Chapter 636: Chapter 450: Exhale Proudly_2

"Damn it." The female cultivator panicked and hastily activated her protective magic artifact.

But it was too late.

Li Yi’s blazing fist light already enveloped her. In an instant, an eerie, piercing scream escaped her throat. Her entire body was ignited, burning to ashes at an incredible speed. Then, with a gust of the fist wind, her remains completely dissipated into nothing, leaving only a dull, lackluster spiritual artifact that fell to the ground.

"Evolver from Golden Academy, what are you doing? How dare you openly kill a cultivator from Xuanxian Continent! Are you trying to break the peace between the two realms and bring about a great disaster?" On a flying boat not far away, a man observed this shocking scene, his eyelids twitching madly in disbelief.

Lately, it wasn’t unheard of for Evolvers to rebel against the oppression they faced, yet with several God Transformation experts overseeing the situation, none of these uprisings had amounted to anything significant. The end for those who resisted was always tragic.

Could it be that today another Spirit Power Realm Evolver had chosen to go down the path of mutual destruction?

"I am the calamity, and it’s you who summoned me here." Li Yi’s face was icy as he cast a sidelong glance. "As for you, you’re no virtuous soul either. Your Divine Sense was one of those scanning me just now, wasn’t it?"

With that, he raised his hand in a smooth motion. His mana intertwined with Gang Qi, transforming into a blade aura interwoven with crimson and white light, slashing forward in an instant.

The man had been prepared and immediately utilized his defensive spiritual artifact.

BOOM!

A tremendous explosion echoed.

Even with the protection of a spiritual artifact, the man let out a pained scream as he was blown backward, spitting a mouthful of blood. His whole body emitted smoke, as though it had been scorched by an intense heat.

"Such audacity! A Spirit Power Realm practitioner bullying a Foundation Establishment cultivator—what kind of behavior is that? Do you have the stomach to face me on the Magic Battle Platform?" At that moment, a Golden Core cultivator flew in on a sword. He hovered high in the sky, shouting angrily at Li Yi.

Li Yi turned around, his tone calm. "When you all attacked me, no one held back because I was only at the Soul Realm. On the contrary, you sent Golden Core cultivators to chase me across dimensions, bullying the weak—hasn’t that always been the tradition of Xuanxian Continent? You conniving cultivators born with deceit in your blood, today I am here to settle old scores."

"Wait, I remember now. It’s you... the one who killed Lin Caiyi and escaped across dimensions—Li Yi! Zhang Yihua failed to kill you?" The Golden Core cultivator’s face shifted in shock and anger as the memory dawned on him.

Back then, Zhang Yihua had crossed dimensions to hunt him down, and everyone thought the matter was over. After all, no matter how strong Li Yi was, he couldn’t possibly evade the pursuit of a Golden Core cultivator. Yet now, Li Yi not only survived but returned more powerful than ever.

Did this mean that Golden Core cultivator Zhang Yihua had failed in his mission and met with misfortune?

"That dead Golden Core cultivator’s name was Zhang Yihua? Hmm, unfortunate—I don’t know him, nor do I know you. But no matter, who bothers remembering the names of the soon-to-be-dead?" Clouds materialized beneath Li Yi’s feet as he slowly rose into the air from the flying boat, unable to suppress the bloodlust pouring from him.

Sensing something was amiss, the Golden Core cultivator immediately used Divine Sense to send a message to nearby allies.

This Li Yi, from his dimensional journeys, seemed to have gained some extraordinary fortune and was nothing like other Spirit Power Realm Evolvers. The Golden Core cultivator didn’t dare face him alone.

Soon, his transmission reached other nearby Golden Core cultivators.

"Is it true? Li Yi, the one who killed Lin Caiyi and tricked Taixian Weng out of the Glazed Golden Light Mirror, has returned? Excellent—I’ve been longing for this moment."

"Zhang Yihua failed to kill him across dimensions? Likely met a tragic end. This Li Yi seems to have undergone significant changes—his strength has grown exponentially. Looks like he’s stumbled upon some monumental opportunity."

"Then let’s kill him and take what’s his. After all, he was the one who attacked first. Even if things escalate, there will be no justification for his actions."

Before long, beams of light shot out from the flying boat as the Golden Core cultivators responded, appearing one after another.

In mere moments, over a dozen Golden Core cultivators gathered in the air.

They released their auras without restraint, their bodies glowing with spiritual artifact radiance, ready to strike at any moment.

"Now that you’re all here, let’s cut to the chase. Take this move from me first. If you survive, we’ll talk after."

