Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 603: 609

”So this is the Divine Power of the Giant Octopus? No wonder Jiu warned me not to act rashly,” Xiaoqing muttered, as if in a trance.

They had been unaware of the weakness of this Divine Power before, let alone stopping it.

”It looks like the battle should be coming to an end,” Da Qing deduced.

After all, the situation had become quite clear now, with the Thunder Serpent having an absolute advantage, while the Giant Octopus was already injured and had just sacrificed one of its tentacles, worsening its condition.

”Jiu, shouldnʼt we make our move now?” Da Qingʼs heart was starting to stir.

The Thunder Serpent didnʼt know how precious the Spiritual Objects on the body of the Giant Octopus were, but they did! They didnʼt have extravagant hopes of solving both Water Devils, just taking the corpse of the Giant Octopus away in the end.

”Wait a bit longer, the two races have been entangled for countless years; the Giant Octopus clan must have some countermeasures. It definitely has something it hasnʼt used yet, let it continue to help us weaken the Thunder Serpentʼs power,” Li Zhirui always felt that things couldnʼt be so simple, observing for a little longer to ensure nothing went wrong.

——

”Just surrender quietly, donʼt resist futilely, it will only bring you misery,” the Thunder Serpent said in a condescending winnerʼs posture.

”Hmph!” the Giant Octopus sneered with a cold voice, ”Do you really think Iʼm that easy to bully?”

Feeling the cut-off tentacle was now close to the Thunder Serpent, a vicious glint flashed in its eyes as it detonated it instantly!

Boom——

A terrifying explosion erupted from the sea, creating towering waves hundreds of feet high everywhere, stirring up the sea into turbulent chaos as if it was the end of the world.

Caught off guard, the Thunder Serpent was swept up in the raging waves. Although it was not injured, it was left in a sorry state.

But before the Thunder Serpent could struggle free, a white fog carrying the scent of death swept over quickly, instantly freezing everything in its path, and the nearby sea area turned into an icy realm.

And the massive body of the Thunder Serpent was frozen within it.

In an instant, the tide of the battle had turned!

The Giant Octopus, not favored by Da Qing, now held the Spirit Sword, the ruler of the Thunder Serpentʼs fate!

”Give up! You canʼt escape!”

As the Thunder Serpent struggled ceaselessly within the ice, the Giant Octopus revealed a vicious smile and said, ”This is the coldness Iʼve summoned using my own origin, a special gift prepared just for you. Do you like it?”

The three people in the clouds, Li Zhirui, inhaled sharply after hearing this. Who would have thought it would be so cruel to itself, actually consuming its origin!

To know, to some degree, the origin is even more precious than the Spiritual Soul!

After all, while there are some Spiritual Objects that can heal and restore the Spiritual Soul, those that can restore the origin are extremely rare.

And perhaps long before, it had calculated everything, with the Divine Power of self-mutilation to escape being only part of its plan.

The Giant Octopus, holding the Spirit Sword, thrust it cleanly into the heart of the Thunder Serpent.

It wouldnʼt give the opponent time to struggle; any accident could make it the unlucky one in the end.

”Such impressive tactics!” Li Zhirui had not expected to witness such a turnaround. Such beings should either not be offended, or, once offended, should be eradicated completely, leaving no room for future troubles!

Seeing the Giant Octopus, drained of much of its mana, severely wounded, Li Zhirui knew it was time to act!

”You two stay on the Spirit Boat, once I engage with the Giant Octopus, you take the chance to collect the corpse of the Thunder Serpent,” Li Zhirui instructed.

Seeing Da Qing and Xiaoqing about to speak, Li Zhirui waved his hand, interrupting, ”I know you want to help, but even if itʼs severely injured, itʼs not something you can confront.”

```

Upon hearing this, the two of them could only give up, but a fierce flame was kindled in their hearts as their desire to break through to the fourth stage grew even stronger.

”Jiu, be careful!”

Li Zhirui nodded and said nothing more. He immediately operated his mana and unleashed Thousand Spirits. Countless roots flew out in an instant, entangling towards the giant octopus.

”Damn it!”

The severely injured giant octopusʼs face changed dramatically in an instant. It did not expect that, after finally calculating and killing the Thunder Serpent, a Nascent Soul Cultivator would appear!

Without a second word, it turned to flee, with no intention of fighting.

”Where do you think youʼre going?” Li Zhirui stretched out his hand and pointed forward, and a thick water wall instantly blocked its path.

And the roots from behind caught up, quickly woven into a cage, trapping the giant octopus inside.

”I am willing to give you all the spiritual objects I have, just asking for you to spare my life!” The giant octopus, lacking much combat power, attempted to buy its life with treasures.

”Youʼre going to die, and those spiritual objects will still be mine.” Li Zhirui was utterly unmoved.

”I also know of an undersea treasury, filled with many treasures; I can tell you its location.”

Li Zhirui shook his head once more and said, ”Perhaps this treasury you speak of does exist, but then why have you kept it a secret until now?”

Such a place was undoubtedly very dangerous!

No matter what the giant octopus said, Li Zhirui had no intention of letting it go, especially after it was clear that it was just stalling for time; he did not continue to wait any longer.

Its plan was simple: it hoped that a fourth-order Water Devil would appear nearby. Whether it was the same species or not didnʼt matter, but given there was a common enemy of the human race present, it would certainly lend a hand and rescue the octopus.

Unfortunately for it, luck was not on its side, and it died without a fourth-order Water Devil passing by.

With a wave of his hand, Li Zhirui collected the giant octopusʼs corpse into the space, while Da Qing and the others had already separated the Thunder Serpentʼs body from the icy confines.

They originally planned to put it in their storage rings, but discovered the space was not large enough and had to give up reluctantly, leaving it for Li Zhirui to handle.

”Letʼs go!”

It was unwise to linger long on the battlefield.

Summoning Xiaoqing to conjure a fierce wind, which completely dispersed their scent, the three of them immediately boarded the Spirit Boat and drifted away from that place.

”Go through the spiritual objects of these two fourth-stage Great Devils while inside the space.” He still needed to steer the Spirit Boat and keep watch over the surroundings.

”Alright.” The two of them agreed excitedly, also eager to see what was there.

Once Li Zhirui was alone on the ship, he began to consider how to deal with the corpses of the two Water Devils.

The body of the Thunder Serpent could be refined into a fourth-grade Thunder Serpent bloodline, which could perhaps be useful for the familyʼs Spirit Beasts in the future, while there was no point in wasting time and energy to refine the bloodline of the giant octopus.

Since such Spirit Beasts were not suitable for contracts, it would be better to divide some fourth-stage spiritual objects and see if anyone needed them.

After Li Zhirui and his company had departed, within half an hour, several fourth-order Water Devils arrived at the battlefield.

Although there were no fourth-order Water Devils present at the time, there was no shortage of third-order Water Devils. Weak and not daring to show themselves, they could still report to their great king!

Therefore, several fourth-order Water Devils ended up arriving one after another.
