Chapter 417: Who Doesn't Use Cheats? (1/3)

Li Heng flew into the air, immeasurable light behind him, and his Great Sun Dharma Image emerged, like the source of light in the world, illuminating this Time-Space Basin and standing in opposition to the Dragon Corpse monster that was pursuing him closely.

The Dragon Corpse monster let out a roar.

These tiny living beings, ants. It was one thing to disturb its slumber. Now that it wanted to swallow them in one bite, they were actually unwilling, and even wanted to run away.

And now they had even sent another ant to block it?

It felt provoked.

A terrifying, gray, decaying aura erupted and washed toward Li Heng. Wherever the aura passed, space was twisted, time was corroded, and it was directly alienated into an indescribable hotbed.

Dense clusters of tumors grew on the hotbed.

The tumors burst instantly, spilling out a mixture of blood-red and green plasma from within, and one after another, twisted or claw-wielding indescribable monsters were birthed.

The Dragon Corpse, accompanied by this sky-filling mass of monsters, lunged at Li Heng.

In an instant, everyone on the Light of Time Treasure Ship felt their scalps go numb.

They had not expected this Dragon Corpse monster to have such a trick; it had instantly birthed an army of monsters, and among them were even a few monsters of the Creation Realm.

It could be said that for a head-on confrontation, this Dragon Corpse did not even need to make a move itself.

This instantly birthed army of monsters was enough to overwhelm them!

They felt terrified in their hearts, and a sense of heavy worry arose.

In this situation, does this Fellow Daoist Li really have a way?

Wu Wushuang frowned with worry, and she had no confidence in her heart.

However, at this moment, Li Heng's eyes lit up, and he was very happy. So this Dragon Corpse had such means; he should have said so earlier, he should have brought it out sooner—this was all Source Power lost to the outside!

He immediately erupted the light of his Great Sun Dharma Image to shine upon these monsters.

Under that infinitely scorching light, which also contained the supreme concept of the Great Sun, the monsters lunging at Li Heng began to melt and dissipate; half of them were already gone before they could even get close to Li Heng.

Feeling the surging Source Power, Li Heng felt joyful in his heart, and then he manifested another type of Dharma Aspect: the Boundless Earth descended!

Upon the vast Time-Space River, amidst the hazy mist, a boundless and infinite earth slowly emerged, radiating the rhyme of the Great Dao that was boundless, ancient, and eternal!

Infinite pressure was applied to these monsters, and by utilizing the power of the Boundless Earth to rotate the Life and Death of the heavens and bury everything, in coordination with the Great Sun Dharma Image, he wiped out this army of monsters in one fell swoop.

In an instant, this army of monsters was completely annihilated!

Li Heng's Golden Source Points rose by thirty-five directly!

Even his Source Power increased by as much as ten thousand trillion.

The people on the Light of Time Treasure Ship were horrified and dumbfounded at the sight.

What kind of power is this? What kind of strength? What kind of realm?

An army of monsters sufficient to overwhelm them all was directly wiped out by this Fellow Daoist Li Heng in one blow? Is this a joke? Or are they dreaming?

Even the Prince of Qi, who thought he had everything under control, was stunned.

He had indeed thought that Li Heng was very powerful.

But the scene displayed now still shocked him.

What realm is this exactly? Sixth Tribulation, Seventh Tribulation? It seems like more than that, right? This seems to be power even stronger than the Eight Tribulations Heaven and Earth! But Li Heng clearly does not have the aura of the Eight Tribulations Heaven and Earth, nor does he have the unique characteristics of the Ninth Tribulation Heaven and Earth level.

The Prince of Qi could not fathom it at all.

The Great Zhou Empress Wu Wushuang stood at the bow of the Light of Time Treasure Ship. Watching this scene before her, she took a deep breath to calm herself, her expression incomparably complex.

She recalled the bragging words Li Heng had said to her back then.

Saying that he could really solve this Dragon Corpse monster.

But looking at it now, how is this bragging?

It was clearly just Reality.

