Chapter 564: The Earth Immortal Monster Is Here—And It Just Blew Up

Since the world collision, the Earthly Immortal monster had lost its direction. The Immortal Realm hadn’t recalled it, leaving it to drift aimlessly through the cosmos.

It drifted for several years, still finding no trace of Jingyu World or any other world.

During this period, its body transformed uncontrollably, shifting randomly between forms—sometimes becoming a werewolf, sometimes a tall woman with limbs like thin sticks, sometimes a two-headed monster, and sometimes a muscular flesh ball.

Then one day, a crack appeared before it. On the other side lay a world it yearned to destroy, so enticing that it called out to the monster.

Every world with life was its target.

It had forgotten everything except its mission—to kill.

It had just taken one step and let out a roar when someone pinned it down firmly, leaving it completely immobilized.

What was happening?

It wanted to unleash its Earthly Immortal might as usual, sweeping everything before it, but it discovered an invisible force surrounding it, completely suppressing its power.

Jiang Li naturally wouldn’t let it strike. This place was full of ordinary people who couldn’t withstand an Earthly Immortal’s pressure.

“Once a peerless genius, now reduced to this state.” Jiang Li looked at the two heads and shook his head gently.

Just as he was considering how to kill the two-headed monster, the crack in the sky shrank, transforming into runes that flowed into the two-headed monster’s body.

Instinct told Jiang Li this wasn’t a good sign. He applied a bit more force and crushed the two-headed monster.

The runes transformed into countless glowing feathers that scattered across the world. Not understanding the meaning of these runes, Jiang Li completely annihilated every last one of them.

“The merit power from this is clearly less than when I killed the Executor of Honghu.”

…

“President, our capital chain has broken! The company is already in deficit! We really can’t continue building roads! If this goes on, you’ll squander every last bit of the inheritance your father left you!” The secretary pleaded desperately with the president, begging him to stop spending money recklessly.

Road construction took a long time with slow returns. After winning the bid, the president had actually used all the company’s assets to build roads.

The secretary had no doubt that the president couldn’t even afford to pay her next month’s salary.

This commercial giant spanning multiple sectors including real estate, finance, and entertainment had actually fallen to such a state.

The president watched Zhao Minghan’s live concert broadcast, completely ignoring his secretary’s advice: “Whether we’re in deficit or not doesn’t matter. The roads are already built. Zhao Minghan’s extended tour is coming to its final stop. Everything is ready except for the east wind—the revival of the Destruction Alliance happens today!”

“Come, look at the rising star we’ve cultivated with all our efforts.” The president pointed at Zhao Minghan who was lip-syncing on television.

The secretary had no interest in Zhao Minghan’s songs. If possible, she wished the music industry could go back thirty years.

Zhao Minghan’s concert tour route followed the Destruction Alliance’s plan. His songs were gradually activating the formation, and when he reached the final stop, it meant the formation would be completely activated, and the Earthly Immortal monster would arrive.

After the secretary withdrew, a soul appeared behind the president.

“Finally, this day has come! The plan is proceeding perfectly. How could those fools in the Mutual Aid Society possibly anticipate the immortal’s scheme?”

“Destruction, resurrection—I will use the world as a sacrifice to celebrate my rebirth!”

The president took out a small notebook containing various entries about cat-faced old women, non-existent bus stations, slit-mouthed women, and other phenomena, detailing how to utilize or avoid these urban legends.

“The Executor of Penglai said that after we summon the Earthly Immortal monster, the formation will decompose it. The monster’s corpse will transform into rules scattered throughout the world.”

“These rules can be called urban legends.”

The soul behind the president laughed excitedly: “The more people die from urban legends, the stronger the legends become! Then our Destruction Alliance can exploit the rule loopholes of urban legends to resurrect and restore our power!”

“Even if I can’t resurrect, with people shrouded in urban legends, they’ll generate endless negative emotions, and my power can still increase!”

The soul entity was none other than the Sorrowful Daoist who cultivated the Melancholy Lamenting Heaven Technique.

