Chapter 1281: An Overly Easy Victory
Jiang Cheng’s words were naturally not believed by Daoist Venerable Hao Yun.
"Trying to be mysterious!"
"Do you still want us to change some restrictions?"
He sneered coldly, "Not to mention it’s impossible to do so before the end of the challenge, even if it were possible, do you think we would be foolish enough to fall for it?"
Now within this challenge space, Jiang Cheng’s Immortal Power Cultivation was fully displayed.
It was indeed at the Supreme level, far from comparable to the few of them.
There was no fakery involved.
"Stop talking nonsense with him, the longer the night, the more dreams!"
"Kill him!"
The other Daoist Venerables of the Heaven-breaking Alliance couldn’t wait any longer.
Daoist Venerable Qinglu waved his hand heavily, and the next moment, the six of them almost simultaneously surged with Immortal Power and charged forward.
In their strike, there was no aura of any rules.
For that reason, advanced Immortal Techniques and Martial Techniques couldn’t be used either.
Because those Immortal Techniques and Martial Techniques couldn’t avoid involving the Divine Soul of the rules.
Under such circumstances, combat became very primitive.
A bit like Lower Realm Celestial Fate Daoist Palace realm cultivators, invoking a massive amount of Daoist Venerable level Immortal Power to launch simple attacks.
Confronted with the overwhelming Immortal Power of six people, Brother Cheng did not rush to meet them directly.
His Immortal Power was indeed only equivalent to the Supreme level, which was due to his deep foundation; his actual cultivation realm was just at the Celestial Venerable level.
At this moment, if he were to fight, he could only launch simple attacks.
Engaging would lead to certain death.
Therefore, he unhesitatingly used a system skill.
No matter how strong this challenge space was, it couldn’t lock the system, after all, that was something even the Heavenly Dao couldn’t do.
This time, he used a skill he had never used before - Deprivation.
The Deprivation skill can consume Immortal Yuan Points to temporarily deprive the opponent of a certain ability.
This ability could be a kind of Immortal Technique, a certain Swordsmanship, some Divine Technique, or a Bloodline Secret Technique.
It could also be rules, a mental realm, a Divine Soul, or Immortal Power.
As long as it is an ability usable in battle, it can be deprived.
However, the system’s Deprivation skill is relatively ’gentle,’ as it can only deprive one ability at a time.
Unlike the comprehensive restrictions of the Emperor Sword Star, nor like the multiple locks of the Hundred Battle Order.
Brother Cheng pondered that in this challenge space, everything else was locked, leaving only Immortal Power, so he decided not to use it either.
He directly targeted the six people with Deprivation of Immortal Power.
Swish, swish, swish, swish...
The system’s efficiency was extremely fast.
At the moment he activated it, the storm of Immortal Power in the sky suddenly vanished completely.
Immediately, the six Daoist Venerables, who had been floating in mid-air relying on Immortal Power, suddenly became unstable and almost fell from the air.
Luckily, their Immortal Bodies were still present, otherwise, they might not have been able to maintain their suspension in the void.
Brother Cheng activated his Supreme-level Immortal Power and didn’t display any swordsmanship.
He simply executed an ordinary overhead slash.
With one sword, the front-facing Daoist Venerable Hao Yun was cleaved in two, the scene becoming briefly brutal.
There was no choice; although the system’s Deprivation skill is ’gentle,’ depriving only one ability, it is unidirectional.
It only targets the objective.
Jiang Cheng, as the host, would not be deprived of Immortal Power.
The six Daoist Venerables, already locked in rules, Divine Soul, mental realm, Heroic Soul, bloodline, and a series of abilities, now deprived of Immortal Power, only had their Immortal Bodies left.
Facing Profound Immortal Golden Immortal or even the Emperor Realm, they could still remain intact.
After all, the Immortal Body is strong enough that opponents with too low a realm can’t break their defense.
But to Brother Cheng, who possessed Supreme-level Immortal Power, these Daoist Venerables were no different from ordinary people.
The long sword turned, sweeping horizontally in a fan shape.
The four Daoist Venerables from left to right were cut in half at the waist.
Without Immortal Power, although their vision and experience remained, and their minds could react, their bodies couldn’t keep up.
There was no time to even make evasive actions; they could only look on with terror and despair as they were swept away.
Then, they uniformly fell down.
"No..."
Daoist Venerable Qinglu’s expression went out of control, completely unable to believe what was happening before him.
It wasn’t supposed to be this way!
Six Daoist Venerables besieging one Celestial Venerable, it should have been them tearing Jiang Cheng to shreds, right?
How could it be that they were counter-killed?
And killed so effortlessly, it was practically like mowing grass.
He already realized where the problem lay.
His own Immortal Power had suddenly vanished earlier.
But how could that be possible?
How could such a thing happen?
He looked at Jiang Cheng with a face full of collapse, seemingly trying to find an answer from him.
Also seemingly wanting him to stop and spare his life.
But Brother Cheng didn’t give him that chance.
Scrape!
The last sword pierced straight through the throat of Daoist Venerable Qinglu, leaving him no chance to speak his last words.
The battle started extremely quickly and ended even faster.
So smoothly it was unbelievable.
Even Jiang Cheng himself had to marvel, this skill was truly heaven-defying, allowing him to fight the easiest battle of his life.
Without Immortal Power, the vast majority of immortals would become weaklings, naturally easy to defeat.
And the price he paid was enormous.
To execute Deprivation, Brother Cheng instantly expended 14 billion Immortal Yuan Points.
Each Daoist Venerable cost him 2 to 3 billion depending on their strength.
But he didn’t lose out.
After defeating the six, he received the rule gift of victory.
The progress of the Profound Pattern improved by these six nearly saved him over 20 billion Immortal Yuan Points.
If it were a Daoist Saint, the Deprivation skill’s consumption would probably be no less than 40 to 50 billion.
After all, the deprivation target had too high a realm.
And if it were the Celestial Emperor, I’m afraid it would take several hundred billion to succeed.
Additionally, against the Celestial Emperor, just depriving Immortal Power might still not ensure a win.
"It’s time for the pleasant part of reaping the spoils again."
With the six Daoist Venerables dead in battle, he unceremoniously accepted their personal Daoist artifacts and storage rings.
A quick probe almost made him laugh out loud.
Perhaps because the Heaven-breaking Alliance had gained so much over the years, the resources collected by these six Daoist Venerables were overly abundant.
In addition to these standard gains, the ’Hundred Battle Order’ naturally fell into his hands.
He toyed with it for a moment, then looked up again.
Everyone outside had already turned to stone.
What had just happened?
The supposed six against one, the supposedly embarrassing use of Immortal Power only, and the supposedly easy victory?
It was indeed an easy victory, but the roles of the victor and vanquished were reversed.
The six Daoist Venerables couldn’t utter a sound before dying.
Thus, no one knew they had suddenly lost their Immortal Power at the end.
In their eyes, the six initially used Daoist Venerable level Immortal Power.
But for some unknown reason, it’s as if they were mown down like vegetables, eradicated by Jiang Cheng in a rather shallow manner.
"How could this happen?"
Daoist Venerable Zhiyan’s eyes were filled with terror.
To kill six Daoist Venerables so effortlessly, could this man actually be stronger than a Daoist Saint?
