Chapter 563: Flesh Tanking the Taboo

Li Heng appeared before everyone, completely unscathed, his aura at its peak, showing not the slightest sign of weakness.

Seeing this, the expressions of the crowd changed abruptly.

Number One spoke in disbelief, "Impossible, how is this possible? Why are you still alive, and how could you return?!"

He could not comprehend it at all; this was an attack from a Forbidden Weapon, and it had landed—theoretically and practically, it was impossible for this Supreme to have survived.

"That really is worrying for you all."

Li Heng smiled slightly.

That place was indeed special, even somewhat perilous, seemingly capable of consigning all existence to Eternal Silence and plunging it into Emptiness. Staying there, he had to consume a massive amount of Source Power every moment, otherwise the environment there would erode him and cause him to sink into oblivion.

That state was no different from death.

He even discovered other auras in that place; they seemed to be Sacreds who had one after another sunk into it?

However, hindered by insufficient Source Power reserves and his own strength, he temporarily gave up on investigating, choosing only to use Source Power to anchor the coordinates, intending to explore again once his strength was sufficient and his Source Power abundant, before rushing back.

Number One and the others instantly adjusted their mindset.

Regardless of whether this person was human or ghost now, at worst they would just use the Forbidden Weapon to blast him to death again! Fortunately, the Forbidden Weapon they had just set up had not been dismantled, so it was perfect for continued firing.

In the dark side of the Void, light flashed once more, and then, through the inversion of cause and effect, without a moment's delay, it struck Li Heng from the result.

Li Heng's figure vanished again, erased.

Seeing this, the crowd breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed the Forbidden Weapon was still effective. But the next moment, Li Heng stepped out of the Void again, appearing before them with a calm expression.

This is wicked! The pupils of Number One and the other Sacreds shrank.

Could this person return from the land of Eternal Silence?

But how could that be possible?

Even a Venerable could not do it!

At this moment, they no longer cared about resource consumption, but frantically ordered the Forbidden Weapon to fire, and to increase its power to completely erase Li Heng's existence.

Every shot erased Li Heng's existence, but the next moment Li Heng returned again, like an immortal, ever-following ghost, chilling to the bone.

Eventually, no matter how the Forbidden Weapon fired, it could not shake Li Heng's form or erase his existence; he was tanking the Forbidden Weapon's attacks head-on.

Li Heng reached out, blocked the Forbidden Weapon's beam, and shook his head.

"Is this the extent of your tricks?"

He had now gradually figured out the attack method of this Forbidden Weapon; it was not only an extremely exquisite inversion of cause and effect, but also possessed a very deep priority.

This was also the reason he could not block it before. However, after being hit so many times, he had also thought of a way to crack it.

For the inversion of cause and effect on the level of Causality, one simply needed to block it back with more exquisite causal means.

Although he had not opened the Jade Clarity Realm Qingwei Heaven symbolized by the Origin, known as the Cause of All Fruits, he had opened the Supreme Purity Realm Yu Yu Heaven of Spirit Treasure, which could be called the Cause of All Causes.

What causality? Just cut it.

And that very deep priority?

No matter how high the priority, it could not exceed Source Power; he adjusted the direction of his Source Power protection slightly, and he could ignore the so-called priority. As for the erasure and banishment power of the Forbidden Weapon, after adapting to it so many times, he was already familiar with it and it was no longer a concern.

Number One and the other Sacreds were stunned.

Tanking the Forbidden Weapon's attack with his physical body? And looking like he was completely fine—did it have to be this terrifying? At that moment, they immediately realized that the situation was untenable and they had to run.

Although they might not necessarily lose if they fought for their lives.

But once they fought for their lives, they would definitely be at a disadvantage. They had not come to this era to act bravely and fiercely against the natives of this era, but to execute a mission; they could not waste resources and time.

Although they had indeed consumed many resources by firing the Forbidden Weapon repeatedly just now, these resources were not enough to trap them; they had to cut their losses in time.

So, the next moment.

The ten members of the Multiverse Alliance scattered and fled, very quickly.

Number One, the leader, punched through the Void, breaking the concept of spatial distance, moving and escaping rapidly. Number Two used True Reality and Illusion as a springboard, constantly shuttling and leaping. Number Three had the Great Dao circling, folding dimensions, one step reaching the Boundless World Sea...

It could be said that they were like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their own Supernatural Ability, which was breathtaking, although all of this was used for escaping.

This scene left the Three Elders, who had just reacted, dumbfounded. They did not quite understand; was escaping that decisive? It wasn't as if they couldn't win.

Clearly, everyone still had trump cards they hadn't revealed.

Interesting.

Li Heng watched the ten people fleeing and chuckled, but did not pursue. The Three Elders looked grim; they felt their energy locked firmly, unable to move lightly.

It's just... it wasn't them who fired the Forbidden Weapon, so why not chase those ten people from the Multiverse Alliance, but instead lock onto the three of them? What exactly was this guy thinking?

"Fellow Daoist, I must remind you, it was those ten people who were attacking you just now, not us. Once they escape and hide in the dark, you are very likely to continue being ambushed by them."

Shou Lao said calmly.

Although everyone was allies just now, the fact that those ten from the Multiverse Alliance abandoned the three of them was also an act of betraying the alliance, so he didn't feel that shifting the blame was excessive.

Not to mention that both sides had previously made Great Dao oaths.

Were those people not afraid of suffering a backlash for fleeing now?

"Rest assured, they cannot run."

Li Heng answered with a smile.

Since these ten people were involved with the extremely mysterious Multiverse Alliance, he gave these ten people the corresponding respect. So, just now, silently and soundlessly, he had already attached a Source Power Mark to those ten people.

Never mind running to the ends of the earth or the other side of the Great Void, even if they ran to the Unknown or the end of the Time-Space Mother River, he could still control their whereabouts and even drag them back.

He did this with a certain intention of fishing.

However, these ten people from the Multiverse Alliance were clearly somewhat clever, constantly playing a game of chess with him from afar, so it might not necessarily be a successful catch. But regardless of whether it succeeded or not, he remained firmly in control.

"Then the three of us really must thank you for your insight, Fellow Daoist, knowing that the three of us have the ability to escape, so you prioritized locking onto us three?"

The Three Elders spoke indifferently, their expressions gradually turning cold.

"No, it's purely because you didn't run first."

Li Heng said very sincerely.

The Three Elders were stunned upon hearing this, but they reacted instantly, feeling somewhat indignant. Was this person mocking them for being senile and slow to react? Did this person truly believe they could not defeat him?

"You have spoken such big words for so long that you have even started to believe them yourself."

Shou Lao began to speak in a sarcastic, Yin and Yang tone.

"I am merely speaking the truth; however, to return to the main topic, you three were once the Three Dukes of the Heavenly Court, and your status was considered first-class and noble, so how have you ended up in this state now?"

"Still researching this neither-human-nor-ghost path of trickery?"

Li Heng smiled, revealing the Heavenly Emperor Authority.
