Chapter 711: Chapter 711: Ying's Divine Power

With a celestial being, ten Earth Immortals, and the advantage of being within his own 'world,' Sima Ce saw this as a near-certain victory.

Ying, unfazed by Sima Ce's words, looked at him and said, "Is it true that outside this micro world, numerous forces have gathered, causing the Taichu Holy Court to be unable to spare more resources and only send you to subdue this world?"

Sima Ce's brow twitched, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and the ten Earth Immortals exchanged puzzled glances.

"Am I not enough?" Sima Ce asked coldly.

Sima Ce now understood why everything had gone wrong earlier. These people simply didn't take him seriously. How could this be? Were they crazy? That Zhong Shan was only an Emperor Extreme Realm cultivator, yet they treated him as an equal. But Sima Ce, a celestial being equivalent to the Heavenly Extreme Realm Twelfth Layer, was being disregarded. Were these people of the micro world all out of their minds?

Seeing Sima Ce's reaction, Ying shook his head, having obtained the confirmation he sought.

"Lü Buwei, prepare to return to the court," Ying ordered calmly.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Lü Buwei bowed.

"Return? Hahaha, do you think you can leave? In my 'world,' no one can escape without my permission," Sima Ce laughed mockingly.

Lü Buwei looked at Sima Ce with a peculiar expression.

"World? Your 'world' relies on that Eternal Green Pine to sustain itself, doesn't it?" Lü Buwei asked.

"So what?" Sima Ce responded coldly.

"I've encountered such root consciousness before. The Eternal Green Pine belongs to the wood element. Unfortunately," Lü Buwei sighed, shaking his head.

"Unfortunately what?" Sima Ce sneered.

"Unfortunately, my root consciousness is 'fire and metal.' Metal overcomes wood, and fire destroys wood. It seems you're in trouble," Lü Buwei smiled.

"Trouble? Hahaha, do you think a mere mortal fire can harm my Eternal Green Pine? Ridiculous!" Sima Ce laughed derisively.

"Would you like to try?" Lü Buwei challenged with a cold smile.

Sima Ce's eyes narrowed as he glared at Lü Buwei.

Lü Buwei extended a finger, summoning a golden flame. Sima Ce's eyes narrowed, not because the flame was overly powerful, but because he felt no heat from it. What kind of fire was this? It contained metallic energy as well.

"Allow me to demonstrate," Lü Buwei said, preparing to direct the flame at the million-foot-tall Eternal Green Pine.

Suddenly, there was an interruption.

"Turn around, treasure!"

"Boom!"

Shenya Daojun's loud command was followed by a massive explosion. Everyone saw a flash of multicolored light, and a huge tear appeared in the space, revealing the world outside Sima Ce's 'world.'

The escape route was clear, and the emperors had an opportunity to leave.

Shenya Daojun had used his divine treasure to breach the barrier, demonstrating that even Sima Ce's 'world' could be broken. The collective strength and cunning of the emperors, combined with their divine treasures, proved that Sima Ce had underestimated his opponents significantly.

Kong Lietian and Shenya Daojun stepped out through the large hole, which slowly began to close. Sima Ce stared in disbelief.

"This, this, this...!" Sima Ce felt a sense of suffocation. He had just claimed that no one could break out of his 'world,' yet two people had already done so. Everything was going beyond his expectations.

The world quickly restored itself, and the slash from the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife was mended. Enraged, Sima Ce ordered, "You two, go capture them!"

"Yes!" The two Earth Immortals disappeared instantly.

Meanwhile, Lü Buwei's golden flame was already shooting toward the 'Eternal Green Pine.'

Previously, Sima Ce might have been cautious, but now he was furious. With a flash of his thought, the Eternal Green Pine erupted with a vast green light, reinforcing the entire 'world' by tenfold.

The golden flame touched the Eternal Green Pine.

"Boom!"

The scene was like a firestarter being thrown into a gasoline barrel. Suddenly, from the roots of the Eternal Green Pine, a blazing fire exploded upward, engulfing most of the million-foot-tall tree.

"No!"

The sudden disaster caused Sima Ce's expression to change dramatically. This was no longer just frustrating but utterly terrifying. His face turned pale as the severe damage to his root consciousness also inflicted severe harm on him.

"Buzz!"

The vast 'world' of Sima Ce instantly collapsed, leaving only the burning Eternal Green Pine.

Sima Ce felt like crying. What was happening? He was so disoriented by the continuous setbacks that he didn't even know what hit him.

With a thought, Sima Ce shrunk the Eternal Green Pine and absorbed it back into his body. Inside, he frantically tried to extinguish the flames, but the tree seemed to act as a catalyst for the fire, making Sima Ce's efforts exceedingly difficult and humiliating.

