Chapter 412: Chapter 230: Return! Preparation Before Nascent Soul!

This axe, descending from above with flashes of cold light, seemed to tear through the void.

The surrounding air even carried the sound of a howling wind.

Feeling the hints of death descending, Xiao Yongting felt as if he were falling into an icy cavern.

He swiftly brought out a khaki-colored cauldron and placed it above his head.

Stream after stream of light fell, securely enveloping him within.

Just as he had finished doing all this,

The Divine Axe swiftly struck the Defensive Magical Treasure.

“Crack…”

The cauldron was instantly cleaved in two, its spiritual light dimmed, falling toward the ground.

Subsequently, the Divine Weapon’s momentum unabated, slashed towards Xiao Yongting’s body.

“Ah…”

In Xiao Yongting’s eyes filled with despair, the axe light quickly penetrated his chest.

With a scream, his entire body was split in two, his blood staining the skies as his corpse fell toward the ground.

From the moment Lu Li caught up to the fall of Xiao Yongting, everything happened in an instant.

With this strike, Lu Li had also stimulated two strands of the Power of the World, and together with the Divine Weapon in his hand, he achieved such a feat.

With his first-tier strength, launching a full-force surprise attack allowed him to kill the opponent instantly.

Just then, many cultivators in pursuit of Xiao Yongting arrived not far behind.

Seeing this scene, their faces were shocked.

“Leave behind the treasures!”

Wang Shoukun’s face filled with a killing aura, his tunneling light flashed, and his speed increased significantly once again.

He had barely managed to get He Yunsong to spit out the Crystal Core, and the events took several unexpected turns completely beyond his expectations.

At this moment, anger had already overwhelmed his heart.

Lu Li sneered, quickly collected the Storage Bag on the ground, and then with a flash of blue lightning, he disappeared into the nearby jungle in the blink of an eye.

Not far away, He Yunsong, seeing this, also looked at Wang Shoukun with a face full of mockery.

The other party’s schemes and plans still ended up benefiting others.

This made him quite pleased.

“Ah…”

Watching the departing figure of Lu Li, Wang Shoukun suddenly roared, his face ferocious, his eyes filled with tangible murderous intent.

“No matter who you are, even if you hide at the ends of the earth, I will find you and roast your soul in demonic flames for myriad years…”

Lu Li paid no attention to the impotent rage behind him, his speed increasing once more.

In just a few flickers, he had escaped beyond the reach of everyone’s Divine Sense.

Seeing this, Wang Shoukun and the others stopped in their tracks, not pursuing further.

“Does anyone recognize this person? Such tunneling techniques couldn’t possibly belong to an unknown person.”

Wang Shoukun scanned the crowd, his eyes fierce.

The group of men in black all shook their heads, their faces bewildered.

“This person seems to have suddenly emerged; he is not known among the first tier of Golden Core cultivators.”

“From now on, we will investigate this person with all our might.”

Wang Shoukun’s voice was chilling.

Cold light flickered uncertainly in everyone’s eyes.

Subsequently, the group exchanged a few words and then turned and departed.

……

Lu Li flew onward until, several hundred miles later, he reached a vast barren land.

He swiftly descended and took out a golden Flying Sword, digging into the ground.

In no time,

A cave several meters wide was formed.

He immediately jumped in and used the soil to cover the entrance.

Then he concentrated on concealing his aura, the surroundings becoming utterly silent.

He removed the Storage Bag from his waist, activated his Divine Sense, and quickly expelled the foreign Divine Sense attached to it.

Sweeping through it again, inside were densely piled numerous Spiritual Objects and Spirit Stones.

In a corner, a large Crystal Core lay quietly on a pile of ore, surrounded by seven smaller Crystal Cores.

“This is a fortune.”

Lu Li’s face lit up with joy.

With these two large Crystal Cores, he could immediately begin his breakthrough upon leaving.

From the beginning of his Qi Refinement Realm journey, treading on thin ice, he was now only a step away from the Nascent Soul.

He had been waiting for this moment for over a century.

Without further thought, he quickly transferred all the Spiritual Objects and Crystal Cores from the Storage Bag into his inner world.

And placed some Crystal Cores entirely into the refining cauldron, saving only two in his own Storage Bag.

These two he planned to keep as spoils from this minor world venture.

After all, Ancestor Mo had contributed a lot, and he still needed to use the Ancestor’s Transmission Token to return; keeping everything to oneself was not quite proper.

A moment later,

Lu Li collected his thoughts, took out the Token from the Storage Bag, and immediately activated it with Divine Power.

Fizz…

Streams of spiritual light twinkled, illuminating the entire cave.

Gradually, the spiritual light grew more and more brilliant.

Even the space around began to tremble.

Immediately following, an unknown force of space firmly enveloped Lu Li, pulling him towards the outside world.

The external space also emitted increasingly intense forces of repulsion.

“Whoosh…”

A few breaths later, Lu Li instantly disappeared into the depths of the cave.

Just as Lu Li vanished, the soil above was immediately dug open.

Four black-clad figures stood by the cave, their faces full of killing intent.

“There’s information from the Transmission Token; someone has left again…”

“It seems that person has completely left this place…”

Then the two turned around and shot towards the high sky.

In the blink of an eye, they disappeared at the edge of the cave.

The surroundings returned to calm again.

……

In the skies above a strange sea area,

Suddenly, a handsome young man appeared.

The man, in a white robe with long black hair draped over his shoulders, looked extremely carefree.

It was Lu Li, who had returned from the minor world.

His gaze scanned around, noticing that this place was not far from a large island.

He immediately began to activate the communication Token in his hand.

Fizz…

As the Token slightly flickered, it did not take long before two streams of tunneling light swiftly flew in from the sea ahead.

Within a few breaths, they arrived not far in front of Lu Li.

Revealing two beautiful women, it was Mo Qingyan and Zhao Sitong.

Seeing Lu Li’s safe return, Zhao Sitong’s face lit up with joy, and she quickly flew towards him.
