Chapter 1702
Eye-Catching
Chiyou has really tried very hard. Whether it's the area of pollution or the power it has accumulated, it is quite powerful.
If it were placed elsewhere, it might actually have succeeded.
Unfortunately, it was unlucky and encountered Li Zhirui, who was extremely effective at controlling it.
In addition, since the Chiyou invasion of the Wanxuan Realm was relatively recent and its strength was somewhat weaker than his, the current situation has occurred.
Although the pollution black tide still appears powerful and terrifying, and even launches attacks from time to time, it cannot harm the purification area.
Anyone with eyes can see that this is nothing more than a death throes before its inevitable decline.
"He actually did it!"
Tu Gang raised an eyebrow in surprise. Although he had previously chosen to trust Li Zhirui and given him the Pure Dao Heavenly Stone, thinking that there might be some back and forth, he did not expect that Li Zhirui would decide the final outcome so quickly.
Li Zhirui, who was the center of attention, was also in very poor condition. He was panting heavily, his face was pale, and he looked like he had reached his limit and was about to collapse.
"Luckily, I'm a cut above the rest..."
After saying that, he closed his eyes and quickly regained his composure.
……
at the same time.
The Golden Immortals who had been observing the situation outside the Yin and Evil Land had their brows furrowed and their expressions were not good.
Clearly, the Yuntian Sect's smooth progress made them very dissatisfied.
Because they didn't want to see the Yuntian Sect purify this land and gain a lot of merit, while they themselves would gain nothing.
However, they dared not let themselves ruin the current favorable situation, as any action would leave a trace, and with so many cultivators present, it was impossible for them to kill them all.
If the Yuntian Sect reports this to the Immortal Alliance, not only will they be severely punished, but their entire faction will also be punished.
In this respect, the Immortal Alliance has done a very good job.
"Who was the first cultivator to make a move and use a secret technique? Was he a disciple of the Yuntian Sect?" a Golden Immortal asked in a deep voice.
As bystanders, they have a clearer view of the situation on the battlefield. Although the Black Tide of Pollution is still powerful, it is now outwardly strong but inwardly weak and unable to change the overall situation.
The cause of all this was the Xuanxian cultivator who was meditating in the center of the domain.
"Judging from his clothes, he should have no connection with the Yuntian Sect."
When various factions act collectively, they wear clothing that represents their identity. This is not only to unite and rally the people, but also to better distinguish friend from foe on the battlefield and avoid being caught unharmed.
"Tu Gang is quite lucky; he actually managed to encounter a cultivator who practices the Purification Law."
Like cultivators in most worlds, few people in the Myriad Profound Realms cultivate the Purification Law, which offers little benefit to combat power.
At least among these forces, there are no cultivators who practice the Purification Law.
What they didn't know was that it wasn't that Tu Gang was lucky to encounter Li Zhirui, but rather that he had sensed the existence of the Yin and Evil Land early on and came to Flower Mirror Immortal City.
"Ugh!"
One of the Golden Immortals sighed helplessly and said, "Things have come to this point, the outcome is already decided, there's no need for us to stay here any longer."
"Let's go."
They originally came along hoping to use this great battle to better understand the Yin and Evil Land, so as to obtain more detailed information for their own future actions to deal with this place.
To everyone's surprise, the Yuntian Sect was about to succeed on its own.
In this situation, they no longer need to stay here.
The faces of these Golden Immortals were not very good. Without saying a word, they transformed into rainbow light and quickly left.
"Ah!"
Their actions were naturally observed by Tu Gang, who could guess what they were thinking and felt utterly disdainful.
If it were him, he definitely wouldn't stand idly by!
Whether it's because they are fellow cultivators and don't want to see evil spirits pollute the Immortal Alliance's territory, or because they want to gain merit, he will lend a helping hand instead of having his own petty, unsavory thoughts like them.
"Everyone, prepare for a counterattack!"
Tu Gang gave a light shout, instantly rousing all the cultivators to their feet.
They did not expect that this great battle would end so quickly, and that the process, while seemingly risky, was actually far safer than any ordinary battle.
