Chapter 1137: Chapter 1037: Divine Power_2
By then, the Methods meticulously deduced by the Cultivators would be buried with the destruction of the world, a truly regrettable loss.
"I must race against time!" Li Zhirui muttered to himself.
If there’s no other way, he still has one method — that is, the few Cultivators previously found hiding within a Formation. At the last moment, Li Zhirui wouldn’t care so much; he would directly break the Formation and obtain the Methods from them.
The following period saw Li Zhirui extremely busy, hustling about the Qianling Realm in search, but regretfully, he did not obtain any Methods that restrained Demon Cultivators.
During this time, he also encountered many local Cultivators, but most of them had too low of a Cultivation to qualify for learning the Demonslaying Divine Ability, and they ran away upon seeing Li Zhirui.
Just as Li Zhirui was about to leave in disappointment, several Void Refinement and Integration Cultivators suddenly appeared not far away. His eyes brightened; these individuals had significant Cultivation, and judging from the state of the Qianling Realm, they had definitely survived the Immortal Demon Battlefield and surely learned numerous Demonslaying Divine Abilities.
Seeing the possibility of achieving his goal, Li Zhirui happily approached them. 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝑚
However, the group of Cultivators, upon seeing Li Zhirui with a rosy complexion emitting a pure aura, immediately had other ideas.
Because Li Zhirui’s condition indicated that he was clearly in no lack of Spirit Stones, Precious Pills, and other Spiritual Objects for replenishing Mana.
And these Spiritual Objects were extremely valuable at this time when the world was on the brink of destruction!
If they could get their hands on them, they could surely recover, and having these would add a bit more confidence when forcefully charging into The Void later.
As Li Zhirui came within a closer distance, he keenly noticed the odd look in their eyes and became alert and guarded.
He stopped approaching and politely asked, "Fellow Daoists, I wonder if you possess any Demonslaying Divine Abilities?"
"Naturally, we do, but we’re curious about how the Fellow Daoist plans to trade?" They didn’t care why Li Zhirui was seeking such an odd Demonslaying Divine Ability; they were only thinking about obtaining more Spiritual Objects.
"I still have some Spirit Stones and Precious Pills on me. If you are willing, we can just trade directly, what do you think?"
"Good!"
Watching Li Zhirui take out those Precious Pills and Spirit Stones, a look of desire and greed burst forth in their eyes.
It was this action that made them decide to act.
A trade would only yield a portion, but isn’t it better to subdue the person and seize all the Spiritual Objects from them?
Crack!
A bolt of lightning suddenly struck Li Zhirui. Had he not been on guard and instantly activated a defensive Spell, he would have been severely injured.
"What is the meaning of this?" Li Zhirui asked with a cold face.
"Hmph!"
The lead elder scoffed disdainfully, "What time is it now? Yet the Fellow Daoist still looks so splendid and full of Mana, which is truly envy-inducing."
"Hehe!"
They actually dared to throw the blame on him after harboring evil intentions themselves, such brazen shamelessness was indeed laughable.
"Since that’s the case, let’s see just how capable you all are." Li Zhirui, fearless, even if he couldn’t overcome them, escaping was still possible.
"I advise you to obediently hand over your Storage Magical Treasure. As long as you keep your life, such external objects can be obtained again in the future," the elder advised, seemingly with good intentions.
In this world on the verge of destruction, talking about later and the future? That’s a big joke.
"Then let’s see your capabilities!"
Li Zhirui’s hands flew into motion, countless spells were cast in an instant, and a Spirit Light enveloped all of them, not giving them a chance to escape.
Boom, boom, boom—
Soon, dark clouds churned, and lightning roared within, bellowing; one would expect a downpour, but what came crashing down were massively powerful bolts of lightning.
"This is bad!"
The cultivators, when they attempted to grab the spiritual objects, only saw their numerical advantage but overlooked the significant decline in their own strength due to the lack of nurturing by spiritual energy.
Also, due to the lack of mana, they were completely unable to unleash powerful divine abilities.
