Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 179: Solo Battle Foundation Building! (Big Chapter, Seeking Subscriptions)

"The rift in the Shadow Realm? The people from the Endless Killing Prison, the people from the Demon Sect have also invited them."

"It's not stupid to know who to look for."

"Hu... there's an opportunity."

When they saw the people from the Endless Killing Prison enter, Yu Wenshu and the others breathed a sigh of relief. They knew how strong the people from the Endless Killing Prison were.

Especially when they discovered that the people who came controlled the rift in the Shadow Realm, which happened to sever the connection between Zhong Cang and the Earth's veins, they felt even more at ease.

Then, they saw the rift in the Shadow Realm twist and heard the terrified voice of the person from the Endless Killing Prison.

"How can you shake the space!"

...

How can it be shaken?

The essence of gravity is the bending of space-time. With the ability to control gravity, Zhong Cang naturally had a slight influence on space-time.

Moreover, he turned gravity into the "earth" in the Heaven and Earth Eight Trigrams Diagram, using it as a foundation. After unfolding the Heaven and Earth Eight Trigrams Diagram, his influence on space-time naturally doubled.

Of course, if it were limited to this, he could only have a slight influence and couldn't distort space-time into a mess.

But the cultivator who came from the Endless Killing Prison also didn't have the ability to control space-time. Although the Shadow Realm could be considered as space-time, it was a virtual realm attached to the mortal world.

Because it wasn't a complete space-time, a cultivator at the Qi Refining stage like Cultivator Ying Jiu could shuttle through the Shadow Realm and tear open the rift in the Shadow Realm.

But if Cultivator Kou Ke could go, so could Zhong Cang.

The characteristics of the virtual realm being fragile and unstable allowed the cultivators who came from the Endless Killing Prison to easily shuttle through.

When Zhong Cang twisted it, it naturally became easier.

In this way, relying on the gravitational singularity, Zhong Cang twisted the rift in the Shadow Realm into a spiral, and the virtual realm created by the cultivator was also twisted into a mess by Zhong Cang's gravitational force.

What made the cultivator's expression turn pale was not only the distortion of his body by gravity, but also the powerful traction that made it impossible for him to escape.

Seeing that his body was about to be squeezed into a ball in the twisted gravity, the cultivator could only jump out of the Shadow Realm.

"Buzz!"

However, the moment he appeared, a mighty gravity pressed down on him, forcing his body onto the ground.

"Bastard... let me go, I won't do this deal anymore, we won't cross paths in the future!"

"Hehe."

To launch a sneak attack and then try to leave when unable to win, where in the world would such a good thing exist?

Especially, although Zhong Cang wouldn't deliberately provoke trouble, he wouldn't easily let anyone who provoked him off the hook.

"You have offended me, and yet you still want to leave. You are delusional."

Although not explicitly stated, from Zhong Cang's expression, Yin Jiu, who came from the Interminable Killing Prison, could sense the underlying meaning.

This made him snort coldly.

"Hmph, you don't think that breaking the Shadow Realm means you have me figured out, do you? My abilities go beyond this. I'll say it one last time, let me leave. Otherwise, you won't have a good outcome!"

After speaking, Yin Jiu noticed that Zhong Cang not only remained indifferent, but also increased the pressure of gravity. Rocks began to fall from above, causing the cultivator to roar ferociously.

"Bastard, you forced me!"

"Shadow Binding Technique!"

With a furious shout, Yin Jiu, who had been by Zhong Cang's shadow all along, stepped onto Zhong Cang's shadow with one foot.

As soon as he connected with his own shadow, Zhong Cang felt an inexplicable connection between the two. This feeling made Zhong Cang raise an eyebrow.

"Heart Sword... Wait, it seems unnecessary."

After realizing that he had been affected, Zhong Cang's first instinct was to activate his Sword Intent and sever this connection.

The power of the mind triumphs over physical objects, allowing Zhong Cang to not need to know what the opponent's ability is. As long as his will is firm and his soul is strong, he can sever all connections.

