Primordial Era: I, Emperor Donghua, establish the Immortal Court

Chapter 79 Hulk: Who is the human tank?

"It's time for you to pay the price."

Thinking this, Ebony Throat sneered, stretched out his hands, closed his upper body tightly, and began chanting a spell.

Almost instantly, a powerful energy fluctuation appeared in his hand.

If that hit someone, even a strong person would lose their life if not die! However, facing such a powerful attack, Stark simply smiled.

To everyone's astonishment, he froze on the spot, then sat cross-legged in mid-air, his eyes tightly closed, muttering incantations to himself.

At the same time, as he chanted, bursts of firelight appeared around his body. This fire was called Samadhi Fire, the undisputed king of fire!

That's right, he's using magic!

The next moment, Ebony Maw finished accumulating his magic, and after a flash of surprise in his eyes, he swiftly rushed towards Stark, unleashing a terrifying ball of energy!

Stark finally finished chanting the incantation, and the Samadhi Fire he had summoned around him now all converged into a golden-red energy body!

Seeing the energy gathering in front of him that was about to crash into him, he did not hesitate and immediately unleashed his Samadhi Fire!

An invisible energy wave met the Samadhi True Fire, which was as hot as the blazing sun.

boom!

A loud, deafening roar followed!

Puffs of dust rose up, and the aftershocks, like an earthquake, swept away Zhou's buildings and vehicles!

As the dust settled, both of them were completely unharmed!

This first encounter was surprisingly evenly matched!

"So strong!"

Banner and Doctor Strange witnessed the entire first encounter and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Banner, without transforming into the Hulk, is no match for the two.

Even the Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor Strange, wouldn't dare say he was that confident! But seeing this scene, Banner was the first to show a strange expression.

"Stark, when did you become so powerful?"

"Besides, how could he launch missiles without wearing Iron Man armor?"

Banner was stunned.

Clearly, he mistook Stark's Samadhi Fire for a missile.

Then, he looked at Doctor Strange and asked with a puzzled expression.

"Doctor, could it be that you taught him magic?"

Doctor Strange's expression turned strange upon hearing this. He stared intently at Stark for a long while before shaking his head and saying something.

"No, I never taught him magic..."

"Moreover, judging from its appearance, this is probably the Daoist art of China?"

Banner looked even more puzzled upon hearing this.

"What? Chinese Taoist magic? How does Stark know these?"

Doctor Strange remained where he was, pondering for a long time.

Connecting the dots of recent events, he uncovered a horrifying truth.

Then, he looked at Banner and said slowly.

"You might not know this, but during the time you've been away from Earth..."

Doctor Strange then recounted in detail how Banner left Earth for space.

It's basically about what Stark did during that period.

Why did he spend all his wealth to build the statue of the Eastern King God?

Then they teamed up with Black Panther.

All of this left Banner speechless with astonishment.

"I never imagined that so much would happen while I was gone..."

"But why would Stark spend so much money building these so-called statues? Isn't that a waste?"

"I've known him for so long, and no matter what, he's a businessman. There's no reason for him to do something that offers absolutely no profit."

Banner said, completely unable to understand.

However, he immediately realized something, shut his mouth, and looked at Doctor Strange.

"Could it be?"

"No way?"

Doctor Strange's expression suddenly turned serious, and he nodded.

"That's right, I also thought Stark had some kind of mental problem before."

"But now it seems that everything Stark is going through is probably related to the statue of the Eastern King."

Doctor Strange spoke, his eyes filled with disbelief and fear.

His magic was learned from the previous Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One.

The Ancient One is also a mysterious being residing in China.

Through the influence of the Ancient One, he will also gain an understanding of some Chinese mythology.

The more he learned about him, the more he feared the power within Stark…

Thinking of this, neither of them spoke and fell silent.

The truth was too incredible to be understood; it was beyond their comprehension.

And so they began to watch intently as Stark and Ebony Maw fought.

The two continued to exchange barrages, and for a time they were locked in a stalemate.

Under these circumstances, Black Dwarf, who had been blasted away by Stark, couldn't sit still any longer and struggled to get up.

He did not choose to attack Stark because Stark's previous immense power still left him with psychological trauma.

Instead, they turned on Stark and Banner!

"roar!"

Black Dwarf roared and charged toward the two men, brandishing his giant axe.

"Are you kidding me? Are you targeting us?"

Doctor Strange quickly spotted the black dwarf hurtling towards him from afar and immediately let out a cold laugh.

This clumsy opponent was utterly no match for him.

The next moment, his hands were adorned with gleaming gold rings, and he began chanting incantations.

"roar!"

Black Dwarf roared incessantly, clearly enraged by Doctor Strange's attitude.

However, before he could get close to Doctor Strange, a teleportation wormhole suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Get out of here!"

Doctor Strange chuckled, and Black Dwarf, caught off guard, plummeted to the ground...

Clean and efficient, Doctor Strange effortlessly transported this cumbersome opponent to the North Pole, the other side of the Earth.

A polar bear walked past Black Dwarf and lay down lazily in front of him.

