Family Management Game In Immortal Continent Chapter 833 - 828: You Have Been... Targeted
Previously on Family Management Game In Immortal Continent...
Deep within the Immortal Domain.
Upon a monumental heart, countless eyeballs bulged and glared, radiating the suffocating spiritual pressure of the Integration Realm.
Facing it, the colossal Blood Tree manifested its true shape, driving its branches deep into the spines of the Li family members.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The Old Tree, a silent sentinel in the Li family courtyard for centuries, now thrashed its roots against the earth in a frenzy of excitement.
Spiritual power, siphoned from the shadows, surged through its massive limbs and was funneled into the bodies of the Li clan.
At that same moment, root after root erupted from the soil, impaling the suspended corpses of the Zhao clansmen.
These roots grappled with the veins extending from the heart, fighting for control over the blood contained within the dead.
On the Old Tree’s previously withered branches, tender green leaves began to sprout.
The Heaven-Piercing Coffin slammed into the ground.
The silver lid began to turn crimson, the color deepening until the entire coffin was soaked in blood.
Corruption spread from the Heaven-Piercing Coffin into the soil itself; as the lid slid open, an infinite sea of blood expanded across the land, tainting the entire Immortal Domain!
Within the scarlet landscape of the Immortal Domain, the manic voice of the Old Tree echoed loudly.
“Blood! So much blood! My leaves, my hair—it’s all growing back! Hahaha!”
...
“You bastard! How dare you?! How dare you?!”
The Heart erupted in a monstrous fury.
It realized that this tree demon—a mere Divinity Transformation realm creature—was utilizing a mysterious formation to siphon spiritual power from the inhabitants of the Azure Cloud Region beyond the Immortal Domain!
This avaricious Old Tree was trying to consume the blood of the Zhao clan!
Furthermore, that Sea of Blood was also participating in this feast, intent on “dividing the spoils.”
No!
It was even worse than that!
The Li clan members, their spines hooked by branches, drifted limply in the air.
Through the formation, they began to receive the massive influx of external spiritual power, causing their cultivation levels to rise steadily.
Suddenly, a streak of black mist surged out from the Li family’s sword box.
An aura radiated from that mist so terrifying that it made the Zhao Clan Ancestor shudder with dread.
Inside this Immortal Domain, the black mist ignored his oppressive might entirely, ruthlessly tearing through the remains of the Zhao clansmen.
She was exulting!
“It truly is that sort of thing! Hahaha! Marvelous! This is nourishment of heavenly proportions!”
“What is this?!!”
The aura of a Great Demon!
Terror gripped the Zhao Clan Ancestor.
He felt a presence from this demon that was far more horrifying than the beings that had wiped out the Zhao Clan 160,000 years ago.
This entity had already surpassed the constraints of worldly laws; it was an ancient power from the dawn of time, something far beyond his understanding!
“No!”
The Zhao Clan Ancestor felt a wave of panic with every flicker of the black mist.
The Heart—which provided him the power to consume destiny and revive his descendants—was frantically screaming of danger, as if it had met its natural predator!
As if drawn to the feast, more members of the Li clan joined the fray.
Their bodies hovered in the sky, spines pierced by the tree's limbs.
The incoming external Spiritual power created a shield that protected them from the crushing weight of the Integration Realm; they remained so stable that even the Old Tree’s violent trembling couldn't make their hanging bodies waver.
A lone figure was hoisted directly in front of the massive heart.
Gurgle...
The cluster of eyeballs stared intently at Li Yaowen, who had opened her eyes among the Li clansmen.
Her slender fingers continued to dance through the air, and behind her, the other sleeping Li members looked as though they might awaken at any second.
“You are looking for death! Seeking death!!!”
The Zhao Clan Ancestor's roar thundered from the Heart.
He intended to butcher these ants who dared to steal from his blood feast—these idiots who failed to recognize the vastness of heaven and earth!
However.
A seal suddenly appeared in the heavens, carrying the heavy weight of the Mandate of Heaven.
The veins and vessels the Heart lashed out—which seemed lethal as they flew toward the Old Tree and the Li family—turned as weak as cotton the moment they struck.
Instead, the vessels began to leak multi-colored vapors.
The seal absorbed these gases before scattering them in every direction, blanketting the entire Duravia Trade Prefecture.
“How can this be?”
The countless eyes within the giant Heart... were shaking with fear!
“It is pointless.”
Li Yaowen’s clear, innocent eyes gazed down at the Zhao Clan Ancestor.
Her lips moved slightly as she spoke, “Long ago, our Old Ancestor realized you were plundering the Qi Luck of the people in the Duravia Trade Prefecture.
I performed this exact same feat many years ago.
Where the world’s Qi Luck gathers, Spirit Qi follows; and where Spirit Qi is plentiful, all life flourishes without end.”
“You have dedicated your life to devouring Qi Luck; that is the specific function of that heart of yours.
It harvests Qi Luck and turns it into the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth, yet it cannot provide you with a breakthrough.
This is because, regardless of how incredible it is, its only real purpose is the collection of Qi Luck.”
“It is like a farmer working his land.
The seeds, the water, the fertilizer, and the rich soil itself—none of these can be consumed raw.”
The Zhao Clan Ancestor was enraged.
Those blood vessels continued to strike at the Li family members in an attempt to kill them, but every attack was useless.
Li Yaowen went on,
“The blood and flesh of the Zhao clan are the seeds.
The Qi Luck of others is the water.
Your heart is the fertile soil.
And time is the fertilizer.
You plan to use all this to grow a massive harvest, which you will then eat to become powerful.”
“But for you, this heart that controls Qi Luck is the foundation of everything.”
She tilted her head back, looking at the seal in the sky.
“And once your heart loses its ability to control Qi Luck, your hundred and sixty thousand years of work will be made worthless, starting from the very foundation.”
“You have been... marked.”
“No!”
The eyes within the Heart stared upward.
That seal... was competing with him for dominance over Qi Luck, and he was being utterly defeated.
That seal held the authority of a supreme power he could never hope to resist—an authority that looked down upon him.
It was governing the Qi Luck of Heaven and Earth, ruling over the life and death of all things!
In the entire Azure Dynasty, only one such power existed: the Human Emperor!
The Heart shuddered.
