Chapter 892: Flogging a God
More than a hundred Violet Palace cultivators!
They were all dead!
The Earth Immortal\'s eyes were almost going to pop out of their sockets in sheer anger. Even if he went back, how was he going to explain this?
Even Huang Wuji was so shocked that he inadvertently eased the pressure, which gave the Earth Immortal an opening to run.
"Where do you think you\'re going!?" Yiyi shouted. She had already selected which treasures to detonate, the branches throwing various weapons along with things like pots, books, and zithers at the Earth Immortal. First came four that surrounded the Earth Immortal and exploded, and then another four at the center, their shockwaves rippling through the fabric of space and neutralizing any potential escape arts. Finally, another four treasures once more surrounded the site of the explosion, hardening the fabric of space and slowing down anyone who tried to fly through the area.
These twelve divine treasures weren\'t meant to kill the enemy, only to hinder and obstruct.
Another thirty-six divine treasures flew out, and Tang Jie thrust out his finger, placing them in specific locations to assemble a formation that fully locked down the area and ensured that the Earth Immortal couldn\'t escape.
Although such a hasty formation had far too many flaws, Tang Jie didn\'t mind. He had so many divine treasures that he could put in a replacement if any of them broke.Once this was done, Yiyi began to choose treasures.
Rather than grabbing them by bunches, she began to carefully analyze which ones should be sacrificed, ranking them by their function, quality, and necessity.
Even the rich had to be scrupulous with their wealth.
On the other end, Tang Jie took out the Myriad Yin Yang Furnace.
The sight of another 108 divine treasures gathering their power into a single ray of divine light almost gave Huang Wuji a heart attack. This kid seemed to have more treasures than even the Bejeweled Star Lord. Two hundred divine treasures! It was enough to scare one to death.
As the Myriad Yin Yang Furnace focused its energy on that Earth Immortal, he began to experience a new kind of suffering. Although it wasn\'t as instantaneously dangerous as a divine treasure detonation, the constant damage meant that it was just as threatening over the long term.
This ray focusing on the Earth Immortal was the equivalent of a single divine treasure exploding at every passing moment.
The Earth Immortal couldn\'t stand this beating and tried his best to escape. Alas, the formation and Huang Wuji worked together to keep him there. He began to consume his Immortal energy to try and force his way through. Boom! His collision against the formation caused one of the divine treasures making up the formation to explode, and the Earth Immortal was caught up in the resulting explosion. But he ignored the damage and rushed into the gap.
However, Yiyi had already chosen the next divine treasure to be sacrificed. Xu Miaoran delivered it to the gap, and a wave of Tang Jie\'s finger added it to the formation, closing the opening.
The Earth Immortal\'s attempt to break out had failed.
He tried several more times, but Tang Jie and company used the same method to stop him.
The Earth Immortal, his efforts to escape having been thwarted again and again, despaired and began to beg. "My fellow Daoists, it was this one who was wrong. This one is willing to pay compensation, so there\'s no need to take things too far."
If you can\'t win, run, and if you can\'t run, beg! Tang Jie had seen this sequence many times, and he simply laughed. "Brother Huang, don\'t show any mercy. This person belongs to the Heaven\'s Equal Sect, so we have to keep today\'s matter a secret. Otherwise, word will spread, and both of us will be hunted down."
"I know that," Huang Wuji laughed. In the past, Huang Wuji would have thought Tang Jie was being rude in calling him "Brother Huang", going beyond what was proper given their friendship. But after Tang Jie had singlehandedly blown up an Earth Immortal, Huang Wuji felt like Tang Jie could call him anything he wanted.
He had the right.
The Earth Immortal wailed, "You won\'t die a good death!"
As he cried out, a majestic will began to fill the world.
Huang Wuji said, "Be careful! He\'s using his Primal Divinity Transmission to notify the two sects."
Primal Divinity Transmission could instantly cover vast distances, which was how Earth Immortals could know what was going on throughout the world without ever leaving their homes.
Tang Jie coldly replied, "It\'s not like I\'ve never interacted with Earth Immortals before. You think everything I laid down was just for show?"
He flicked a finger, and the 36 divine treasures began to resonate, shaking the fabric of space and creating a powerful storm that could grind up the Primal Divinity. While the Earth Immortal\'s Primal Divinity was strong, outside the protection of the Immortal body, it was scattered in the wind and ground to pieces, unable to get out even the smallest bit of information.
Tang Jie even used this chance to counterattack, a thrust of his finger dealing the Primal Divinity a heavy blow that made him wail in pain. "Ah! The God Flogging Finger… How do you know that…"
"Hmph, the inexperienced find everything strange and new," Tang Jie replied in disdain.
