Chapter 1257: Chapter 1097: Individual Immortal!_2

"Did you all forget that Jiu still has one last trump card he hasn’t used?"

Li Zhixuan remained quite calm, as if she wasn’t worried at all about Li Zhirui failing the Tribulation Transcendence, saying, "The cultivation technique Jiu practices can open up a Cave Heaven, have you ever seen him use the Cave Heaven Power?"

Everyone was taken aback, immediately relieved. They were indeed needlessly anxious, having forgotten that Li Zhirui had not yet used his strongest method.

Rumble——

The ninth Tribulation Thunder, brewing for a moment, fell down, seemingly tearing through space. It appeared directly in front of Li Zhirui, and in an instant, it swallowed him whole. A Thunder Pool spread across the ground, dazzling Thunder Light flashed madly, preventing everyone from seeing clearly what was inside.

Li Zhirui indeed didn’t have time to react at first; the last Tribulation Thunder was unexpectedly bizarre. Fortunately, he was always prepared and immediately used the Water-Wood Divine Light to fend off the Tribulation Thunder from devouring him.

Although it was just a few breaths’ time, it was enough for him to employ follow-up moves.

Li Zhirui furiously circulated the Mana within him, various attack and Defense Divine Abilities continuously unfolded, clashing with the Tribulation Thunder.

"Is it still not enough?"

Li Zhirui realized the Tribulation Thunder was gaining the upper hand, pressing him step by step. Helplessly, he could only fortify himself with the Cave Heaven Power to enhance his strength.

And in the Thunder Pool where everyone couldn’t see, two Divine Dragons coiled, protecting Li Zhirui while exhaling clouds and summoning rain, spitting out thunder to dissipate the Tribulation Thunder.

"Hmm?"

Just as he should be focusing on the Tribulation Thunder, Li Zhirui suddenly discovered some changes in the space within the Cave Heaven. A terrifying devouring force erupted, absorbing some weakened and soon-to-disappear Tribulation Thunder.

"This is..."

As more Tribulation Thunder was absorbed, the changes in the Cave Heaven became more significant.

Seeing the Five Elements Immortal Root that had grown into a towering tree constantly exhaling Five Elements Spiritual Light into the Cave Heaven, Li Zhirui immediately understood something.

"The Cave Heaven is upgrading to a Minor Thousand World!"

The Five Elements are the foundation of the world, and the Tribulation Thunder contains various fragmented Laws. Once absorbed by the Cave Heaven, they naturally become nourishment for its promotion.

Thinking of this, Li Zhirui couldn’t help but feel a bit regretful.

If he had realized this sooner, the fragmented Laws from the previous eight Tribulation Thunders wouldn’t have been wasted!

Li Zhirui always remembered in the "Earth Spirit Tao Record," among the conditions for breaking through to the Individual Immortal Realm, one is to upgrade the Cave Heaven to a Minor Thousand World.

And he had made many preparations beforehand, like the Five Elements Immortal Root, Five Viscera Gods, and collecting numerous Five Elements Spiritual Items.

Li Zhirui thought the Cave Heaven upgrade would occur during his Tribulation Thunder, when he absorbed Spiritual Energy, never expecting it could start in advance.

After all, the Earth Spirit Sect that created the "Earth Spirit Tao Record" never reached the Individual Immortal Realm, so naturally, they didn’t know the details.

"What a pity!" Li Zhirui lamented with a sigh, while keeping an eye on the external Tribulation Thunder, he mobilized the prepared various Five Elements Spiritual Items.

Rumble——

With Li Zhirui’s actions, a huge booming sound erupted from deep within the Cave Heaven, and the whole space began to collapse, but it quickly started to transform under the joint action of the Five Elements Laws and various fragmented Laws.

Most importantly, the Cave Heaven unleashed a terrifying devouring force, frantically absorbing Spiritual Energy.

Fortunately, the Spiritual Energy in the Personal Space was dense enough to temporarily meet the demand.

Seeing the Cave Heaven upgrade proceeding methodically, Li Zhirui began to retract his Divine Sense to face the last Heart Demon.

At this moment, the last Tribulation Thunder completely dissipated, and a black light plunged straight into his forehead.

"Hahaha..."

The Heart Demon, upon entering Li Zhirui’s Sea of Consciousness, involuntarily let out a series of excited eerie laughs, its surrounding power began to spread, trying to pollute the Sea of Consciousness and drag him into the Illusionary Realm.

