Volume 14, Chapter 919 – This Time, I’ll Kill Them All

Qi Huang’s Assimilation Domain rapidly expanded, gradually enveloping two entire planets. Though she had already set up Assimilation Domains on every ally at the Immortal-grade and above beforehand, this time they were heading to a world of the lowest tier—a place so low even the native cultivators of Lishui Planet couldn’t access it. So, she simply wrapped the two planets directly in her domain.

Lu Hong sensed that something was wrong, but activating the Teleportation Gate Crossbow in his hand required time, it couldn’t open a portal instantly.

Lu Hong’s brow furrowed deeply, and he instinctively asked, “What are you trying to do?”

“Nothing much, just thought we could play a little game of hide and seek.”

Qi Huang replied lightly, while continuing to push more Assimilation power into her domain.

“No… You’re trying to drag both of these planets into a lower world!”

Lu Hong paused in thought, then his expression changed dramatically. His body jerked forward as if to leap, but in the end, he restrained himself. If he damaged the spatial barrier and incurred the wrath of the Heavenly Court, he might cut off his only path to survival.

“What’s wrong? The mighty Grand Elder of the Immortal Alliance can’t even cross this little filthy ditch?”

Qi Huang’s lips curled slightly. Her Assimilation Domain had already wrapped around the two planets. Then she unleashed a powerful compression through her Divine Sense.

BOOM!

In the next moment, the two planets collapsed, taking with them a massive segment of the surrounding spatial barrier, and fell together into the lower-tier world.

Lu Hong’s face contorted in rage as he watched. But without a teleportation gate, he couldn’t cross even the relatively narrow spatial fissure before him. All he could do was pace back and forth in frustration.

“Elder Lu, I assume you found us by using the Celestial Star Chart from the Celestial Realm, right? I heard that thing can only track planets that obediently stay put in their own realm. Now that I’ve dragged these two planets into a lower world… I wonder if the Heavenly Court can still follow us?”

Qi Huang’s words struck at the heart like a dagger.

“Don’t get cocky. Even if I have to chase you to the ends of the earth, I will slaughter every last one of you heretical scum.”

Lu Hong gritted his teeth, seething with fury.

“You’d better worry about how to get into this low-tier world first!”

Qi Huang shrugged it off without concern. She floated above the Solar Tree, steering the two planets farther away from the source of conflict.

“Damn it!”

Lu Hong watched helplessly as his targets disappeared into the distance. Even someone of his self-discipline let slip a curse.

He remained where he was, unable to advance or retreat. Not long after, his ancestor Lu Wei contacted him.

“What’s the situation? Have those heretics been eliminated?”

Lu Wei asked, full of hope.

“N-not… not yet.”

Lu Hong replied awkwardly.

“Not yet? That shouldn’t be possible. With your strength, crushing those heretics should be as easy as stepping on ants.”

Lu Wei was clearly confused.

With no other choice, Lu Hong explained everything that had just happened in detail.

“They’re incredibly cunning…”

Lu Wei’s tone turned furious upon hearing this.

“Yes, Grandfather. I didn’t expect those deviant bastards to pull two entire planets into a low-tier world. There’s nothing I could do.”

Lu Hong defended himself.

“Nothing you could do? Lu Hong, I’m more and more disappointed in you.”

Lu Wei’s voice turned stern.

“Grandfather, it’s my fault. That world can’t even accommodate the weakest cultivators. I was afraid of breaking the spatial barrier and angering the Heavenly Court…”

Lu Hong quickly tried to explain.

“It’s not a matter of being useless, it’s that your will isn’t strong enough. If it were the former, you could still be supported. But the latter? That’s like a pile of rotten mud—beyond saving.”

Lu Wei scolded him mercilessly. Then he said, “You should know that in that kind of situation, you had only one option: to abandon your physical body to reach your goal. But you hesitated. That’s why you failed.”

“Grandfather… I’m sorry.”

Lu Hong apologized, ashamed.

“Don’t apologize to me. You should apologize to yourself, and to the entire Immortal Alliance. Now that they’ve escaped to a lower-tier world, the Celestial Star Chart can no longer track them. If this mission fails, you’ll pay the price.”

Lu Wei warned.

