Chapter 238: Chapter 237 Innate Divine Ability_1

The bald brute felt a bit of unease in his heart because Tianji Zi’s smile was too bizarre.

Just then, Tianji Zi spoke again, “Since that is the case, I will hand over Li Cheng and the Seven Mystery Tower to you.”

As the voice fell, Yan Wuxiang emerged from the Seven Mystery Tower, casually took the tower into his palm, and then stepped toward the edge of the Formation.

Yan Wuxiang continued as he walked, “I do not know any of you gentlemen, and yet you have specifically asked for me by name; what could this matter be about?”

The bald brute sensed the powerful aura of Yan Wuxiang and frowned slightly, “Are you Li Cheng? As far as I know, Li Cheng is not an Immortal Emperor but at most an Immortal King.”

Yan Wuxiang could not help but laugh. These people were calling for Li Cheng to be handed over, yet they did not even know what Li Cheng looked like!

Without a doubt, just as Tianji Zi had said, it was merely an excuse.

Even if Li Cheng was really handed over, these people would definitely come up with another excuse immediately, until the Heavenly Mechanism Sect refused, which would give them an opportunity to make their move.

“I am Li Cheng. What is it, sir? You insist on having me and the Seven Mystery Tower but do not recognize me? Then, I would like to ask, what do you want with me?” said Yan Wuxiang.

The bald brute’s eyes narrowed slightly, “You are not Li Cheng at all, how dare you deceive this… this palace master is seeking death!”

Yan Wuxiang stopped at the edge of the Formation, “To control the Immortal World, such a massive force, yet you come to the Kunlun Realm to play these tricks, it is truly contemptible!”

The one who controlled the Immortal World was naturally the Immortal Court.

The bald brute snorted coldly, “Attack, leave none alive!”

Swish…

Nearly eight thousand people simultaneously raised their Immortal Artifacts in hand, and the terrifying power was gathering quickly. In an instant, a giant sword tens of thousands of miles long had appeared above them.

Yan Wuxiang’s face was full of disdain, “What idiots. They could have attacked earlier but insisted on finding all sorts of nonsensical excuses. Now it’s too late to strike!”

It wasn’t just Yan Wuxiang who held disdain for these people; all the Immortal Emperors on the scene felt the same.

Since these people intended to move against the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, they should have just struck directly, but instead, they wanted to sow discord between Li Cheng and the Heavenly Mechanism Sect first.

However, everyone also understood that the so-called Seven Mystery Hall said this as a precaution.

If by any chance someone from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect managed to escape or if a spark remained, it would certainly cause trouble for the Immortal Court.

Thus, they needed a scapegoat.

And with Li Cheng’s renowned name, he was naturally a suitable candidate.

Later on, any remnants of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect would surely despise Li Cheng, believing that the sect was destroyed because it had chosen to protect Li Cheng and had not handed over him, and they would also believe that Li Cheng was too afraid to die to step forward voluntarily, implicating the entire sect.

After all, completely exterminating a grand sect like the Heavenly Mechanism Sect was almost impossible; there would always be fish that slip through the net.

This was why the bald brute had initially demanded the Heavenly Mechanism Sect to hand over Li Cheng and the Seven Mystery Tower.

But at this moment, there was no longer any need to bother with those reasons, to kill was the principle.

In a few breaths, with the collective effort of eight thousand people, the tens of thousands of miles long sword in the sky began to emit a blinding light and fiercely slashed towards the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.

The Sect Protection Array of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect had already been activated, and over the past few months, the Sect Protection Array had become countless times stronger with the help of the sect members from the Immortal World. It was nearly impossible for ordinary Immortal Emperors to break through it.

But those who made their move now were more than three hundred Immortal Emperors and thousands of Immortal Venerables and Immortal Kings, such a fearsome power, even the top-level ninth grade Immortal Array might not be able to withstand it.

Indeed, even before the giant sword reached them, the array was already being pressed to the point of distortion, as if it would shatter at any moment.

Boom!

The array did not last a second before it was shattered by the giant sword, and the terrifying aftershock was about to sweep over the Heavenly Mechanism Sect!

“Extend it for me!”

Suddenly, a thunderous shout echoed through the skies.

Accompanying the shout, a colossal phantom claw suddenly appeared and clawed towards the giant sword, causing the sword to appear shrunken, distancing it further and further away from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, and its blade’s glow growing weaker and weaker.

