Torture
After speaking, Lu Li waited quietly in place, with only the vast black hole behind him spinning.
The immense gravitational force condensed into a beam, capturing all the immortals.
The Three Pure Ones, the Jade Emperor, and the 100,000 heavenly soldiers felt as if they had been thrown into a giant millstone, being repeatedly crushed and torn apart.
It would take a concentrated effort of all one's magical power to barely withstand the attack, and even then, it wouldn't last long.
Light spots continuously peeled off the bodies of the immortals and flowed into the black hole.
This is the magical power and physical matter that were "quantum-crushed" by gravitational waves.
And it wasn't just them; even those slightly weaker but stronger individuals, such as Great Immortal Zhenyuan and the Bull Demon King, also excelled.
They were originally just observing from afar, but now they have all suffered, captured by the black hole's gravity and trapped in a state of quantum annihilation.
Even the various blessed lands and grotto-heavens were affected, shaking violently.
The Primordial Chaos is a wide-area skill. After Lu Li's cultivation greatly improved, the black hole he created had a diameter of 2,000 kilometers and could affect most of the Solar System.
No one can escape or hide.
The immortals looked extremely grim, all turning to the Three Pure Ones and the Jade Emperor for a decision.
The choice is not difficult to make; Lu Li is fully capable of resolving the entire galaxy.
This is a terrifying catastrophe; we definitely can't act recklessly.
Grand Supreme Elder Lao bowed and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, please speak freely, and we will do our best to fulfill your request."
"What I want is very simple."
Lu Li raised his hand and clenched it, and an invisible force uprooted the Western Spirit Mountain.
This final destination on the pilgrimage, this blessed Buddhist land, was stretched into a noodle shape by gravity and sucked into a black hole.
Everyone roughly knew what Lu Li wanted, and Lu Li also said:
"I will leave once I have enough rare and precious materials to fill the black hole."
The scene was completely silent. Then, Grand Supreme Elder Lao took the lead, took a "Purple Gold Gourd" from his waist, poured out several elixirs, and threw them into the black hole.
Being torn apart by the black hole was quite unpleasant, so the immortals dared not linger and offered their spiritual items to the black hole.
Some cunning people deliberately dawdle or use worthless things to get by.
But with every extra second, the damage from the black hole increases, and if this continues, their lives may be in danger.
Moreover, many fellow practitioners, even the Three Pure Ones and the Jade Emperor, are watching; how can you expect to get away with anything?
The immortals offered up their treasures, and even Zhen Yuanzi handed over five "Ginseng Fruit".
Vast amounts of treasure fell into the bottomless pit and vanished in the blink of an eye.
However, the black hole's operation did not slow down at all; after devouring many spiritual objects, its mass increased and its power became even stronger.
This was simply a bottomless pit that could never be filled, and the immortals couldn't help but hesitate.
Lu Li raised his hand and pointed at the Neutron Five Elements Mountain, sucking the Tathagata pressing down below into the black hole.
Anyone who falls into it, whether human or object, will be "quantum-shattered" and turned into nourishment for the spiritual realm.
Seeing this, Grand Supreme Elder Lao immediately addressed the crowd, saying, "To be able to avert a great calamity for this world is a meritorious deed indeed."
After saying that, he threw the entire "Purple Gold Gourd" into the black hole.
With such an example set, and with the black hole continuing to exert pressure, the immortals dared not slack off and continued to offer all sorts of treasures.
Even the Jade Emperor reluctantly threw away hundreds of Immortal Peach, as these longevity-extending divine objects were naturally quite valuable.
The black hole devoured everything, and its mass increased further, causing many mid-level immortals to be unable to withstand it.
More and more light spots peeled off his body, making him seem as if he were about to dissolve.
They cared about nothing else but filling the black hole as quickly as possible and offering up the true treasure.
The Four Heavenly Kings handed over their pipa, Treasure Sword, Crystal Hammer, and Treasure Umbrella, and even Nezha's Universe Ring.
These magical artifacts further amplified the power of the black hole, and soon even immortals of Li Jing's caliber could not withstand it.
