My monster derivative skills are the orthodox ones

Chapter 389 Killing and Punishing the Heart

"Li Ji, you're the bride's family member, the one who knows her best. Why don't you tell everyone about the bride and groom's sweet love story..."

Li Ye continued the wedding ceremony slowly and methodically, while stripping Shu Kun of his skills.

The entire wedding, officiated by him, was both desperate and solemn.

From the newlyweds to the guests, everyone had mixed feelings.

Looking at Zhang Tianshi, who was dressed in a bright red wedding gown and seemed to be going mad, Li Ji braced himself and fabricated a completely fictitious love story for the guests, fearing that Li Ye would take his anger out on him.

Marriage isn't scary; what's scary is that Li Ye will take away the supernatural powers they've painstakingly cultivated.

He sympathized with Li Ye's life and experiences, but that did not justify his wrongdoing.

How innocent am I?

He was just brought to the battlefield to help out by Zhang Tianshi, who was a higher-ranking official. Why should he have to endure such terrible torture?
Li Ji knew that Li Ye's actions had put him on the opposite side of the Heavenly Court and that he would not have a good end, but if he were to be enemies with Li Ye, his current fate would be no better!

He suddenly understood Han Peng; some things can't be avoided just because you want to.

Hopefully, Li Ye will let him go because he was obedient!
"...The first time Zhang Tianshi saw Shukun, he was attracted by his dark and beautiful feathers. At that moment, the Tianshi's face turned red, and even I, an outsider, could tell that he was infatuated..."

“Li Ji…”

Zhang Tianshi roared, his teeth clenched, glaring angrily at Li Ye, his previous guilt vanishing without a trace.

What pain? What despair?
He's a born devil; there were clearly better solutions.

Zhang Tianshi completely forgot that from beginning to end, he never uttered a single word of begging for mercy. He maintained an arrogant attitude and wanted to control Li Ye's fate.

……

One force can overcome ten techniques; overwhelming force; invincible; the power to turn the tide; unstoppable momentum...

The wedding, officiated by Li Ye, lasted for six hours.

One by one, Shu Kun's skills were extracted, and the laws of the Great Dao of Power were gradually perfected.

finally.

After having all his skills stripped away, Shu Kun fell into despair.

He still possesses a powerful divine soul and abundant solar energy, but Li Ye has taken away all his supernatural powers. After the wedding, he will probably immediately ascend to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

For a Great Luo Golden Immortal to master the laws is like ascending from a mortal to an immortal. Breaking through from a Golden Immortal to a Great Luo is equivalent to taking a step up as a whole, and the soul will be strengthened in all aspects, becoming a unified whole.

However, he was stripped of all his supernatural powers, which was equivalent to being demoted. With this shift in power, he could no longer possess Li Ye's body simply because his soul was stronger than Li Ye's.

Lost!

In the battle to possess someone's body, he suffered a crushing defeat.

Shukun couldn't understand it.

Li Ye clearly hadn't advanced to the Great Luo realm, so how did he defeat him? Logically speaking, the domain of an ordinary Golden Immortal shouldn't be able to affect a Great Luo Golden Immortal...

Even though he has been dead for tens of thousands of years and his divine power and supernatural abilities have been greatly weakened, Zhang Tianshi is still a Da Luo. Why is he also suppressed and unable to resist in his domain?
……

He took away all of Shukun's skills, and two complete skill trees were generated in his mind, one about light and the other about force;

In addition to these, there are some miscellaneous skills, some that increase speed, some that increase physique, and some that increase defense...

These skills were categorized and added to the other skill trees that Li Ye had previously collected.

It's just that, apart from a few established domains, many skill trees are incomplete.

The two tallest and largest skill trees came from Shukun, encompassing all the laws of light and force. The light-related skills of the sun god Apollo were also integrated into the light-related skill tree...

In comparison, his wedding and life domains are much less complete. No wonder that although these domains are powerful, he has never been able to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

However, their power was enough to suppress even the Great Luo Golden Immortal, which made Li Ye feel a little strange. Perhaps his skills were too unorthodox, and the ancient immortals and gods had no resistance to them!
"Master Zhang, let's play a few of the wedding games!"

Li Ye threw a clump of filth and a handful of gold coins at Zhang Tianshi, and said with a smile.

Whether you herd one sheep or two, it's all the same. Since you've already offended Zhang Tianshi, you might as well go all the way and offend him completely, so that no one dares to provoke him. Besides, he does indeed need the strength to deal with the Longevity Emperor and the Greek gods.

His growth method is similar to the Star Absorbing Technique, relying on stealing other people's skills to nourish himself. Even if he disguises himself as the Northern Darkness Divine Art, he will still arouse people's fear.

To prevent this from happening again, the only solution is to elevate our strength to the highest level, just like the Free and Unfettered Sect, and then suppress them. Anyone who dares to disobey will be crippled...

"What do you want to do?" Zhang Tianshi asked.

