Chapter 326: Contract Erasure

The various Sages then focused their gazes into the Killing Array.

They could not help but be stunned.

It was nothing but Heavenly Weirds and Heavenly Demon-level monsters and Weirds!

Li Heng spoke calmly.

"These monsters and Weirds from the Yin World wanted to invade the Present World, but I happened to block them and set up a Killing Array here, intending to finish them all off."

The various Sages nodded; so that was it.

"May I ask how to address you, fellow Daoist?"

Looking at the monsters and Weirds scurrying about in panic within the Killing Array, the burly Kong Sheng stepped forward and smiled warmly.

"Li Heng," Li Heng replied.

These ten Sages of the Ancient Era were on the same level as him, so they were worthy of him stating his name; moreover, he had no need to hide his name, fearing no Causality curses.

"A good name. 'Heng' implies that which is constant and unchanging throughout the ages."

Kong Sheng nodded.

"You flatter me. What do you think of that copper coin?"

Li Heng smiled slightly, pointing at the Transformation Body of the Buying Life Money.

At this moment, the invisible chains produced by the Buying Life Money had already connected to all the Heavenly Weirds and Heavenly Demons, except for the Heavenly Demon, yet they were completely unaware of it.

The Heavenly Demon looked at the many Heavenly Weirds and Heavenly Demons staying near the Buying Life Money, hesitating in his heart: should he also run over there? But he always felt that running over would bring great danger and Great Terror.

Those Heavenly Weirds and Heavenly Demons were also very puzzled.

This old demon was usually very clever; it could be said that a Heavenly Demon would not sit under a dangerous wall, and he would run faster than anyone else the moment he encountered danger.

Yet now, he was actually still staying in place, enduring the might of the Killing Array head-on, and had not moved to their side to borrow the power of the Buying Life Money to resist the Killing Array.

Could this Heavenly Demon really be the mastermind behind the scenes?

Had he colluded with the powerhouses of the Present World to ambush them?

In an instant, their expressions grew increasingly hostile.

The incident had happened too suddenly just now, and they hadn't had time to attack the Heavenly Demon. But now, borrowing the power of the Buying Life Money's Transformation Body, they had caught their breath for a moment; it was time to deal with this Heavenly Demon!

The Heavenly Demon saw the expressions of the Heavenly Weirds and Heavenly Demons.

His heart skipped a beat, and he secretly thought it was bad.

This group of fellows had developed murderous intent toward him.

He secretly lamented in his heart: why hadn't the Venerable One appeared yet? Was he really going to let him die at the hands of this group of fellows, or be drowned in the Killing Array!

The crowd of Heavenly Weirds and Heavenly Demons had already erupted with momentum, pressing toward the Heavenly Demon, intending to extract the reason from this Heavenly Demon's mouth before killing him to vent the hatred in their hearts.

Only without the obstruction of the Heavenly Demon.

Could they break the Killing Array without any worries.

Seeing this, the Heavenly Demon was greatly alarmed; he gritted his teeth and shouted aloud.

"Wait, I'll say everything! This Killing Array is..."

He intended to reveal everything Li Heng had instructed him to do.

The Heavenly Demon had never had any loyalty to speak of, and since Li Heng didn't care about his life or death at this moment, he felt there was no need for him to be loyal to Li Heng; he would live for as long as he could.

As for the contract he had signed?

Dying from violating the contract was death.

Being torn to pieces by this group of fellows was also death.

One had to choose a way to die, right?

And so, he chose wrong.

Violating the contract he had signed with Li Heng led to a faster death.

Before the Heavenly Demon could speak the key information, he was judged by the Source Power Contract as having committed a serious leak, violating the will of his master, Li Heng, and the Erasure Power instantly descended upon the Heavenly Demon.

After a single instant, the Heavenly Demon was dead, reduced to dust and ashes.

The Sages of the Ancient Era outside the Killing Array were greatly shocked at the sight.

