Chapter 1031: Chapter 984: Shock_2
But Li Zhirui’s actions shocked them.
Bang!
Li Zhirui’s mana turned swiftly, even using the enhancement of Cave Heaven, and a towering giant tree instantly shattered those tornadoes, even causing surging waves in the East Sea, attacking that group of cultivators.
And his actions did not stop there; once he made a move, they were the enemy, and of course, they had to be subjugated!
This was also because they were fellow cultivators, and Wanling Island was not far from their respective Spirit Islands, raising concerns about their joint attack on Wanling Island.
Of course, the most important consideration was the words Li Zhirui had said to them.
If several Nascent Soul powers really fought among themselves in the Wanxia Sea Domain, it would be an excellent opportunity for the Sea Clan, who would certainly launch a major assault!
Should they truly lose a few Spirit Islands, it would cause a tremendous impact and threat to the entire coastal area as well as the Wanxia Sea Domain.
If such a thing were to happen, one would truly be a great sinner in the East Continent Immortal Tao, facing terrifying punishment, and the Li family could be oppressed to the point of extinction!
Otherwise, when facing an enemy, Li Zhirui would surely kill them in order to avoid future troubles.
—
With just one move, Li Zhirui forced them into a wretched retreat!
Because those huge waves contained a formidable power of their own, and he had added many techniques within, but they did not detect them immediately, only reacting after being struck.
But by then, it was too late to defend, and they could only beat a hasty retreat.
When they finally steadied themselves, their eyes bloodshot and filled with fury, they were eager to tear Li Zhirui apart!
This assault of theirs was sure to become the biggest joke among Wanxia and several neighboring sea domains!
Several Nascent Soul cultivators, most of them in the Mid Nascent Soul stage, faced Li Zhirui, who was in the Early Stage of Nascent Soul Refinement, and were forced to retreat in disarray after just one move.
So much so that their anger clouded their vision, preventing them from seeing Li Zhirui’s strength, only thinking about how to reclaim their honor and how to retaliate against Li Zhirui.
One by one, recklessly launching their most powerful attacks, and even though Nascent Soul cultivators were not high-level cultivators in the Primal Spirit Realm, their actions still caused a change in the colors of the sky and the earth!
Raging whirlwinds, exploding Spiritual Fire, and terrifying thunder - various Divine Powers manifested all at once outside Wanling Island, painting an apocalyptic scene that made the clansmen on the island very nervous.
"Should we help out, Spirit Ancestor?" an Elder asked worriedly.
"Don’t worry, Jiu will be fine!"
Da Qing said confidently, "This battle will establish Jiu’s reputation to prevent small fry from presuming to cause trouble in the future."
It’s fair to say that Da Qing understands Li Zhirui the best – he never fights a battle without certainty, being very cautious and careful!
And now, seeing the relaxed expression on Li Zhirui’s face, Da Qing knew he didn’t take these attacks seriously at all.
At the same time, Da Qing was very curious about the full extent of Li Zhirui’s strength, having hidden it during the previous battle between the two camps.
He was even more interested in knowing how much the Earth Spirit Tao Record had enhanced his strength since the great battle had come to an end, and Da Qing too was planning to revise his cultivation technique.
Of course, Da Qing also understood that because Li Zhirui had a Mysterious Space, allowing him to move with Cave Heaven, he could receive its enhancements, an opportunity they did not possess.
"Sigh!"
Li Zhirui shook his head helplessly, sighing, "For such a trivial matter, why escalate to this extent?"
But in the next moment, his expression became extremely solemn!
Although he despised the strength of these few people, a lion uses full strength when catching a rabbit, and at such a time, Li Zhirui would certainly not hold back.
Despite just having expended a large amount of mana, when Li Zhirui made his move this time, his mana was still abundant, and he had received even more enhancements.
Thunderous roars—
Li Zhirui used the giant tree he had previously summoned as a foundation, transforming it into a colossal tree person that hovered mid-air, its numerous roots like pythons, striking down towards the Divine Powers they wielded.
The apparently flimsy roots were in fact incredibly ferocious, easily smashing those attacks to pieces.
"Impossible!"
"How can this be possible! You’re just at the Early Stage of Void Refinement, how can you possess such formidable combat power?"
At this scene, those few angry Nascent Soul Cultivators, were like doused with cold water, instantly sobering up, followed by disbelief.
A cultivator at the Early Stage of Void Refinement, no matter how, should not possess such overwhelming combat power!
In reality, it was their lack of exposure, unaware that although Li Zhirui’s combat power was formidable, among those Immortal Realm powers, there were indeed disciples who could match him!
And unlike Li Zhirui, they had such mighty strength not due to various serendipities, but because those old Immortal Realm powers could mass train such disciples.
They had thoroughly understood every realm of cultivation in their many years of development, knowing how to solidify their foundation, enhance combat power, and increase the chances of breaking through the realms, and so on.
"This matter is simply a common sparring between us, may I ask what your opinions are?" Li Zhirui couldn’t really kill them, that would bring about too grave consequences.
So after he intimidated them with his powerful strength, he intended to stop.
"That’s right, Fellow Daoist Li speaks truthfully! This sparring has brought us many insights, eager to return and reflect, we shall not linger here."
One of them spoke, and then quickly left with their fellow cultivators.
The faces of the other few were very unsightly, silent for a while before someone finally spoke up: "Fellow Daoist Li possesses formidable strength, we acknowledge our inferiority this time!"
Although the step Li Zhirui gave could not hide the specifics of this grand battle, since the commotion was so large, nearby powers had long dispatched people to investigate.
Would they help keep it a secret? Highly unlikely, they’d rather relish in seeing their humiliation.
But at least, that step would make their face look a bit better.
After that, the remaining cultivators quickly departed from Wanling Island.
"Jiu, is this all the strength you possess?" Da Qing couldn’t wait to come forward and inquire.
Whether it was Li Chengsheng and Cang, the high-level cultivators beside Da Qing, or the clan members behind them, all looked at Li Zhirui with eager eyes, wanting to get a clear answer.
Speaking of which, among the cultivators and Spirit Beasts of the Li family, aside from Li Zhirui who possessed a Personal Space, none were more suitable for the "Earth Spirit Tao Record" than Da Qing!
Because he often stayed with the family, seldom venturing out to gain experience, and Da Qing knew this, so he was rather keen on changing his cultivation technique, it was just the timing that had not been right.
"Yes."
But privately, Li Zhirui secretly transmitted a message to Da Qing, saying, "I only exerted eighty percent of my strength."
Da Qing’s pupils fiercely shrank, and it was only because his mental state was usually good; otherwise, hearing this news, he would have had a much greater reaction.
"Because I was quite lucky, what I refined is an Immortal Grade Spiritual Root, so my combat power is much stronger than described in the inheritance."
Hearing this, a contemplative look flashed in Da Qing’s eyes; the grade of the Spirit Seed could affect combat power!
Therefore, his original plan to change cultivation techniques as soon as possible, was about to change again.
Because Da Qing was planning to find a Spirit Seed of high enough grade, not content with the seventh-grade Spirit Seed the family had sought for him.
"Alright, let’s all go back, Wanling Island has many matters to attend to, thank you for your hard work." Li Zhirui gestured, then departed in a flash.
But this time his strike has left a deep impression on many in the Li family!
Especially those who previously did not think the "Earth Spirit Tao Record" was that powerful and had hesitated over changing their techniques, were greatly shocked!
The former immediately changed their minds, pondering whether they should also change their cultivation, while the latter decisively made up their minds, planning to apply for the technique from the family.
However, regarding this situation, Li Hongshi and the Elders were not very optimistic.
