Chapter 562: Ten Directions Without Image, Void Severed of Tracks

The three elders, Fu, Lu, and Shou, remained uneasy after hearing this.

They released their Divine Sense to search the surrounding Great Void carefully, preventing Li Heng from leaving any contingency plans. But after scanning several times, they discovered nothing unusual.

Had he truly vanished, truly died?

They still found it hard to believe and continued their search, this time tracing along time, scanning through the past, present, and future. Yet, they still found no trace of Li Heng.

In all ten directions, there is no image; in the Void, all tracks are severed...

They understood that such a situation meant either Transcendence or death. Clearly, given that Supreme's cultivation, he had not yet reached the threshold of Great Void Transcendence, so it was highly probable he was dead.

The moment they confirmed this, their hearts were conflicted.

Although he was an enemy, as the saying goes, when the fox dies, the rabbit grieves; since this so-called Forbidden Weapon could kill that mysterious Supreme in one shot, perhaps it could kill them too.

Could their Dao of Deception truly block this Forbidden Weapon?

As Sacred Supremes, they had this confidence.

But they dared not gamble.

This was a contradictory thought; they had once assumed such thoughts would never appear in them, yet Reality was just like this... how terrifying was that Multiverse Alliance, after all?

They sighed inwardly, while also feeling fortunate that they had made contact with the Multiverse Alliance.

Just now, they felt the aura of Number Ten from the Multiverse Alliance was somewhat familiar. After repeated questioning, they discovered that Number Ten was actually related to the Heavenly Court Immortal Gods who had mysteriously vanished after escaping a certain batch of survivors back then; it seemed they were also people of the original Heavenly Court.

So it was that batch of Heavenly Court Immortal Gods who had joined the Multiverse Alliance.

Number Ten guaranteed that if they were willing, they could also join the Multiverse Alliance. However, as the price, they had to hand over the true meaning of their Dao of Deception for the Multiverse Alliance to study.

They were very tempted, yet also very hesitant.

From the current situation, this Multiverse Alliance was clearly incomparably powerful and must possess a path beyond the Supreme level; if they joined, it would be a heaven-sent opportunity.

But on the other hand.

The Dao of Deception was the crystallization of their Wisdom over countless years, a result they achieved by analyzing the already collapsed Ten Thousand Worlds Great Reincarnation and combining it with Calamity and monsters; it was extremely important.

It was even the foundation of their original future path.

Could such a foundation really be handed over?

Thus, they had been hesitating all along.

"Let's go, let's see how Number Two is doing. Watching his loss of composure and loud roaring, it is clear that it must have been extremely dangerous just now, walking on the edge of Life and Death."

Number One spoke calmly, his figure vanishing from where he stood. The other eight looked at each other, nodded, and followed closely behind. The three elders Fu, Lu, and Shou were simply helpless; could they not verify for a while longer? Why the rush to run out?

However, after thinking about it, since the juniors whose cultivation was weaker than their own had already appeared, and they indeed had the intention to join the Multiverse Alliance, if they still did not appear, they would certainly be looked down upon by the Multiverse Alliance and might add some inexplicable obstacles.

No faction would be willing to use those who are timid and fearful.

Moreover, they had just searched and found absolutely no trace of Li Heng; he had disappeared so thoroughly that their caution did indeed seem somewhat superfluous.

So they also followed closely and appeared at the Three Immortals Sect.

"How are you, Number Two?"

Number One appeared and asked calmly.

"Don't worry, I'm not dead yet. But he is indeed strong, though no matter how strong, he couldn't block a strike from the Forbidden Weapon."

Number Two grinned, laughing triumphantly.

"Number Two, you have disrupted our plan. It seems you did not manage to test whether that person had any connection to the Number Five Strange Object. If he does have a connection to the Number Five Strange Object, that means our current mission has already failed."

Number Three pushed his glasses and stated calmly.

"Number Three, why are you so fond of worrying about the sky falling?"

"The Great Void is so vast, and living beings are more than Infinite; how could it be that just any person we happen to run into is related to the Number Five Strange Object? Don't forget, the coordinates where we initially sensed the Number Five Strange Object were far, far away from here."

Number Two sounded somewhat dissatisfied upon hearing this.

