Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 395 - 401: The End

In excitement, the Flood Dragon failed to notice that facing life and death, Li Zhirui not only wasnʼt slightest bit panicked or frightened, but instead was full of eager anticipation and excitement.

It felt that with their tight encirclement, Li Zhiruiʼs death was imminent, giving them a sense of satisfaction akin to revenge being served.

”Since this man refuses to bow down, then kill him for me!” As soon as the Flood Dragon finished this sentence, it regretted it, quickly correcting itself, ”No! I want to capture him alive to show him how formidable I am!”

”Hahahahaha!” Watching the Flood Dragonʼs performance indifferently all along, Li Zhirui suddenly burst into loud laughter; yet under the current circumstances, his behavior seemed like he couldnʼt handle the pressure and had suddenly gone mad.

But when they saw what Li Zhirui took out, terror instantly crawled up everyoneʼs faces. Some Devil Beasts with lower cultivation, who had pushed to the front to please the Flood Dragon, were especially ashen.

Those third-order Devil Beasts might still have a chance to escape and save their lives, but these men would definitely become corpses under the terrifying attack of the Heavenly Thunder Pearl!

”Madman! Youʼre a madman!” It was then that a Devil Beast finally sensed something amiss and remembered Li Zhiruiʼs abnormal actions previously, terrified to realize that his aim in battling everyone was to draw the attention of the Devil Beasts and gather a large number of them here.

”Boom boom boom—”

Facing the towering rage in the eyes of the Devil Beasts, Li Zhirui felt not a bit uncomfortable. Excited, he directly activated the Heavenly Thunder Pearl and threw it toward the area where the most Devil Beasts were clustered.

For a moment, heaven and earth seemed to collapse, thunder roared, and the Sea of Myriad Devils churned up wave after wave, disturbing countless spirits.

”Whatʼs happening?”

”What has occurred?!”

Devil Beasts further away could only hear the terrified, frightened screams of their kin, and by the time they realized what was happening, they too were close to death.

With just one Heavenly Thunder Pearl, Li Zhirui eliminated nearly a hundred of the Devil Race, including over a dozen third-order Devil Beasts.

So remarkable were his achievements that Li Zhirui wished he could produce several more Heavenly Thunder Pearls, with so many Devil Beasts around. If he could finish them all off, he might fear the sixth layer trial was passed!

Unfortunately, Li Zhirui originally only had two given by his family, and one of them he had given to Li Zhiyue as her life-saving Spirit Talisman.

However, to Li Zhiruiʼs surprise, he survived the massive explosion!

He had not planned on surviving at the outset, after all, he was aware of the Heavenly Thunder Pearlʼs potency, which third-order Talismans could not withstand.

But to his utter disbelief, the Spirit Talisman drawn by Li Shiqing was so powerful that it withstood a massive attack from numerous Devil Beasts and even resisted the explosion of the Heavenly Thunder Pearl—truly extraordinary!

Of course, Li Zhirui knew in his heart that Li Shiqing could not possibly have created such an unusual Spirit Talisman. Indeed, from the moment the Spirit Talisman displayed its extraordinary properties, he felt something was amiss because he distinctly remembered not having such a powerful talisman in hand.

In light of this, he scanned his storage ring with his Divine Sense and found several profound Spirit Talismans!

If he included the defense Spirit Talisman already used, that made up exactly the Talismans he left with Liu Sihe and others when he departed from Liu Family Village.

The moment he realized this, numerous thoughts emerged in Li Zhiruiʼs mind—setting other things aside, one thing was certain: the identity of ʼLiu Siheʼ was a mystery, and he was incredibly strong!

Otherwise, how could he possibly have modified Li Shiqingʼs Spirit Talismans and silently placed them into his storage ring without his notice?

At the same time, Li Zhirui felt incredibly lucky. Fortunate because after entering the Secret Realm, knowing the presence of the Artifact Spirit in the obelisk, he had never once entered the space, just sending the Spiritual Objects exchanged from the obelisk into it.

But letʼs get back to the story!

”Letʼs see what youʼre made of!” Li Zhirui summoned Thousand Spirits, like a fearsome demon, as he controlled them to continuously slaughter the Devil Beasts.

Many Devil Beasts had their courage shattered by the earlier Heavenly Thunder Pearl, so Li Zhirui had an easier time dealing with them. It was as effortless as slicing through watermelons; he casually slaughtered a large swath of Devil Beasts.

But that was as far as it went!

Plenty of Devil Beasts had regained their senses and began to fight back.

However, all of this had nothing to do with Li Zhirui anymore, as he had exhausted his strength from killing too many Devil Beasts and ultimately perished. If he hadnʼt completely run out of mana, he might have self-destructed to take down even more Devil Beasts.

Then, when he next opened his eyes, he found himself back in the resting space.

”I wonder which level of the trial Iʼve passed this time!” Li Zhiruiʼs face brimmed with anticipation. He dared not even dream of passing the seventh level, but the sixth level seemed within reach. Who knows, he might have made it?

Before long, a dull, slow voice echoed in the space, ”Please claim the rewards for the fourth and fifth levels...”

Li Zhiruiʼs heart tightened. He thought his mental resilience was quite good, but it seemed he still couldnʼt achieve a state of unflappability!

”The sixth level!”

The dust settled!

”Hahahaha!” Li Zhirui couldnʼt help but burst into laughter, appearing somewhat mad in his ecstasy.

”Please claim your rewards!”

”The sixth-level reward, exchange the Cultivation Technique ʼWanling Sutraʼ; for the fifth level, exchange one Fifth-order Spirit Beast Egg with True Dragon bloodline and wood and water attributes; and for the fourth level, exchange for one Nascent Soul Pill!”

The importance of the ʼWanling Sutraʼ went without saying, no need for further words.

The Fifth-order Spirit Beast Egg with a True Dragon bloodline was for his own use. Yes! He planned to contract a third Spirit Beast and, with such a great opportunity at hand, he certainly did not want to miss it.

Given the lascivious nature of dragons, regardless of their gender, once they reached maturity, they could breed a True Dragon Tribe and provide a batch of mid to high-level Spirit Beasts for the family.

As for the Nascent Soul Pill, to be honest, Li Zhirui hadnʼt exchanged it for himself, because after this trial, he faintly sensed the hope of breaking through his current bottleneck. If successful, the Nascent Soul Realm was just one step away for him.

So this Nascent Soul Pill was exchanged for Jiang Fengwu.

As Li Zhirui finished speaking, a Jade Slip, a sky-blue Spirit Beast Egg, and a jade bottle appeared in succession.

The moment he got his hands on the treasures, Li Zhirui couldnʼt wait to probe into the Jade Slip with his Divine Sense, reading its contents eagerly.

As for the Spirit Beast Egg and the Nascent Soul Pill, he had already forgotten them to one side.

It was only after the Artifact Spirit reminded him that he was about to be teleported out that Li Zhirui withdrew from the Jade Slip and hastily packed away the three treasures.

”Come to think of it, itʼs rumored that someone once completed the eighth level of the trial, only to fall at the very last hurdle. I wonder how they did it.” His voice had barely faded when Li Zhirui himself vanished from sight.
