Within the trial area.

A group of powerful beings hurried forward, their hearts filled with shock. Besides the three basic slowing formations at the very front, the cores of all the other formations had been destroyed by someone.

The most horrifying thing was that each formation was saturated with a strong, nauseating stench of blood. A glance revealed a sea of blood, igniting a burning rage in their hearts.

They knew that this was the blood of their disciples, mercilessly killed by Li Xiaobai using the formations.

The Three Sects’ Sect Masters grew more anxious. They no longer entered from the Gate of Life but directly pushed forward with force. Their Mahayana Realm cultivation levels were revealed without reservation, showing no intention of holding back. The already somewhat spiritless formations cracked and crumbled in an instant under the pressure.

The crowd sped past, heading straight for the last formation.

“Sect Master Zhen, can that last formation trap Li Xiaobai?”

“Looking at the situation, ordinary formations probably won’t work on him!”

The cultivators asked, inferring from the signs that the opponent was not afraid of these formations at all. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to use them to kill their disciples.

“Don’t worry. The tenth formation is out of the ordinary; it is not just any lethal formation but a site used to suppress a secret realm.”

Zhen Tiannan spoke slowly, pondering for a long time before deciding to reveal this.

The Three Sects had lost their dignity, and if they couldn’t come up with something to command respect now, their authority might be severely diminished in the future.

It was crucial to impress the many powerful beings present today and to keep some details about the tenth formation to themselves.

“What secret realm might that be?”

Some cultivators’ expressions changed, never having heard of a secret realm within the Three Sects.

“My Array Formation Sect has a minor world. In ancient times, when the Sea Clan invaded, a predecessor used Great Divine Power to seal this minor world, and he suppressed a member of the Sea Clan within the formation. Thus, this final formation is, strictly speaking, not just a formation.”

Zhen Tiannan gave a brief explanation.

Hiss!

Upon hearing this, all the cultivators present took a sharp intake of breath.

The Sea Clan was a mysterious group of cultivators who lived in the sea and followed a completely different cultivation technique from the cultivators of the Immortal Spirit Continent. On the Mainland, aside from frequent interactions between the Eastern Sea and the Sea Clan, all other races greatly feared them.

A thousand years ago, the Sea Clan launched an invasion, seeking to occupy the Immortal Spirit Continent and take more resources. In that war, countless predecessors bled, sacrificing their lives to hold the Sea Clan cultivators back. Thereafter, the Mainland’s cultivators sealed all the Sea Clan’s entrances.

It was unexpected that the Three Sects had been suppressing such a powerful member of the Sea Clan. Although the Sea Clan was somewhat ferocious, with Zhen Tiannan’s Mahayana Realm cultivation level, it wouldn’t be difficult to benefit from the Sea Clan and still come out unscathed.

No wonder the Three Sects rose to power in just a few decades; having such a foundation was truly enviable.

“It’s no wonder the Three Great Sects can have such a foundation, standing unshakeable in Central Province, not without reason.”

“Heh, you overpraise me. It’s just a secret realm, nothing noteworthy. We’ve only heeded the warnings of our predecessors and never actively opened the secret realm, so it cannot be considered a foundation.”

While talking, the group had already crossed the nine formations and arrived in front of the tenth formation.

…

On the high platform at the center of the altar, Li Xiaobai kept urging Ji Wuqing to speed up. The enemy was already on their way, and any more dawdling would mean death.

Knowing the seriousness of the situation, Ji Wuqing didn’t fuss. With a flutter of his small wings, he hopped out of the nightglow cup.

He left behind a puddle of an unidentifiable golden viscous substance in it, from which wafted a strange, indescribable scent.

Li Xiaobai held his nose and kicked Ji Wuqing to the side.

“Clean yourself up before you come back!”

“Hehe, boy, you dare to despise me!”

Ji Wuqing was infuriated. It had already released the thing inside its stomach, and now it had come back to full health, feeling light and free of burdens.

It was at this time that the ninth Formation behind them exploded with a bang, and out of the dust, more than a dozen figures slowly emerged, led by none other than the Three Sects’ Sect Masters.

“Li Xiaobai, you’ve got guts, daring to infiltrate the Array Formation Sect and even slaughtering your fellow cultivators, causing the deaths of countless geniuses in Central Province with such outrageous and harmful actions. You can’t be left alive!”

“Prepare to die!”

Zhen Tiannan’s voice was chilling to the bone, sinisterly spoken. Seeing Li Xiaobai in person seemed to stabilize his rage.

“Li Xiaobai, you killed the pillars of our sect. I will settle this grudge today. If you don’t want to suffer, then cripple your own cultivation,” said a host of powerhouses. They found that Li Xiaobai, upon seeing them, was not as panicked as they had imagined. Instead, he was eerily calm, an attitude that further annoyed them.

After all, they were respected figures, admired by thousands. Couldn’t he show some reaction?

Gazing at the bunch of infuriated big shots in front of him, Li Xiaobai stretched his neck and grinned: “Then come hit me!”

“I’ll be damned…”

“Such arrogance in a young man, I’ve never seen the likes before!”

“Never have I received such an impudent request. But since you’ve asked, I, the old man, will satisfy you. Remember to send my regards to my young master when you go down!”

Seeing Li Xiaobai’s beatable face, everyone’s anger boiled over. The experts in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, all at the peak of their realm, launched a furious attack on Li Xiaobai, their strength nothing to scoff at.

As the fierce wind rushed toward him, Li Xiaobai stood with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent, showing no intention whatsoever to counter or defend.

This scene stoked the fury of the cultivators even further. How many years had it been since they were looked down upon in such a manner?

“Heavenly Demon Hand!”

“Divine Wind Kick!”

“Three-foot Jade!”

“Thousand Year Kill!”

The cultivation techniques and moves unfolded, the altar ablaze with the flash of blades and swords, the fierce fluctuations of Primordial Spirits wreaking havoc, leveling the ground around the altar.

Watching the destruction caused by these cultivators, Li Xiaobai nodded in satisfaction. These people were going all out, utterly disregarding the damage to the Array Formation Sect, and their full-powered attacks did bring a nice sum of Attribute Points to the System.

[Attribute Points +3000…]

[Attribute Points +8000…]

[Attribute Points +10000…]

[Attribute Points: 30000.]

Allocate them all to defense!

[Defensive Power: Half-step Human Immortal Body (70,000/10,000,000) (Immortal Spirit Qi: Not Obtained) Upgradable.]

“The higher the cold, the lonelier it feels to be invincible.”

Li Xiaobai shook his head with his hands behind his back, expressing a sense of regret.

The cultivators exploded in an instant.

“How is this possible? Our attacks are completely ineffective; what sort of sorcery are you using?”

“Magic Treasure, he must be carrying an incredibly powerful Magic Treasure that can withstand our attacks; it has to be from Elder Tianwu!”

“Step aside, let me do it. With my Mahayana Realm cultivation level, I will take this boy’s head today and put an end to this farce!”