This God Flogging Finger wasn\'t a spell art, but rather the exploitation of a temporary weakness.
Tang Jie originated from a major sect and had interacted a lot with an Earth Immortal, and he had also been personally instructed by a Boundless Gold Immortal, so when it came to cultivation experience, he was on par with or even outdid members of the Stellar Net Gate and Heaven\'s Equal Sect. After all, while these two sects also had Boundless Gold Immortals, they weren\'t so idle as to personally instruct disciples every day.
Tang Jie had been instructed by Yun Tianlan and Immortal Ji Yao and also had real combat experience against an Earth Immortal when he destroyed Godhead Palace, so he had already had a foundation to work from. Thus, while that Earth Immortal\'s Primal Divinity Transmission had only a few small openings, he was able to find them, and the Celestial Eye was able to grasp the right moment for him to strike.
As the Earth Immortal\'s head was wracked with pain from the injury to his Primal Divinity, Tang Jie attacked.
The 108 divine treasures of the Myriad Yin Yang Furnace unleashed their light.
Tang Jie had carefully selected these 108 divine treasures, the worst of them being of middle grade. At full power, it was like 108 Violet Palace experts armed with divine weapons descending on a single enemy. The beam of light blasted through the Earth Immortal\'s defenses and slammed into the Earth Immortal, and while it didn\'t obliterate him, it did leave him badly injured.
Huang Wuji followed with a strike from the ruler.
This time, the Earth Immortal had nothing to defend himself with, and he was obliterated.
Whew! The pair exhaled.
With this first death, everything became much easier.
Like with many things, the first time was the most difficult, but once that was done, the second and third times became much easier.
As their opponent began to reform his Immortal body, Tang Jie casually said, "Thankfully, he\'s not a True Immortal. The Primal Divinity of a True Immortal is even stronger, able to flee with their Immortal energy instead of being reborn on the spot, so spawn camping isn\'t as easy."
Huang Wuji found this term both strange and amusing. "I didn\'t think that Young Brother would understand so much about the tiers of Immortal Platform."
Ordinary people only knew that those at Immortal Platform were Immortals, not of how the soul was made a God and the body was made an Immortal, let alone about this secret linked to the slaying of Immortals.
Tang Jie smiled. "There are benefits to having seniors at home."
Although Tang Jie had basically fought for all his achievements, he had to admit that he had learned a lot from Basking Moon, which made him very different from wandering cultivators.
Still, there was something that Tang Jie didn\'t understand quite yet.
He asked, "Big Brother Huang, your young brother is still confused about something."
"Go ahead and ask. Your brother will answer if he can," Huang Wuji said with a smile.
As Tang Jie was about to speak, he saw that the Earth Immortal was about to revive, so he had the Myriad Yin Yang Furnace unleash its full power while Huang Wuji swung the jade ruler.
The Earth Immortal was slain once more.
Tang Jie then said, "I heard Brother Huang talk about a pseudo–Dao armament just now. What\'s the difference between a real Dao armament and a pseudo–Dao armament?"
Huang Wuji was surprised by the question. "How is it that you know about the Primal Divinity\'s weak spot at the moment of transmission but don\'t even know about real and pseudo–Dao armaments? Are you not from the Vast Wilderness Continent?"
Tang Jie nodded. "Indeed."
Huang Wuji heartily laughed. "No wonder I\'ve never heard of Brother Tang\'s name. Otherwise, given that Brother Tang can kill an Earth Immortal at Soul Projection, even if it was with some tricks, you should have been renowned throughout the world by now."
Glancing at Yiyi\'s tree of treasures, he bitterly smiled. "\'Killed a few\'… Young Brother, you really know how to talk."
Tang Jie laughed. "I was just being modest."
Huang Wuji almost fell from the sky at the shamelessness of this reply. In the middle of his mental turmoil, the Earth Immortal finished reviving, so he swung the ruler again. The Earth Immortal managed to barely block the attack, so Huang Wuji thrust out his left hand, striking the Earth Immortal with a golden light that pulverized his body. In a one-on-one, Earth Immortals found it very difficult to kill each other in one strike, even if one of them was spawn camping the other. Otherwise, there would be no point in even attempting revival. While Huang Wuji\'s strike seemed simple, it was actually one of his more powerful moves.
Drawing back his hand, Huang Wuji finally said, "Kid, you seem honest, but you\'re actually very cunning and shrewd. However, I like that about you. As for real and pseudo–Dao armaments, it\'s a way of ranking Dao armaments in the Vast Wilderness Continent. Here, Dao armaments are sorted into three categories: pseudo–Dao armaments, artificial Dao armaments, and natural Dao armaments. These three categories are further divided into three levels…"
