Chapter 451: One Finger Extinguishes

A gatekeeper? The little golden dragon was lost in thought.

"Reporting to the Venerable One, if you mean someone specifically for gatekeeping, then certainly not. But if you mean guarding some of the portals of the Central Great World, then there are indeed a few Immortal Gods involved in such duties."

"Venerable One, are you suggesting that this monster used to be a gatekeeper in the Heavenly Court?" the little golden dragon asked in surprise.

"You don't think so?" Li Heng raised an eyebrow and said.

The little golden dragon pondered for a moment, then spoke.

"It's not a question of whether it looks like it or not; it's mainly that I truly cannot think of any Immortal God who would mutate into such a monster, and its aura is also somewhat unfamiliar."

The two continued their conversation, not caring about the monster at all.

The monster had both its arms severed and roared in pain. Now, having suffered the insult of being ignored, it felt that these tiny living beings did not take it seriously at all, and it became even more furious.

Immediately, the flesh on its body began to squirm constantly, roaming around its frame, and finally gathered at the cross-sections of its severed arms, as if wanting to re-condense two giant claws.

"Do you think you can recognize every single Immortal God?"

Beside them, Shaoyang Jun suddenly added a sentence.

The little golden dragon shook its head.

"It's different. The Heavenly Court Immortal Gods all have their own unique auras. By relying on that unique aura, I can distinguish whether they are one of our own, but this monster does not have that kind of aura on it."

At this moment, the two giant claws re-condensed. In its fury, it swiped at Li Heng and the others once more. Wherever the giant claws passed, the Void shattered like a mirror, kicking up violent spatial turbulence.

This swipe was even more powerful than the previous one.

But Li Heng still did not care. He pointed his fingers like a sword, and a ray of light poured out, once again severing these two giant claws, which dripped black blood as they sank into the Heavenly Abyss.

Another series of angry roars of pain rang out.

Li Heng remained deaf to them and spoke calmly. "Auras can change; nothing can be Eternal."

Of course, what the little golden dragon said was not impossible, but one still needed to consider problems from all aspects.

"The Venerable One is right, that makes a lot of sense!"

The little golden dragon flicked its tail, hurriedly echoing the sentiment and flattering him.

Beside them, Shaoyang Jun felt speechless.

It was clear that it had just been arguing with him a moment ago.

They say the Dragon Clan has an innate pride and an unyielding reverse scale. But looking at it now, he hadn't seen any pride or any reverse scale. His beautiful impression of the Dragon Clan was shattered.

Li Heng ignored the flattering little golden dragon and looked at the monster. He discovered that the strength of this monster was rising bit by bit. Or rather, the angrier it got, the stronger its strength became.

It was just like a certain giant who was green both physically and mentally.

At this moment, the monster had re-condensed its two hands, and its scarlet eyes reflected tangible fury, wanting to crush Li Heng, this detestable little living being, to death.

"You really are tenacious. I've cut you three times, yet you still live."

Li Heng spoke indifferently, pointing his fingers like a sword.

A ray of light flashed past, and the two newly re-condensed giant claws were instantly severed, spilling black blood as massive as a waterfall.

But this did not stop there. After severing these two giant claws, the light continued to fly forward, aiming directly at the monster's head, the place of its origin.

The monster instinctively sensed a crisis of Life and Death and wanted to dive downward.

But the light was simply too fast, breaking through the flow of time and space; it could not be described by the speed of a single instant, but rather the result was already locked in, already struck!

At this moment, the result manifested.

The light struck the monster's head directly, easily breaking through the incomparably sturdy black scales like a knife cutting through tofu, splitting the entire head in two and exploding the origin deep within.

Instantly, the Source Power arrived.

It directly earned Li Heng fifty Golden Source Points!

Li Heng sensed it and was somewhat surprised.

One had to know that the Shengsheng Jushou was only worth fifty Golden Source Points. What right did this monster, which he had easily crushed, have to be worth fifty Golden Source Points?

Could it be because that Shengsheng Jushou was only a hand, not the entirety of the physical body, and was also a reflected product, so the Golden Source Points obtained were greatly discounted?

Li Heng thought it over and could only come to this one explanation.

As for the uniqueness of this monster, he hadn't seen it.

Except that its physical body was a bit stronger.

Of course, this "bit" was only for Li Heng. If it were for someone else, even another Half-step Divine, it would be "a billion bits" stronger.

The little golden dragon and Shaoyang Jun were stunned at the sight.

How should he put it? They hadn't expected Li Heng's movements to be so fast. This was a monster, yet it was so fragile, perishing in an instant. They had originally wanted to gain some confidence through this monster.

While they sighed in their hearts, Li Heng's expression remained calm, and he continued to look at the Heavenly Abyss as he spoke. "Have you seen enough? If you've seen enough, come out. It seems your connection with that physical monster really isn't that great."

"You, how did you know I wasn't dead!"

Ripples stirred in the Void above the Heavenly Abyss, and a faint, flickering phantom appeared once again. He looked at Li Heng in shock and spoke in horror.

It was simply unbelievable.

He had originally thought that this physical body of his was invincible in the world.

He hadn't expected that there would be someone even more fierce than this physical body.

It was a pity he had just made a harsh threat saying that he absolutely could not hurt his physical body, and even cursed him for not following the rules of martial arts. But now it seemed that he was the one who had lost face.

The other party had long since exceeded the boundary of following the rules of martial arts. Whether cutting the physical body or cutting his consciousness, the result was the same. It was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables; no choice needed!

"I knew you weren't dead, so I knew you weren't dead."

Li Heng spoke leisurely, saying a platitude.

He had cut that monster three times before killing it, so this phantom, as the monster's consciousness, clearly also had methods; how could it have been completely killed by a single cut?

Furthermore, he had not sensed the arrival of Source Power.

After this phantom was blasted by his cut, it had feigned death and secretly re-condensed, hiding in a corner of the surrounding Void. Did it really think he hadn't seen it? Did it really think others were fools?

The phantom's expression was ugly.

He felt that he was being manipulated in every aspect by this living being.

"So what if you know I am not dead? You cannot kill me!"

"As long as the Heavenly Abyss does not perish, I shall not perish!"

After thinking for a moment, he felt he had been too shameful before, so he simply threw out another harsh threat; this living being surely could not destroy the Heavenly Abyss, how could that be possible! He thought to himself.

"Then you are welcome to try, I shall strike you once more."

Li Heng spoke leisurely, his fingers beginning to press together to form a sword.

At this moment, Li Heng's momentum climbed to the peak, his Qi locking onto that phantom from afar; the phantom sensed its own situation and felt as if there was nowhere to escape, that it would face this strike whether it went to the heavens or the earth.

He began to panic a little.

What if this living being could truly ignore the connection between the Heavenly Abyss and himself? After all, even his immortal physical body had been slashed into nothingness.

He thought in a panic, and thus, following his heart, he spoke up loudly.

"Wait, wait, let us talk this over properly, let us talk properly!"

"Do you not want to know what has happened in the Central Great World?"