Moreover, they all realized that as long as they solved the black tide of pollution in front of them, they would reap considerable benefits.
Therefore, they don't need to be forced by others; they are very proactive, even somewhat impatient, in using their methods.
In an instant, everyone displayed their unique abilities, and colorful spiritual lights appeared on the battlefield.
While it can't eliminate evil spirits and impurities at their root like purifying spiritual light, it can still cause some harm.
Thus, through the efforts of the purification domain and all the cultivators, the originally pitch-black, dense, and terrifying black tide, which could rise dozens of feet high, began to shrink at a visible speed.
Especially after Li Zhirui recovered and took control of the purification field, the black tide of pollution dissipated even faster.
"No! I'm not reconciled! How could I possibly lose!"
The demon, who had been hiding in the shadows from beginning to end, broke down and started screaming.
Clearly, it was unwilling to accept this outcome.
However, when the black tide was less than one-tenth of its original size, it regained its composure. Even if it was unwilling, Chiyou would not stay here to wait for death.
Therefore, it eventually reclaimed the last remaining source of evil and filth, activated the secret technique it had reserved within its body, tore open a small spatial rift, and transformed its body into black light, disappearing into it.
The moment it reclaimed its origin, the black tide, which had been reduced to only one-tenth of its original size, collapsed on its own, turning into wisps of black mist. In the next instant, it was completely wiped away by a purifying spiritual light.
at the same time.
The other monsters scattered in other parts of the Myriad Realms seemed to sense something, and they all suddenly looked up, their eyes showing surprise, shock, and a hint of schadenfreude.
"That piece of trash, Chiyou! He's only been in this world for less than a month, and he's already been kicked out. It's utterly disgraceful!" one of the monsters said disdainfully.
The other monsters reacted similarly, filled with disdain.
They didn't feel sorry for Chiyou, or think it was unlucky or encountered special circumstances. They only knew that Chiyou was quickly discovered and was driven out of the Myriad Profound Realm in a very sorry state, so it was a piece of trash!
Waste is not worth their time to think about or investigate the reasons behind it.
So they quickly shifted their focus back to themselves, expanding their territory and increasing their strength.
……
Yunjingzhou.
The previously sinister place has not only returned to normal thanks to the efforts of Li Zhirui and many other cultivators, but has also been nourished by the power of purification, becoming even purer and cleaner.
It's a pity that the mastermind behind this wasn't brought down, and we don't know if it will make a comeback in the future.
"Fortunately, you were there in this battle, otherwise we might have repeated the same mistakes and suffered another defeat." Tu Gang looked at Li Zhirui and said earnestly.
If the situation had been more serious, all the cultivators present would have met a tragic end. Especially the rogue cultivators, most of them would probably have perished here, and it would have been impossible for them to not only survive but also receive a meager share of merit.
"Senior, you flatter me. Even without me, the cultivators would have won in the end," Li Zhirui said modestly.
"Don't be modest. With or without you, the battle situation would be completely different." Tu Gang shook his head.
If he hadn't participated in this great battle, the cultivators might have ultimately won, but it certainly wouldn't have been as simple as it is now.
The Yuntian Sect will likely have to exert all its strength, along with the help of other forces, to have any chance of achieving a hard-won victory.
After all, the pollution here is too terrible. If you are not careful, you will be infected. If you do not receive timely treatment, you may die!
Li Zhirui simply smiled and didn't say anything more.
But at this point, no one paid any attention to him anymore.
hum!
The vast, sinister land has been purified; it's time to reward those who have contributed.
Sure enough, as soon as Heaven finished its reckoning, a huge beam of golden light of merit descended. As it approached the cultivators, the beam of light began to disperse and enter their bodies.
Li Zhirui naturally received the most merit.
He alone attained nearly 50% of the virtue!
It is evident that, in the eyes of Heaven, he contributed the most effort and made the greatest contribution in resolving the issue of the Yin and Evil Land.
ho-
Therefore, when everyone saw the golden light of merit entering Li Zhirui's body, they gasped in surprise and couldn't help but feel jealous.
