The nearly two hundred remaining Immortal Emperors, all mid-realm and above, would definitely spell disaster for the Heavenly Mechanism Sect if they were given a chance to rebel.
“It’s actually a domain of laws! The intelligence was wrong, I never thought that the Heavenly Mechanism Sect had such a terrifying peerless expert hidden, this is bad!” The bald man resisted the suppression of the domain of laws with all his might, his face extremely grim.
He had stepped into the realm of Complete Immortal Emperor for many years, but the laws he had comprehended only numbered in the thousands, far from enough to form a domain of laws. The domain of laws currently trapping and killing them was composed of over forty thousand various laws, something he was entirely unable to break through.
He suspected that even if he detonated his Immortal Infant, it would be suppressed by the domain of laws.
The terrifying gravity, the flames that seemed capable of melting heaven and earth, either one was hard enough to resist, let alone the other laws that were eroding them.
In a few breaths’ time, many more Immortal Emperors could no longer hold on, their souls were ground away by Heaven’s Hidden Soul Nourishing Flame, leaving only unconscious Immortal Infants that were collected by Li Cheng into the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod.
Li Cheng’s heart stirred, and he urged the Earth Rules with all his might, increasing the gravitational force. Suddenly, bursts of blood mist exploded, leaving only the Immortal Infants in place.
Not giving those Immortal Infants a chance to escape, Li Cheng directly collected them into the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod.
“The domain is filled with a great amount of soul power, if I can find a way to gather it, Senior Tianyuan’s Remnant Soul might be able to recover,” Li Cheng thought to himself.
This soul power was the escaping essence of those who had died. If the domain was removed, this power would completely dissipate.
But Li Cheng suddenly felt that there might be a way to gather this power and refine it into Soul Pills!
Of course, there were still the last ten or so Immortal Emperors holding on, they needed to be eliminated first.
These ten-plus individuals were all at the pinnacle of Immortal Emperors; even as Li Cheng continually changed the direction of gravity, they had adapted slightly, their robust Immortal Yuan protecting their bodies, resisting the invasion of the fierce flames.
“Leader, we can’t hold on much longer!” someone shouted.
It was too fast. In less than ten breaths’ time, eight thousand had been reduced to just over ten individuals.
The bald man’s face was ashen. He also was barely holding on and wouldn’t last much longer.
However, the next second, something even more despairing happened!
Li Cheng took out the Life and Death Demon Dragon Bow and notched an Arrow of Time, drawing the bow fiercely!
Tens of millions of arrow path rules entwined, and the ten-odd people felt their scalps tingle, it was over!
The gravity and flames in the domain were hard to resist already, and with this terrifying arrow added to the mix, what chance did they have to save themselves?
The Arrow of Time flashed by, moving like lightning among the crowd, with gravity’s suppression making it impossible for anyone to evade, instantaneously penetrating through each person’s chest!
The Power of Life and Death on the arrow caused their bodies to explode directly, leaving only the Immortal Infants in place.
Even the Complete Immortal Emperor, the bald man, was not spared!
With only their Immortal Infants remaining, their combat power was reduced to one-tenth, no longer any threat, and were directly collected by Li Cheng into the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod.
“Done! One hundred and ninety-two Immortal Infants, mostly unconscious.”
Li Cheng let out a sigh of relief, having eliminated the crisis with the swiftness of a thunderbolt.
Now, only the robust Immortal Yuan and Soul Power drifting in the domain, and the flesh being scorched by the flames, remained.
“Refine for me!”
Li Cheng controlled the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod to collect all the flesh and Soul Power in the domain, beginning the refining process.
Before long, a large number of blood-colored Immortal Pills and semi-existent Soul Pills appeared inside the Tripod.
“Tsk tsk, to refine eight thousand strong individuals into pills, aren’t you afraid of divine retribution?” Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan said with a click of his tongue.
