Chapter 502: Chapter 501: Don’t rush to leave (Extra for the wolf guarding the sheep of the Silver Alliance)
“The whimsical talents of the Nine Provinces world?” The Honghu Messenger’s heart gave rise to amusement. He didn’t think there is anything in the mortal world that could threaten him.
It’s just a little clever trick, which he can soon figure out.
Honghu Messenger tentatively unleashed an attack, an intricate combination of thousands of different formations, each contributing to this one strike. Even a black hole would undergo annihilation under this strike. Yet, when it hit Jiang Li’s statue, there was no change at all, and the figure inside the statue didn’t even sense the attack.
“Is it some kind of power dissolving technique? Or perhaps it was a space displacement of the attack…”
The Honghu Messenger continually attacked, attempting to understand how an ordinary bronze statue could withstand his attacks.
The Respected God-hidden is the embodiment of Heavenly Dao, and no one in the Immortal Realm dares to attack his statue. Therefore, the Honghu Messenger didn’t know about certain dreadful entities whose statues also couldn’t be damaged.
“It seems like it has quieted outside?” The man named Tian noticed that the attacks had ceased and his cultivation technique didn’t alert him to any danger in the vicinity either.
The former master of Tian Sha Pavilion gave Tian a glance, “Do you think the Heavenly Demon would let us go that easily?”
“Master…we are scared.” The thought of the Sky Mechanism Tower’s dozens of disciples facing an attack from a heavenly immortal level demon sent chills down their spines.
The former master of Tian Sha Pavilion released his divine sense and discovered that what was protecting them was actually Jiang Li’s statue.
“What?” Tian thought he had misheard, so he too released his divine sense and also saw Jiang Li’s statue.
No matter if it was the Honghu Messenger or the cultivators of Nine Provinces, none of them could make sense of the scene before their eyes.
The Honghu Messenger exhausted all his techniques, but failed to do anything to the statue of Jiang Li.
Gradually, the Honghu Messenger began to lose his patience.
“Whatever it is, kill the people first, then examine the statue leisurely.”
The Honghu Messenger started to feel a growing urge to kill. He had ways of bypassing the statue and killing the people.
He transformed into a giant illusionary hand, shaking the statue up and down, causing Tian and others to be tossed around inside.
This appeared to be a playful attack, but only Tian and others who were the targets of this attack could understand the true destructive force.
This shaking was too fast. If this was to continue, they would turn into minced meat due to the constant collisions!
Tian thought of another safety measure.
“…Summoning talisman.”
A transportation formation appeared next to the statue. The Honghu Messenger who sensed an adverse situation started to attack the newcomers.
A giant hand suddenly appeared, grabbing the wrist of the Honghu Messenger in mid-strike.
The Honghu Messenger was completely shocked. How could it be possible for someone to appear silently by his side, and with such powerful strength?
The most crucial part was, why did this person look exactly like the statue!
Jiang Li calmly looked at the Honghu Messenger, with a slight smile on his face.
Jiang Li has arrived with the summons.
“If my calculations are correct, this is my first time seeing a real Heavenly Immortal.” Jiang Li said with a smile, this was an unexpected harvest indeed. He actually found an Immortal before leaving for the Underworld.
“Emperor…” Mount Heshan staggered over, finally finding his main force.
Jiang Li pointed at the statue and kept it in the Storage Ring, letting Tian and others come out.
His statue was merely for emergency safety measures. Now that his real body had arrived, there was no longer a need for the statue.
“Emperor…” Tian was overwhelmed with emotions, earlier he really thought they were all going to perish.
“Let go!” the Honghu Messenger threw a punch. Jiang Li, unruffled, extended his left index finger to block this seemingly effortless attack.
The Honghu Messenger couldn’t believe what he was seeing. This punch was his all, even the annoying Du Ye wouldn’t have taken it so casually.
Seeing Jiang Li not letting go, the Honghu Messenger severed his own wrist and quickly distanced himself from Jiang Li, horrified.
