Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 242 - 248: Madness

Especially some of the older Demon Cultivators at the Golden Core Realm, they were even more familiar with the methods of Yin Wind Cave, and they clearly knew they had no chance of resisting!

Because deep within their bodies, ever since the moment they stepped onto the path of cultivation, the Yin Wind Cave had already made their moves.

In a covert spot within their Dantian, there was an undetectable tiny black dot, which was the handiwork of Yin Wind Cave!

At first, nobody noticed anything amiss until, during a certain operation, Yin Wind Cave intentionally revealed this fact, threatening the Golden Core Demon Cultivators present at the time.

Even though they tried to silence the matter then to stop the spread of the news, some whispers still circulated in private.

And the Dantian was their source of power, how critically important it was! How could they dare to act recklessly with it?

Previously, there were Cultivators who tried to break this spell, but without exception, they all perished violently!

So, even though they were aware of this, and even knew where the problem lay, they were helpless to solve it.

In this respect, the methods of Shen Leishan were not so blatant, they even put on a sham to some extent.

But in truth, it was just the difference between an honest villain and a hypocrite.

As time passed, it was only a moment before a large number of Demon Cultivators gathered, each with a solemn look as they gazed at the distant thunderclouds, all too aware of what lay there.

Although it wasnʼt the heart of Shen Leishan Sect, it wasnʼt too far either, and without a doubt, that place must have already been rigged with a deadly trap, just waiting for them to dive headfirst into it.

They didnʼt want to march to their deaths, but Yin Wind Cave gave them no right to refuse; they could only advance towards the Tribulation Transcendence site.

”Demon Cultivators! Dozens of Golden Core Demon Cultivators! And hundreds of Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators are hurtling towards us!” A Golden Core Cultivator on the forefront changed his complexion drastically and hurriedly used mana to amplify his voice,

All the Cultivators tensed up in an instant, their mana churning wildly inside their bodies, with spells ready to unleash, just waiting for the Demon Cultivators to come within range of attack.

Boom——

Following the descent of the third Tribulation Thunder, the Demon Cultivators also appeared before all the Cultivators and then came an overwhelming flood of spells.

Li Shiqing saw that Li Zhirui was not disturbed and was still intently observing the Thunder Tribulation, a flicker of relief crossing his face, but it was quickly covered by a look of determination.

For the sake of Zhiruiʼs future, for the future of the Li family, he had to endure a bit longer, to allow Zhirui to gain more insights!

So when he made his first move, he did not go all out, but simply unleashed a Sword Qi, blending it into the collective spells.

Li Shiqing could wield Sword Qi not because of any exceptional talent in the Sword Dao, but entirely because he was at the Golden Core Realm.

And the Demon Cultivators had long anticipated an ambush, instantly casting pre-prepared defensive spells as soon as they saw the spells coming.

But even so, many Demon Cultivators were still crushed into pieces upon contact with the torrent of spells, their blood and flesh flying, blurring many peopleʼs vision.

”Advance! We cannot back down! I have already notified Yin Wind Cave, as well as other allies, they wonʼt take long to arrive!” A gaunt elder shouted at the top of his lungs.

”You all know the tactics of Yin Wind Cave, do you want to experience whatʼs worse than death by fleeing in the face of battle?”

Seeing persuasion was futile and many Demon Cultivators still collapsed, he simply resorted to threats.

It must be said that to Demon Cultivators, reason is never as compelling as force; at his word, a great number of Demon Cultivators halted their retreat, faces mournful as they marched towards the site of Tribulation Transcendence under the barrage of spells.

”Why are these Demon Cultivators so desperate, could it be that they are not afraid of death?” some younger Cultivators said, both frightened and astonished by the scene.

”No, itʼs against their will,” said the Golden Core cultivator nearby with a complex expression.

”And how are we any different from them?” However, this sentence was too faint and did not reach the ears of others.

Every moment, a demon cultivator fell, from the Foundation Establishment at the beginning to the first Golden Core demon cultivator just now, who died because his mana was insufficient, leading to an inadequate strength of the defensive spell he cast.

But they had achieved ʼbrilliantʼ results; they were now less than sixty feet away from the cultivators!

After casting a multitude of spells, most of the Foundation Establishment cultivators now had little mana left in their dantians.

Elders from Shen Leishan, farther away, spoke with disdain in their eyes: ”What a bunch of trash, it hasnʼt been that long and they canʼt hold on anymore.”

”Let the Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment disciples take action, after all, the next wave of demon cultivators from Yin Wind Cave is almost here,” the Sect Leader said indifferently.

It wasnʼt that he worried for the safety of these cultivators but that he feared the first line of defense would be breached, and then they would have to face the demon cultivators directly.

”Yes!” Several Elders responded and left.

Soon, a large number of lower-ranked disciples arrived behind the defense line built by Li Zhirui and others, casting spells one after another, hurling all sorts of spirit lights at the demon cultivators.

”Damn it!”

”Itʼs already the fifth Tribulation Thunder! By the looks of it, that person still has the energy to spare. If he really gets through the sixth Tribulation Thunder, we will all die!”

”Why havenʼt the others arrived yet!?”

Because of this wave of support, several Golden Core demon cultivators had died, further weakening the strength of the demon cultivators, and with only the remaining individuals, it was a problem whether they could persist, let alone move forward.

”Thereʼs only one way left! Only by holding on is there a glimmer of hope!” A flash of ruthlessness went through the eyes of the gaunt demon cultivator as he reached out and grabbed at several Foundation Establishment demon cultivators next to him.

”Senior, senior... what are you going to do? Please, let me go!”

But their pleas were of no use, and in their despair, they began to curse the other side frantically.

However, the gaunt demon cultivator showed no emotion, as he infused his vast mana into their bodies, directly seizing control of their flesh, and then threw them toward the cultivatorsʼ defense line.

Bang!

Knowing the cultivators wouldnʼt let him have his way, he detonated the demon cultivatorsʼ bodies in midair.

The physical bodies of the Foundation Establishment demon cultivators combined with the mana of the Golden Core demon cultivators for a strike whose power far surpassed some Divine Powers.

Seeing this, other Golden Core demon cultivators also began to act; as long as they could survive, what did the lives of others have to do with them?

And the Foundation Establishment demon cultivators each felt their own danger, afraid that they would be the next to be taken away and turned into these kinds of human bombs, to become ʼheroesʼ in advancing forward and breaking through the defense line.

Li Zhirui, who had been observing the Tribulation Transcendence earlier, was also awakened by the continuous explosions.

”Uncle, whatʼs going on?”

But as he asked, he saw the demon cultivatorsʼ frenzied actions with his own eyes.

Seeing this, Li Shiqing did not explain further but asked, ”Did you gain anything from watching this Thunder Tribulation?”

”I did, a little. I will discuss it in detail with you after we get back to the family. For now, letʼs fend off these mad demon cultivators!”
