Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan-Chapter 394 - 400: Siege

Li Zhirui was still unaware that the death of the Flood Dragon had incited the furious wrath of an ancestor at the Divine Transformation stage.

He was now desperately working to recover his mana and Divine Sense, so he could exert all his strength to slay more Devil Beasts, hoping to complete the fifth layer of the stone tower trial.

With the aid of various Spirit Pills, Li Zhirui quickly recovered.

"Now it's time to find those Devil Beasts!" A sharp light flashed in Li Zhirui's eyes as he strode towards the outside of the house.

"Senior, have you come out?" Liu Sihe, who had been standing guard outside the door, quickly stepped forward with a respectfully ingratiating smile.

Li Zhirui nodded and asked, "Hmm, is there something you need?"

Liu Sihe was suddenly at a loss for words, unsure of how to respond.

Li Zhirui, however, had already noticed some clues; it was nothing more than inquiring when he would leave.

"I shall set out for the Sea of Myriad Devils now, as for the Liu Family Village..."

Li Zhirui suddenly hesitated. He had saved these people because the trial demanded it.

And now, if he went to trouble the Devil Race, his death would be nothing more than a trial failure.

No! It wouldn't even count as a failure, at most an early withdrawal from the trial.

But for these people of Liu Family Village...

External rumors suggested that the trials within the stone tower were all Illusionary Realms, false in nature, but through his numerous interactions with them, Li Zhirui always felt that they were not the ephemeral illusions of the trial but living, breathing human Cultivators.

Therefore, once Li Zhirui went to trouble the Devil Race, and if he "died" and exited the trial, those nearby Cultivators' fates would likely be miserably grim.

Seeing Li Zhirui hesitate, Liu Sihe stole a glance at him, confused.

"After I leave, be extra cautious. If possible, it's still best to depart from this area quickly and find a place to live where the human race's forces are strong enough to contend with the Devil Race," he advised.

After speaking, Li Zhirui stepped past Liu Sihe and walked briskly towards the outside world.

And in the spot where he had been standing, several third-grade Spirit Talismans floated in the air.

What Li Zhirui didn't know was that as soon as he left, the entire aura around Liu Sihe underwent a dramatic transformation.

Picking up the Spirit Talismans, he smiled and said, "This child has a kind heart and a firm Dao. His methods are good and his strength can be considered top-notch among peers."

Suddenly, another person appeared beside him, nodding in agreement, "Senior brother is absolutely right. After this, he should be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage within five years."

"Only, there are aspects of him that even I cannot see through."

"It seems he must hold some great opportunities. We don't yet know his identity in the outside world, but perhaps after his Ascension, we could recruit him into our sect," the Liu Sihe imposter said with a smile.

"Does senior brother regard this person so highly?" A hint of surprise flickered in the eyes of the other person.

The imposter Liu Sihe didn't elaborate, simply saying, "Let's just wait and see."

However, as the two conversed, a tremendous change occurred in the third-grade Spirit Talismans, their runes becoming more complex and mysterious.

The space, too, suddenly tore open a crack, and the Spirit Talismans, along with the two people, disappeared without a trace.

——

At this moment, Li Zhirui had already reached the very outskirts of the Sea of Myriad Devils.

"I wonder how many Devil Beasts have gathered here, the Devil Qi is so shockingly terrifying!" In Li Zhirui's eyes, the oppressive black Devil Qi spread all around, forming dense layers of dark clouds, giving him a suffocating feeling of breathlessness.

If this had been reality, Li Zhirui might have been afraid; after all, in such a dangerous place, once he entered, he feared it would be a one-way trip to death.

But this was within the trial's Illusionary Realm; so-called death was merely the end of the trial. What then did he have to fear?

Exhaling a breath of turbid air, Li Zhirui completely concealed his aura and cautiously flew towards the Sea of Myriad Devils.

The outskirts were mostly low-rank Devil Beasts, and Li Zhirui wasn't interested in them. After all, no matter how many he killed, it might not compare to a single third-rank Devil Beast.

So, he planned to first infiltrate covertly, and then do his utmost to kill as many third-order Devil Beasts as possible.

As for whether he could pass the fifth trial, Li Zhirui was not entirely sure.

After all, third-order Devil Beasts are not any mere ants that can be easily wiped out by the hundreds or thousands.

Even though Li Zhirui was very confident in his own strength, he did not dare to be too careless when facing third-order Devil Beasts.

However, what he did not expect was that his luck would be so bad that he was spotted by a third-order Devil Beast just after sneaking into the central region.

"Who's there!"

"Stop skulking around and come out!" Several attacks, accompanied by a roar, cut through the sky and assailed Li Zhirui.

"Boom boom boom!"

A series of violent explosions erupted around Li Zhirui.

Li Zhirui's expression changed slightly; the Devil Beasts were too fast, and he was somewhat unable to react in time, hastily activating a few defense Spirit Talismans.

However, he did not notice that among these talismans, one's runes were exceptionally intricate and mysterious.

Spirit Light dazzled, holding Li Zhirui upside down within it, firmly sheltering him.

Several attacks landed on it, yet they did not stir up even a ripple.

"This..."

"Impossible!"

The Devils exclaimed in shock, their large eyes filled with disbelief.

"Quick, go invite the great kings to come!"

Fortunately, someone quickly came to their senses and shouted urgently.

Not just them, even Li Zhirui was stunned, muttering to himself, "The Spirit Talisman made by Uncle is so powerful?!"

Fortunately, he was only shocked for a moment and quickly came to his senses, his body surging with Mana, and numerous Spirit Light Flood Dragons, dozens of feet long, swiftly attacked the Devil Beasts.

"Be careful!"

Sadly, this warning was still too late!

Many Devil Beasts were sent flying, but fortunately, they were tough-skinned and resilient, and Li Zhirui's attacks were rushed and did not reach their full power.

So, although the Devil Beasts looked miserable, they were not seriously hurt.

"You're courting death!"

The Devil Beasts were furious, with black water and thunder flying chaotically, but their target was only Li Zhirui.

Unfortunately, their attacks were trivial before that mysterious Spirit Talisman and could not shatter it despite numerous attempts.

Seeing this, Li Zhirui was overjoyed, only keeping a part of his attention on the condition of the Spirit Talisman, and then launched a full-on attack against the Devil Beasts.

This battle left the Devil Beasts feeling extremely frustrated; they had never anticipated that so many of them together could not break through their opponent's defense.

However, the commotion from everyone's fighting was too great and quickly attracted the attention of nearby members of the Devil Race.

Li Zhirui also noticed this, but instead of worry, he felt a surge of excitement!

Initially, he intended to quickly take down a few Devil Beasts to avoid getting surrounded, but after thinking it through, he had a realization.

If his initial plan was to kill more Devil Beasts, then the more Devil Beasts attracted to him, the more he could eliminate in one go, right?

"Hahahaha, surrender now! I can make your death an easy one!" A Flood Dragon, seeing Li Zhirui surrounded by a multitude of Devil Beasts, laughed maniacally.

He would absolutely not let this detestable Cultivator go! Without his death, the dragon would struggle to quell the rage in his heart!
