In the small resting room, James Carter slept soundly without caring about anything, then worked hard to calm himself down, which finally eased the overwhelming murderous intent that had been emanating from his body. Although the red clouds were still surging, they were no longer so blood-red and terrifying. After recuperating, James Carter returned to the Execution Platform.

From the mouths of the important figures, there was almost no more complaint to be heard. Victory is victory, defeat is defeat. They had done their utmost, and though they ended up like this, there was not so much unwillingness or disappointment—just an extraordinary sense of relief.

“I have a nourishing medicine gourd, it’s in the lower realm…”

“I have spent my whole life refining a strand of pure yang sword energy, never distracted by anything else. Its power is boundless. If you’re interested, you can try cultivating it yourself!”

“To be able to form a good connection with you before dying, I have a set of formation flags, I’ll give them to you!”

…

James Carter calmly received these messages, and just as calmly spoke his usual phrase, “Every injustice has its perpetrator, every debt has its debtor.” One by one, he beheaded these once-familiar immortals.

If it was the lesser immortals before, James Carter could indeed act without any ripple in his heart, but these higher immortals were a completely different matter. In fact, for each of these higher immortals, James Carter had to condense a surge of murderous intent within himself to maintain such calm.

With each beheading of a higher immortal, James Carter could almost feel the tremendous changes happening inside his body—this was even more terrifying than killing tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people. As for merit points, James Carter no longer paid attention; they had long surpassed a trillion, and were even approaching the unit of a 京 (ten quadrillion). Presumably, after a few more, he would break through the one 京 (ten quadrillion) mark.

Outside the Execution Platform, several celestial soldiers who had originally been guarding it were now constantly feeling wave after wave of intense murderous intent from within, and couldn’t help but tremble one by one. They were just ordinary heavenly soldiers—how could they withstand such terrifying murderous intent? If not for their orders from above, they would have fled to who knows where by now.

Even the The Executioner couldn’t help but tremble, and seeing the celestial soldiers shivering, he said, “This Execution Platform is the only immortal artifact that can connect the mortal world and the Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Court only allows entry, not exit; the mortal realm can enter, but not necessarily leave. We have already fulfilled the new emperor’s decree by selecting the executioner through the Dream Recalling Great Method. Now that the Execution Platform is showing its might, it’s best for us to step back.”

After speaking, he was the first to retreat. The other celestial soldiers exchanged glances and scrambled to flee from the vicinity of the Execution Platform. They only stopped when they could no longer feel its murderous intent. One celestial soldier immediately asked, “Why is the Execution Platform like this? It was never like this before!”

“In the past, how many immortals has the Execution Platform executed? Over all these years, the number hasn’t even exceeded a few dozen. But this time, it’s tens of thousands at once. With so much immortal blood and flesh, not to mention the Execution Platform—even a mortal weapon, if stained with so much immortal blood and flesh, would surely become sentient, wouldn’t it?” The The Executioner who had retreated first looked in the direction of the Execution Platform and explained with lingering fear.

Chapter 14: Slash, Slash, Slash (Part 2)

“My Dragon Palace’s treasures—there’s a treasury in the mortal world as well. I don’t want these things to fall into the hands of the traitorous Dragon King, so you can have them. The treasury is located at…” Before being beheaded, George Washington was extremely unwilling, yet with a mindset of not letting the rebels have it easy if he couldn’t have it himself, he let James Carter benefit.

Clairvoyant, Clairaudient, Lord of Thunder, Lady of Lightning, Lord of Wind, Rain Master, the Four Heavenly Kings, Li Jing the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, the Five Directional Emissaries, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, the Moon Star Lord, the Sun Star Lord, Martial Star Lord, Martha Washington, Elizabeth Hamilton—all were to be executed.

When facing Martha Washington and Elizabeth Hamilton, James Carter seemed to see nothing of their beauty, treating them only as two prisoners awaiting execution, and beheaded them with a single stroke.

Before her death, Martha Washington left behind a copy of the “Eternal Youth Heart Sutra.” In addition to the techniques for maintaining youth, it also contained many recipes for youth-preserving pills, from the mortal world to the spirit world to the immortal world. Most terrifying of all, this heart sutra not only preserved youth, but also allowed the practitioner to adjust their appearance and figure at will—truly the ultimate treasure all female cultivators dreamed of.

“Elder Taibai Jinxing, do you have any unfulfilled wishes? Perhaps I can help you accomplish one or two!” At this moment, James Carter had already killed all those higher immortals, and now faced one golden immortal after another. Standing before him now was Benjamin Franklin.

“Once dead, the Dao is gone—what is there to linger for? It’s a pity, even His Majesty is powerless to turn the tide. I have here a ‘Geng Metal True Art,’ and there is a vein of Geng Metal vital energy in the lower realm. Make good use of it!”

When Benjamin Franklin also fell under James Carter’s blade, James Carter finally realized something: those with the strongest combat power, the truly formidable ones like Paul Revere, Thomas Carter, John Adams, and the like, were basically impossible to capture alive. Those captured alive were all these middling types. Naturally, those in high positions were even more likely to be among them.

So, when James Carter saw Thomas Jefferson, he wasn’t surprised at all. Having killed so many of the Heavenly Court’s true gods, James Carter no longer felt any fear in his heart. Even if he were to face Abraham Lincoln, he doubted there was anything left that could shake him.