This is also the origin of the saying "One sword breaks ten thousand techniques" among sword cultivators.

However, he quickly discovered that he didn't need to do anything. The connection through the shadow had almost no effect on him.

...

Feeling that the opponent couldn't do anything to him, Zhong Cang remained indifferent. On the other hand, the Martial Artist with a gun standing in front of Zhong Cang was overjoyed.

"Lift your foot, quickly, lift your foot to break his connection with the ground."

"No need for you to say."

From their conversation, Zhong Cang understood that the Shadow Binding Technique seemed to connect their actions through the shadow.

To be honest, this ability was quite threatening, especially when someone cooperated. However:

"???"

"Lift it! Lift it quickly!"

Under the weight of the Transcendent's gravity, the old man with the gun attacked Zhong Cang relentlessly for dozens of seconds. Then, he realized that Zhong Cang didn't move at all, and the Yin Jiu on the other side was the same. This made the old man anxious.

It should be noted that the current situation of Yin Jiu and the Martial Artist with the gun was not safe. Not to mention the suppression of the gravity field, there were also countless spells raining down on them from behind.

The two of them were surrounding Zhong Cang, and the cultivators behind them were afraid of accidentally injuring Zhong Cang, so they didn't dare to go all out, giving them a moment to catch their breath.

However, as time passed, the two of them inevitably got injured.

And when someone noticed that Zhong Cang, protected by the gilded shield, could almost ignore any attack, their situation became even more difficult.

In this difficult situation, it makes the gun-wielding Martial Artist eager for Shadow Nine to act faster.

However, Shadow Nine also has his own difficulties. He says:

"I can't move! How is it possible that I can't move!"

"Move, move for me!"

After being connected to Zhong Cang through the shadow, his movements are synchronized with Zhong Cang's. Therefore, he really wants Zhong Cang to move.

However, the connection is mutual.

The Shadow Binding Technique only connects the movements of two cultivators, it doesn't mean that the user can do whatever they want.

Just like at this moment, Shadow Nine wants to move, but Zhong Cang remains motionless. This conflict in actions requires the strength of both sides to determine the advantage.

Whoever has stronger strength will have the advantage in their movements.

There is no doubt that Shadow Nine is completely defeated in this aspect.

At this moment, Zhong Cang has activated the Heaven and Earth Eight Trigrams Diagram and is connected with the unity of heaven and earth. In this situation, for Shadow Nine to make Zhong Cang move, he would have to shake the entire world.

With such power, not to mention Shadow Nine at the Qi Refining Stage, even at the Foundation Building Stage, he wouldn't be able to shake it.

Therefore, after the two are connected through the shadow, he realizes that he is bound to a towering mountain.

No matter how he moves, he can't shake even a bit of the mountain. On the contrary, when the 'mountain' moves, it carries him away.

"Damn it!"

Falling into such a situation, Shadow Nine has to admit that his Shadow Binding Technique is useless against Zhong Cang. Therefore, he wants to release this spell.

But soon, his expression becomes terrified.

Both casting and releasing this spell require forming a hand seal.

Under normal circumstances, releasing this spell doesn't require much effort.

Even if he is slightly weaker, he still has the strength to move his fingers.

But at this moment, the gap between the two sides is too great.

The weight of Zhong Cang, like a mountain, prevents him from even moving his fingers.

"No!"

"Let me go, we have no grievances or enmity, I'm willing to give you all my possessions."

"Please, let me go..."

"Damn it, if you kill me, the Abyssal Prison won't let you go, my master... Bang!"

Unable to release the spell and unable to dodge the attack, he is crushed to death by falling rocks.

Ignoring his death, Zhong Cang's gaze looks forward.

There, a gun-wielding Martial Artist and an empty-handed Martial Artist are staring at him with serious expressions.

After a brief eye contact, with a "bang," the gun-wielding Martial Artist, enduring the pressure of gravity, escapes to the rear.

This scene surprises both Zhong Cang and the empty-handed Martial Artist.

