Chapter 758: The Seventh Layer of the Immortal Prison
Inside the Qianyuan Mysterious Array, Su Che had already spotted three unwelcome visitors descending from above and determined that they were merely late-stage Mystic Immortals.
Su Che wasn’t nervous at all. After all, even when he was still a Human Immortal, he had used the Qianyuan Mysterious Array to trap Mystic Immortal Demon Sealers like Lin Jiu and Guang Qi. Now that he had reached the level of Heavenly Immortal, having ascended two major realms, with the protection of the array, he wasn’t afraid even of a group of such Mystic Immortals.
What puzzled him was what kind of place this mysterious Immortal Lord had thrown him in. Although he kept saying he should hurry up with alchemy, it wasn’t a safe and peaceful place. In just one and a half days, three troublemakers had already shown up…
These three Mystic Immortals clearly underestimated his array and dived in headfirst.
Only after entering did they realize the situation was dire. Although they had entered together, they could no longer tell east from west, north from south, and quickly got separated from each other.
To Su Che, the three of them were only a few dozen feet apart, but for those inside the array, they were as far apart as the ends of the world, stranded in different realms.
One was trapped in the desert, another fell into the ocean, and the third drifted in the endless starry sky…
Each trapped in their own maze, they all cried out, “Oh no!”
That’s how things work in the world—just when nothing seems wrong, disaster strikes.
It was their own fault; who else could they blame? Let them stay there!
The Qianyuan Dual-Pole Mysterious Array was created by some Immortal Lord. The higher the skill of the array controller, the stronger its power. Once Su Che reached the level of Golden Immortal, it would even be possible to use it to trap one or two Immortal Emperors.
“Pardon us, noble immortal! Please spare us.”
“We were blind and offended you, noble immortal. Please forgive us.”
Before long, the three trapped in the maze began to beg for mercy. Su Che ignored them completely, remaining motionless as he patiently waited for the complete integration of the tiny world of living beings with the Immortal Prison Planet.
Another day passed, and the 20,000 planets within the Immortal Prison Mini-Universes merged completely, all becoming vibrant worlds, each nurturing 30 billion intelligent beings and countless lower-level creatures.
This scale far exceeded the requirement for unlocking the seventh layer: 10,000 planets with 5 billion intelligent beings each.
With the Natural Divine Artifact, the Chaos Jade Ring, and a physical strength enhanced a hundredfold, along with enough intelligent beings, Lao Hei’s personal strength had already surpassed the Refining Void stage…
“Everything is ready!”
Su Che took a deep breath and ordered in his heart, “Let’s start now.”
Boom…
A faint tremor arose in the Void of the Immortal Prison, though the countless beings on over twenty thousand planets could not sense it. The entire starry expanse expanded outward on a massive scale, with more desolate planets emerging—a process that lasted for five full days. “As expected, the cosmic space of the first layer of the Immortal Prison has expanded by five hundred times, with the total number of planets exceeding ten million!” As the ruler of the Immortal Prison, Su Che could obtain these exact figures with just a thought. Ten million planets suitable for sentient beings to live on—these belong to my universe. What an achievement! Every expansion of the Immortal Prison world brought Su Che an indescribable sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. Swish swish swish… The other nine thousand small worlds of sentient beings took their positions, continuing to merge with the desolate planets. Yet Su Che was impatient and wanted to immediately test the miraculous function of the seventh layer. Gathering the power of all beings in the Immortal Prison and integrating it into my own body to achieve a hundredfold enhancement. The seventh layer of the Immortal Prison—a grayish space that seemed unremarkable—saw the power of all beings begin to converge at Su Che’s command… Gathering the power of all beings did not mean drawing out every last bit of strength from them and concentrating it all on Su Che. Such an approach would not only be extremely unfair to countless beings but also beyond Su Che’s capacity to handle such immense power. Raising his strength by a hundredfold based on his current level was sufficient. With nearly thirty thousand planets, each hosting three hundred billion intelligent beings and countless lower-level creatures, including a certain proportion of cultivators… By drawing out just a tiny amount of strength from each being, they would not even notice any change, as they could easily replenish that lost energy by eating something. Yet, even these minuscule amounts, when combined on such a vast scale, would become incredibly powerful and terrifying when gathered in Su Che’s hands. Buzz… Within the grayish space of the seventh layer, a pale golden orb suddenly appeared. Its size was immeasurable—neither less than a foot nor infinitely large—it had transcended the laws of material manifestation, reaching another level, another mode of existence. “Master, it’s even better than what we originally thought.”
Lao He immediately reported, “Although a trace of power was drawn from every creature in the Immortal Prison, and for each individual, it only meant a loss of one ten-thousandth of their strength, when combined together, it’s beyond what you can withstand in one go.”
“The power contained in this light sphere is unimaginable. I estimate that even with a hundredfold amplification, it would take hundreds or even thousands of attempts to exhaust it completely.”
“That’s great!”
