Chapter 182 Ambush from Ten Sides to Slay the Immortal King; Even the Immortal Lord Suffers!
"Although Master said he would cripple that old codger Yuan Chu, a Celestial King is still a Celestial King, with vitality as tenacious as a cockroach."
"What if he still has some trump card to save his life?"
"What if he self-destructs?"
"What if he brought back some helpers?"
"Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, this number is unlucky, extremely unlucky."
As the saying goes, even the most meticulous plans can have flaws.
"If I hadn't set up this trap, and he managed to escape with a wisp of his soul, wouldn't that cause endless trouble in the future?"
With that thought in mind, Li Changsheng stopped worrying about it.
As the first disciple of the Primordial Immortal Court, the most beloved disciple of the Primordial Immortal Lord, and the most speechless grand-disciple of the Primordial Immortal Ancestor, he has a certain obligation to eliminate Yuan Chu.
After saying that, he took out a handful of items that exuded a chilling aura from the seemingly ordinary but actually vast storage bag in his arms.
It was a pitch-black dagger, stained with a trace of dried black blood.
"This is a dagger that was found on an ancient battlefield years ago and is suspected to be contaminated with a strange substance that surpasses the level of a Celestial King."
"It's a bit damaged, but it should be enough to finish off an enemy."
As Li Changsheng muttered to himself, he insidiously hid the dagger under the pillow of the Jade Bed, adjusting it to an extremely tricky angle so that anyone who lay down would bump their head directly into it.
"And this, the Soul-Devouring Powder of Ten Thousand Poisons, is colorless and odorless. Even if a Celestial King's primordial spirit comes into contact with a trace of it, it will be paralyzed within three breaths."
"Pour it into the teapot, and add some to this incense burner as well."
"Oh, and we can't overlook that threshold at the door."
Li Changsheng was like a decorator with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, bustling about in this originally sacred and incomparably sacred Immortal King's Palace.
He first buried three thousand world-destroying thunder pearls under the threshold, and then hung eight hundred immobilization talismans on the roof beam.
He even stuffed a specially mutated gold-devouring worm into the pot of immortal orchids that the Primordial Immortal King usually used for appreciation.
Only after he had filled every inch of the hall with murderous intent, and until he was certain that even a fly that flew in would be killed ten thousand times over, did Li Changsheng finally clapp his hands in satisfaction.
"That should be about right."
"One hundred and eight thousand killing formations, plus three thousand kinds of deadly poisons and five hundred kinds of curses."
"Even if our master himself came and accidentally stepped on it... cough cough, it would still make him look bad for a while, right?"
However, after doing all this, Li Changsheng did not swagger away.
Instead, he swayed and instantly transformed into a wisp of smoke, disappearing directly into a crack in the floor next to an inconspicuous spittoon in the corner of the main hall.
Furthermore, he affixed a thousand concealment talismans to his body and used the most profound concealment technique of the Primordial Immortal Court to suppress his aura to the extreme. Even if the Heavenly Dao came, it might not be able to detect that there was someone hiding here.
"Stay calm, we can win."
And so, Li Changsheng, the dignified first-ranked immortal of the Celestial Court, was hiding in a crack in the ground, his eyes slightly narrowed, quietly waiting for the Primordial Immortal King to return, severely injured.
...
"boom!!!"
However, not long after Li Changsheng hid himself, the space above the Primordial Immortal Land suddenly exploded.
Immediately afterwards, a terrifying streak of blood-red light ripped through the sky like a meteor, stumbling and crashing into this territory.
Damn it!
"Jiang Chen, Tai Chu!"
"If I don't avenge this, I, Yuan Chu, swear I will not be king!!"
As the bloody light dissipated, the scene that was revealed was enough to shock the entire Immortal Realm!
Where is even a trace of the majesty of a supreme immortal king?
At this point, Yuan Chu was nothing but a head!
His immortal king body had already been shattered by Jiang Chen's palm strike, turning into a sky full of blood mist.
Even the remaining head was covered in cracks, like a piece of porcelain about to shatter.
Moreover, golden immortal blood was constantly seeping out from its seven orifices.
That's terrible, so terrible!
He thought that by enlisting the help of that forbidden being, even if he couldn't kill Jiang Chen, he could at least severely injure him.
But who could have imagined that Jiang Chen, that madman, that freak, would have progressed further in that realm than anyone could have imagined!
It's just a hand!
With one hand, he held down that forbidden being, and with the other hand, he smashed the primordial being to pieces on the spot.
If he hadn't burned his own essence and used the Blood Escape Technique at the last moment, he probably wouldn't have even been able to keep his head!
"Thank goodness, thank goodness I escaped back."
Looking down at the familiar immortal land and the majestic palace, Yuan Chu's still-shaken head finally revealed a hint of relief at surviving the ordeal.
"As long as I return to the Daoist temple, activate the mountain-protecting formation, and recuperate for a million years using the ten thousand dragon veins underground, I can return to my peak!"
"Jiang Chen, you just wait!"
"Once I recover, I will unite with the kings of other realms and raze your Primordial Immortal Court to the ground!"
While making a fierce vow in his heart, Yuan Chu controlled his head to plummet rapidly, rushing directly into the hall that he considered absolutely safe.
After passing through the defensive barriers of the main hall, Yuan Chu did not sense anything unusual.
This put his mind at ease.
"It seems that although Ao Sheng and Tai Shi are unreliable, at least they have held back the rest of the Tai Chu Immortal Court and prevented them from raiding my base."
Thinking of this, Yuan Chu breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves finally relaxed.
He is too weak now, so weak that he doesn't even dare to use his divine sense to probe freely, for fear that excessive consumption will cause his primordial spirit to collapse.
So he was completely unaware that this seemingly peaceful hall was already teeming with murderous intent!
"Heal the wounds first, they must be healed immediately."
Soon, Yuan Chu controlled his head and floated towards the eternal cold jade bed.
There lies the essence of immortal cultivation accumulated over countless eons, the key to his recovery.
Closer, even closer.
As Yuan Chu looked at the familiar jade bed, his eyes gradually brightened.
He was like a traveler dying of thirst in the desert who had finally seen an oasis.
However, just as his head touched the top of the cold jade bed...
Just as he was about to activate his cultivation technique and absorb the essence of the cold jade...
With a cracking sound, the next second, a sense of crisis that even Yuan Chu's Immortal King head felt terrified erupted from all directions!
"No..."
Yuan Chu's eyes widened, but before he could even utter the word "good," he was engulfed by a deafening explosion.
Along with the deadly attacks he had previously dodged by chance, they all erupted simultaneously!
"boom!!!!!"
Beneath the jade bed, 108,000 terrifying killing formations were unleashed simultaneously, annihilating everything in their path!
Any one of these beams of light would be enough to kill a True Immortal-level expert!