What kind of method was this? What kind of power?

They were all supreme powerhouses of the Ancient Era, their cultivation levels having already surpassed Heavenly Human and reached the Void Heaven. Therefore, although the might of the Great Sun and the might of the earth erupting within the Killing Array were formidable, they were still within their range of understanding and did not make them feel it was unfathomable.

But now.

The erasure suffered by the Heavenly Demon was something they could not understand at all.

There was no power, no fluctuation of rules.

Without any warning, he had died suddenly.

They cast their gazes toward the calm Li Heng beside them, seemingly wanting to get an answer from Li Heng's mouth.

Li Heng sensed the Source Power arriving in his mind and smiled enigmatically.

"Just a small trick, a punishment for those who violate the contract."

"Would you all like to sign a contract as well?"

Hearing this, the various Sages hurriedly declined and shook their heads.

Just kidding, they didn't want to end up like the Heavenly Demon; it was just that what level of contract could this possibly be, to possess such terrifying power?

Li Heng smiled slightly at the sight and didn't mind.

In any case, they would have to sign sooner or later; there was no rush.

"Fellow Daoist Li, I observe that while this Killing Array of yours is vast and exquisite, it cannot do anything to that copper coin. That copper coin seems to be borrowing the power of these Heavenly Demons and Heavenly Weirds, accumulating something."

Kong Sheng frowned and spoke in a deep voice.

He also could not see through this copper coin.

"Fishing, after all, requires waiting for the fish to grow a bit larger; otherwise, they are just fry, and what is there to eat?" Li Heng smiled slightly.

The various sages wore Weird expressions upon hearing this.

These were more than twenty Heavenly Weirds and Heavenly Demons; if they were to accidentally break through the Killing Array and then use some trump cards to escape, it would trigger a Great Tribulation for all living beings in the Present World.

Was this really just fishing?

However, they were merely guests, and guests follow the host's lead.

It was not their place to say much.

They only hoped that this fellow Daoist Li would not play himself into trouble.

They all vaguely sensed that the copper coin was not simple.

As time passed, the Heavenly Demons and Heavenly Weirds near the Buying Life Money remained safe and sound; they breathed a sigh of relief and began to discuss countermeasures, intending to destroy the Killing Array set up by Li Heng.

With the protection of the Buying Life Money, they had no worries about their lives.

But they all seemed not to realize.

The longer they stayed around the Buying Life Money, the more Illusionary and ethereal their forms became, as if their sense of True Reality was being stripped away. Meanwhile, that Transformation Body of the Buying Life Money became increasingly solid, its aura growing more Terror-filled and profound.

Until they discovered they could not move.

At this moment, a voice filled with resentment, coldness, and sounding like an Ominous Curse resounded throughout the Killing Array: "The transaction is complete; I have protected you for three sticks of incense, and what you must pay in return is your lives."

The Buying Life Money suddenly launched an attack, harvesting the lives of the various Heavenly Weirds and Heavenly Demons.

It intended to absorb all of their forms into its body.

Li Heng did not stop it; this had no impact on his interests.

In any case, this was merely absorption, not simple killing.

Source Power would not disappear or transfer out of thin air, so the Source Power possessed by these demons and Weirds would instead accumulate within the body of this Buying Life Money Transformation Body, making it more convenient for him to harvest.

Moreover, according to his understanding.

The Source Power possessed by a demon or Weird is not Absolute in its correlation to strength; sometimes, weak demons or Weirds may possess vast Source Power inconsistent with their strength due to their own unique nature.

If this Buying Life Money Transformation Body absorbed so many demons and Weirds and completed a special sublimation, perhaps he could obtain even more Source Power than by hunting them individually.

These Heavenly Weirds and Heavenly Demons had not the slightest power to resist.

They were directly absorbed completely by the Buying Life Money.

The Buying Life Money emitted a sound.

"Let me out, or die!"

Li Heng smiled slightly.

It seems it is time for the harvest.