Number One frowned; was it really like that?

If that person was truly related to the Number Five Strange Object, he should have felt the dark intuition that the mission had failed by now, but why did he feel that he had not failed?

There were two possibilities for this.

First, his intuition was truly wrong.

Second, that person had not died.

But both the first and second possibilities were extremely absurd. He had walked this path until now, and his intuition had never been wrong. As for the second, for that person to still be alive after being hit by a Forbidden Weapon was simply a miracle.

That was a Forbidden Weapon capable of space-time killing and Causality killing. Even if it only hit a clone, it would hit the original body as well. Or rather, this function existed even if it wasn't a Forbidden Weapon.

After all, in the past, everyone used alternate accounts, which was incredibly annoying.

Eventually, it evolved into killing both the main account and the alternate accounts together.

At this moment, the three elders Fu, Lu, and Shou returned to the Three Immortals Sect, carrying with them the powerful phenomena of Fu, Lu, and Shou; the three lights shone, with Lu Mountain, the Tree of Longevity, and Fu hanging high, as if they were the center of the Ten Thousand Worlds, sweeping across the World Sea.

The Sacreds who were watching around the Three Immortals Sect immediately scattered like birds and beasts, not daring to stay around the Three Immortals Sect for long.

The three elders of the Three Immortals Sect were not as good-tempered as that Supreme from just now; if anyone dared to observe in secret, they would be hunted to the ends of the earth and suppressed to death. They dared not take such a risk. This was also the reason why no one had been able to uncover the secrets of the Three Immortals Sect for many years.

However, the situation was now very clear.

The fact that the Supreme from just now suddenly disappeared, or even died, was related to the three elders Fu, Lu, and Shou. Or perhaps not just the three elders, but also the Peak Divine who attacked the Supreme and the nine Sacreds who followed.

Moreover, observing the auras, this Peak Divine who attacked the Supreme and the nine Sacreds who followed did not belong to the three elders Fu, Lu, and Shou; they did not seem to be in the same group.

Some of the strong among the many Sacreds were surprised; when did a faction of this level emerge in the World Sea, having the qualifications to cooperate with the three elders Fu, Lu, and Shou, and even daring to attack a Supreme?

Perhaps we could make contact as well?

The surviving Sacreds of the Three Immortals Sect saw the return of the three elders Fu, Lu, and Shou, and seeing that their heaven-shaking phenomena showed no signs of injury, their hearts instantly turned cold.

As traitors, they were now completely doomed.

Sure enough, the gazes of the three elders Fu, Lu, and Shou locked directly onto them, and an invisible force emerged, suppressing them so they could not exert even a shred of power.

Then, their forms of Deception actually disobeyed them, condensing into human shapes, kneeling toward the three elders Fu, Lu, and Shou, and performing three kowtows and nine prostrations.

"Do you traitors know your crimes?"

Shou Lao spoke indifferently.

"The two of us do not know what crime we have committed."

Suddenly, Shentu and Yulei stepped forward and said in a loud, clear voice.

The other Sacreds of the Three Immortals Sect were stunned.

What was going on? They had clearly betrayed the Three Elders so easily just a moment ago, so why had they become so tough now? Weren't they just courting death?

In fact, Shentu and Yulei were indeed courting death.

They knew the temperaments of the Three Elders—Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity—very well; once one betrayed them, it was a dead end with no chance of luck, and the price of luck was suffering endless torture before dying. Long ago, it was not as if they hadn't seen how a traitorous Sacred had died.

In that case, it was better to be tough now and beg for a quick death, so they could suffer a little less torture and die cleanly; at worst, they would just return again after endless years.

"Good, tough, then you shall die."

Shou Lao spoke coldly.

The three of them could naturally see through the intentions of Shentu and Yulei, but he could not be bothered to care; after all, in his eyes, this group of traitorous Sacreds all had to die, so he would start by killing two of them first.

"The transaction between you and me has been completed, we should take our leave."

The group of Number Ones proposed their departure.

However, at this very moment, the Void rippled, and laughter rang out. "Guests have arrived, why the rush to leave? Why not let me fulfill the duties of a host first? You wouldn't refuse to give me face, would you?"

Li Heng stepped out of the Void and appeared before the crowd.