The corner of Li Cheng’s mouth curved slightly, “Three hundred Immortal Emperors, thousands of Immortal Venerables, and Immortal Kings, the Immortal Pills and Soul Pills refined from their flesh will certainly be a great supplement for you, why not give them a try?”
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan fell silent, “Are you trying to make me attract divine punishment?”
“Are you scared?” Li Cheng countered.
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan raised an eyebrow, took a few Soul Pills, and began to crazily refine them with the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture, “Scared? Just you wait and see!”
The Soul Pills, formed from the convergence of so many powerful souls, were enough to fully restore Immortal Emperor Tianyuan’s Remnant Soul, perhaps even more significantly than in the past.
Afterwards, with the aid of those Immortal Pills to condense his physical form, it’s feared that he might surpass his peak condition.
Li Cheng put away the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod, withdrew his Domain, and appeared in front of everyone.
“Eh? Just a dozen or so breaths’ time and all those invaders are gone?” Gu Sanqiu’s eyes widened as he sized up Li Cheng up and down.
Tianji Zi’s face was filled with satisfaction as he repeatedly nodded in approval.
“Tianji Zi, no wonder you were so certain, you must have calculated that the crisis would be resolved by Li Cheng, right?” Gu Sanqiu asked.
Tianji Zi gave a slight nod, “Why did the Heavenly Mechanism Sect move back here? It’s not because we feared the Immortal Court, but because the path of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect lies in the Kunlun Realm.”
Whoosh…
A large quantity of Immortal Artifacts and storage rings floated towards Mu Xingzhi, and Li Cheng said, “Sect Master, I’ll leave these to you.”
Mu Xingzhi didn’t dare to refuse, and, putting away the items, he smiled and said, “Junior Ancestor Uncle, we owe you a great deal. Otherwise, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect might have been no more.”
“What about me? Didn’t I also block those people’s attack?” the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle said.
Mu Xingzhi quickly nodded, “Naturally we should also thank Sister Divine Turtle!”
“That’s more like it. Since that’s the case, how about sharing some of those storage rings with me?” the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle said with a cheeky smile.
Mu Xingzhi was stunned; was the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle asking for spoils of war at this time?
“You’re already an Immortal Emperor, those things are unnecessary for you. Just focus on comprehending the Space Law,” Li Cheng said.
The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle shrank its neck, not daring to bring it up again.
Li Cheng walked up to Tianji Zi and bowed deeply, “Disciple Li Cheng, pays respects to Ancestor Master!”
Having spent many years in the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, Li Cheng had heard many stories about Tianji Zi. Like the other disciples, he regarded Tianji Zi as an idol.
In the past, in the Secret Land of Qi Jingshen, he had heard from Qi Jingshen’s recorded image about Tianji Zi. Later, he also heard Yan Bei mention him. All in all, the image Tianji Zi had in Li Cheng’s mind was stamped with an all-knowing label.
Tianji Zi was thin and slightly hunched, looking compassionately frail. His lifespan was not much longer.
“Little Cheng, get up quickly!” Tianji Zi took Li Cheng’s arms and helped him up, his benevolent face filled with satisfaction.
Li Cheng had done so much for the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. Without him, the Sect would still be at the bottom of the top ten sects.
All this was known to Tianji Zi.
“Ancestor Master, I haven’t been able to do anything for you, but instead, you’ve helped Ancestor Master time and again. I feel ashamed!” Tianji Zi said with emotion.
A smile appeared on Li Cheng’s face, “Ancestor Master must not think like that. You’ve worked tirelessly for the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, sheltering us from wind and rain. The ones who should feel ashamed are us, the juniors.” “Enough with you two, can you stop being so sickeningly sweet?” Gu Sanqiu interjected at just the right moment.
“Now that Li Cheng has killed so many top figures of the hierarchy, he will surely have a great deterrent effect on both the Immortal World and the Kunlun Realm. In the short term, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect shouldn’t have any problems, right?”
“Since there’s no trouble now, Li Cheng, come with me!” Gu Sanqiu said.