However, Zhong Cang quickly reacts, extending his palm and suddenly forming a claw.

"Buzz!" The Myriad Manifestations Traction is activated.

The powerful gravitational force grabs hold of the Martial Artist who wants to escape, as if caught by a giant deity.

In the blink of an eye, he is pulled back.

During this process, he struggles with all his might, even inserting his spear into the ground to stabilize himself.

But it's useless.

This struggle only leaves a deep furrow on the palace ground.

"No, save me! Yin Tian, save me!"

When he is pulled back to the side of the empty-handed Martial Artist, the gun-wielding old man pleads for help.

Unfortunately, the latter completely ignores his outstretched hand and just shakes his head with a sigh.

"The passage of time really wears people down. The Martial Saint, who was once known for his indomitability, now only thinks about running away and begging for mercy. It's pitiful."

With no one coming to his rescue, the old man can only be pulled to Zhong Cang's side in despair and forcefully thrown to the ground.

Then, Zhong Cang steps on his body with one foot and applies a little force.

"Boom!"

As Zhong Cang, who is connected with heaven and earth, makes this stepping motion, in an instant, an area of several hundred meters in radius sinks.

The ground, which is the size of several football fields, is pressed down by Zhong Cang by three inches.

With such a large area of ground sinking, the Martial Artist beneath Zhong Cang's feet naturally doesn't fare well.

Even though he possesses the true meaning of Martial Dao and has a body as tough as steel, under Zhong Cang's step, he is still crushed to death.

Just like crushing an ant, Zhong Cang kicks the old man away. Then, his gaze falls on the empty-handed Martial Artist standing in front of him, who exudes a strong aura.

"You're not running away."

"Can you escape?"

Hearing these words, Zhong Cang shakes his head.

"You can't escape. However, many people, even though they know they can't escape, still won't give up because they want to stay alive. You are an exception."

"Even ants struggle to survive. I'm not an exception, but compared to life and death, there are things I care about more."

"Chi La..."

He casually tore off his clothes, revealing a muscular body.

"Ka Cha Ka Cha..."

As his body moved, a series of crackling sounds echoed within him.

This is the realm that Martial Artists dream of - the Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound.

When his body was fully activated, Yin Tian, who was barehanded, looked at Zhong Cang and the cultivators behind him, revealing a grim smile.

"I have dedicated my life to martial arts and take pride in the Martial Dao!"

"I never expected that for you all, the Martial Dao would be discarded as useless trash."

As he spoke, his gaze became fierce once again.

"I am unwilling. I want to try and see if a Martial Artist can surpass immortal cultivation!"

"Boom!"

With these words, a powerful surge of blood qi erupted from his body.

Then, with all his strength, he threw a punch towards Zhong Cang.

"The Supreme Shocking World!"

As he swung his fist, a powerful oppressive aura of an emperor descended upon Zhong Cang.

This is his true intent of the Martial Dao, and it is also a requirement for Martial Artists to ascend to Martial Saint.

To Zhong Cang, this power was like a gentle breeze brushing against his face.

There's no way around it, the power of an emperor is indeed formidable, but as everyone knows, an emperor is called the Son of Heaven.

Son of Heaven, Son of Heaven, the child of the heavens.

In the perception of ordinary people and even in the self-proclaimed title of the emperor, the emperor of a country is always inferior to the heavens.

At this moment, with the opening of the Eight Trigrams Heaven and Earth, Zhong Cang's Heavenly Heart had been activated, so no matter how powerful the emperor's aura was, it couldn't affect the heavens.

Therefore, the power of this punch was equivalent to nothing for Zhong Cang.

"Bang!"

However, although the effect of spiritual oppression was absent, his physical body was indeed well-trained.

This punch was full of strength!

Moreover, this punch, given with all his might, carried a special vibrational force.

Upon careful perception, Zhong Cang discovered that this force was vibration.

As for why one needed to carefully perceive in order to detect the nature of this force, it was naturally because the Earth Heart Shield was too thick.

