Counterattack System appeared when I'm already At The Mahayana Realm

Chapter 603: Chapter 602: The Origin of the Star Weapon (Thanks to the Wolf Guarding the Little Sheep for the Silver League Reward)

The transformation of the mother star into a weapon was a secret kept among the Body Integration Realm, and a taboo for the three rulers, a matter they didn’t wish to broach.

The Star Weapon was never activated. No one knew the power of the Star Weapon, but everyone knew that once it was triggered, none of the beings living on the planet would survive.

Some in the Body Integration Realm secretly calculated that the energy contained in the Star Weapon was horrifically powerful — even a Divinity Transformation Stage being would die if they stayed on the weapon’s surface.

As the entropy increases, the Ruler shouted, activating the Star Weapon. Sensing this change, the Heavenly Demon hastily stopped.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The Ruler of Entropy then took a moment to breathe and regain strength.

During that time, he never took his eyes off the Heavenly Demon.

When Jiang Li first arrived at the First Mother Star, he noticed that it too had been transformed into a Star Weapon.

Even at that time, he had a rough idea of the Star Weapon’s function.

Threaten the Heavenly Demon.

A ruler directly killing people, exterminating humanity, is there anything more despairing?

This could provoke the last thoughts of all beings, resulting in the formation of a Heavenly Dao embryonic form.

Ignoring Jiang Li, the embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao is the thing the fallen immortals fear the most, as it could end their lives.

The Heavenly Demon was ready to leave when Jiang Li suddenly appeared, blocking its path.

The Heavenly Demon, not recognizing Jiang Li, became frantic, displaying its Thousand-Hand Form, with the faces on its muscular surface reciting scriptures, terribly strange.

The scriptures contained an inexplicable power, capable of disrupting minds and driving people to insanity. The Heavenly Demon was muscular and robust, among the stoutest in the late Earth Immortal stage.

It can be said that it simultaneously possessed physical and mental attack methods, making it extremely difficult to deal with.

Jiang Li clenched his fist and struck down. The scripture ceased abruptly and the Heavenly Demon went into shock, overlapping its multitude of hands, nevertheless, they were as feeble as a sheet of paper against Jiang Li’s blow.

With a single punch, the Heavenly Demon was shattered into pieces, self-incinerating into ashes, disappearing without a trace.

The power of merit descended.

The three rulers were flabbergasted. They only realized then that Jiang Li had been holding back when he single-handedly fought against the three of them.

Killing the Heavenly Demon with a single punch, is this man in line with the laws of physics at all?

The Body Integration Realm assembly never expected that the major issue that had been plaguing their whole civilization for 6000 years would be resolved by a sudden stranger.

The President of the Meteor Corporation thought for a moment and slipped to the last row of the Body Integration Realm.

Previously, the president found it difficult to speak out, he didn’t tell the truth about the Star Weapon, but now seeing Jiang Li’s immense power, he feared retribution.

But Jiang Li had no intention of settling scores with the president of the Meteor Corporation. He approached an Integration Realm soldier, whose arms were damaged from the battle, and gave him a recovery pill to heal his body.

His arms had shattered from the source, making it hard to recover with existing technology.

Jiang Li then approached the three rulers and said with a smile, “You all fought well.”

The ruler of entropy scratched his head in embarrassment, unsure of how to respond.

Using the lives of the entire race as a bargaining chip to repel the Heavenly Demon was not something to be proud of, let alone mention to outsiders.

Bai Hongtu came to heal the three, “I read in history books that every time you fight with the Heavenly Demon, you’d start off at a disadvantage then turn the tables. So this is the method you used.”

Yu Yin said lightly, “There’s nothing to be ashamed of. Preserving the entire world is something to be proud of. Do you know how many worlds in the Ten Thousand Realms have been extinguished due to the machinations of the Immortal Realm?”

“You’re among the rare few who faced the methods of the Immortal Realm without falling into a disadvantage.”

The three rulers blushed at Yu Yin’s praise. After ordering the soldiers of the Integration Realm to return to their positions, they asked, “I wanted to ask before the fight, Jiang Li, you said the Heavenly Demon is from the Immortal Realm. What exactly is going on?”

“It’s a complicated matter, let me tell you slowly.” As the one with the most knowledge of the situation, it was natural for Jiang Li to explain.

…

“So that’s what happened. No wonder the venerable Dao ancestor said there were changes in the Heavenly Dao and one mustn’t ascend. It certainly is eye-opening for us rulers; especially for me,” the Ruler of Entropy said, having mentally leveled up.

When he heard of the Dao ancestor’s downfall, he was deeply saddened. But when he heard that the Dao ancestor had reincarnated into the Nine States, his mood brightened.

“By the way, how did you guys come up with the idea to use the entire human race’s lives to prevent the fallen immortals?”

Jiang Li was doubtful, as the creation of the celestial dao embryonic form through collective will wasn’t something one could observe.

“It wasn’t our idea. Someone told me,” the Ruler of Entropy said with a bitter smile.

“Who was it?”

Jiang Li reflected on when he first met the Ruler of Entropy. He had called himself a scientist researching ways to combat the Heavenly Demon, speaking of trial and error, and said everything he knew was heard from others.

The Ruler of Entropy recollected, “That was almost 6000 years ago when the Ascension Stairs just got severed, we were at a loss. We three, being the pillars, were under enormous pressure.”

“Then, a man in black suddenly approached us, saying that our world would face an enormous crisis and if we wanted to survive, we had to prepare to annihilate all humans.”

“At first, my two brothers scoffed at him, thinking his words were nonsensical and contradictory. Only I thought differently.”

“Despite being shrouded, I assumed that man was at least an Immortal. The Dao ancestor had mentioned that the Heavenly Dao had changed, and one shouldn’t ascend, indicating a major change in the Immortal Realm. It became a forbidden zone. The appearance of an Immortal at this time saying there’s an impending disaster and a way to survive, it’s difficult not to ponder.”

“However, we still didn’t believe him. A hundred years later, a terrifying, immortal-level monster appeared, we named it the Heavenly Demon.”

“The Heavenly Demon tried to kill us three. We managed to kill it after a difficult fight.”

“We realized that the Immortal’s words were true and immediately started transforming the planet, linking our lives to the Star Weapon.”

“Four hundred years went by, and the Heavenly Demon attacked again. When facing defeat, we risked everything by threatening the Heavenly Demon with the lives of all humans. To our surprise, it worked, the Heavenly Demon was repelled.”

“Although the method worked, we weren’t at ease using it without understanding its principles, especially given that it entailed the entire human race sitting over a bomb, making it extremely precarious.”

“We then decided to try to kill the Heavenly Demon. Since then, every time the Heavenly Demon attacked, we would call on the Body Integration Realm practitioners to ambush it, but we never succeeded and only managed to scare the Heavenly Demon away.”

“Oddly enough, every time a Heavenly Demon was scared off, the ones that came after were ridiculously powerful, much like today, where victory seemed impossible.”

“We were able to kill the Heavenly Demon for the first time today thanks to you.”

“Regarding the person who told you the method, do you have any clues about their identity?”

To Jiang Li’s surprise, the Ruler of Entropy nodded in affirmation.

“The man in the black robe may have thought he was completely concealed, but did he not expect to leave traces while walking around us observers?”

“I can confirm that the man’s true form is an immortal beast, a White Marsh.”
