BXBX NOVEL Chapter 73 - 73 This Artifact Spirit is Very Strong!_i
Li Cheng looked at the man with utter disdain. Just like Feng Wanli back then, although he was only at the early stages of being a Heavenly Immortal, he brazenly claimed to be at the Complete level of Heavenly Immortal, shameless. Did he really think that spouting such nonsense would make others afraid? With only that level of strength, was there any use in talking nonsense?
‘Since you’re shameless, let’s see if you can withstand my full-strength punch!’ Li Cheng struck with all his might, ten thousand rules of the Fist Path swirling around his fist as he fiercely bombarded Lu Sanqian!
Having already given Lu Sanqian a chance to catch his breath, he intended to make him admit defeat both willingly and convincingly.
Lu Sanqian’s momentum surged, pushing his Immortal Yuan to the extreme, creating a strong oppressive force that caused the ground around him to continuously collapse, “Come! Face your death!”
With a ferocious roar, an Immortal Weapon War Saber flew out from Lu Sanqian’s Dantian. Clutching it in his hand, he gathered a vast amount of Immortal Yuan into a blade light and fiercely slashed down!
Before the blade light even arrived, its violent power had already swept across heaven and earth, the ground constantly collapsing, frightening the onlookers into rapidly flying away to the sides.
“So slow?”
Li Cheng appeared beside Lu Sanqian in one step, taking advantage of his slash, and punched him in the left shoulder. In an instant, Lu Sanqian’s body turned into a mist of blood, leaving only the Immortal Infant behind!
The Immortal Infant was clad in a suit of silver armor, which was also shattered by the punch, but fortunately, it had preserved the Immortal Infant. A look of horror covered the Immortal Infant’s face, “You… Immortal Spirit Step? Dammit, you’re cheating…”
Boom!
Just then, as the blade light from Lu Sanqian’s slash entered the broken ground, constant booming sounds could be heard, and numerous distant mountains collapsed. Within a few breaths, a canyon several hundred miles long had formed!
“Tsk tsk… After all, it’s just a Secret Land, still too weak, if it were outside, his slash couldn’t have caused such destruction,” Black Elder said with a laugh.
Old Bai nodded with a smile, “If we were outside, he could at best split a few mountains. Our Kunlun Realm has existed for countless eras, with space being very stable indeed!”
Li Cheng casually grabbed Lu Sanqian’s Immortal Infant, “You can’t take a hit?
You should have said so earlier, then 1 wouldn’t have hit you so hard.”
Lu Sanqian tried to struggle, but found himself tightly seized and utterly unable to move!
“Let go of me, I give up, the Astonished God Tripod is yours!” Lu Sanqian said through clenched teeth.
Li Cheng’s face was full of scorn, “Is your realization that low?”
His life and death were in his control and still, he dared to talk like that?
Lu Sanqian glared at Li Cheng, “Kid, you’re lecturing me about realization? If you have any, then let go of me right away, otherwise, hmpf!”
Li Cheng laughed, “You must be an idiot, right?”
As he spoke, Li Cheng squeezed harder while circulating the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture to absorb the Immortal Yuan.
“Damn it all, you guys, why aren’t you saving me?” roared Lu Sanqian.
Li Cheng glanced at Zhuo Bu’er and others flying back, said teasingly, “Want to save him?”
The crowd swallowed hard, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Even Elder Lu had exploded after three punches, how could they dare to make a move?
Li Cheng did not hide his disdainful gaze as it moved to the Immortal Infant in his hand, “Where did you deceive my master into going back then?”
“I won’t tell you, kid. You won’t make it out of the Artifact Sect alive. Let me go now, and you may still leave a whole corpse!”
Li Cheng’s brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at the Black and White Elders, “Elders, I think this man is sick, definitely sick!”
In such a situation, still stubbornly talking back? Still daring to threaten?
Yes, that’s sick!
Old Bai pointed at the people of the Artifact Sect, “With so many of his juniors looking on, if he begged for mercy, what would become of a Heavenly Immortal’s dignity?”
Right!
Li Cheng nodded, enlightened, “Lu Sanqian, I’ll kill these twenty-one people first, then we’ll talk!”
As soon as these words came out, Zhuo Bu’er and the others felt their hair stand on end and a chill rise from the soles of their feet as if they had fallen into an ice cave!
“Elder Li, don’t get it wrong, we’re just here to watch you clean up this old bastard!”
“Exactly, Elder Li, you don’t know, this old bastard has been throwing his weight around, taking advantage of his seniority at the Artifact Sect. We’ve been longing for someone to take him down!”
