If Heaven hadn't given birth to me, I would be arrogant.

The wolf bandit threw his stick aside. He was furious and wanted nothing more than to tear Zong Ze to pieces. But now he hesitated. He was convinced that Zong Ze was a reincarnation of a god. If he really killed Zong Ze, he knew he wouldn't be the only one to suffer divine punishment. If it brought divine punishment upon the entire wolf clan, or even the entire beast clan, the price would be too high for the wolf bandit to bear!

Up to this point, the bandit even believed that it was because he attacked the reincarnation of a deity that he had incurred the divine punishment that the deity should have received upon awakening. Otherwise, why would the divine punishment not be directed at the ancestral sect, but instead befall him?

Zong Ze, however, took advantage of the bandits' inattention and put the stick away.

The wolf bandit couldn't sense it. In his eyes, the Light Blade had shattered. This was God's punishment for his race. Since he dared to attack the reincarnation of a god, God had taken back the divine weapon bestowed upon him years ago.

But Zong Ze knew perfectly well that this wasn't some Radiant Battle Blade at all. It was clearly a magical treasure from the Eastern Immortal Realm, and a super magical treasure of the lightning element. He just didn't know why it had fallen into the hands of that war god, a worthless war god who knew nothing. Since he himself couldn't use magical treasures, he sealed him inside the greatsword and bestowed it upon the wolf clan.

The wolf bandits used a large cleaver to meet the calamity. They didn't know if their own Tribulation of the Three Nine Heavens was too powerful or the God of War's weapon-forging skills were too poor. As a result, nine bolts of lightning shattered the cleaver, and the rod-shaped lightning magic weapon inside was born!

There's also a possibility that this magical artifact utilized the Tribulation of the Three Nine Heavens, which is why it absorbed all the tribulation and shattered the greatsword. Regardless, Zong Ze has now picked up the artifact.

But in an instant, Zong Ze looked pitifully at the wolf bandits: "Well, I have no way to resist. If you have any other methods, please use them, otherwise we will both die!"

After saying that, Zong Ze pointed to the sky: "Twenty-seven have passed, there are eighteen left. If we can get past them, we will win!"

The bandit was furious. He simply couldn't understand how a human child could suddenly become the reincarnation of a god. What angered him even more was that he had many opportunities to give up, yet he had relentlessly hunted down this reincarnated god for five days.

But there was no use in getting angry. The clouds in the sky were now only gold and blue, but even the wolf bandits could feel the terror brought by these two colored clouds.

Finally, there was movement in mid-air again; the fourth heavenly tribulation was about to begin!

Suddenly, the wolf bandit knelt down before Zong Ze: "Respected deity, I know that my pursuit of you is blasphemous, but I truly did not know that you were a reincarnation of a deity. If I had known, I would never have pursued you! No, not only would I not have pursued you, but I would have devoutly followed you and become your loyal servant!"

"Holy crap!" Zong Ze was startled by the wolf bandits' sudden action!

"Revered deity, I know I was wrong. I will do everything I can to shield you from divine punishment. I only ask that you forgive my tribe in the future; they are your children too!" After saying this, the wolf bandit suddenly stood in front of Zong Ze.

"Whoosh!" A golden, fist-sized bead was spat out of the wolf bandit's mouth and spun around on his head.

"Golden elixir!"

Zong Ze finally saw the Golden Core again on the Sacred Word Continent, but in an instant, Zong Ze sensed that something was wrong.

A cultivator's Golden Core is a golden pearl, and this pearl grows slowly like a pearl produced by a clam. Most importantly, the Golden Core is a physical entity!

However, the Golden Core that the wolf bandits spat out was found to be ethereal and not a physical entity at all.

"My God, I will now use my quasi-godhood to resist divine punishment!" the wolf bandit roared. "Whether we succeed or not depends on this!"

"A quasi-godhood?" Zong Ze was puzzled, but now was clearly not the time to solve this problem. Zong Ze found it hard to doubt that the ethereal golden core, or rather the quasi-godhood, could withstand the terrifying fourth and fifth heavenly tribulations.

"Really... really can it work?"

Zong Ze was speechless. Even after the ethereal golden core was shattered into gas by the last of the four or five heavenly tribulations and entered the wolf bandit's body, Zong Ze still couldn't believe that this so-called quasi-god was so powerful that it actually managed to withstand nine of the four or five heavenly tribulations.

"My God, I've done my best!"

The wolf bandit no longer had the strength to stand up and lay limply on the ground, seemingly on the verge of death.

At this moment, the golden thunderclouds in the sky pressed lower and lower. There were already bolts of lightning as thick as a thigh just now; one can only imagine how terrifying this final tribulation would be!

"What a pity!" The wolf bandits looked at the golden clouds in the sky. "It's a pity that you, my god, haven't reached the realm above Martial Venerable. Otherwise, we would have one last way to escape!"

"What method?" Faced with this werewolf who single-handedly blocked all thirty-six heavenly tribulations for him, even though he had previously chased him to the point of having nowhere to go and two thousand of his personal guards had died, Zong Ze really didn't know how to be ruthless towards him now.

"I have a wooden stick passed down from my ancestors!" The wolf bandit opened his mouth and spat out a small, thin wooden stick: "It is said that this was the teleportation scroll used by our true masters, the Demon Clan. Using it, one can instantly travel tens of thousands of miles away. Unfortunately, to activate it, one must have at least the strength of a Martial Venerable. Since our betrayal, none of us have been able to break through to the Martial Venerable level. This wooden stick has been passed down to us!"

"Damn it! Why didn't you take it out earlier!" Zong Ze's eyes widened when he saw the wooden strip!

This isn't a teleportation scroll at all; it's clearly a spatial array. Almost everyone in the cultivation world has one, with the array inscribed on it. When moving around, you can activate the array to instantly teleport to your destination.

Zong Ze could vaguely make out that the array on the wooden strip in his hand was a spatial array, but compared to the arrays in the cultivation world, this one was far too complex!

However complex it may be, it is still a spatial array. A few years ago, Zong Ze wouldn't have been able to use it. But now, Zong Ze is a cultivator and can freely use the spiritual power within his body. In other words, as long as he inputs spiritual power into the wooden strip, he can instantly teleport there.

Holding the wooden strip in his hand, Zong Ze glanced at the wolf bandit lying on the ground, sighed slightly, and ultimately couldn't bring himself to do such a thing. With a wave of his hand, the clothes he had just taken off were back on his body, and then he put the wolf bandit into his sleeve as well.

Looking up at the sky, Zong Ze reached out to the golden clouds and said, "Goodbye, Five-Nine Heavenly Tribulation!"

He then channeled his spiritual energy into the wooden strip!
