Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1963: Chapter 1450: Explosion (Part 2)

“Then do you still remember which direction they came back from?”

He thought back seriously for a moment, then said with some uncertainty, “I think it was southeast?”

“Southeast…”

Li Zhixuan immediately thought of the base, since it just happened to be southeast!

She’d been a little puzzled earlier as to why they were so reluctant to go out to battle; so this was the reason!

“Jiu really guessed right! These devils actually planned to sneak attack and break through our base, trying to crush everyone’s morale.”

All of a sudden, the words Li Zhirui had said to her before leaving flashed through her mind, and she couldn’t help but be shocked.

No one could have imagined that he was able to deduce something that hadn’t even happened yet—such insight is incredible! She had no idea how he managed it.

Fortunately, the family had already made preparations for this, so the enemy’s plot was doomed to fail. They didn’t need to worry about the base, and their morale and combat wouldn’t be affected—they could throw themselves wholeheartedly into the final battle instead of worrying about anything else.

“I already know about this, but don’t worry—Jiu has already made countermeasures.” When Li Zhixuan came back to her senses and saw the worried face of the Clan Leader in front of her, she smilingly reassured him.

Hearing this, he relaxed and said, “Then I won’t disturb Ancestor Xuan further.”

After he left, she thought for a moment and summoned several Elders.

Soon, the group arrived one after another.

“Ancestor Xuan, is there something you want of us?”

Li Zhixuan nodded: “Once you go down, have everyone get ready for war—those creatures of This Realm probably can’t hold back any longer.”

“What?” The group didn’t understand how she’d come to such a conclusion.

She explained briefly the devil’s sneaky tricks—since the attack on the base had failed, only by defeating them on the front lines could they drive them out, otherwise Floating Light Realm would never see peace!

The Elders’ hearts tightened; they were still anxious and uneasy about this battle, since they were up against all the lifeforms of a world.

Even though the Immortal Tao of the Floating Light Realm had been wiped out, the remaining Demonic Tao and Devil Race still outnumbered them by an unknown margin.

One could well imagine just how immense this pressure was!

“There’s one more thing!”

Li Zhixuan’s expression turned serious: “The enemy may claim to have broken through our rear base, massacred many clansmen, even destroyed the space rift for escape.”

“But in truth, it’s all lies! All fabricated! Jiu already foresaw they’d do this, so he’s made arrangements—after our victory, you don’t have to worry about not getting out.”

“Huh?”

The elders were full of doubt—how come they knew nothing about this?

Just what have the two ancestors been keeping from them?

Seeing Li Zhixuan had no further orders, they hurried off—there was much to arrange, and it would take time.

Time flew by quickly, and in a blink, several days passed.

Dong dong dong——

Early that morning, an urgent bell sounded throughout the Primordial Spirit Camp, startling every cultivator awake!

“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!” The clansmen monitoring the devil army’s movements shouted repeatedly, alerting everyone to prepare.

In just moments, a dense mass of figures—at least tens of thousands—appeared over the camp, casting an oppressive, mountain-like shadow.

“Hm?”

At this, Li Zhixuan raised an eyebrow. It seemed they’d still gleaned too little from their last defeat, daring to appear right above their heads.

But just as she prepared to draw her sword and slash at the bottoms of those Spirit Boats, something happened!

Black stone balls were hurled from the Spirit Boats above—like a torrential downpour, so many crashed down at once.

Soon the ground was covered with a thick layer of stone balls.

“What are these things?”

Curious, Li Zhixuan plucked a stone orb with her divine sense, probing carefully at what it was and what it might cause.

But a close examination revealed nothing—they seemed just ordinary, unremarkable stones.

She certainly didn’t believe that—if they were ordinary stones, why the elaborate effort? Did they really have nothing better to do with their strength?

“Throw all these stone balls outside!”

There was no choice—since they didn’t know the stones’ properties, Li Zhixuan dared not have anyone destroy them directly and chose the clumsy method instead.

So as the stone balls dropped down, they were thrown far away one after the other.

Of course, Li Zhixuan wouldn’t just stand by—she raised her broken sword and attacked the Spirit Boat Magic Artifact above.

Rumble——

The Devil Beasts and Demon Cultivators aboard were never going to let that stand, acting to counter her attack and protect the Spirit Boat from harm.

After tossing the bulk of the stone balls, the devils started to move their Spirit Boats away—but didn’t go far, as if waiting for something.

“Something’s not right! These things aren’t right! Hurry, get all of them out of here!”

But they were a tad too slow—those seemingly harmless stone balls were abruptly turning into bombs!

Rumble——

A terrifying blast swept out in all directions, engulfing many clansmen.

“Damn it!”

Even Li Zhixuan hadn’t anticipated this result; her expression turned extremely grim.

She herself was unharmed by the explosion, but many clansmen and Loose Cultivators didn’t have her strength.

The blast came so suddenly that there wasn’t even time to react.

The only thing to be thankful for was that they were inside the camp, protected by the Formation, so weren’t hit directly at first.

But as soon as the explosions subsided, their laboriously built defenses had been utterly destroyed!

“Damn it!”

Only now did Li Zhixuan realize—the real target was the Defensive Array itself.

She still couldn’t figure it out though—those stone balls were obviously ordinary, so how did they become explosives?

And that was thanks to a certain Devil Beast’s innate Divine Power!

Its awakened power was extremely rare—called ‘Fake Made Real,’ allowing it to disguise objects almost perfectly.

Among all those stone balls, not all were explosives—many really were just plain stones, their mix of truth and falsehood making them much harder to identify.

This strategy to destroy the Primordial Spirit Camp’s defenses was something they’d devised over the past few days.

As the attacking side, they already outmatched their opponents in strength and numbers by several times—without the Defensive Array, their enemies lose their only advantage!

In such circumstances, how could they possibly lose?

“Quick! Set up the backup Defensive Array!” Li Zhixuan quickly urged the Array Masters to get to work rebuilding the formation.

But how could the creatures of This Realm give them that chance?

“Kill!”

Several Human Immortals shouted, unleashing a terrifying killing intent, yet they didn’t charge forward recklessly.

They knew full well that, against the furious Li Zhixuan, whoever rushed first would certainly perish to her Sword Qi!

“All out—today, we will slaughter every last one of these devils!”

Li Zhixuan cried out, her battered broken sword surging with terrifying killing intent.

“Die for me!”

One sword strike—heaven and earth instantly lost all color.

The Devil Beasts and Demon Cultivators at the very front were like sheets of paper, utterly unable to resist; pierced through, their lives ended in a blink.

And even this hadn’t exhausted all the Sword Qi’s power—the remaining force swept further, the Sword Qi slashing toward devils in the rear.

To prevent it being blocked, it suddenly detonated with a roar, turning into a maelstrom of sword energy that swept through, taking quite a few more lives!

Not until a Human Immortal stepped in was the last of that Sword Qi finally dispelled.
