Chapter 432: After My Flowers Bloom, a Hundred Flowers Perish
The City Lord's expression was ugly. Another intruder had come?
Why did accidents happen so frequently? They didn't want him to win, did they!
He did not want to pay attention to this new intruder for the moment; he had to resolve the manager of this Wujian Inn before him first, otherwise, if an accident occurred, it would be troublesome.
When dealing with an existence that also possessed Wujian Authority, Wujian Power could not be used. But since he could become the City Lord, he still had strength, and he was confident he could completely crush this mere manager.
Massive Yin energy condensed into a giant hand, within which a World of Yin energy evolved, pressing down toward Li Heng with the crushing weight of a great World.
But suddenly.
That figure who had just intruded appeared before everyone. He stretched out a hand and directly crushed this World of Yin energy, helping Li Heng block this strike.
Immediately, the figure ignored everyone and looked straight at Li Heng.
"You are the one who killed the Heavenly Abyss old demon?"
The City Lord looked at this figure before him, this living person, his heart filled with extreme rage. He had not paid any mind to this intruder, yet this intruder had come to interfere with his good work? Simply damnable!
"Who are you, daring to interfere in this City Lord's affairs!"
He said gloomily.
However, that figure still ignored him.
Li Heng looked at the man before him, who was only one degree less handsome than himself, and raised an eyebrow slightly. "What Heavenly Abyss old demon?"
"The original manager of the Di-rank Wujian Inn."
"Oh, so that's who you mean; then I did indeed kill him."
Li Heng nodded, not hiding it.
"Then after you killed him, did you find anything, like remains or weapons?" Hearing Li Heng admit it, the man's eyes lit up, and he asked with some excitement.
"I have not seen any; after that manager died, he turned into Emptiness."
Li Heng answered calmly.
"Truly never seen them? Rest assured, I absolutely have no ill intent. As long as you tell me the relevant information, I will certainly have a reward, such as helping you deal with this dead man before you."
As the man spoke, he tilted his head to look at the City Lord.
"Heh."
The City Lord laughed out of extreme anger.
One after another, they didn't take him seriously, did they?
Even if you, this living person, are a supreme prodigy on the Emperor Road, so what? As long as you don't have Wujian Authority, then to me, you are nothing but a tiny ant!
"Wujian City Lord Order, suppress!"
He spoke in a cold voice, and the terrifying Wujian Power descended once more, transforming into a Knife Mountain, carrying the great power capable of shattering a great World as it suppressed toward this man.
The man looked up at this Knife Mountain and smiled lightly.
"Wujian is indeed powerful, but you are not Wujian."
As soon as his voice fell, the vast World behind the man also soared upward, meeting this Knife Mountain. The two collided fiercely, deadlocked in the Void, but neither could do anything to the other.
The City Lord was horrified. How could this be?
This person could actually resist Wujian Power?!
Li Heng narrowed his eyes as he watched this scene. He had actually discerned the truth; in reality, with the volume of this man's vast World, it was fundamentally insufficient to resist the Knife Mountain evolved from Wujian Power.
What was truly resisting the Knife Mountain,
was that faint, elusive Eternal Rhyme.
That Eternal Rhyme seemed to be the characteristic formed by the Nine Tribulations Heaven and Earth Great City, Jiangdu, having passed the Final Tribulation or being in the midst of it; in a certain sense, it also belonged to the power of the Creation Realm Above.
Only this kind of power could resist Wujian.
Of course, this did not mean that the man's wisp of Eternal Rhyme was on par with Wujian Power; it was just that the one wielding Wujian Power now was not Wujian itself, but merely this City Lord.
That was why Wujian appeared relatively weak.
The two God Dynasty Princesses nearby breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
It seemed there was no need for them to intervene.
The man before them was a supreme prodigy who had swept across the Emperor Road, reached the end of the Emperor Road, and was preparing to cross the Final Heavenly Moat; even their Divine Dynasty had to treat him with three parts courtesy.
For such a figure, resisting the City Lord was not a difficult task.
"Damnable, do you really want to offend Wujian for the sake of this person?"
The City Lord said angrily.
He truly could not understand; he was only dealing with a mere manager, so how had so many accidents occurred? Now there was even a powerhouse capable of rivaling Wujian Power coming forward to block him?
