Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1791 - 1364: Heavenly Immortal! (Part 2)
The mana stored within the Thousand Spirits has been mostly depleted, and he himself is almost at his limit.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Li Zhirui keenly sensed that the power of the Thunder Sea had declined slightly. He immediately realized that this was due to the excessive depletion of the tribulation thunder’s mana!
And this gave him a glimpse of hope that he could overcome this tribulation without using his trump card!
The thunder tribulation is merely a test by the Heavenly Dao for cultivators, not a certain death punishment like heavenly punishment. Naturally, it has some limitations, one of which is spiritual energy.
So theoretically, as long as you have enough mana, you can exhaust the thunder spiritual energy and thus pass the thunder tribulation!
Of course, Li Zhirui did not intend to do so. After all, the power of the tribulation thunder had only weakened slightly, and there should still be a significant amount of spiritual energy stored. In his current state, he simply couldn’t outlast his opponent.
Therefore, he planned to face the tribulation thunder head-on!
With his decision made, spiritual energy from the Five Elements Small Realm quickly appeared in Li Zhirui’s dantian, rapidly filling the Dantian Sea of Law, which was nearly depleted.
Thud!
A dull sound rang out, and before Li Zhirui, a towering ancient tree rapidly grew, emanating wisps of mist and strands of spirit light, all of which were quickly absorbed by the tree, causing it to grow further.
The thick tree trunk rapidly expanded toward the Thunder Sea, while the canopy had already reached out, only to be quickly pulverized into ash by the lightning and fall to the ground.
The bark, as thick as armor, displayed remarkable resilience against the onslaught of lightning, remaining steadfast and unyielding despite the relentless attacks.
The ancient tree, in its growth, rapidly consumed the mana of the tribulation thunder while continuously expanding its safe space as its trunk grew larger and larger.
When it reached a height of a hundred zhang, the ancient tree halted its growth but transformed into an enormous treant, as tall as a mountain, wielding its massive roots to extinguish a significant amount of lightning.
To achieve all this, Li Zhirui paid a huge price!
He mobilized a vast amount of spiritual energy from the Five Elements Small Realm and also drew upon the power of another world to enhance himself. Not only did his body suffer, but the small realm was also not faring well.
Fortunately, all that he did was worth it!
Because before Li Zhirui collapsed, the last tribulation thunder was forcibly shattered by the treant he had summoned!
"Successfully overcome it!" Seeing the last wisp of thunder light dissipate, Xiaoqing could no longer contain the excitement within and shouted loudly.
Hua——
Mount Wanxian erupted in an uproar, with all the clan members emitting a synchronized gasp, as if prearranged, spreading a cry of astonishment for hundreds of miles.
Soon, they would witness the birth of the Li family’s first Heavenly Immortal cultivator!
...
Outside the Ten Thousand Immortals Mountain Range, many cultivators from other powers were scattered about.
"That was the ninth tribulation thunder dissipating, right?"
During Li Zhirui’s tribulation transcendence, such a tremendous uproar occurred. How could these personnel assigned to observe the Li family not notice?
And this mountain-shaking cry, even from several hundred miles away, clearly contained a dense joy and excitement.
What don’t they understand by now?
"Who would have thought! The Li family’s rise was so swift."
"Indeed! Who would have thought that a few thousand years ago, they were just an insignificant mortal realm family."
"It’s incredible! In my knowledge, no Immortal Dao power has risen so swiftly."
Those present felt deeply.
But quickly, a hint of worry arose within their hearts.
"Will the birth of a Heavenly Immortal in the Li family change the surrounding dynamics?"
"Seeing how the Li family has always been cautious and prudent, they shouldn’t act recklessly."
"One can only hope." The previously speaking cultivator wasn’t very optimistic.
Heavenly Immortal is different from other realms!
After breaking through to Heavenly Immortal, one is formally considered at the top tier of the Primal Spirit Realm, and just recently, Heavenly Immortal was the limit of this realm.
