Chapter 759: So What if It’s a Golden Immortal?
“The Realm of Punishment by the Evil Emperor—a special place designed to punish those convicted of capital crimes…”
Su Che couldn’t help but wonder, “The Evil Emperor wants me to quickly produce one million anti-demon pills for him, yet he throws me into this place of death row. What does he mean by this?”
Lao He guessed, “When the Heaven’s Will Void occurred, you threw that Evil Emperor’s Extreme Fire Gourd as the first item to be transformed into the furnace, and it failed. It’s obvious you didn’t value it at all… Could it be that this angered that old fellow, causing him to torment you in every possible way?”
“A supreme immortal would be so petty?”
Su Che wasn’t convinced. He thought to himself, “Forget it. Who can really guess the schemes of these immortals who have lived for countless years? As the saying goes, make the best of it. Since it’s a place of death row, killing here won’t be a mistake. I can capture some Xuan Immortals and turn them into my soul slaves.”
With the Qianyuan Xuan Formation providing a hundredfold enhancement, no matter how many Xuan Immortals came, they would be like food on a plate. As for whether he could deal with Golden Immortals, Su Che wasn’t entirely sure.
Should he give it a try?
If he really encountered Golden Immortal-level prisoners, he had to try, even if he didn’t want to…
Su Che attempted to activate the teleportation portal to the Immortal-Demon Battlefield, but it didn’t work. The tiny light dot representing the portal appeared briefly before dissipating like foam, unable to connect to the battlefield at all.
After trying more than a dozen times without success, Su Che had to give up.
“It’s not surprising. If teleportation portals could be opened easily, the true immortal prisoners in the Realm of Punishment would have long escaped.”
Su Che said to Lao He, “This space has been completely sealed off by the Evil Emperor Immortal using some method, cutting off all connection to the outside world.”
Lao He continued to speculate, “I guess that old fellow threw you here to force you to beg him for mercy through those prisoners, so you’d work desperately to make pills for him…”
Su Che didn’t want to think about it anymore. If the Evil Emperor wanted anti-demon pills, he’d just make them for him.
Considering the speed of the Creation Divine Tree and the pill-making speed in the three layers of the Fire Realm, it wouldn’t take ten days to produce 100,000 anti-demon pills, and just over three months for one million. Of course, unless forced, Su Che didn’t want to reveal his true pill-making capabilities. Instead, he would first make all the pills in the Immortal Prison and then delay as long as possible, not sending any messages to the Evil Emperor until the last moment.
“Playing around here in the Realm of Punishment for a while isn’t bad either.”
Su Che sat cross-legged within the Xuan Array, tilting his head with a smile.
……
Whether it was because the space in the Punishment Realm wasn’t very large or because there were many death row inmates imprisoned here, Su Che, waiting patiently in this valley, had already lured over twenty inmates with Xuanxian cultivation levels into his trap in just half a month.
Their thinking was the same: upon discovering someone hiding in the valley, they assumed that since this person could be found using array techniques, their cultivation level must be low, so they could simply go down and hunt them.
Once these guys fell into the maze, if Su Che wanted to act, he could defeat them with a single strike amplified a hundredfold; when he was too lazy to move, he would torment them to the brink of death using various killing arrays.
Now, dealing with these Xuanxians was a piece of cake, without any difficulty at all.
One day, a real challenge finally appeared—a streak of light rushed from the horizon and seemed about to fly over the valley before suddenly stopping mid-air.
“Mid-stage Golden Immortal!”
Through the detection and amplification of the Qianyuan Xuan Array, Su Che immediately determined this person’s cultivation level.
During the Human Immortal stage, it was indeed impossible to determine the depth of a Golden Immortal’s cultivation, but now that it was the Heavenly Immortal stage, even if it were a Great Luo Golden Immortal, he could tell.
“Who’s hiding here?”
The higher the Golden Immortal’s cultivation, the more cautious they became. Instead of rashly entering the array, they shouted from above, staying on high alert.
Su Che’s voice came through the array, calm and indifferent: “You’re just a passerby—why should you meddle in my affairs? This isn’t your territory.”
The Golden Immortal had three-foot-long beard and appeared quite imposing, not like the typical death row inmates Su Che had expected. After pausing briefly, he actually turned and left.
“Leaving already? Much noise, little action…”
Su Che was slightly surprised and muttered to himself, “No, it should be said there’s only thunder, no rain.”
As soon as this thought arose, something fell from the sky—of course, not rain, but…
A triangular magic artifact plummeted from high above. As it got closer, it suddenly transformed into a massive mountain, tens of thousands of feet tall.
The giant mountain crashed down!
“A top-tier magic artifact!”
Realizing its power, Su Che immediately pushed the protective effects of the Qianyuan Xuan Array to their limit.
Boom…
The giant mountain crashed down, its sharp corners pointing downward, delivering immense impact and penetration force, almost filling the entire valley.
Although the Qianyuan Xuan Array was sophisticated, it was primarily designed as a maze and killing array, not a defensive one—exactly the kind of attack it feared the most.
Boom… boom…
Severe impacts and violent tremors—exquisite magical artifacts controlled by a mid-stage Golden Immortal nearly crushed the Qianyuan Xuan Formation entirely.
