Chapter 73: This Artifact Spirit is Very Strong!_i
Translator: 549690339
Li Cheng looked at the man with utter disdain. Just like Feng Wanli back then, although he was only at the early stages of being a Heavenly Immortal, he brazenly claimed to be at the Complete level of Heavenly Immortal, shameless. Did he really think that spouting such nonsense would make others afraid? With only that level of strength, was there any use in talking nonsense?
âSince youâre shameless, letâs see if you can withstand my full-strength punch!â Li Cheng struck with all his might, ten thousand rules of the Fist Path swirling around his fist as he fiercely bombarded Lu Sanqian!
Having already given Lu Sanqian a chance to catch his breath, he intended to make him admit defeat both willingly and convincingly.
Lu Sanqianâs momentum surged, pushing his Immortal Yuan to the extreme, creating a strong oppressive force that caused the ground around him to continuously collapse, âCome! Face your death!â
With a ferocious roar, an Immortal Weapon War Saber flew out from Lu Sanqianâs Dantian. Clutching it in his hand, he gathered a vast amount of Immortal Yuan into a blade light and fiercely slashed down!
Before the blade light even arrived, its violent power had already swept across heaven and earth, the ground constantly collapsing, frightening the onlookers into rapidly flying away to the sides.
âSo slow?â
Li Cheng appeared beside Lu Sanqian in one step, taking advantage of his slash, and punched him in the left shoulder. In an instant, Lu Sanqianâs body turned into a mist of blood, leaving only the Immortal Infant behind!
The Immortal Infant was clad in a suit of silver armor, which was also shattered by the punch, but fortunately, it had preserved the Immortal Infant. A look of horror covered the Immortal Infantâs face, âYou⊠Immortal Spirit Step? Dammit, youâre cheatingâŠâ
Boom!
Just then, as the blade light from Lu Sanqianâs slash entered the broken ground, constant booming sounds could be heard, and numerous distant mountains collapsed. Within a few breaths, a canyon several hundred miles long had formed!
âTsk tsk⊠After all, itâs just a Secret Land, still too weak, if it were outside, his slash couldnât have caused such destruction,â Black Elder said with a laugh.
Old Bai nodded with a smile, âIf we were outside, he could at best split a few mountains. Our Kunlun Realm has existed for countless eras, with space being very stable indeed!â
Li Cheng casually grabbed Lu Sanqianâs Immortal Infant, âYou canât take a hit?
You should have said so earlier, then 1 wouldnât have hit you so hard.â
Lu Sanqian tried to struggle, but found himself tightly seized and utterly unable to move!
âLet go of me, I give up, the Astonished God Tripod is yours!â Lu Sanqian said through clenched teeth.
Li Chengâs face was full of scorn, âIs your realization that low?â
His life and death were in his control and still, he dared to talk like that?
Lu Sanqian glared at Li Cheng, âKid, youâre lecturing me about realization? If you have any, then let go of me right away, otherwise, hmpf!â
Li Cheng laughed, âYou must be an idiot, right?â
As he spoke, Li Cheng squeezed harder while circulating the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture to absorb the Immortal Yuan.
âDamn it all, you guys, why arenât you saving me?â roared Lu Sanqian.
Li Cheng glanced at Zhuo Buâer and others flying back, said teasingly, âWant to save him?â
The crowd swallowed hard, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Even Elder Lu had exploded after three punches, how could they dare to make a move?
Li Cheng did not hide his disdainful gaze as it moved to the Immortal Infant in his hand, âWhere did you deceive my master into going back then?â
âI wonât tell you, kid. You wonât make it out of the Artifact Sect alive. Let me go now, and you may still leave a whole corpse!â
Li Chengâs brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at the Black and White Elders, âElders, I think this man is sick, definitely sick!â
In such a situation, still stubbornly talking back? Still daring to threaten?
Yes, thatâs sick!
Old Bai pointed at the people of the Artifact Sect, âWith so many of his juniors looking on, if he begged for mercy, what would become of a Heavenly Immortalâs dignity?â
Right!
Li Cheng nodded, enlightened, âLu Sanqian, Iâll kill these twenty-one people first, then weâll talk!â
As soon as these words came out, Zhuo Buâer and the others felt their hair stand on end and a chill rise from the soles of their feet as if they had fallen into an ice cave!
