Chapter 275: I Am Waiting for the Ultimate Move, You Are Waiting for Death

Li Heng did not stop his hand, continuing to press downward.

He was not some villain in a storybook novel who, upon encountering someone speaking or a protagonist unleashing their power, would act as if time had been paused and just stand there motionless.

"Stop!"

The voice rang out again, filled with anger.

Even though he had spoken, this person still did not stop; it was simply a total lack of respect! Instantly, Magic Qi surged, pouring out and filling the Void, clashing against Li Heng's palm.

Li Heng raised an eyebrow slightly and applied a little force.

Boom!

Accompanied by a massive explosion, the Magic Qi burst apart under the pressure of Li Heng's palm; it clearly could not withstand the might of his strike, but this did act as a buffer, weakening Li Heng's palm and allowing this Emperor to escape the shadow of his hand.

Immediately after, a figure appeared before Li Heng.

This figure was unstable, or rather, it had no fixed form; at times it turned into a human shape, at times into a beast shape, and at other times it became a mass of swirling black mist, hiding those scarlet eyes.

"Heavenly Demon," Li Heng said calmly.

"You naturally know who I am, so you should stop now."

The Heavenly Demon sneered.

"And why should I stop?" Li Heng countered.

The Heavenly Demon was stunned upon hearing this; did such a thing even need to be asked?

He was just about to mock Li Heng for asking the obvious.

At this moment, he saw that Great Ming Emperor hurriedly speak up.

"You've finally arrived! What about the others? This guy is not easy to deal with; he is related to the Reincarnation that appeared in the Present World!"

He hurriedly spilled the information about Li Heng.

The Heavenly Demon was startled upon hearing this and looked at Li Heng in surprise.

"You are actually related to the Reincarnation in Reality?"

"Interesting!"

The Heavenly Demon transformed into a mass of black mist, within which scarlet eyes blinked, shooting out a cold gaze as if carefully sizing Li Heng up, his heart growing increasingly grave.

He actually could not see through this person's cultivation! It seemed he would have to wait for those few others to arrive; he could not act rashly.

"Speak, what happened in the Present World? How did Heaven go missing, and who opened the Reincarnation? If you tell me one by one, I can choose not to hold your offense against you."

The Heavenly Demon said slowly.

Li Heng shook his head.

"What exactly gives you such confidence? I can crush three Heavenly Humans with one slap and make this fellow flee in panic, so take a guess—did I use my full strength just now?"

Facing Li Heng's half-smiling gaze, the Heavenly Demon was not afraid.

"Heh, don't lump me in with these Dead Remnants. My body is one with the Yin World Heaven and Earth, and since this place belongs to the Yin World, I can borrow the infinite power of the Yin World; you cannot defeat me."

The Heavenly Demon sneered, speaking with absolute certainty.

In his eyes, someone like the Great Ming Emperor, who had revived after death using a Forbidden Secret Technique, had long since offended Heaven and Earth—unaccepted by Heaven and unsupported by Earth—so how could he be considered a true Heavenly Human?

Listening to the two of them talk, that Emperor felt secret resentment.

Neither side treated him as a person.

"Then you are welcome to try," Li Heng replied calmly.

The Heavenly Demon suddenly started laughing upon hearing this.

"Heh heh, don't provoke me; I'm not stupid. You are stalling for time, but do you think I'm not stalling for time as well? This is already the territory of the Yin World; this is our turf!"

No sooner had the words fallen than three more monstrous auras approached.

The auras arrived in an instant, and three figures appeared.

They were none other than three Heavenly Human-level monsters and Weirds!

"Alright, everyone is here. Do you have anything else to say? You don't actually think you can defeat the four of us alone, do you?"

The Heavenly Demon laughed triumphantly.

"What is going on here?"

A Heavenly Demon from the Hanging Mountain frowned and asked.

That Great Ming Emperor was being hunted?

"This person was just hunting this Dead Remnant emperor, and he is also related to the Reincarnation of the Present World. I strongly suspect he knows many secrets; let us join forces and keep him here."

The Heavenly Demon let out a cackling laugh.

The three newly arrived Heavenly Human-level monsters and Weirds were startled upon hearing this.

Was this a case of "finding something after a long search, only to have it come without effort"? They had originally been wondering how they would go about investigating this so-called Reincarnation once they reached the Present World.

Who would have thought someone related to the Reincarnation would just pop up?

"Heavenly Demon, are you sure this is true?"

The one who looked like a merchant, the No. 10 Agent of Buying Life Money, said cautiously.

"Do you think this Dead Remnant emperor would dare to lie in this situation? If you don't believe it, you can go ask him yourself."

The Heavenly Demon replied dismissively.

The eyes of the three Heavenly Human-level monsters and Weirds flickered.

This Heavenly Demon was usually insidious and cunning; in the past, when they were breaking through their cultivation realms, this Heavenly Demon had even followed the connections in the dark to manifest as their Demon Tribulation, trying to ruin their cultivation.

