In just thirty seconds.
With Li Wei's appearance and the killing of the fourth Golden Core cultivator, the scene was already in ruins.
The three Nascent Soul cultivators and the numerous Golden Core cultivators unleashed their full power. The area outside the Skyveil Sect's gates suffered an unexpected disaster. The ground began to sink under the bombardment of their spiritual attacks. Now, all that could be seen were rocks tumbling and dust flying. Soon, the entire sky would be covered in dust and smoke.
The Skyveil Sect had narrowly escaped disaster by activating their sect-protecting formation early on, preserving the mountain gate on the mountain. However, it now looked like a gate perched precariously on a cliff...
"Damn it!"
Within the Yin-Yang Diagram, Long Xuankong couldn't help but curse.
A golden dragon phantom appeared in the sky, mobilizing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, summoning over a hundred bolts of heavenly fire. But... he was now like an elephant trying to swat a fly. Even though he could locate Li Wei, he couldn't land a hit on him.
He wasn't the only one.
Abbot Wuyou chanted Buddhist sutras, his Buddha's golden body reciting alongside him. This could influence people's minds, even potentially converting Foundation Establishment cultivators directly to Buddhism. But that black mist was still darting around within the Yin-Yang Diagram.
Thud!
Another crisp sound rang out, and another Golden Core expert was slain!
"Amitabha," Master Wuyou chanted. "Fellow benefactors, the weapon wielded by this Li family fiend is strange. It can break through all Dharma! And that silver coffin is protecting his mind." Abbot Wuyou suddenly seemed preoccupied.
"A high-grade magical treasure!"
Xuan Tianzi stared at Li Wei's spear. She knew that neither Abbot Wuyou nor Long Xuankong had used their full strength. Compared to their apprehension, Xuan Tianzi felt more greed. "What are you still waiting for?" she demanded.
"It doesn't matter how the Li family obtained that high-grade magical treasure, whether they're a branch of some powerful family from elsewhere, or what other tricks they have up their sleeves. We've reached this point with the Li family; there's no turning back now."
"This person's origins are unknown. Kill him first, and we'll deal with the consequences later!"
Upon hearing these words, both Abbot Wuyou and Long Xuankong nodded in agreement.
In an instant, these individuals unleashed their full power, each revealing some of their hidden trump cards!
"So, they're finally going all out."
Observing their increasingly formidable power converging within the Yin-Yang Diagram, Li Wei remained calm.
He continued to use "Heaven, Earth, and Human" to evade their attacks, and with the power of the "Five Elements of Heaven and Earth," he formed a pentagram formation to trap the numerous Golden Core cultivators, killing another unlucky one.
It appeared as if he were toying with these three Nascent Soul experts, but Li Wei also knew deep down that he was like an ant before them!
The three Nascent Soul cultivators began to coordinate their attacks.
"Golden Dragon Descends, the spell is complete!"
As Long Xuankong finished speaking, the golden dragon he had been controlling, attempting to kill Li Wei, roared in the sky. Its scales scattered and spread around the Yin-Yang Diagram, gradually forming walls that enclosed the entire area of the diagram. In an instant, golden light filled the world.
Moreover, it was contracting at an incredible speed!
Even Li Wei's Yin-Yang Diagram shrunk as a result.
Even his Five Elements of Heaven and Earth vanished.
Fortunately, those Golden Core cultivators were also trapped!
"Amitabha, may the evil demons be vanquished!"
Abbot Wuyou's muscles suddenly bulged, ripping his monastic robe apart. His exposed bronze skin was covered in veins!
"BOOM!"
A sonic boom echoed as he, incredibly, appeared at the spot where Li Wei was about to teleport, a fist hurtling towards him.
"Pfft!"
Even though he vanished to another location in an instant, Li Wei was still struck by the aftershocks of that swift punch, coughing up blood!
But he didn't dare hesitate any longer.
"BOOM!"
As expected, he teleported again, but Abbot Wuyou, his eyes now glowing golden, unexpectedly appeared at his new location once more!
"This is insane! His speed has caught up to my teleportation!"
Ignoring his injuries, Li Wei cursed under his breath. He didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, focusing all his attention. He knew that as his movement space shrunk and Abbot Wuyou continued his pursuit, his chances of survival would diminish!
Moreover, in such a short time, he had already consumed a third of his spiritual power!
"There's no escape now."
Xuan Tianzi let out a very sweet and adorable laugh.
This woman, with a bird that appeared out of nowhere, was sitting on the creature's head, her small feet dangling leisurely beneath her long robe. She was charging up her power!
When she unleashed her attack, her formidable spiritual power would likely cover the entire Yin-Yang Diagram, leaving him with no escape.
