Chapter 680: Setting the Formation

Li Hui returned, wielding his Legal form to charge toward the sea surface with the Chaotic Dao Body.

With a "bang," a massive hundred-zhang wide hole appeared on the sea, and it took a long time to recover. A booming sound echoed from beneath the water, and soon a flurry of brilliant lights emerged; these were the scenes of external forces triggering the array rings.

Even though the light was submerged underwater, it became glaringly bright. But in an instant, all the lights began to fade, as if they had not found the anticipated enemy.

Li Hui had already dived into Wan Nest Island. Just like the chair he had returned on, his body was covered in talismans, resembling a cloak of protection.

In just a few breaths, he traversed through layers of obstacles and reached the monkey’s side.

This monkey was his true form, and under the pull of energy, it instantly returned to its original shape, becoming a Daoist in a black robe, silently sitting cross-legged while holding a sweeping feather.

The Chaotic Dao Body remained motionless, and the Legal form did not return but instead released a drop of blood as magnificent as a treasure.

If one had keen eyesight, they would see this drop of blood was like a vast ocean, with countless dragon beasts swimming within it, resembling a miniature world.

Prime Minister Turtle suddenly awoke and exclaimed, "Brat, where did you find me a drop of blood? Hurry and take it away! I’ve managed to feign death until today; I don’t want to lose all my efforts."

"This is the hope for your revival, Senior. With this drop of true dragon blood as the heart, you can become one of the practitioners of this era within six months," Li Hui wanted to repay Huang Long. If it weren’t for his guidance, it would have been difficult for the Legal form to step out of Wan Nest Island. Moreover, he had earned much from the celestial projections using Huang Long’s name in the Extreme Huan Continent, so bringing back the true dragon blood was just a simple task.

"Ah! I can’t explain this to you. If I wanted to revive, I have plenty of ways, but now is not the time. Perhaps I will have a chance when the great world begins to devour and merge with each other."

"So you’re waiting for the end of days? Then I won’t hold back." Li Hui rubbed his hands; this was the true dragon blood of a living immortal.

He had nine drops of the blood of Great Luo Golden Immortals sealed in his possession, yet in terms of spirituality, they could not compare to this drop of Golden Immortal true dragon blood, especially with Huang Long’s remnant soul by his side, which could cultivate many layers of slightly inferior dragon blood. Whether for creating talisman ink or for blood refining artifacts, the benefits were endless.

"What’s wrong, kid? You only left for a little over a year, but why… why do I feel such a vast change in you?" Prime Minister Turtle asked, puzzled.

Li Hui smiled wryly and said, "What do you mean a little over a year? I got trapped in the time of six hundred years ago, entered the Extreme Huan Continent to suppress the celestial projections, and constantly accelerated time flow to recover from serious injuries. In this way, I’ve lost count of how many years have passed. So many things happened; if it were truly only a little over a year, how could I have such providence to return to Wan Nest Island?"

"Be careful, the Time Claws are coming!" Turtle Prime Minister cried out in horror as thick mist surged rapidly, plunging him into heavy shadows, obscuring his view of the surroundings.

"Quick reaction! Before the Legal form even returned, it came," Li Hui flicked his wrist, releasing nine drops of blood of Great Luo Golden Immortals, followed by nine powerful artifacts matching the attributes of the celestial blood. He then struck the ground, launching ninety-nine beams of light that surrounded him with ninety-nine spirit treasures.

Turtle Prime Minister shouted, "Is this your setup? The blood of Great Luo Golden Immortals is indeed precious, but it’s far from enough. Kid, did you write your will before coming in?"

"Can you say something uplifting to boost morale, Senior?" Li Hui rolled his eyes; he was about to duel with the immortals, and this guy wouldn’t even say anything encouraging.

"Look at my mouth; encouragement is coming! Xiao Hui will absolutely win! Xiao Hui will triumph a thousand times!"

