Chapter 211: Chapter 210 Retreat is the Best Option 1

Li Cheng no longer had any concerns from behind and faced the middle-aged man, who had achieved the complete stage of the Immortal King realm, without any fear.

He wasn’t necessarily sure he could defeat him but at least he had the means to protect himself.

“Arrogant! You’re merely a novice Immortal Monarch who relied on that Law Immortal Artifact to kill our Young Sect Master, right? But I am a complete Immortal King, nearly two major realms above you. Your Immortal Artifact cannot bridge the gap between our realms!” the middle-aged man snorted, approaching Li Cheng step by step.

Little did he know that for Li Cheng, killing an early-stage Immortal King was as easy as slaughtering chickens and dogs!

Furthermore, defense was not the forte of the Immortal Palace Master; his strength lay in attack.

In terms of attack, the Life and Death Demon Dragon Bow and the Arrow of Time were unparalleled, and with the Law field as support, they were invincible.

“Whether I’m arrogant or not, we’ll see after a try!”

No sooner had he spoken than Li Cheng had already activated his Law field, exerting his full power to establish a Gravity Field with the Earth Rules to suppress the middle-aged man.

The gravity, billions of times stronger than usual, was as unexpectedly crushing as ever.

Li Cheng had already taken out the Life and Death Demon Dragon Bow and the Arrow of Time, and forcefully drew the bow!

The middle-aged man’s expression shifted slightly. He hadn’t yet recovered from the shock of the Law field when the Arrow of Time struck, leaving him no chance to dodge!

Thud!

The Arrow of Time penetrated the middle-aged man’s chest. Although it didn’t explode his body, Li Cheng clearly sensed that the arrow had cut his lifespan by twelve thousand years!

For a complete Immortal King, such a loss in lifespan might not be much, but the sudden loss of so much lifespan was bound to cause temporary weakness! Everything happened too quickly, and in one fell swoop, the middle-aged man had lost the initiative. He was now desperately circulating his Immortal Yuan to resist the pressure of the Law field, while a gleaming golden armor appeared on his body!

But he found that even with his full power circulating Immortal Yuan, he could not stop the bleeding from his wound, as copious Laws of Death prevented healing.

“Too late!”

Li Cheng looked indifferent as he changed the direction of gravity to appear above the middle-aged man’s head!

The middle-aged man staggered, hurriedly flipping his body to face head­down, feet-up against the gravity, but it suddenly dissipated, making him shoot upward uncontrollably as if he had overexerted himself.

Seizing the opportunity, Li Cheng had already retrieved the Arrow of Time and drew the bow again!

Just as the middle-aged man was weak and unstable, the Arrow of Time shattered his protective Immortal Yuan and exploded his head with a single shot!

“Again!”

Another arrow arrived in an instant, aiming straight for the middle-aged man’s Dantian!

With no other choice, the middle-aged man had to flee using his Immortal Infant, abandoning his body completely.

Thud!

The Arrow of Time pierced through the Immortal Armor, nearly obliterating the middle-aged man’s headless body; in the Law field, only his Immortal Infant remained.

But without the protection of a body, the Immortal Infant was extremely fragile, utterly immobilized within the Gravity Field!

Li Cheng did not hesitate, sweeping the Immortal Infant with the Rule of Fire within the Domain.

“No! You can’t kill me!” the middle-aged man despaired completely!

How could he have imagined that on the brink of entering the Immortal Venerable Realm, he would have no power to resist in the hands of an Immortal Monarch?

Indeed, there were always higher skies beyond the skies, and there were always people beyond people. To think that an Immortal Monarch possessed a Law field!

Moreover, the Earth Rules and Rule of Fire within this Law field were terrifyingly numerous, and he was certain that ordinary Immortal Emperors couldn’t possibly have such a powerful Law field.

Apart from the domain, that bow and arrow were also exceptionally strong, they were definitely Immortal Artifacts governed by Laws!

Realizing this, the middle-aged man felt an immense bitterness in his heart, it was a well-deserved loss!

