Chapter 392: Still Invincible in the World

~8 min read 1,475 words

Li Heng took out the Bronze Ancient Mirror from inside the Mysterious Ancient Residence, undid the seal he had previously placed upon it, allowed the Space Altar within the mirror to be revealed, and then began to communicate.

A place of inexplicable gloom.

The eyes that had originally been silent in the darkness lit up once again, still somewhat puzzled. What was going on? Why had the old home, which had lost contact some time ago, suddenly established a connection now?

Could it be that someone was contacting her?

Come to think of it, she had not been home for a long time.

After a brief moment of thought, she decided to follow the connection to see what exactly was going on. If she could connect to the Yin World, perhaps she would still have a chance to return home.

After all, although this place was full of opportunities, it was too dangerous. Even though she had already achieved Transcendence of Heaven and Earth, she still had to keep her head down.

And so.

A flickering phantom appeared before Li Heng.

As he had expected, by undoing the seal on this Space Altar, it was highly likely that the original owner of the Mysterious Ancient Residence would make contact.

"You are..."

The phantom frowned, looking around and gazing at Li Heng in confusion.

"This is actually a location of a Rift, not the Yin World? But it seems you are the successor to my house; your aptitude looks decent. By the way, how is the Yin World now?"

The phantom spoke calmly, somewhat condescendingly.

"The Yin World, good question; the Yin World was destroyed by me."

Li Heng answered with a faint smile.

The phantom was stunned.

Destroyed? How could that be?

That was a true Heaven and Earth; even as she was now, she did not have the ability to completely destroy the Yin World, at most she could only severely damage it. How could the person before her possibly manage that?

The phantom let out a cold snort.

"Do you know who I am? How dare you lie to deceive me?"

"Merely the original owner of this Ancient Residence."

Li Heng moved his mind and raised his hand in a beckoning gesture; the Mysterious Ancient Residence rapidly shrank and flew into his hand, bobbing up and down like an exquisite model.

"Since you know this, you should be clear about my prestige."

The phantom said indifferently.

"Where is my Butler? Call him out."

"The successor he chose is actually such a rude person? I originally saw that your aptitude was good and your appearance peerless, and I wanted to take you as my disciple, but now it seems there is no need."

"Your Butler?"

"You mean those resentful humanoids? I slaughtered them."

Li Heng continued to smile.

The phantom's expression sank instantly.

She immediately realized that the person before her was definitely not her successor, but a fellow who had seized the property she left behind in the Yin World—a crime deserving of death!

At this moment, she also understood everything.

No wonder she had sensed the connection to this Ancient Residence was severed back then; it must have been the work of this person. Now that this person had contacted her, it was likely because their strength had grown and they thought they had the upper hand.

But how foolish was such a thought?

She was no longer in the Void Heaven Realm, but the Void Dao Realm above the Void Heaven Realm! And such a realm could not be nurtured by small ponds like the Present World or the Yin World, so this person was at most in the Void Heaven Realm.

Void Heaven Realm against Void Dao Realm—how could they have the upper hand?

It was nothing more than the narrow-minded view of a frog at the bottom of a well.

Although she was not doing particularly well, she felt a sense of superiority at this moment; after all, they were ultimately just a native of one Heaven and Earth, so how could they be mentioned in the same breath as her, who had achieved Transcendence of Heaven and Earth?

"Truly a bold and reckless outlaw."

Therefore, rarely, she did not get angry and remained condescending. After all, in her eyes, Li Heng was nothing but an ant; who would get angry at an ant? That would not be a normal person.

"Although this body is but a phantom, it is still invincible in the world. Since you are so arrogant and bold, then die."

The power of her true self projected across the vast Void, and the phantom immediately pressed her palm down toward Li Heng, intending to crush Li Heng to death with one strike, not wanting to waste time on this bold and reckless outlaw.

Then.

Just as she had pressed halfway down, she discovered that she could not move.

"Such a temper is not good."

Li Heng shook his head with a smile.

The phantom was bewildered.

This should not be; a mere native still trapped within Heaven and Earth, an ant like a frog at the bottom of a well, how could they restrict her actions, even if this was only a phantom?

She hurriedly tried to erupt with power again, doubling the power of her true self, and once again crossed the vast Void, wanting to undo Li Heng's imprisonment. However, it was still to no avail.

At this moment, she finally realized.

No wonder this person was so confident, opening the shielding of the Ancient Residence; it seemed they indeed had some means. However, she gave a cold smile, looking at Li Heng. "So what if you have imprisoned me? Even if you kill my phantom, my true self remains unaffected."

"As for this Ancient Residence, take it if you want; it was only an object from my weak period anyway, not worth mentioning at all!"

"On the contrary, you are so rude; upon meeting your superior, you do not bow, but instead attack your superior. Your true life is lost, and you have brought great disaster upon yourself! When my true self returns in the future, I will surely make you die without a burial place!"

The phantom hurriedly spouted a long string of threats, refusing to let herself fall into a disadvantageous position. Of course, she was also a bit embarrassed in her heart; after all, a dignified existence of the Void Dao Realm could actually be imprisoned?

It was somewhat shameful.

So she made up her mind that she must return as soon as possible to wipe out this reckless outlaw, preventing others from knowing about these things and then mocking her.

Li Heng smiled dismissively.

"Why go to such trouble? Now that I have opened the restrictions on that Space Altar, your true self can simply return along this altar and then come to suppress me, this bold and reckless outlaw."

The phantom was stunned; was this person really that arrogant?

Seeing the phantom remain silent, Li Heng raised an eyebrow slightly.

"What is it? Are you afraid? Afraid that I might have tampered with the Space Altar? Don't you consider yourself superior? Why would you be afraid of tricks played by a 'weakling' like me?"

Li Heng smiled leisurely.

The phantom let out a cold snort.

She was naturally not afraid.

As someone in the Void Dao Realm, she possessed an all-encompassing suppression over the Void Heaven Realm; if she could not detect and remove any tricks on the Space Altar, then there would be no point in her remaining in the Void Dao Realm.

"Do you really think I can't see the tricks you've played?"

The phantom cast her gaze toward the Space Altar, then instantly fell silent. Because she discovered that this Space Altar seemingly truly had no tricks, and was exactly the same as the one she had originally set up.

Was she stunned? How could this be possible?

In her eyes, Li Heng was a person of deep schemes; he had even cut off the connection between the Ancient Residence and her some time ago, only restoring it just now, so surely this person must have buried all sorts of traps.

And the Space Altar was very suitable for doing such things.

Yet looking at it now, there were none?

Or was it that she could not detect them?

But that shouldn't be; she was, after all, in the Void Dao Realm.

The phantom, who had been pitting her wits against thin air, was suddenly in disarray.

What on earth was going on?

Seeing the phantom hesitate, Li Heng grew impatient. Just then, he was about to resolve the spacetime coordinates of the phantom's true self, so he urged her, speaking up.

"If you don't dare to come over, then I will go over."
