A Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu Transmigrates into a Book, the Dao Ancestor of Rein

Chapter 115 Provocation, Magical Battle, and the Encirclement and Killing Formation
"Stop? Hmph, you expect me, Pang, to stop in my own territory?"

The scarred man who was intercepted snorted coldly and took the initiative.

Upon seeing the Demon Core clone again, his eyes immediately lit up:
'Huh? Why is this Core Formation cultivator's aura so weak?'

The clone's aura wasn't deliberately concealed; its initial Core Formation stage energy was released outwards without any disguise, like a beacon in the darkness. Crucially, compared to a normal Golden Core cultivator, the clone's initial magical power was slightly weaker.

"Was that the Golden Core you just condensed on this island, fellow Daoist?"

The big man suddenly became kind as he said this.

Upon seeing this, the clone of the Demonic Core became extremely wary.
"What's wrong? Is there something amiss?"

"This place is under the jurisdiction of my family. Fellow Daoist, you have come uninvited and formed your core here without permission, which has put me in a very difficult position."

The scarred man grinned.

The young man before him was merely a newly promoted early-stage Core Formation cultivator, his realm unstable, and his magical power even slightly inferior to that of a normal early-stage Core Formation cultivator. In contrast, he himself had been a Core Formation cultivator for nearly two hundred years, long past the bottleneck of the early-stage peak. In terms of magical power cultivation, he was far superior.

That gives them at least a 30% chance of winning.

Furthermore, he possessed a natal magic weapon that he had refined over many years, as well as other rare treasures and ordinary items. The person before him, on the other hand, had definitely not yet refined his own natal magic weapon; at most, he possessed a few top-tier magic artifacts.

This undoubtedly increases his chances of winning by 30% to 50%.

Furthermore, in terms of secret arts, whether it is killing techniques or flying skills, he has been specializing in them for two hundred years. How could he be inferior to a newly promoted junior in the early stage of Core Formation?

Should they start fighting? The other side would definitely be no match for him.

Escape? There's no way the other party could escape from him.

Thus, the odds of winning are now 120% in front of them.

'The advantage is mine! '

He's determined to eat this lump of fat!
"Then, what does fellow Daoist wish to do?"

The clone patiently smiled apologetically.

"Compensate Mr. Pang's family with ten thousand spirit stones, and Mr. Pang will let this matter rest..."

The burly man spoke with ill intent.

Even at this point, the scarred man didn't forget to use the powerful Pang family, a major cultivation clan in this sea area, as a deterrent. He wanted to instill fear in outsiders before the fighting even began, making them hesitant and restrained in their attacks.

The Pang family is said to have several Core Formation cultivators.

It is one of the major immortal cultivation clans in the nearby sea area.

The patriarch with the highest cultivation level was also the previous patriarch of Kui Xing Island decades ago.

He has the cultivation level of the mid-stage Core Formation realm.

When Han Li heard about the so-called Pang family, his heart did feel a slight tightness for a moment.

just.

The more this person used his family to oppress him, the more murderous he became.

"Is the Pang family really this domineering?"

The purchasing power of 10,000 spirit stones in the Chaotic Star Sea is comparable to that of 60,000 to 70,000 spirit stones in the Southern Sky.

There is no doubt that the other party is making an exorbitant demand.

How could a newly promoted Core Formation cultivator possibly have so much wealth?
The fact that it's been brought out only makes it more coveted.

"It seems you're unwilling, fellow Daoist..."

The scarred-faced man put away his playful smile and took out a javelin, a magical weapon.

One look at the intricate runes surging on the tip of the spear and you know that this magical weapon is quite powerful.

"and many more."

Han Li, using the eunuch's clone, waved his hand.

He sensed the other person's ill intentions, but he refrained from turning hostile.

The clone of the Demonic Core is only there to buy some time. As long as we can buy him a few more minutes to set up the formation, it will be a tactical victory. Therefore, it's okay to be a little cowardly.

This is not.

A corner of the island.

The main body just happened to rebury the array plate of the Inverted Five Elements Array, which was about to be dug out, back into the ground.

