Starting With 100 Million Lives

At first, Venerable Shang Lian dismissed it.

After all, Jiang Cheng’s realm is only Emperor Realm Ninth Layer late-stage.

The difference in power is too vast.

Wouldn’t this battle end up like playing around?

He even shouted towards the outside.

"You all saw it, he made the first move!"

What he meant was, in the future when the Law Enforcement Department comes, I am justified.

However, when he truly encountered the overwhelming Profound Patterns, roaring towards him like a meteor shower, he no longer had the leisure to speak.

Now, Jiang Cheng’s realm has significantly improved compared to before, and the power of these Profound Patterns attacks has increased accordingly.

Although still unable to match Shang Lian’s three Origins, it successfully held those three Origins firmly.

Some Profound Patterns even bypassed them and directly hit Venerable Shang Lian in the face, leaving him disheveled!

The Immortal Officials observing from afar were dumbfounded.

In their eyes, Jiang Cheng was just a Venerable.

A mere Venerable level, without even borrowed Origins.

Even if the Supreme stood still to let him hit, shouldn’t he be unable to break the defense?

The result was, not only did he hit the Supreme, but he also injured the Supreme...

This is simply unbelievable!

Venerable Shang Lian was furious!

Originally, he just planned to go through the motions, making Jiang Cheng bear the guilt of making the first move, eventually to be punished by the Law Enforcement Department.

But now, he found that if he doesn’t harbor the intent to kill, this battle might turn catastrophic.

Despite the opponent being merely a ’Venerable’.

He raised his intent to kill, and then, there was no ’then’.

An Ice Origin suddenly appeared in front of him.

That Origin was exceptionally robust.

So much so that Shang Lian’s first impression upon noticing it was... Is it fake?

How could a Venerable possibly have an Origin?

And such a stout one?

At this moment, Brother Cheng’s Ice Origin had already collided directly with his face.

Boom!

Venerable Shang Lian exploded entirely.

The Origin is unstoppable.

Moreover, the strength of Jiang Cheng’s Origin had already surpassed the Ultimate level.

After being struck, Shang Lian did not even have a chance to grunt before he transformed gloriously into fireworks.

His own three Origins also vanished into the void with his fall.

The intense battle erupted suddenly and ended abruptly.

As Jiang Cheng happily collected his spoils of war, all those observing were still in a state of stunned disbelief.

It’s over?

Venerable Shang Lian was killed?

Died at the hands of a Venerable?

How is this possible?

No!

Jiang Cheng is not just a Venerable!

How can any Venerable possess an Origin?

Wow!

The crowd in the distance suddenly erupted.

"Oh my god, Venerable Shang Lian is gone just like that?"

"This... this was an Ultimate level powerhouse!"

"God! The Supreme was killed in just a moment?"

"How strong must his power be?"

"Terrifying!"

"I never thought this person was this strong!"

The ladies, Bai Yan and Yue Zhi, who initially thought Jiang Cheng was reckless, also gathered around.

"Wow, Elder Jiang, you’re so strong!"

"To kill a Supreme so easily, it’s unbelievable!"

"Yes, and you only used one Ice Origin."

They assumed Jiang Cheng had more Origins but just didn’t use them.

Conceited Brother Cheng naturally wouldn’t reveal the truth.

Instead, he played along.

Deliberately spread his hands with a regretful face, "No way, I already held back my strength, and yet he was still so fragile."

"I thought he could pose even the slightest challenge to me."

Unfortunately, these female Immortals weren’t his previous show-off collaborators.

Instead of continuing with compliments, they began to worry again.

"We’re finished now."

"You killed Venerable Shang Lian, what now?"

"Venerable Shang Lian was a dignified Fifth-Grade Immortal Official!"

"This is really trouble, the Law Enforcement Department definitely won’t let this slide..."

"Yes, the situation has escalated!"

Just for killing a mount, it was severe, now having killed the mount’s master, one can only imagine the consequences.

Brother Cheng naturally had no worries.

He even had the leisure to stroll over to Nan Zhuo for a show.

"Oh, you chose the wrong side."

"I told you Brother is very stable, you should have stuck with me."

"Now he’s gone, did you bring him to his death?"

Among them, only Three-Eyed Tiger understood the weight of Brother Cheng’s words.

Those who followed this brother in the past each attained a chance to alter their destiny’s course.

No need to mention the Feixian Sect, they were directly enhanced in talent, going against fate.

The Lower Realm Ten Thousand Realms also broke the Immortal Realm’s blockade because of him, gaining unprecedented development opportunities.

The Demon Race stood by him, then the Demon Realm successfully defeated the Immortal Alliance Saint Hall.

The Profound Realm stood by him, then the Profound Realm successfully exterminated the Shadow Race.

This is also why Three-Eyed Tiger calls him Brother Jiang Sect Leader and can’t be driven away.

He knows very well following this brother means standing with fortune.

Even if accidentally killed, this brother can resurrect you.

Unfortunately, Nan Zhuo didn’t understand this principle.

She shook her head expressionlessly.

"Relying on strength to overpower everything, that’s the rule in the Evil Immortal Realm and Land of Dao Extinction."

"The Celestial Palace is a place with celestial regulations and laws."

"You killed a Fifth-Grade Immortal Official, it won’t end well for you."

"I only celebrate severing ties with you in time."

If facing Qiu Yuxuan, Brother Cheng might have been tempted to bet again.

But with Nan Zhuo, he felt no urge to propose a gamble.

He merely conjured a lounge chair and leisurely sat down.

Nan Zhuo was a bit taken aback.

"You’re not escaping?"

Not only her, but other onlookers were also puzzled.

In their view, Jiang Cheng had committed a grave crime, not escaping meant certain death.

If he escaped, though he would eventually be caught by the Law Enforcement Department, he could live a bit longer.

Brother Cheng leisurely exhaled a smoke ring, calmly saying, "The Law Enforcement Department wouldn’t dare touch me."

"Exactly, Brother Cheng has a backing, the Law Enforcement Department counts for nothing!" Three-Eyed Tiger exclaimed, blowing out a smoke ring alongside.

Nan Zhuo almost laughed.

And those outside observing Immortal Officials were similarly speechless.

Backing?

In such circumstances, no size of backing would be useful, right?

"Killed a Fifth-Grade Immortal Official, even if you were the son of the Law Enforcement Department Chief, you couldn’t escape punishment."

In their eyes, Jiang Cheng had no chance of escaping justice.

Beside him, Bai Yan, Yue Zhi, and others were already as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

But facing this seemingly unchangeable predicament, they couldn’t think of any solution.

Cannot persuade Jiang Cheng to flee.

Otherwise, they would really be seen as part of the gang.

And in the distance, a group of silhouettes quickly appeared.

They rushed to the scene urgently.

Upon seeing this group, the outer circle of Immortal Officials’ faces turned solemn, hastily retreating hundreds of miles.

Fearing they’d be mistaken as Jiang Cheng’s accomplices.

"Divine Thunder Bureau!"

"They’re the first ones on the scene?"

Bai Yan, Yue Zhi, and the others also changed expressions, growing more anxious.
