Holding the spear in his hand, Li Wei felt an immense surge of power!
"Hum!"
After shattering Su Yuanwu's spell, the spear trembled, seemingly enraged. It was furious that a weak, insignificant ant dared to offend its majesty as a supreme-grade magical weapon!
It was also as if it urged Li Wei to end the insolent offender's life!
[North Star Spirit-Breaking Spear]
[Supreme-Grade Magical Treasure]
[The spirit spear protects the body, and its tip can break all spells. By taking this treasure as your lifebound weapon, you gain the North Star Spear Formation and can suppress all things in the world with this spear!]
This was the mysterious spear, the supreme-grade magical treasure that Li Dalong had found in the Wild Boar Forest, offered as a sacrifice, above where the Heaven-Piercing Coffin lay buried deep underground!
Even after countless years of accumulation, the restrictions on this spear still required a million incense value to unlock. Only with the power of a supreme-grade magical treasure, combined with the unique properties of the North Star Spirit-Breaking Spear, could the Heaven-Piercing Coffin be continuously suppressed and kept hidden from the world.
This was also the reason why Li Wei, despite being only at the False Core stage, dared to descend into the game world using the skill [Fight, dear ancestor!] and confront a Golden Core cultivator head-on.
Moreover, it was the trump card that had always reassured him about Li Yunlin's safety in the Skyveil Sect!
If it were just a Golden Core cultivator with the North Star Spirit-Breaking Spear in hand, there was nothing to fear.
Just the influx of power from the North Star Spirit-Suppressing Spear had already elevated his strength to the peak of the Golden Core stage!
As for Nascent Soul cultivators? Li Wei wouldn't dare to test his luck. Even though the spear could suppress their spirit power, their physical strength had reached its pinnacle.
Under everyone's gaze, he, a figure shrouded in a dark mist, wielding the North Star Spirit-Suppressing Spear, shot towards Su Yuanwu like a meteor, carrying a terrifying pressure.
Meanwhile, Su Yuanwu continuously launched attacks at Li Wei. However, no matter how powerful his Golden Core spirit power was, no matter what trump cards he possessed, he couldn't even touch Li Wei's true form. He could only watch in horror as his power crumbled before the spear, inch by inch.
"Pfft!"
A streak of blood painted the sky, dripping from the spearhead. Li Wei pressed his hand onto Su Yuanwu's face, and black flames engulfed Su Yuanwu's body, seeping into his seven orifices and destroying his body and soul, leaving no chance for survival.
Instant kill!
"Is this the true strength of our ancestor?!"
"No, I can sense it. This isn't our ancestor's true body at all. Otherwise, why would it be a black mist? It's probably just a tiny fragment of his divine soul!"
"Hiss... With an ancestor like this, what more could we descendants ask for?"
"..."
The Li family descendants were all ecstatic. They had finally witnessed a glimpse of their mysterious ancestor's divine might!
On the other hand, the members of the Su family were devastated, as if they had lost their parents.
Especially Su Jinming, the head of the Su family. He watched in despair as his great-grandfather fell powerlessly from the sky. He still remembered the choice that Li Dalong and his wife had given him in the hall. He had assumed that the Li family's trump card was the Cloudsea Pavilion.
He had guessed wrong and chosen wrong!
He closed his eyes as he saw the Li family ancestor charging towards him. But after a snap of his fingers, the expected death did not come.
Li Wei had passed him by.
His target was not Su Jinming, a mere False Core cultivator. Those like him could be left to the younger members of the family. Besides, as the head of the family, this man had other uses. His target was...
"Run!"
"Split up and run! He has a supreme-grade magical treasure. Even if we join forces, we're no match for him! How could such a heaven-defying treasure appear in this small, insignificant countryside?!"
"Brother, Second Sister, you go first! I'll hold him off. Farewell, until the next life!"
The assassin, codenamed "Human" from the Heaven, Earth, and Human Triad Assassins, was indeed loyal and righteous. Wielding a spear, he didn't flee with the other two.
Instead, he faced Li Wei head-on.
Elder Qiuli was also fleeing!
"Damn it!"
Elder Qiuli watched as the mysterious figure drew closer, swatting away the "Human" assassin's halberd with a single thrust of the spear and impaling him through the chest. He cursed under his breath.
He had helped Li Yunlin with the expectation that once Li Yunlin became the sect leader, he would gain access to sufficient resources and an opportunity to break through to the peak of the Golden Core stage. With careful maneuvering, he might even be able to control the future sect leader.
But now he realized that his thinking had been utterly wrong!
The Li family was not the insignificant Foundation Establishment family they had perceived them to be!
Just look at the Li family; all their cards were on the table.
Various puppets, two puppets possessing the power of early Golden Core cultivators, and then there was that mysterious figure and the supreme-grade magical treasure...
With such strength, let alone him, this family was already impressive enough to catch the attention of the Skyveil Sect. After all, within the Skyveil Sect, there was only one low-grade magical treasure, and it was their most treasured possession!
Especially...
"Pfft!"
While fleeing, Elder Qiuli coughed up a mouthful of blood. "Madmen, a whole family of madmen!"
His face was pale, and he cursed under his breath.
The Li family had long since marked him as a target for elimination. Just now, during his battle with the Triad Assassins, when the two Golden Core puppets appeared, he had felt a surge of joy. But to his surprise, as one of the puppets approached him, it seized an opportunity and attacked him as well!
Elder Qiuli, who had spent his entire life meticulously planning and strategizing, had now fallen victim to two schemes in a single day.
The first was Elder Qiuye's trap, an ambush set to kill him. That was still manageable; he was confident in his ability to escape. In the worst-case scenario, after Li Yunlin's death, he could simply switch his allegiance to Elder Qiuye.
But the second scheme...
It was the Li family's trap. The Li family clearly intended to eliminate everyone, and he was no exception!
"If I can escape, this grudge can be avenged. The Sect Leader and the Grand Elder will definitely be interested in that supreme-grade magical treasure."
Elder Qiuli cast a cold glance at the mysterious figure behind him and at Li Yunlin, who had joined the Li family and turned against his fellow disciples. "As expected, these family disciples, no matter how much you nurture them, they can never be truly loyal!"
"That mysterious person may have a supreme-grade magical treasure, but he can't fully control its Golden Core power. He won't be able to catch me. This is what you Li family brought upon yourselves."
With a dozen talismans empowering his body, Qiuli had never run so fast.
But suddenly, his expression changed again.
The mysterious figure behind him didn't seem to care about his escape at all. The man remained calm, unhurried, his voice indifferent.
"Close the gates, release the Blood Spirit Fruit Tree!"
As the words echoed, Elder Qiuli stared in horror toward the center of the Su family estate.
Li Yaozu of the Li family, a Sword Master, with a hundred flying swords whirling around him, slaughtering the Su family members as he charged toward the heart of their territory.
He held a scroll in his hand and hurled it high into the air.
In an instant, roots and tendrils snaked out from the scroll, followed by a colossal tree nearly twenty meters tall that appeared before everyone's eyes. This bizarre tree seemed to be dancing, its roots, thick trunk, and branches densely covered in runes!
As it danced with frenzied energy in the center of the Su estate, the formations and runes carved into its body erupted with blinding light. Its roots spread throughout the entire Su family compound, and a disc gradually expanded above its crown. It was the object that Li Yunlin had once sent back to the family—
The Eight Directions Formation Disc!
