Chapter 1069: Chapter 1003: Take Action_2
In fact, Lu had not fallen; being a Refinement Void cultivator, how could he be so easily slain?
He was merely injured by the Flood Dragon and under Li Zhirui’s relentless pursuit, his injuries worsened.
The screams that Master Bai heard were deliberately made by Li Zhirui so that he would become panicked and anxious, revealing openings!
"Damn it!"
Lu used his Mana to seal his acupoints to stop the bleeding, but Li Zhirui gave him no chance to breathe. In the fierce battle, his Mana was rapidly depleted, and his wounds reopened, visibly weakening him.
He knew his situation was extremely dangerous. If he continued to struggle, he might indeed die here, so he prepared to go all out!
Suddenly, he pinched a spell and a Glazed Pagoda shimmering with Spirit Light flew out, blazing brightly and dazzling to behold. Though it seemed only a hundred zhang in size, it gave a feeling of immense pressure, swiftly crashing down towards Li Zhirui.
Roar!
Li Zhirui glanced at it and channeled a great amount of Mana into the Flood Dragon. Using its immense strength, he forcibly held up the Pagoda, immobilized.
"A fine Magical Treasure, it would be suitable for the Scripture Pavilion," Li Zhirui spoke, exuding a sense of certain victory.
Lu’s face looked terribly grim. He had used his most powerful Magical Treasure, but now it could not be retrieved, and as for other methods, he couldn’t even get close enough to injure Li Zhirui.
’He’s only at the Mid Nascent Soul stage, why is he so powerful?’ Lu was filled with doubt.
He and Master Bai had planned to attack Li Zhirui, thinking that his Cultivation was low, but the result was unexpected!
Li Zhirui fought them two-on-one, not only holding his ground but even overpowering them, pushing him to a dead end.
"I’ll fight you with all I’ve got!"
Knowing the longer it went, the more in danger he was, Lu immediately mobilized all his Mana, transforming it into a huge flaming red sword, surrounded by roaring flames, and charged straight at Li Zhirui.
Unfortunately, Li Zhirui’s strength was far greater. Even though Lu used his trump card, it was nothing significant to Li Zhirui, not enough to make him exert his full strength.
The moisture in the air condensed into an ice sword in Li Zhirui’s hand. With a casual wave, he slashed out blue Sword Qi, entangling the giant sword.
Crack, crack—
The fire sword shattered into several pieces under the terrifying cold.
"You’ve lost!"
Lu suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. He was already injured, and coupled with such intense fighting, what was more important was that he lost the hope of survival, and his spirit drastically dwindled.
Li Zhirui, of course, showed no mercy and decisively slew him while he was unguarded!
The situation of the other cultivator was slightly better, but only slightly. Master Bai also could not escape the fog due to Li Zhirui’s double-effort obstruction.
Even if he had escaped, it would be useless, as there was a layer made of countless Spirit Vines forming a very sturdy and flexible cage outside, impossible to escape from quickly.
Moreover, the longer the time, the more panicked Master Bai became, with Lu’s screams echoing in his ears.
When Li Zhirui reappeared, Master Bai seemed to realize something and asked with a trembling voice, "How is Lu?" 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
"Dead." Li Zhirui’s tone was very calm, as if the one who died at his hands was not a Refinement Void cultivator, but merely an ant.
"It’s my fault! If I wasn’t so greedy, you wouldn’t have died," Master Bai cried out in sorrow.
Li Zhirui snorted. Now you regret it? Too late!
While Master Bai was slightly stronger than Lu, it made no difference to Li Zhirui, and soon, he was slain.
Without those two troublesome cultivators, he could temporarily search for Spiritual Objects with ease.
As there might be other cultivators eyeing this Spirit Mountain, planning to contest it with Li Zhirui.
In Spirit Mountain, Spiritual Objects are rather abundant, and indeed, he quickly discovered a seventh-grade Spiritual Medicine.
"Seventh-grade Purple Pearl Flower?" Li Zhirui leaned in for a closer look, his face immediately showing a hint of joy.
