After receiving Grand Elder Puci's crisp and straightforward promise.
Li Wei flew before Zhao Tingyu.
With a Dharma Treasure weapon in each hand and the pagoda floating above his head, he realized that he was now terrifyingly strong!
That "Time Stop" of "One Thought"—lasting less than a millisecond—was undoubtedly a God-tier Skill for a cultivator of his realm!
Moreover, as his strength increased, this God-tier Skill would become even stronger.
For instance, against a "weakling" in the Void Refining realm like Yaozu, or even opponents several times stronger, Li Wei was certain that finishing them off would require only a single spear thrust.
Seeing Li Wei approach, Zhao Tingyu, sealed within the formation, was equally direct.
"Kill me."
This man's eyes were filled with absolute resolve, as well as a fearlessness in the face of despair.
Li Wei furrowed his brows; when Zhao Wan had stepped into Yaozu's Void Refining Space earlier, she had been exactly the same.
Intelligence from his descendants appeared before the panel once again.
[The Zhao Clan members have already utilized the Zhao Clan Pagodas to rapidly absorb the Destinies of others within the Immortal Domain.]
"You people seem unafraid of death."
Li Wei asked quietly.
Yet Zhao Tingyu flashed a mocking smile.
"I never expected the Azure Cloud Li Clan to possess an existence like you.
It is a pity, however.
To deal with me, your Time Laws have been exhausted; you will find it difficult to use them again for another three to five years.
"If you think that by taking me down, you can take down my Zhao Clan, you are gravely mistaken.
"Even after being exterminated at the hands of the Demonic People, my clan has survived for one hundred and sixty thousand years.
How could your Li Clan possibly understand our depths?"
His gaze seemed to penetrate the Void Refining Space, as if everything within the Immortal Domain was reflected in his eyes.
Seeing the Destiny of countless living beings rising into the air, his tone became sonorous and resonant.
"The era may defeat us, but it cannot annihilate my Zhao Clan.
You people, will only become fodder for my Zhao Clan."
Unparalleled confidence.
The countless wounds on his body could not crush the arrogance he held as a Zhao Clan Elder.
Li Wei said calmly, "Then I hope your clansmen are as arrogant as you."
"Hahaha!"
Zhao Tingyu suddenly burst into laughter. "You intend to use my life to threaten my clansmen? Hahaha, ridiculous! Hahaha!"
...
The great battle erupted within the Immortal Domain.
When Li Wei arrived, he saw millions of clansmen charging out to kill.
He could clearly sense that in the skies above the Immortal Domain, Fairy Bai, Zhao Jingmiao, Zhuo Linlin, and the Martial Emperor—the four of them—were already slaughtering each other within a Void Refining Space.
Zhao Buqun floated into the air, manipulating the high towers built throughout the Immortal Domain.
Those towers were not merely buildings for residence; they were part of the Grand Formation!
This great battle turned the dark night as bright as day.
Spiritual power collided, causing violent fluctuations in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
It was impossible to tell where the forces of either side were charging, as the scale of the battle continued to expand.
Even in the sky, cultivators were chasing each other, and the sounds of explosions echoed throughout the entire Duravia Trade Prefecture.
Dharma Idols ranging from a hundred to a thousand meters tall could be seen everywhere, trampling the earth.
Cultivators flew in groups on their swords to engage the enemy.
In the blink of an eye, a thousand-meter giant that seemed unmatched in power might crash to the ground.
The battlefield was filled with Dharma Treasures, Spirit Tools, Talismans, and Puppets.
In a life-and-death battle such as this, cultivators stopped at nothing.
Most possessed some unique skills.
In this war of a million cultivators, the very next moment might see the number of allies on the battlefield multiply several times—or even tenfold—through means such as "Spirit Control," "Ghost Control," and...
One second, mountains might crumble, and the earth might crack; the next, monstrous floods might surge to the heavens.
"Hahaha!"
Suddenly, a thousand-meter-tall ancient tree appeared on the battlefield!