The three-foot shield made Yin Tian's punch with its vibrational force almost imperceptible when it reached Zhong Cang. Without careful perception, it was impossible to feel it at all.

Yin Tian also saw this scene, and this made his momentum completely dissipate. His expression became even more miserable.

"A full-force punch, and you can't even feel it? I have lost."

"It doesn't count. You encountered me this time. If it were someone else..."

"I am the strongest Martial Artist in the Xuan Yuan Realm. To prove the Martial Dao, I naturally have to fight against the strongest cultivators. Others cannot replace cultivators... Kill me, dying at your hands is not a disgrace to me."

"... Farewell."

"Bang."

Seeing that the other party had the will to die, Zhong Cang no longer persuaded him and used the power of heaven and earth to erase him.

His death only brought a sense of emotion to Zhong Cang, but it brought endless shock to the Martial Artists and soldiers of the Xuan Yuan Realm.

Just as he said, he was the strongest Martial Artist in the Xuan Yuan Realm. His defeat completely crushed the morale of the Martial Artists in the Xuan Yuan Realm.

With the loss of morale and the rise of fear, the Martial Artists and soldiers who were originally holding their ground naturally collapsed.

Without their obstruction, Zhong Cang's advance was unimpeded.

In this way, he broke through the imperial city, entered the imperial court hall, and saw the emperor sitting on the throne.

"Hmph, you won this time, but don't be too proud. We will come back."

Upon seeing Zhong Cang, the emperor uttered a harsh remark. Then, he was grabbed by the Poisonous Dragon Perfected Being and, along with other Perfected Beings, attempted to ascend to the heavens.

Seeing this, Zhong Cang naturally wouldn't let them go.

"Buzz!"

He extended his palm, which suddenly turned into a claw. The moment this action was made, a majestic gravitational force attached itself to the emperor and the Poisonous Dragon Perfected Being, causing their movements to pause.

Then, the two of them were pulled back by the powerful gravitational force.

However, upon realizing that they were being attacked, neither the emperor nor the Poisonous Dragon Perfected Being showed any anger on their faces. Instead, they were full of smiles.

In the rear, the Hualin Perfected Being and the Jingming Perfected Being, who had been protecting them all along, had their expressions greatly changed.

"Not good!"

"Hahaha, you dare to attack me. Hahaha..."

Zhong Cang naturally knew what he was laughing about.

Due to the sect's covenant, Foundation Building and Gold Core cultivators are not allowed to actively attack Qi Refining Stage cultivators unless they want to die or start a sect-wide war.

However, in this world, the strong are always respected, and the rights and status of the strong are always guaranteed first.

Therefore, the premise for a Qi Refining Stage disciple to avoid being attacked is to not provoke trouble.

If a Qi Refining Stage disciple initiates an attack, the strong will have no reservations in taking action.

Under the Heavenly Heart state, active thinking even allowed Zhong Cang to speculate that the reason the Poisonous Flood Dragon Perfected Being did not leave with the emperor in advance, but instead took the emperor to the sky the moment he entered the court, was to provoke him.

He wanted Zhong Cang to take the first move so that he would have a reason to attack Zhong Cang.

Despite understanding this, Zhong Cang still took action. The reason for this was not because he wanted to seek death, but because he was confident:

"I can surpass him!"

...

"How dare you!"

"Step aside."

"If you attack, it will be a full-scale war against our Cloud Firmament Sect, a battle of annihilation!"

"Hehe, don't blame us. It's your disciples who are too arrogant."

"That's right, actively attacking the strong, these disciples are troublemakers. They will only cause trouble for your Cloud Firmament Sect. We are doing this for your own good."

Seeing that the Poisonous Flood Dragon Perfected Being had the intention to attack Zhong Cang, the Perfected Beings of the Cloud Firmament Sect rushed forward anxiously.

However, as soon as they moved, the people from the Demon Sect also moved, and in the air, without reaching an agreement, the two sides instantly engaged in a chaotic battle.

