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

Chapter 116 Killing the Enemy: A Small Gain or a Small Loss?

"Boom boom boom..."

Within the great formation, a deafening roar resounded.

Outside the great formation, the weather was fine and sunny.

The situation inside and outside the formation is completely different.

Of course, besides the commotion within the formation, there were also developments outside.

For example, within half an hour, cultivators' escape lights arrived at this nameless island one after another.

There were only a few people, about ten.

They were all cultivators who had been practicing in seclusion on hundreds or thousands of islands in the surrounding sea area.

The pair with the highest cultivation level were a couple in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

This duo is like twin brothers, very similar in their clothing and other aspects.

"Fellow Daoist, is there a master who has reached the Core Formation stage here?"

Of the two brothers, the older one, the middle-aged man, pointed to the location of the great formation and spoke.

Han Li, who was being questioned, was currently preoccupied with controlling hundreds of puppets to work with his Sha Dan clone to kill the scarred man in the formation. He had no time to talk to anyone else.

Therefore, he merely glanced back briefly, then calmly offered his advice:

"This is not a good place; you should all leave quickly."

He was initially very polite to complete strangers.

just.

The two brothers, who were in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, refused to leave with the group of Qi Refining cultivators. Instead, they smiled and tried to get closer to Han Li.

They were about to reach within a hundred feet.

"Are you two sure you don't want to leave?"

Han Li asked calmly.

"Fellow Daoist, why don't you leave?"

The two brothers gave a soft snort to express their displeasure.

They're not stupid.

Someone must have reached the Core Formation stage in this place before.

If the person attempting to form their core were a member of a cultivation family or a powerful force, they would never choose such a remote place lacking spiritual veins. The fact that they chose this location suggests that the person attempting core formation is merely a rogue cultivator.

The disappearance of the celestial phenomenon of Core Formation means that the other party has either successfully formed their Core or failed to do so, suffering severe damage to their vital energy, or even perished.

However, if that person successfully forms their core, this formation in front of them will not appear.

A newly promoted Core Formation expert would not allow a Foundation Establishment cultivator to disturb his meditation by stimulating the formation from outside.

In other words, most people who attempt to condense the elixir fail.

The best outcome of failing to form the elixir is severe damage to one's vital energy and mental exhaustion.

They coveted the substantial wealth of a failed Core Formation cultivator.

"Fellow Daoist, why don't the three of us visit the senior within this cave together..."

The younger of the two brothers tempted him.

This time, Han Li's face turned cold:
"Noisy!"

Because the Reversed Five Elements Array is a small-scale forbidden array, it has the added function of isolating internal and external fluctuations. As long as the person controlling the array wants it, the internal movements can be kept largely undetectable to outsiders.

Otherwise, why would these two Foundation Establishment cultivators dare to linger here?

Not to mention they wouldn't even consider targeting the cave dwellers who created this place.

It is simply the opposite of Tiangang.

In any other place, Foundation Establishment cultivators would avoid Core Formation cultivators. These two, however, mistakenly believed his Core Formation clone had failed to condense its core, and actually came to pick up his scraps?
court death.

Within the Inverted Five Elements Formation, the Demonic Core clone entangled the scarred-faced man, while the remaining half of the puppets continued to provide fire support. Taking advantage of this opportunity, dozens of level 2 beast puppets, a dozen level 3 giant wolf puppets, and two level 4 giant tiger puppets withdrew from the formation.

The two brothers were startled when they saw dozens of puppets suddenly burst out of the formation.

Upon seeing that these puppets were completely controlled by Han Li, he was immediately terrified.

How could they not know how foolish their brother had been?

"Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand..."

The response to the two was an overwhelming barrage of firepower.

There were hundreds of compressed spiritual energy projectiles and blazing beams of light.

In particular, the two giant tiger puppets, after being replaced with mid-grade spirit stones, unleashed blazing beams of light over ten feet thick. Such beams could even threaten cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage, let alone when both giant tiger puppets went berserk at the same time.

"Come on."

After the two brothers unleashed their respective defensive magical artifacts, they fled to the south and north respectively.

Unfortunately, how could any escape technique be faster than a blazing beam of light?
Not to mention the suppression from the numerous other firepower sources.

"Hmph, you think you can come and go as you please?"

Han Li narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly.

"don't want…"

The two, whose escape space was compressed by various beams of spiritual energy and light bullets, were engulfed by the giant tiger puppet's blazing light pillars in the next instant. Before they could even scream or beg for mercy, they were burned to charred remains and fell onto the beach a mile away.

This scene caused the cultivators who were still gathering here to stop their escape and turn around and leave in fear.

joke.

They came here seeking opportunities, not to offer comfort.

After resolving the minor external troubles, Han Li focused even more intently on dealing with the Core Formation cultivators from the Pang family within the formation.

A lineup capable of even attempting to kill a level 6 demon beast shouldn't be unable to handle a mere early-stage Core Formation cultivator.

"Fellow Daoist Li, it's a misunderstanding, let's talk this out..." The scarred-faced man begged for mercy while calling for help from his family.

