Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 947: Chapter 942: Rebellion_2

Li Zhirui was momentarily stunned upon hearing the words, followed by a burst of hearty laughter. It took a considerable while before he stopped and said, ”Rest assured, even if an Integration Great Power were to take action personally, they wouldn’t be able to take my life.”

With space manipulation at his disposal, Li Zhirui naturally had full confidence; there was no need to worry about his life’s safety.

Moreover, his words were an understatement. To put it bluntly, not even those of Mahayana or Tribulation Transcendence could kill him!

Because all Li Zhirui needed was a single thought, and he could escape into the space.

As for why he didn’t mention the Immortal Realm, it was because he had no concept of it or knew how strong the Immortals were.

”It was me worrying over nothing.” Li Chenghuo said with an embarrassed smile.

Li Zhirui waved his hand. Setting everything else aside, Li Chenghuo’s concern alone deeply moved him.

”You don’t have to think about such things; if you indeed face mortal danger and it’s within my power to save you, I’ll make sure to save your life!”

It was because of Li Chenghuo’s concern that Li Zhirui planned to use his space manipulation powers to keep him from dying.

Of course, by that time, Li Chenghuo would undoubtedly be unconscious, and regardless of what he might suspect, it was best not to let him see it happen.

Time passed in a blink, and soon it was noon the next day.

On Lin Zhu Mountain, massive battleships hovered, orderly arranged in the clouds. The Magic Artifacts placed on the ships flickered with brilliant Spirit Light, the oppressive aura hitting one in the face, making it hard to breathe.

”Depart!”

The team of cultivators this time was led by five Integration Great Powers from the Zhang Family, along with numerous smaller forces from Shanyuan State. Altogether, there were tens of thousands of cultivators. At that command, they all moved out together.

The Spirit Boats formed an imposing fleet, covering the skies. The Devil Beasts, regardless of their Spiritual Intelligence, had fled several days earlier, fearing that the cultivators might annihilate them on a whim; thus, there were no foolish beasts blocking the way.

”Elder, the cultivators from Lin Zhu Mountain are moving!”

It wasn’t long before the Demon Cultivators in Wanzhu State received the news.

”How is Wangpeng Mountain set up?” The Elder asked with a grim expression.

Over hundreds of years, the Demon Cultivators had carved out an immense cavern deep under Wanzhu State, fitted with various houses, palaces, even several hills, lakes, and rivers.

The cavern, typically bustling with figures, now lay eerily empty except for a few hundred Demon Cultivators left behind to deliver a devastating blow to the cultivators from Shanyuan State. The other Demon Cultivators, taking advantage of the spread of Spirit-Decaying Worm Poison and its antidote, had struck one cultivation force after another.

The Combined Forces were beyond their reach, but the Void Refinement and Divine Transformation levels were not an issue for them!

Moreover, due to the poison, the cultivators’ powers had significantly weakened, and during the attacks, the casualties among the Demon Cultivators were comparatively low and the process went smoothly, resembling an unstoppable force.

Fortunately, the Demon Cultivators knew to restrain their greed. Before the poison completely dissipated, they took all their disciples and left Wanzhu State.

Those left behind were all expendable!

Why didn’t they escape? Naturally, it was because a Secret Technique planted within them by the retreating Demon Cultivators prevented them from leaving Wanzhu State until that ”gift” had been activated.

Under such circumstances, how could the Elder feel joyful?

”All is in readiness; the moment the cultivators step in, the Formation will activate immediately.” What this disciple didn’t mention was that they could also leave then.

”Elder! The cultivators are only a hundred li from Wangpeng Mountain,” another disciple rushed in and said excitedly.

The Elder formed a Mantra with his hands, and a large water mirror appeared before him, showing only a silent, hundred-zhang tall hill.

In just a moment, the first Spirit Light appeared in the water mirror.

In the next three breaths, numerous Spirit Boats appeared, teeming with cultivators whose formidable aura was beyond what the few hundred expendable Demon Cultivators could defend against.

But, as the cultivators flew over the expansive Wangpeng Mountain, a series of Spirit Lights soared into the sky, and a special Great Array instantly formed.

The recent Spirit Light had divided the Spirit Boats, placing each one in a separate Array Space.

The moment the array was successfully arrayed, the Demon Cultivators hidden deep underground felt the shackles within them unlock, and they breathed a sigh of relief, their task completed. Now, they were ready to leave Wanzhu State.

They were not worried about encountering danger within the realm, for hardly any cultivators acted in the outside world! The local cultivators were all recuperating from their injuries, and the cultivators who came to aid from outside were trapped by formations.

But clearly, they had celebrated too early!

The shackles they had just removed had instantly turned into deadly poison, causing low-rank demon cultivators to collapse on the ground; then, they quickly lost their breaths.

”Those bastards!”

As a loser in the struggle for power, Elder initially knew that those people would not let them go, but deep inside, he still held a sliver of hope. However, the scene before him completely shattered it.

”Since you won’t leave me a way out, don’t blame me for ruining your plans!”

Feeling the increasingly intense pain inside him, Elder’s face contorted, and he growled through gritted teeth.

He took out a Jade Slip from his Storage Magical Treasure, his Spiritual Soul burst forth with full force, and he poured into it, quickly inscribing something. However, the bulging veins on his forehead indicated the indescribable intense pain he was enduring.

Within only a few breaths, he lost his breath, and the unfinished Jade Slip was tightly clenched in his hand, his face showing reluctance, rage, and deep hatred!

On the other side.

”Be on guard!”

The moment Li Zhirui sensed fluctuations in Spiritual Energy, he decisively activated the Spirit Boat’s Defensive Spiritual Light, and he also put on an additional layer of defense spells.

Boom!

Big fireballs fell from the sky, radiating intense heat, incessantly bombarding the Spirit Boat. The outer layer of Divine Power was heavily damaged.

”Li Yunjun, you take control of the Spirit Boat!”

Upon seeing this, Li Zhirui immediately shouted, ”Other clan members follow me to fend off the attack and target the formation!”

He changed the spell in his hand, and the scarce water vapor in the formation suddenly increased, and even a thin layer of mist could be seen.

The endless fireballs decreased in temperature and power.

This was not because Li Zhirui was extremely gifted to manipulate water vapor through the formation from the outside world but because he moved water vapor from the space.

Although he was better versed in Wood-attribute Skills, by analogy, he could perform various Water-based Spells.

Under Li Zhirui’s spells, the formation started pouring torrential rain. In just moments, a lake formed in the lower space. The clan members, leveraging the dense water vapor, easily neutralized the attacks from the formation, thus freeing their hands to break the formation.

”How can this formation be so sturdy?”

After leading his clan members in continuous attacks for half an hour, but the formation merely shook slightly and was far from breaking, Li Zhirui immediately called a halt, allowing the clan members to rest and recover in shifts.

”Could this be a Seventh Rank Formation?”

Li Zhirui surmised. If not, how else could he explain the lack of response from the formation after such a long assault?

Unlike his limited experience, several Integration Great Powers from the Zhang Family figured out the answer after some exploration.

”Sixth-order Taiji Shifting Equal Spirit Grand Array!”

”It seems we won’t be able to break the formation and escape anytime soon,” said one of them, frowning.

The others grimly remained silent.

A Sixth-order Great Array that could prompt five Integration Great Powers to make such a statement was naturally extraordinary!

Its peculiarity lay in the fact that the formation internally segregated hundreds and thousands of independent spaces and could transfer the tremendous energy from one space to another to share.

To escape, they would have to break all of the spaces!

This obviously required everyone’s cooperation. If they acted separately, it was unknown how long it would take to push the formation to its limit.
