Battle Against a King-Level Immortal

As long as he discovered that Golden Cauldron King's strength exceeded his ability to cope, Tang Ping would choose to prioritize his survival without hesitation. While it might be impossible to escape once inside the other party's God Kingdom, his Flight Palace Type Supreme Treasure was enough to ensure he remained absolutely safe.

Staying inside the treasure palace, let alone a mere King-Level Immortal, even a Venerable-level powerhouse might not necessarily be able to do anything to him. Furthermore, it was unlikely that Golden Cauldron King could even invite a Venerable, or even if he could, he certainly wouldn't; he wouldn't even invite other King-Level Immortals.

As long as he kept Tang Ping trapped in his God Kingdom, he had a chance to obtain everything. Under such circumstances, no one would be willing to share such massive benefits with others, not to mention that doing so would likely be inviting a wolf into the house.

After all, if a Venerable really did arrive, wouldn't it be sweet for them to finish off Tang Ping, then finish off Golden Cauldron King as well, and swallow all the benefits alone?

As for being trapped in the other party's God Kingdom without dying, Tang Ping was not afraid at all. Given his cultivation speed, even if he truly couldn't beat the opponent now, it wouldn't be long before he could turn the tables and beat the other party to a pulp.

Having ensured his absolute safety, Tang Ping no longer hesitated. With a thought, the Chaos Sword Formation unfolded, and over ten thousand small heavy-treasure-grade swords flew out instantly, their connections faintly linked by threads of secret patterns.

"Boom!"

Although Tang Ping was only at the World Lord Level and could only display one-billionth of the true power of this High-Level Domain Type Supreme Treasure, it was still more than enough to easily and utterly annihilate the casual strike Golden Cauldron King had launched with his Immortal Divine Power, without even causing a ripple.

The Void Divine Power that followed closely behind successfully passed through the range of the treasure domain to reach Tang Ping, but it was easily blocked without causing any effect.

"A Set Heavy Treasure Domain? A Soul Defense Type Heavy Treasure?" Although his attack had no effect, the look on Golden Cauldron King's face became even more fanatical.

Clearly, he had already marked Tang Ping as his own prize. The more treasures Tang Ping possessed, the greater his harvest would be. Seeing Tang Ping use treasures that made him drool with envy, he was naturally incredibly excited.

Unfortunately, he was just a small fry who had barely reached the King-Level and lacked vision, mistaking Tang Ping's High-Level Supreme Treasure Set for a mere heavy treasure. Even if he had known it was a Supreme Treasure, he likely wouldn't have believed he couldn't defeat Tang Ping.

After all, even Kedi, the peerless genius of the Human Race who appeared once every trillion eras, had never managed to rival a King-Level while at the World Lord Level (though this was because the Chaos City Lord was too focused on fairness and gave him no Supreme Treasures, and without a protagonist's halo, he couldn't obtain them himself). A small character like Golden Cauldron King naturally wouldn't believe that any World Lord could defy the heavens to the point of defeating a King-Level Immortal.

"Golden Cauldron, emerge! Suppress!" Golden Cauldron King confidently summoned his signature treasure—a Pseudo-Heavy Treasure grade golden cauldron. Clearly, a Golden Cauldron King who had only barely reached the King-Level did not possess any true heavy-treasure-grade items.

However, although it was only a Pseudo-Heavy Treasure, it was a weapon he had used for many years, and his compatibility with it was very high. Coupled with the fact that he was driving it with his Immortal Divine Power, its momentum was by no means inferior to the true heavy treasures Tang Ping used.

But unfortunately, what Tang Ping was using was not a heavy treasure, but a Supreme Treasure—a High-Level Supreme Treasure Set.

The golden cauldron charged toward Tang Ping with imposing momentum, but as soon as it entered the range of the Chaos Sword Formation, its speed plummeted as if it had fallen into a quagmire. By the time it neared Tang Ping, its speed was practically crawling.

Seeing this, Golden Cauldron King's expression changed. He wanted to recall the cauldron but found himself in a dilemma, so he had to bite the bullet and continue controlling it to attack Tang Ping.

Tang Ping naturally wouldn't just wait for the attack to arrive. The Wing Supreme Treasure on his back flickered, and he appeared in front of the golden cauldron as if teleporting.

"Break!"

With a sharp cry, he swung his sword in a straightforward, unadorned strike toward the struggling cauldron.

"Puchi!"

As easily as a sharp blade slicing through tofu, the longsword—boosted by the set effect to the level of a High-Level Supreme Treasure—effortlessly cleaved the golden cauldron in two.

"Ah... Pfft..."

Tang Ping didn't care for this Pseudo-Heavy Treasure and had sliced it in half without hesitation. Golden Cauldron King had always viewed it as his lifeline, and since the destruction of a treasure that had been soul-bound for years caused a backlash, he was so infuriated that he felt like vomiting blood.

However, as an Immortal, he was no longer made of flesh and blood and had no blood to spit. Instead, the aura of his divine body weakened by a small fraction, though the loss was within 10% and did not significantly affect his strength.

While the loss of divine body had little impact on his strength, the loss of the golden cauldron was a significant blow to Golden Cauldron King.

At this point, no matter how hard it was to believe, Golden Cauldron King knew he had kicked a steel plate today.

But it was easier to invite a god than to send one away. He had chosen to fight in his own God Kingdom to ensure there were no mishaps, but now that had become the source of his predicament.

A God Kingdom was the foundation of an Immortal. Once one chose to lure an enemy into their God Kingdom, it destined the battle to be a fight to the death.

Therefore, no matter how unwilling or unreconciled Golden Cauldron King felt, he had only one choice: to give his all and see if he could defeat Tang Ping.

"Burn divine body! God Kingdom reinforcement!" With a flash of madness and ruthlessness in his eyes, Golden Cauldron King, having no way out, chose to burn his divine body and apply the foundation-destroying reinforcement of his God Kingdom.

Under normal circumstances, he had no hope left, so he naturally couldn't care about the future. He gambled everything in a frenzy; if he could kill Tang Ping, he would not only break even but also make a huge profit. As for enslaving Tang Ping, he had already abandoned that hope.

"Oh... so you're going all out? Then come on, it's a good time to test my new move." Looking at the apocalyptic collapse of the world inside the God Kingdom and the crazily rising aura of Golden Cauldron King, how could Tang Ping not know the other party was preparing to fight to the death?

"Chaos Sword Formation, First Form—Heavenly Execution!"

Whether it was suppressing the golden cauldron earlier or slicing it in two, those were merely the basic functions of the Supreme Treasure set and couldn't be considered true moves. What Tang Ping was using now was the true technique contained within the Chaos Sword Formation.

As Tang Ping moved his mind, about one-tenth of the small sword components in the Chaos Sword Formation lit up in unison. Carrying the law-based secret patterns radiating from them, they soared into the sky and linked together, forming a longsword covered in intricate and mysterious patterns.

The longsword moved gently, instantly traversing the void to appear out of thin air before Golden Cauldron King, stabbing toward him without hesitation.

This move would surely look extremely familiar to some, but there was no helping it; after all, our great Treasure Refiner leveled up too quickly, and his actual experience was still too shallow.