Not only because of its grade, but also because it’s a very unique Spiritual Medicine!
If one plants Red Pearl Flowers of the first grade, Orange Pearl Flowers of the second grade... all seven different colored Pearl Flowers together, they will attract and entwine with each other as they grow, eventually forming an eighth-grade Seven-Colored Pearl Flower!
The primary effects of the Seven-Colored Pearl Flower are to increase Mana and refine Mana, all without any side effects or hidden dangers!
For Great Vehicle Cultivators, this is an extremely important and precious Spiritual Medicine, as it can significantly reduce their cultivation time, giving them more time to solidify their foundation, enhance their strength, and prepare for the final Immortal Ascension Tribulation.
You must know, the Tribulation Transcending Realm is a realm delineated by the predecessors of the Immortal Tao to reduce the difficulty of ascension. At this point, there actually is no division of early, middle, or late stages.
As long as you have sufficient confidence and strength, even if you have just broken through, you can sense the Thunder Tribulation!
Although Li Zhirui is only at the Refinement Void stage and doesn’t need it in the short term, it doesn’t mean he won’t need it in the future.
Therefore, he was very pleased to have found the Purple Pearl Flower, and since the other six Pearl Flowers are relatively common, after this great battle is over, Li Zhirui planned to start cultivating an eighth-grade Seven-Colored Pearl Flower, which could also save some nurturing Spirit Stones.
Li Zhirui was lucky, scouring an entire Spirit Mountain without any Cultivators coming to attack the mountain.
Of course, it might also be because the power he displayed made other Cultivators dread him and not dare to trouble him, for defeating two Refinement Void Cultivators singlehandedly is no small feat.
However, if Li Zhirui were to trouble them and try to snatch the Spiritual Objects from their hands, they definitely would not just surrender without a fight.
Fortunately, the Cultivators who have reacted so far are few, and even fewer have reached the heartland of the Devil Race, so there are still many unoccupied Spirit Mountains.
And Li Zhirui does not want to snatch Spiritual Objects from other Cultivators, as it would be too time-consuming.
However, this is only for now, when many Spiritual Objects are still undiscovered and there is no need for open conflict. But as Spiritual Objects become scarcer, or some precious Spiritual Objects are discovered, skirmishes among Cultivators will frequently occur!
Afterward, Li Zhirui went to several more Spirit Mountains and indeed found some high-grade Spiritual Objects, but none as surprising as the Purple Pearl Flower.
And as time passed, Spiritual Objects grew scarcer, Cultivators became more numerous, and conflicts increasingly erupted.
Li Zhirui was not intimidated at all; unless a Rare Stage Cultivator took action, or he was surrounded by dozens of Void Refinement Cultivators, he was not worried about losing!
His formidable strength brought him immense confidence!
"Hand over the Spiritual Objects, and I might spare your life!"
Indeed, some reckless Cultivator launched an attack on Li Zhirui.
Perhaps they thought he was an easy target, a pushover—after all, the opponent was in the late stage of Refinement Void, a level above Li Zhirui.
"Hand over your Storage Magical Treasure, and I might spare your life!" Li Zhirui altered a few words and threw them back.
"Since you are seeking death, you can’t blame me!" The Cultivator snorted coldly and immediately raised the Dragon Head Staff in his hands to strike Li Zhirui.
——
"Damn it! Why did you attack me!" Xiaoqing, somewhat in disarray, fiercely stared at the three Zhang Family Refinement Void Cultivators not far away.
It was caught off guard and taken by surprise by the three, hence suffering minor injuries.
"Species not our own, will have hearts that are different! Blame your own non-human origin then!" one of them self-righteously proclaimed.
"Hah!"
Xiaoqing sneered disdainfully, ultimately they glimpsed the valuable seventh-grade Spiritual Medicine it acquired, and seeing it alone, they harbored malicious intentions, dressing up their motives with fine words.
"Then let me experience your strength!"