Because the Demon Sect had slightly more Foundation Building cultivators than the Cloud Firmament Sect, for a while, the people from the Cloud Firmament Sect couldn't break through.

Therefore, inside the palace court, Zhong Cang would be the only one facing the Poisonous Flood Dragon Perfected Being from the Demon Sect alone.

"Hahaha... Huh?!"

While Zhong Cang was using gravity to pull, the Poisonous Flood Dragon Perfected Being continued to laugh madly.

However, soon, his laughter stopped.

When pulled to a certain range, with a "buzz," a mighty gravity suddenly acted on him, pressing him down towards the ground.

The Poisonous Flood Dragon Perfected Being also felt this, but he didn't care.

"You want to fight me? Brat, you really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Let me tell you, not all Foundation Building cultivators can be reversed."

"Remember this well, I am a Foundation Building cultivator who advanced independently, not like those who advanced with pills."

"Roar!"

In a proud roar, the figure of the Poisonous Flood Dragon Perfected Being visibly elongated and thickened at an astonishing speed. Soon, the Poisonous Flood Dragon Perfected Being disappeared, and a seventeen-meter-long black-purple Flood Dragon appeared in the sky.

With its massive body and dark scales, the Poisonous Flood Dragon was unparalleled in both strength and defense among cultivators of the same level.

And as a perfect creature, the dragon possessed various powerful innate spells.

At this moment, as the Poisonous Flood Dragon appeared, wind and rain converged towards it.

The wind and rain converged into clouds and mist, surrounding it.

Riding the clouds and mist, this is the innate ability of dragons and flood dragons, just like how humans can speak and see, it is the foundation of dragonkind's abilities.

However, although it is the foundation, it does not mean it is weak.

Zhong Cang could sense that as the clouds and mist gathered, a special force appeared, a force that could counteract gravity.

"The ability of dragons to ride clouds and mist to counteract gravity?... That's normal. Pure clouds and mist alone cannot make a dragon's body soar."

While Zhong Cang marveled at this, the Perfected Being Poisonous Flood Dragon's gaze had already turned ferocious towards Zhong Cang.

"Kid, do you see it? This is the difference between you and me. Remember, next time you encounter a higher-level cultivator, show some respect."

"Oh, by the way, you won't have a next time, so maybe in your next life... Huh?!!"

The Poisonous Flood Dragon Perfected Being, who had counteracted gravity, was originally laughing maniacally, but soon his eyes widened.

A majestic force suddenly acted upon him, a force that caused the gathered clouds and mist to disperse once again.

"Who?!!"

Due to his disdain for Zhong Cang, the Perfected Being Poisonous Flood Dragon did not immediately lock his gaze onto Zhong Cang. He thought there was an enemy hiding in the dark, plotting against him.

This made him turn his head and search around, trying to find the enemy.

Since there was none, his search naturally ended in vain.

Soon, he no longer had the mind to worry about these things.

As the clouds and mist scattered, without the innate ability to ride clouds and mist, he could no longer resist gravity and was being pressed down, falling towards the ground.

What annoyed him even more was that while transforming into a Poisonous Flood Dragon greatly increased his strength, the extremely heavy weight of the Flood Dragon also made it susceptible to the pull of gravity.

"Kid, you've angered me!"

"Roar!"

Unable to find the enemy, he could only prioritize self-preservation.

With a dragon's roar, the Perfected Being Poisonous Flood Dragon exerted all his strength to activate his ability to ride clouds and mist, wanting to gather the clouds and mist around him again and lift his dragon body.

However, he has the ability to ride clouds and mist, to call the wind and summon the rain, and Zhong Cang... also has it.

"Roar!"

In the sound of a dragon's roar, an elegant and slender silver dragon fish appeared around Zhong Cang.

The appearance of the dragon fish made the Perfected Being Poisonous Flood Dragon widen his eyes, and even more unbelievably, he understood one thing: "It was you who dispersed the clouds and mist around me just now?!!"

...