“It’s alright. They’ve brought along so much dead weight. Their Assimilation power will burn out quickly. They won’t be able to hide for long. I hope Grandfather can keep monitoring for me. I promise that next time, I won’t let them escape.”

Lu Hong vowed with determination.

“Let’s hope so.”

Lu Wei responded with a vague smile. “Remember, the Heavenly Court has already made countless exceptions just to support your mission to eliminate these heretics. If you fail, forget about immortality.”

“I understand.”

Lu Hong answered respectfully.

On the other side, Qi Huang was fleeing with two planets in tow. She even used a teleportation portal to increase her speed. She wasn’t certain whether the enemy would choose to perish together. If that old man really did sacrifice his physical body, his Life Soul alone would be enough to annihilate her and every “person” on these planets.

Qi Huang moved the planets across several star systems before finally withdrawing her Divine Sense. Then she returned to Honghua Sect’s cultivation chamber, where Cheng Hongling, Feng Jiu’an, and An Xuan were already waiting for her.

“Young Mistress really had foresight. If you hadn’t opened two spatial rifts in advance as a buffer, we wouldn’t have had any chance of escaping today.”

An Xuan couldn’t help but praise.

“Of course! Your Young Mistress may have high cultivation, but the highest thing about me is still my intelligence.”

Qi Huang grinned smugly.

“I’m just worried that old guy might get desperate and abandon his physical body to drag us all down with him.”

A hint of worry rose between Cheng Hongling’s tired brows.

“It’s fine. We’ve already fled far enough. Even if he did that, he wouldn’t be able to find us any time soon.”

Qi Huang quickly reassured her.

“Yeah, with these two planets now in a lower world, the Celestial Star Chart won’t be able to track us. That old man’s going to have a hard time finding us.”

Feng Jiu’an added, realizing the implications.

“If only we could just stay here forever… wait eighty or a hundred years, prepare everything, and only then come back out.”

An Xuan sighed wistfully.

“I’d love that too. Unfortunately, the Assimilation power I currently possess is limited, and I can’t replenish it through cultivation. I can’t maintain such a massive domain indefinitely. Once it’s exhausted, we’ll have to return to the cultivation world.”

Qi Huang shook her head helplessly.

“It’s fine. As long as I merge these heart fragments into my body and take care of Lu Hong, our crisis will naturally be resolved.”

Cheng Hongling, despite her discomfort, forced herself to comfort Qi Huang instead.

“That may be true, but I’m still worried your body won’t be able to withstand that many heart fragments.”

Qi Huang voiced her concern again.

“It doesn’t matter. Worst case, like An Xuan said, I’ll just become one of the ghost race. After everything I’ve been through, I don’t care much about identity anymore. Cultivator, Celestial, ghost… it’s all just different sides of the same coin. So-called ‘good’ and ‘evil’ are just labels used by certain people to demonize others while dressing themselves up.”

Cheng Hongling’s lovely face showed a trace of disdain. The “certain people” she referred to were naturally the Heavenly Dao and its lapdogs.

“Well said!”

The two women around her praised her in unison. Their previous impression of Cheng Hongling was that of a noble, upright celestial beauty. Never did they expect she’d have such insight.

Qi Huang said nothing. If it wasn’t absolutely necessary, she’d never allow the woman she loved to reach that point.

Day after day passed. In the blink of an eye, over a month had gone by. Qi Huang’s Assimilation power was finally depleted. Though Cheng Hongling had only fused nineteen heart fragments so far, they had no choice but to return the two planets to the cultivation world.

Qi Huang wasn’t about to sit and wait to die. She continued moving the two planets around, trying to delay the inevitable.

“Grandson, I’ve once again detected the position of those two planets, It appears their Assimilation power is completely exhausted. You need to get there immediately.”

In the Heavenly Court, Lu Wei had once again spotted Lishui Planet through the Celestial Star Chart and wasted no time notifying Lu Hong.

“Don’t worry, Grandfather. This time, I will wipe out every last one of those heretical bastards.”

Lu Hong vowed with steely determination.

“You’d better mean it. The Heavenly Court has already made exceptions to grant you an early ascension. If necessary, you can abandon your physical body. Don’t be as indecisive as last time.”

Lu Wei urged him sternly.

“Yes!”

Lu Hong accepted the command, opened a portal, and rushed toward the target location.
