Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 817 - 511: Authority
Chapter 817 -511: Authority
Atop the Immortal-Slaying Stage, Xingchi laughed heartily, still unbridled in his arrogance.
Beneath the Immortal-Slaying Stage, cultivators watched on, their discussions abuzz with speculation.
“This murderer Xingchi is a Five Calamities Demon Lord, with no ordinary strength.”
“I’ve heard he has even cultivated the Buddha Demon Body, the Vajra Invulnerable Body.”
“The Immortal-Slaying Stage is merely a Superior Immortal Implement, can it really behead him?”
...
“A Superior Immortal Implement is only of the seventh rank, while the Five Calamities Demon Lord stands at the ninth!”
“The difference between two realms is more vast than heaven and earth. If the Honored Wandao were here, with the suppression of Taoist law, he might be able to slay him, but now… there’s not even a single Calamity Immortal atop this Immortal-Slaying Stage!”
As the moment of execution approached, Xingchi remained brazen and fearless, prompting doubts to surface among the watching cultivators.
Atop the Immortal-Slaying Stage, the Law Enforcement Spirit Official remained impassive, announced the end of the records, and then cast the execution order arrow.
“Carry out the execution!”
Upon the arrow’s descent, two Golden Armor Divine Generals of the Mahayana Cultivation level immediately took action, pressing Xingchi firmly on the blade’s edge, and used execution instruments to shackle his limbs, his head resting on the blade and his body spread in the form of a big character on the Immortal-Slaying Stage.
However, facing the cold blade hanging above, he remained unfazed, shouting provocatively, “Come, let’s see if your blade is sharper, or if my Vajra Invulnerable Body is stronger, hahaha!”
In response to his words, the cultivators on the stage remained silent, the Golden Armor Divine Generals withdrew, and the Law Enforcement Spirit Official said nothing.
There was just one sound…
“Rumble!
Thunder suddenly roared and lightning struck the Execution Platform, targeting the indestructible Buddha Demon Body.
“Boom!!!”
A loud explosion followed, and sparks flew everywhere. Xingchi’s body shook as Buddha Energy and Demon Flow surged from within him, along with his crown revealing the Manifestation of Three Lights and his chest the Five Wheels Origin Veins, indicative of his practice in both Buddha and Demon paths and his achievements in the Tribulation Realm.
Being a Five Calamities Demon Lord, even as a prisoner sentenced to death, shackled by Taoist restraints and suppressed heavily, his true Calamity Venerable nature could not be changed. His Three Flowers were eternal, his Five Qi undiminished, making him difficult for ordinary people to slay.
Although the Immortal-Slaying Stage was extraordinary, it was nonetheless just a Superior Immortal Implement, and thinking it could behead a Five Calamities Demon Lord with a Buddha Demon Double Cultivation and a Vajra Invulnerable Body was, if not absurd, certainly impossible.
Thus, Xingchi so brazenly shouted, confident and fearless.
However…
“Whoosh!
In the midst of thunder, atop the Immortal-Slaying Stage, lightning continued to strike the Buddha Demon Body, causing the Three Lights above to flicker and the Five Qi in the chest to waver. The still-unfirmed Tribulation Realm Achievement seemed like a candle flame in the wind.
It was unstable, unclear!
“How…”
“How is this possible!”
“Ahh!!!!”
Before the onlookers could recover from their shock, a scream pierced the air—it was Xingchi, his eyes bulging with rage and full of unwillingness: “Li Liuxian, you…”

“Behead!!!”
Before he could finish his sentence, it was severed as the executioner’s blade fell swiftly, striking with a metallic clang.
“Thud!!!”
A muffled sound followed, and golden blood splattered, thick like mercury, spilling onto the Immortal-Slaying Stage along with dissipating Buddha Energy and Demon Flow.
A head with a distorted face, full of resentment and unwillingness, fell into the jade receptacle, lifeless.
Xingchi, the Five Calamities Demon Lord, met his demise.
Upon the Immortal-Slaying Stage lay another spirit of the Tribulation Realm, its blood imbued with the evil of Buddha and Demon soaking into the stage, adding to its fearsome and malevolent aura.
The Law Enforcement Celestial Soldiers stepped onto the stage, collected the remains of the Demon Monk, and cleansed away all traces. The Buddha Demon blood, thick as mercury, dissolved of its own accord, absorbed by the edge of the blade.
“This…”
Witnessing such a scene left the cultivators speechless, yet they found no words to express their amazement.
In recent years, due to the Wandao School, the Immortal-Slaying Stage had seen countless lives taken, from Calamity Immortals and Demon Lords to Mahayana Unity and Returning to Void and Becoming Divine Realm practitioners. Those who overstepped the Thunder Pond were all brought here to face public execution. However, the slaying of a Five Calamity Demon Lord was unprecedented.
There were two reasons for this: first, beings in the Tribulation Realm are hard to capture, not to mention those of the Five Calamities. With the might to surpass the third trial, Xingchi as a Five Calamity Venerable was already among the stronger in the Tribulation Realm. Defeating him was challenging enough, let alone capturing him alive.
Second, beings in the Tribulation Realm are hard to kill. Just as previously stated, a Five Calamity Venerable holds an extraordinary status. If the Honored Wandao himself held the Nine Rituals Heavenly Sword, then without question, but just relying on this Immortal-Slaying Stage, how could it be possible to behead a Five Calamity Demon Lord?
So, prior to today, no Five Calamity Venerable had ever spilled blood on the Immortal-Slaying Stage; those executed were mostly newly ascended Venerables below the third trial, in the first or second Tribulation Realm.
But now…
“That Honored Wandao…”
“Has advanced even further!”
“Not only did he capture a Five Calamities Demon Lord, but he also brought him here for a rightful public execution.”
“The thunder just now seemed to involve the mechanisms of Yin and Yang and the logic of the Five Elements; it placed a prohibition on the Demon Monk’s Three Flowers and Five Qi, causing his Tribulation Realm Achievement to dissipate and be decapitated under the blade.”
“Was it the Art of Array Formation or the Art of Divine Abilities?”
“Whether through Formation or Divine Power, anyone capable of restraining the Three Flowers and Five Qi and rendering their Taoist Result void demonstrates…”
“That the Honored Wandao has ascended to the Tribulation Realm?!”
The cultivators regained their composure, exchanging glances that reflected their shock.
“Even if he hasn’t, he’s not far from it!”
“The Honored Wandao, with his astonishing talent and extraordinary disposition, coupled with great destiny, and wielding both the Heavenly Mechanics Methods and the Nine Rituals Heavenly Sword, could match a Nine Tribulations True Immortal even with his Great Vehicle Body. If he advances one step further…”
“It’s not just about the Honored Wandao; the Immortal-Slaying Stage itself is also extraordinary.”
“Ever since 3,000 years ago, when the Wandao School made a pact with the Heavenly Court to have jurisdiction over Ascension and patrol the heavens, how many cultivator lives has this Immortal-Slaying Stage claimed?”
“Though the stage is but a Superior Immortal Implement, it was fashioned by the Honored Wandao and named for the way of slaying immortals. With such accumulation over time, it will one day ascend to a top-quality Immortal Implement, and even a ninth order Immortal Treasure.”
“It’s more than just an Immortal Treasure; the Wandao School’s authority over Ascension, patrolling the heavens, capturing Earth Immortals, Demons, and evil cultivators from all realms, adhering to the school’s statutes and the Heavenly Court’s laws to mete out judgments—over time, this will establish an iron law in people’s hearts and a net of Heavenly Dao justice!”
