The Astonished God Tripod roared, shooting across the sky like a meteor, and charged straight toward Li Cheng and his two companions.
The three of them exchanged glances, each seeing a trace of wistfulness in the othersâ eyes. Wasnât this a case of âflooding the Dragon Kingâs Templeâ?
âAstonished God Tripod, weâve met before, havenât you forgotten?â Black Elder shouted.
âMet before, who hasnât met before? Die!â The youthful voice of the Astonished God Tripod thundered, its momentum unabated.
The Artifact Sect people, relieved of their burden, ecstatically took the opportunity to rush towards the entrance of the Secret Land.
The Heavenly Mechanism Sectâs Immortal Artifact wanted to kill the people of Heavenly Mechanism Sect; ha, the chance to escape had come!
The Astonished God Tripod was too fast, and there was no time to explain; Li Cheng and the others dared not to receive it head-on as it barreled toward them like a meteor, each teleporting out of the way.
âIâll hold it off, you explain!â
As Li Cheng spoke, he activated the Time Law, enveloping a hundred-meter radius around the Astonished God Tripod, but discovered that it had little effect, only slightly reducing the speed of its collision.
The Time Law was still too weak, with only forty strands, it was difficult to affect an Immortal Artifact or a Heavenly Immortal.
âAstonished God Tripod, we are from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, Wu Ya is our senior brother!â Black Elder shouted.
Black Elderâs shout finally caused the Astonished God Tripod to pause slightly, stopping about a zhang away from Li Cheng, âHmm? Did I, young master, make a mistake?â
Li Cheng extended one hand forward, fending off the powerful aura from the Astonished God Tripod, saying, âOf course you did, look, Lu Sanqian is in my hands.â
âOh? All, shouldâve said that earlier; 1 almost hurt you guys!â
âYou being able to kill that old scoundrel Lu Sanqian is quite good, just right, the three of us together with the tripod could join forces to wipe out the Artifact Sect, how about it?â
Li Cheng looked towards the Secret Land entrance, speechless; well, this is great, your antics have allowed those twenty-one people to all escape!
Once those people escaped, they would surely activate all kinds of measures from their sect!
The Black and White Elders looked at the Astonished God Tripod with a wry smile. Now, to talk about wiping out the Artifact Sect; it would be a not-so-small problem for the three of them plus the tripod to safely leave the Artifact Sect.
After all, those measures were powerful enough to kill even True Immortals.
Li Cheng, however, did not care at all. When he used a ploy to get the Artifact Sect to bring him to the Astonished God Tripod, he had already considered the possibility of being trapped.
But Li Cheng knew that with the Space Law in his possession, he could leave if he wanted to, and the Artifact Sect couldnât stop him!
So he had boldly entered.
âTalk, damn it, those bastards from the Artifact Sect actually tried to refine me while I was asleep, they must be wiped out!â exclaimed the Astonished God Tripod firmly.
Li Cheng and the others realized that it was Lu Sanqian who had managed to awaken the tripod!
Had it awakened sooner, given Lu Sanqianâs strength, he might have found it difficult to suppress the Astonished God Tripod.
âAstonished God Tripod, what nonsense are you spouting? Even if a True Immortal made a move, they couldnât possibly wipe out my Artifact Sect, just with the three of you and a tripod?â Lu Sanqian snorted coldly.
Li Cheng turned to look at Lu Sanqian in his hand, âYour descendants have fled the Secret Land, now, thereâs no need for you to pretend to be tough!â âBrother, letâs discuss a matter!â The Astonished God Tripod, paying no attention to Lu Sanqian, floated over to Li Chengâs side, its voice carrying a tone of pleasure.
âHe is Wu Yaâs disciple, you should address him as Young Master!â Black Elder interjected.
The Astonished God Tripod made a half turn, âWhat are you blabbing about, Wu Ya is my big brother, not my boss. My only boss is one person, you all know that!â
Turning another half circle, the Astonished God Tripod continued, âBrother, let me supplement myself with this Immortal Infant. Afterwards, Iâll take you to retrieve the inheritance from my master!â
Li Cheng smiled, âThe inheritance of the Astonished God Immortal Emperor has already been given to me, Iâm kind of his half-disciple.â
The Astonished God Tripod was clearly stunned and did not speak for quite some time.
âBrothers⦠please let me go, I know I was wrong. Just let me go, and I promise you will leave the Artifact Sect safely and soundly, and I swear I will never be your enemy again!â Lu Sanqian finally found an opportunity and begged.
All three looked simultaneously at the Immortal Infant in Li Chengâs hand, their expressions somewhat odd.