The magical objects were thrown into the black hole like raindrops, creating a spectacular scene.
Seeing that this group had fought so hard, Lu Li extended his gravitational pull to a more distant location, anchoring it to those powerful but absent monsters.
Great demons like the White Deer Spirit, the Goldfish Spirit, and the Nine-Headed Insect were directly pulled over by the gravitational pull.
"Immortal, spare my life! Immortal, spare my life!"
The demons begged for mercy, but Lu Li showed no mercy to a group of man-eating monsters, swallowing them all into the black hole.
At this moment, everyone in the Six Realms knows that a great demon has arrived and is torturing all the immortals, gods, and monsters.
Ignore these lower-level Lu Li, focusing instead on the high-ranking Heavenly Immortal and the cannibalistic demon king.
However, at a huge cost, the black hole's power only grew stronger, putting even the Three Pure Ones and the Jade Emperor under immense pressure.
They exhibited the signs of the five signs of decay in celestial beings: their bodies became dull and withered, and they suddenly developed a foul odor.
Grand Supreme Elder Lao was trying to get a better deal from Lu Li and negotiate the price.
Wan Qing suddenly spoke up:
"So that Laozi may know, my husband may simply devour this realm; this is already an exception out of consideration for our shared origin."
If he wanted efficiency, Lu Li could just devour the entire planet. Not only would he gain karmic power, but the treasures would also be his.
So this torture was truly merciful. Laozi said no more, bowed to Wan Qing in thanks, and then drew his belt, the "Gold-Binding Rope," and threw it, along with the Diamond Ring, into the black hole.
The Jade Emperor also waved his sleeve and threw out a hundred "Purple Pattern" Immortal Peach.
These are the finest Immortal Peach, described in the original text as ripening only once every 9,000 years, and eating them grants one the lifespan of heaven and earth, and the same age as the sun and moon.
It's not actually that exaggerated, but it is undoubtedly a top-tier longevity-enhancing spiritual object, of paramount importance to the Jade Emperor in governing all immortals and overseeing the Three Realms.
Even Lu Li treated her differently, and instead of crushing the Spiritual Peach, he brought it intact into the spirit realm for his wives.
"Try it, and then try planting it."
"Okay~"
Xiao Cha quickly grabbed one and took a bite, laughing heartily as she said:
"I used to dream about trying it when I was a kid, I never thought it would actually happen."
Xia Weiyin also ate some, examining the peach pit and saying, "It's full of life; it shouldn't be difficult to grow."
Cross-Realm seedling cultivation should be extremely difficult, but the women have planted Spiritual Plant all over two spiritual stars, so they are experienced and naturally confident.
Lu Li smiled and stopped paying attention, refocusing his attention on the outside world.
All the powerful figures in Journey to the West, whose names are recorded, are now on the verge of death from exhaustion. Even the Bull Demon King has given his Banana Leaf Fan to the Black Hole.
This time, a total of 100,000 items were collected, including various magical treasures, spiritual objects, and powerful demons.
If it's all refined, it should increase the spiritual realm by at least 10%.
Lu Li felt that it was about time, so he raised his hand and waved it to stop the black hole from rotating.
The Immortal Elder breathed a sigh of relief, Grand Supreme Elder Lao asked, "Fellow Daoist, are you satisfied?"
"We're basically satisfied. Goodbye for now."
Lu Li was always decisive. He tore open the crack in the Sea of Consciousness on the spot and left with Wan Qing.
Only when the gap had completely disappeared, ensuring that Lu Li was truly gone, did the immortals finally relax.
Grand Supreme Elder Lao said with relief, "Fortunately, that person had no ill intentions; he allowed us to lose money to avoid disaster."
The Jade Emperor knew he had only escaped by luck. He glanced at Spirit Mountain, now just a sinkhole, and said in a deep voice:
"From this day forward, you are forbidden from harming mortals, and you must especially keep a close watch on your mounts and spirit pets!"
The immortals all nodded in agreement, none of them wanting to end up like Spirit Mountain.
