Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan-Chapter 783 - 789: Clash

They targeted Li Zhirui specifically after investigating his identity and learning that he arrived in The Void alone, and moreover, as an Alchemist, he surely had his fair share of valuable possessions on hand.

Being of average strength and without cultivators to protect each other, yet carrying wealth, it wasn’t surprising at all that Li Zhirui was marked.

The Great Devil summoned a gusty wind with a wave of his hand, sharp Wind Blades howling as they attacked the Formation.

Seeing this, the Demon Cultivator hastily made a move, summoning countless black insects that swarmed over like a dark cloud, settling on the Formation and beginning to gnaw at it.

Li Zhirui’s heart grew heavy. As a newly advanced Divine Transformation cultivator, the Laws he controlled were not battle-oriented. Facing two opponents, his chances of defeat were extremely high!

He had just taken a quick glance at the outside world and saw that although there were some cultivators nearby, they either had a Demon Cultivator or a Great Devil by their side, none able to lend a hand.

Vaguely, Li Zhirui also saw a layer of black gauze covering the vicinity.

At a glance, it was clear that the Devil Race and Demon Cultivators had colluded, planning to make an example out of Li Zhirui! Given his common background, even if they killed him, it wouldn’t lead to any serious trouble.

But to expect Li Zhirui to simply bow his head, concede, and be captured without a fight, that was absolutely impossible!

Even if it meant risking his life, he would never let this devil and demon have their way!

Li Zhirui’s fingertips emitted a glimmer of white light, transforming into a flame that flew towards the swarm of black insects. Upon contact, a hissing sound followed, and the insects turned into wisps of black smoke that drifted away.

Those black insects, bred from filthy substances, were precisely countered by the Purification Principle that Li Zhirui had mastered, allowing him to effortlessly eradicate them.

As for the sharp gusts of wind triggered by the Great Devil, Li Zhirui couldn’t deal with them so easily.

As he rapidly cast his spells, rank four vines shot up from the ground, layer upon layer, instantly transforming the surroundings into a dense forest, and then in a flash, the vines bloomed with dozens of lantern-like red flowers.

"Explode!"

At Li Zhirui’s command, tens of thousands of red flowers detonated, terrifying energy surged in every direction, devouring everything in its path.

Li Zhirui had not used these devastatingly powerful Explosive Vines for many years, as his combat ability while in the Nascent Soul Realm was not weak.

But now, if he didn’t surprise these two underestimating fiends, attempting to injure them to gain some advantage, once they became wary, Li Zhirui’s fate would likely be sealed.

Besides, there was another reason for Li Zhirui creating such a commotion: he wanted to draw over other cultivators, preferably those from high levels.

As long as this goal was achieved, Li Zhirui’s safety would be sufficiently guaranteed!

And he did see that the layer of black gauze had been lifted by the explosive blast!

"Damn it!"

"You’re courting death!"

In the midst of dust and smoke, two figures who appeared somewhat disheveled, but not seriously injured, burst out in a furious roar.

Clearly, Li Zhirui had completely enraged them, and they had also realized his intent.

Therefore, the two of them planned to end the battle quickly, to kill Li Zhirui before other cultivators arrived!

In doing so, unless the human race was willing to fall out with the Demon Cultivators and the Devil Race, they would not be subject to severe punishment.

"What’s going on? What happened?"

"Who dares to make a move within the Ninefold Celestial Palace!"

Upon hearing the commotion, the distant cultivators immediately hastened over.

"You have quite the nerve!"

Those on the higher echelons had also noticed and, with a sweep of their Divine Senses, saw Li Zhirui struggling to hold on under the joint assault of a demon cultivator and a devil.

Li Zhirui’s attacks hadn’t caused too much damage to the two attackers, but they disrupted their plans and completely infuriated them. Consequently, they were both attacking with full force, eager to suppress him quickly.

Unfortunately for them, this Sky Palace was ultimately the territory of cultivators!

The owner of the Magical Treasure, with a mere thought, caused a black hole to appear at their location, transporting them right before themselves.

If the Cloud Palace was described as resplendent and dazzlingly magnificent, then the Sky Palace was intricate and full of cunning mechanisms, where the controller could transport someone to any place at any time.

"You have quite the nerve! To dare attack cultivators, do you really think we fear you?"

"Go back and tell those behind you to behave themselves, otherwise, don’t blame us for being cruel and ruthless, and for not giving you face!"

After speaking, the Great Devil disappeared once again.

"After all, demon cultivators are of the human race. If you truly dare to collude with the Devil Race and betray the racial oaths of the human race, be careful of impending doom!"

The so-called racial oaths of the human race, it is said, date back to ancient times when the Devil Race discovered humans to be excellent cultivation resources, dramatically speeding up their cultivation, thus they began to massacre them in vast numbers, at a time when the human race was not yet ascendant or powerful.

In that era, countless millions of the human race died at the hands of the Devil Race, serving as their cultivation resources, enabling the already powerful devils to grow even stronger.

It is said that during the brutal massacre by the Devil Race, the human race almost faced complete annihilation, with the population dwindling to a mere few hundred thousand at its lowest point!

The Devil Race knew about sustainable development and did not plan to drain the pond to get all the fish. They had actually started farming a group of humans early on. However, these people, from birth, were raised as food, ignorant like beasts, and could not truly be called human.

Had it not been for a sudden outbreak of internal strife within the Devil Race, which provided a slim chance of survival for the human race, allowing those last few hundred thousand to live on, the human race might well have been wiped out completely! freewebnøvel.coɱ

It was also at that time that the ancestors of the human race swore an oath with their own blood, declaring the Devil Race the mortal enemy of the human race, not to be allied or cooperate with under any circumstances, or else be expunged from the human race and purged!

It is said that some sort of calamity would befall the oath breaker, but whether this is true or not, there are various opinions.

That being said!

After warning the demon cultivator, they transferred him to the territory of the demon cultivators.

Seeing the imposing demon cultivator and Great Devil vanish, Li Zhirui instantly understood that someone had intervened and bowed towards the central hall, saying, "Thank you, senior, for lending a hand!"

The nearby demon cultivators and members of the Devil Race, seeing this, dared not linger any longer and scattered.

The unbridgeable gap between the human race and the Devil Race meant that demon cultivators could never truly cooperate with the devils. Thus, in the face of the most powerful cultivators, they could only face the situation alone, with no choice but to concede.

Phew!

Li Zhirui felt so exhausted he nearly collapsed, carefully sitting down on the cushion again, involuntarily expelling a breath of foul air.

Though the great battle didn’t last long, it had greatly drained him, especially since he had not yet fully recovered from his injuries.

The only consolation was that his injuries had not worsened and he would be fully healed in another month or two.

"What rotten luck!"

Just thinking of that devil and demon cultivator, Li Zhirui felt a surge of irritation in his heart.

They probably wouldn’t let the matter rest!

Although they didn’t dare continue making a move within the Sky Palace, once they were back in the Profound Origin Realm, they would have no such scruples!
