Chapter 31

Defeating Fenghou

Under the watchful eyes of a group of immortal deities including Hufeng, Rongbing, and Huyanbo, the battle between Li Che and Tiejian Hou, a subordinate of Huyanbo, remained undecided for a long time.

What many immortal military lords could hardly imagine was that Li Che, a mere realm lord, possessed a fighting style far more exquisite than that of the Iron Sword Marquis, who was only a junior marquis.

Whether it's the depth of his understanding of the laws of earth and space or the sophistication of his secret techniques, his methods are simply beyond the comprehension of ordinary immortal military lords.

This resulted in Li Che having a base strength of only about 300 times that of a peak World Lord, thanks to the Divine Amplification Armor. Compared to Tie Jianhou's strength of over 1000 times, the difference was huge, yet he was still on par with Tie Jianhou.

After unleashing the black hole secret technique called "Return to the Void," Li Che completely crushed Tie Jianhou. No matter how Tie Jianhou used his secret technique, he could not suppress Li Che at all.

This battle performance was terrifying. Even though they had all heard that top-tier realm lords were no weaker than immortal gods, they had never seen anything so heaven-defying.

As one of the main figures in this great battle, Li Che had a profound understanding of the situation on both sides.

Although he had not been in possession of Li Che's legacy from the Mountain and Sea Realm for long, Li Che himself had already incorporated some of the profound mysteries of spatial sealing into his self-created secret technique, "Return to the Void," and further deduced "Return to the Void: Town."

Although it's only a prototype, it still makes the fighting power even stronger.

Once the move was unleashed, it contained a terrifying binding force that sealed off space. Given the depth of Iron Sword Marquis's understanding of the spatial laws, there was simply no way to dodge it.

In contrast, compared to the virtual immortal simulated in the killing space, Iron Sword Marquis's burst attack power was not as strong as expected.

As Huyan Bo's soul servant, this person did not possess any treasures worthy of attention. Despite being a Marquis-level immortal god, he was still using the most ordinary standard divine weapons and immortal armor.

This resulted in the fact that even when this person unleashed his full power of secret techniques, he was still far inferior to the virtual immortal he once was.

However, it must be admitted that Tie Jianhou's cultivation in the field of immortality amazed Li Che.

Without relying on any treasures, he directly confronted Li Che's "Return to the Ruins Town" without losing any divine power.

This made Li Che realize just how difficult it was for a realm master to kill a Marquis-level immortal god.

If those immortal military lords who had not yet mastered immortality were a group of world lords who had been strengthened many, many times over, then the immortals who had mastered immortality had almost become another kind of monster.

They may not be as skilled in combat as those genius realm lords who have crossed the high-level Heavenly Bridge, but with their immortal bodies, they are almost invincible from the start.

Moreover, these immortal gods can also use the method of burning divine power to amplify their combat power by an extremely high factor, and the sudden burst of combat power poses a great threat to the world lord.

To be honest, Li Che was very wary of Tie Jianhou's method of burning divine power. Even if this guy only burned about 3% of his divine power, it would probably be enough to seriously injure Li Che.

Therefore, at the very beginning of the battle, Riche had already used Isaac's venom.

His divine weapon, the Dark Sea Spear, had long been tempered with this divine venom. Whenever the spear pierced the Iron Sword Marquis's divine body, a small amount of venom would be mixed into his divine body.

This is a highly concealed venom; even an immortal deity like Iron Sword Marquis, who held the title of Marquis, did not notice anything amiss in the early stages of poisoning.

Until a certain moment, when Li Che clashed with Tie Jianhou again, he clearly felt that his strength had decreased.

"It finally flared up!"

This feeling immediately brought an excited smile to Li Che's face. The Dark Sea Spear in his hand shimmered with light, and he activated his self-created secret technique "Return to the Void - Town" again, smashing it towards Iron Sword Marquis's chest.

"puff!"

The domineering spatial sealing power descended, and even though Iron Sword Marquis was an immortal god, he still felt there was nowhere to hide. He could only watch helplessly as Li Che's spear pierced through his armor and penetrated his chest.

