Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1972: Chapter 1455: Sudden Outbreak

Li Zhirui did not underestimate this secret technique just because it originated from an individual immortal devil beast; on the contrary, he devoted considerable effort to deducing and refining it.

The core and most unique aspect of the secret technique lies in its ability to utilize various spiritual objects, transforming them into wondrous energy that enhances the bloodline.

Of course, the process of transformation entails substantial loss, so the best method is to choose spiritual objects that resonate with the bloodline.

At present, Li Zhirui’s main direction of deduction is to increase transformation efficiency and reduce waste of spiritual objects.

Moreover, although the Chaos God Demon Dao Body is a special bloodline, it is ultimately somewhat different from ordinary devil race bloodlines, so after some consideration, he decided to modify it so that the method acts directly upon the Daoist Body.

Admittedly, this would consume more of his energy and time, but for the sake of better results, Li Zhirui resolved to proceed.

…

Time passed swiftly; over two hundred years flashed by in an instant.

After repeated deductions and trials, Li Zhirui successfully refined the secret technique, avoiding waste as much as possible, improving absorption efficiency, and enabling direct refinement of the Chaos God Demon Dao Body!

The advantage of this is a reduction in self-consumption, since he chose the path of turning his own everything into fuel, forging the Chaos Daoist Embryo.

If spiritual objects are used instead, then as long as the quantity suffices, self-consumption will be vastly decreased; at that time, a portion of strength can be preserved, no longer a weak, newly-born Chaos God Demon.

With such progress, Li Zhirui was very satisfied, for every advancement is accumulated bit by bit in this way.

On the other side, after over two centuries of recuperation and healing, Li Zhixuan not only recovered her strength, but it faintly increased as well—a surprising bonus.

When she exits seclusion, if the clan is unharmed, she plans to prepare some pills and head directly into the Void for tempering, seeking ways to perfect her own Chaos Dao Body.

As for the unresolved portion of karmic debt, she also hopes to find a solution within the Void.

For example, if she obtains some rare and special Chaos Spiritual Object and offers it to the Heavenly Dao, she can likewise gain merit.

If it benefits the development of the world, the merit gained will be even greater.

Once she made up her mind, Li Zhixuan went to the clan treasury to prepare to exchange a batch of pills.

She did not go to see Li Zhirui again, but exchanged all the pills in the treasury, estimating this would suffice, and planned to leave the clan directly for the Void.

Boom!

But just as she was about to depart, a thunderous explosion erupted across heaven and earth.

“What happened?”

Almost all living beings simultaneously looked up at the sky, asking in unison.

Soon after, they witnessed a terrifying scene!

The previously clear, cloudless sky suddenly transformed into a mix of blood red and black, as if a shroud had been draped overhead—terrifying and shocking, evoking imagery of world apocalypse.

“What is going on?!” Some beings, stunned by the scene, were so frightened their souls seemed to disperse, rooted to the spot, motionless.

Others reacted, faces full of shock, exclaiming, “Impossible! How can Heaven’s tribulation erupt again so soon?!”

“Heaven’s tribulation!”

Hearing the commotion, Li Zhirui emerged from his cave mansion, sensing the evil qi and catastrophic qi in the world suddenly multiplying several dozen times, slowly uttering these four words.

From the solemn expression on his face, one could easily discern shock and grave concern.

“Jiu! Why has Heaven’s tribulation erupted so suddenly?”

Li Zhixuan hurried over at this moment, her always-cold expression now replaced by anxiety and alarum.

It must be known, the tribulation occurs once every ten thousand years, or even tens of thousands—only when too much evil filth accumulates in the world, impeding its development.

At such times, the Heavenly Dao triggers the tribulation, using the opportunity to cleanse and consume a portion of the evil filth, lightening its burden.

Yet less than ten thousand years have passed since the last tribulation ended!

In these years, Li Zhirui alone has purified a sea eye, the Undying Volcano, and the evil filth in the earth core and earth core.

Not to mention the development of the World Traveling Technique, which has led to the conquest of numerous outer worlds, turning them into vassals of the Primal Spirit Realm.

Though unlike the Floating Light Realm, which was directly offered to elevate world grade and increase world origin, the existence of these vassal worlds should have alleviated much of the pressure on the Primal Spirit Realm.

Therefore, by logic, Heaven’s tribulation not only shouldn’t erupt now, but should be postponed for a considerable time!

So, is there some hidden secret behind this?

Facing Li Zhixuan’s question, Li Zhirui was equally full of doubts and unable to give a reasonable answer.

Not long after, Clan Leader Li Xiuyuan rushed over with a group of elders, faces panicked, saying, “Two Ancestors, how did Heaven’s tribulation erupt so suddenly?”

“We do not know, either.” Li Zhirui shook his head—with his tightly furrowed brows, it wasn’t hard to see the turmoil within.

“Given the current situation, how should the clan respond?”

Li Xiuyuan now felt fortunate that when tribulation erupted, the clan had already offered the Floating Light Realm, and after over two hundred years, nearly all clan members had recovered.

If it had erupted a hundred years earlier, the clan would have been in a perilous predicament; even a minor misstep would have brought disastrous losses, possibly even annihilation!
