Chapter 1086: Chapter 1080: Zhao Guang History
“….”
Perfected Qinghe immediately saw through Wenren Jiuyue’s suspicion.
He was suffering in silence, truly unable to defend himself.
He coldly snorted, “Let the two of us take down these two people first.”
Wenren Jiuyue didn’t dare to be slow, also utilizing his true abilities.
Nun Dairou had committed sins.
The Crown Prince’s death must fall on her shoulders, which required her death so she couldn’t testify otherwise.
As for the Nirvana Sage Elder, at the Dao Integration realm, even if they couldn’t keep him within the dynasty’s borders, they had to make him never dare to enter the dynasty again.
At this moment, three Body Integration experts fought, and numerous Void Refinement cultivators held the line, each displaying their divine abilities.
The Li family members still remained unmoving; Li Wei was looking for an opportunity.
“Has Zhao Guang gone mad?”
Seeing Zhao Guang’s abnormal behavior, Li Yunbing raised an eyebrow.
As the Prefecture Lord, he occasionally came into contact with people from the imperial court.
He knew of this Zhao Guang. Holding a high position in the Department of Immortal Suppression, he was also a huge slippery eel, willing to do anything to extend his lifespan.
His desperate fight against the Nirvana Sage Elder now quite surprised Li Yunbing.
Li Changyao, while toying with her bow and arrows, said, “Few people in Shadowfell Prefecture hate the Wu tribe more than Zhao Guang.”
“Oh?” Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Li Changyao controlled the intelligence of the Heavenly Principle Hall.
Although the Heavenly Principle Hall hadn’t infiltrated the internal operations of the Department of Immortal Suppression, they could still find information that wasn’t strictly classified.
She explained, “Back before the dynasty was even formed, when the world was in chaos, Zhao Guang was a genius of a minor Nascent Soul immortal clan.”
“The Wu tribesmen came and breached the city where their immortal clan was located.”
“The Wu tribe entered Zhao Guang’s clan territory and enslaved his clansmen for a hundred years.
Three hundred and twenty thousand people were treated like pigs and dogs. The clan was annihilated, and he alone survived.”
“…”
The Li family members fell silent for a long time.
No wonder Zhao Guang was so insane.
“Later, he cultivated, became a Divinity Transformation expert, and served the Human Emperor.”
Li Changyao smiled bitterly.
“When he finally had the ability and wanted to take revenge, the Wu tribesmen who annihilated his family had already been killed off by other cultivators.”
Li Wei frowned. If it were him, having such a massive blood feud and being unable to personally slay his enemies, he would probably go mad.
He saw Nun Dairou’s Buddhist light shining over.
Buddhism speaks of laying down the butcher’s knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot.
To Li Wei, that was complete nonsense.
Such a blood feud is like a knot in the heart; unless one personally sees the opponent’s blood, that knot can never be untied in a lifetime.
It was nothing more than making excuses for inner cowardice.
Amidst his thoughts.
The Nirvana Sage Elder’s heavy voice was heard.
“I only want Fei Heng’s corpse. One corpse in exchange for the retreat of my Divine Bird Totem’s troops!”
But unexpectedly, Wenren Jiuyue was not a coward either. His words also shocked the Nirvana Sage Elder.
“Retreat? Your Wu tribe and the Demon Race have bullied my dynasty for years. Now that centuries have passed, do you really think my human race is cowardly?
Let alone retreating, sooner or later we will march right to your Divine Bird Totem!” Wenren Jiuyue sneered incessantly.
“What do you mean?” The Nirvana Sage Elder’s expression turned cold.
“If you can escape Shadowfell Prefecture, then you can figure it out for yourself!” Wenren Jiuyue snorted coldly.
This finally ignited the Nirvana Sage Elder’s true fury.
As the three great Body Integration experts fought, even the shockwaves affected Li Wei’s side.
While using mirror surfaces to block the shockwaves and having the clan members take medicine to recover their Spiritual power, Li Wei observed the situation on the battlefield.
Nun Dairou had already utilized both Buddhist and Daoist arts.
This demoness was in the most miserable state; everyone wanted to kill her.
Even the Nirvana Sage Elder, who came to assist, was merely using her to deal with his enemies.
What was worse was that she couldn’t escape even if she tried.
The vertical eye of Zhao Guang was a special divine ability that annihilated all things. And Zhao Guang’s Dao was a highly destructive Dao.
Wenren Jiuyue’s Dao appeared to be the Dao of ‘Fire,’ but Li Wei faintly sensed that the flames Wenren Jiuyue emitted were no different from illusions, yet they could cause the same damage as raging flames.
