Chapter 637: Chapter 451 Insolent Remarks

Chongxu Daoist, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, was well aware of the stakes involved. Even though Li Yi had taken the initiative to kill more than a dozen Golden Core cultivators in one breath, the best way to eliminate Li Yi was to face him on the Magic Battle Platform. If he acted rashly, it could instantly escalate into a war between two realms.

Although their investigation over the past month had revealed that the divine being was not from Earth, the fact remained that it still deliberately protected this place. Small skirmishes were acceptable, but if things got out of hand and that divine being crossed realms to strike, shattering the Xuanxian Continent, they would all bear the blame.

"Fine, then let’s settle it on the Magic Battle Platform. It’ll also let the people from Xuanxian Continent understand that wantonly oppressing others comes with a price." Li Yi agreed immediately. With backing now, he wasn’t afraid of any tricks the other party might pull.

Chongxu Daoist said coldly, "You demon, you started by killing more than a dozen of our cultivators. While our actions may have been somewhat improper, we never sought to take your life. You’re truly an ungrateful wretch."

Li Yi stared at him and said, "That’s because they were useless, unable to withstand a single blow from me. Moreover, your lack of intention to kill wasn’t out of mercy but out of fear. If there weren’t that bit of apprehension, the people of Xuanxian Continent would be no different from bandits and robbers. Anyway, I have no interest in discussing this further. Victory and defeat dictate everything, as it has always been since ancient times. If you can’t fight back, talking about fairness is delusional—dead men don’t seek justice."

"Is Taixian Weng’s Golden Light Glass Mirror in your possession?" Chongxu Daoist asked coldly, unwilling to engage further with Li Yi, and instead changed the topic abruptly.

Li Yi said, "It’s with me. Want to duel for it? You’d better bring an equivalent treasure as your stake."

He didn’t bother to deny it, in fact, he encouraged the other party to bring a treasure for their duel. This way, he could walk away with an additional artifact and also test the difference between Dao Artifacts and regular treasures.

"Hmph, see you on the Magic Battle Platform in ten minutes. Don’t even think about running away."

Chongxu Daoist snorted heavily. Although he really wanted to kill Li Yi immediately, considering the demon’s strength and some formidable techniques, he dared not act arrogantly and needed time for preparation.

"Run away? I came across realms to settle scores with my enemies. Shouldn’t it be me worrying about them running off? If you need to prepare, go ahead and scram. You people from Xuanxian Continent are all like this—always loving to play tricks, keep aces up your sleeve, hiding in shadows like cowards, outwardly arrogant but afraid of death deep inside."

Li Yi wasn’t the least bit courteous in his scolding.

"You..." Chongxu Daoist flew into a rage, but quickly regained his composure.

He wouldn’t let himself be provoked by a few words. Since life and death would be decided on the Magic Battle Platform, he had to prepare thoroughly. After all, survival was the key to continuing cultivation and achieving immortality. Failing due to impulsiveness would be true stupidity.

Without further words, he flicked his sleeve and immediately turned and left.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, he logically shouldn’t have been qualified to own a treasure. However, he had been rewarded by his sect with a low-grade treasure for his trip to Earth. But that alone wasn’t enough.

To cleanly defeat this demon, he must seek help from a Divinity Transformation senior to ensure absolute victory.

How did Lin Caiyi die?

It was because her preparations were insufficient that she was countered and killed by Li Yi, who was then only at the Soul Realm. Afterward, he thoroughly analyzed the duel, learning that Li Yi was no ordinary individual, adept at concealing his trump cards, very much like the cultivators from Xuanxian Continent, and not the straightforward type like Martial Artists.

Indeed, Earthlings who had entered demonic cultivation were something else—extremely troublesome.

Seeing Chongxu Daoist leave, Li Yi didn’t say much, instead directly ascended on a cloud of spiritual energy, heading straight for the Magic Battle Platform.

Meanwhile, nearby flying boats began to move, as Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators immediately soared into the air one after another. Hovering in midair, they coldly stared at Li Yi, their Divine Senses locking onto him.

With just a quick scan, there were no fewer than ten Nascent Soul cultivators.

Their forces had grown several times stronger compared to before.

"What now? Do you Nascent Soul cultivators also want to come and die? Here’s an idea: after I kill that Daoist, why don’t you all take turns on the Magic Battle Platform? I’m up for it all day!" Li Yi stopped on his cloud, turned, and shouted provocatively.

"Bold words from an Evolver at the Spirit Power Realm. Gained some kind of fortuitous encounter and you dare act this recklessly? Killing more than a dozen of our Xuanxian Continent Golden Core cultivators—now, at the brink of death, you still lash out arrogantly! If it weren’t for Chongxu Daoist being the first in line, I would have already cut you down."

A man dressed in black formal robes with flowing sleeves stepped forward in great strides. With a single step, he stomped onto the void, shaking the firmament. His imposing aura wasn’t like that of a mere cultivator, but rather a battle-hardened invincible powerhouse.

"Yuan Ye, there’s no need for you to step in. I’ve defeated Spirit Power Evolvers before. This man is so haughty—allow me to kill him." A sharp-eyed man with a treasure sword strapped to his back descended through the air. His gaze was like two beams of sword light piercing straight into one’s soul, evoking dread.

Li Yi narrowed his eyes as he recognized the man: "I remember you. Your name is Li Chengyu, a sword cultivator. Last time, the Spirit Power Martial Artist Luo Tianyou lost to you, costing Golden Academy a complete miracle item. That Dragon Scale is still with you, isn’t it? Come, let’s duel. If I lose, I’ll give you Taixian Weng’s Glazed Golden Light Mirror. If I win, you’ll leave your life and the miraculous Dragon Scale in my hands."

Unexpectedly, Li Chengyu had advanced to Nascent Soul Realm after being out of sight for only two months.

As suspected, he must have been at the peak of the Golden Core Stage last time, and obtained the Dragon Scale, which led to his fortuitous breakthrough.
