Chapter 720: Chapter 513: Time’s Up

Trapped within the Sword Array, Li Yi showed no fear. He utilized all his Mana to wield the Xuanhuang Seal, enduring the Sword Array’s attacks, and even had room to counterattack.

The ocean roared endlessly, echoing across the sky.

The aftermath of such a magical battle easily unleashed a massive tsunami and storm, altering the climate of the entire area. Luckily, it was uninhabited. If it had occurred in a city, the city would have been utterly destroyed, with countless deaths.

"Goodness, I misjudged. His realm isn’t high, yet his Mana is terrifyingly powerful, and now he holds a mighty treasure. No wonder he dared to provoke a God Transformation expert like me," Master Tianhe’s expression changed slightly.

He only realized how troublesome Li Yi was upon engaging him.

He initially wanted to deplete Li Yi’s Mana in the shortest time possible, tear open a gap in his treasure’s defense, and quickly kill him. But when he saw the Mana soaring into the sky, illuminating the heavens like war smoke, he realized that this guy was truly a freak, possessing such unreasonable Mana at this realm.

"I couldn’t possibly wear him down in a short period. If he really stalls until reinforcements arrive, that would be disastrous."

"Retreat."

Master Tianhe was unwilling to linger, immediately dismissing the thought of killing Li Yi. He intended to retract the Sword Array and leave at once.

As for any treasure, it wasn’t worth it.

Surviving this ordeal was more important than anything.

However, he soon discovered that talismans were breaking through the Sword Array and enveloping the area. The Sword Array, which was meant to trap the opponent, was now counter-trapped by some formation of his opponent’s.

Master Tianhe’s face changed slightly, and he hurriedly manipulated the Sword Array to tear through these talismans and break this formation.

Countless sword lights assaulted him.

A talisman shattered instantly, but soon new talismans flew out from the Xuanhuang Seal, replacing the previous ones.

"Now you want to leave? It’s too late. Under the Xuanhuang Seal, even a God Transformation expert can’t escape." Li Yi shouted. Under the infusion of his Mana, more and more talismans appeared, seemingly intending to cover the sky and suppress the land.

Although Master Tianhe’s Sword Array was fierce, easily tearing through talismans, compared to the myriad descending talismans, his destruction was negligible.

After all, it’s the Cultivation World, and the Inheritance Dao Artifact of the Seven Immortals lineage of the Heavenly Dao Sect. As long as there’s enough Mana, it could instantly kill Master Tianhe. But even though Li Yi’s Mana far surpassed cultivators of the same realm, he couldn’t fully unleash the Artifact’s power. Nevertheless, trapping a God Transformation Realm cultivator wasn’t difficult.

Master Tianhe did have a chance to leave, but he was unwilling to abandon his Sword Array. Slight hesitation allowed Li Yi to seize the opportunity, enveloping him under the Xuanhuang Seal.

"Don’t overestimate yourself. How long can your Mana sustain such a large-scale array? Since you’re determined to die today, I’ll personally send you on your way." Master Tianhe laughed angrily. If he wasn’t concerned about your backing, he wouldn’t think of leaving; he’d wish to be trapped by you.

But now he decided to go all out. Since reinforcements hadn’t arrived yet, it was his opportunity.

"Six Tribulations Unlimited Sword Formation, change formation, follow me to kill!" Master Tianhe suddenly shouted, transforming into a light and merging into the Sword Array.

The next moment, countless sword lights converged, forming a stream of light like a galaxy, rushing straight for Li Yi.

The talismans before him shattered one by one, taking only a few seconds to reach Li Yi.

"Heaven and Earth Qi Gathering Technique." Li Yi also shouted, forming a hand seal, gathering the spiritual energy from all directions, and rapidly channeling this vast spiritual energy into the Xuanhuang Seal. The Sword Array, which was about to strike, was blocked by a thick wall of Xuanhuang light.

Countless Sword Qi crisscrossed, thundering continuously. The God Transformation expert wanted to break the array with one blow and kill Li Yi.

And he nearly succeeded.

Because the sword light was less than three meters away. If this final Xuanhuang light were breached, he would be shredded by countless sword lights instantly, leaving no remains. His survival against Master Chang Yi was purely due to the Jiao Long Armor and his Divine Bloodline.

But the strength of the person before him was even more terrifying than Master Chang Yi’s. Even if Li Yi had the Jiao Long Armor, he’d still perish.

"Cough, cough!"

The massive leakage of Mana, coupled with the operation of the Heaven and Earth Qi Gathering Technique, made it hard for Li Yi’s already injured body to bear such a burden. He couldn’t help but cough up blood. His aura began to wane.

"It’s already commendable for you to last this long. Don’t hold on any longer, just accept your death." Master Tianhe’s voice echoed from within the Sword Array. His Sword Array’s power didn’t diminish; instead, it became increasingly terrifying.

The visible Xuanhuang light was now being forcibly cracked.

The Xuanhuang Seal didn’t fail to protect Li Yi; it was his Mana supply that was insufficient. Facing such potent and dense attacks, the Mana consumption was massive. Only a cultivator with Five Qi Chaoyuan, who blossoms the Primordial Spirit Flower, could fully unleash the Xuanhuang Seal’s might. Then, a single Xuanhuang light could kill the God Transformation expert before him.

