In the Virtual Universe Slaughterhouse, the battle between Li Che and the Marquis-level simulated opponent continued.
"Clang, clang!"
As a virtual projection confirmed by the virtual universe as an elementary Marquis, the mock opponent's combat power was naturally beyond doubt. His physical fitness, combat awareness, and instincts were all extremely skilled, without the slightest flaw in sight.
The Gold Origin Law was completely mastered, and the Space Origin Laws were mastered to a significant extent. These laws further blessed his combat power, and sword qi surged to the heavens, slashing the surrounding space into endless fissures.
And after all these methods failed to suppress Li Che, this simulated Undying Deity chose to escalate further, simultaneously unleashing an undying secret art.
It was a sword technique never seen before, one that fully reached the level of an elementary Marquis. Every time a sword was swung, it carried an unmatched aggressiveness.
According to the assessment of the Divine Master Rongbing, under the condition of full power output, the virtual immortal's divine-power base strength could already be considered quite good among elementary Marquises.
Such a base coupled with secret arts, law comprehension, and various other aspects made his combat power firmly that of an elementary Marquis-level fighter.
Compared to Iron Sword Marquis himself, such combat power was probably not much inferior.
She saw that after the virtual immortal completely erupted, even though Li Che's application of the two major origin laws of earth and space was already profound, he still fell into a disadvantage right away.
However, neither the Rongbing nor Qiyao immortal lords wore any extra expression on their faces.
They had seen that scroll personally painted by Li Che in his virtual universe villa, understanding that Li Che's development of the Earth Origin Law was extremely deep, far surpassing the standard they currently saw.
"Boom!"
Under the expectant gazes of the two gods, after stubbornly resisting the virtual immortal for a moment, Li Che finally completely grew accustomed to this Undying Deity's rhythm. With a sudden burst of power, he actually smashed the virtual immortal flying with a single battle spear.
At this moment, the Rong Bing Army Master felt an extremely profound and vast law fluctuation burst forth from the tier-6 force weapon in Li Che's hand.
The Dark Sea Battle Spear, although such a tier-6 peak weapon was expensive and exquisitely crafted, was ultimately just a standard weapon produced from the five major powers' workshop systems, and its blessing to combat power had not reached a heaven-defying level.
Yet, after being enhanced by Li Che's secret art, this battle spear unexpectedly gained an incomparable might.
It was an unusual application of the Origin Laws, causing the pitch-black battle spear to be stained with another layer of deep dark light. It immediately caused the entire battle spear to erupt with unimaginable gravity, and the overbearing gravity tore apart space, swallowing even the surrounding light and distorting space itself.
That sensation felt as if Li Che and the weapon in his hand had transformed into a black hole in this instant!
"Guixu!"
This was a self-created secret art that Li Che had spent nearly fifty thousand years at the World Lord tier consolidating, a result he created by referencing the black hole celestial bodies of the Primitive Universe and the Hunyuan laws of the Snowy Eagle universe.
Ultimate density, ultimate mass, and ultimate gravity brought about ultimate destructive power!
Blessed by this mighty force close to a true black hole celestial body, the battle spear in Li Che's hand was incomparably frantic, fiercely whipping against the tier-6 force greatsword in the virtual immortal's grip.
"Thud!"
The two force weapons collided once more. Even though the virtual immortal's power had become very, very strong under his full outburst, he was still sent flying sideways by a single strike of Li Che's battle spear.
"Heavens!"
Rong Bing and Qi Yao, the two Undying Deities, watched in absolute shock as that virtual immortal flew sideways beneath Li Che's battle spear, even forcefully smashing through the image of a star, dumbfounded beyond measure.
Both of them could be considered quite seasoned Immortal Military Lords, with base divine powers at around 700 times the peak World Lord power, and law comprehension and secret arts considered merely average. They were well aware of just how huge the gap was between Undying Deities and World Lords.
Yet Li Che had truly accomplished this cross-realm battle, a mere World Lord actually beating back an Undying Deity at the elementary Marquis level.
"Swish!"