Lu Sanqian no longer put on a tough front, but obviously he wouldnât try to cozy up by forcefully calling someone âbrotherâ just to save his own life, right?
Li Cheng casually handed the Immortal Infant over to the Astonished God Tripod, âTake a good nourishment.â
âNo, please! I donât want to die, I beg you!â Lu Sanqian panicked.
The Astonished God Tripod didnât rush to take the Immortal Infant; instead, it coughed lightly and said, âSince my master has already given you the inheritance, let me ask, you should know of Qi Jingtian, right?â
âYouâre asking if the major demon of heaven and earth has transformed? Although it hasnât, it has already left the Secret Land through an avatar and is now my disciple, within the sect.â
âHaha, thatâs great news. Come on, release the tripod within you, and I shall transmit the cultivation methods to it!â the Astonished God Tripod said cheerfully.
It could sense the presence of the Purple Void Jade Emperorâs Tripod; Li Cheng wasnât surprised at all.
Li Cheng summoned the Purple Void Jade Emperorâs Tripod. The cultivation methods for the Artifact Spirit, that was something indeed valuable, of course he would let the Purple Void Jade Emperorâs Tripod learn them!
Seeing that he was being ignored, Lu Sanqian became even more anxious, âPlease, let me go, 1 will tell you everything about Wu Ya immediately!â
The Astonished God Tripod finally paid attention to him, responding contemptuously, âDo I need you to say? Iâm well aware of where my elder brother has gone to. 1â11 find him after I destroy the Artifact Sect!â
Not waiting for Lu Sanqian to continue pleading, the lid of the Astonished God Tripod opened and directly absorbed the Immortal Infant.
The next moment, Lu Sanqianâs screams sounded.
âHehe, you overestimated yourself trying to refine this young master for over twenty years. Now, itâs this young masterâs turn to refine you!â
âNoâ¦â
Lu Sanqianâs mentality probably collapsed. He thought the inheritance of Qi Jingshen would be within the Astonished God Tripod, so he resorted to all means to refine it; only now did he realize it wasnât there at all.
Moreover, after refining the Astonished God Tripod for over twenty years with no progress at all, when the Astonished God Tripod made its move, his Immortal Infant couldnât resist. His consciousness was gradually becoming blurry!
Before long, a comfortable voice emerged from the Astonished God Tripod, âMmm⦠this Heavenly Immortal Complete Immortal Infant has lost very little Immortal Power, delightful!â
âBrother, youâre even stronger than I imagined. Lu Sanqian barely put up a fight before you destroyed his Immortal Body!â
From the Immortal Yuan remaining in the Immortal Infant, the Astonished God Tripod made its deduction.
Li Cheng, however, was skeptical, âWasnât he just at the early stages of Heavenly Immortal?â
âItâs a Heavenly Immortal Complete. How could you think he was at the early stages?â the Astonished God Tripod asked in confusion.
Li Cheng frowned and immediately understood; heâd been deceived by that Remnant Soul before! That Remnant Soul when alive, was definitely not just at the True Immortal level but stronger!
This deception led him to always believe others were lying about their cultivation levels!
Because of this, heâd even looked down on others for being shameless!
Feng Wanli, Lu Sanqian, both of them.
âSo, it turns out, I can already easily slay a Heavenly Immortal Complete!â Li Cheng mused after a while.
The Astonished God Tripod was taken aback; it vaguely understood that Li Cheng had probably been deceived by an Immortal and had misunderstood the levels of Heavenly Immortal cultivation.
âBecause Loose Immortals havenât condensed an Immortal Body, many tactics canât be deployed, and their combat strength compared to a true Immortalâ¦
The combat strength of a Heavenly Immortal Complete is likely just a bit higher than that of a ten Tribulations Loose Immortal!â
âEnough about that, letâs go out and destroy the Artifact Sect!â the Astonished God Tripod declared.
The Black and White Elders exchanged glances; Black Elder said helplessly, âAstonished God Tripod, the Artifact Sect has probably already activated the protective mechanism left by the Immortals by now. Thinking of destroying the Artifact Sect, how easy could that be?â
âThatâs right, weâd be lucky just to safely leave the Artifact Sect!â White Elder said.
The Astonished God Tripod fell silent for a few seconds, âThatâs true, but not having a big fight would hardly settle my grudge!â
Li Cheng looked towards the entrance of the Secret Land, his brow slightly furrowed, âThe Artifact Sect is attacking the Secret Land.. It looks like they want to shatter the Secret Land to have us perish along with it!â
