Chapter 1924 Suppression, Heaven of Flames!
Chapter 1924 Suppression, Heaven of Flames!
And at this very moment...
The once prosperous and orderly Zhenhai Immortal City was quickly dragged into a chaotic hell of burning, killing, and looting.
Flames began to rise on some buildings.
Thick smoke billowing,
It adds to the apocalyptic atmosphere.
Human greed and ugliness are exposed in the moment they lose strong constraints.
Just as the chaos reached its peak, and more and more cultivators, blinded by greed, joined this mad feast—
"Om-!"
At the edge of the bottomless, terrifyingly powerful crater in the city center, the void suddenly twisted silently.
next moment,
A majestic figure, dressed in a simple blue robe and not particularly tall, yet seemingly capable of supporting the heavens and the earth, appeared in mid-air without warning.
His face was calm, his eyes as deep as the starry sky.
He simply stood there quietly, and an invisible yet vast and terrifying pressure emanated from him, like a sleeping dragon awakening, slowly spreading out and enveloping the entire Zhenhai Immortal City.
This is precisely Cheng Buzheng—
Or, to put it another way, it is another avatar that descended simultaneously with the original body and stayed behind in Zhenhai Immortal City to handle the follow-up matters.
Standing in mid-air, Cheng Buzheng's Dharma body calmly looked down at the chaotic and besieged immortal city below.
Watching those cultivators frantically attacking the shop's formation and fighting and plundering each other for a little resource...
His deep eyes remained largely unmoved.
He only furrowed his brow almost imperceptibly.
Immediately, a calm yet supremely majestic voice, clearly penetrating every corner of the immortal city and reaching the depths of every cultivator's soul, resounded:
"stop."
The sound wasn't loud, but it was like a thunderclap from the heavens, exploding directly in the minds of all the cultivators.
"If they dare to fight and plunder within the Immortal City again..."
"You will bear the consequences."
"boom--!"
The moment the words fell...
The oppressive aura that had been slowly spreading suddenly surged!
A vast spiritual pressure, as tangible as reality, poured down from the heavens like billions of tons of seawater overflowing.
It indiscriminately enveloped every inch of the immortal city and every living being!
this moment,
The air froze.
The sound disappeared.
Even the burning flames seemed to freeze for a moment.
Throughout the immortal city, cultivators were attacking formations, vying for treasures, or preparing to make their move...
Regardless of their cultivation level, all of them experienced a violent tremor, as if struck by lightning!
The magical artifacts in their hands and the spells they were preparing froze instantly, the violent spiritual energy backfiring on them.
Many people groaned, blood trickling from the corners of their mouths.
A fear originating from the level of life itself, from absolute power, like a cold, venomous snake, instantly coiled around their hearts and gripped their souls!
They stiffly and laboriously turned their necks, looking towards the source of the oppressive aura and the sound—
Above the city center, the figure in the green robe stood silently, like a pillar supporting the sky.
For example, the god of judgment,
He was looking down at them indifferently.
"It's...it's the student council president?!"
"The chairman didn't leave?! He's been in the city the whole time?!"
"It's over... With the president back, that powerful enemy who launched the sneak attack will surely be defeated!"
us……"
"Stop! Stop right now!"
Put away your magical artifacts and conceal your aura!
"Run! Now's the time—"
Under the dual impact of overwhelming pressure and the fear of death, the vast majority of cultivators instantly regained their senses.
The greed in my heart was extinguished by the ice water.
They frantically stopped their attack, put away their magical weapons, and retreated in terror, wishing they could shrink into the ground.
They were afraid of attracting the slightest attention from the being above.
however,
Greed can cloud judgment; this has been true since ancient times.
There are always some desperate people who are completely consumed by greed, or who think they can get away with it because they are in a remote corner. Under the temptation of huge profits and the illusion that "the law does not punish the masses", they choose to take risks.
In the northwest of the immortal city, deep in a relatively secluded alley.
In front of a lavishly decorated shop with a plaque reading "Yun Jin Ge" hanging above its entrance...
Several cultivators, their faces covered with black cloths and all at the mid-to-late Foundation Establishment stage, launched a final, fierce attack on the crumbling third-tier defensive formation.
The array's light barrier flickered violently, its brightness constantly shifting.
It is clearly about to break.
Haha! Keep it up!
The tortoise shell will break immediately!
A tall, masked monk growled excitedly.
"quick!
The cloud-patterned brocade and ice silkworm silk inside are top-quality materials for crafting magical robes, and are extremely valuable!
The other person urged, his eyes bloodshot.
Just then, Cheng Buzheng's voice and imposing aura enveloped the entire city.
The group froze simultaneously, their faces showing fear.
"Dao...Brother Dao!"