Unfortunately, the Nirvana Sage Elder incinerated all things.
His Dao of Fire was the true Dao of Fire, and also the most basic and fundamental Dao path among the Five Elements.
Yet, it was precisely these simple Dao paths that were the most formidable.
“The more basic the Dao path, the easier it is to develop other Daoist techniques, encompassing various laws within the same Dao path.”
Li Wei understood.
“This is the advantage of the Wu tribe. Their lifespans are vastly longer than our human race’s.
Over the long years, they occupied the most primal Dao paths early on, which makes it incredibly difficult for the human race to break through to Body Integration.”
“Which means…”
Li Wei frowned slightly and looked at Li Yaoqing.
Li Yaoqing had no choice; her Dao was the purest Dao of ‘Wood.’
The most important condition for breaking through to the seventh layer of the “Divine Arts” was to break through the Dao of Wood, and the only way was to kill the opponent.
On the contrary, breaking through wasn’t difficult for that kid Li Yunlin.
Li Yunlin, the Supreme Elder of the Skyveil Sect, the young Daoist who usually possessed a transcendent, immortal-like appearance, currently lacked his usual public demeanor.
“Second Aunt!”
The Nirvana Sage Elder mobilized Heavenly Fire.
Using some unknown Daoist technique, the Body Integration Dao fire transformed into nine Heavenly Dragons with fire pearls in their mouths.
Having also noticed Li Yaoqing waving the ‘Primordial Azure Jade Bamboo’ to heal the numerous Daoist friends, he attacked Li Yaoqing.
Even though the three Body Integration experts blocked a massive amount of Spiritual power, some Spiritual power still made its way toward her.
Li Wei was about to rescue Li Yaoqing.
But Li Yunlin was faster!
The Skyveil Hall broke, shattering into pieces, then fusing around Li Yunlin’s body.
His entire body turned black like a starry sky, and a great halberd fell into his hands.
Slashing out a panicked halberd strike, he actually converged twelve types of laws into a single move, breaking the technique and saving her!
“Good kid.” Li Yaozu’s gaze was gratified.
“This is… High Ancestor’s strength?”
This was Li Xinnian’s first time seeing Li Yunlin use the strength of the Skyveil Hall; his eyes filled with shock.
Previously, Li Yunlin had only used Daoist techniques. Now, with the Skyveil Hall entering his body, his aura climbed steadily.
Twelve types of laws in a single halberd strike—a single sweep was like a galaxy tearing through the void!
Seeing the surprise of the clan members, Li Wei simply smiled faintly. Within the family, only Li Wei knew Li Yunlin’s strength best.
[Tier-4 Spiritual Item – Skyveil Hall: Possesses one hundred and eighty-two types of spiritual item laws.]
[Your descendant Li Yunlin, through years of comprehension, has observed and understood the laws within the Skyveil Hall, comprehending the Void Refinement technique: Galaxy Cleave.
The longer power is accumulated, the more laws can be applied to the Heavenly Retribution Halberd, increasing its attack power.]
This was the panicked halberd strike Li Yunlin had just unleashed, yet it was already capable of breaking apart the shockwaves of a Dao Integration realm technique!
As far as Li Wei knew, Li Yunlin had experimented; he could fuse the Spiritual power of up to ninety-six types of law spiritual items.
That halberd strike had not yet cleaved anyone.
[Your descendant Li Yunlin, through the clan’s spiritual medicines, broke through to the peak of the Void Refinement realm. At the old cat’s suggestion, he is attempting to break through to the Body Integration realm one law at a time.]
The more spiritual items the Skyveil Hall possessed, the more formidable this thing became.
As this halberd struck out, the expressions of everyone on the battlefield changed.
“This strike…”
The long halberd unleashed the Galaxy Cleave. This strike tore through the Daoist technique and still charged at the Nirvana Sage Elder.
The convergence of the power of twelve laws forced even a Body Integration expert to pay a little attention.
The Heavenly Fire in front of the Nirvana Sage Elder transformed into a lion, swallowing Li Yunlin’s Spiritual power in one bite.
The Nirvana Sage Elder frowned, looking at Li Yunlin.
The maddened Zhao Guang also cast a sidelong glance.
He felt that although Li Yunlin hadn’t comprehended any particular law to its limit, with the ‘Heavenly Retribution’ technique transforming the Skyveil Hall into the Heavenly Retribution Battle Armor and Heavenly Retribution Halberd, Li Yunlin’s Spiritual power was already as strong as a Half-Step Body Integration expert!
“What kind of monster does one have to be to comprehend so many laws alone?”
