Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1890: 1414: Capture
Previously on Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan...
Neither the master nor his disciple showed any shock at this outcome. In the end, if crossing through space was that simple, why would these heaven-defying cultivators have to face the deadly Thunder Tribulation with its nine chances of death and one of survival?
Besides, the initial Devil Beast they dispatched was just at the Golden Core stage.
Within this Minor Thousand World, both the master and disciple had reached the peak cultivation possible here—the Tribulation Transcending Realm!
Possessing such immense power, they had the luxury to test things out step by step.
Once the Golden Core Devil Beast perished, the trial advanced: Nascent Soul, Divine Transformation, Void Refinement, Integration…
Devil Beasts from these four stages ventured into the spatial rift, each suffering the identical fate, dissolving into a thick blood fog.
However, a small variation emerged; the Golden Core one vanished in a flash, yet with higher cultivation, the Devil Beasts endured a bit more!
When the Integration Realm Devil Beast came into play, it actually made it to the spatial rift and nearly passed through, only to get ripped apart in the end.
This shift sparked hope in the master and disciple.
As they forced a Mahayana Realm Devil Beast into the spatial rift, the moment they'd longed for finally arrived!
Even though the creature suffered heavy wounds and looked gravely hurt, it managed to cross over successfully!
“Hurry! Pull out its Life Token right now!” The elder's heart pounded furiously at the sight, his expression taut with tension yet brimming with huge excitement.
The disciple felt the same thrill and anxiety, his fingers shaking as he drew the Life Token from his Storage Magical Treasure.
“It's whole!” He jerked his head up abruptly, his features glowing with pure joy as he announced.
“Excellent, excellent, excellent!”
The elder's excitement surged uncontrollably, his cheeks burning red while he kept uttering the words, their long-held scheme now unfolding before their eyes!
Their reluctance to attempt Tribulation Transcendence stemmed from fear, a deep dread of perishing beneath the Thunder Tribulation.
One of them had grown too aged, with waning vitality and strength; the other had committed acts against the natural order to reach Mahayana, carrying a heavy load of Karmic Force.
Yet staying put without ascending from this Minor Thousand World meant their lifespans would run out eventually, leading to decay and death.
Thus, they sought an alternative path to depart the Minor Thousand World without proper ascension, and remarkably, their efforts had paid off!
For on the far side of the spatial rift, within the Primal Spirit Realm, that Mahayana Realm Devil Beast had arrived unscathed.
But the instant it showed up, Li Zhirui moved like lightning to grab hold of it.
Without any other Human Dao powerhouses around, he didn't even need to unleash his full might to easily overpower these foes.
Li Zhirui skipped questioning the beast amid the crowd and instead unleashed his mighty Spiritual Soul for a direct Soul Search!
Soon after, a flicker of surprise appeared in the depths of his gaze.
Earlier, he'd figured the spatial rift came from some Heavenly Immortals, or at minimum Earth Immortals, plotting to breach other realms.
Through the beast's memories, though, he was stunned to learn it originated from two mere Mortal Realm Tribulation-Transcending Cultivators.
Regardless of the finer points, the ingenuity of those two's techniques stood out.
In that instant, Li Zhirui resolved himself: the moment these two entered the Primal Spirit Realm via the spatial rift, he'd strike fast to seize them, or snag at least one!
Whatever the price, victory was essential!
He couldn't allow both to end up with Human Dao, lest their ongoing experiments spread to multiple worlds for plundering resources, plunging the Primal Spirit Realm into chaos!
Li Zhirui now yearned for the master and disciple across the rift to hurry, while wishing the Human Dao forces would delay their arrival, letting him secure the captures without worry.
With that thought, his eyes shifted to the fading Devil Beast, and he pulled a Spiritual Medicine from his storage to aid its refinement and recovery, preventing an imminent death.
…
Back in that secluded small world.
Elder Bai Canghan and his disciple Gao Yunlin took quite some time to steady their nerves. Rather than rushing ahead, they lingered in place, watching silently.
This caution arose from worries about hidden perils beyond the spatial rift, so if the Devil Beast's Life Token stayed intact after a quarter-hour, it signaled safety on the other end!
What felt like a mere short span dragged on endlessly in their minds, turning into pure torment.
In their fretful tension, the quarter-hour at last elapsed!
“Forward! Our escape from this crisis rests on this final move!” Bai Canghan declared, layering protective barriers around himself to avoid harm while crossing.
“We'll pull it off for sure!” Gao Yunlin encouraged not just his master but also himself to bolster his determination.
The fact that master and disciple avoided betrayal and scheming against each other boiled down to the perils of an unfamiliar world, where mutual support proved vital.
Resolved deeply, the pair soared together toward the spatial rift!
But unbeknownst to them, right after they left, a group of stooped silhouettes abruptly materialized in the area.