"Husbands and wives are like birds in the same forest; if one dies at ninety-seven, the other will wait three years on the Bridge of Helplessness." Li Ye smiled. "I'm kind-hearted; how could I just stand by and watch Uncle Kun's skills be taken away without letting you stay with him?"

"Wang Lingguan, do you truly intend to betray the Heavenly Court?" Zhang Tianshi's pupils constricted, and hope was once again placed on Zhang Tianshi. "If you allow your disciple to continue down this path, he will become an enemy of the world, someone everyone would want to kill. At that time, how will you face yourself?"

“Master Zhang, I gave you a way out, but you were unreasonable and relentless, forcing me into this situation and driving yourself to your own doom. Why blame my master?”

Li Ye sneered, "You will bear the consequences of your own actions, and I will bear the consequences of mine. As for my master, I will protect him. If anyone dares to hold a grudge against my master because of me, I will fight them to the death."

"Wang Lingguan, is this also your intention?" Zhang Tianshi asked.

"..."

Wang Lingguan was conflicted, not wanting Li Ye to make too many enemies.

But when he thought of his strange skills, he couldn't bring himself to say anything to persuade him. He knew that strength was what gave him the right to speak, and everything else was just fluff.

"Wang Lingguan, you will regret this," Zhang Tianshi said angrily.

"Whether my master regrets it or not is a matter for the future, but I know that you must be regretting it now." Li Ye looked at the furious Zhang Tianshi and said, "Han Peng has been living a smooth life with me, and those heavenly soldiers are free and unrestrained with me. Why are you so stubborn?"
It's just a job, you can just get by with it. Why are you so eager to compete with me? What benefits has the Emperor of Immortality given you?

Ten thousand years ago you were a celestial master, ten thousand years later you're still just a celestial master, ha!

Li Ye not only wanted to kill, but also to destroy Zhang Tianshi's spirit. His words were like knives stabbing straight into Zhang Tianshi's heart, making Zhang Tianshi so angry that he was panting heavily.

"Not only that, I will also spread the news of what happened today to every corner of the world, so that everyone can witness Zhang Tianshi's red makeup..." Li Ye continued.

"You brat, you've gone too far!" Zhang Tianshi was furious, his beard trembling with rage.

"Ahem!" Wang Lingguan coughed lightly. "Disciple, there's no need for that!"

“Master, it’s very necessary.” Li Ye smiled. “If we don’t spread the word about Zhang Tianshi’s tragic state, more ignorant people will inevitably come to harass us in the future. We will inevitably run into Master’s former colleagues. If I take action, Master will feel guilty. If I don’t take action, I will not be able to live with myself.”

Let them know the consequences of provoking me. When they see us again, they'll probably learn to speak properly instead of acting all high and mighty, ready to kill me at any moment.

In truth, Zhang Tianshi did do a good deed, sacrificing himself to warn future generations.

"Traitor, traitor!" Zhang Tianshi could only repeat this one word over and over again; he had lost the ability to speak.

Wang Lingguan looked at Zhang Tianshi, shook his head, and said, "Zhang Tianshi, now, my supernatural powers are inferior to those of my rebellious disciple, and I can no longer control him. I will apologize to the Longevity Emperor in the future..."

"..." Zhang Tianshi's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Li Ji trembled, "Li Ye, I... I was forced here by Zhang Tianshi. He carries the Emperor's decree, and I cannot disobey his orders. Moreover, the Emperor originally ordered him to invite you to the Heavenly Court, but he took it upon himself to capture you. I..."

"So it was an invitation, not a capture!" Li Ye laughed. "Master Zhang, the Emperor's vision is indeed superior to yours!"

"The Emperor didn't see what you did then. If he had, he would have done the same to you, you demon!" Zhang Tianshi's eyes were bloodshot. "You demon, you must be killed by everyone!"

“Alright, then I’ll spare the Celestial Master’s life and see if I’ll be considered a demon.” Li Ye smiled and turned to Li Ji. “Chenxing Guan, you and Han Peng will stay by my side and serve me! I have survived the Saint Tribulation, and if I don’t perish, I am destined to become a Saint.”

Li Ji and Zhang Tianshi's eyes widened in surprise.

Li Ji stammered, "The...the tribulation of a saint?"

"Li Tianwang and Muzha accompanied me through my tribulation," Li Ye laughed. "When I become a saint, I will establish a Heavenly Court and have my master become the Jade Emperor. At that time, I will appoint you as a marshal..."

"Thank you... thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Li," Li Ji stammered.

"..." Wang Lingguan was speechless and scolded, "Don't talk nonsense."

"Hahaha!" Zhang Tianshi looked at Wang Lingguan and laughed wildly. "Wang Lingguan, Wang Lingguan, I misjudged you. It turns out you have long harbored rebellious intentions. Bah! If you don't kill me today, I will definitely report your ambitions to the Longevity Emperor. I want to see how you, this demon, will become a saint!"