When Li Heng wiped out that army of monsters, he had included the Dragon Corpse monster as well; the Dragon Corpse monster could not react in time and was hit squarely, roaring in pain as it flew in disarray through the air.

However, this did not seem to cause too much damage.

The Dragon Corpse monster quickly recovered, staring at Li Heng, its own momentum climbing step by step, roaring as if angry that this ant, Li Heng, could hurt it.

The gray, decaying aura erupted again, directly shrouding the surroundings.

The Dragon Corpse monster shuttled through this gray, decaying aura, seemingly accumulating something. Then, the next moment, its entire body charged straight out, carrying that gray, decaying aura as it attacked Li Heng.

Li Heng was somewhat disappointed to see this.

The Dragon Corpse is no good; was it already "kidney-deficient" after just that one hit?

He had thought it could birth more of an army of monsters.

It seems that is all there is to it?

Facing the Dragon Corpse monster attacking him with all its might, the phantom of the Thirty-Six Heavens appeared behind Li Heng, and he likewise erupted with his full strength, condensing a platform engraved with Great Dao Runes.

And on the platform stood a guillotine.

"As a True Dragon, even if it is only a Dragon Corpse."

"How can you not pay a visit to the Dragon-Slaying Platform?"

Li Heng smiled leisurely.

"On the Dragon-Slaying Platform, a dragon must be slain!"

In an instant, the Dragon-Slaying Platform grew in the wind, meeting the incoming Dragon Corpse; the Dragon Corpse could not dodge in time and was instantly trapped within it, entering the Dragon-Slaying Platform.

The Dragon Corpse felt a great crisis and roared, its gray, decaying aura erupting in an attempt to corrode the Dragon-Slaying Platform, while its body constantly slammed against the surroundings of the Dragon-Slaying Platform, yet the Dragon-Slaying Platform did not move in the slightest.

Li Heng stood in the Void, his figure majestic, like a God King of the Nine Heavens.

Then he spoke indifferently, "Slay!"

The strange power of the Dragon-Slaying Platform manifested within; the dragon head of this Dragon Corpse immediately fell beneath the Zhanlong Zadao, the Great Dao Runes on the Zhanlong Zadao flickering, and then, the blade fell!

It was just like cutting tofu.

The dragon head of the Dragon Corpse fell instantly!

The people on the Light of Time Treasure Ship were completely stunned.

Was this Dragon Corpse monster really dealt with so easily?

Although they were shocked by the power Li Heng had just displayed, they also knew that this Dragon Corpse monster was incomparably Terror-inducing; even if Li Heng could truly resolve it, it would surely involve a world-shaking battle, and it would likely end in mutual destruction.

They never expected it to end so quickly.

And it was a one-sided crushing victory at that.

Li Heng crushed the Dragon Corpse monster!

At this very moment, everyone felt a bit uneasy in their hearts. Especially the Great Zhou Empress Wu Wushuang; she did not know whether to be happy or sad.

She was happy that the Dragon Corpse monster had been resolved. But she was sad because didn't this make them seem completely useless? Li Heng could resolve it all by himself.

Then what did her meticulously prepared plan even count for?

At this time, Zhou Mingyi suddenly spoke up, sounding very rational.

"Do not be happy too soon; this Dragon Corpse is not simple!"

The next moment, the body of the Dragon Corpse monster, which should have been completely dead, suddenly began to writhe, and the gray, decaying aura within its body erupted inexplicably, wrapping around its entire body to form a small ball of mist.

Was it seemingly gestating something?

Suddenly, a pair of blood-colored eyes lit up within the mist.

A Terror-inducing aura erupted once again.

Even separated by the restrictions of the Dragon-Slaying Platform, the people on the Light of Time Treasure Ship could perceive the terrifying rise in the aura of this gray, decaying mist, which made their hearts jump and even filled them with horror.

It was even stronger than the previous Dragon Corpse.

It was continuously rising toward the level of the Nine Tribulations Heaven and Earth.

Li Heng's expression remained calm, though he frowned slightly, feeling it was a bit troublesome. The mist formed by the eruption of this gray, decaying aura was clearly a brand-new power of Calamity, with an extremely high essence, and it was also the core that turned this Dragon Corpse into a monster.

