BXBX NOVEL Chapter 243
“This formation seems to hold some tricks, and Li Su is skilled in formations. It might be linked to this Elemental Magnetic Barrier. We should proceed with caution. Sun Dong, there’s no need to rush. Watch me dismantle the formation,” the man in his fifties said, gently raising his hands.
They witnessed a surge of elemental energies within the vicinity, stirring the entire environment. A vast, transparent, invisible mirror gradually materialized in the sky. This mirror was massive, similar to an invisible concave mirror. Sunlight from the sky suddenly focused on this concave mirror, converging into a single beam.
This technique resembled what Li Su had employed when aiding the Western Sea Clan, harnessing the sun’s power. However, the method utilized by this Refinement Void elder was even more astonishing, with a range extending for thousands of miles. It truly showcased the prowess of a Refinement Void cultivator, concentrating sunlight from thousands of square miles into a formidable beam aimed at the protective formation of the Flying Immortal Sect.
The beam’s intensity was astounding. Gazing at it was more dangerous than staring directly at the sun because sunlight typically scattered, while this concentrated beam remained incredibly focused. Silently, the beam struck the protective formation of the Flying Immortal Sect. The entire Flying Immortal Peak grew brighter, but the temperature in many areas dropped as all the heat was absorbed. The protective formation began trembling rapidly, and the consumption of spirit stones surged.
“This is not good!” The Sect Master’s aunt’s expression shifted. At this consumption rate, the protective formation wouldn’t hold much longer.
“Everyone, bring out your spirit stones and channel your spiritual energy into the formation with all your might!” urged the Sect Master. All the spirit stones from the Flying Immortal Sect’s storeroom had been relocated and now formed a mountainous pile in the square of Flying Immortal Peak. Disciples took out spirit stones from their storage bags. Even the Sect Master contributed to many of them. They channeled their spiritual energy into the protective formation, striving to sustain it longer.
It wasn’t the right time to activate the natural wind and water formation.
“In dire times, even beasts fight back. Sun Dong, keep an eye on Li Su,” the Refinement Void elder from afar advised, opting for a simple and cautious approach in case any unexpected issues arose with the protective formation.
None of the Refinement Voids were simple, even if their talents weren’t exceptional. Those who had lived as Refinement Voids for years possessed various methods and were more cautious. Their experience meant they didn’t underestimate their opponents, even fellow Refinement Voids.
The formidable beam of light continued its unrelenting assault on the protective formation of the Flying Immortal Sect. Suddenly, a streak of light in the southern sky raced towards them at incredible speed. The imposing aura of a Peak Nascent Soul cultivator emanated from it.
“It’s Li Su, and he has reached the Peak Nascent Soul stage?” The Refinement Void elder exclaimed as he sensed Li Su’s spiritual pressure.
According to his information, Li Su had recently reached the Nascent Soul stage.
“He’s indeed a genius. Elder Jing, leave him to me.”
“Just stop him. Don’t create unnecessary trouble that might attract intervention from the Canglan Realm,” Elder Jing replied.
“Elder Jing, rest assured, I’ll handle this appropriately,” Sun Dong, the other Refinement Void cultivator, assured. He flew out suddenly, and as he did, numerous stars appeared in the sky, forming a massive web to intercept Li Su’s approach from the south.
“Genius or not, it doesn’t matter!” Sun Dong sneered, feeling that Elder Jing’s caution was excessive.
“A mere protective formation of the Flying Immortal Sect, and they’re still so cautious, even worrying about attracting the interference of powerful individuals from the Canglan Realm when dealing with Li Su. Today, I won’t rest until I’ve beaten you half to death, Li Su!” Sun Dong aimed to injure Li Su severely, and if no powerful individuals from the Canglan Realm intervened, he might even go for the kill.
The multitude of stars rushed towards Li Su, forming star-shaped treasures, exuding incredible power. In response, Li Su expanded the protective screen of the Green Cloud Mirror to block those star-shaped treasures, simultaneously unleashing the Flying Immortal Sword.
Half of these Flying Immortal Swords targeted Sun Dong and the other half aimed at Elder Jing.
“You’re arrogant!” Seeing that Li Su not only blocked his treasures but also focused on attacking Elder Jing, Sun Dong unleashed all his firepower. He formed hand seals, causing the stars to transform, creating a chaotic dance of stars to counter Li Su’s Flying Immortal Sword.
However, Sun Dong’s expression immediately changed because, despite the brilliant display of the stars, he couldn’t block all of the Flying Immortal Swords. In the distance, Elder Jing raised his hand, and numerous small shields formed a barrier to block the Flying Immortal Swords. Li Su had already rushed over, launching even more intense attacks. Countless Flying Immortal Swords formed a curtain of swords, charging towards Sun Dong. His face turned ashen, and he had to activate his defensive treasures while launching a counterattack.
As a Refinement Void cultivator, being at a disadvantage in the first exchange was something Sun Dong couldn’t tolerate. Even more unbearable was that Li Su’s main focus was not on him but on attacking Elder Jing, who controlled the mirror, posing a significant threat to the Flying Immortal Sect. If their formation broke, no one inside could escape the natural forces surrounding them.
“Die!” Sun Dong unleashed more techniques, and the battlefield echoed with constant clashes, spreading repercussions across thousands of miles, deterring Nascent Soul cultivators from intervening. The prowess of Refinement Void cultivators was evident.
Yet Li Su remained in control, fending off Sun Dong’s numerous techniques while continually attacking Elder Jing.
“Damn it!” Sun Dong was immensely frustrated despite using all his power, offensive treasures, spells, and incantations. He even harnessed the surrounding world and elements. Sun Dong couldn’t gain the upper hand against Li Su. What irked him more was that Li Su was mainly targeting Elder Jing.
Sun Dong couldn’t accept being defeated by a Nascent Soul cultivator, and he felt that despite being recruited by that woman, he was still quite average in terms of talent. In more prosperous places, cultivators with average talents could reach higher realms. In the Central Plains, some individuals even reached the Nascent Soul stage. Nonetheless, Sun Dong was ultimately still just a Refinement Void cultivator.
Li Su seized an opportunity in his anger, flicking out several beads and activating large arrays. With a loud rumble, the large mirror in front of Elder Jing began to ripple and even shatter in some areas.
Elder Jing hadn’t expected that Sun Dong’s full power attack couldn’t stop Li Su.
“Your opponent is me!” Sun Dong was furious, but Li Su focused on Elder Jing.
Sun Dong’s frustration continued to mount. He questioned whether Li Su, a Nascent Soul cultivator, deserved the title of a genius. However, Li Su took advantage of Sun Dong’s anger and launched a powerful attack.