Hearing Huang Long shout slogans, Li Hui almost choked; this guy showed no sincerity. Could he be any more perfunctory? Did he really not believe in him? Even if he didn’t have faith, he shouldn’t make it so obvious!

"They’re here! So fierce; this feeling is familiar, just like my disciple, Erlang Shen Yang Jian." Prime Minister Turtle shrank into his shell, drawing in his entire aura tightly.

Li Hui pointed to activate the formation and said, "I already knew; you truly should fuse that drop of true dragon blood to revive. The achievements you’ve gained and its backing will soon enable you to reach great heights in this world. I don’t mind the immortal revival; the key is to revive and not become a Dark Immortal."

Turtle Prime Minister fell silent again, pulling completely into his shell.

As the rumbling sound echoed, the Time Claws, hundreds of zhang long, reached out to grab Li Hui. Suddenly, his Dao robe inwardly collapsed, leaving deep imprints where it was grasped.

"Dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth. You were once great—why can’t you see through the maze of life and death? Why must you return to the world to stir up trouble and confront us mundanes? Under the calamity of immortals, all immortals are like ants. Beneath many immortals, common people are also like ants. Think of your experiences! Even if you transfer your misfortunes onto the populace, you aren’t the same as before. Why suffer this?" Li Hui raised his hand, scattering countless talismans, and said, "To honor you and take your glory to return is a thousand times better than entering this world covered in blood! Return home!"

The opposing side erupted with anger, the Time Claws becoming particularly dense, causing ripples to form as they crashed against the perimeter of the formation.

To have a mere mortal cultivator honor them for their return was indeed a vast overreach—it was truly bold and unwise. Since he had the audacity to come back, today he wouldn’t think of escaping from his grasp.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The surrounding ninety-nine spirit treasures deteriorated one after another as the speed and power of the Time Claws amazed everyone.

Though they were also Time Claws, the ones Li Hui had previously integrated into the Cloud-Brush Dragon Claw Technique felt like mere tickles compared to them. Fortunately, the formation hadn’t been laid in vain; suddenly, golden light gathered to form a massive character "Suppress."

With each spirit treasure that shattered, they instantly turned into scraps, and the eyes of the silver snake bracelet began to glow progressively while fine black patterns spilled out of its back, immediately igniting the artifact infused with blood of Great Luo Golden Immortals.

"Whoosh…" A tremendous talisman power surged into the artifact; this was the moment Li Hui had been waiting for.

He released the Legal form with a thunderous return, and his true form suddenly brimmed with vitality. Holding the sweeping feather, he opened his eyes while six beams of light swirled behind him.

"Bring it on!" The true form and the Chaotic Dao Body spoke in unison as they unleashed ninety-nine spirit treasures, instantly filling the formation. At the same time, he took out thirty-six palm-sized exquisite Yin-Yang Blood Stones, pouring Huang Long’s true dragon blood into them.

Seeing the Yin-Yang Blood Stones begin to manufacture true dragon blood, transforming from one drop into thirty-six drops, Li Hui retrieved the Azure Sky Jade Symbol Sword and thrust it into the magnificent blood light. He then waved his hand to send out a sequence of talismans that ignited upon contact with the true dragon blood and the Azure Sky Jade Symbol Sword.

Previously, he had cultivated many "child swords" using the Azure Sky Jade Symbol Sword, significantly damaging the "mother sword," which still hadn’t recovered until now.

Li Hui poured a large amount of true dragon blood and talismans into it, causing the Azure Sky Jade Symbol Sword to produce numerous ripples almost instantly, with increasingly powerful fluctuations as it quickly manifested extraordinary energy and thoughts.

When the surrounding ninety-nine spirit treasures shattered and dissipated again, a thunderous voice boomed, "Exterminate!"

"Exterminate…"

"Exterminate…"

The intent of the Extermination Sword flared, igniting demonic red radiance as it fiercely struck down toward the Time Claws.