The president was equally excited. What was the greatest advantage in this world? Status and money? No—it was power! With absolute power came absolute authority. With a group of Unity Stage cultivators resurrecting, who could stop them from ruling the world?

What did company deficits matter? What did bankruptcy matter? Compared to future gains, everything was worthwhile.

“Listen! The Earthly Immortal monster is roaring!”

Both the man and the soul trembled with excitement. With the plan reaching this stage, success was absolutely certain. Even if the Radiant Enlightenment Daoist and Skeletal Devil Venerable were resurrected, they couldn’t stop it.

They looked up at the sky and saw the arrogant Earthly Immortal monster being crushed by Jiang Li’s hand, transforming into a beautiful firework display.

The president rubbed his eyes, thinking excitement had caused him to hallucinate.

…

Jiang Li had maintained his spiritual sense extended the entire time, hearing every word of the conversation between the president and Sorrowful Daoist. The Executor of Penglai, urban legends—everything made sense now.

“There really is Immortal Realm manipulation behind this. This formation is so complex even I can’t understand it—I need Bai Hongtu’s help. It must be an immortal’s work.”

“Qixin World has no means to counter Earthly Immortal monsters. If an Earthly Immortal monster ran rampant, it might trigger the emergence of a nascent Heavenly Dao. The Immortal Realm wouldn’t allow this, so they created urban legends to bring disaster to Qixin World.”

“Perhaps the destruction of Jingyu World was also the Executor of Penglai’s doing.”

“The fact that Qixin World hasn’t suffered from fallen immortals’ schemes might be because the Executor of Penglai is using a chain strategy—destroy Jingyu World first, then cause world collision and fusion, sending these Jingyu World souls over to implement the next phase.”

“The Radiant Enlightenment Daoist is the Executor of Penglai’s grand-disciple. Based on his understanding of the Radiant Enlightenment Daoist, the Executor calculated that he would create a Forbidden Technique in his dying state.”

Jiang Li half-guessed, half-analyzed. As for the truth, only finding the Executor of Penglai would reveal it.

Letting the Destruction Alliance resurrect was purely an empty promise from the Executor of Penglai—absolutely impossible to realize.

How could a mere Celestial Immortal overstep the rules of life, death, and reincarnation?

“Finished.”

Jiang Li returned to Wen Quan’s home and handed the president a paper containing the Destruction Alliance members’ information, letting the Mutual Aid Society handle the Destruction Alliance themselves.

Now that the Mutual Aid Society was confronting the Destruction Alliance head-on, the only outcome would be the Destruction Alliance’s crushing defeat.

If the Skeletal Devil Venerable got angry enough to intervene, the Destruction Alliance would be destroyed even faster.

The Highest Ruler witnessed the entire process via satellite, unable to believe that the monster described as terrifyingly destructive by Jingyu World survivors had died just like that.

Without even the power to resist.

Although the Highest Ruler already knew about the cultivation system, he still couldn’t intuitively understand the Mahayana Stage’s position and meaning within the entire cultivation system.

The Radiant Enlightenment Daoist and the president weren’t surprised by Jiang Li’s effortless handling of the Earthly Immortal monster—they only felt the satisfaction of vengeance achieved.

“With miscellaneous matters handled, we can discuss world interconnection.”

Jiang Li sat down and used magic to create a three-dimensional diagram showing Nine Provinces World, Mingzhong World, Huanyu World, Tongu World… all included.

“Our Nine Provinces World is a peace-loving world that advocates mutual progress and shared prosperity. I can responsibly tell you that there’s more than one Earthly Immortal monster—the real crisis hasn’t been resolved. Nine Provinces World has always been committed to protecting various worlds from invasion.”

“As of now, eight worlds have signed the Multilateral Cooperation Framework with our Nine Provinces, achieving excellent results through mutual communication in economy, cultivation, and technology, especially in combining cultivation and technology.”

“Might Qixin World be interested in establishing diplomatic relations with Nine Provinces and other worlds?”
