Chapter 237: Your Ancestor’s Spirit Is Also Eager For Battle
"Go back? The Long family has come out; you still want to retreat?!"
In front of the screen, Li Wei excitedly slammed his hand on the table.
A hundred years into the Li family's story, they were no longer the family that needed him to personally descend, to use all sorts of tricks and schemes, even sacrificing family members to defeat a Nascent Soul cultivator. They now possessed a variety of powerful abilities!
As long as they weren't on someone else's territory, Li Wei was confident that they could at least handle a family like the Long family.
Just look at Li Dalong's zombies and Xuan Tianzi.
[Your descendant, Li Dalong, after years of refining zombies, has fulfilled the conditions to refine 'Xuan Tianzi' into a 'Heavenly Zombie'!]
[Congratulations! Your family has acquired a 'Heavenly Zombie'!]
[Your descendant, Li Dalong, using the remaining materials from his years of refining zombies, has also refined over twenty 'Zombie Kings'!]
[Xuan Tianzi (Heavenly Zombie)]
[Realm: Initial Stage]
[Description: She has obtained a brand new infant soul. She is bound to the Heaven-Piercing Coffin, and her soul grows stronger every day, becoming an existence that transcends the realms of the living and the dead.
During the refinement process, her body and Nascent Soul remained partially intact, preserving some of her original power, while also being influenced by deathly energy.]
[Her body is infused with the flesh and bones of a million people, granting her strength comparable to a body cultivator. Her Nascent Soul harbors the 'Azure Phoenix Phantom,' which has transformed into the 'Undying Azure Phoenix Phantom'...]
Although Xuan Tianzi's strength might not be as great as before, she could still hold back Long Xuankong without much difficulty. After all, how terrifying was a battle between Nascent Soul experts?
Li Wei could only see, in the game's sky, a scene shrouded in black mist. Within that mist, there were the golden scales from that day outside the Skyveil Sect, and the roars of furious dragons.
As for the Long family members?
Without Long Xuankong to protect them, they faced Li Yaozu, who had few rivals among Nascent Soul cultivators!
Amidst the countless flying corpses and Zombie Kings, Li Yaozu's sword sang through the sky, transforming into a soaring dragon!
Li Yaozu stood atop the dragon's head, charging directly toward the Long family's flying ship.
The Long family cultivators were not to be trifled with either. Immense spiritual power surged towards Li Yaozu.
But even facing this spiritual power, which would send any other cultivator fleeing in terror, Li Yaozu remained expressionless.
Too weak!
Compared to the Heavenly Star Sword Saint he had faced before, this pressure, this power, was far too weak!
"Heavenly Sword, become the stars."
"My sword—"
"Return to the heavens!"
As his words fell, the black Heavenly Star Sword in his hand unexpectedly moved in front of him, shattering into pieces in an instant!
The fragments of the Heavenly Star Sword floated in the sky, truly transforming the airspace above the Long family into a vast sea of stars, the stars twinkling brightly.
The sword dragon beneath Li Yaozu also instantly shattered, its fragments surging upwards towards the stars in the sky, merging with them.
And then, like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, the stars fell amidst the cries of the swords!
No matter what artifacts or techniques the Long family used, whether it was martial arts, talismans, or formations, under this apocalyptic rain of falling stars, they were all as fragile as illusions!
"This... is this the true strength of the Sword King, Li Yaozu?"
Cries of anguish filled the air. Elder Tianqing, who had been prepared to fight for his life, now stared in awe at Li Yaozu, who was floating in the sky, his robes billowing as he formed hand seals.
At this moment, cold sweat trickled down Elder Tianqing's face. His eyes reflected both the awe of witnessing such power and the fear of having narrowly escaped a similar fate.
"No wonder Gu Cangsheng said that as long as the Sword King was outside the Azure Cloud Pavilion, unless a Nascent Soul cultivator appeared, no number of Golden Core cultivators would be of any use."
"Below the Nascent Soul stage, the Sword King..."
"...is invincible!"
He gulped and glanced again at Li Dalong. The Li family patriarch, amidst the overwhelming horde of zombies, seemed quite ordinary.
This fellow charged into the flying ship carrying his coffin, smashing it with brute force, such a simple and crude approach.
He also only possessed the spiritual power of a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.
But...
Elder Tianqing still didn't dare underestimate him. These countless zombies were all summoned by Li Dalong. He was the true king of these zombies, and even that heaven-defying Heavenly Zombie was forged by Li Dalong.
He sensed that Li Dalong was probably carrying a heavy burden of sins... surely heavier than the coffin on his back.
"No!"
Elder Tianqing's expression changed again in an instant. He saw the azure aura surrounding Li Dalong as he smashed things, summoning thunder, transforming into a thousand shadows, and protecting himself with a tortoise-shell formation!
"The Skyveil Sect's 'Thunder Summoning,' the 'Phantom Shadow Steps,' Black Tortoise Sect's 'Black Tortoise Inscription Technique,' and my Azure Cloud Pavilion's lost technique, 'Azure Cloud Unfallen'..."
If it were just a matter of stealing these techniques, Elder Tianqing wouldn't be surprised.
He knew clearly that even if the Li family had stolen these techniques, it was inevitable. After all, those two sects now had two highly sought-after true disciples, both of whom were members of the Li family!
What truly astonished him was...
"All...have reached the point of perfection!"
His attacks were simple and unadorned, yet with this mastery of various techniques and martial arts, Li Dalong's foundation was incredibly solid, a rare sight in the world.
Elder Tianqing realized that this man, who looked like a simple farmer, was merely keeping a low profile...
"Senior Tianqing," Li Dalong called out, "this junior can't hold on any longer. Please assist me."
Li Dalong's calm voice reached him.
Elder Tianqing's lips twitched, but he didn't say anything. He quickly joined the battle.
You're nowhere near "unable to hold on"! You just get a small cut on your hand from your own spiritual power, and you act like you're on the verge of death?
...
In front of the screen, Li Wei hadn't expected the father and son to be so fierce. The Long family still had two peak Golden Core cultivators!
[Long Tianji]n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
[Description: Possessing the bloodline of a Flood Dragon, born a hundred years ago, his physical body is impenetrable to any Golden Core cultivator. In his youth, he honed his skills through trials, defeating all his peers. He wields a Supreme-grade Spirit Weapon... and possesses a spirit object...]
...
[Long Qingying]
[Description: A master of the Long family's techniques and martial arts... Obtained a mysterious dragon inscription at the family's ancestral land, doubling her strength... Inherited the ancestral Flood Dragon bloodline, capable of transforming into a myriad of shadows, her movements untraceable...]
Even among Golden Core cultivators, these two were considered geniuses.
But...
They were defeated, Long Tianji was truly crushed.
[Your descendant, Li Dalong, commanded three Zombie Kings to use their physical bodies as shields, gathered a hundred flying corpses to self-destruct, and seized the moment when Long Tianji was unprepared. Unleashing all his spiritual power and summoning ten thousand souls with the Soul-Summoning Calamity Formation, he smashed Long Tianji with his coffin!]
[Under Li Yaozu's Heavenly Sword, Long Qingying had nowhere to escape!]
"..."
In front of the screen, Li Wei's mouse hovered over the skill icons, and the ancestral tablets lit up.
For a moment, he was... at a loss as the soul tablets lit up.
"My children," he declared, "your ancestor's spirit is also eager for battle!"