At this moment, not only Li Wei's expression was extremely grave, but even the numerous Golden Core cultivators trapped alongside him were filled with despair. Watching the techniques of the three Nascent Soul experts, they were nearly scared out of their wits!
"Three seniors, what is the meaning of this?!"
"We're still trapped inside!"
"How is this any different from what demon cultivators do? If we are killed, how will the world judge you?!"
"..."
They realized it; these three Nascent Soul cultivators were going to kill them all!
Under the force of Xuan Tianzi's charged attack, none of them would escape annihilation!
"Amitabha."
Abbot Wuyou hesitated for a moment, then continued his pursuit of Li Wei. Another booming sound echoed, but Li Wei dodged it again. Instead, the attack struck another Golden Core cultivator.
And then... another one!
Previously, Abbot Wuyou would have used his techniques to protect them. But after Xuan Tianzi's speech, what "good and evil will be rewarded," what "compassion and mercy"? Those deceitful words were nothing but empty rhetoric.
The space enveloped by the golden scales was shrinking at a visible pace. Abbot Wuyou's speed was increasing, making it even harder for Li Wei to escape. The oppressive aura of Xuan Tianzi in the sky grew stronger and stronger.
Having lived a comfortable and privileged life for many years, Li Wei had never encountered such a crisis.
But at this moment, he laughed.
He couldn't help but recall the Li family descendants risking their lives time and time again, facing life-or-death crises throughout these seven years.
Even someone as kind as Li Dalong had cast aside his compassion and struck a pregnant woman.
Li Yaoqing risked her identity being exposed to participate in this battle.
Li Yaowen faced thousands of cultivators outside the Azure Cloud Pavilion, unafraid of the danger of the impending tribulation.
And now...
It was time for him, the ancestor, to risk his life!
A cold glint flashed in his eyes. Within this space confined by golden scales, a touch of green emerged.
"You think you've trapped me, but in truth, you've trapped yourselves!"
....
"What is that?!"
Abbot Wuyou, who had been sensing Li Wei's teleportation movements and preparing to attack, unexpectedly froze in place.
Xuan Tianzi, who was manipulating the golden scales to compress the space and preparing a charged attack from the sky, ready to obliterate everything within a ten-mile radius, also changed expression.
Li Wei, who was teleporting...
Suddenly appeared carrying a massive object as he shifted his position again.
It looked like a giant green cylinder with a pointed tip!
"BOOM!"
Dantian fire blazed from Li Wei's body, quickly heating the object until it glowed red hot.
The three Nascent Soul cultivators simultaneously sensed a tremendous surge of energy erupting from that seemingly ordinary object!
Without hesitation, they fled!
"You two, flee! That monster is carrying something too large to utilize his instantaneous movement technique over long distances!" Long Xuankong roared.
Hearing this, Li Wei narrowed his eyes.
They were right. Carrying the missile, Li Wei could only teleport a maximum of two li (about 1 kilometer).
But, the Heaven-Piercing Coffin, which they had been ignoring, opened!
Hands, like blooming flowers, reached out from the opened coffin.
Six figures, their bodies filled with demonic energy, instantly formed a wall of flesh, attempting to block Abbot Wuyou's path. He easily smashed through them, reducing them to ashes, but this still delayed him by at least 0.01 seconds!
Then came a dried corpse, its eyes glowing with black flames, blood flowing from its body.
This was the Blood Frenzy Demon Lord that the Seven Sons had brought out from the Blood Frenzy Demonic Realm. It had lost its sentience and was no different from a zombie.
And Li Dalong was the master of the Heaven-Piercing Coffin, the Coffin Corpse Controler!
The blood of the thirty-odd Golden Core cultivators was completely absorbed by the Heaven-Piercing Coffin and transferred into the body of the Blood Frenzy Demon Lord. This caused it to erupt with the power of a peak Golden Core cultivator. It abruptly charged towards Long Xuankong, who was attempting to retract the golden scales, and then...
It self-destructed!
Finally, there was Li Dalong. He grabbed the coffin lid and charged into the sky, directly confronting Xuan Tianzi!
Li Wei even teleported over and gave Li Dalong a boost with a kick!
Bringing the Heaven-Piercing Coffin had always been part of their plan, and now was the time for it to demonstrate its wondrous effects!
At the same time, Li Wei's dantian fire blazed, and a smile spread across his face.
His body slowly dissipated from its spot.
"BOOM!"
As a blinding light erupted, the sky and earth changed color. Everyone in the Azure Cloud region witnessed a mushroom cloud rising from the direction of the Skyveil Sect.