Therefore, it was hard for them to trust him.

But this attitude... they began to ponder.

Soon, the Heavenly Weird from the Yellow Springs Road spoke up.

"What exactly is the Reincarnation of your Present World?"

He looked at Li Heng, unable to suppress the curiosity in his heart.

One knows one's own affairs best.

They at Huangquan Road do not know how many times they have attempted to establish Reincarnation, even borrowing the power of the Strange to open a passage between the Yin World and the Present World, luring souls over from the Present World to study.

Every time, the theoretical model estimated a very high success rate. But every attempt failed, as if some power was obstructing the establishment of Reincarnation.

But now, has Reincarnation been successfully established in the Present World?

He truly does not believe it.

He suspects even more that this is just playing god and acting like a ghost!

After all, in the environment of the Present World, where Yin Qi and Yang Qi are balanced, souls will gradually dissipate under the influence of the laws of Heaven and Earth; no matter how one looks at it, it does not seem like a place that could give birth to the Reincarnation of the Underworld.

"Why do you think I would say it? You were just chatting among yourselves, saying a whole lot, thinking you have me cornered?"

Li Heng asked with a smile.

"Otherwise?"

The Heavenly Demon asked back as a matter of course.

"Beings like us can borrow the power of the Yin World; could you possibly contend against the entire Yin World, the entire Heaven and Earth? If you truly had that kind of power, this Dead Remnant Emperor would have already died."

He manifested a finger.

Pointing at the Emperor beside him with an ugly expression, he sneered and said.

That agent of the Buying Life Money also spoke up.

"You should be grateful now that we considered you hold the secrets of Reincarnation, so we did not strike at you immediately; otherwise, your individual power would only be suppressed by our thunderous force."

These words had little fluctuation, merely a simple statement.

But the arrogance within them was overflowing.

In short, it was: how could one lose when riding a flying dragon into the enemy's face? It is impossible to lose.

"Stop talking nonsense. This guy was able to listen to our chatter for so long just now without making the slightest move to strike first or turn and run; he must be preparing some means."

"Strike first, seal the surrounding Void, then make plans."

That Heavenly Demon Beast of the Hanging Mountain spoke, and immediately his figure changed, manifesting his original form; it was actually a baleful, menacing demonic wolf. The demonic wolf stepped on the Void and looked up, howling long.

In an instant, the sound waves rippled through the surrounding Void.

Immediately following, a Cold Moon Dharma Image slowly emerged, illuminating the surrounding Void, manifesting the scene of the Heavenly Wolf Howling at the Moon, causing the Void to suddenly Town, strengthening spatial stability to prevent Li Heng from escaping.

Li Heng raised his eyebrows upon seeing this. Was the Cold Moon Dharma Image he saw back then this wolf's Dharma Aspect?

"You are still too cautious."

"But caution brings no great error."

The agent shook his head upon seeing this, but also intended to follow the wishes of this Heavenly Demon Beast; he flicked his palm toward the Void, and many Buying Life Money appeared out of thin air, drifting out and floating in the surrounding Void.

"Money can communicate with gods; I have bought this piece of Void."

He spoke calmly, and the Weird power of rules rippled out; those Buying Life Money instantly merged into the Void and disappeared, as if nothing had happened.

And the next moment, Li Heng felt himself being repelled by the Void.

"You should have felt it."

"I am now the master of this Void, so you cannot borrow the power of this Void," this agent said with a smile.

"Then I shall also use some small means; I hope you will not laugh at me."

That Heavenly Weird shook his head and spoke.

He waved his palm, and a coffin appeared in the Void; the coffin lid was lifted, and inside actually lay a person. This person's appearance was exactly the same as Li Heng's, and the aura was no different.

"Your future lies in this coffin."

The Heavenly Weird pointed at the Li Heng in the coffin and said.

"Heavenly Demon, what about your means?"

Believing they had Li Heng cornered, these three Heavenly Human-level demons and Weirds looked at the drifting Heavenly Demon beside them and asked.

"I used them long ago. Your means are so flashy and showy; they are not as hidden as mine at all. Rest assured, with me as the backup, this guy cannot run."

The Heavenly Demon laughed with a cackle.

"It is still better not to be too optimistic. I just looked, and this guy might just be a projection avatar, not the original body. Even if we keep him here, we might not get any benefits."

The agent said slowly.

"Heh, what time is it still to talk about projection avatars? You Buying Life Money are really good at hiding things. I remember your secret technique can track an avatar to its death along the lines of Causality; the original body would die all the same."

"Not to mention you still have that Buying Life Money original body."

The Heavenly Weird said disdainfully.

The agent's expression was wooden.

"You at Huangquan Road are not bad either; that coffin directly locked his fate inside it. Even if I do not use the Causality tracking technique, this coffin can curse his original body to death."

The two Weirds were exposing each other's bottom lines.

Li Heng here felt somewhat helpless.

