Chapter 73

Over a hundred Emperor Realms suddenly descended upon this realm, emptying everything around, and completely surrounded Li Zhangsheng.

Yet Li Zhangsheng seemed as if he hadn't seen them at all, still drinking his own wine, eating his own roast meat, treating them as nothing, utterly unaffected!

At that moment, a mighty middle‑aged man stood directly in front of Li Zhangsheng, the closest position to him, clearly taking the role of a leader!

His aura was terrifyingly surging; he stood with his arms crossed, eyes razor‑sharp, looking down on Li Zhangsheng as if gazing over the world!

However, when he looked at Li Zhangsheng, a dense killing intent erupted from his body!

The man is named Mo Shitian, a peerless strongman who has cultivated two strands of half‑immortal Qi, master of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earth realms… the head of Return Void Hall, and also Mo Jingyuan's father!

After learning of Mo Jingyuan's fall, he somehow discovered that Li Zhangsheng was responsible!

And he brought his elite subordinates to confront Li Zhangsheng!

Next to Mo Shitian stood an elderly man with disheveled gray hair.

The elder's eyes were also ashen gray, he held a gleaming golden gourd, and a terrifying ancient, weathered aura enveloped his whole body!!

He is the senior elder of Return Void Hall, also a terrifying strongman who has cultivated two strands of half‑immortal Qi!

"With so many visitors, you can still drink and eat so calmly; truly impressive composure," Mo Shitian said, his sharp gaze fixed on Li Zhangsheng, speaking first.

A few days earlier, when he learned that his son Mo Jingyuan's true body and external avatar had both fallen, he was both shocked and enraged!

Mo Shitian is a peerless strongman who has cultivated two strands of immortal Qi, boasting that few can match him on this immortal path, and naturally fears no one!

Moreover, Mo Jingyuan is his only son, and he has always dote on him beyond measure!

Yet because of this, his son was killed; failing to avenge this grievance would make him a worthless father!

Thus, after employing certain investigative and tracking methods, and several days of effort, he finally located Li Zhangsheng's hideout, and then arrived with his forces!

He also knows that since Li Zhangsheng was able to kill those three or four elders wielding half‑immortal artifacts and then slay his son, his strength cannot be underestimated.

On this expedition, the reason he brought so many is to prepare for any contingency, gathering everyone's power to activate a treasured hall‑sealing artifact of Return Void Hall—the Refining Immortal Pot!

The Refining Immortal Pot is a pseudo‑immortal device that requires the combined effort of over a hundred Emperor Realms to activate.

Its power is unparalleled; once activated, the Immortal Realm opens fifty‑fifty, and everything beneath the Immortal Realm becomes killable!

As for whether it can split fifty‑fifty with a strongman who steps into the Immortal Realm, Mo Shitian is of course unsure; there may be some exaggeration.

After all, he has never seen a strongman who has already entered the Immortal Realm; those strongmen have all ascended to the Immortal Domain.

But the claim that everything beneath the Immortal Realm can be killed, Mo Shitian has no doubt about at all!

He is fully aware of the Refining Immortal Pot's capabilities!

Previously, in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earth realms, Return Void Hall activated this pseudo‑Refining Immortal Pot to seal and kill several peerless strongmen who had cultivated three strands of immortal Qi and were about to ascend.

Thus it is clear that he places great importance on Li Zhangsheng!!

In his view, since Li Zhangsheng can still remain on this immortal path, he must be a cultivator beneath the Immortal Realm!

Since he is beneath the Immortal Realm, he can be sealed and killed!

"Ah!" Li Zhangsheng shook his head, took a sip of wine, and without looking up said, "Actually, I don't enjoy killing."

"Yet you killed my son just a few days ago!!" Mo Shitian glared coldly at Li Zhangsheng, his tone chilling and sinister.

"Oh!" Li Zhangsheng replied lightly with a single word.

"You..." Mo Shitian's face turned as cold as frost!

Killing my son and acting so indifferent—truly the height of arrogance!

Today, if I don't completely seal and kill you, I will no longer bear the name Mo!

"Since you all have gone through so much trouble to find me, I'll give you a chance to strike."

Li Zhangsheng lounged lazily on a flattened stone beside the fire, hands propped behind his head, legs crossed, gazing upward, and said nonchalantly, "Remember, use your strongest killing technique, give it your all, and don't hold back!"

Li Zhangsheng was bored, adopting the mindset of merely playing along with them!

"Hmph, you really are confident in your own strength!"

"I know you possess the divine skill to crush half‑immortal artifacts with your bare hands; your strength is extraordinary," Mo Shitian said gravely, "But as long as you have not taken that step, Return Void Hall can seal and kill you!"

Speaking, Mo Shitian raised his hand, and a Refining Immortal Pot flew out from his sleeve, which he summoned.

Boom!

A massive Refining Immortal Pot slowly expanded in the sky, spewing a terrifying world‑ending aura!

Moments later, the pot's lid pressed down on the entire heavens, endless and boundless, and space collapsed with a whooshing roar.

In an instant, the whole sky was filled by the pot, the world lost its color, this realm was completely sealed, and a massive pressure slammed into the face.

And Li Zhangsheng stood right in the center beneath the Refining Immortal Pot!

"This thing's not bad!"

Li Zhangsheng, lying on the flattened stone slab, commented leisurely.

This thing is far more powerful than the tower he previously smashed with his bare hands!

Swish! Swish! Swish…

Terrifying bursts of power shot out from Mo Shitian and the over a hundred Emperor Realms, then poured into the Refining Immortal Pot.

The pot's gathered power grew increasingly terrifying, and the pressure on this realm grew ever larger.

Space collapsed everywhere!

"Go!"

Mo Shitian flicked his finger, and the Refining Immortal Pot, bearing a world‑ending force, sped down to cover Li Zhangsheng below!

Buzz!

In the blink of an eye, the pot covered Li Zhangsheng to within an inch!

Li Zhangsheng remained lazily reclined, letting the pot descend onto him…

Boom!

Heaven collapses, earth caves in!

"Hmph, he actually has no defense at all, truly arrogant!" Mo Shitian saw Li Zhangsheng actually letting the lid of the Immortal-Refining Pot cover him, and couldn't help but let out a cold snort!

Who would have thought, just at this moment…

Boom!

That huge Immortal-Refining Pot exploded with a boom, shattering into fragments; a terrifying shockwave swept across heaven and earth, shards flying everywhere!

And Li Zhangsheng still lay on that rock, maintaining the posture of pointing a finger.

"What?!"

Everyone in the Return to the Void Hall stared wide-eyed!!

In an instant, deathly silence!

After a long while, Mo Shitian looked at Li Zhangsheng, swallowed, his face full of fear, his whole body trembling as he said: "Senior, I... we got the wrong person!"
