Chapter 404 Who exactly are you?
At the foot of the snow-capped mountain, the wind was still blowing coldly, but this did not affect Li Ze at all.
He stood there casually, twirling beads in his hand, as relaxed as if he were chatting with someone on the roadside while out buying groceries.
Before him stood the old monster in the gray, worn-out Taoist robe who claimed to be a Golden Core cultivator; his expression was now completely distorted.
"You're asking for it!"
The old monster roared, and the sound echoed through the valley.
He had lived for over a hundred years, spent thirty years in seclusion, and considered himself invincible on Earth. He had never suffered such an insult before.
He pointed at Li Ze, his eyes gleaming with increasing intensity, and shouted:
"It seems that the mortals of the mortal realm truly have no idea what heaven and earth are!"
"You don't even put me, a Golden Core stage expert, in your eyes!"
The old monster's tone was full of arrogance, and also carried a crazy ambition.
"I originally planned to continue my seclusion deep in these snowy mountains. I would formally enter the mortal world to manifest my sainthood once I broke through to the Nascent Soul stage."
"When the time comes, I'll let all mortals know my power, make them all kneel at my feet, and give me all the world's resources and wealth to cultivate and serve me!"
"Only in this way can I break through to the Nascent Soul stage faster!"
"But now it seems there's no need for that."
The old monster looked at Li Ze, and the smile on his face became extremely cruel.
"Since you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, I'll use you as a sacrifice today!"
"Kill you, the world's richest man, take over your wealth, and I can still rule the world!"
"Go to hell!"
After saying that, the old monster's body suddenly flew up.
He clasped his hands together in front of his chest and then pushed forward forcefully.
That dazzling golden light instantly transformed into a gigantic golden handprint, carrying overwhelming power as it slammed directly towards Li Ze.
This attack was delivered by the old monster using all of his Golden Core cultivation.
He is very confident.
He believed that no one on Earth could withstand his attack. Even a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator would be smashed into mincemeat by this palm strike.
He was even prepared to see Li Ze smashed to pieces.
however.
Faced with the menacing golden handprint, Li Ze stood still, without moving an inch.
He didn't even lift his eyelids, continuing to slowly pluck a bead in his hand.
Just when the huge golden handprint was less than a meter away from Li Ze.
suddenly!
The old monster's body suddenly froze in mid-air.
The cruel, triumphant smile on his face froze instantly.
An indescribable, terrifying force suddenly pressed down from all directions, directly crushing his body.
This power has no color and no sound, yet it is so powerful that it inspires despair.
The old monster felt as if his body was being crushed by tens of thousands of mountains at the same time.
The golden core within his body couldn't even twitch before that power. The golden light emanating from his body vanished instantly, like a flame extinguished by a bucket of cold water.
The enormous golden handprint that was originally aimed at Li Ze disintegrated in mid-air under the pressure of this force.
"Bang!"
The old monster's body fell directly from mid-air and crashed heavily onto the snow.
He lay face down on the ground, arms and legs outstretched, pinned down by an invisible force, unable to move even a finger.
"This... is impossible!"
"How is this possible!"
The old monster lay on the snow, desperately trying to lift his head, but his neck wouldn't obey him.
His heart was filled with extreme fear and disbelief.
He's at the Golden Core stage! He's one of the top beings on Earth! How could someone pin him to the ground and render him immobile without even lifting a finger?
He frantically rolled his eyes, staring at Li Ze, who stood not far away, his clothes perfectly straight.
The old monster's voice trembled as he cried out in terror:
"Who...who exactly are you?"
"You're not at the Foundation Establishment stage!"
"You...you're not a Nascent Soul cultivator, are you?!"
In the old monster's mind, the only ones who could so easily crush a Golden Core cultivator were the legendary Nascent Soul cultivators who had long since left Earth.
Li Ze stood there, and upon hearing the old monster's words, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Ha ha."
Li Ze shook his head, his tone very relaxed, yet tinged with a hint of helplessness.
He slowly walked up to the old monster, squatted down, and looked at the old man who was lying on the ground trembling.
"Nascent Soul stage?"
Li Ze patted the old monster's face and said with a smile:
"Old man, your imagination is really lacking."
"In my eyes, what is the Qi Refining stage, the Golden Core stage, or that Nascent Soul stage you mentioned?"
Li Ze stood up and looked down at him.
"It's all garbage."
Upon hearing this, the old monster's eyes widened instantly.
Not in the Nascent Soul stage?
Even more powerful than the Nascent Soul stage, and yet they call the Nascent Soul stage trash?
A terrifying thought suddenly popped into the old monster's mind.
He lived to be over a hundred years old and had read some legends about the highest beings in the cultivation world in ancient books.
Could it be... could it be that this middle-aged man in casual clothes...
The old monster's voice had completely changed; he cried out in despair:
"You...you are not only not a Nascent Soul cultivator...you are not even a Deity Transformation cultivator..."
"You...you could be...?"
"A powerful being from the Celestial Realm?!"
Li Ze did not answer his question.
He felt he had already talked enough with the old man. He needed to rush back to Han City to have dinner with Ruoran, and he also had to prepare for the wedding next month; he didn't want to waste any more time here.
"Alright, old man, you can go now."
Li Ze said it very casually.
"No!!!"
The old monster let out its last scream.
His voice was filled with endless regret and fear. If he had known earlier that Li Ze was someone of this caliber, he would have hidden in the deep mountains for the rest of his life and would never have come out, even if it meant his death.
But it's too late to regret it now.
Li Ze only had a fleeting thought in his mind.
"Bang!"
The old monster's body, just like Lu Xia's before, exploded directly on the snow.
Not a single drop of blood was left behind; it was all vaporized by that terrifying power and vanished completely.
At the foot of the snow-capped mountain, silence returned once more.
Only the wind is still blowing.
Li Ze stood still and put the beads in his hand into his pocket.
He patted a few snowflakes off his clothes and muttered to himself very casually:
"Resolved. You can go home now."
