Chapter 494: Chapter 334: Qi Cultivator, Technology
The Jade Mace fell from beyond the heavens, swelling in the wind like a towering white jade pillar, crushing the starry sky and grinding the endless debris of stars into dust, filling the void with web-like cracks.
The fierce gale blew Qi Yun’s hair wildly, the Heavenly Eye on his forehead filled with bloodshot veins.
He did not sit idly by, his expression cold and determined, swallowing a Secret Medicine Spirit Pill. Crimson Essence Blood spurted from the eight orifices of his head, a bloody red glow surged from his body, resembling a blazing torch, staining a piece of the starry sky red.

He had once again forcibly opened the Eight Gates within his body, boosting his combat power to its peak, not dodging in the slightest, and faced Chu Zheng head-on.
“Unfortunately, I didn’t keep you against your will in the beginning, thus planting the seeds of disaster.”
His fists clenched tightly, his fingertips digging deep into his palms, not a trace of fear in his eyes, only reluctance.
...
Those days when he pursued Chu Zheng, if he had sought help earlier, the outcome might have been utterly different!
Buzz—
Before the Jade Mace arrived, a massive golden sword swept out from the void first, blocking above Qi Yun’s head.
Boom!
When the warriors clashed, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi exploded, whipping up a fierce tide in the starry sky, the dispersing Five Elements Primordial Qi instantly producing thunderbolts in the void, illuminating the four directions of the Star Dome.
Chu Zheng felt an overwhelming force coming, the Jade Mace uncontrollably rolled back, his palm tingling slightly.
He raised his eyes to look into the distance, his eyes filled with spiritual light, his brow slightly furrowed.
A figure wrapped in starlight, stepping through the void, with a majestic appearance and a tall stature, nearly forty years old, wearing a Yin Yang Taoist Robe, every movement exuded auspiciousness, flowing with a gentle clear light.
[Jiang Qingfeng (Eighth Order): Bone age 4,252, cultivation at the early stage of the Heavenly Immortal realm, embodies the Eight Gates Golden Core, a disciple in the line of the Ancestral Mixed Yuan Dao Lord, has already passed 3,217 tribulations.]
A Qi Cultivator!
And he was a top expert about to reach Perfection at the early stage of Heavenly Immortal, his talent evident from the Eight Gates Golden Core, with a certain chance of stepping into the Gold Immortal realm.
In terms of Qi Refinement’s Cultivation, Chu Zheng was far behind him now.
Judging from his lineage, this person and Nie Longhu were not from the same branch.
Jiang Qingfeng stood with his hands behind his back, the golden giant sword suspended behind him, buzzing and emanating divine auspicious lights, his expression calm, but the fingertips hidden under his robe sleeves trembling slightly.
Such a formidable force.
The strike just now was hard on him too, but now, with a great enemy before him, he could not show weakness.
“Daoist Jiang?”
Seeing Jiang Qingfeng, Qi Yun’s expression became slightly puzzled. As a branch of the Taoist School, though also a member of the Myriad Realms, Qi Cultivators usually acted alone, seldom interfering in others’ combat battles, as this could implicate karma.
“Quickly withdraw back to the Myriad Realms, this battle might be lost, do not waste your life in vain, don’t put all your family’s fortunes on the line here.”
Jiang Qingfeng stared at Chu Zheng, his expression unchanged, secretly transmitting:
“You first retreat from the Lower Heavenly Domain, assist in constructing the first defense line, other Daoist Orthodoxy will take over here, we will try our hardest to deplete the Immortal Alliance’s fighting power, dragging their steps, go quickly!”
Qi Yun’s expression became stern, then instantly concealed his abnormal countenance, turned around without a word, and stepped into the void.
As he turned back, he saw some shadows hidden in the void, emanating a metallic luster, his expression changing suddenly.
He recognized the origins of these things, coming from a Great Realm that has been sealed by various Daoist Orthodoxies of the Myriad Realms for many years.
This realm, having pushed technology to its peak, harbored terrifying weapons capable of rivaling Tenth Order creatures, even possessing the power to reverse time and space.