“Hm? Space extension? I did not expect the Heavenly Mechanism Sect to hide an Immortal Emperor who is proficient in the power of space!” The bald brute frowned, his gaze intently turned towards Yan Wuxiang’s side.

He clearly sensed a sudden surge of formidable power fluctuations next to Yan Wuxiang.

But at a glance, the bald strongman felt a wave of panic because that was obviously a Divine Beast, the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle!

Moreover, it was a Divine Beast in the early stages of the Immortal Emperor Realm!

In the blink of an eye, the giant sword dissipated in space that had been expanded countless times. Although it had broken through the Heavenly Mechanism Sect’s grand array, it hadn’t injured anyone.

“This Formation isn’t good enough. Why didn’t they ask my master to do it?” The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle said indignantly, having succeeded.

People of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect were already prepared for battle, but they were dumbfounded by the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle’s maneuver. An early-stage Immortal Emperor, yet it easily broke through the combined attack of so many powerful fighters?

“Interesting, the Divine Beast, Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle, your Innate Divine Ability really lives up to its reputation. But I wonder how many times you can withstand it?”

The bald strongman recovered his senses and waved his hand. Everyone launched their attacks simultaneously once again, conjuring a massive sword energy seemingly capable of destroying heaven and earth at high speed.

The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle’s bright eyes narrowed slightly, “Nothing but this!”

“Slash!”

The bald strongman, leading everyone’s gathered sword energy, struck at the Heavenly Mechanism Sect once more.

“Master, I’ve just stepped into the Immortal Emperor Realm, I can’t withstand such an attack a second time, hurry up!” the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle transmitted its message.

Blocking that attack had drained all of its strength.

“You’re a paper tiger. Just now, you should’ve used spatial folding to fold their attack back on them,” Li Cheng’s voice rang out.

Subsequently, Li Cheng also appeared beside Yan Wuxiang, not daring to take the attack head-on, he waved his hand and threw out the Immortal Palace.

The Immortal Palace instantly transformed into a colossal size of tens of thousands of miles, positioned above the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.

Boom!

The attack came down in an instant, slashing the Immortal Palace to tatters, but fortunately, it was successfully blocked.

“My…my training Holy Land!” The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle’s eyes bulged. Was the Immortal Palace just destroyed like this?

Li Cheng frowned; there was no helping it. With so many powerful cultivators’ attack converging, it was already quite remarkable that the Immortal Palace could block it even once.

But obviously, they couldn’t give those people another chance to gather their attacks; otherwise, how could they withstand them?

Three hundred Immortal Emperors, thousands of Immortal Venerables, Immortal Kings—it would probably take Deities to withstand them.

Without hesitation, Li Cheng activated his Law field, enveloping all eight thousand people inside it.

Previously, he was still cultivating in the Seven Mystery Tower; otherwise, if he had taken action earlier, the Immortal Palace wouldn’t have been destroyed.

Under the Law field’s cover, frightening gravity kept changing direction, instantly crushing all beings at the Immortal King level to death, rendering the Immortal Venerables powerless to resist, and only those at the Immortal Emperor level struggled to cope, exhausted by their attempts to fend off the onslaught.

“Fire!”

Li Cheng bellowed. Inside the Law field, he activated the Rule of Fire, invoking the Heaven’s Hidden Soul Nourishing Flame, turning the field into a sea of fire in an instant!

The soul-corroding nature of the Heaven’s Hidden Soul Nourishing Flame caused everyone to suffer excruciating headaches, and with the added backing of the Law, its terrifying heat caused the forms of many Immortal Emperors to waver and weaken.

In the blink of an eye, the previously formidable force of eight thousand had dwindled to less than two hundred!

Gu Sanqiu and others watched Li Cheng with faces full of horror. It was difficult to imagine how, as a newcomer to the Immortal Emperor Realm, he could wipe out so many strong opponents with such ease!

By his own power, he was mightier than a thousand troops.

The remaining few, less than two hundred beings, were all at the level of Immortal Emperors. But under Li Cheng’s Law field, Gu Sanqiu and the others simply couldn’t intervene, leaving them to wait for the outcome.

“Master, withdraw your field, let me have some fun too!” the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle said.

Li Cheng had no time to respond, as he couldn’t afford to give the bald strongman and others a chance to catch their breath. Otherwise, they would surely face dire consequences.

These people, he must annihilate in one fell swoop, leaving them no chance at all.
