Chapter 555: Even the Sacred Can Grow Mushrooms

"Fellow Daoist Li, if you have any trump cards left, you had better use them now, lest you die with regrets later."

Seeing Li Heng easily restrained by him, his entire cultivation base sealed, and left to wait obediently on the altar as a sacrifice, Xuelianzi felt a slight surge of arrogance and laughed aloud.

Li Heng revealed a look of confusion.

"Fellow Daoist Xuelianzi, why do you say that? Didn't you say that becoming a sacrifice doesn't necessarily mean death? How is it that in your words now, I am doomed to die?"

Hearing this question, Xuelianzi was stunned, then immediately became angry from embarrassment. "You, Li Daoren, things have reached this point, yet you are still so arrogant? You are actually still thinking of turning the tables? Your entire cultivation base is sealed, what will you use to turn the tables!"

He truly could not understand why Li Heng was so calm.

Feeling uneasy in his heart, he mocked him while rapidly performing the ritual, determined to sacrifice Li Heng at the first opportunity to prevent any accidents.

An intangible, strange power descended from the firmament, and as if it had life, it coiled incessantly around Li Heng, like a venomous snake constantly flicking its tongue, making one's heart turn cold.

Cold, slimy...

This was the first impression this strange power gave Li Heng.

He perceived that this strange power could ignore his resistance, invade his body, and begin to corrode everything within him, either decomposing it or corrupting it.

But regardless of the result, the outcome would not be good.

Li Heng sighed.

"Fellow Daoist Xuelianzi, it is a pity I trusted you so much. I didn't expect that from beginning to end, you haven't said a single true word. You make things very difficult for me; I actually quite appreciated you."

Xuelianzi felt even more annoyed.

Now that he was a prisoner, a sacrifice, how could he still evaluate him so calmly? It was as if he were the prisoner, and Li Heng were looking down on him from above.

However, he also knew the example of dying from talking too much.

So at this moment, he stopped replying, wholeheartedly presiding over the ritual, no longer wanting to explain anything to Li Heng.

Naturally, becoming a sacrifice did not necessarily mean death, but the probability was less than one in a million. Moreover, even if one could survive in the end, it would no longer be the original self.

"Fellow Daoist Xuelianzi, speak up. You don't dare to admit what you've done, right?" Li Heng still wore a smile on his face.

He looked up at the sky, surveying this object of the three phases of Fu, Lu, and Shou from a high-dimensional perspective. Lu Mountain did not move, the Longevity Tree did not sway, and the Supreme Fortune Star did not shine. He did not discover any major movements; it seemed they had truly ignored him, treating him as an ordinary Sacred.

Li Heng could not help but shake his head and sigh.

It seemed the information left behind by the Heavenly Emperor was correct; these Three Elders were cautious by nature and were accustomed to hiding behind the scenes, not standing out front like typical martial factions.

To see the King of Hell, one must first deal with the little ghosts.

He sensed the situation inside his body.

It was very bad; it had been occupied by that strange power, and even his cultivation base was mixed with it. Theoretically, he could not turn the tables. However, this was not his true self, merely the body of a red-haired monster.

"Fellow Daoist Xuelianzi, I gave you a chance."

Li Heng spoke calmly, and across the remote space-time, he began to channel the power of his true self. Although this place was a bit far from the Xianshi Tiandi, for his true self, who was already an invincible hegemon among the Sacred, this was merely a trivial matter.

Is cheating really such an inconvenient thing?

"If you have any trump cards, just use them!"

Hearing this, Xuelianzi sneered, acting as if he did not care at all.

But for some reason, he could not figure out why his heart tightened, and as if possessed, he injected power at high speed, making the speed of his ritual increase by a few notches, not daring to delay in the slightest.

At the same time, he prepared to flee at any moment.

At this time, he felt he was crazy.

This person was currently just a sacrifice with his entire cultivation base sealed; why was his spiritual sense jumping wildly, making him feel like he should run away at any time?

What exactly was wrong with him? Was he already sick?

Could it be that this person could still turn the tables?

But even if he could turn the tables and he himself capsized in the gutter, this was the Three Immortals Sect, protected by those three Supremes. Even if he failed, his life should be safe, right?

In his bewilderment.

He thought again of Li Heng's previous words, saw the Golden Ingot Divine Mountain, saw the Eternal Peach Tree, saw the Supreme Fortune Star... he always felt something was wrong.

Until the next moment, when he came to his senses, looked at Li Heng on the altar, and noticed the anomaly, his face filled with horror. Without the slightest hesitation, disregarding the backlash and risking the possibility that his future path could no longer progress, he directly severed his connection to the altar. Then he turned and ran, using all his strength, exploding all his trump cards!

This set of movements was simply smooth and flowing, possessing great aesthetic beauty. In just an instant, this Xuelianzi had already escaped the distance of a Multiverse sea.

At this moment, Li Heng's laughter appeared in his ears.

"Fellow Daoist Xuelianzi, where do you want to go?"

Xuelianzi turned a deaf ear and continued to flee. He was currently fleeing toward the most fundamental region of the Longevity Tree. Now, in his heart, only those three Supremes could bring him a sense of security!

Li Heng continued to channel the power of his true self, his every move imbued with supreme might. Sun True Fire ignited inside and outside his body, burning the strange power clean. With a single stomp, he shattered the so-called altar, which turned back into individual weird Great Dao Runes and dissipated into Emptiness.

"Fellow Daoist Xuelianzi, do you mind if I use you to set off some fireworks?"

The laughter and words continued to echo in Xuelianzi's ears. Cold sweat had already broken out on Xuelianzi's forehead; he wished he could grow a few more legs to cross the entire Great Void in one step.

"If you don't answer, I'll take it as your consent." Li Heng smiled, like a grim reaper pronouncing a sentence, finally deciding Xuelianzi's Fate.

As soon as the words fell, Xuelianzi's entire body began to swell, like a balloon being inflated, turning into a bloated fat man. But Xuelianzi seemed not to have noticed the anomaly yet and was still fleeing.

As his body swelled more and more.

Xuelianzi finally ran into the most core region of the Longevity Tree, the true core in his hands, where more than a dozen Sacred were gathered, and the avatar of Shou Lao, one of the three Supremes, was stationed.

He felt relieved in his heart; now he was finally safe. With over a dozen Sacred, plus an avatar of Shou Lao, I say we can block that terrifying Li Daoren; even killing him is not impossible.

He had also just contacted those Sacred, and fluctuations appeared in the surrounding Void; they had already begun to descend.

Thus, he turned his head to look at Li Heng, wanting to mock him.

And then he exploded.

Boundless energy surged within Xuelianzi's body, breaking through his flesh and bursting apart completely, engulfing him and ravaging the surrounding Great Void, evolving into a terrifying, massive explosion capable of destroying all matter and all concepts.

Boom—

Under Li Heng's will, a mushroom cloud rose slowly. The extreme power of destruction brought by the explosion raged; past, present, and future were all destroyed, the universe, world, and space-time were all to be annihilated, as if to completely destroy this Eternal Peach Tree!

And the next moment, an aged voice sounded in the surrounding Void.

"This fellow Daoist, you are being a bit excessive..."
