Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1990 - 1464: The End

"Li Xiuting!"

In truth, Li Xiuting had put on a truly impressive show, and amid this disaster, his efforts for the clan stood out as some of the most vital!

Thus, when an Elder suggested putting him in charge of guiding the family members to pursue Devil Beasts across the hills, to clear out the family's karma without delay, nobody raised a voice against it.

"It's decided—he will handle it!"

Li Xiuyuan didn't think of picking someone different—considering how the Devil Beasts in Shanhai State possessed only feeble cultivation levels and power. They mostly served as practice for the youth, so no great strength was required to deal with them.

As a result, Li Xiuting, fresh back at Mount Wanxian for just a short break of days, got the family's command to take a band of relatives into various mountain areas to take down Devil Beasts.

Sharp-minded as he was, he instantly figured out from the directive that the clan felt the catastrophe neared its close and rushed to wrap up their karma.

That's why Li Xiuting wasted no time; he rapidly gathered his group and guided the clansmen deep into the peaks to slaughter the Devil Beasts.

Thanks to the hard work of this team, merely one month passed before they wiped out roughly seventy percent of the Devil Beasts in Shanhai State. What was left consisted of expectant females or immature offspring.

Sure, the Devil Beasts' frailty played a role, but Li Xiuting's command skills deserved much of the credit.

Unavoidably, some harm and fatalities occurred along the way, yet the toll stayed small, with most enduring only injuries.

Following that, the Li family held back from any major actions.

After all, with karma settled, the Sea Clan lurking deep in retreat, and the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance dug in firmly—so even if they aimed to gain merit, opportunities simply didn't exist.

Therefore, all returned to their duties. Apart from the inability to cultivate like in the past, daily life went on unchanged; they patiently hung on for the calamity's conclusion.

To the Li family, existence felt like a secluded haven away from turmoil, while in other parts of the Primal Spirit Realm, folks kept battling the ongoing disaster.

This held particularly true for the cultivators and Human Dao practitioners in the Southern Domain—they formed the largest groups. However, following the latest massive conflict, a good chunk of the Devil Race's karma had been cleared, so they saw no reason to linger, turning their offspring's lives into fodder for rivals.

Would the human race just bow out that simply? Ultimately, they pursued relentlessly; the Devil Race had no choice but to clash while pulling back, until reaching the Hundred Thousand Mountains—their stronghold—where the humans at last stopped.

Indeed, charging straight in would spark a desperate stand from the Devil Race; victory might come, but at the cost of devastating casualties on their own side—no point in that.

Still, with lingering karma weighing them down, they lacked superior choices and puzzled over the path forward.

Regarding conflict between Human Dao and Immortal Dao? The leaders on either side hadn't gone insane—they'd never spark such idiocy, rekindling eternal faction wars for future ages.

With choices exhausted, just one option remained!

Namely, the Demonic Tao in the Western Domain!

They showed no desire to head to the Far West and join the fight against the Sea Clan—far too remote, and likely the disaster would wrap up before arrival.

Since Heavenly Immortal Li Zhirui could detect shifts in the world, and dozens of other Heavenly Immortals shared that insight—though not all knew, a few certainly did.

Rather than journey afar, they targeted Demon Cultivators right within West Continent!

Whether this would enrage Demonic Tao and invite backlash—they couldn't be bothered.

Future fallout could wait; right now, clearing karma took precedence.

Moreover, Immortal and Demon stood as eternal foes, Human Dao and Demon Cultivators often collided—adding ancient grudges or not made little difference at this point.

So, Human Dao and Immortal Dao rallied those with unresolved karma and united, soaring toward West Continent.

During this period, plenty of Demon Cultivators still roamed the Western Continent's territories; some protected sect gates or heritage sites, others wandered as Loose Cultivators.

How could they endure the ferocious raids from Immortal Dao and Human Dao, like packs of wolves?

Masses of Demon Cultivators fled desperately, letting the two sides not just purge karma, but also claim numerous Spiritual Objects and techniques.

Before long, word of this spread to the Far West battlefront!

"Curse them! Those Immortal Dao cultivators are downright vile—striking slyly from behind and wrecking our legacy!"

Fury boiled among the Demon Cultivators. On the front lines, they gained no edge; now chaos engulfed the rear too. Combined, it looked like all of Demonic Tao teetered on total ruin.

"Don't those Immortal Dao cultivators crave clashing with the Sea Clan to clear karma? Why not just yield the battlefield—force them to tackle the Sea Clan solo while we swing back to expel those wretched cultivators and Human Dao from West Continent!"

"Allow them to keep ravaging, and the entire West Continent could end up theirs!"

This proposal from a Heavenly Immortal Demon Cultivator earned full support!

Once discussions wrapped, they sealed the information tight; no one in the opposing camp caught wind.

As they pulled out, they intended to leave a massive "present" for the cultivators!

A few calm days went by, then war's fires blazed anew.

The Sea Clan proved as mighty as before, sending swarms of Water Devils that churned into dense, dark surges, slamming hard against the shore.

The scene struck terror, yet the cultivators had grown used to it, staying steady. Only as the Water Devils hit striking distance did they loose their ready strikes.

Per prior unspoken pact, the Demon Cultivators opposite were set to attack simultaneously, together repelling the Beast Tide.

But the Demon Cultivators' response stunned both cultivators and Water Devils—they pulled away!

"This is bad!"

A handful of Heavenly Immortal cultivators grasped the situation right away, promptly ordering shifts in array, prioritizing defense against this Sea Clan push before plotting further steps.

If the cultivators reeled with shock and fury, the Sea Clan erupted in delighted guffaws.

Before, only the alliance of Immortal and Demon had thwarted their pushes; now, with just cultivators manning the front and Demon Cultivators bolting in droves, defenses gaped wide—if they failed to exploit this, they ought to slink back to the depths and forget conquering West Continent's seas.

"Blast it! What's going through those fools' heads? Can't they see that Sea Clan seizing inner waters spells doom for humanity?"

The cultivators, blind to the purging of Demon Cultivators' birthplaces by rear forces, couldn't fathom or stomach the Demon Cultivators' motives.

Yet for Demonic Tao, squeezed from front and back, prioritizing West Continent's soil made perfect sense. It tied not just to their legacy, but their core roots!
