Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1398: Chapter 1168: Sudden Change

In a place unseen by Li Zhirui, the core region of Red Water State, the vast majority of high-level devil beasts reside here, and they are the primary targets of the Great Elder’s curse.

Many high-level devil beasts in the midst of cultivation had their mental states disrupted by the sudden curse of resentment, causing their mana to riot and injuring their bodies.

But the most critical ones were those devil beasts who were attempting to break through to a higher realm!

Not only was their chance for advancement destroyed, but they also attracted heart demons. Under the dual eroding influence of the curse and heart demons, they ultimately failed to overcome this tribulation, and their entire cultivation and mana were devoured by the heart demons, fulfilling the heart demons.

”Gah gah gah!”

Amid a creepy peal of sinister laughter, an unimaginably dark shadow appeared, heading straight for the central core of the Devil Race.

”As long as I complete this absorption, I can break through the shackles of the Heavenly Immortal Realm and escape the control of the Primal Spirit Realm! So, let me lend you all a hand!”

As an Outer Heaven Demon at the Heavenly Immortal Realm, it discerned the cause and effect the moment it appeared.

Although some obscuring fog remained, what did that matter to it? It didn’t care whether this was a plot by another Heavenly Immortal.

”Children, come out now! Let loose; for you, this will be a grand feast!”

As soon as the words fell, one by one, the dark shadows appeared and scattered. With careful observation, one would find the shadows all headed to the cave mansions of devil beasts.

Roar!

”Those hypocritical Immortal Dao pretenders!”

”And you, damn Heavenly Demon! Get lost!”

An ear-splitting roar echoed through the world, sending waves of sound rippling outwards, causing varying degrees of destruction to the mountains, stones, and vegetation within a radius of tens of miles.

This devil beast of the Heavenly Immortal Realm could not see through Li Zhirui’s concealment, but it did discover traces left by the Immortal Dao, naturally leading to a misunderstanding against nearby Sect influences like the Cave Abyss Sect.

”You have struggled miserably for so many years, still unable to break through. Rather than continuing to linger like this, why not become a part of me? I can help you fulfill the wish you cannot achieve yourself, isn’t that wonderful?” the Heavenly Demon said in a voice full of temptation.

”Get lost!”

But the heart demon let out another sinister laugh, refrained from speaking further, and simply fled straight into the other’s Sea of Consciousness.

The Heavenly Immortal Great Devil dared not be the slightest bit negligent, hurriedly closing its cave mansion to prevent the Immortal Dao from seizing the opportunity, and focused its mind to combat the heart demon.

The struggle between two Heavenly Immortal abilities, even if merely inside the body of a Great Devil, created various phenomena around them, and the terrifying pressure made it impossible for ordinary beings to approach.

Other devil beasts of the Immortal Realm also fell into battles with heart demons, unable to heed external matters at all.

The curse of the Great Elder and others attracted numerous Outer Heaven Demons descending to disrupt and obstruct devil beasts, an unexpected development that Li Zhirui and his group could never have anticipated.

Yet for them, this was actually a blessing in disguise.

Because numerous devil beasts of the Immortal Realm would perish at the hands of heart demons, and even the Heavenly Immortal Realm devil beast faced the risk of falling, serving as partial revenge for the blood feud.

Having mobilized the vast forces of resentment in Red Water State, the Great Elder’s perceptual reach now spanned the entire area, able to witness the devil beasts’ plight.

”Hahahahahahaha...”

He couldn’t help but laugh out loud, yet his voice was filled with desolation, misery, and intense hatred, shouted hoarsely:

”Thousands of years! For generations, we’ve lived under the control of these beasts, and every moment I wanted to peel off your skins and drink your blood, but for the sake of my people, I forcefully endured for decades.”

”Today! I can finally exact revenge without any hesitation! All of you, die for me!”

These words, carried by the wind, intermittently reached Li Zhirui’s ears, causing his footsteps to pause. He knew it was the Great Elder, influenced by the power of resentment, whose nature had been altered.

Yet even so, he still harbored hatred for the Devil Race! This seemed to have become his obsession.

The gigantic wraiths and skeletons controlled by the Great Elder rushed into the devil beast hordes at maximum speed, fearlessly launching attacks.

Because with the vast forces of resentment enveloping all of Red Water State providing replenishment, there was no worry of exhaustion!

And even if they encountered devil beasts they couldn’t defeat, they would valiantly self-destruct as a means of attack, for they would soon be reborn.

For a time, an intense battle erupted among devil beasts and Heavenly Demons, devil beasts and the human race within Red Water State. Such immense commotion naturally drew the attention of nearby Immortal Dao influences.

Although the surrounding Immortal Dao influences and the Devil Race had reached a tacit understanding, the necessary vigilance was maintained regardless.

”What is happening?”

Everyone gazed at Red Water State, bewildered, as the entire area seemed like a boiling cauldron, with countless battles breaking out simultaneously.

They instinctively felt it was extremely important, hastily relaying the information back to their sects or families and raising their alert levels to the maximum.

Only the side adjacent to Wan Family State showed no presence of other cultivators since no cultivator was willing to venture into this barren region, nor cared about whether it would be affected.

Only Li Zhirui and Zhang Yi, accompanied by a few warriors, were present here.

”State Preceptor, what’s happening inside Red Water State?”

Standing at such a distance, they could still feel the terrifying pressure emanating from Red Water State, causing their bodies to tremble uncontrollably.

”The elders used their lives to take revenge on the Devil Race, saving all of the human race in Red Water State, while simultaneously providing a great development opportunity for the Great Zhou Dynasty, so do not fail their sacrifice. When the opportunity arises in the future, be sure to eliminate the Devil Race to avenge them,” Li Zhirui said in a heavy, solemn tone.