Simultaneously, outside the killing space where Licheng resided, within an independent space of the Virtual Universe Killing Fields, another immortal god with a single horn on his head and the appearance of a burly elder stood with his hands behind his back, also observing the battle between Licheng and the virtual immortal.
Without a doubt, this was precisely the immortal god dispatched by the Virtual Universe Company to manage the Rongbing Empire's killing fields. Through the Virtual Universe Company's authority, he understood the many details of Licheng's battle in great detail.
"Inconceivable. Relying merely on a divine power amplification armor of around 300 times peak World Lord power, he actually managed to fight to a draw with an elementary Marquis? How deep is his level of law comprehension? Is this really a World Lord?"
Until watching the battle between Li Che and the virtual immortal continue, this Undying Deity let out a low sigh.
Behind this Undying Deity, two World Lords with Origin Laws marks between their brows exchanged glances. One of them stepped forward and said in a deep voice:
"Lord Manlin, that is the first imperial prince conferred by the Divine Master Rongbing over fifty thousand years ago. He is a genius who mastered the Earth Origin Law back at the Stellar Level. We once tried to recruit him to join the company, but we heard he went to the Extraterrestrial Battlefield back when he was at the Universe level."
Hearing this, the Undying Deity named Manlin pondered slightly before nodding:
"I've heard of him. I didn't expect that in merely five-plus epochs, he would reach the level of a Marquis immortal at the World Master Level. This rate of progress is simply fast enough to catch up to some of the company's top geniuses."
Hearing this, the two World Lords acknowledged by the origin laws agreed wholeheartedly.
They were both bottom-layer core members of the Virtual Universe Company and were well aware of just how exaggerated the combat power of those top core members was during the World Lord period.
Like those top-tier seasoned genius World Lords in the Primal Secret Realm, even the current Li Che fell somewhat short compared to them.
Yet the terrifying part was that Li Che had basically not received any high-level guidance from strong practitioners over all these years. Querying through the virtual universe authority, he had at most purchased a few immortal-grade secret arts of the Earth Origin Law through the Extraterrestrial Battlefield's military service system.
"Issue the order. Store this World Lord Li Che's name in the special talent introduction list. I will report it to the higher-ups and see if any big figures are willing to guide him into the company."
Army Master Manlin evidently realized this as well. After lingering in slight silence, he spoke softly.
"Understood!"
Hearing this, the two World Lords hurriedly lowered their heads deeply.
Li Che continued his battle with the virtual immortal, which finally concluded only when the six-hour term of the Slaughterhouse expired.
Both Immortal Military Lords Rong Bing and Qi Yao felt immense shock at Li Che's performance.
Because the combat power Li Che displayed had completely surpassed their understanding of a World Lord. In the later stages, he basically suppressed the virtual immortal the entire time, and even sustained almost no injuries himself.
"It's just a pity. I lack divine power, and facing an enemy with an undying body, my means are still stretched thin." Li Che instead appeared somewhat regretful.
Although he could completely suppress the virtual immortal in terms of explosive output, because that Undying Deity had already completed the high-level application of divine power and mastered an undying body, even with Li Che's overwhelming power and a six-hour battle, the virtual immortal's divine power consumption was less than 1%.
Furthermore, the virtual Undying Deity never employed the method of burning divine power. This point required vigilance in actual combat, because after all, if an Undying Deity risked burning divine power even at the cost of damaging their soul, the corresponding instantaneous explosive power gained in exchange would be quite terrifying.
"That's easy to handle. Later on, I'll purchase some law toxins through the Extraterrestrial Battlefield system. Our goal is only to defeat Iron Sword Marquis. Law toxins capable of briefly suppressing elementary Marquis-level divine power are expensive, but we can afford them." Divine Master Rongbing, however, was quite satisfied with the combat power Li Che displayed.
"When will World Lord Li's true body be able to return to the Rongbing Starfield?" asked Divine Master Qiyao, who bore four pairs of wings. Upon witnessing Li Che's terrifying strength, her attitude also turned very courteous.
"Soon. He can return within a year or two," Li Che promised.