Click, click, click…
The crystal giant at the center of the formation emitted a harsh grinding sound; it seemed as though its crystalline body was braving the force of an entire mountain.
Swish!
The mountain above instantly shrank to the size of a magic artifact one foot tall, soared high into the sky, and then crashed back down. Mid-air, it expanded back to tens of thousands of feet in size.
“It’s coming again!”
Su Che gritted his teeth, preparing for another impact.
Boom…
The second impact was even more forceful, causing the Qianyuan Xuan Formation to wobble precariously.
“Truly befitting a Golden Immortal—such sharp judgment, identifying the weakness of the Qianyuan Xuan Formation at a glance.”
Su Che also secretly praised the other person’s keen insight.
No matter how sophisticated a formation is, it has weaknesses. This method of breaking the formation struck right at its core. Unless someone also controlled the entire formation at the level of a Golden Immortal, they could ignore such impacts.
Since the opponent refused to enter the formation and instead used these large-scale magical artifacts for direct attacks, Su Che was forced to take the hits without any chance to counter.
“This won’t work. It seems I have to confront him head-on.”
Su Che knew this was a place of punishment. The condemned prisoners trapped here faced certain death every day. They wouldn’t reason with you—indeed, their minds were already twisted.
In the past half month, nearly thirty Xuan Immortals had been enslaved. Their mindset was simply: If I don’t kill you today, you’ll kill me tomorrow; kill everyone you see, no matter who they are—just survive day by day…
Then let’s fight head-on! Let’s see how powerful my hundred-fold enhancement really is!
Vum…
Inside the pale golden light sphere on the seventh layer of the Immortal Prison, another mighty force emerged.
With his strength amplified a hundredfold, Su Che’s confidence and fighting desire also surged a hundredfold.
Taking advantage of the mountain-like magic artifact rising again, Su Che quickly retracted the Qianyuan Formation disk. In a flash, he used teleportation to ascend high into the sky, scanned the surroundings, and roared, “Then come out!”
The bearded Golden Immortal, hidden somewhere in the air using invisibility, continued to control that exquisite magical artifact.
High in the sky, the triangular magical artifact vanished abruptly. Undoubtedly, it disappeared at the bearded Golden Immortal’s hidden location.
Sure enough, he soon revealed himself and asked Su Che in a deep voice, “What exactly is your cultivation level? Why do you seem like an Immortal yet also like a Golden Immortal?”
The so-called hundred-fold enhancement is just a rough description. Su Che’s strength increase is certainly not exactly one hundred times—it could even be several hundred times. This is because the tolerance of different aspects of the body varies; the mental essence can withstand hundreds of times the enhancement, the Demon God’s bones can handle thousands of times, while the Immortal Infant can only handle about one hundred times. Putting it all together makes it quite complex. For now, Su Che hasn’t come up with a specific figure. All he can say is that once he reaches the limit of this enhancement, it’s indeed possible he could pose a threat to certain Golden Immortals.
“Whatever my cultivation level, as long as I can beat you into oblivion, that’s enough.”
Su Che slowly clenched his fists, his entire body filled with a fierce aura, like an ancient beast that had been dormant for tens of thousands of years and was about to burst free from its cage. Suppressed, irritable, on the verge of eruption… This made the Bearded Golden Immortal sense an inexplicable danger. Even before engaging in direct combat, he could intuit that this strange guy definitely had the ability to harm him.
“Esteemed fellow cultivator, as you know, we are in the Realm of Punishment. We are originally…”
The Bearded Golden Immortal softened his tone, either to buy time or truly change his mind, clearly signaling a willingness to negotiate. But Su Che, driven by fierce combat lust, had no intention of listening to his nonsense. Since he had provoked me, let me see just how powerful my hundred-fold enhancement really is. Come on!
“Hah!”
With a fierce shout, Su Che charged forward, delivering another simple yet devastating punch. From the start, it was close-quarters combat—a brutal and straightforward fighting style that was extremely rare among immortals. For some reason, Su Che really liked this feeling. He had even asked himself: Could it be that I’m really suited to be a Witch Clan member?
Su Che’s speed was incredible, almost on par with the Great Instant Transmission technique. Covering just a few thousand feet in a fraction of a millionth of a second. With such speed, even if the Bearded Golden Immortal could dodge, he wouldn’t dare—because trying to evade would only expose his back to his opponent.
Swish!
The Bearded Golden Immortal waved his hand sharply, and two light gates appeared in front of and behind him, representing his defensive tactics. The Great Transformation Technique!
Su Che instantly recognized this technique. Back in the mortal world, that bitch Xue Yu had used it against him. Now, having mastered the Great Transformation Technique at an intermediate level after drawing upon the powers of tens of thousands of Heavenly Immortal prisoners, how could he possibly fail to recognize it?
“Bullshit!”
Su Che roared violently, as if driven mad by this ultimate art.
Boom!
His fist struck the portal of light in front of the Bearded Golden Immortal.
“Shatter!”
As his fist hit the portal, Su Che’s mind was filled with a roar: “I refuse to believe you can still transform my Chaos Power!”
The purest, most primal, and ultimate Chaos Power in the world—could a Golden Immortal have the ability to transform it? Did he even have the right to do so?