It was the Old Tree of the Li family.
The Old Tree's massive trunk was bare, devoid of its red leaves.
Its sharp branches and roots had pierced through a flock of powerful summoned birds.
Li Changsheng was lying on the trunk.
A human-like face emerged on the bark before him, speaking fiercely to Li Changsheng:
"You brat, watch closely! I may not be good at duels, but when it comes to a group brawl, you can't hold a candle to me!"
"..." Li Changsheng rolled his eyes.
He assumed the Old Tree was still brooding over his duel with Zhao Qingxia.
"Tree Spirits, Stone Spirits, come!"
As the Old Tree shouted, the earth and rocks rumbled.
One by one, Stone Spirits drilled out of the ground and charged into the battlefield.
From all directions, the trees that had managed to survive the battle began to stride like humans, killing their way into the fray.
A Divinity Transformation giant beast, summoned by a member of the Zhao Clan via a spell technique, charged toward the Old Tree.
Li Changsheng abruptly opened his white eyes; the giant beast leaping toward the Old Tree seemed to be struck by a crushing gravity, wailing as it crashed to the ground.
"Good lad, hahaha!" The Old Tree laughed heartily.
He was just about to roar and bellow across the battlefield, venting the instinctive desires aroused by the fresh blood, but in the next moment, his smile froze.
He saw a massive sheet of Mystical Yellow Talisman Paper floating into the air.
In front of it sat three lotus platforms, upon which the Three Thieves sat, acting as mysterious and eccentric as ever amidst this battlefield.
"I have seen."
"I observe."
"The Zhao Clan's fate is spent. If you wish for reincarnation, you should—"
"Slit your throats and return to the Heavens!!!"
"..."
The Old Tree's movements stagnated.
The human face in front of Li Changsheng went stiff and dull, followed immediately by a roar of heaven-shaking rage.
"Ah! Bastards! Bastards!!!"
The former Thirteen Profound Seals had become the Fifteen Profound Seals.
From above the divine talisman, fifteen high experts charged out.
These experts radiated golden light; they were semi-transparent spirit bodies, yet they lacked none of the physical prowess of flesh and blood.
Each possessed unique skills, and in this chaotic battlefield, surprisingly, no one could get within half an inch of the three lotus platforms in front of the divine talisman.
The Old Tree's roar truly gave Li Tianming, who was sitting on the lotus platform, a fright.
He looked out at the battlefield, watching the spikes constantly stabbing out and retracting beneath the Old Tree, the roots and branches flailing wildly, and the Old Tree radiating blood energy as if dancing in a frenzy.
Shrinking his neck into his shoulders, he asked, "Big Brother, Tianqi... what's wrong with the Old Tree? He looks like he's gone mad."
"Oh, it's probably because we stole his lines. Plus, we sounded more cultured than him when we said them, so now he's angry," Li Tianqi replied casually.
"Huh? That's not good, is it?"
Li Tianming pinched his earlobe; he was a bit afraid.
The Old Tree was famously short-tempered back home. If he decided to beat them up...
Seeing Li Tianming trembling, Li Tianyi rolled his eyes.
"What are you afraid of? Worst-case scenario, we just won't go home for a hundred years. Once he beats up my old man, his anger will pass."
Scarcely had the words fallen.
Li Tianyi's expression changed.
He saw Li Tianming—who had been trembling just a moment ago—suddenly display a ferocious smile.
His eyes turned thoroughly crimson as he abruptly stood up on the lotus platform.
In an instant, he charged toward a powerful Divinity Transformation cultivator of the Zhao Clan floating in the distance, one who possessed the ethereal bearing of a Banished Immortal.
"That guy... he's out!" Li Tianqi's mouth twitched.
He exchanged a glance with a wide-eyed Li Tianyi, and both saw the panic in the other's face.
"Damn it, go catch him and bring him back, quick! Holy hell!"
A morbid, maniacal scream drifted from afar.
"I beg of you, don't run! Let me kill you! Let me kill you! Jie jie jie jie jie!"
