Chapter 1003: Chapter 970: Retreat_2
The Flood Dragon’s massive body moved as quickly as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of the Water Devil. It opened its mouth to release a deep blue stream of Profound Ice.
"Roar!"
The Water Devil snarled, madly stirring its Mana, gathering it into its pincers before smashing it forward viciously.
Craack—
The stream of Profound Ice emitted a crisp cracking sound, seemingly blocked by the strike, but in reality, its pincers were coated with broken ice, the terrifying cold air already penetrating its body.
"It has some strength."
With a thought, Li Zhirui injected a fraction of his Spiritual Soul into the body of the Flood Dragon.
At that instant, the Flood Dragon seemed to come alive, no longer merely a shell of a Divine Power imitation, but possessing its own ’consciousness’ and aura.
The Flood Dragon soared into the sky, continuously gathering the surrounding water vapor. Clusters of Spiritual Clouds quickly formed, and within a radius of ten miles, the skies were densely clouded.
With a flick of the Flood Dragon’s tail, torrential rain poured down like waterfalls from the sky, each drop infused with Sun Water Yin Thunder!
The Water Devil was hit hard, its tough body instantly pierced with several large holes, and it let out a pitiful scream. However, within a few breaths, the noise vanished without a trace.
That seemingly powerful Sixth-order late stage Water Devil died at the hands of Li Zhirui.
Li Zhirui withdrew his Spiritual Soul, changed the spell in his hands, and in the next instant, the Flood Dragon transformed into a gentle drizzle, accurately falling on the cultivators within fifty miles, soothing their minds and directly healing their minor injuries.
"Such a powerful Spiritual Soul, such fine control!"
Some of the Lianxu Cultivators were shocked; if it were them, they definitely couldn’t achieve this.
"Which sect’s cultivator is this?"
Curiosity arose, planning to befriend him after the battle, surely it would be beneficial.
Li Zhirui stood in midair, formidable and majestic, and for a moment, no Water Devil dared to approach him for a battle!
But the next moment, he almost ’fell’ from the sky, seizing the opportunity when the Water Devils were unresponsive, he made his way back to the temporary camp at the fastest speed.
"Damn! I was tricked! He was actually bluffing!"
Those Water Devils, intimidated from rushing up to fight Li Zhirui, saw this scene, their expressions immediately darkened, they were all fooled!
"You better not enter the battlefield again, or you’ll definitely find no way back!" a Sixth-order Water Devil arrogantly shouted, as if it could easily take down Li Zhirui, not knowing that with its strength, it would only add another Sixth-order Water Devil corpse to Li Zhirui’s count.
"Pity, his cultivation is too low, if only he had Late Stage Refinement Void or even Mid Nascent Soul stage cultivation, he could’ve been a massive threat on the battlefield!"
Unlike the Sea Clan’s anger, the Cultivators felt pity for Li Zhirui.
Had his cultivation been just a bit higher, aside from those elite Integration Realm seniors, perhaps Li Zhirui’s contributions would have been even greater.
Only close ones like Da Qing and Xiaoqing knew that these displays by Li Zhirui were all his disguises.
Even before he changed to practice "Terrestrial Spirit Path Records," his strength was not limited to this, and Li Zhirui himself admitted that after changing the cultivation technique, his strength had increased several folds, which doesn’t seem like what he claimed.
But even they couldn’t understand what Li Zhirui was thinking, why he would hide his strength, unwilling to exert effort.
"Hey? How did you come back so quickly?" a severely injured cultivator, who had barely been saved, asked in surprise when he saw Li Zhirui.
"No choice, the moment I went out, I was targeted by a late Sixth-order brute; I barely managed to kill it after exhausting all means and barely escaped back here," Li Zhirui answered helplessly.
"Fellow Daoist is impressive! Being able to kill a late Sixth-order Water Devil, if I had your strength, I wouldn’t be reduced to healing here and missing out on the battlefield."
Li Zhirui just smiled, not responding to that comment, but walked aside, set up a shielding and Defensive Array, then entered it to recover his Mana.
For a stranger met by chance, there was no need to respond to every sentence, especially since that remark had another intention.