Originally, Tie Jianhou didn't care much. His immortal body was powerful enough that Li Che's explosive power, unless it reached a certain limit, would be completely unable to effectively destroy his divine body.

But when Tie Jianhou was preparing to counterattack again, he finally felt a weakness that came from his very soul.

The feeling was as if the bone marrow of the whole person had been extracted, and every bit of divine power and every cell in the body was dormant, and the strength was much less than before.

"Divine poison!?"

Tie Jianhou realized this instantly, but by the time he reacted, his divine power dormancy symptoms had already kicked in, his basic explosive power had dropped by at least 30%, and it was continuing to worsen.

Realizing this, Li Che stopped pretending and openly took out the bottle containing Isaac's venom from his inner world, using the power of the world to evenly apply the venom to the Dark Sea Spear.

The Divine Power Toxin only targets the divine body and has no effect on flesh and blood. Even if Li Che drinks that bottle of toxin, he will not experience any symptoms at all.

But for immortal gods, the effects of this toxin are immediate.

"Damn it!"

Upon seeing this, Tie Jianhou's previously calm face finally revealed anger. He tried to use his divine power to wipe away the toxins, but found it to be useless. Isaac's toxins quickly seeped into every cell of his divine body, causing the originally abundant power in his divine body to rapidly subside.

He tried to forcefully burn his divine power, but the sense of stagnation brought about by the toxin prevented his divine power from being consumed normally.

Guixu Town!

Just as Iron Sword Marquis was about to make a move, Li Che's Dark Sea Spear, coated with venom, descended once more. The surging power broke through his armor, causing the spearhead to pierce into his divine body.

With a single strike, Li Che's spear trembled, and the power of the world manipulated the Isaac poison on the surface of the spear, injecting a full dozen grams of Isaac venom into the Iron Sword Marquis's divine body.

"Bang!"

Immediately afterwards, Li Che took a step forward, and Tie Jianhou's divine body was kicked and sent flying, crashing heavily onto the surface of a planet on the outer edge of the Shuangheng star system.

"Iron Sword Marquis, you've lost!"

Seeing this, Li Che finally smiled. He charged forward, thrusting his Dark Sea Spear forward, and in an instant, he stabbed Iron Sword Marquis dozens more times on his body.

Just in case, he injected 70 grams of Isaac poison into Tie Jianhou's body. Now the poison is gradually taking effect. Although Tie Jianhou's total divine power is still intact, his basic strength has dropped by more than 95%. The dormancy of his divine power has made it impossible for him to even burn his divine power.

In this state, any immortal military lord of medium or higher level can suppress and crush Iron Sword Marquis with their power.

However, neither Li Che nor Rong Bing and Qi Yao, who were watching the battle from the sidelines, had any intention of continuing the pursuit and completely eliminating Tie Jianhou.

This is, after all, a conflict within the rules of the cosmic kingdom, driven by self-interest. There's no need to completely fall out with the master of Meteorite Star over it.

"Iron Sword has lost!"

A moment later, a virtual reality projection suddenly appeared in a distant spaceship, blocking the path between Li Che and Tie Jianhou.

Li Che looked at this person.

A young human man, less than two meters tall, with handsome features and narrow eyes, had an intelligent life form resembling a demonic child perched on his shoulder.

"I am the master of the Iron Sword, Huyan Bo, the Lord of Meteorite Star."

He stared at Li Che for a long time before introducing himself.

Although unwilling, Hu Yanbo had to admit that this little world lord was a cut above him in terms of direct combat power.

Perhaps it was a habit of the Soul Master, but the possibility of enslaving the terrifying world lord in front of him flashed through Hu Yanbo's mind in an instant.

However, considering the exceptionally powerful combat strength of this realm lord and the potential top-tier forces behind him, Hu Yanbo decisively dismissed the idea:

"Lord of the Ruins Realm, I acknowledge your power. The legacy of Marquis Yu Chen will no longer be interfered with by the Meteorite Star lineage."