Black Dwarf was completely bewildered.

After a long, stunned silence, his simple-minded mind finally realized what had happened...

"roar!"

Instantly, he flew into a rage, wildly swinging his axe and hacking at the surrounding ice.

Suddenly, a cracking sound came from under my feet.

Before the black dwarf could even let out a wail, it plunged into the icy river...

the other side,

Stark and Ebony Maw fought for eight hundred rounds, neither able to gain the upper hand.

Even Stark had to admit that Ebony Maw's magical skill was indeed very high.

Under these circumstances, he could no longer restrain himself.

A stalemate was not what he wanted to see.

If you can't even defeat one of Thanos's henchmen, how can you compete with Thanos for the Infinity Stones?

Thinking of this, he suddenly stopped making the hand seal.

"What?"

Ebony Maw frowned, looking at Stark ahead.

After this period of fighting, he could not deny that the human in front of him was indeed powerful.

I don't know what methods she used, but she was able to hold out against him for so long.

It even terrified him.

In this situation, Stark's sudden stop made him shudder.

For some reason, he felt death approaching.

Stark hovered in mid-air, sneered, and looked at Ebony Maw with disdain.

"I must say, alien, you're really something."

"It's worth using my trump card."

"I was originally planning to save it to deal with Thanos, to catch him off guard..."

As Stark spoke, he slowly drew a longsword from his robes.

This longsword is his trump card, which he has kept hidden for a long time!

Having practiced Chinese Taoist arts, how could he possibly be without a flying sword?

Since returning from China, he used vibranium as the raw material and added Samadhi Fire to refine it for a full forty-nine days and nights before he finally created this flying sword!

It can be said that it is almost the only flying sword in this world!

"die!"

With a soft snort from Stark, the flying sword shot out.

味!

A series of whistling sounds rang out, accompanied by a dazzling streak of light.

Ebony Throat felt a chill run down his spine and was about to reach out to defend himself.

Then, the speed of the flying sword far exceeded his imagination, approaching him at an unbelievable speed!

A flash of blood appeared.

Ebony Maw's head fell from the sky.

His body exploded with a deafening roar, leaving a dazzling crimson trail in the sky!

All around was silent.

Banner and Doctor Strange were stunned.

This sudden turn of events left them momentarily stunned.

After a long while, they looked at Stark, who was sitting above them with a look of utter disbelief.

"this……"

They didn't know what to say.

Doctor Strange was filled with mixed feelings.

Meanwhile, the mage, while watching Stark and Ebony Maw's fight, had already discerned that Ebony Maw's magical power was even greater than his own!

However, this very being was instantly killed by Stark?!

Just how strong is Stark?!

"Could this be the mysterious power of the East, a realm I cannot even fathom?"

He muttered to himself, lost in thought.

Stark slowly descended from the sky, looking at the two of them.

Seeing their expressions, he knew his chance had come.

Immediately, seizing the opportunity, he looked at Doctor Strange and began to speak in a very seductive manner.

"Stephen, how about that? Did you see my strength?"

"Do you remember what I told you before? As long as you entrust the Time Stone to me for safekeeping, I guarantee it will be safe and sound. You can rest assured."

As he spoke, Stark patted Doctor Strange on the shoulder with a smile.

If it were before, Doctor Strange would definitely have refused again.

But now, having witnessed Stark's power, his resolve began to waver.

"Perhaps handing the gem over to Stark is the right thing to do?"

He struggled internally and began to think constantly.

At this moment, he completely acknowledged Stark's strength.

After hesitating for a moment, Doctor Strange, not one to hesitate, looked at Stark and nodded seriously.

He then removed the Time Stone from his neck and handed it to Stark.

"Stark, the responsibility of protecting the gems is now in your hands."

After saying that, Doctor Strange took one last, reluctant look at the Time Stone that he had handed to Stark.

After all, I've worn it for so many years, and I've developed a certain attachment to it.

Stark was overjoyed, took it immediately, and hid it away.

He had been eyeing the Time Gem for so long, and now he finally had it in his hands. How could he not be happy?

Immediately, his face flushed with pride, and he nodded approvingly at Doctor Strange, speaking with great confidence.

"Don't worry, Stephen, I promise I'll keep this gem safe for you. It will never fall into Thanos's hands!"

Doctor Strange nodded upon hearing this.

Since he had already handed the gem over to Stark, he naturally trusted him unconditionally.

Just then, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly looked at Stark and said.

"No, besides my Time Stone, there is also a Mind Stone on Earth, which is currently with Vision. Since we have been attacked by Thanos's army, Vision is probably not safe either."

Upon hearing this, Stark paused for a moment.

When Vision was mentioned, he thought of his previous AI butler, Jarvis.

However, he knew in his heart that now was not the time to think about these things, so he immediately shook his head.

The most important thing now is still the Infinity Stones.

He had already decided to offer the Infinity Stones as a sacrifice to Dongwanggong, and he was determined to obtain them and would not allow Thanos to have any of them!

Then, his eyes suddenly turned fierce, and he said.

"Let's go! We can't let Thanos succeed!"