Who’s to say that their past behavior wasn’t just a pretense due to lack of strength, and now, thinking they are strong enough, who knows if they will maintain their previous ways?
But these major issues are not for them to consider. What they need to do now is report the news of Li Zhirui’s successful tribulation transcendence back to the mountain gate/territory, leaving the elders to ponder.
Speaking of which!
After transcending the ninth tribulation thunder, Li Zhirui no longer possessed even a trace of mana within, completely exhausted of strength, and could only lean against the ancient tree that helped him through the tribulation.
The only consolation was that his spiritual soul was in a fair state!
In the next instant, a black light shot out from the tribulation cloud, swiftly arriving in front of Li Zhirui, giving him no time to react, directly drilling into his sea of consciousness from the center of his brow.
"Hehehe, looks like my luck is good. I could harvest another Heavenly Immortal’s cultivation and mana this time, making all the effort to secure the obstruction slot worthwhile."
The heart demon, as soon as it entered the sea of consciousness, emitted a confident laugh, as if certain of its success. Yet, even so, it remained vigilant, not abandoning its specialization, the illusion technique.
Within the universe, in the countless worlds, the Outer Heaven Demons residing in the Luohou Demon Realm have no communication with each other, all wary of unknowingly falling into each other’s traps.
So the heart demon had no idea that Li Zhirui had mastered the Purification Principle, specifically restraining such evil filth, mistakenly believing it had taken on a lucky, good task it had seized by fortune.
However, the heart demon quickly realized it was terribly mistaken!
Only to see within the sea of consciousness, tiny spots of pure white spirit light suddenly appear, rapidly converging toward the center, transforming into a white lotus and a small knife.
The white lotus floated above Li Zhirui’s spiritual soul, casting down strands of spirit light to protect it.
The small knife then charged directly at the heart demon, for once the source is ended, the illusionary realm naturally shatters.
The heart demon hurriedly tried to block, but was effortlessly pierced by the purification knife, appearing directly before him, shocking him greatly.
Pu chi!
The small knife stabbed into his body, a rich, pure power of purification erupting within the heart demon, making him appear as a glowing orb before being shattered by the restrained power.
A heart demon that came to obstruct a cultivator’s breakthrough to Heavenly Immortal, thus met its humiliating end in the hands of Li Zhirui.
The illusionary realm shattered instantly, so swiftly that the illusionary realm hadn’t any effect.
Once the heart demon was extinguished, the tribulation cloud above Li Zhirui’s head underwent an earth-shattering change. The pitch-black tribulation cloud transformed into abundant spiritual energy, ultimately condensing into a massive pillar of light, enveloping his entire being.
The once dry Dantian Sea of Law was rapidly filled with mana pouring in like a surging flood, swiftly rising until completely full.
Yet the spiritual energy wasn’t exhausted, so he actively operated his cultivation technique, taking advantage of this excellent opportunity to refine his mana, saving a lot of time for future cultivation.
Simultaneously, during this process, some of Li Zhirui’s internal injuries were treated by the pure spiritual energy. Although not fully healed, they were much relieved.
The spirit qi infusion process lasted for a full hour!
One can imagine how immense this spiritual energy was, while also signifying how terrifying the power of the thunder tribulation had been.
Buzz——
Li Zhirui gradually opened his eyes, a powerful, terrifying aura burst forth from within his body, instantly sweeping across all directions, and even at a great distance, the observing clan members could feel the overwhelming pressure.
"So this is the Heavenly Immortal Realm?"
Li Zhirui gradually opened his eyes, feeling the surging mana within, exhaling a long breath, unable to suppress a smile on his lips.
Moreover, after breaking through to Heavenly Immortal, he found himself having a deeper, clearer understanding of heaven and earth, the laws which were formerly a bit unclear to him, now lay fully revealed before him!
"Thanks to everyone for protecting me, but everything will have to wait until I solidify my realm."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhirui disappeared.
