I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, So I’ll Max Out My Defense

Chapter 737: 738: A Master from the Upper Realm Appears



The Firecracker Thunderclap was far too dangerous, emitting an unstable and dangerous aura all over; Li Xiaobai, after playing with it for a while, carefully stored it into his Space Ring.

Several days passed on the Immortal Spirit Continent, and although peace prevailed, everyone knew that an unprecedented era of darkness was about to sweep across the skies.

On this day, strange noises once again emanated from the cracks in the firmament.

“Guan Junhou arrives!”

A shrill, piercing voice resonated through the heavens, spreading across the entire Immortal Spirit Continent, signaling the arrival of a powerful figure.

That single phrase was enough to reveal the depth of the speaker’s strength—far surpassing the half-baked disciples of before, at the very least belonging to the Human Immortal Realm.

“King Weiwu arrives!”

“The Seventh Princely Heir of the Great Flame Dynasty arrives!”

“The Sixth Princely Heir of the Sword Dynasty arrives!”

“The Sixth Princely Heir of the Li Dynasty arrives!”

“…”

One after another, the calls echoed through the sky, each sentence representing the arrival of an esteemed and formidable personage, a spectacle that the Princely Heirs of the other day couldn’t match.

The shrill voice called out over ten times before stopping.

Below, Li Xiaobai and the others felt a slight sinking sensation in their chests; if mere servants could possess such expansive divine skills, what sort of beings were their masters?

This time, those descending from the Upper Realm were likely not limited to the Human Immortal Realm.

True big shots had arrived!

“Hmm? Why can’t I sense the presence of my son?”

“The aura of our sect’s disciples is also undetected, where have they gone?”

Cultivators whispered to each other in hushed tones.

“Creatures of the Earth Spirit Realm, why haven’t you come forward to pay homage?”

“From today onwards, the Earth Spirit Realm will be overseen by my Central Origin Realm, I am an Elder of the Sword Sect, and I have come here specifically to handle the realm’s development from now on.”

“The beings of the Earth Spirit Realm must quickly choose a representative to come forward and receive the command!”

A servant, holding an imperial edict high, spoke indifferently from a lofty position.

“That would be me, elder sirs. If you have any matters, just tell them to me,” Li Xiaobai said, his face betraying neither joy nor sorrow.

“Starting today, all matters big and small in the Earth Spirit Realm will be directly managed by the great dynasties of the Central Origin Realm. Henceforth, the great sects of our realm will establish branches here to gather labor for mining veins in the Central Origin Realm—this is a rare opportunity that only comes once in a millennium for you.”

“Furthermore, if any disciples with commendable aptitude are found, the great sects will also proactively absorb fresh blood, which can be considered some form of enlightenment for this uncivilized Barbaric Lands,” the servant said nonchalantly.

“Today, the Great Flame Dynasty, Sword Dynasty, and Li Dynasty will act as the vanguard forces stationed in the Earth Spirit Realm, taking charge of various affairs for the time being. Since you are the leader of the Earth Spirit Realm, kneel down to receive the decree!”

The servant held aloft the imperial edict, his eyes filled with the arrogance of a superior, his tone icy cold.

“Sorry, I do not have the habit of kneeling to receive edicts; just throw the decree over here,” Li Xiaobai said nonchalantly, with his hands behind his back.

“You insolent fool, the imperial decree is personally issued by the royal family; how dare you, a lowly pig, defy it? Do you wish to be exterminated along with your nine familial generations?”

The servant was instantly enraged, lashing out with a palm strike that sent a colossal palm print hurtling down towards Li Xiaobai.

[Attribute Point +200,000…]

The casual blow from a being of the Human Immortal Realm was extraordinary, far more powerful than the old beggar and the Vice Leader.

If it were not for his improved defensive power, that palm strike might have caused him severe injury.

“Hmm?”

“A mere Barbaric Land has actually given birth to a Human Immortal Realm expert, truly inconceivable.”

“What is your name?”

Above, King Weiwu looked at Li Xiaobai, his eyes revealing a trace of surprise as he asked.

“I am Li Xiaobai.”

“You are quite impressive to have broken through your cultivation level in such harsh conditions; your talent is extraordinary. From now on, you may follow me and serve as a menial worker.”

King Weiwu nodded slowly as he spoke.

“King Weiwu is willing to take you as a menial worker, why are you not kneeling down to receive the order and thank him for the grace!”

The servant’s face changed as he stared at Li Xiaobai, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes. After all, King Weiwu is a Prince of the Great Flame Dynasty, with the strength of an Earth Immortal; to serve him as a servant is an immense fortune!

“I appreciate the Prince’s kind intention, but unfortunately, I am not accustomed to serving as someone’s lackey, I prefer to make my money standing up.”

Li Xiaobai slowly shook his head as he spoke.

“There are many who consider themselves above others in this world, but most are washed away by the river of time. Young man, you might reign supreme in this small Barbaric Land, but in the Central Origin Realm, you wouldn’t even count as a grasshopper, easily trampled and crushed.”

“King Weiwu is a direct Prince of the Great Flame Dynasty with overwhelming power. Countless cultivators wish to serve him as servants. It’s good for a young person to have backbone, but do not be blindly confident, otherwise, it’s merely a joke.”

“This is your chance to leap over the dragon gate; you should seize it, do not make a mistake!”

Guan Junhou spoke out. Among them, King Weiwu was the person of the highest status; everything revolved around following his lead.

Seeing Li Xiaobai’s attitude, he also felt displeased. Just a pig-deer from the Lower Realm, and yet acting so high and mighty before them, it was simply absurd.

“It seems that the so-called experts of the Central Origin Realm are just a bunch of opportunists. You have allowed power to erode your minds, and it seems that your cultivation has now reached its limit.”

Li Xiaobai sneered, unconcerned.

Talking about making people kneel and serve as slaves as if it’s nothing, who do you think you are?

“That’s not for you to decide. Tell us the whereabouts of the disciples of various tribes, and this Prince will spare your life!”

King Weiwu spoke indifferently, casually extending a finger and gently pressing down. In an instant, Li Xiaobai knelt on one knee, directly smashing a large hole in the ground.

[Attribute Point +500,000…]

“Pfft!”

“So this is the strength of the Earth Immortal Realm? With but a casual effort, such terrifying power… If he were to strike seriously, wouldn’t the Attribute Points break a million?”

“However, if the other party were to really strike with full force, I’m afraid even taking Elixirs would not be fast enough to heal his injuries.”

Li Xiaobai spat out a mouthful of blood, hurriedly took out a stack of Heavenly Fragrance Life-extending Pills, and after reversing the injury, felt a bit better.

A flicker of shock passed through his eyes, and he resolved that in the future, upon encountering beings of this level, he must first run in respect!

“You see, you can’t even handle a single finger from this Prince, so what capital do you have to be arrogant?”

“Become this Prince’s servant and obey nicely, and surely you won’t lack benefits.”

King Weiwu spoke calmly.

“Husband!”

At his side, Long Xue cried out in alarm, quickly rushing in front of Li Xiaobai, her Bloodline Power erupting as dark purple dragon scales instantly covered her body, her eyes flickering with a fierce light.

“If you dare touch my husband, I won’t let you off!”

“Hmm? Such pure Bloodline Power, it seems to be of the Dragon Race!”

Now it was King Weiwu’s turn to be moved.

“I didn’t expect to find such high purity Dragon Race blood in the Lower Realm, comparable to those true major power disciples. Today has really brought a treasure!”