This group of demons and Weirds in the Yin World looked very careless, talking among themselves without paying him any mind. But in reality, they were very cautious, having struck to seal the surrounding Void, completely cutting off the support of the Dharma Law of Reincarnation for him.

If nothing unexpected happens.

This projection avatar of his will die here.

"Cackle, you should be at your wit's end now."

The Heavenly Demon looked at the helpless-looking Li Heng.

"We will give you a choice now: obediently state all the information about the Present World, especially regarding the matter of Heaven's disappearance, and the truth about Reincarnation."

"This way we can let you die a quick death. If you are willing to yield and join our Yin World, we can guarantee to only kill your projection avatar and not kill your original body."

"Do not harbor any delusions that your original body can escape this catastrophe."

The Heavenly Demon pointed at those three Weird demon monsters.

"The methods of these three fellows are extremely strange; even if an immortal and indestructible true self were to be tainted by these Causality curse arts, they would have to shed a layer of skin even if they didn't die."

"You are not a Heavenly Demon; you do not possess the characteristic of being immortal and indestructible."

"So, you really will die."

The Heavenly Demon emitted a bewitching sound, wanting to penetrate deep into Li Heng's soul, pry open the weak points in Li Heng's heart, and thereby obtain all the information he wanted without a drop of blood being shed.

Upon hearing this, Li Heng scratched his head, appearing somewhat distressed.

"In a certain sense, I really am out of options."

He spread his hands and said with great helplessness.

"Then just say all the information you know. Since we are both at the Heavenly Human level, we can be considered fellow Daoists; why must we fight and kill, struggling until one of us dies?" The Heavenly Demon continued to bewitch.

"Stop wasting your breath on him."

"Don't you see he is playing you? Being so calm and composed, without the slightest panic, he must still possess a trump card to escape."

That Heavenly Demon whose true form was a magic wolf said calmly.

"I don't need this wolf to manage me; do you think I don't know that? Language is an art; what if this fellow Daoist is moved? Why fight and kill when we can sit down and talk?"

The Heavenly Demon felt somewhat annoyed upon hearing this and retorted.

"You're right, aren't you, fellow Daoist?"

He looked at Li Heng again and said with a smile.

"I think you all are very annoying; I have been waiting the whole time."

"I am waiting for my ultimate move, what are you waiting for? Waiting to die?"

Li Heng spoke, took a step forward, and his aura shook.

He was right about what he said just now; in a certain sense, he really was out of options. If one were to compare this World to a game, then a normal player would certainly be unable to deal with these Weird demon monsters.

But unfortunately, he is a cheater!

Originally, he still wanted to pretend to be a normal player. But alas, the difficulty of this game is truly beastly; playing it normally is simply suffering, making one "healed," so he could only start cheating again!

Sensing that his true self's power was online.

A Great Sun Dharma Image slowly emerged behind Li Heng.

"I will teach you silly dog some astronomical knowledge: the reason the moon shines is because it is reflecting the light of the Sun; even a grain of rice can emit brilliance?"

Accompanied by the sound of his words, the Great Sun Dharma Image bloomed with light.

Boundless light filled the surrounding Void.

The magic wolf's Cold Moon Dharma Image was instantly swallowed and covered by the light of the Great Sun, and even the Cold Moon Dharma Image itself was affected by the Great Sun Dharma Image, appearing distorted and blurred, like scenery reflected on a water surface whose integrity is destroyed by ripples.

The so-called suppression of the Void also collapsed on its own.

Li Heng threw a punch, unleashing the Heavenly Human Fist.

Infinite power erupted, and with a 'Crack!', the surrounding Void shattered as if it had been frozen, and the so-called Void repulsion suddenly subsided. So what if the Void was bought? Just tear it down.

Li Heng's thoughts shifted once more.

Beside that Heavenly Weird, the Li Heng who was in the coffin suddenly opened his eyes, stood up like a corpse coming back to life, and directly threw a punch at that Heavenly Weird.

In an instant, the Heavenly Weird's body exploded, and the coffin exploded!

"You are also worthy of locking and imprisoning the life fate of my true self?"

Li Heng's expression was contemptuous as he spoke.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye; by the time the crowd of Weird demon monsters reacted, the situation had already reversed, and their methods had actually been blasted apart and broken by this person one by one!

They had actually fallen into a disadvantageous position?!

"Heh heh, I guessed long ago that you were tricky!"

"In the end, it still depends on my, this demon's, methods."

That Heavenly Demon was the first to come to his senses and still laughed with a 'heh heh'.

"Heavenly Demon Soul Devouring, Fierce Evil Body Snatching! Let me, this demon, see who you really are and what secrets you are hiding."

The Heavenly Demon turned into a stream of light, disguised himself as Li Heng's Demon Tribulation, and along the dark connection, appeared in Li Heng's mind, within the Purple Mansion of the Primordial Spirit.

Then, he saw a brilliant Great Sun!

"Does it look good?" Li Heng smiled from the side.