The tall cultivator's voice trembled as he looked at the masked man in a blue robe who exuded a calm and collected aura.
"The president...the president has appeared!"
"Should we...should we leave?"
"withdraw?"
Before the man in the green robe could answer, a masked cultivator in black robes beside him spoke sharply.
"The formation is about to break!"
Retreat now, and all our previous efforts will be in vain!
"Wouldn't all the formation-breaking talismans and precious items we used be wasted?"
"Fellow Daoist Wang is right!"
The other person spoke very quickly, trying to remain calm as they analyzed the situation.
"The Zhenhai Immortal City is so vast that it is comparable to a continent!"
This place is so remote that even if the guild leader has extraordinary abilities, it will take time to suppress the unrest in the entire city!
We've broken the formation, can quickly loot the area, and then flee immediately. We have enough time!
These words eased the fear in the eyes of the others, and greed regained its dominance.
Even the tall, imposing cultivator showed a hint of interest.
The masked man in the green robe, who was in the lead, had a glint in his eye as he quickly weighed his options.
Hearing the faint sounds of fighting that had ceased due to the oppressive force in the distance, and looking at the wealth that was within his grasp,
A fierce glint flashed in his eyes as he made his decision:
Fortune favors the bold!
Since everyone agrees, let's hold nothing back and break the formation with all our might!
After succeeding, immediately disperse and retreat, then regroup at the usual spot!
"Let's do it!"
As soon as he finished speaking,
With no more reservations, the group unleashed their strongest magical artifacts and talismans at the already weakened array light barrier.
"Boom—!"
The array's light barrier shattered instantly!
Just as a look of wild joy appeared on their faces—
"Stubborn and obstinate".
High in the sky, Cheng Buzheng's indifferent gaze seemed to pierce through layers of buildings, landing precisely on this secluded alleyway and on these masked cultivators.
In the depths of his lowered eyes, a chilling light shone, like ancient ice shattering.
"Seek death."
He didn't make any complicated movements.
He simply raised his right hand slowly, spread his five fingers, and gently grasped at the empty space below.
"Om-"
Within a radius of a thousand miles, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged wildly.
Like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, they converged into his palm!
Endless points of light were forcibly extracted and compressed from the void.
The Daoist aura of intense heat, destruction, and the burning of all things permeated the air.
In an instant,
A lotus flower, no bigger than a fist, yet seemingly formed from pure golden flame laws, appeared faintly above his palm and slowly rotated.
Each time the lotus petals opened and closed, the surrounding space twisted violently, creating ripples of melting light.
The terrifying heat caused buildings in a large area below to spontaneously combust!
Cheng Buzheng flicked his finger lightly at the golden fire lotus.
"go."
The golden fire lotus floated out, leaving the palm of the hand in an instant—
"boom!!!"
A silent explosion, yet more soul-stirring than thunder!
The tiny fire lotus suddenly expanded and exploded, transforming into billions of tiny, yet dazzling, golden flames.
Like the first ray of light at the beginning of the universe,
In an instant, it filled the entire sky above Zhenhai Immortal City, as far as the eye could see!
The sky turned golden.
It wasn't the glow of dawn.
It is a burning, boiling sky of flames containing endless destructive power!
An unimaginable heatwave suddenly descended!
Centered on Cheng Buzheng, the air within a radius of hundreds of miles was completely evaporated, forming an absolute vacuum and high-temperature domain.
Beneath this golden rain of fire, the void...
Like a lake surface tossed with pebbles, it violently and extensively twists, folds, and melts!
This area has been completely transformed into a purgatory of flames and destruction!
Let alone Golden Core cultivators, even ordinary Nascent Soul True Monarchs who fall into this place will be incinerated into nothingness in an instant if they do not have a supreme treasure to protect them!
"fall."
With a single, indifferent word from Cheng Buzheng.
The endless rain of golden flames that filled the sky and slowly rotated began to move.
It was not chaotic, but rather seemed to possess life and will.
It precisely locked onto the aura of every cultivator within the Immortal City who was still attacking, plundering, and disobeying the "decree".
Like billions of tiny golden meteors, carrying the judgment to purify everything, they fell silently and swiftly toward their respective targets!
In front of "Yun Jin Ge" (Cloud Brocade Pavilion).
Several masked cultivators, having just shattered the formation, were overjoyed and about to rush towards the wide-open shop door.
"It's done! Fast forward—"
"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" "Swoosh!"...
A faint sound, like flames scorching the air, rang out.
One point, two points, three points...
The dazzling golden light spots, as if they possessed life, ignored the distance and appeared out of thin air in the vital areas between their eyebrows, chests, and dantian.
"Do not--!!!"