The opponent did nothing but stood there calmly, holding his wrist, and he had the sensation of being infinitely close to death. Only when he distanced himself from Jiang Li did he feel somewhat better.
But just slightly.
“Who are you?!” The Honghu Messenger shouted, using a loud voice to boost his courage, unaware that his legs were trembling as he spoke.
“The Nine Provinces World, Emperor Jiang Li.” Jiang Li raised his hand, twisting his neck.
The Honghu Messenger’s pupils dilated, thinking he had hallucinated.
How could such a person appear in the Lower Realm?
Seeing Jiang Li raised his hand, assuming that he was about to strike, he was so scared that he immediately took a defensive stance, only to see that the opponent was merely adjusting his neck.
At this moment, he was like a wild chicken scared out of its wits, an action from the hunter could make him panic.
“Impossible! No matter how powerful the Nine Provinces World is, they can only have a few individuals at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, and they don’t even have Immortals! How could someone like you appear?”
The Honghu Messenger refused to believe Jiang Li’s words. He brought his two palms together and then suddenly spread them apart. Countless formations appeared from his palm, interweaving into an enormous, dazzling formation.
“That’s the Slaying Immortal Destroying Earth Formation from the legends. It’s said that even Heavenly Immortals who are trapped in this formation will find it hard to escape death!” Tian recognised this technique.
The formation enveloped several galaxies and was filled with a murderous intent. Chains surged out from the formation, binding Jiang Li’s limbs and neck. The five chains pulled outwards, intending to tear Jiang Li apart.
The chains could seal off an Immortal’s mana, render an Immortal’s physique useless, and entirely degrade a cultivator, leaving no chance for an Immortal to escape.
During the great chaos in the Immortal Realm, the Honghu Messenger had used this technique to kill several Immortals of the same level.
But now, his once-prided technique was utterly ineffective in front of Jiang Li.
With just a bit of effort, Jiang Li pulled the chains along with the formation behind them, and with a covering hand, mixed these messy things into a ball and tossed it towards the Honghu Messenger.
The Honghu Messenger couldn’t dodge in time and was hit, spouting blood from his mouth, heavily injured.
One hit had inflicted him an irreversible internal injury, shaving a quarter of his lifespan away.
The Honghu Messenger’s heart was trembling.
One that totally suppressed him… the opponent is a Golden Immortal!
How could a Golden Immortal appear in a place devoid of immortal power?
The Honghu Messenger couldn’t understand this. However, he knew that all of this must be connected to Du Ye in some way or another.
That wicked Du Ye failed to report such a significant oversight. The Nine Provinces World must have undergone unknown changes!
Without uttering another word, the Honghu Messenger immediately burned his lifespan to use his most potent attack.
In front of a Golden Immortal, he dared not hold anything back.
The Honghu Messenger transformed into a giant thousands of feet tall, with blue skin and formation patterns flickering underneath the skin.
Boom——
The Honghu Messenger’s body exploded, with countless pieces of flesh, bone, and blood systematically dispersed to surround Jiang Li.
Every part of his body, including the marrow, heart and other areas, were carved with formation lines.
This was his life-risking technique.
He didn’t even have a name for this technique, thinking he would never use it in his lifetime.
Thump——Thump——Thump——
The life-risking formation caused nature’s spiritual energy to vibrate, just like a Giant’s heart beating. Anyone who uses spiritual energy would resonate, causing a great spiritual energy explosion inside their bodies.
“Die!”
If this technique could be successfully activated, not just Tian, but even Mount Heshan would inevitably die.
Unfortunately for him, Jiang Li was there, and the technique was doomed to fail.
With a gentle squeeze, Jiang Li gathered the scattered flesh and bones of the Honghu Messenger.
The Honghu Messenger, who originally wanted to take the opportunity to escape, was held by the neck by Jiang Li, his legs wriggling in the air.
Jiang Li revealed his neat row of eight teeth. “Don’t rush to leave. I have many questions I want to ask you.”