âElder Li, donât get it wrong, weâre just here to watch you clean up this old bastard!â
âExactly, Elder Li, you donât know, this old bastard has been throwing his weight around, taking advantage of his seniority at the Artifact Sect. Weâve been longing for someone to take him down!â
âRight, if Elder Li doesnât believe us, we can collectively piss and shit on his head to show our sincerity!â
Twenty-one people, led by Zhuo Buâer, continued to humiliate Lu Sanqian non-stop, as if afraid that not humiliating him enough would bring about a fatal disaster.
Li Cheng and the Black and White Elders watched, dumbfounded. Damn, the Artifact Sect sure is ruthless!
Such humiliation of the Ancestor Master, arenât they afraid of being struck by lightning from the heavens?
This is nothing less than betrayal of master and ancestors!
Lu Sanqian was furious, yet helpless, and could only glare at Zhuo Buâer and the others with eyes full of splitting rage.
But those twenty-one people completely ignored Lu Sanqianâs glare.
Are you kidding? The guy who could blast away your Immortal Body with just three punchesâwho would dare to make an enemy of him and not value their own life?
âElder Lu, endure it for now. Weâre using strategy here. As long as we temporarily stabilize this bastard, the moment weâre out of the Secret Land, weâll activate the measures left by our ancestors and suppress him!â
As everyone cursed in anger, the sound transmission from the Tribulation Loose Immortal surfaced.
A flash of understanding crossed Lu Sanqianâs eyes, but his anger did not subside. No matter what, these juniors had humiliated him.
Clenching his teeth in secret, Lu Sanqian replied, âIâll endure!â
This sound transmission could not be concealed from Li Cheng and the other two.
Li Chengâs Spiritual Sense was strong, and although the Black and White Elders, who were sixteen-strike Loose Immortals, might not match Li Cheng in that aspect, they were certainly much stronger than the ten-strike Loose Immortal. How could they not hear it?
âAny of the top ten sects has countless methods left by their ancestors, capable of easily suppressing True Immortals. We need to think of something!â Black Elder sent a sound transmission.
âNo hurry!â Li Cheng replied, then used the Fist Path rule to punch through the Formation deep in the valley from a distance.
Whoosh!
As soon as the Formation was broken, a three-footed large tripod surged into the sky, and a young manâs roar emanated from within, âBastards of the Artifact Sect, Iâll annihilate your entire sect!â
âOh? This Artifact Spirit is quite strong! Almost as strong as Lu Sanqian.â Li Cheng was delighted.
The Black and White Eldersâ eyes widened as Black Elder said, âSenior Brother Wuya kept his cards close to the chest. We all thought he had obtained an ordinary Immortal-grade Artifact tripod. Who wouldâve thought the Artifact Spirit itself had the cultivation of a Heavenly Immortal!â
âIsnât that the truth? If the Artifact Spirit has cultivated to become a Heavenly Immortal, then this tripod and its original owner must be extraordinary!â Old Bai marveled.
Ordinary Artifact Spirits have no cultivation and depend on the artifact. Although they can propel the artifact, the power they can exert is limited.
An Artifact Spirit that has embarked on the path of cultivation is different.
Such spirits can even exist independent of the artifact, somewhat akin to Nascent Souls and Immortal Infants.
If they wish, they can even forge a flesh and blood body like a Loose Immortal! But thereâs no need for that since the artifact that gave birth to them is their body.
Li Cheng glanced at the Black and White Elders and said, âThe Astonished God Tripod, the tripod of Qi Jingshen, the number one Artifact Refining Master in the Immortal World.â
I myself heard about Qi Jingshen from Feng Wanli, so itâs normal that the Elders havenât heard of him.
âSo thatâs how it is, no wonder!â The Elders nodded in unison, with astonishment flashing in their eyes.
They began to understand why the Heavenly Immortal of the Artifact Sect was so possessive of the tripod.
In the meantime, the Astonished God Tripod seemed to have noticed everyone below and swiftly flew towards them, âBastards of the Artifact Sect, face your death!â
Black Elder chuckled, âThese guys still want to stabilize us and wait until weâre out of the Secret Land to trigger the protective power of their sect; it seems they wonât have the chance.â
A Heavenly Immortal-grade Artifact Spirit wielding an Immortal Artifact has a might that even surpasses cultivators of the same level using Immortal Artifacts; this time, we can enjoy the show!
However, Li Cheng furrowed his brows slightly, âThe three of us are the most powerful here; it seems to be particularly focused on us. Why do 1 feel like itâs charging straight for us three?â
âThatâs not right, the Artifact Spirit should recognize us three!â Old Bai said. Black Elder cleared his throat, âCould it be that when Senior Brother Wuya was around, the Artifact Spirit was in a dormant state and so it actually doesnât recognize us?â
