Just as he used the "Shrinking the Earth to Inches" technique to depart, his expression turned unsightly.
With that single step, he had already entered a Void Refining Space.
Coming into view were divine statues formed from five immortal mountains—it was that old Daoist Puci from the Ethereal Immortal Sect!
Beyond the immortal mountains were the painting scrolls of Dongfang Xuan, the Old Man's Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva, Nangong Xianliu's massive Gold Ingot, and even... a golden bowl and chopsticks used by an old beggar.
Within this Void Refining Space, there were even cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm present.
These Dharma treasures and spirit artifacts, which he would normally not even deign to look at, had now become the first line of defense blocking his path, surrounding him completely!
"Good! Good! Good!"
The Zhao Clan Ancestor laughed loudly.
"How dare you, Azure Cloud cultivators, try to trample upon me?
I am of the Integration Realm!
Retreat immediately, and I will let bygones be bygones!"
No one answered, causing the Zhao Clan Ancestor's expression to turn grim.
Until, Within the Void Refining Space, a streak of black mist appeared.
Li Wei imitated Li Chang'an's refined and elegant demeanor.
"Wrong. We call this 'beating a drowning dog.'
Furthermore, there is no 'hereafter' to speak of.
I am going to grind your bones to dust and scatter the ashes, you son of a bitch!
I'll dig out your heart and bury it in the damn cesspit of Prince Qian's former residence!"
"You are courting death!" The Zhao Clan Ancestor's eyes bulged with rage.
"Kill him!"
Li Wei let out a stern shout and instantly utilized "One Thought" to charge forward.
He thrust his spear, yet in that very instant, Li Wei narrowed his eyes—his neck was already being gripped by the Zhao Clan Ancestor!
He had clearly filled his body to the brim with the Spiritual power of the Azure Cloud people, and yet... it was useless!
There seemed to be an unbreakable wall surrounding the Zhao Clan Ancestor.
"With just you? With just the likes of you all?"
The Zhao Clan Ancestor laughed towards the sky.
"The distance between Void Refining and Integration is like a heavenly chasm!
To say nothing of you lot, who are merely at the Void Refining and Divinity Transformation stages. You..."
"What are you doing?" His expression froze.
Li Wei withdrew the North Star Spirit-Breaking Spear and the Pagoda, allowing his Spiritual power to surge forth and envelop the two of them together.
"Do you know why I set up so many defenses?"
Li Wei's Spiritual power continued to erupt, crashing chaotically within his own body.
"I fought Zhao Tingyu many times and learned a move.
I use it even better than he did.
This move is called..."
"Embrace of Mutual Destruction!"
Li Wei's hand clamped onto the Zhao Clan Ancestor's wrist!
The Zhao Clan Ancestor's eyes bulged wide.
He struggled violently, attempting to break free from Li Wei.
He could sense that this man, shrouded in black mist, was not joking—but it was too late.
His immense Spiritual power severed the black mist man's hand, yet he could not escape the range of the man's Spiritual power.
As the words "One Thought" were spoken, his mind wandered for a split second, and then...
"BOOM!!!"
Firelight filled the heavens, causing the expressions of the Azure Cloud people maintaining the various formations to change drastically.
This was the self-destruction of a Void Refining cultivator!
Even though the Li Family Old Ancestor had long since set up defenses, the aftershocks were still immensely powerful!
The barrier formed by the Wine Maniac Jin Yuan's bowl and chopsticks shattered instantly, and he was blasted out of the Void Refining Space by the powerful Spiritual power.
But in merely the blink of an eye.
Amidst the firelight, light and shadow flickered.
It was the Zhao Clan Ancestor—he was actually... unharmed!
"Bastard! Bastard!"
Amidst his angry curses, the Zhao Clan Ancestor was already anxious to flee.
Yet before he could make a move, both he and the many cultivators maintaining the formation changed their expressions.
A burly man, built like an iron tower, charged into the Void Refining Space!
This person was covered in the Wu Qi of the Wu Clan and Devil Qi.
That ant at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm took advantage of the moment when the Zhao Ancestor's Spiritual power was momentarily chaotic from the Li Family Old Ancestor's explosion to charge forward while simultaneously detonating his True Qi.
"BANG!"
The self-destruction of a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm was nothing more than a firecracker.
But...
"It's my turn! My turn!"
Inside the Void Refining Space, men and women built like iron towers appeared one after another.
Giving him no time to react, it was the Seven Ironclads and the Blood Demon Lord!
As soon as one group self-destructed, more would appear in succession!
The self-destruction of the Blood Demon Lord, who was at the Divinity Transformation realm, managed to cause the Zhao Clan Ancestor's Spiritual power to stagnate for a brief moment every time.
"Ants! You ants! How dare you toy with me?!!"
"Why wouldn't we dare?!!"
The black mist emerged within the space once again!
Only this time, Li Wei did not charge into the center of the blast zone.
The members of the Li clan entered the Void Refining Space one after another.
Li Dalong's boundless Sea of Blood surged forth, gradually reinforcing this Void Refining Space.
Xu Cuihua transformed into her fox form; her seductive fox eyes stared fixatedly at the Zhao Clan Ancestor, unsettling his mind.
Li Yaozu utilized Zhao Wan's bell, unleashing wave after wave of sword glare to disturb the Zhao Clan Ancestor's mind.
Li Yaoqing cast the Divine Wood Art; a green mist permeated the space, ceaselessly replenishing everyone's Spiritual power.
Li Yaotie summoned the Divine Tree of Heavenly Fire, wielding a massive hammer to reinforce the structural integrity of the entire space.
Li Yaowen moved her fingers as if plucking zither strings; whenever the Zhao Clan Ancestor fell into a trance, white mist would manifest around his heart.
Li Yunlin and Fairy Hongxiu arrived in unison.
Li Yunlin chanted incantations, bombarding the Zhao Clan Ancestor again and again with the techniques he had inherited from Ming Daozi.
Fairy Hongxiu's sea of Red Spider Lilies descended upon the ground, each vibrant blossom brimming with corrosive power.
Li Yunbing's Overlord Domain could only suppress a fraction of the Zhao Clan Ancestor's faint Spiritual power, yet it was still better than nothing.
The "Three Scoundrels" used divine talismans to summon old seniors to slay the enemy.
Li Tianyi played music within the formation, Li Tianqi used turtle shells to cast array formations, and Li Tianming reverted to his "honest and well-behaved" appearance, manipulating spirit tools to attack from a distance.
Every now and then, Li Changsheng utilized the Human Emperor's Eyes.
Together, the members of the Li family suppressed the Integration Realm Zhao Clan Ancestor within this Void Refining Space.
The Zhao clansmen, marching to their deaths one after another, had used their lives to force out every single one of the Zhao Clan Ancestor's trump cards, allowing the Li family to discover his weaknesses.
And now.
They only needed to grind the Zhao Clan Ancestor to death!
"No, no, no! Let me out!
I want to achieve the Mahayana realm!
I want to ascend to Immortality!!!"
The Zhao Clan Ancestor roared furiously inside the space.
Wave after wave of spells poured down like a torrent.
The Li family's Seven Ironclads and the Blood Demon Lord self-destructed time and time again, leaving even him exhausted from merely trying to cope.
As the Zhao Clan Ancestor ran out of ways to respond...
...
Three days later.
"Kill him! I..."
Inside the Star Domain, Li Wei subconsciously threw a punch, causing the vacuum in the distance to tremble.
He froze for a moment, then rubbed his face vigorously with both hands.
He looked again at the intense battle scene on the computer screen.
As expected, he had been killed by the Zhao Clan Ancestor again.