"Offended, so what?"
"He killed the Heavenly Abyss ancient demon, which is enough for me to lend a hand."
The man said indifferently.
"Heh, living people these days are truly one more arrogant than the last."
"But have you ever thought about why the Wujian Road and the Emperor Road are two sides of the same coin, and why people on the Emperor Road all have a common sense rule not to casually descend to the Wujian Road?"
The City Lord sneered.
"I have already swept across the Emperor Road, why fear these?"
The man smiled with disdain.
"A new generation that has forgotten Salvation is truly boasting shamelessly!"
"Wujian City Lord Order, Knife Mountain and Sea of Fire appear!"
The City Lord waved his sleeve, and more Wujian Power descended. A Sea of Fire appeared in the sky, forming the Knife Mountain and Sea of Fire Hell together with the Knife Mountain, twisting the Void, modifying Reality, and suppressing toward the man.
He had already seen that this man did not possess Wujian Authority.
That meant he could use Wujian Authority without any scruples to summon Wujian Power to deal with this person. In any case, being on the Wujian Road, Wujian Power was inexhaustible; it was his home turf!
He only needed to block the shopkeeper from summoning Wujian!
"Even if the losers who die on the Emperor Road can survive again, they are merely losers; even with powerful strength, they are vulnerable to a single blow."
"So-called Knife Mountain and so-called Sea of Fire? They are not as good as a single Calamity!"
The man sneered, the Eternal Great World Dharma Image he evolved vibrated, and endless Calamities surged forth; Heavenly Thunder struck down, earth fire erupted, and floods destroyed the world, as if it were about to destroy this Great World at any moment.
But the next moment.
Following the man's mental control, it met the Knife Mountain and Sea of Fire Hell brought forth by the Wujian City Lord; the two collided, Heavenly Thunder shattered the vengeful spirits in the hell, earth fire melted the Knife Mountain within, and the flood wiped out the infinite Sea of Fire.
Finally, the endless Calamities directly submerged the Knife Mountain and Sea of Fire Hell!
"The Wujian main body is here, and I fear it by three parts. But what are you! Just a slave of Wujian, yet you dare to clamor in front of me?" The man crossed his arms and sneered.
The Wujian City Lord was horrified in his heart; how could this be?
The Knife Mountain and Sea of Fire Hell evolved from Wujian Road symbolized a part of the iron rules of Wujian Road; how could such Terror-inducing means fail to do anything to this man?
Instead, it was swallowed and broken by him?
It was simply inconceivable.
What kind of realm was this man in? Could it be that he had already faintly surpassed the Creation Realm and was about to reach the Creation Realm Above!
The two watching God Dynasty Princesses were full of shock.
Advancing in the Creation Realm requires undergoing a tribulation, so there is even a joke that the Creation Realm is about creating a Calamity. But regardless, Calamities are something that beings in the Creation Realm must face; if they cannot pass, the best case is a regression in cultivation, and the worst case is death.
Therefore, many beings choose to gamble on avoiding the tribulation.
Dodge the Calamity and avoid the Calamity from striking.
When the Heavenly Tribulation descends and wants to shatter the world they created, they make the Heavenly Tribulation unable to find the world they created; when an Evil Demon invades and wants to corrupt the world they created, they avoid the gaze of the Evil Demon.
Anyway, as long as they dodge it, it is fine.
As long as they dodge a certain number of Calamities and time, under the induction of the mysterious Great Dao, their cultivation can rise to a higher level without having to clash head-on with the Calamity.
But this method is only a means used by ordinary people.
Using this method lacks courage, and the strength gained after advancing is very small. For a long time, those who advanced using this method were even labeled as Paper-Paste Creators.
A better way is to face the Calamity directly and carry through the Calamity.
Those who use this method are the true geniuses.
When the Heavenly Tribulation comes to strike, have no fear, and carry through it by force!
When an Evil Demon invades, slaughter them one by one, fearing nothing!
Especially the geniuses fighting on the Emperor Road; they not only face the Calamity directly, relying on themselves to carry through and survive the Calamity, but they also use the Calamity to temper themselves, enhance their foundation, and forge a supreme Dao foundation.
But no matter the method, the essence is to treat the Calamity as something opposite to oneself and resist it.
