Chapter 622: 622. Torture

After finishing speaking, Lu Li calmly waited in place, with only the massive black hole operating mightily behind him.

The huge gravitational force condensed into a beam, capturing all the immortals.

The Three Pure Ones, the Jade Emperor, and the hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers suddenly felt as if they had been thrown into a huge millstone, being repeatedly crushed and torn apart.

They had to gather all their mana to counteract the force, barely managing to hold on but not for long.

Continuous specks of light peeled off from the bodies of the immortals, merging into the black hole.

This was the mana and physical matter "quantum shattered" by gravitational waves.

And it was not only them, but lesser strong ones like Immortal Zhenyuan, Bull Demon King, etc.,

Originally just watching from a distance, they too suffered, captured by the black hole’s gravity, falling into a negative state of quantum shattering.

Even the various Cave Heaven Blessed Lands were affected, shaking violently.

"Primordial Chaos" was originally a wide-area skill. After Lu Li’s cultivation had greatly increased, the black hole he created, spanning two thousand kilometers in diameter, could affect nearly half of the Solar System.

No one could escape or hide.

The immortals’ faces looked extremely ugly as they all looked to the Three Pure Ones and the Jade Emperor, waiting for them to come up with a plan.

The decision was not hard to make; Lu Li had the power to resolve the whole star system.

This was a terrifying massacre, and showing off strength was definitely not an option.

Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad stepped forward and said, "Daoist Lu, state whatever demands you have, we will do our best to accommodate."

"What I want is very simple."

Lu Li raised his hand, and an invisible force uprooted the Western Heavenly Spirit Mountain.

This destination of the pilgrimage, a Buddhist blessed land, was stretched into strands and sucked into the black hole by the gravitational pull.

People roughly knew what Lu Li wanted next, and Lu Li also stated,

"Give me one day, bring forth ample Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to fill this black hole, and I will leave."

The scene was dead silent, then Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad led the way, plucking a "Purple Gold Gourd" from his waist, pouring out several Immortal Pills into the black hole.

The immortals, being torn apart by the black hole, suffered greatly but dared not dawdle, hurriedly offering Spiritual Objects to the black hole.

There were those cunning ones who intentionally dragged their feet or offered worthless things to cope.

But with every passing second, the injuries from the black hole increased and prolonging might cost them their lives.

Moreover, many fellow Daoists and even the Three Pure Ones and the Jade Emperor were watching, not allowing any trickery.

The immortals offered up treasure after treasure, even Immortal Zhenyuan handed over five Ginsengfruits.

Masses of treasures fell into the bottomless pit, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

However, the operation of the black hole did not decrease at all, and after devouring many Spiritual Objects, its mass grew larger, its force becoming stronger.

This was essentially a bottomless pit that could not be filled, causing the immortals to start hesitating.

Lu Li pointed at Neutron Five Elements Mountain, capturing Tathagata from beneath it into the black hole.

Fallen within, whether a person or an item, would be "quantum shattered," turning into nutrients for the Spirit Realm.

Seeing this, Lord Lao Zi immediately shouted to the people, "To spare this realm from a catastrophe is also considered infinite merit."

After saying that, he threw the entire "Purple Gold Gourd" into the black hole.

With such a lead, and the black hole continuing to increase pressure, the immortals dared not delay, continuing to offer various kinds of treasures.

Even the Jade Emperor, with a pained expression, threw out hundreds of Flat Peaches, the life-extending Divine Items naturally being of great value.

The black hole devoured everything, further increasing its mass, and many mid-tier immortals began to buckle under the pressure.

More and more specks of light peeled off their bodies, and they seemed to dissolve entirely.

They couldn’t care about anything else but to fill up the black hole quickly, proactively offering up the real treasures.

The Palm Leaf Fans, treasure swords, Crystal Hammers, and Treasure Umbrellas of the Four Heavenly Kings, even Nezha’s Qiankun Ring, were all handed over.

These Magic Treasures further strengthened the power of the Black Hole, and soon, even an immortal of Li Jing’s level began to struggle to resist.