Technology, due to its excessively rapid development, was suppressed within a realm in the Great Thousand World, forbidden from expansion and not permitted to venture outward. Yet, in the face of the Myriad Realms’ existential crisis, previous restrictions were naturally nullified.
Chu Zheng did not pursue Qi Yun; instead, his gaze fell on Jiang Qingfeng, his mind deep in thought.
His experience in fighting others was limited, and this was his first encounter with a Heavenly Immortal. This experience might bring him some insights.
While Chu Zheng deliberated, Jiang Qingfeng had already made his move. The gold giant sword traced through the starry sky, sketching a complex talismatic pattern.
To Chu Zheng, this pattern seemed oddly familiar.
In the next instant, the gold giant sword passed through the pattern, enveloped in a dense clear radiance, striking directly at Chu Zheng.
Chu Zheng gathered his thoughts, took a deep breath, with Immortal Blood flowing from his liver to his heart, and from the spleen generating the sharp Qi of Metal, Harmonizing the Qi of Wood, Earth, and Fire, he swung the Tianxuan Mace in his hand, tracing the trajectory of a crescent moon, and smashed it down heavily.
In this strike, he held nothing back, displaying divine might that astonished the world, the brilliant divine radiance obscuring all the starlight, shaking the vast heavens.
Boom!
A thunderous explosion erupted, energy waves scattering across the starry sky, shattering dozens of nearby stars.
Jiang Qingfeng’s fingertips trembled violently as the gold giant sword recoiled in a frenzy, almost slipping out of control.
“Immortal-banishing rune is ineffective against you?!”
Jiang Qingfeng yelled as if he had seen a ghost, then narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Chu Zheng attentively, his expression gradually darkening:
“You… you are actually a Qi Cultivator?!”
Chu Zheng’s aura was not concealed; after careful detection, Jiang noticed the Golden Core Qi emanating from his Dantian.
“Qi Yun went around saying you possessed Qi-Refining Divine Abilities, I didn’t believe it, but it turns out to be true!
Jiang Qingfeng grimaced and spoke in a low tone:
“If you’re a Qi Cultivator, why work for the Immortal Alliance? Don’t you know about the blood feud between the Ancestral Dao and the Immortal Alliance?”
Chu Zheng did not respond, and Jiang Qingfeng also refrained from further discussion, instead raising his hand lightly summoning over ten massive shadows that stepped out from the starry space, dragging deep blue tails behind them, their bodies roaring with noise.
Drawing closer, Chu Zheng could finally see their true forms.
These shadows, identical in shape, each seventy feet tall and predominantly red and blue, flowed with a hazy luminescence like a lake’s surface, strikingly beautiful.
[Exterminating Immortal IV Generation Mad Blade Mecha (Eighth Order): The fourth-generation research result of the Oran Interstellar Empire’s Exterminating Immortal plan, primarily composed of Advanced Mimetic Flow Gold, equipped with top-grade artificial intelligence, a high-level Martial Arts Database, a main weapon – High-frequency Particle Stretching Battle Knife, thirty-six Dynamic Defense Prisms, with an Energy Recharge feature capable of absorbing and dissolving immortal power, combat power comparable to the Eighth Order Third Layer.]
Mecha…
Seeing the dozen metallic beasts before him, Chu Zheng’s eyes slightly furrowed; having encountered such devices during his transformation and tribulations, he had never seen ones this powerful before.
Comparable to Eighth Order Third Layer species, equivalent to a Three Calamities True Immortal, matching his own level of cultivation.
This meant that any one of these mechas could easily destroy a great sun.
Chu Zheng’s thoughts slightly sank; even if the battle in the Lower Heavenly Domain was won, the Immortal Alliance would face considerable resistance subsequently. Within the Myriad Realms, there would likely be myriad tactics waiting for the Immortal Path cultivators.
Whether it was Jiang Qingfeng’s Immortal-banishing rune or the special Energy Recharge feature equipped on these mechas, all were methods specifically researched to counteract the Immortal Path.
All realms consist of cultivators, while all heavens are of Otherkind; this is the greatest disparity.
The Myriad Realms are not as easy to deal with as All Heavens, with their endless tactics alone enough to trouble the Immortal Alliance significantly.