But the next instant, upon seeing the enormous Purifying White Lotus in the center of the Sea of Consciousness, the Heart Demon immediately burst into a sharp, fearful scream, exclaiming in disbelief, "How can you possibly have a Purifying White Lotus!"

"Because this is a Principle I mastered."

Li Zhirui’s Spiritual Soul grinned and said, "Since you’re here, then don’t leave."

Upon saying this, a pure white light swept across the entire Sea of Consciousness. When it touched the Heart Demon’s body, it was like pouring a basin of cold water into a boiling pot, exploding instantly!

The Heart Demon struggled desperately to resist, but, sadly, it ultimately was like a rootless floating plant, and with this being Li Zhirui’s main field, he had the Purification Principle to restrain it.

With conditions, timing, and harmony on Li Zhirui’s side, after wailing in agony for some time, it eventually turned into a clean soul stone about the size of a thumb and fell into the Spiritual Soul’s hand.

As obstacles to the cultivation of living beings, if Heart Demons can be eradicated, it’s natural to gain soul stones.

However, these soul stones generally cannot be absorbed without purification; otherwise, not only would there be no benefit to the Spiritual Soul, but it might also end up tainted with Heart Demon’s thoughts, gradually leading to a fall.

Buzz——

At the moment the Heart Demon disappeared, the sky above Mount Wanxian became filled with auspicious clouds, utterly different from the storm-clouded outside world.

An enormous column of Spiritual Light poured into Li Zhirui, propelling the enhancement of his cultivation.

Originally everything was going smoothly, but everyone was surprised to find Li Zhirui’s speed in absorbing Spiritual Energy was too fast. Even as the light column was about to dissipate, he still hadn’t broken through to the Individual Immortal Realm!

"Not good, the Spiritual Energy converted from the Thunder Tribulation is running out!"

Li Zhixuan was the first to react, calmly and quickly instructing, "Aunt Fengwu, could you please lead the Formation, gather all the Spiritual Energy of Mount Wanxian, and everyone else help control the scene, preventing anything from getting caught up in it."

Immersed in the exhilarating feeling of Spirit Qi Infusion, Li Zhirui also realized something was wrong; the Cave Heaven within him had not completed its upgrade, needing large amounts of Mana to stabilize!

As all the Spiritual Energy was absorbed, the devouring momentum didn’t disappear but instead became more frantic, an unfulfilled negative emotion evolving.

Li Zhirui, with a thought, could only control the Cave Heaven to continue wildly absorbing the Spiritual Energy in the space. What’s obvious is that the space once thickly surrounded by Spirit Mist now appeared very thin, so thin one might not even notice its presence unless looked at carefully.

At the same time, he sensed the Spiritual Energy from the outside flowing towards him and instantly understood that his clansmen were helping him, without hesitation, operating cultivation techniques, frantically absorbing the Spiritual Energy to elevate his cultivation.

Fortunately, both Mount Wanxian and the space were rich in Spiritual Energy, otherwise, Li Zhirui’s and the Cave Heaven’s simultaneous breakthrough couldn’t have been supported!

Time passed little by little until dawn the next day, as the first Sun rose, Li Zhirui, sitting cross-legged for several hours, finally opened his eyes.

Boom!

Instantly, a mighty and terrifying power exploded from his body, sweeping around like crashing waves.

Li Zhixuan’s face changed slightly, without hesitation she raised the Mysterious Sword to block this pressure.

The clansmen behind her were unharmed, but those in other directions, whose cultivation was insufficient, were all pressed down, awkwardly lying prone on the ground.

’Jiu just broke through, and his power is already this formidable?’ Li Zhixuan thought to herself, eyes burning with fighting spirit, eager to spar with Li Zhirui to see whose strength was superior.

"Thank you all for your hard work!"

Li Zhirui’s voice, as refreshing as a spring breeze, reached the ears of every clan member, saying, "I couldn’t control my pressure for a moment, causing trouble for you. Consider this my apology gift."

As he finished speaking, a gentle drizzle fell, entering the bodies of all clan members outside, a warmth spreading within them.

"Eliminating fatigue, healing injuries, dispelling hidden dangers, removing impurities..."

Li Zhixuan closed her eyes, feeling the power of the drizzle within her body, murmuring, "This is almost equivalent to a collective cleansing of the meridians and purging of the marrow!"

Just with this alone, the clan members’ future cultivation paths would improve a notch!

Don’t underestimate this seemingly insignificant improvement; perhaps it was exactly this bit that could help a clan member break through a bottleneck, extending their lifespan.