But the genius before them is different; he jumped out of this fence, not resisting the Calamity, but controlling the Calamity, mastering the Calamity, and using the Calamity as power.
This is the reason why the two God Dynasty Princesses were so shocked.
As God Dynasty Princesses, their vision is so high that they don't know how many geniuses they have seen. Some geniuses use the Heavenly Tribulation to temper themselves, and some even run directly above the Heavenly Tribulation to swallow the Heavenly Tribulation liquid in the thunder pool.
But they have never seen a genius who can control the Heavenly Tribulation and control the Calamity, yet the man before them did it!
They sighed in their hearts; he is worthy of being a supreme genius who can walk to the end of the Emperor Road and is about to cross the Final Heavenly Moat—truly full of Terror!
At the same time, they were also a little jealous of Li Heng.
After all, Li Heng killed this genius's enemy, the Heavenly Abyss Old Demon, and has a full favor to this genius; this level of favor and human sentiment cannot be exchanged for any genius treasures!
"Third Sister, why don't we win over this shopkeeper to join the Divine Dynasty? He has this genius's favor, and we can use him to connect with this genius."
"Hmm, Xiao Si, you are rarely smart for once; we indeed have to consider this."
The two began to talk secretly; in their words, they almost forgot the shop assistant next to them, Xiaojiu.
"Forget it, I won't waste time; I'll kill you first."
The man's expression was calm as he continued to speak.
He relied on his strength to forcibly enter Wujian Road; if he stayed too long, it would easily cause Wujian Road to repel him, or even be detected by the Wujian main body, so he must cut the Gordian knot. Get the important things done.
"You still want to kill me? Die!"
The Wujian City Lord was furious upon hearing this and shifted his target of hatred from Li Heng to this man. Wujian Power descended again, summoning a hell once more.
"Useless struggle!"
The man sneered, and the infinite Disaster in the Great World erupted again, almost in an instant, submerging and destroying the newly descended hell.
Subsequently, the Calamity rushed directly at this Wujian City Lord.
The Wujian City Lord's expression changed greatly, feeling a Life and Death crisis at hand; this time he could not care about his status as City Lord or the problem of being punished, and roared out.
"Please, Wujian, descend and Town this person!"
"Wujian cannot save you either."
"But it's just right; I mainly want to test if this so-called Wujian is as Terror-inducing as the rumors say."
The man sneered, showing no fear.
Subsequently, a Terror-inducing, invisible will descended, as if the high-and-mighty Heaven, which is above everything, were looking down at the human world, making everyone present feel a chill instantly.
"Intruder? You have overstepped; die."
Infinite Wujian Power emerged, condensing into a finger, directly pointing and shattering the Calamity that was about to submerge the Wujian City Lord, and then took advantage of the momentum to point and explode the Eternal Great World evolved by the man.
Boom!
Accompanied by the shattering of the world and a loud Boom, this supreme genius's expression changed suddenly, his face turned pale, and finally, he could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
That finger arrived in front of this supreme genius.
"Wujian cannot kill me either!"
The supreme genius roared, hurriedly setting up various defensive means in front of himself; one world after another evolved, forming layers upon layers of Infinite nesting world barriers, wanting to block Wujian.
However, this finger entered as if there were no one there.
The world, solid and radiating Eternal Luck, had no power to resist this finger; for every half-step it drew closer to this Faceless Heaven's Pride, vast swathes of the world shattered.
Finally, the world barrier shattered completely, and this Heaven's Pride, who had swept across the Emperor Road, walked to the end of the Emperor Road, and was about to cross the Final Heavenly Moat, faced imminent death.
The two God Dynasty Princesses were astonished.
How did things suddenly turn out like this?
Seeing this, the City Lord of Wujian laughed wildly, laughed loudly, laughed in rage, ha-ha-ha laughed! Now that the main body of Wujian had descended, everything he had done would be detected by Wujian, and he certainly could not escape punishment or even death.
But so what?
To have a supreme Heaven's Pride who had already reached the end of the Emperor Road be buried with him was, after all, not a bad thing!
Yet at this very moment, a sigh rang out.
"What a farce."
"Wujian, give me some face."
Li Heng had arrived before this Heaven's Pride at some unknown time; the Void before his eyes rippled, blocking the finger's advance.
He said with a calm expression.