However, all the distress signals were intercepted by the Reversed Five Elements Formation. Well, even if the distress signals were successfully sent, he couldn't count on his family's help. Because the family's territory was tens of thousands of miles away, even if the message reached them, even if they immediately sent people over, it would still take a considerable amount of time.

During this time, he could die several times over.

"Fellow Daoist Li, this is truly a misunderstanding...!"

However, Han Li remained completely unmoved.

The offensive showed no signs of slowing down.

The five giant tiger puppets and the fifty giant wolf puppets are formidable. The tiger puppets' blazing beams consume one mid-grade spirit stone for every two shots, demonstrating their immense power. The wolf puppets' attack beams also require one mid-grade spirit stone for every ten shots, and their power is equally considerable.

Dozens of Foundation Establishment stage puppets are veritable energy consumers.

The combined attack struck the small magical shield and the magical energy shield that Scarface had conjured, causing the shield to sway precariously and the magical energy shield to tremble violently from the heat.

Moreover, the puppet attack was not the main force; the real main force was the Sha Dan clone, the Green Radiance Sword, and the Water-Fire Gourd.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

The Green Radiance Sword cuts through everything in its path.

Each strike can destroy a precious artifact or even a top-tier magic weapon that is just short of being perfected.

“Ang ang…”

The water and fire gourd then extends into two dragons, one blue and one red, symbolizing killing and destruction.

The blue dragon, which is twenty or thirty feet long, is a dragon corroded by the Kui Water. If its flesh and blood come into contact with it, it will be poisoned and corroded into a pool of black water.

The crimson dragon, twenty or thirty feet long, was an extremely hot fiery dragon, capable of extinguishing even spiritual flames and earth's core fire; it was a flame on par with alchemical fire. Any flesh and blood that came into contact with it would instantly turn to ashes.

In addition, lightning occasionally bursts out of the gourd's mouth.

Those were some controllable explosive mines that Lei Wanhe had left inside years ago.

There are twelve in total.

Each dazzling explosion, each ultimate sublimation, is comparable to the thunderous explosion of a lightning bolt.

"How could this be?"

"How could a newly promoted Core Formation cultivator possibly possess a finished magic weapon? Especially one that has been nurtured by a Core Formation cultivator for at least a hundred years..."

Not right.

unusual.

unreasonable.

It's just too unreal.

"Damn it, bastard, if you've got the guts, release the formation and let's have a fair fight..."

Before he died, Scarface was furious.

If it weren't for this cumbersome array restricting his many abilities, if his attacks could penetrate the array's seven layers of colorful barriers and land on the newly promoted Core Formation cultivator and the hundreds of puppets, he believed he could defeat them one by one, turning the danger into safety and ultimately achieving victory.

pity.

There aren't that many "what ifs" and "what ifs".

He struggled for another quarter of an hour before his magical power and true essence were finally exhausted under the intense firepower.

"It's over...!"

As he was beheaded by the Green Radiance Sword, Scarface self-destructed his golden core, destroying his storage bag and his natal magic weapon.

All that remained was the small magical shield that hadn't been detonated in time.

In this regard.

Han Li didn't care.

He wouldn't even look at the paltry sums of a mere early-stage Core Formation cultivator.

If the other party hadn't been greedy and provoked him first, he wouldn't have bothered to interact with such a stranger.

Moreover, when the other party self-destructed, he was even relieved that he hadn't become overly smug and went forward to humiliate him, but instead had swiftly and decisively struck down the opponent. Otherwise, he would certainly have been caught in the crossfire of the self-destruction.

"Walk."

After putting away the Reversed Five Elements Formation, he picked up the small magic shield with its dim spiritual light, and then casually cleaned up the battlefield and wiped away the traces.

After finishing.

Han Li nimbly slipped into the underwater tunnel he had dug years ago, getting a hundred miles away from the island.

In the blink of an eye, it swam away and disappeared into the distance.

Don't stay here for long.

After going around in circles, it was essentially a matter of exchanging two or three hundred mid-grade spirit stones, a skull talisman, and two mid-grade talismans for a small magic shield worth over ten thousand spirit stones.

I guess I made a small profit?

wrong.

Two or three hundred mid-grade spirit stones in the Chaotic Star Sea, which is equivalent to 30,000 spirit stones, have purchasing power comparable to 150,000 to 160,000 spirit stones in the Southern Lands.

In other words, he actually lost out a little.

"A second-hand magic javelin and a second-hand magic shield, one on its own, is a small loss, but together they are a small profit."

...

half a month later.

Xiaohuan Island in the waters off Kuixing Island.

There are two islands here, one tall and one short.

Han Li used an earth-遁符 (earth-遁符, a type of talisman) to infiltrate the interior of a relatively large and high mountain, where he carved out a cave dwelling. Inside the cave, he specially built several insect breeding rooms and a small medicinal herb garden.

After placing the various spirit insects collected by the Core Formation stage of the Yuling Sect into the insect chamber, the Sha Dan clone piloted the Flowing Cloud Boat and headed straight for the Star Palace Tianxing City.