As a result, they were extremely disheveled in their defense against Li Zhirui’s attacks.
At this point, they were already regretful, realizing that they had provoked an existence they should not have provoked.
"Fellow Daoist, we can sit down and discuss this matter, there’s no need for such violence, it’s detrimental to goodwill," someone pleaded for mercy upon seeing the situation unfavorable for them.
"Scared now? Sadly, it’s too late!" Li Zhirui originally intended to trade honestly, but now he had changed his mind.
Considering the face of their cultivation and strength, he was planning to use some Precious Pills and Spirit Stones to exchange for methods because in the process of fighting them, Li Zhirui instantly noticed their issues.
He had room to replenish mana and had plenty of Precious Pills for recovery, so he was not worried about running low on mana at all.
However, these indigenous cultivators had long exhausted most of their Spirit Stones and Precious Pills over the years, and they would not use their last resorts unless it was absolutely necessary.
In order to capture several cultivators, Li Zhirui exerted his divine might and unleashed various powerful divine powers, and those demon cultivators
Thus, it took less than half an hour for Li Zhirui to overtake those cultivators in battle.
If it were not for the special location of the Qianling Realm, Li Zhirui could not have accomplished this, capturing several cultivators who had attained Void Refinement and Integration.
Had Li Zhirui not wanted to extract the method of Demonslaying from them, he would’ve killed them without hesitation, as he is not one to leave troubles for the future.
"Fellow Daoist, don’t you want the Demonslaying Divine Ability? I possess a very powerful divine ability that nearly no demon cultivator of the same realm can withstand. As long as you are willing to release me, I will definitely present it to you with both hands!"
The old cultivator had lived for so many years, least caring for his face. As long as he could survive, getting spit on was nothing to him.
"Inscribe all the Demonslaying Divine Abilities you know into the Jade Slips, no whispering to each other, and don’t try to be clever, or else don’t blame me for being ruthless," Li Zhirui did not take the bait, not even giving a hint of a promise to let the people go.
Yet even so, these cultivators still participated very eagerly, trying to show their worth and leave a good impression on Li Zhirui.
Regrettably, what they didn’t know was that the moment they took action, Li Zhirui had already sentenced them to death in his heart!
That is to say, no matter how hard they tried, Li Zhirui would not spare them.
Soon, several people inscribed the Demonslaying Divine Abilities into the Jade Slips. Li Zhirui casually took one, extended his Divine Sense into it to confirm there were no tricks left behind, before he began to examine the various divine abilities with peace of mind.
It has to be said, truly worthy of an existence that has fought against the Demonic Tao for countless years, many flaws and weaknesses of demon cultivators, along with various countermeasures, were reflected in the diverse Demonslaying Divine Abilities.
As for the remaining Jade Slips, no one dared to keep them to themselves, inscribing all the divine abilities they knew into the Jade Slips.
"Many thanks for your efforts!"
After briefly checking and finding no issues, Li Zhirui addressed the cultivators with a seemingly gentle face.
Seeing Li Zhirui’s calm demeanor, they breathed a sigh of relief, thinking they were now safe.
But in the next instant, several ice spikes suddenly appeared, and amid their stunned gazes, they pierced their chests.
"Didn’t you say you would let us go?"
Li Zhirui raised an eyebrow and asked in confusion, "When did I ever say such a thing?"
"Hahaha!" The old cultivator looked at Li Zhirui with venom in his eyes and cursed, "We’ll be waiting for you down there!"
"I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed, the destruction of the Qianling Realm can’t affect me, as I am not a creature of this world."
The old cultivator’s pupils dilated suddenly, repeatedly muttering, "No wonder! No wonder!"
With a heart full of unwillingness, the cultivators one by one lost their breath.
"Dying sooner is better, at least they won’t have to witness the destruction of the world and die in absolute despair," Li Zhirui said, and then summoned a burst of Spiritual Fire to cleanly burn their corpses.
A gust of wind blew by, carrying their ashes away, to an unknown place.