"Dreaming of breaking my Xuanhuang Seal? Today, I’ll ensure all your calculations come to naught."

Li Yi now unleashed all his Mana without reservation. The Mana of his thirteen major acupoints also poured out rapidly. Simultaneously, under the Heaven and Earth Qi Gathering Technique, the surrounding nature’s spiritual energy also surged in.

In such a situation.

The Xuanhuang Seal now burst forth with boundless Divine Light, directly striking at the Sword Array, intending to destroy it.

"You’ve reached a dead end. Think I fear you?" Master Tianhe immediately summoned his defensive treasure, the Heavenly Scale Shield, hoping to block that boundless Divine Light and protect the Sword Array, determined to break through the opponent’s defense and end the fight in one stroke.

But he underestimated the power of the Xuanhuang Seal.

When the boundless Divine Light erupted, his low-grade defensive treasure, the Heavenly Scale Shield, developed cracks and then shattered with a bang.

"What?"

Master Tianhe was greatly stunned.

A low-grade defensive treasure was actually shattered in one blow?

Yet its residual power was unabated.

The boundless divine light descended, as if carrying a great seal from heaven and earth, intent on destroying everything before it.

Suddenly.

The sword formation was forcibly breached, and his mind was damaged; he spat out a mouthful of blood and his whole body was hurled backward.

Rumble...

The heavens and the earth seemed to be wailing.

Six flying swords scattered, crashing into the ocean, unleashing power and causing hundreds of feet high water columns to surge, with sword light crisscrossing below, emanating endless killing intent.

"The Six Tribulations Unlimited Sword Formation has been broken?" Master Tianhe stood in the sky, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his expression grim and terrifying.

This opponent, with just Nascent Soul Realm level strength, managed to break his sword formation. If one day he steps into the Divinity Transformation Realm, he might reign supremacy. Is this guy truly an Earth-born native? Not some celestial sect prodigy, chief?

However... the opponent is also at their limit now.

Then, he looked at Li Yi.

At this moment, Li Yi was also feeling unwell; he lay atop a red cloud, almost exhausted of mana. After the Xuanhuang Seal emitted that divine light, it quickly started to dim, though it still hovered above his head, its effects were quite limited.

Clearly, he had fought to his limits.

"You lost."

Master Tianhe also took a deep breath. His mana was also quite depleted at this moment. After all, maintaining such a formation and continual attacks, he was barely holding on, but now he’s finally drained the opponent’s mana, and even though his mana is insufficient, he still has his primordial spirit.

The Divinity Transformation Realm is named so because the Nascent Soul has transformed into the Primordial Spirit.

Without mana, the Primordial Spirit power is enough to annihilate the opponent’s soul.

With a thought.

Master Tianhe directed a strand of Primordial Spirit power, transforming it into an invisible flying sword aimed at Li Yi.

Though this Primordial Spirit flying sword was invisible to ordinary people, Li Yi, as an evolver, could see it clearly, that flying sword was illusory and transparent, radiating light as if transformed from Master Tianhe himself.

However, Primordial Spirit attacks are extremely perilous; once damaged, it can shake one’s foundations.

Under normal circumstances, Divinity Transformation experts would not resort to such a risky move.

"You have Primordial Spirit attacks, I also have soul attacks; I’m not afraid of you." Li Yi’s soul power also erupted; a purple treasure sword flew out from within his Five Elements Bracelet, carrying streaks of lightning, and confronted it.

"Master Chang Yi’s Purple Cloud Sword and Purple Thunder Talisman? Damn it."

Master Tianhe’s face turned pale in fear, hurriedly withdrawing his Primordial Spirit power; the Purple Thunder Talisman was no joke, it’s the nemesis of Primordial Spirit.

However, Li Yi’s soul power was not strong, driving the flying sword only a few hundred meters before it halted, unable to advance further, and could only fly back.

"Turns out you’re already at the end of your strength, you scared me." Master Tianhe was drenched in cold sweat at this moment, but seeing the Purple Cloud Sword devoid of power, he immediately understood.

The opponent was bluffing, trying to buy time.

"But you still have to die." Master Tianhe reached out and grabbed a flying sword from the sea, holding it in his hand. He glanced at it; the treasure sword had numerous cracks, evidently severely damaged, but to kill a spent Earth evolver, was still easy.

Using the remaining amount of mana, he swung it.

An extreme sword light sliced forth, arriving instantly in front of Li Yi.

However, unbelievably, this sword light did not strike Li Yi down, but was instead instantly deflected away.

"What?" Master Tianhe’s pupils suddenly contracted.

From some point, Li Yi was cloaked in a five-colored aura.

"Looks like you lost, your time is up." Li Yi grinned.

He knew from the five-colored aura on him, that Wu the Taoist had finished dealing with the other enemy and was now providing support.

Master Tianhe’s palm trembled slightly. After a moment’s hesitation, he immediately dropped the flying sword he held, then promptly knelt down mid-air, bowed his head low, and hastily kowtowed.

"I am a nobody, blind to the mighty, I humbly plead for the young master to spare my life."

The abrupt shift was so smooth that Li Yi was momentarily taken aback.