Sima Ce sat down cross-legged, his face alternating between red and white.

"Master!" The Earth Immortals gathered around him, looking panic-stricken. The Taotie also approached, confused about what was happening.

Sima Ce was in a tragic state. In an attempt to save the Eternal Green Pine, he had no choice but to sit down and resist the flames.

Zhong Shan, Di Xuan Sha, Ying, and Lü Buwei glanced at Sima Ce, then turned and flew away.

The remaining eight Earth Immortals watched them leave but were helpless. Their master's safety was paramount.

The Taotie roared a few times in Zhong Shan's direction, clearly still traumatized by the earlier encounter. Concerned for its master, it did not pursue.

Only Gu Zhengyi and Shen Qitian stayed behind.

Zhong Shan left, feeling speechless. Was Sima Ce sent by the Taichu Holy Court to provide them with entertainment?

Ying boarded the dragon chariot pulled by nine dragons. The Qin army led the way.

"Proceed!"

An elderly eunuch's loud call marked the departure, and Ying's entourage gradually vanished from the Earth Immortals' sight.

Half an hour after everyone had left, Sima Ce slowly opened his eyes. His face had not fully recovered, indicating that the fire on the Eternal Green Pine was still burning, though temporarily subdued. He could now spare some attention to address the situation.

Looking around, he demanded, "Where are they?"

"They left, Master," one of the Earth Immortals replied.

"You fools, go after them immediately!" Sima Ce roared.

"But, Master, what about you?" one of the Earth Immortals hesitated, showing concern.

"You three, go after the Qin people and kill them on the spot. The two of you, go after Zhong Shan and Di Xuan Sha, and kill them too," Sima Ce commanded.

"Roar!"

Taotie suddenly became agitated.

"You want to eat Zhong Shan?" Sima Ce asked, looking at Taotie.

"Roar," Taotie nodded.

"You two, take Taotie with you. When you kill Zhong Shan, ensure Taotie's safety," Sima Ce ordered coldly.

"Yes, sir!"

In no time, seven of the Earth Immortals left, leaving three behind to protect Sima Ce.

Gu Zhengyi stood aside, looking at Sima Ce with a slightly strange expression. Sima Ce wanted to use Gu Zhengyi to open the heavens, but Gu Zhengyi also wanted to use Sima Ce. If he could control this celestial being...

In the northwest, the Qin convoy was heading towards the Holy Capital of Xianyang, having already traveled millions of miles.

Suddenly, two figures appeared in front of the convoy—two Earth Immortals who had been pursuing them for over half an hour.

The Qin convoy came to a halt.

"Form the battle formation!" a general shouted.

"Ha!"

The Qin soldiers pointed their long spears forward, exuding a fierce killing intent that directly confronted the two Earth Immortals.

The Earth Immortals responded coldly, each drawing a long sword. Their orders were clear—kill them all!

As they were about to strike, the curtain of the dragon chariot parted, and Ying stepped out slowly. Lü Buwei was not nearby. Ying knew the strength of the Earth Immortals and was also aware of the capabilities of these Qin soldiers. They were not the elite troops, and it was clear they couldn't handle two Earth Immortals.

"You too want to kill me?" Ying asked indifferently.

"Our master has ordered us to kill you on the spot," one of the Earth Immortals replied.

"Kill me?" Ying let out a cold laugh.

Suddenly, Ying slowly extended his right hand.

The swords the Earth Immortals were about to wield suddenly halted. They saw something incredibly shocking.

From Ying's right palm, countless tiny light spots emerged, gradually forming within his hand.

These were not merely light spots. The Earth Immortals realized they were witnessing something far more profound. Ying's palm appeared like the depths of the universe, with countless stars and planets revolving in intricate patterns. His palm was like a miniature cosmos.

"Divine power? The universe in his palm!" one Earth Immortal exclaimed in terror.

Realizing the gravity of their situation, the Earth Immortals turned to flee without hesitation. However, Ying had already acted, and escape was impossible.

In an instant, the surroundings of the two Earth Immortals turned pitch black. Upon closer inspection, they found themselves at the center of a universe, with countless stars rotating in strange trajectories. This was a galaxy, something only seen in the Great Thousand World.

The Earth Immortals knew they were doomed. They were not in the depths of space but at the center of Ying's palm. The movement of the stars exerted immense pressure, crushing the two Earth Immortals.

With no room for resistance, the two Earth Immortals were pulverized into dust by the cosmic force.

Ying looked at his hand, gave a slight shake, and the countless stars in his palm vanished. He turned and walked back to the dragon chariot.

"Proceed!"

The convoy resumed its journey, disappearing from the sight of the remaining Earth Immortals.