Just as Li Zhirui was slacking off, the battlefield above the Nine Heavens was also about to determine the victor!
The so-called Integration Realm is about refining oneself, the fusion of the Primal Qi of heaven and earth, and the Laws, the Spiritual Soul, and the body, with the mark of perfection being the Hundred Zhang Faxiang!
Therefore, the combat power between those in the Integration Realm is colossal, and the affected area is also very broad, which is why they have designated a separate battlefield.
At this battlefield, the cultivators of the Integration Realm from the Cave Abyss Sect and Zhang Family not only possess greater strength but also specifically sought out Spiritual Objects that target the Giant Pincer Thick Shell Crab.
A very special kind of Spirit Flower, which emits a fragrance that can provoke the lustful thoughts of Crab Devils!
The higher the realm of the Crab Devil, the stronger its resistance, but difficult to withstand the specially formulated Spiritual Incense from the Cave Abyss Sect whose effects have been enhanced tenfold!
Not only in the Wanxia Sea Domain, any nearby sea areas clarified by Immortal Tao which had vulnerabilities in the Sea Clan were identified by the five Immortal Realm Forces and exploited.
Hence, cultivators could push the battlefield forward so quickly, occupying many sea areas.
Even Seventh Rank Crab Devils, if they stay too long in the dense Spiritual Incense, would gradually have their lustful thoughts provoked.
As the saying goes, when masters contend, every move is deadly!
Crab Devils cannot concentrate their will, having to spend a lot of effort to suppress their lust, how could they possibly be a match for the cultivators?
"You actually resort to such sneaky methods!"
A group of Seventh Rank Crab Devils soon keenly sensed something was wrong after the Spiritual Incense was ignited. Not wanting to confront the cultivators, they planned to retreat into the sea, seeking opportunities in the future to make the cultivators restless, trapping them in this sea area, making it impossible for them to support other cultivators.
However, the cultivators, who had been plotting for several decades, how could they possibly let them escape?
By trapping them for a period, they could relatively easily resolve them all, and the Wanxia Sea Domain wouldn’t need a large number of cultivators to be stationed to prevent recapture by the Sea Clan.
Now, it’s time to harvest the lives of these Crab Devils!
"I will not let you succeed!"
More than twenty Seventh Rank Crab Devils exploded with long-suppressed rage, raising their massive pincers, and began attacking recklessly in all directions.
"Just stay put!"
The cultivators made various preparations, immediately trying to counter their attacks to prevent them from escaping.
Unexpectedly, at the moment they acted, all the Crab Devils suddenly flew in one direction.
"Not good! It’s a trap!"
The combined body cultivators hastily adjusted their spells.
But the next action of the Crab Devils shocked them tremendously.
They saw the giant pincers in their hands actually detach from their bodies, attacking the cultivators at lightning speed.
For their own safety, they had to stop their spells, retreating backward while deploying defense to intercept these flying pincers.
This way, they couldn’t take care of the Crab Devils.
Crack!
Accompanied by a series of crisp cracking sounds, the Confinement Formation meant to stop them was already shattered.
"This debt, our Giant Pincer Crab clan will remember, and there will be payback in the future!"
Leaving behind a harsh statement, all Seventh Rank Crab Devils dove into the deep sea, instantly disappearing from sight.
Only leaving behind a group of cultivators with ugly expressions, they had made all sorts of ample preparations, having full confidence to eliminate that group of Seventh Rank Crab Devils and thus completely occupy this sea domain, then sending a large number of cultivators to support the surroundings.
Contrary to everyone’s expectations, the Seventh Rank Crab Devils were only severely injured, not one died! All their plans had come to naught.
"No one expected that they would have such a tactic; there was no description in the previous records, it is not our fault. For now, we should focus on ending the war quickly, setting up stations, and completely occupying this sea domain!" After a while, the leading cultivator of the Cave Abyss Sect finally spoke.
In fact, they didn’t even need to take action; the Sea Clan had already begun to retreat!
Moreover, the way the Sea Clan retreated was very convenient, simply sinking down and diving into the sea, making it impossible for the cultivators to pursue.
Thus, when Li Zhirui emerged from the formation, he was surprised to find that the great battle had already ended!
