Chapter 1121 – The Missing ‘Ark of the Covenant’

　　Hearing this reply, Lin Qiye and the others’ hearts simultaneously thumped.

　　The [Ark of the Covenant] was the ultimate goal of their trip, and something that was crucial to Da Xia, and if they couldn’t bring the [Ark of the Covenant] back, then they would have completely wasted a trip not to mention that it wouldn’t be easy to account for it on the side of the Heavenly Father.

　　”It’s gone? How could it be gone?” Lin Qiye spoke in confusion, “Could it be that you remembered the wrong place?”

　　Michael shook his head, “Impossible, the [Ark of the Covenant] is too important, at one time it had always been stored at the Holy Lord’s side, and after the Holy Lord transformed the moon, it had never moved, it was right here.”

　　He raised His head and looked around at the shattered palace, those furnace-like eyes narrowing slightly:

　　”This palace, it shouldn’t be like this …… Someone has been here.”

　　”This palace, wasn’t it destroyed by the Heavenly Hell Battle of your year?”

　　”No. Although the divine war back then was tragic, the flames of the war did not spread to the Holy Lord’s residence, and it was still intact before I traveled to the Moon to watch over the earth.”

　　On the side, An Qingyu frowned slightly, squatting down in the corner of the palace, pinching up a few broken bricks, his eyes flickering with gray light.

　　After a moment, he slowly stood up and nodded, “That’s right, these broken traces are all very new, they should have been left within the last week.”

　　One week ……

　　Lin Qiye’s gaze swept over the broken palace and after a moment of contemplation, he reached out and gently pressed his hand in the void.

　　A splendid magic formation opened up in front of him.

　　The instant this magic formation appeared, Michael’s eyes flashed with surprise as He gazed at the magic formation, His gaze seeming to trace the spatial shifts of the summoning magic, searching for something.

　　In the next moment, a black shadow then stepped out from the magic array, and at its brow, a red eye slowly opened.

　　”Escort 007, Black Hitomi, would like to serve the dean.” Black Hitomi bowed slightly and spoke politely.

　　”Use your ability to peer into the past, who has come here during this week.” Lin Qiye spoke calmly.

　　Black pupil’s [Eye of Peeping Secrets] could probe the past and future of objects that didn’t possess life for a week, and it was most effective when used to find people and things.

　　”Yes.”

　　The red eye at the center of the black pupil’s brow looked towards the broken palace in front of it, and between its black pupils, a mysterious shimmering light flashed, and in its vision, the time of this palace began to rapidly regress.

　　One day, two days, three days …… six days, seven days.

　　The first few days of the retrogression, this palace remained a ruin, unchanged, but when the black pupil’s [Eye of Peeping Mysteries], began to peer into the past on the seventh day, a strange change occurred!

　　Amidst the regressing palace’s remnants, Black Hitomi vaguely saw a figure standing on the ruins, who seemed to have sensed something, and surprisingly turned his head, his gaze piercing through the endless space and time, and locked eyes with him.

　　Bang–!

　　Black Hitomi’s body felt like it had been hit by an invisible sledgehammer, and flew backwards out of thin air a dozen meters away, smashing heavily into the ground outside the palace ruins.

　　”Black Hitomi?!”

　　This sudden turn of events caused Lin Qiye’s mind to be shaken as he quickly rushed forward to help Black Hitomi up, and a strand of black blood was flowing out of that crimson colored eye.

　　”Eh?” As if he sensed something, Michael violently turned his head to look at the nothingness beside the high platform, a pair of furnace-like eyes narrowed slightly, “This scent ……”

　　”Black pupil, are you alright?” Lin Qiye looked at Black Pupil’s painfully twisted shadow and frowned.

　　”I’m fine …… just suffered some backlash.” Black pupil closed that red-colored eye, his voice was weak, “He saw me.”

　　”Who?”

　　”Seven days ago, the person standing here …… No, that is never a person, that is a god.” The black pupil spoke with certainty, “Although I didn’t see his appearance, but from the breath, that was never the power that an ordinary god could possess …… That was a supreme god! Moreover, his body carries an evil aura that is disgusting.”

　　Supreme God?

　　Lin Qiye’s face turned ugly when he heard those three words.

　　He turned his head to look at Michael, only to see that the latter was standing at the edge of the high platform, looking at the nothingness in front of him in thought.

　　”He’s right.” Michael slowly spoke, “That aura just now could only have come from the Supreme ……”

　　”But how can other Supreme Gods enter the Heavenly Kingdom?” The color of doubt in Lin Qiye’s eyes intensified, “Black pupil said that he carries an evil aura, can this also pass through the Mind Pure Land and enter the Heavenly Kingdom?”

　　Michael pondered for a moment and shook his head:

　　”The God of Evil, is unable to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, he can enter here, he should have passed through somewhere else ……”

　　Michael’s gaze fell on the end of the horizon, above the giant sword crack that churned with crimson lava.

　　”He entered the Heavenly Kingdom from Hell?” Anqing Yu looked like she had realized something.

　　”The boundary between the Heavenly Kingdom and Hell was cracked in the divine war countless years ago, so as long as he finds the entrance to Hell first, he can pass through Hell and reach the Heavenly Kingdom. This is the only possibility.”

　　”Then what do we do now?” Jiang’er asked as he floated in the air.

　　Michael’s eyes narrowed slightly, and all six wings behind him stretched out, nearly completely covering the dim sky, His figure levitating up from the earth, and in those golden eyes, a divine might as bright and fiery as the sun erupted!

　　A brilliant golden field, like a storm, spread out rapidly with Him as the center, and in an instant, it ran into the sky!

　　Terrifying divine might surged out like a tidal wave from the six-winged figure in the sky, and Lin Qiye’s three were shocked so much that they could only forcefully support their bodies, and even though Michael wasn’t aiming at them, the mere aftermath of the escaping waves had put them on the verge of their limits.

　　”What is He doing?” An Qingyu asked while resisting the Blazing Angel Divine Might and clenching her teeth.

　　”It’s the [Mortal Dust Divine Domain].” Underneath this golden domain, the eyes of Lin Qiye, who was an agent, couldn’t help but ignite with golden light, “He’s searching for that Supreme God ……”

　　A moment later, Michael, who was hanging in the air, seemed to sense something and slightly lowered his head, his gaze seemingly piercing through the void and landing in the deepest part of hell.

　　”How dare you hide here ……”

　　Michael’s eyes that were filled with blazing heat and majesty flickered with a morose killing intent.

　　Those six white feathered wings that covered the sky gently shook in the air, and His figure instantly flashed through the void, disappearing between the heavens.

　　The terrifying sense of oppression vanished with Michael’s disappearance, and as points of residual golden aura dispersed in the air, Lin Qiye took a long sigh of relief.

　　An Qingyu wiped away the sweat at the corner of her forehead and looked at the sky with a palpitating heart, “Where did He go?”

　　”Should be going after that Supreme God who stole the [Ark of the Covenant].” Lin Qiye pondered, “But just which Supreme would ascend to heaven from hell to steal the [Ark of the Covenant]?……”

　　Before Lin Qiye’s words fell, the heavenly earth beneath his feet suddenly shook violently!