"Om..."

A hundred feet underground, the array plate returned to its place.

A chill ran through Han Li's face.

He looked up at the scarred man outside the island and gave a cold snort.

After sharing the information, the clone of Sha Dan outside the island stopped playing along and immediately began swearing:

"You bullying bastard, if you've got the guts, come and bite me! If you don't destroy me today, I'll wipe out your entire family tomorrow. You piece of trash, garbage, a clown who only knows how to bark, a shameless piece of trash, a despicable wretch who has a son but no face to hide..."

As the clone of Sha Dan retreated rapidly, it also frantically spammed punctuation marks.

Before retreating to the cave area, they threw out a small flag with the words "idiot" clearly written on it.

Once they reach the Core Formation stage, these high-ranking cultivators, who are respected and admired by lower-level cultivators and thus seem detached from worldly affairs, have never experienced such insults and provocations.
That's practically like going all out right in front of someone's face.

in situ.

After hearing the words spoken by the Demonic Core clone, the scarred-faced man was first stunned, then his vision went black as he flew into a rage.

fury:
"You scoundrel, how dare you!"

humiliation.

shame.

What a disgrace!

Originally, his intention was to intimidate this person, making the newly promoted Core Formation cultivator believe that he had summoned nearby clansmen for support, causing the man to panic and flee. In this way, whatever arrangements were made on the island would become mere decorations due to the loss of their master's control.

But now.

He couldn't wait any longer, and he didn't care about anything else.

Besides, he was just a junior in the Foundation Establishment stage before, so what kind of formations or techniques could he possibly set up?
He just wanted to kill this bastard who spewed filth as soon as possible.

"Die to me."

...

Han Li had never cursed like this during the Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment stages, nor had he ever used such a mind-altering tactic.

However, when he reached the Core Formation stage and his own cultivation was inferior, he instead chose to provoke the other party with a shrewish outburst.

Anger is good.

When you're angry, you tend to overlook many details, making you more likely to make mistakes.

For example, what if the opponent plunges headlong into the area covered by the Inverted Five Elements Formation?

However, his idea was good.

The insults are also quite unexpected.

But a Core Formation cultivator is still a Core Formation cultivator; their mental fortitude and composure are extraordinary.

After being momentarily blinded by anger, he quickly regained his senses and stopped chasing after Sha Dan's clone to the island.

Seeing this, Han Li could only sigh with regret.

Pity.

"We originally planned to use the advantage of the formation to wage a war of attrition and wear this person down. Now, we have no choice but to use our trump card."

The Qiankun Tower Talisman and the Invisible Needle Talisman are both lost every time they are used.

He doesn't want to use it unless absolutely necessary.

at the moment.

Since the other party had decided to kill him and steal his treasure, how could he possibly keep it a secret?

"Delay brings change."

Just as Sha Dan's clone was about to fly out of the cave, he used the Green Radiance Sword and the Water and Fire Gourd to engage in a head-on battle with his opponent. He then used a fragment of the silk handkerchief magic weapon to conceal his attack while activating the talisman from the side, giving his opponent a big surprise.

However, before the eunuch's clone could take flight, the scarred-faced giant made his move first.

They tentatively hurled the javelin-like magic weapon towards the cave area.

Upon seeing this, Han Li was not surprised but rather pleased: It's good that you made a move.

Immediately, he waved the main battle flag and mobilized the power of the Inverted Five Elements Formation.

In order to lure the enemy deeper into his territory, he only mobilized half of his power.

This also meant that the suddenly rising array of light failed to block the javelin-like magic weapon.

The light barrier was pierced through and then plunged into the earth.

next moment.

The violent spiritual energy surged underground, erupting like a volcanic eruption.

The area within a radius of several tens of feet was lifted up.

"hold head high…"

A red dragon soared through the gushing lava, and the flying rocks and strata were instantly ground to dust by the fiery dragon.

The violent, murderous spiritual energy raged, destroying all life within a radius of several dozen feet.