Spiritual Objects rained down towards the Black Hole, creating a spectacular scene.

Seeing that this group had all made serious sacrifices, Lu Li directed the gravity radiation further afield, anchoring those powerful demons that hadn’t yet arrived.

The White Deer Spirit, Golden Fish Spirit, Nine-Headed Beast, and other Great Demons were instantly swept up by the gravitational force.

"Immortal, spare our lives! Immortal, spare our lives!"

The demons cried out for mercy, but Lu Li, facing a group of man-eating Demonic creatures, showed no leniency and swallowed them all into the Black Hole.

At this moment, everyone in the Six Realms knew that a great demon had come, torturing all kinds of immortals, gods, and monsters.

Lu Li paid no attention to these lower-tier beings; his focus was fixed on the lofty Heavenly Immortals and the man-eating Demon Kings.

But, as a massive sacrifice was made, the Black Hole’s power only grew stronger, putting even The Three Pure Ones and the Jade Emperor under tremendous pressure.

They showed signs of the Heavenly Person Five Decays, their bodies becoming dim and languid, even emanating a foul stench.

Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad was about to strike a deal with Lu Li, discussing a reduced price.

Suddenly, Wanqing spoke up,

"Let Lord Lao Zi be aware, my husband could very well devour this realm directly, this leniency is only due to our shared origin."

If efficiency was the goal, Lu Li could simply devour the entire planet. Not only would he absorb the Evil Power, but all treasures would also remain his.

Thus, this torture was indeed merciful. Lord Lao no longer spoke, bowed gratefully to Wanqing, and then drew the "Golden Cloth Rope" from his belt, offering it along with the Vajra to the Black Hole.

The Jade Emperor also waved his sleeve grandly, casting out a hundred "Purple Pattern" Flat Peaches.

These were the most top-tier Flat Peaches, said in the original texts to mature every 9000 years, capable of granting longevity equal to that of the heavens and earth, sharing the lifespan of the sun and moon.

Of course, this was an exaggeration but nonetheless, they were undeniably the highest grade of life-extending Spiritual Objects, and critical to the Jade Emperor’s sovereignty over the immortals and his reign over the Three Realms.

Even Lu Li looked upon them differently and did not crush the Spiritual Peaches but instead took them whole into the Spirit Realm for his wives.

"Try them, and then try planting them."

"Okay~"

Xiao Cha quickly grabbed one and bit into it, laughing happily,

"I used to dream of tasting this as a child, never imagined I’d actually get the chance."

Xia Weiyun also took a bite and eyed the peach pit, remarking, "It’s brimming with life; it should be easy to plant."

Cross-border cultivation was supposed to be extremely difficult, but with the women’s experience of planting Spirit Plants on two Spirit Stars, they felt confident.

Lu Li just smiled and then refocused his attention on the outside world.

All named and famed strong characters in Journey to the West were nearly at their limit, even the Bull Demon King fed his Palm Leaf Fan to the Black Hole.

In total, they collected around 100,000 various Magic Treasures, Spiritual Objects, and Great Demons.

Refining them all could increase the size of the Spirit Realm by 10%.

Lu Li decided that was enough and with a wave of his hand, he ordered the Black Hole to cease operation.

The Immortals heaved a sigh of relief, and Lord Lao Zi asked, "Is Daoist Lu satisfied now?"

"Basically satisfied, let’s part ways here."

Lu Li was always decisive. In that moment, he tore open a rift in the Sea of Consciousness, taking Wanqing, and they departed.

Once the rift had completely vanished, ensuring that Lu Li had indeed left, the immortals finally relaxed fully.

Lord Lao Zi expressed his relief, "Thankfully that individual bore no malice, allowing us to be spared from calamity by sacrificing wealth."

The Jade Emperor, realizing they had been lucky to escape unscathed this time, looked at the now cratered Lingshan, and sternly declared,

"From today on, do not harm mortals again, and especially keep control over your mounts and Spiritual Pets!"

The immortals nodded in agreement, none wishing to end up like Lingshan.