Su Che wasn’t surprised, because in the current Immortal Prison world, there were far too many creatures, far exceeding previous estimates. The source of power was no longer a problem; the key was his own endurance.
With a hundredfold amplification capacity, he could unleash a hundredfold strength in battle; with a thousandfold capacity, he could unleash a thousandfold strength.
The power of all beings in the Immortal Prison world had become his own source of strength—everlasting and inexhaustible.
The function of harnessing the power of the beings in the seventh layer of the Immortal Prison had finally been realized!
“Come on, let me give it a try.”
Su Che was eager and full of anticipation.
Boom!
A mighty force transmitted from the light sphere in the seventh layer of void, acting directly on Su Che’s entire body—his limbs, vital organs, spirit, mind, and meridians…
At that moment, Su Che felt as though his body, like a deflated ball, was being inflated, with a mighty force condensing on every hair.
Hundredfold strength!
At this moment, what was needed most was a living target.
Whoosh!
Su Che dashed through the complex spatial formations of the Qianyuan Xuan Formation and arrived directly in the endless void where the bald man was.
Since he disliked him, Su Che decided to start with him!
The bald man had been trapped in the maze for six or seven days in the endless starry sky, still unable to find a way out. He had begged for mercy countless times but received no response.
Suddenly, a figure appeared not far ahead. The bald man was shocked—unaware whether it was the controller of the formation or someone else trapped like him.
“What level of cultivation does this person have?”
In the starry sky, the bald man watched Su Che from afar but couldn’t accurately judge his strength. It felt extremely strange—neither like a celestial immortal nor a golden immortal.
If he was weak, he seemed incredibly powerful; if he was strong, he still carried traces of a minor celestial immortal…
Just as he was about to ask, he heard Su Che shout, “Stop talking nonsense and take this!”
Boom!
A simple punch was thrown.
Although the bald man was somewhat surprised, as a Xuanxian, his reaction speed was naturally fast. He also appeared as a brute, preferring to engage in head-on battles. Faced with Su Che’s fierce punch, driven by his combat instincts, he unleashed his full power of the “Great Collision Technique.”
A hundredfold enhancement from a Heavenly Immortal, pitting against an advanced Xuanxian!
Boom!
Two figures streaked through space and collided instantly, creating an extremely dazzling burst of light in the starry sky, as if a sun had exploded from within.
When the light faded, only one figure remained standing; the other was still there, but only a pitiful, miserable head floated in the sky.
A bald head, square face, large ears, and a fierce appearance…
As an immortal, having a head meant his vital spirit was still intact—he wasn’t dead, just his body was shattered, temporarily rendering him unable to fight.
Even so, that head could continuously send mental messages: “Pardon me, immortal! Pardon me!”
The bald man, an advanced Xuanxian, had lost.
His massive body had been shattered by Su Che’s punch! At this moment, Su Che could easily end his life.
“This feels incredible!” Su Che murmured. His hundredfold amplified strength still roared within him; the earlier punch had only unleashed a small fraction of it.
The hundredfold enhancement was even more powerful than expected—utterly ferocious.
“I’ll spare your life!” Su Che raised his hand and sent that bald head into the Immortal Prison. Not killing him meant enslaving him!
With the cultivation level of a Heavenly Immortal, he could now enslave Xuanxians through their souls.
Although this bald man no longer had a body, as a Xuanxian, he could regenerate a new physical body in less than fifteen minutes. Such injuries were trivial for an immortal.
Boom! Boom!
Two more explosions echoed within the Qianyuan Xuan Formation, separated by just three breaths.
Su Che moved like lightning, entering the traps of two other Xuanxians one after another. With two punches each, he shattered their bodies, treating the female immortal the same way.
The treatment was identical—only their heads remained, which were captured and sent to the Immortal Prison.
One punch per target!
With the hundredfold enhancement, dealing with three advanced Xuanxians turned out to be so simple.
In fact, Su Che hadn’t used any grand ultimate techniques—just simple, pure, yet extremely powerful explosive force.
The most primal and pure ultimate force in the world: the power of chaos!
Before long, the three Headless Xuanxians, through soul enslavement, became Su Che’s loyal subordinates, after which he granted them the power to reassemble their bodies. Through their memories, Su Che learned what kind of place that mysterious Immortal Lord had thrown him in—the Realm of the Evil Emperor’s Punishment! A special region created by the Evil Emperor Immortal Lord in the Earthly Immortal Realm, almost entirely enclosed, designed to imprison immortals guilty of capital crimes. It was a place of exile, chaos, and death. Within this realm, no logic applied, no rules existed; if two criminals met, either could rob or kill the other. If their strengths were equal, they could even unite to attack and rob others. The Evil Emperor’s reasoning was: These scum don’t deserve a trial, let alone stand on the Immortal Slaying Platform; let them fend for themselves there. “Evil Emperor…” Su Che finally figured out who that mysterious Immortal Lord was: “As expected, truly the greatest evil under heaven!”