“Right, if Elder Li doesn’t believe us, we can collectively piss and shit on his head to show our sincerity!”
Twenty-one people, led by Zhuo Bu’er, continued to humiliate Lu Sanqian non-stop, as if afraid that not humiliating him enough would bring about a fatal disaster.
Li Cheng and the Black and White Elders watched, dumbfounded. Damn, the Artifact Sect sure is ruthless!
Such humiliation of the Ancestor Master, aren’t they afraid of being struck by lightning from the heavens?
This is nothing less than betrayal of master and ancestors!
Lu Sanqian was furious, yet helpless, and could only glare at Zhuo Bu’er and the others with eyes full of splitting rage.
But those twenty-one people completely ignored Lu Sanqian’s glare.
Are you kidding? The guy who could blast away your Immortal Body with just three punches—who would dare to make an enemy of him and not value their own life?
“Elder Lu, endure it for now. We’re using strategy here. As long as we temporarily stabilize this bastard, the moment we’re out of the Secret Land, we’ll activate the measures left by our ancestors and suppress him!”
As everyone cursed in anger, the sound transmission from the Tribulation Loose Immortal surfaced.
A flash of understanding crossed Lu Sanqian’s eyes, but his anger did not subside. No matter what, these juniors had humiliated him.
Clenching his teeth in secret, Lu Sanqian replied, “I’ll endure!”
This sound transmission could not be concealed from Li Cheng and the other two.
Li Cheng’s Spiritual Sense was strong, and although the Black and White Elders, who were sixteen-strike Loose Immortals, might not match Li Cheng in that aspect, they were certainly much stronger than the ten-strike Loose Immortal. How could they not hear it?
“Any of the top ten sects has countless methods left by their ancestors, capable of easily suppressing True Immortals. We need to think of something!” Black Elder sent a sound transmission.
“No hurry!” Li Cheng replied, then used the Fist Path rule to punch through the Formation deep in the valley from a distance.
Whoosh!
As soon as the Formation was broken, a three-footed large tripod surged into the sky, and a young man’s roar emanated from within, “Bastards of the Artifact Sect, I’ll annihilate your entire sect!”
“Oh? This Artifact Spirit is quite strong! Almost as strong as Lu Sanqian.” Li Cheng was delighted.
The Black and White Elders’ eyes widened as Black Elder said, “Senior Brother Wuya kept his cards close to the chest. We all thought he had obtained an ordinary Immortal-grade Artifact tripod. Who would’ve thought the Artifact Spirit itself had the cultivation of a Heavenly Immortal!”
“Isn’t that the truth? If the Artifact Spirit has cultivated to become a Heavenly Immortal, then this tripod and its original owner must be extraordinary!” Old Bai marveled.
Ordinary Artifact Spirits have no cultivation and depend on the artifact. Although they can propel the artifact, the power they can exert is limited.
An Artifact Spirit that has embarked on the path of cultivation is different.
Such spirits can even exist independent of the artifact, somewhat akin to Nascent Souls and Immortal Infants.
If they wish, they can even forge a flesh and blood body like a Loose Immortal! But there’s no need for that since the artifact that gave birth to them is their body.
Li Cheng glanced at the Black and White Elders and said, “The Astonished God Tripod, the tripod of Qi Jingshen, the number one Artifact Refining Master in the Immortal World.”
I myself heard about Qi Jingshen from Feng Wanli, so it’s normal that the Elders haven’t heard of him.
“So that’s how it is, no wonder!” The Elders nodded in unison, with astonishment flashing in their eyes.
They began to understand why the Heavenly Immortal of the Artifact Sect was so possessive of the tripod.
In the meantime, the Astonished God Tripod seemed to have noticed everyone below and swiftly flew towards them, “Bastards of the Artifact Sect, face your death!”
Black Elder chuckled, “These guys still want to stabilize us and wait until we’re out of the Secret Land to trigger the protective power of their sect; it seems they won’t have the chance.”
A Heavenly Immortal-grade Artifact Spirit wielding an Immortal Artifact has a might that even surpasses cultivators of the same level using Immortal Artifacts; this time, we can enjoy the show!
However, Li Cheng furrowed his brows slightly, “The three of us are the most powerful here; it seems to be particularly focused on us. Why do 1 feel like it’s charging straight for us three?”
“That’s not right, the Artifact Spirit should recognize us three!” Old Bai said. Black Elder cleared his throat, “Could it be that when Senior Brother Wuya was around, the Artifact Spirit was in a dormant state and so it actually doesn’t recognize us?”