Now that he had hacked this Dragon Corpse apart.

It was equivalent to exposing this core.

Of course, in layman's terms, this was actually the boss's second phase.

It was just that this second phase was a bit heaven-defying.

If in a game, a boss's second phase merely changes the attack pattern, adds a buff to the boss, and increases its attack and defense.

Then this second phase before them was straight-up cheating.

It had activated an invincibility cheat.

Li Heng could clearly perceive that because the essence of this brand-new power of Calamity was extremely high, even if he used his full strength, he could not touch even half of this power of Calamity.

The gap in essence was truly difficult to bridge.

But fortunately, he was also a cheater; just because his own power could not erase the power of Calamity did not mean Source Power could not. You activated an invincibility cheat, so I can activate another cheat to counter your invincibility.

However, at this time, Zhou Mingyi had already suggested they run away.

"Your Majesty, let us flee."

Zhou Mingyi looked at Wu Wushuang with a grave expression.

"Why is that?"

Wu Wushuang asked in astonishment; at this moment, she couldn't be bothered to dwell on why Zhou Mingyi's words were so rational and no longer insane.

"Because although Fellow Daoist Li is strong, he cannot beat this Dragon monster! My highest estimate for Fellow Daoist Li is the Nine Tribulations Heaven and Earth..."

Before Zhou Mingyi could finish, Wu Wushuang interrupted him and spoke.

"But even if this monster improves, it is only at the Nine Tribulations Heaven and Earth level; even so, at most it would be evenly matched with Fellow Daoist Li, so why should we run?"

The people beside them also nodded.

Although the monster's improvement just now was terrifying, it was still in the intermediate level between the Eight Tribulations Heaven and Earth and the Nine Tribulations Heaven and Earth; even if it succeeded in its final improvement, it would stop at the Nine Tribulations Heaven and Earth, right?

Could it possibly soar to the Creation Realm Above?

However, Zhou Mingyi's answer made them feel as if they were sitting in an ice cellar.

"But this monster is not merely at the Nine Tribulations Heaven and Earth; the power it is erupting now already involves the level of the Creation Realm Above. Even if Fellow Daoist Li can suppress this monster, he cannot kill it."

"And that is the most optimistic guess."

"In fact, once this monster uses the power of the Creation Realm Above, Fellow Daoist Li will only face defeat and death."

Zhou Mingyi said in horror.

He was actually very surprised by this result; he never expected that a mere monster at the peak of the Eight Tribulations Heaven and Earth would possess the pure power of Calamity representing the Creation Realm Above.

The Second Brother is truly a disaster! he cursed inwardly.

"But that monster is clearly about to die."

Amidst the silence of the crowd, Zhou Mingyi suddenly pointed his finger toward Li Heng and spoke.

The crowd was startled and looked over there.

At this moment, Li Heng was using Source Power to continuously erase this brand-new power of Calamity. No matter how powerful or high-essence this power of Calamity was, it was as fragile as sand before this Source Power.

Sensing the crisis, those blood-colored eyes wanted to intervene.

But unfortunately, it did not have the qualifications.

Regardless of whether it had successfully gestated or not.

If it, as the power of Calamity, was equivalent to a high-dimensional player, it could step in itself when the character it controlled lost, and by relying on high-dimensional characteristics, beat that character up.

Then Li Heng's Source Power was something that pierced through all dimensions.

Whatever player, whatever high-dimension, he would beat them all the same.

Li Heng was happy in his heart; he discovered that there was still profit to be made.

Although using Source Power to erase the power of Calamity seemed somewhat extravagant, for every bit of Calamity power erased, the Source Power fed back was more than what was consumed.

Not long after, he had gained another ten thousand trillion in Source Power.

The mist formed by the gray, decaying aura gradually grew smaller, and those bright, blood-colored eyes also gradually dimmed, finally fading away completely until they vanished.

Seeing this scene, the people on the Light of Time Treasure Ship were stunned.
