Chapter 22: Undying

"What happened, was there an earthquake?" Those patrol soldiers were startled by the sudden movement!

Cloud Emperor was also startled, his divine sense immediately swept outward.

He then discovered that the mountain-protecting formation he had set up had been breached, and outside the cave mouth stood a white-clad youth, intently staring at the cave opening on the mountainside.

"Damn, how did he catch up?" Cloud Emperor's expression instantly turned grave, he quickly realized: "I've been lured!"

"Careless, damn it, I shouldn't have come back!"

Cloud Emperor muttered another complaint to himself!

Immediately after, he rushed into a building covered in various strange symbols!

Inside the mountain there is also a killing formation that can be manually controlled, and the formation's eye is the building Cloud Emperor just rushed into.

"I never thought I'd be forced to use my trump card one day." Cloud Emperor gritted his teeth and muttered, his expression very solemn.

The killing formation he set up is called the Slay Immortal Formation, fused with the entire mountain, and deep underground twenty top-grade spirit veins continuously supply energy to this formation!!

Naturally, the Slay Immortal Formation cannot truly possess the power to slay immortals, but its power is not to be underestimated!

In short, by consuming one underground spirit vein and activating this formation, one can easily kill an Emperor Realm cultivator.

When fully activated… to be honest, Cloud Emperor doesn't even know how formidable this formation becomes at full power!

After all, he has never used a killing formation before!!

Basically, he has never before seen someone like Li Zhangsheng!

At this moment, Cloud Emperor sat steadily at the formation's eye, waiting for Li Zhangsheng to break in!

Li Zhangsheng did not rush in immediately; he floated outside the mountainside, his divine sense scanning the interior of the entire mountain.

"I see!" He instantly understood the situation inside the whole mountain, "I don't know where they're taking all those captives for sacrifice."

Speaking, Li Zhangsheng casually pointed, and a hole appeared in the mountain before him; he wasn't in a hurry, slowly darting inside.

……

Inside the mountain, within the building covered in various strange symbols, Cloud Emperor sensed Li Zhangsheng rushing in, his expression turned ruthless, he gritted his teeth and directly activated the killing formation himself!

All the killing techniques of the formation instantly struck toward Li Zhangsheng!

At this moment, Cloud Emperor seemed to merge with the killing formation!

He held nothing back; all the energy from the twenty spirit veins he had buried underground was fully channeled into the killing formation!

He still felt it wasn't safe, after all, this white-clad youth's body was incredibly tough.

Thus, Cloud Emperor gritted his teeth again, his expression turned fierce, and directly sacrificed two thousand years of his lifespan to the killing formation!

"Space Strangling Kill!!!" Cloud Emperor bellowed, the terrifying killing formation's techniques all enveloped Li Zhangsheng's position; the area was small but the lethality was immense!!

Swish! Swish! Swish! ……

Countless sounds of space cutting emanated from Li Zhangsheng's position, extremely sharp and piercing!

"Ahhh! I let you chase, I let you chase!" Cloud Emperor's eyes turned blood-red, as he activated the killing techniques and shouted loudly, venting his emotions!

Know this, to kill that white-clad youth he had consumed a full two thousand years of his lifespan!!

"Now, even if you're an immortal, don't think you'll walk out of this killing formation unscathed!" Cloud Emperor said with a ferocious look, appearing somewhat pleased.

The twenty spirit veins were instantly depleted, plus two thousand years of lifespan, firepower at maximum, output cranked to the max!

To be honest, the power of this killing formation exceeds even Cloud Emperor's imagination.

He really couldn't imagine anyone being able to withstand this formation's damage!

At this moment, Cloud Emperor could see that within the Space Strangling Kill's range, a shadow was still moving; he thought Li Zhangsheng was struggling, and couldn't help but sneer: "Struggle on, the more you struggle, the more excited I get……Holy shit!!"

At this moment, only these two words could describe Cloud Emperor's mood!

Only Li Zhangsheng walked calmly through the Space Strangling Kill's range, unharmed, as if strolling leisurely in his own courtyard.

"Hmm, this Space Strangling Kill is not bad for a massage." Li Zhangsheng's face still bore an expression of enjoyment!!

Soon, Li Zhangsheng withstood the formation's power and arrived inside the mountain unharmed.

When Cloud Emperor saw Li Zhangsheng arrive inside the mountain completely unscathed, he was utterly dumbfounded!!

Pfft!

He directly spat out a mouthful of old blood from anger!

"This is impossible!!" He stared wide-eyed at Li Zhangsheng, face full of disbelief.

No way, what kind of joke is this, not even a scratch?

Heavenly Dao, help investigate this person, there's something wrong with him!

Swish!

In the next instant, Li Zhangsheng flashed to appear beside Cloud Emperor, looking at him with interest.

Cloud Emperor was still activating the formation; seeing Li Zhangsheng suddenly appear beside him, he inwardly thought "oh no", sweat poured down his forehead, he awkwardly looked at Li Zhangsheng and whispered: "How about… let me go?"

Li Zhangsheng calmly sized up Cloud Emperor and said slowly: "Sorry, I'm not letting you off."

Speaking, Li Zhangsheng lightly pointed at Cloud Emperor!

With a boom, Cloud Emperor's body turned to ashes and vanished!

However, Li Zhangsheng's face now showed a hint of surprise!

Because he sensed that Cloud Emperor had not truly died yet!

That's rather strange.

"Heh, there's something here." Li Zhangsheng couldn't help but chuckle.

To be honest, this is the first time he's encountered someone who survived two explosions.

Of course, Li Zhangsheng was only slightly surprised, and didn't dwell on it further.

Next time we meet, I'll just cut his life source with a sword.

He rushed out of the building, looking at those Quasi-Emperor soldiers who still didn't know what had happened.

Li Zhangsheng casually waved, and easily wiped them out!

After finishing everything, Li Zhangsheng again came to that deep pit, looked down, and discovered that inside the deep pit there was a group of people wearing the Longevity Sect's clothing!

Of course, there were also various other people, dressed in all kinds of ways, including the old, weak, women, and children; their faces were filled with despair!

"Surely they're all here." Li Zhangsheng murmured, then pointed with his finger, and the formation surrounding the pit's entrance was instantly broken by him.

The people inside heard the movement and also all looked up!

When the Longevity Sect people saw Li Zhangsheng, they all rejoiced, "Sect Master!"

However, they still had restraints on them and couldn't move at all!

Li Zhangsheng again casually waved and wiped away all the restraints on them!

In a moment, everyone inside the deep pit rushed out.

People of other forces also thanked Li Zhangsheng profusely: "Thank you, sir, for saving our lives!"

However, inside a continuous mountain range, the interior of the mountain range had been hollowed out, and inside there were many continuous passages, like an enlarged version of an ant nest!

In a space deep within the mountain range, there is a gurgling, bubbling blood pool!!

At this moment, the blood pool suddenly boiled, and immediately after, a skeleton slowly emerged from the blood pool.

The skeleton turned its head, then walked out of the blood pool, and with each step, more flesh appeared on its body.

When he reached the edge of the blood pool, he had already turned into a demonic-looking man in a red robe!

As it turned out, he was the Cloud Emperor!

He had just wasted another life!
