Chapter 372: The Suppression of Heaven and Earth, Absurd Destructive Capabilities of Cultivators in the Myriad Worlds
Several minutes passed.
Inside the cave abode, Tian Yongheng quietly sat before the Celestial Orb of Heaven and Earth.
The reflected battlefield continuously shifted within the orb.
Explosions illuminated the dark cosmos, gigantic warships shattered apart one after another, asteroids hundreds of miles in diameter disintegrated into dust and countless streams of light streaked across the starry sky like meteors.
The battle had already completely escalated.
At this moment, even Tian Yongheng’s expression became increasingly interested.
"Interesting."
His gaze remained fixed upon Pei Shuanzhen.
The former Immortal Ascension Realm powerhouse was fighting against an entire interstellar fleet almost singlehandedly.
Despite being only at the middle stages of the Acquired Realm, he was steadily suppressing the old man leading the Stellar Empire forces.
Every strike carried overwhelming momentum; every movement contained traces of profound Dao comprehension.
His combat experience was simply too rich.
After all, this was someone who had once stood at the peak of the Second Great Mortal World, only inferior to those Half Immortals and Vagrant Immortals.
Even if his cultivation had disappeared, his understanding remained.
At this moment, Pei Shuanzhen’s crimson spear swept horizontally.
*BOOM!*
Dozens of warships over thousands of meters long exploded instantly, the resulting shockwave spread outward for thousands of miles.
Several nearby asteroids were directly pulverized as countless pieces of wreckage drifted throughout space.
Meanwhile, the old man opposite him retreated several thousandmiles before stabilizing himself.
His expression had already become extremely ugly.
Originally, he believed this would be a simple conquest.
A backward planet with a newly emerged Tier-11 lifeform, not even having two thousand years of Spirit Qi recovery history.
Nothing more than that.
Yet reality was completely different.
Not only had Pei Shuanzhen resisted successfully, but he was now gradually forcing the entire fleet into a disadvantageous position.
At this moment, Tian Yongheng suddenly discovered something, causing his eyes to narrow slightly.
"Hm?"
The old man’s aura was changing.
Countless runes engraved upon his armor began illuminating one after another, and the surrounding fleet also started shifting formation.
Immediately afterward, streams of blue light erupted from thousands of warships simultaneously.
Those lights did not attack, instead converging towards the old man.
Within moments, his aura rose dramatically.
From around the Eighth Stage of Acquired Realm to Ninth Stage of Acquired Realm, and then...
*Boom!*
Innate Realm!
Or rather, a Tier-13 lifeform!
Tian Yongheng immediately understood.
A military amplification formation?
Using the power of an entire fleet to temporarily elevate a cultivator’s combat power, quite an ingenious method.
Although it relied heavily on external force, he had to admit that it was undeniably effective.
At this moment, the old man’s expression finally relaxed.
His gaze toward Pei Shuanzhen became cold once more.
"You should feel honored. This formation once suppressed thirty-seven Tier-12 rebels simultaneously. Today, it shall bury you."
The surrounding space trembled violently as a gigantic phantom appeared behind him, resembling a colossal mechanical deity forged from stars and steel.
It merely standing there caused nearby asteroids to collapse and shatter into pieces.
The pressure instantly increased severalfold.
Inside the cave abode, Tian Yongheng nodded slightly.
Not bad, this level of strength is already comparable to a newly advanced Innate Realm cultivator with an unstable cultivation.
Although inferior to true Innate Realm cultivators, it was genuinely the power of a superior realm, enough to overpower most peak Acquired Realm cultivators, not to mention Pei Shuanzhen is only at the Fifth Stage of Acquired Realm.
Unfortunately... Pei Shuanzhen is not an ordinary cultivator.
At this moment, Pei Shuanzhen suddenly laughed.
It wasn’t a cold or arrogant laugh, but a laugh that seemed to erupt from a giant amused by the antics of an ant who thought borrowed power could defeat him.
*BOOM!*
Before the old man could react, an overwhelming aura erupted from Pei Shuanzhen’s body!
The surrounding space collapsed inward, and the stars seemed to dim momentarily.
Tian Yongheng’s eyes brightened.
This guy...
More of his past life memories had awakened.
At this moment, fragments of ancient Dao comprehension continuously emerged from Pei Shuanzhen’s soul.
Although incomplete, they were more than enough to flip the table completely.
His spear suddenly moved, just one, simple thrust, but the moment it appeared, the old man’s expression changed drastically.
A feeling of extreme danger surged through his entire being.
It was as though he was facing not an Acquired Realm cultivator, but an ancient supreme expert standing above countless worlds.
*BOOOOOOM!*
The mechanical deity shattered instantly as the stellar formation exploded!
Thousands of warships trembled violently, a terrifying flame that scorched the very space itself twisting heaven and earth apart violently!
The old man coughed blood and was blasted backward tens of thousands of miles, countless cracks spreading across his armor.
The entire battlefield immediately fell silent.
Even the cultivators aboard the fleet became frozen; nobody understood what had just happened.
Only Tian Yongheng smiled faintly.
As expected.
A former Immortal Ascension Realm powerhouse, an elder of the Grand Sun Sect with a legacy in the Upper Realm, after reincarnation, crossing realms in battle was almost inevitable.
Honestly speaking, Tian Yongheng suspected that if Pei Shuanzhen truly recovered enough memories, he might even have the capability to kill a genuine Innate Realm cultivator in the middle or later stages despite only being in the Acquired Realm.
At this moment, another asteroid hundreds of miles wide drifted into the battlefield.
Unfortunately, it happened to enter the path of the retreating old man.
*Boom!*
The asteroid exploded into dust upon contact.
Seeing this scene, Tian Yongheng suddenly felt a strange emotion.
Then, he looked upward thoughtfully.
For the first time in a long while, he genuinely appreciated the existence of the Lower Realm’s suppression.
Back then, he always found the restrictions somewhat useless.
Now, however, he finally understood their purpose.
Without them, cultivators would be disasters before even becoming Immortals.
An Acquired Realm cultivator in an ordinary universe could destroy asteroids and devastate nations; an Innate Realm cultivator could probably annihilate entire planetary civilizations and raze continents to the ground.
As for higher realms, the consequences became increasingly absurd.
On the other hand, in the Nine Great Mortal Worlds, even Vagrant Immortals remained heavily suppressed.
The difference was enormous.
Tian Yongheng himself was the best example.
In the Myriad Worlds, without counting his True Immortal abilities of being able to traverse all heaven and earth, if his true body descended completely and didn’t even release his pressure, countless universes would likely collapse instantly.
Even a wisp of his presence could erase millions of universes.
Yet within the Second Great Mortal World, his strongest attack could not even destroy a continent, barely heavily damaging several regions was the limit.
The suppression was simply ridiculous.
At this thought, Tian Yongheng could not help smiling.
Perhaps the Lower Realm Spirit truly deserved some respect.
Without those restrictions, every Heavenly Karmic Cycle would probably end long before Immortals and Gods could interfere.
Immortal Cultivators themselves would destroy everything first.
At this moment, in the Celestial Orb of Heaven and Earth, the battle continued escalating.
Pei Shuanzhen advanced step by step through the starry sky.
The fleet retreated continuously as explosions illuminated the cosmos.
The scene resembled an ancient war god marching through heaven, straight out of a myth.
Watching this, Tian Yongheng leaned slightly against his seat.
His mood unexpectedly improved.
Compared to conspiracies involving Immortals and Gods, chaotic Providence, and approaching calamities, sometimes sitting quietly and watching someone else cause trouble throughout the Myriad Worlds was surprisingly relaxing.
