This Earth Is A Bit Fearsome

All of Song Tongheng’s exposed skin glowed blood-red. It felt as if a powerful surge of energy was raging within him, and every single pore oozed formidable power.

 Power burst from all over Song Tongheng under the effects of such an enormous surge of energy.

 However, the expression on his face was one of pain. The surging power seemed to be constantly tearing at the muscles of his body.

 Yet, his expression was ferocious at the same time because the surge of energy all over him was unmistakable.

 Such was the power of one at Deity level.

 Such massive powers would only last for a short period of time, with severe side effects waiting to happen later, and he would no longer be able to progress any further for the rest of his life.

 But given the circumstances he was already in, there was little or nothing to fear anymore.

 Song Maoxun was able to easily make it from his state at the pinnacle of National Guardian level up to Level Eight Deity. Compared to Song Tongheng, who had only been able to boost his powers forcibly using pills, Song Maoxun’s state as a Deity was far superior.

 While Song Maoxun was basking in his newly obtained power, he still felt suspicious. The difference between what he got and what he expected to get was just too great.

 According to his calculations, such a method of enhancement should have boosted his powers beyond Level Nine. Even if the time and space involved diminished the power quite a bit, it should have still been far more than what he’d received at that moment.

 He looked up at the night sky and saw the vague outline of a barrier erected above the ancestral land of the Song Clan.

 That was the barrier that had stopped the rush of energy from pouring down onto him in its entirety.

 “Why is there a barrier?” Song Maoxun’s eyes opened wide. It wasn’t that there were no barriers to be found in the estate’s vicinity, but he knew of all the barriers that existed very well, and there had definitely never one like the one he just saw.

 “Because I put it there,” Lu Xuan explained slowly, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

 “You?” Song Maoxun scowled at Lu Xuan. Intense killing intent was seen in his eyes, but there was a hint of wariness in them, too.

 The pressure emitted by Lu Xuan’s power was unmistakably huge.

 “How did you know of the trump card of the Song Clan?” Song Maoxun continued glaring at Lu Xuan.

 He wanted nothing more than to tear Lu Xuan to pieces right there and then.

 However, he remained puzzled as to how Lu Xuan had been able to lay down such a specific countermeasure against the clan. He did not believe that Lu Xuan just happened to have set up something that worked by coincidence.

 It was clear that Lu Xuan had come prepared.
