Chapter 729: Chapter 730: Cannibal Ogre Liu Jiannan
 

Above the void, the other disciples from the Upper Realm were shocked beyond measure. The disciples of the three major dynasties, whom they always followed blindly, had just been struck down from the heavens to the mortal world, without the slightest ability to fight back.

Things weren’t going as they had said they would. Weren’t the people of the Earth Spirit Realm all supposed to be uneducated barbarians? How could they possibly have such strength?

They were merely a group of half-baked cultivators, with mixed Spiritual Power and Immortal Yuan within their bodies. How could they have managed to defeat them?

“Why don’t you wretched barbarians respond!”

“I am the thirteenth Princely Heir of the Great Flame Dynasty. Today, I am here on the orders of my master to collect the Immortal Spirit Qi. You all must immediately stop that wild monkey. As soon as my companions arrive, this person will be slain on the spot!”

Prince Yan’s face was pale as he looked up at the ancestors, commanding with an air of entitlement.

The inherent sense of superiority had made him somewhat oblivious to the reality before him as he continued to issue orders.

The ancestors exchanged glances, all seeing the surprise in each other’s eyes. Without speaking out loud, they hardened their expressions and said in a clear voice, “Well done, Liuren, for daring to act against an envoy from the Upper Realm. Today, to preserve the friendship between the Immortal Spirit Continent and the envoys from the Upper Realm, we must seize the Immortal Spirit Qi!”

“No one else shall lay a finger on it!”

With an angry shout, the ancestors’ figures blurred as they immediately surrounded the white flowers in the void, their eyes filled with excitement.

They had been concerned about how to seize the Immortal Spirit Qi righteously. Now the perfect reason had presented itself on their doorstep. By using the name of the Upper Realm envoys as a shield for their involvement, they could ensure the smooth capture of the Immortal Spirit Qi without offending the Upper Realm. It was the perfect opportunity—they couldn’t have asked for a better chance.

“These old fools sure know how to read the room!”

“Withdraw now, and I can spare your lives. Otherwise, do not blame me for embarking on a killing spree!”

Li Xiaobai sneered coldly and casually summoned a Godzilla to carry himself and Long Xue into the sky. The first batch of Upper Realm cultivators were merely appetizers, trivial at best. The real adversaries for the Immortal Spirit Qi were the dozens of powerful cultivators at the Half-step Human Immortal Realm before him.

“Haha, boy, did you really think we were afraid of you? Back on the frontier, we simply didn’t want to get injured before competing for the Immortal Spirit Qi. But times have changed. So long as we obtain the Immortal Spirit Qi, everything will be solvable. This will be a brutal slaughter!”

“Even if the Vice Leader stands on the opposing side, it’s the same!”

The Qi Sect Ancestor was feeling particularly defiant today. No sooner had his voice fallen than dozens of ancestors burst forth with ferocious energy, the wind and clouds billowed, and it seemed as if the momentum of the world had shifted because of them. The already gloomy sky darkened even further at this moment.

At this instant, they held nothing back, no longer cherishing the Immortal Spirit Qi within their bodies, not even their own lives. The Immortal Spirit Qi was their chance to leap through the Dragon’s Gate. So long as they could acquire it, they had a great chance of attaining the Immortal Realm. Then, they would reign supreme over the Immortal Spirit Continent and finally connect with the Upper Realm, no longer having to endure oppression.

Therefore, it was natural for them to fight desperately!

The violent creatures of the Upper Realm in the sky were scared witless, retreating continuously while screeching in fear, feeling an immense threat. Even the other disciples were backing away in utter terror.

A battle of this scale was not something they could intervene in. They could feel that the cultivation levels of these ancestors were all at the Half-step Human Immortal Realm, not much different in strength from themselves, yet the ancestors had an absolute advantage in numbers.

“Do you truly wish to fight me?”

“People will die!”

Liuren said indifferently, swinging his long staff casually.

“Reinforcements for this king are almost here. Withdraw now, and this king may let you off.”

The Old Dragon King spoke steadily with his hands behind his back.

“You scoundrel, Li Xiaobai, as a member of the human race, you collude with the Sea Clan, working together in treachery. You are truly the scum of our kind!”

The Three Sects’ Ancestors were enraged, their impression of the Sea Clan had soured to the utmost, for they would never have imprisoned that Kraken for hundreds of years otherwise.

“Haha, excellent, just like this, fight for the sake of this Princely Heir!”

“You swines of the Earth Spirit Realm, whoever performs well will be granted a Yellow Grade Technique to cultivate at my discretion!”

“Wipe them out for this Princely Heir!”

Prince Yan burst into laughter, with a group of people being supported back into the carriage by servants, their faces twisted with rage and eyes filled with anger.

“Heh, I didn’t expect these people to have some ability, barely matching the aptitude of the miscellaneous disciples from my Upper Realm, but it is merely because they have cultivated for a dozen more years, under the identity of a Crown Prince of my dynasty, submission is the only choice!”

Prince Yan said with a faint smile to the two people beside him, but received no response, causing his brow to furrow slightly as he questioned, “What’s wrong with both of you?”

“Prince Yan, have you not realized yet?”

“After confirming our strengths, these swines no longer have a trace of awe in their hearts, the only reason they pretend to obey us is to seize the Immortal Spirit Qi under the name of our three great dynasties!”

The cold and gorgeous female cultivator of the Sword Dynasty spoke weakly, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes, truth be told, she had not anticipated that the Earth Spirit Realm would turn out to be like this.

Dozens of masters at the Half-step Human Immortal Realm gathered together, with some even daring to attack them, showing no reverence in their hearts.

“Damn it, this isn’t what the master said it would be like, if we knew this earlier, we should have brought another senior brother with us!”

“If there were even one Human Immortal Realm senior brother present, we wouldn’t have lost all face. Once the senior brothers arrive, I swear I will kill all these swines!”

The Crown Prince of the Li Dynasty exclaimed in anger, feeling the defeat by the hands of commoners as a lifelong shame.

“The spatial passageway is not stable enough yet, temporarily incapable of accommodating senior brothers from the Human Immortal Realm to pass through, it’s likely that the master didn’t expect this situation to occur.”

The woman from the Sword Dynasty analyzed calmly.

“It’s of no consequence, we are not the only ones who have come from the Lower Realm, there are three Princely Heirs leading each passageway, once the rest of the Princely Heirs gather here, it will be our time to crush them!”

Prince Yan’s expression was full of indignation; he would never forget Liuren’s casual strike with his staff. He was the Crown Prince of the Great Flame Dynasty, only ever used to ordering others killed, and today, no matter what Liuren’s status was, he must die!

…

Above the vast sky.

Li Xiaobai and his group of four faced off against dozens of elders from afar, with cultivators from the Upper Realm standing to one side, holding their breaths, not daring to make any untoward move.

Off in the distance, streaks of light continued to cross the sky, Elder Ancestors previously hidden now keenly seizing the opportunity to join the battle.

“Liuren, give this old man some face, let me take away this batch of Immortal Spirit Qi, shall I?”

Among the crowd, an old man with white hair and full of bulging muscles, his unkempt beard making him look fierce, stepped forward.

Upon seeing this person, whether it be the ancestors of various races or the cultivators below, they all inhaled a breath of cold air.

“Head of the Treasure Pavilion, the Cannibal Ogre Liu Jiannan!”