As his consciousness blurred, the middle-aged man fell into complete despair! Li Cheng put away the Immortal Infants and the spoils of war, now having two Immortal King level Immortal Infants in his hand, one of which was even close to an Immortal Venerable. Once refined, he could at least ascend to the peak of Immortal Monarch or even reach completion.

However, this battle made Li Cheng realize that he had too few techniques at his disposal!

If he had learned a few bow skills, why would three arrows be necessary? Perhaps one would have been enough to slay the man.

After returning the village to its original place, Li Cheng quickly left, using the Immortal Spirit Step, for after all, killing two Immortal Kings from the Mysterious Profound Sect, including one who was the Young Sect Master, would undoubtedly lead to relentless pursuit from the sect.

Li Cheng had no idea just how powerful the Mysterious Profound Sect was; a confrontation with an Immortal Emperor would be disastrous.

Thus, retreat was the best strategy.

Li Cheng raced towards the direction the remaining green arrow pointed, intending to seclude himself for cultivation and refine the two Immortal Infants once it was safe enough.

[The disciple that meets the criteria is 230 million li away!]

Hearing the prompt, Li Cheng ran nearly two thousand steps in one breath, arriving at the area where this qualifying disciple was located.

Ahead was a city sprawling for tens of thousands of li, with the aura of over ten thousand immortals within!

“South Mysterious City, could it be the main city of the South Mysterious Territory?”

Looking at the plaque above the city gate, Li Cheng grew curious. The South Mysterious Territory was one of the many territories in Central Continent, with eighteen prefectures under its jurisdiction, each governing over a hundred domains—the scope was extremely vast.

Most importantly, this South Mysterious City was a rare sight because it was inhabited by both humans and immortals-and the number of immortals was exceptionally high.

Many immortals were concentrated in the central area of the Inner City, which was primarily occupied by cultivators, with few mortals.

The green arrow pointed towards the Outer City, where mortals were in abundance.

Within his Immortal Sense, Li Cheng could clearly see that the one indicated by the arrow was a young constable!

Upon reaching the Outer City, Li Cheng didn’t rush to find the constable but instead rented a small courtyard in an inn for a year, where he began his secluded cultivation.

Time passed day by day within the Immortal Palace; after a year, Li Cheng awoke, sent Gu Bikong’s siblings out of the Immortal Palace to gain experience on their own, and continued his seclusion.

The siblings’ cultivation was still low and not suited for extended periods of seclusion; they needed more experience.

Three months passed in the outside world, and Li Cheng had finally refined the Immortal Infants, reaching the peak of Immortal Monarch!

Plundering others’ fruits of labor, the advancement in cultivation indeed is astonishingly fast,” Li Cheng marveled in silence.

“Others cultivated for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years to attain Immortal King cultivation. With such a foundation, of course, it’s fast,” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan commented.

“But no one can keep improving their cultivation only through others’

Immortal Infants, a principle you understand.”

Li Cheng smiled, indeed it was true. Cultivation had to match one’s state of mind and understanding of the laws, among other things, and had to develop concurrently or risk deviating into madness.

But Li Cheng, having realized more laws than a typical Immortal Emperor and possessing both Immortal Sense and a physical body strengthened by the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture, could rely on refining Immortal Infants all the way to the Immortal Emperor Realm.

Once at the Immortal Emperor Realm, refining Immortal Infants would become pointless; at that time, what was needed was the continuous accumulation of laws.

From Li Cheng’s smile, Immortal Emperor Tianyuan could evidently guess what Li Cheng was thinking and shook his head, “Your constant enlightenment and your powerful Immortal Sense make it so that there are no limits to refining Immortal Infants, but that still violates the harmony of heaven, so take it easy, will you?”

Li Cheng shrugged. “Are you afraid I’ll become addicted and fall into the way of evil?”

“No, survival of the fittest is very normal, but have you considered how long it’s been, or how many minor realms you haven’t advanced in the number of laws?”
