“Eh?” Somewhere in the Immortal Realm, the official who had led James Carter to the Immortal Execution Platform seemed to sense something, and exclaimed in surprise, “So fast?” After saying this, he immediately realized his lapse and waved his hand toward those behind him: “Send in another batch!”

James Carter was drinking water and resting when he suddenly noticed that the previously emptied Immortal Execution Platform was once again packed full, with another group of immortals being sent in.

Having already absorbed the life essence of the previous immortals, James Carter didn’t seem to feel tired at all. However, he still leisurely followed his own pace, slowly finishing the bowl of water in his hand before once again stepping onto the Immortal Execution Platform with steady steps.

Earth Deity, execute!

Mountain God, execute!

Heavenly Soldier, execute!

Strongman, execute!

Palace Maid, execute!

Child Attendant, execute!

……

“Before your body perishes and your Dao dissipates, do you have any unfulfilled wishes, senior? Perhaps I can help you accomplish one or two.” The same words came from James Carter’s mouth, but now carried an even more murderous tone.

“Every injustice has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor. We have no past grievances or recent enmity. I am simply doing my duty—my apologies!” The executioner’s professional phrase, which James Carter had repeated countless times, was spoken again as he cleanly executed all the prisoners awaiting judgment.

“Hiss—” Outside the Immortal Execution Platform, the supervising official gasped when he saw the platform had once again been cleared. Over two thousand immortals had been executed by James Carter in such a short time. Even he himself, faced with so many immortals, might not have been able to be so ruthless.

One must know, for a mere mortal to face so many immortals—even if they were just minor deities like mountain gods, earth deities, and low-ranking heavenly soldiers—they were still immortals, more noble than even their emperor. Yet he could kill them without hesitation. This person was simply a born executioner.

Another batch was sent in, and James Carter had figured out the pattern: each time, 1,200 were sent in, and after they were executed, another batch would follow. Just these lowest-level minor deities, James Carter had already killed more than a dozen rounds, nearly twenty thousand in total.

The rebellion in the Heavenly Court was no small matter. Although those rebels were resentful, they hadn’t dared to commit too many killings during the uprising, lest they cut off their own path of return. Most people treated these former Heavenly Court members as captives to be seized whenever possible, so James Carter had an especially large number of immortals to execute.

Around James Carter’s body, a faint blood-red aura had already appeared—a thick murderous energy from killing so many. Although the life essence had been absorbed by James Carter, the surging killing intent brought by the executions could not be dispelled in a short time.

By the end, those immortals who had lost all their powers would even tremble slightly in front of James Carter, not daring to meet his eyes, as if a sense of awe for James Carter arose from deep within their hearts.

After finishing off this batch and taking a brief rest, James Carter finally saw a different group of condemned prisoners. From their attire alone, it was clear that these immortals were of much higher rank.

“Thirty-six Heavenly Spirits, Seventy-two Earth Fiends, Twenty-eight Constellations, Twelve Celestial Stems!” Even James Carter couldn’t help but sigh—these once lofty deities had now all become prisoners awaiting execution at his feet.

“Before your body perishes and your Dao dissipates, do you have any unfulfilled wishes, senior? Perhaps I can help you accomplish one or two.” Surrounded by a red glow, James Carter spoke these words, truly making these immortals’ hearts tremble. Just how many immortals had he executed to develop a killing aura that even such high-level immortals would fear?

Unexpectedly, the higher the rank of the immortal, the more they valued their own legacy. James Carter’s words seemed to give them a final chance.

“I have a secret technique, the ‘Great Sun True Explanation.’ Help me find a suitable disciple and pass it on!”

“I have a hidden cave dwelling in the mortal world, on Azure Dome Mountain. The restriction method is as follows…”

“Before my ascension, there was a vein of Wood Element True Essence in my cave. If you have time, go retrieve it. Used with the ‘Wood Element True Art,’ it will have incredible effects. But you must help me find my old disciple in the Spirit Realm and pass on the Heaven and Earth Infinite Sword Formation. If you can’t find them, then it’s yours. Sigh!”

“I have here a ‘Essence Nurturing Scripture.’ Find someone fated and pass it on!”

“We have a twelve-person combined ‘Twelve Celestial Stems Sea-Suppressing Grand Formation’—it’s yours, use it to guard your cave!”

“The ‘Zhou Tian Constellation Grand Formation’ diagram—no need to ask about its power, it’s immense. It’s yours!”

“The ‘Heavenly Spirit Treasure Refining Art’—use it to refine your magic treasures when you have time. It’s yours, just don’t let it be lost.”

“The ‘Earth Fiend Sacrificial Array Art’—if you’re lucky, you can use it to refine seventy-two layers of formations on your magic treasures. Pass it on!”

……

One after another, almost all were cultivation techniques, formation arts, alchemical scriptures, artifact refining methods, and even lost cave dwellings. James Carter could hardly believe these people had so many treasures. And from what he could recall, all of these things were real. Especially the Twelve Celestial Stems Sea-Suppressing Grand Formation—it could directly elevate a blessed land to a whole new level, a truly heaven-defying formation.
