Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan
Chapter 907 - 913: The Rascal

Chapter 907: Chapter 913: The Rascal

"Phew, that was close!"

Li Zhirui’s heart raced nonstop, for he had thought that even if the two powerful beings detected his presence, they wouldn’t divert their attention to attack him. But to his surprise, the demon cultivator made a move.

And with that casual strike from the demon cultivator, Li Zhirui felt as though he had seen death itself, utterly lacking the courage to confront it, and could only flee into the spatial retreat.

As to whether this would catch the attention of the two Integration Great Powers, in such a life-or-death moment, where could Li Zhirui afford such considerations?

"It’s been so long, the great battle must have ended by now, right?"

Li Zhirui waited a day and a night within the spatial retreat, spending most of that time dispelling the psychological shadow that dark light had cast upon him.

Unfortunately, Li Zhirui’s physical body had entered the space, not his Spiritual Soul, or else he could have used his body’s position to scout the surroundings with his Spiritual Soul.

However, the threat at that time was such that unless Li Zhirui had a death wish, he wouldn’t have left his physical body outside—he was not prepared to become a Ghost Cultivator after all.

Moreover, despite the existence of Ghost Cultivators, such beings were extremely rare in the desolate Profound Origin Realm. After all, they were considered enemies that needed to be eradicated by cultivators and to demon cultivators, they were excellent materials for crafting magical treasures.

Therefore, the Ghost Cultivators were dwindling, and Li Zhirui did not possess any related cultivation techniques.

After some mental preparation, Li Zhirui cautiously returned to the Void. Seeing the calmness around him, he sighed in relief, but there was also a tinge of disappointment in his heart.

How wonderful it would have been if both had suffered injuries and perished together!

If that were the case, then Li Zhirui would have truly struck it rich.

The Spiritual Objects of two Combined Body Cultivators!

Even if they were the poorest among them, for Li Zhirui, it would have been a tremendous gain!

After all, it is quite common for both Immortal Demons to keep records of their cultivation insights, and even the poorest would at least have one Life-bound Magic Treasure, right?

Although after the fall of the original owner, the prohibitions of the Life-bound Magic Treasure would mostly collapse, and the Spirit Light would dim, causing the grade to plummet, but still! The Spirit Materials used to craft the Magical Treasure, even if refined anew, are invaluable treasures.

Alas, all of this was but a fantasy of Li Zhirui.

Shaking his head, he cleared such unrealistic thoughts and continued on his treasure-hunting journey.

"Hmm?"

But unexpectedly, having traveled for only half a day, he stumbled upon a peculiar cocoon.

Li Zhirui could sense a living creature inside, barely clinging to life, but he could not ascertain exactly what it was, as a thick layer of Chaotic Spiritual Energy wrapped around it, blocking deep probing by his Divine Sense.

"Could it be..."

As if suddenly coming to a realization, Li Zhirui’s pupils dilated and his heart raced uncontrollably.

"One of the two Integration Great Powers?"

As he uttered these words, greed blossomed wildly in the depths of his heart, swiftly engulfing his entire being!

A voice in his mind incessantly clamored, urging Li Zhirui to quickly destroy the gray cocoon.

"Why not give it a try? With the spatial retreat in hand, if any danger arises, I can instantly hide within it."

Convincing himself with these words, Li Zhirui stepped back a distance, clutching five Fourth Order Heavenly Thunder Pellets in his palm, and hurled them ferociously at the cocoon.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

For a moment, Thunder Light was brilliant, transforming into a small square Thunder Pool, where countless bolts of lightning danced, relentlessly tearing at the cocoon.

With a loud bang, the cocoon, formed by Chaotic Spiritual Energy, shattered, revealing a demon cultivator with a weak aura, several gaping wounds still bleeding profusely, and eyes wide with fury, staring venomously at Li Zhirui.

This person was precisely Myriad Snake, who had been pursued and attacked by Chi Feng!

Somehow, he had managed to escape from Chi Feng, who had burned his own life force to forcefully activate his Dharma true form.

But he had paid a tremendous price.

"It’s you again, boy! You’re courting death!" Myriad Snake bellowed furiously, his voice fierce yet tinged with a trace of frailness.

Li Zhirui wasn’t the least bit intimidated. Instead, his eyes flashed with a hint of delight as he smiled, "Senior’s injuries are far worse than I imagined!"

Had it not been the case, Myriad Snake’s first reaction upon seeing him would have been to launch an attack, not to intimidate with a show of force and verbal threats.

"Is that so?"

Myriad Snake’s eyes revealed a touch of coldness as he immediately spurred the scarce amount of mana within his body, transforming it into a spirit snake that seemed eager to devour, and pounced towards Li Zhirui.

But Li Zhirui, who was already on guard, instantly hid in the void and disappeared from sight.

"Dammit!"

Myriad Snake cursed under his breath. No matter how he searched with his divine sense, he couldn’t find the slightest trace of Li Zhirui.

"What kind of nefarious spell is this, to be able to disappear into the void?"

With no other choice, Myriad Snake could only drag his severely wounded and incomplete body, slowly flying towards the distance.

But after only a few steps, another whistling sound came from behind him.

Helplessly, Myriad Snake continued to squeeze out the few strands of mana he had left, easily dispersing the attack; the spirit snake darted forth, aiming straight for Li Zhirui.

But the next instant, Li Zhirui disappeared again right in front of him.

Within the void, Li Zhirui was counting the time, making sure that Myriad Snake wouldn’t leave his field of vision, surfacing every few moments to take a peek.

If Myriad Snake was ready to attack, then he would flee back to safety. But if Myriad Snake was preoccupied with flying forward, Li Zhirui would activate his divine powers, using various talismans and Heavenly Thunder Pellets to hinder him.

Although attacks from divine powers and talismans were diminished in the void, Li Zhirui had no intention of seizing this opportunity to directly kill Myriad Snake.

For he knew that even a heavily wounded Integration Great Power was not someone he could contend with!

All that Li Zhirui was doing was to prevent Myriad Snake from having a chance to heal, aggravating his injuries while the omnipresent chaotic spiritual energy also lent a hand.

If there were ample spiritual energy, even a Combined Body Cultivator at the early stages of Divine Transformation would easily withstand the erosion of the chaotic spiritual energy, but Myriad Snake was currently unable to do so.

"AAAAARGH, I’m going to kill you!"

After more than a dozen sneak attacks and disruptions, Myriad Snake was driven to madness by Li Zhirui’s relentless tactics, howling with a crazed expression.

But this time, Li Zhirui didn’t hide in the void.

Firstly, because Myriad Snake’s mana had been completely drained, and the constant erosion of the chaotic spiritual energy further aggravated his injuries.

Secondly, based on Li Zhirui’s understanding of Demon Cultivators, the more desperate they seemed to fight to the death, the likelier it was that they would attempt to flee!

The reason Chi Feng fell into a trap previously was primarily that he had forced the activation of his Dharma true form and wasn’t quite lucid, allowing Myriad Snake to seize the opportunity to escape.

And this time, Myriad Snake planned to repeat the same trick.

But to his utter surprise, Li Zhirui didn’t fall for it!

Instead, he threw out all the Spirit Vine seeds he had accumulated over the years, using his divine powers to swiftly nurture all Spirit Seeds. Countless Spirit Vines of varying grades instantly grew in the void, forming a dense and tangled forest prison that trapped Myriad Snake within.

Boom!

Li Zhirui’s spell changed. The mana within his body poured out frantically, setting off all the hidden Exploding Spirit Vines amongst the multitude of vines.