"Is this the method of Core Formation cultivators in the Chaotic Star Sea?"

Han Li, protected by the clone of the Fiend Pill, narrowed his eyes slightly upon seeing this scene.

He could intuitively sense that this person was stronger than many early-stage Core Formation cultivators on the Golden Drum Plain battlefield.

Li Huayuan, Li Shishu, is probably no match for this person.

"Luckily, I was prepared and buried the array plates and flags deep enough. Otherwise, I would have made a mess of things."

Nearly a hundred feet underground, numerous small orbs of light circled around, protecting the array plates and flags in a massive ring. The foundation of the great array deep underground remained unaffected and undamaged.

"It's rude to come and not reciprocate."

A skull-shaped talisman was activated and bit into the javelin-shaped magic weapon.

In response, the javelin, a powerful weapon, neither dodged nor evaded, but thrust forward forcefully.

Han Li narrowed his eyes upon seeing this.

He immediately activated all the remaining spiritual power of the Skull Talisman without reservation.

This treasure, which could have been used three more times, will be gone after this use.

At the same time, two Azure Condensation Mirrors appeared, shooting out two beams of light that landed precisely on the javelin that was being held tightly by the skull formed from the talisman.

Next, there were two intermediate-level gold thread talismans.

Numerous golden threads shot out from the talisman, quickly enveloping the javelin magic weapon completely.

"Certainly!"

The combination of the talisman, the mirror light of the two Azure Condensation Mirrors, and the golden threads of the talisman can theoretically greatly limit the power of the magic weapon.

"Humph."

How could the scarred man allow his magic weapon to be suppressed and taken away?
After giving a soft hum, he prepared to recall it.

But it was at this moment that the light barrier of the Inverted Five Elements Array was rapidly repaired, and the broken opening was about to be completely healed.

Once the gap is closed, a large array will separate the magical artifact from its owner, significantly reducing the connection.

Therefore, it's really hard to say whether the javelin, this powerful weapon, will change hands.

"not good."

Scarface knew inwardly that something was wrong.

Careless.

Unexpectedly, this person not only possessed profound knowledge of formations and remarkable skills in them, but also had a strange and wondrous treasure called the Skull Talisman, which was specifically designed to restrict the treasures of others.

"We cannot lose the Cloud Piercing Javelin."

Although it wasn't his natal magic weapon, it was still a powerful treasure.

If it's lost, it would truly be a case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead.

Therefore, he flashed into the Inverted Five Elements Formation, thus neutralizing the formation's blocking effect...

"Oh no! We've been tricked! There's something strange about this formation!"

The burly man's expression changed drastically.

Before entering the area himself, he didn't realize how remarkable this formation was. In his previous opinion, the person who set up the formation was just an unknown rogue cultivator at the Pseudo-Core Formation stage. Could he really produce such a powerful formation?
Once inside, his divine sense could no longer probe his surroundings; he felt completely isolated from the world by the array. Only then did he realize how terribly wrong he had been.

Only then did I realize how extraordinary this great formation was.

"This is... a forbidden array?"

The big man felt his mouth was dry.

Looking at the location of the Demon Core clone and Han Li, his expression was extremely ugly:

He was tricked.

"Now, it's my turn."

Han Li flashed out of the formation and ran outside. He also took the magic spear with him, adding more binding measures before the skull's effect wore off, to prevent any accidents.

The clone of Sha Dan held the Green Radiance Sword in one hand and the Water-Fire Gourd in the other within the formation.

The sword revealed its sharpness, its shadow flashing as several sword beams slashed away.

The gourd spout opened, releasing both water and fire, along with a series of exploding lightning balls.

Then came five giant tiger puppets, fifty giant wolf puppets, and dozens of leopard puppets. Immediately following this were hundreds of scorching beams of light and fiery compressed bombs that bombarded the scarred man trapped in the formation.

He wanted to see whether the other party had more magical power or he had more spirit stones.

　Writing 10,000 words a day is still too tiring.

　　Hey guys, give me your votes! Let me see hope and keep this going!
