Chapter 1418: Chapter 1178: Turbulence

Seeing Li Zhirui fighting so desperately, the Demon Cultivator’s eyes couldn’t help but flash with a trace of admiration and appreciation, but what followed was a strong intent to kill!

Such a character, if not dealt with before he fully grows, will surely become a great threat in the future.

Especially since his actions today have severely threatened Li Zhirui’s life, becoming his mortal enemy.

So, despite the admiration, he didn’t hold back and continued to increase the Mana input, wanting to end the battle quickly.

“How can I die here!”

Li Zhirui gritted his teeth and roared, frantically exhausting himself. The Minor Thousand World within him was also in turmoil because of him. The incomplete world began to experience various catastrophes due to his excessive extraction of Spiritual Energy.

Fortunately, the Five Viscera Gods he cultivated, stationed most of the time in the Minor Thousand World, aimed to perfect the Five Elements Laws, could now help suppress heaven and earth, preventing further deterioration.

“Give up, you should know how great the gap of a major Realm is. There’s no need to persist so bitterly. Give up sooner for relief sooner.” The voice of the Demon Cultivator was like the Heavenly Demon’s Sound, constantly knocking on Li Zhirui’s mind, trying to make him show a flaw.

“Ahaa!”

Li Zhirui let out a roar, a dazzling pure white Spirit Light burst from his body, he cut off his five senses to the outside world, fully focused on dealing with the unstoppable attack.

“Hmph! Stubborn fool!” The Demon Cultivator snorted coldly, his face increasingly unsightly.

Originally, he thought that dealing with an Individual Immortal Cultivator would be as easy as pie, without any accident, but the opponent’s strength far exceeded his expectations and was extremely tenacious.

With his insight, how could he not see that Li Zhirui had already pushed himself to the brink? At this rate, within moments, he would collapse completely.

Literally collapse into a puddle of flesh and blood!

But this result was not what the Demon Cultivator wanted to see. Not to mention that as a Human Immortal, it was so difficult to solve an Individual Immortal, which was indeed embarrassing, and he also wanted to capture a complete corpse to refine a perfect Yin Corpse.

But now Li Zhirui’s situation was very bad, his entire body was oozing threads of blood, his meridians were wailing and breaking, his Dantian was already dim and dark, the world within him was in constant disaster, even the Five Elements Immortal Root was slowly losing leaves.

“Ha ha ha ha…”

Just as he prepared to further increase his Mana to capture Li Zhirui in one go, he suddenly burst into a fit of wild laughter.

“Finally succeeded!”

These almost soundless murmurs were uttered, and in the next moment, the large figure disappeared into thin air.

The Demon Cultivator’s pupils dilated sharply, full of disbelief, “How is this possible!”

Divine Sense exploded entirely, frantically expanding outward, but even when he ‘viewed’ a hundred miles away, he couldn’t find Li Zhirui’s figure.

“Impossible! How can there be Divine Power, Secret Techniques without the slightest fluctuation of Spiritual Energy?”

Soon he realized that Li Zhirui was definitely hiding an enormous secret, a strong sense of regret swept over his whole body.

But what use was regret? The person had already disappeared, even if he dug three feet around, overturned land and sky, he couldn’t find Li Zhirui.

And at this moment, Li Zhirui had already fainted in space. In the last moment before coma, with a sliver of power, he activated his Cultivation Technique, absorbing Spiritual Energy from space to heal.

…

“What? You failed?”

The Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Corpses Sect exclaimed incredulously.

The Demon Cultivator had searched back and forth around the area for several hours but found no trace of Li Zhirui, forced to return to the Sect, and report the matter.

“You didn’t deliberately let him go, did you?” A Demon Cultivator Elder couldn’t help but speak.

Otherwise, how could an Individual Immortal escape from the grasp of a Human Immortal?

It wasn’t just him, many Elders present had the same thought.

“I…”

The Demon Cultivator wanted to defend himself but didn’t know where to start, no matter what, he was extremely embarrassed!

He puffed and blew for a while before saying, “He must be hiding a huge secret. I saw with my own eyes, he just disappeared in place without the slightest Spiritual Energy fluctuation!”

“Really? Is this not an excuse you made up?”

He didn’t want to respond to these words, just stood silently waiting for the Sect Leader to pronounce the final punishment.

Clear rewards and penalties, with severe punishments for big rewards, this was the rule of the entire Demonic Tao.

“Gu, you will spend half a year in Yin Wind Cave as a minor punishment and major warning.”

“Yes.” Hearing this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Yin Wind Cave was naturally not a good place, the continuous Yin Wind not only harmed the body but also the Spiritual Soul. However, if it was only for half a year, after coming out, seclusion for some time would suffice.

After he left, a certain Elder discontentedly said, “Sect Leader, do you really believe in his completely unreliable words?”

“Or what? Do you really want to employ heavy punishment on Gu?”

Sending a Human Immortal Demon Cultivator to secretly deal with Li Zhirui couldn’t be disclosed publicly, so the punishment naturally couldn’t be too harsh.

And at this moment, Li Zhirui was completely unaware of the outside situation, because he was still in a fainted state!

The dense and pure Spiritual Energy in space slowly entered his body, nourishing the dry Dantian, desolate Divine Sense, healing the nearly collapsed body and ruptured meridians.

This was a very slow process, especially when Li Zhirui hadn’t awakened to actively heal, and it was unknown how long it would take to recover.