The masked cultivator in the green robe who was in the lead only had time to let out a short, desperate roar before his pupils were completely filled with a point of dazzling golden light.
next moment,
The moment the golden light touched it—
There was no earth-shattering explosion, no horrific scene of flying blood and flesh.
Like molten iron dripping onto snow.
Several Foundation Establishment cultivators, along with their clothes, magical artifacts, and storage bags,
Even the bloodstains on their feet, the lingering magical energy in the air...
Everything, whether tangible or intangible, vanished completely the instant it came into contact with that golden flame.
Instead of burning to ashes,
Rather, it is the most thorough erasure, from matter to energy to the very traces of existence—erasure.
In its place, only a few slightly distorted, smooth, shallow pits remained, resembling melted glass.
And the lingering, soul-chilling extreme heat in the air.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
From the moment Cheng Buzheng made his move until these violators were completely wiped out, less than a tenth of a breath had passed.
A similar scene...
Throughout the Immortal City, in those corners where attacks and plundering still raged, the same scenes played out simultaneously.
Whether it's a Qi Refining cultivator hiding in the shadows, preparing to ambush their companion,
It was still the Golden Core gang, in groups of three to five, besieging a medium-sized chamber of commerce warehouse.
Or perhaps it's some Nascent Soul cultivator who, confident in their superior cultivation, conceals their aura and prepares to ambush and kill a lone individual...
As long as they continue to cause trouble under Cheng Buzheng's divine sense, without exception.
A flash of golden light appeared.
Then, existence was erased.
Clean, efficient, and ruthless.
Like a deity sweeping away the dust.
The entire suppression process, from Cheng Buzheng opening his mouth to the blooming of the golden fire lotus and the falling rain of light...
All those who defied him vanished in less than a breath.
Within the immortal city, the boiling sounds of fighting, explosions, wild laughter, and screams... came to an abrupt halt.
Instead, there was a deathly silence.
And countless pairs of dazed eyes filled with extreme shock, fear, lingering dread, and relief.
"..."
"hiss--!"
After a brief silence...
The faint hissing sound of people gasping for air echoed throughout the immortal city, coalescing into a sea of fear.
The cultivator who managed to stop felt ice-cold all over, his clothes were instantly soaked with cold sweat, and his legs went weak, making him almost unable to stand.
Looking at the empty ground not far away, marked only by the traces of glass-like crystal, they recalled their greed and impulsiveness just now, and boundless fear overwhelmed them like a tidal wave.
"What...what kind of flame is that?"
Such domineering...so incredibly domineering!
"In an instant!"
At the late stage of Foundation Establishment, utterly powerless to resist, he simply... simply vanished?!
Not even ashes were left!
"My Daoist master above... I, if I hadn't stopped just now..."
"Transformation into a Divine Being... Is this the supreme power of a Transformation into a Divine Being?"
In the blink of an eye, heaven and earth joined forces, suppressing the entire city!
Terrifying! Terrifying!
"This is terrifying... This is practically divine punishment!"
An irresistible divine punishment!
Countless cultivators were terrified; their awe of the green-robed figure high in the sky instantly reached its peak.
It also left a deep mark of fear.
"Humph."
High in the sky, Cheng Buzheng's Dharma body seemed to have done nothing more than a trivial matter.
He dispersed the golden flames that filled the sky, and the destructive heat quickly subsided.
But the lingering heat and oppressive pressure in the air still made it suffocating.
His indifferent gaze swept over the countless cultivators below who were frozen in fear, and his calm yet undeniable voice once again resounded throughout the heavens and earth:
"Within the Immortal City, private duels and flying are prohibited."
"During the extraordinary circumstances of the past, there were extenuating circumstances, and we will not hold those past transgressions against you."
"From this moment forward, anyone who disobeys..."
He paused, not mentioning the consequences, but everyone understood the chilling killing intent in his unfinished words.
"—Execute on the spot without pardon."
As soon as he finished speaking,
Those cultivators who had originally taken to the air, preparing to escape the immortal city in their escape light,
Like ducks scalded by fire, they hastily activated their escape techniques, landing awkwardly on the streets or rooftops below.
He quickly concealed his presence and blended into the crowd.
They dared not make the slightest move.
"Furthermore, those who wish to leave the city may do so in an orderly manner through the four city gates, without crowding or trampling, and without taking the opportunity to cause trouble."
Cheng Buzheng deeply understood the principle that it is better to guide than to block.
Under this intense pressure, the panicked public needs an outlet to vent their frustrations.
He then said loudly:
"All survivors belonging to the Zhenhai Immortal City Cultivator Association, please immediately appear to maintain order at the four city gates and the main roads within the city."
Guide the monks to evacuate in an orderly manner and suppress any signs of unrest.
"···"
