Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1744: Chapter 1341: Grand Fortune

...

Li Zhirui looked up, the sky above was filled with thick, pitch-black tribulation clouds, with occasional flashes of lightning that seemed capable of tearing space apart.

Rumble—

The tribulation thunder was still brewing, yet the thunderous roar it emitted could shake one’s mind and spirit.

When the first bolt of tribulation thunder fell, a dazzling blue light pierced through the sky, carrying endless destructive might as it swiftly struck towards him.

The power of the Thunder Tribulation at the Heavenly Immortal Realm far exceeded Li Zhirui’s imagination. He felt like a weak and insignificant ant in the face of this celestial trial, with no confidence that he could transcend the thunder tribulation.

In an instant, he seemed to lose all will to fight, dejectedly watching the ferocious and terrifying tribulation thunder roar towards him at incredible speed, as death beckoned to him.

Buzz—

Suddenly, the usually silent space unexpectedly reminded Li Zhirui at that moment.

”No! Wake up!”

Li Zhirui suddenly roared angrily, using all his mana, as spirit light wove into giant trees and layers of water screens, overlapping and quickly forming a thick defense in front of him.

...

He remembered!

He was not facing the Thunder Tribulation at the Heavenly Immortal Realm, but had been caught in a heart demon illusionary realm!

Crack—

As Li Zhirui regained consciousness, the illusion shattered instantly, and the terrifying tribulation thunder revealed its original form—an evil, terrifying heart demon exuding black qi!

However, if Li Zhirui had not awakened in time, he would truly have died in the ’Thunder Tribulation,’ swallowed by the heart demon, who would have seized his cultivation and become its nourishment, then directly ascend to become an Outer Heaven Demon.

Outer Heaven Demons exist within the universe yet do not, living in an extremely unique world known as the Luohou Demon Realm.

The most special aspect of the Luohou Demon Realm is that it connects to all worlds within the universe, yet it cannot be entered at will.

Only when a being is undergoing tribulation to break through does the Heavenly Dao issue a summoning to the Luohou Demon Realm, and a responding heart demon will send down an avatar to obstruct.

If successful, it seizes the being’s cultivation for itself; if it fails, this avatar becomes nourishment for the being, becoming the source of pure spiritual energy from tribulation clouds, is the heart demon avatar.

Therefore, the heart demon hindering the path is also referred to as an Outer Heaven Demon.

”Hehehe...”

The heart demon met his gaze and let out a strange laugh, saying, ”I didn’t expect you to awaken at the last moment, what a pity!”

”But for the sake of my Great Tao, please die here!”

Upon becoming an Outer Heaven Demon, one gains many lives, as each summoning only requires dispatching one avatar.

However, if it doesn’t deal with Li Zhirui now, not only will it be unable to shake off his constraint, but more importantly, its life will be directly threatened!

Because currently, it is like floating rootless duckweed, and only by consuming Li Zhirui’s cultivation can it be truly born as a special lifeform.

The heart demon’s eyes glinted fiercely as it exuded repulsive black smoke, lunging towards him instantly.

”Hmph! You can become the stepping stone for my celestial breakthrough instead!”

Li Zhirui snorted coldly, infusing the Purification Principle into his divine power, and the next moment, a fine drizzle began to fall from the sky, as one after another, water giants appeared to block the heart demon.

Each time the water giants struck, the impact would stir a stinking black smoke when it landed on the demon, and after several strikes, the heart demon visibly weakened considerably.

”This is impossible!”

How could it be restrained by the Purification Principle? It was now only a heart demon formed by inner thoughts and grievances, not an Outer Heaven Demon that cultivated by absorbing demonic qi!

Naturally, Li Zhirui didn’t bother to explain the reasons. Through years of comprehension and cultivation, the Purification Principle he now mastered was no longer solely for purifying filth and evil external objects; it could even purify the mind!

And isn’t a heart demon a manifestation of mental power?

This wasn’t something that all Purification Principles could achieve; it was entirely the result of Li Zhirui’s personal efforts and the merging of many laws!

After all, with Yuhong around, his ability to comprehend other laws was much easier than for other beings.

Thus, as long as he had enough patience and time, he could entirely comprehend more different laws to perfect his Purification Principle.

Back to the matter at hand!

The heart demon and water giants engaged in intense combat, both sides evenly matched, making it difficult to determine a victor in a short time.

Meanwhile, the gentle rain continued to pour from the sky, and soon, it formed a shallow lake.

Bam!

The heart demon grew increasingly weak in the fight, giving the water giants the chance to punch it fiercely, sending it flying into the lake below.

”Aaaah!” the heart demon cried in agony, as a thick, black smoke burst forth from where it landed in the lake.

The rainwater in that lake wasn’t ordinary; it contained a substantial amount of the Purification Principle. To the demon, it was like a drop of water falling into a cauldron of oil, triggering a violent reaction and instantly melting it!

By the time the heart demon barely struggled out, its strength was likely three-tenths of what it had been.

Initially, direct confrontation was not the heart demon’s forte; they excelled at weaving illusions in secret, then seeking opportunities to kill covertly!

Once the illusion is broken, lacking offensive skills, they become very vulnerable.

”Damn it!” the heart demon glared at Li Zhirui with venomous hatred, extremely unwilling to accept its failure, as it truly threatened its life.
