Starting With 100 Million Lives

Chapter 1282: Overdoing the Fire of Pretension

"What just happened?"

Fan Lei Daoist Venerable was equally puzzled.

He knew clearly that Jiang Cheng was definitely not a Daoist Saint.

Otherwise, Divine Monarch King Shi and King Lv wouldn’t have had such a vile attitude.

Besides, the Immortal Power Jiang Cheng wielded with those few sword strikes just now was still at an Ultimate Level; he was sure he hadn’t misjudged it.

Key point is, six Daoist Venerables, facing this level of Immortal Power, should find it almost impossible to die, right?

How did they end up mysteriously getting killed?

They didn’t even resist or evade before dying.

This just doesn’t make sense!

He couldn’t comprehend it.

But it wasn’t just him,

Daoist Venerable Lin Jing was scared silly.

He knew Brother Cheng would undoubtedly win, but winning so effortlessly and bizarrely was beyond his imaginations.

Finally, it was the Three-Eyed Tiger who broke the silence.

"Brother, that was incredible!"

"How did you pull it off?"

"Could it be because I transmitted power to you from outside the field just now?"

Brother Cheng scornfully glanced at the shameless Tiger Demon trying to steal some prestige.

Whoa, since when did you learn the bizarre ability to transmit power remotely?

I wasn’t aware!

"You had nothing to do with it; it was just because I performed an Enlightenment just now."

"Enlightenment?"

Everyone perked up their ears.

This was the first time they heard of such a term.

"Indeed, it’s a spiritual baptism, different from the Heart Rule..."

The entire crowd was taken aback by Brother Cheng’s bluff.

But the Three-Eyed Tiger, who knew him inside out, understood this brother was just pulling nonsense.

Failing to steal the spotlight, he felt rather displeased.

Deliberately mocking with a tone of Yin Yang Monster.

"Why haven’t I heard of such a skill? If it’s so powerful, why haven’t you used it before?"

Brother Cheng glared at this ’suddenly turned foe’ partner and laughed loudly.

"Good question. The reason I haven’t used it is because this ability is too overwhelming, and I’ve always been benevolent, unwilling to use it."

This statement made others on the sidelines roll their eyes.

Do you think we’re fools?

Daoist Venerable Lin Jing quickly followed up with flattery: "So what’s miraculous about this Enlightenment?"

"It’s simple. After their spirits were baptized, they fully realized their sins."

Indeed, the victory was so bizarre just now, but Jiang Cheng wouldn’t reveal his skills of deprivation.

He adeptly embellished his story while putting some metaphorical gold on his face.

"At the same time, they fully appreciated the charm of my personality, realizing how wrong and sinful it was to oppose me."

"To cleanse their souls and redeem their sinful lives, they chose to restart."

The Three-Eyed Tiger also blinked.

"Restart what?"

Brother Cheng replied indifferently: "It means they voluntarily gave up resisting, chose to die, and hopefully be a good person in the next life."

"Seeing them finally awaken, I felt at ease, so I fulfilled their wishes."

Splutter!

Countless people couldn’t help but spray water on the spot.

Do you think we’re three-year-olds?

Could you actually say such an absurd reason?

A moment ago, those six were eager to tear you apart, and in the next moment, they ’suddenly realized’?

Is there really such a thing?

However, upon closer reflection, it seemed that only this reason could explain the outcome of that battle just now.

Who could’ve guessed that at the time, six people suddenly lost their Immortal Power?

Six Daoist Venerables inexplicably mowed down.

In their view, it seemed that only self-sacrifice could explain it.

As everyone gradually realized this, they all expressed their fear.

"Does such a power actually exist in the world?"

"Enlightenment? Isn’t this brainwashing?"

"This power is too terrifying."

"So does this mean you can make anyone commit suicide?"

"Holy crap, how can this be defended against?"

"It’s frightening!"

Except for self-persons like the Three-Eyed Tiger and Daoist Venerable Lin Jing, others looked at Brother Cheng as if he were a source of plague, with deep caution and aversion.

Many even turned around and prepared to run at any moment.

Afraid that a mere glance with Brother Cheng would make them fall into his spell.

Then they’d give themselves a fatal cut.

Yan Yi even lowered his head and closed his eyes, using his Divine Soul to block the surrounding perception.

This made Brother Cheng deeply wounded.

The pretending worked, but the cheers were gone!

It was overboard; he nearly scared people away.

He had to remedy the situation.

"Ahem, actually, this Enlightenment has its limitations too."

"As long as there’s a little bit of Divine Soul or Rule left, it’s hard to be enlightened."

He spread his hands: "What happened just now was purely coincidental, as those things happened to be blocked outside, it’s self-inflicted by them."

With him saying that, others finally sighed in relief.

Then an avalanche of praise surged from the Mowu Sect’s side, entering the familiar rhythm.

"Jiang Sect Leader, you’re incredible!"

"Jiang Sect Leader displayed divine might, the greatest Celestial Venerable in history!"

"Jiang Sect Leader turned the tide, singlehandedly winning the challenge."

"Jiang Sect Leader eradicated the evil, took down the Heaven-breaking Alliance!"

But on the Wuding Palace’s side, it was as if they were mourning a loss, thoroughly despairing.

The allies they called seemed nearly wiped out.

The only one left, Silver Quan Daoist Venerable...

Hey, where did Silver Quan Daoist Venerable go?

Only at this moment did everyone realize that this old man actually slipped away early, risking retreat penalties.

In fact, Silver Quan Daoist Venerable didn’t entirely flee to avoid Jiang Cheng.

After the Heaven-breaking Alliance entered the scene, he had already run away.

He very well knew that even if the Heaven-breaking Alliance won, there wouldn’t be any benefits for him; there might even be silencing.

His escape only earned some scorn from the others but didn’t stir much uproar.

Brother Cheng glanced toward the distant sky, still not seeing the legendary Yuan Ke Daoist Saint, feeling a bit disappointed.

Could something unexpected have happened on the opponent’s side?

He could only redirect his focus on Wuding Palace.

"Alright, who’s next?"

Another one?

Daoist Venerable Zhiyan and the remaining Right Guardian of Wuding Palace were speechless.

After taking on six, how could they fight him?

It was almost insane.

The two exchanged looks and then obediently, the Sect Leader of Wuding Palace raised the Challenge Order.

"We at Wuding Palace surrender."

With his statement, Wuding Palace officially lost this challenge.

And on the scene, all Wuding Palace disciples trembled as they received the punishment of losers by the Rules of Heaven and Earth.

Some disciples collapsed on the spot, some spat out blood, and others turned pale.

This so-called challenge was, in essence, an attack on another sect.

Failure naturally came at a cost.

Daoist Venerable Lin Jing didn’t hesitate either and immediately waved his hand.

The elders and disciples from Mowu Sect flew ahead, capturing all the severely damaged opposing sect members, sealing their Immortal Power.

Facing these actions, Daoist Venerable Zhiyan only gave a helpless glance at Jiang Cheng before ultimately resigning to his fate.