Although they had witnessed firsthand how hard Li Zhirui had worked and paid the price to combat the black tide of pollution, in their eyes, they were not much different!
Especially when comparing themselves to the other party, how can they accept the difference of hundreds of times?
As Li Zhirui absorbed merit, he felt the undisguised jealousy, greed, and resentment in the eyes of the surrounding cultivators, and his heart skipped a beat.
So after he had temporarily gathered his merits, he immediately opened his eyes and said, "Now that this matter is settled, I will take my leave."
This dispelled his original idea of staying in Yunjing Prefecture, and he decided to leave immediately.
The main reason is that he made a big splash this time, not only gaining a lot of merit, but also possessing a Taiyi Golden Immortal-level spiritual artifact, as well as a large number of purified lotus seeds that he took out during the purification of the Yin and Evil Land.
Merit cannot be easily taken away by others, but spiritual objects and lotus seeds are not subject to such restrictions!
There was a possibility that Golden Immortal cultivators would come down to hunt him down, so he had to hide in the crowd before those powerful forces could react.
After saying that, without caring whether Tu Gang heard her or not, she transformed into a ray of light and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Should we chase after them?
Some cultivators couldn't help but have the same thought: they knew that Li Zhirui was in very poor condition, and if they really caught up with him, they would likely defeat him and those spiritual creatures.
Upon thinking of this, several cultivators' breathing became quite rapid.
"go!"
Immediately, a cultivator let out a low shout and flew at top speed toward the direction where Li Zhirui had disappeared.
Several other cultivators followed him.
"Uncle-Master, why aren't you making a move?"
Even a disciple of the Yuntian Sect was somewhat tempted, saying, "Isn't your Pure Heaven Dao Stone in his hands?"
"I'm not entirely confident that I can defeat them."
Tu Gang shook his head slightly and said, "Since that's the case, why not forge a good relationship?"
"What!?"
"How is that possible!"
The disciples of the Yuntian Sect couldn't help but gasp in surprise, unable to believe that this was the reason.
A Golden Immortal cultivator, lacking absolute confidence in defeating a Profound Immortal? If one hadn't experienced it firsthand, they wouldn't believe it at all.
"Let's go." Tu Gang shook his head slightly without explaining.
In fact, as early as when he first communicated with Li Zhirui in the main hall of the city lord's mansion, he had already had the idea of taking him down.
But as soon as the thought arose, a force stopped him. He sensed that he had no way to catch the other party, let alone obtain a way to resolve the evil land from him in this way.
It was for this reason that Tu Gang, a dignified Golden Immortal, spoke to Li Zhirui in a polite and courteous manner.
Even now, he still can't figure out what means or methods the other party has to dodge an attack from a Golden Immortal at close range.
However, the matter is over, and Li Zhirui has already left. Even if he wanted to know the reason, there's no way to find out now.
After all, the other party was not a cultivator from Yunjing Prefecture, and probably would not come here again in the future.
……
Two flowers bloom, one branch each.
On the other side, Li Zhirui, who had already left the purification zone, stopped flying at high speed and chose a secluded corner to disappear into the space.
What he didn't know was that shortly after he entered the space, two or three groups of cultivators arrived.
Judging from their aggressive demeanor, they clearly didn't intend to have a friendly exchange with him.
"What about people?"
"The tracking technique ends here, as if it vanished into thin air."
The cultivators exchanged ideas, trying to pool their resources to see if they could find Li Zhirui or pinpoint his location.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard they tried, the compass needle just kept spinning wildly, unable to determine an accurate direction.
"How could a Xuanxian cultivator interfere with the secrets of heaven?"
A certain monk looked at a certain pointer and said incredulously.
"impossible!"
"How do you explain this situation?"
The cultivator remained silent for a moment, then said, "It may be beyond the range of the compass's perception."
But this raises a question: Si Nan's perception range exceeds 50,000 li, so how did Li Zhirui appear 50,000 li away in such a short time?
"Fine, let's just consider it a wasted trip and go our separate ways."
The strongest cultivator sighed helplessly and left on his own.
The other cultivators also did not linger nearby, flying away one after another. (End of Chapter)