The corners of Zhao Guang’s mouth twitched. “This child’s aptitude for Body Integration is already a foregone conclusion.”
As he spoke, he took an extra look at Li Yaoqing. The Li family had many monsters.
It wasn’t that Li Yaoqing lacked the aptitude for Body Integration; Li Yaoqing’s medical arts were also quite helpful to him. It was just a pity that the path of Wood Spirits had been cut off long ago.
He immediately shook his head and continued to charge at the Nirvana Sage Elder, vowing to slay this old thing right here.
“This won’t do.”
In front of the phoenix totem, the flaming giants, and the hundreds of fire pillars falling from the void summoned by his Dao of Fire, the Nirvana Sage Elder looked around.
He had already been fighting these people for two days, yet he found it increasingly troublesome.
Everyone knew that Zhao Guang’s lifespan was nearing its end; he was clearly fighting with complete disregard for his life.
Coupled with Li Yaoqing’s medical arts and the numerous Void Refinement cultivators holding the line, he had only found a single opening and killed one of the opposing Void Refinement cultivators.
“The longer this drags on, the harder it will become. Sooner or later, I will fall into a decline. If other human cultivators come to assist…”
The Nirvana Sage Elder took a deep breath.
His divine sense looked toward the distant, toward the resting Azure Cloud Li Clan members, lingering especially long on the black mist figure.
“It’s this person again! Crown Prince Fei Heng’s body is with them.”
He suddenly remembered how, at the Shadowfell Prefecture border back then, Li Wei had used spatial laws to kill the ancient tree of his tribe right in front of him.
Instantly, a ruthless intent surged in his heart.
He unleashed all his Daoist techniques, repelling the cultivators in all directions with the force of a prairie fire.
Meanwhile, he had already appeared within a cluster of Heavenly Fire closest to the Azure Cloud Li Clan members.
The Divine Bird Totem transformed into a phoenix and entered his body; this old man transformed into a phoenix and charged at them!
The fire phoenix cried out. This sudden, violent, murderous move caused the expressions of everyone present to change.
“Oh no!” Zhao Guang’s expression turned ugly.
The power of annihilation tore open the void ahead, and he took a step in, rushing in the opposite direction to rescue the Azure Cloud Li Clan members.
However, the speed of the Nirvana Sage Elder’s phoenix body and the thickness of his pressure meant that everything was too late.
Perfected Qinghe even cried out in alarm, “Oh no, the Crown Prince’s corpse is with the Li Clan, and the old thing has noticed!”
“What?!!”
Wenren Jiuyue was stunned. His Dao of Fire had already clung to the fire phoenix like maggots on a bone, but it could only slightly slow down the fire phoenix’s speed, leaving Wenren Jiuyue pale.
He had clearly used his ultimate trump cards, yet unfortunately, it was fundamentally incapable of affecting the most primal Great Dao of Fire.
“If you won’t hand over Fei Heng, I’ll take him myself!”
The fire phoenix’s eyes were filled with chilling coldness as it stared fixedly at Li Wei.
“You killed the ancient tree of my tribe that day; today is your karmic retribution!”
But its eyes suddenly froze. Mirror surfaces formed by spatial laws appeared one after another in front of the Li Clan members.
The Li Clan members, who were just resting and seemingly completely unprepared, actually summoned their Dharma Treasures in an instant and stared at him in unison.
Another rift tore open in the void, landing right behind the Li Clan members, exuding the aura of a corpse filled with decay and a mishmash of laws.
Eight figures split from this person’s body, utilizing eight types of Daoist techniques to block the front of the Li Clan members.
“Impossible…” The Nirvana Sage Elder, transformed into a fire phoenix, felt utter disbelief in his heart.
Even Perfected Qinghe, who was coming from behind to rescue them, fell into a momentary sluggishness due to the aura of this stranger.
With an ugly expression, he murmured, “No, I saw Fei Heng die with my own eyes. This is not Fei Heng. But… how can their Dao be exactly the same?!!”
The Huan Gui!
At this moment.
Li Wei summoned his twin spears.
As Huan Gui’s Spiritual power clashed with the Nirvana Sage Elder’s Spiritual power, his own law’s Spiritual power was unleashed, actually advancing alongside the Spiritual power of his descendants behind him, staring into the Nirvana Sage Elder’s eyes.
Techniques were fired simultaneously, using spatial and time laws together.
In an instant, everyone on the Li Clan’s side used all of their strength.
Accompanied by the eruption of techniques, Li Wei’s voice resounded beside the Nirvana Sage Elder’s ears.
“Old thing, did you think that after so many years, it would still be like it was at the Shadowfell Prefecture border back then?”