Li Yi showed no mercy. With a booming roar, twelve strands of Heart Fire Qi surged into the heavens, instantly painting the skies above Golden Academy a vivid red. This astonishing Heart Fire Qi was then devoured into his body in one massive breath.

"What?"

That single display left the Golden Core cultivators’ faces pale with shock.

These mana fluctuations had already surpassed the realm of Golden Core cultivators. And for such a terrifyingly intense heat to be consumed directly was a danger beyond imagination.

"He’s already at Nascent Soul level! Scatter!" someone cried out in panic, desperate to utilize a blood shield to flee.

But it was too late.

"Call Wind!"

The Heart Fire Qi in Li Yi seemed to manifest his seething rage from these past days. Once released, it erupted like an inferno, engulfing dozens of square kilometers in the blink of an eye. The terrifying spell left the Golden Core cultivators with no room to dodge or escape. The Heart Fire Qi burrowed through their orifices, incinerating their internal organs and destroying their Primordial Spirits.

The first to fall was the Golden Core cultivator who had challenged Li Yi earlier. He tried to block the attack with his magical artifact, but the pervasive flames infiltrated every gap. His face turned crimson, black smoke poured from his chest, and a blood-curdling scream marked his demise. His entire body was reduced to nothing, and his Golden Core vaporized to ash.

The others fared no better, their Golden Cores burning in the flames as they howled in pain. One after another, they plummeted from the sky like dumplings dropped into boiling water.

Before they even reached the ground, the wind scattered them into dust. Only a few glowing spiritual artifacts hovered in mid-air as remnants of their existence.

Under Li Yi’s Wind Summoning Technique, the dozen-plus Golden Core cultivators couldn’t even last a single exchange. Most perished instantly, save for a lucky few who relied on defensive spiritual artifacts to barely escape the range of the flames.

Even so, they were not unscathed. Black smoke continuously wafted from their bodies, as though they were on the verge of spontaneous combustion, while a scorching fire Qi raged within their Golden Cores, leaving them writhing in agony.

"So, Golden Core cultivators are no better than this. From now on, the tides have shifted." Li Yi exhaled the last of his Heart Fire Qi, feeling a surge of relief.

Though his cultivation corresponded to the Golden Core Stage, his mastery of Daoist skills made slaying these opponents feel as effortless as slaughtering chickens.

The reason was simple.

Because Daoist cultivation was stronger.

By mastering such a cultivation method, the traditional advantages of Immortal Cultivation were neutralized. Furthermore, Li Yi’s arsenal of top-tier Tao Skills, combined with the immense mana provided by the Divine Martial Path, resulted in utter domination.

"Chongxu Taoist, save me!" One Golden Core cultivator, wreathed in black smoke, fled desperately toward a flying boat.

At that moment...

A Daoist emerged and caught the fleeing Golden Core cultivator. He sent a wave of mana with hopes of stabilizing the cultivator’s core, but his face quickly changed as he withdrew his hand in alarm.

A burst of Heart Fire Qi erupted, nearly seeping through his skin to invade his body.

CRACK!

The next moment, the cultivator’s Golden Core shattered, and he screamed in agony before dying on the spot.

His body then combusted in mid-air, leaving not even a trace behind.

"What a tyrannical spell! A true demon! You Evolvers from Earth are indeed born as Demon Cultivators. If I don’t kill you today, you’ll surely bring calamity for millennia!" Chongxu Taoist glared at Li Yi, brimming with killing intent.

Li Yi, unfazed, replied coldly, "Spare me the talk. Are we settling this now, or shall we take it to the Magic Battle Platform to decide life and death?"

Slaying a Nascent Soul cultivator would serve as an adequate test of his strength.

Chongxu Taoist narrowed his eyes. It was evident that this Li Yi had ill intentions. He was aware of the previous debacle where several Golden Core cultivators ambushed a Soul Realm cultivator, a dishonorable act. Yet, in less than two months, Li Yi had returned, crossing dimensions stronger than before.

And upon his return, he crushed Golden Core cultivators as if they were nothing.

The transformation was simply astonishing.

Evolvers from Earth indeed possessed terrifying potential. Once armed with profound cultivation techniques and initiated into dual cultivation methods, they became not just invincible among their own realms but capable of challenging higher realms. Now, Li Yi showed no fear, not even of a Nascent Soul cultivator like himself.

Could it be that Li Yi even dared to confront God Transformation experts?

"To the Magic Battle Platform! I, Chongxu Taoist, will end you, demon, in an honorable fight!" Chongxu Taoist’s expression shifted as he shouted decisively.
