Chapter 670: Great Achievement of the Dao Fruit

So many years have passed, and Li Hui stood against the immortals in the Extreme Huan Continent, defeating the Departed Immortals until they could not lift their heads. The distance between him and the current world only grew. How did he achieve this?

If Hao Yue Lin could reach the Void Ascension stage, was Li Hui any less than this woman?

At this moment, seeing Hao Yue Lin achieve the mid-stage Void Ascension, Li Hui felt no fear. Where did his confidence come from? Was it merely because he stood in Mufeng City, able to wield numerous spirit treasures in battle?

The answer lay in the Dragon Spring Purple Talisman Classic, or more precisely, in the Dao Fruit in his heart that was only half a step away from maturity.

Hao Yue Lin raised her chin in arrogance, irritated. “Six hundred years ago, your skills were sharp; I could but sigh at my helplessness. But now I have reached Void Ascension. How many Void Ascension experts are there in the world? I intended to let you go, but unfortunately, some people do not know their own limits.”

Suddenly, Li Hui made his move. The two Virtual Immortals who had restrained him moments earlier shrieked, their forms collapsing inward in an instant, transforming into two palm-sized talismans heading toward the artificial mountain.

“Talisman?” Hao Yue Lin, with her sharp vision, realized Li Hui had immediately turned her two important subordinates into talismans. The shock in her heart went beyond her limits, for the talismans could now threaten her.

The appearance of the talismans should have prompted the Tribulation of the Heavens. However, the chaotic Dao body bore the tribulation, allowing them to unleash their power quickly.

“Divine and clear, in the image of the celestial, these two talismans shall be called the Divine Immortal Departure Talismans!” Li Hui said, looking at Hao Yue Lin. He had already made up his mind to reclaim Mufeng City. Artificial obstacles meant little; what truly posed a challenge was the change within the Ancient Tomb of Mufeng City. In recent years, he had continuously sent demon talismans to gather intelligence and had finally understood some of the truth.

“Swish…” Hao Yue Lin attacked the talismans, but despite her high cultivation, she had seldom engaged in life-and-death battles. She only knew how to focus on closed-door cultivation, and even when traveling, she often relied on her immense power to suppress others.

Now, look at Li Hui. What kind of life had he led in the Extreme Huan Continent? He drilled mines, suppressing countless immortals, facing the risk of losing his legal form with every misstep. Each step he took was heart-stopping; it was not a matter of simply tricking Huang Long with a drop of dragon blood to feast.

He had faced countless battles, suffering over five hundred injuries to his spirit, with thirty-two instances nearly resulting in complete annihilation. Relying on the frantic acceleration of time, he barely managed to recover and utilized the Dao Fruit for careful nourishment to make it to today.

Hao Yue Lin thought her hard work was unbroken, but Li Hui was ten thousand times more diligent. A delicate flower in a greenhouse wished to uproot a towering cliff, often confronting storms, which can only be described as ridiculous! Even if she was a poisonous flower, she remained powerless to shake the sturdy pines.

The Divine Immortal Departure Talismans aimed at slaughtering spirits and legal forms. With the materials right before him, Li Hui’s hands itched, and he couldn’t resist refining the two Virtual Immortals preserved from the Ancient Dynasty.

Light and shadow flickered, and Hao Yue Lin was caught off guard.

She had numerous techniques at her disposal, yet these two talismans directly targeted her legal form and spirit, crushing her Yang God with ease.

Li Hui called out loudly, “The chess pieces are about to shatter. Will the one orchestrating this game not reveal themselves?”

A voice from afar sounded aged: “Whom can she blame for her foolishness? She mistakenly believes that years of effort could disrupt the great formation of Mufeng City, attempting to strike down her enemies while you moved the formations and treasures. Yet, she does not realize that there are always greater beings beyond. Before true Great Powers, what use is a fledgling Void Ascension practitioner like her, who has never weathered storms of blood and slaughter?”

“Grandpa Jiao, save me…” Hao Yue Lin cried out in terror. She felt her spirit weakening, unable to support her form any longer.

“Alas! Save you? I can barely protect myself…” The voice drifted, clearly unwilling to remain near Mufeng City in danger. However, the heavens trembled violently, immense demonic energy surged forth, and Grandpa Jiao cried out in horror, “City Lord, spare me! I vow my loyalty!”

“Crack…” A black and purple lightning appeared, like scissors tearing apart the high-level cultivator behind Hao Yue Lin. Then came a chilling rustling sound as Mufeng City activated its demonic treasures, reducing Jiao Lin Tian to fine sand.

But this old fellow was far stronger than Hao Yue Lin. The fragmented figure was merely a Dream Incarnation. Centered around Li Hui, a drumbeat began to resonate.

“Boom, boom, boom…” Li Hui declared, “Do you think destroying a Dream Incarnation concludes this matter? For many years, you have occupied Mufeng City’s fortune, enhancing your Dao Foundation and strengthening your cultivation. Hmph, human paths defy the heavens, and the fortune returns.”

“Boom, boom, boom…” The drumbeats intensified, and an invisible whirlpool of fortune appeared above Mufeng City. At the same time, on a distant small island, someone shouted, “No!”

“Booming…” The fortune returned, cascading down like a waterfall, and Li Hui’s body absorbed all the lost fortune of Mufeng City as if it were a bottomless pit.

“Human path curse assassination, never to recover!”

His words echoed through heaven and earth, causing countless practitioners to tremble in fear; the higher their cultivation, the greater their discomfort, as they felt like ants.

The Human Path Drum suppressed the fortune, the Bai Ze Dao Talisman stirred it, along with a nearly mature Dao Fruit, drawing upon all the grievances, death energy, fading energy, dark energy, and the demonic intent left by the Demon Cultivators, weaving them into a talisman that transformed into curse power.

This move was too ruthless, utterly reversing right and wrong, blaming all the grievances of Mufeng City on Jiao Lin Tian. With the tilt of fortune, it unleashed the power of curse assassination to its fullest extent.

In simpler terms, you take the dregs, I keep the essence, instantly destroying the opponent’s Dao Foundation, leaving the small island submerged in despair, filled with howls of misery, and infinite hatred.

Li Hui observed the changes in fortune and coldly addressed the small island, “I’ll spare your life for nineteen days. Go find your companions to extend yours! After that, this curse power will only keep growing until the roots are dug up.”

“Thud!” Hao Yue Lin fell to the ground, her body intact, yet her spirit had already scattered. Her sister, Hao Yue Chen, let out a scream as her spirit also began to drift away.

“Eh?” Li Hui was somewhat surprised and then realized, saying, “So these sisters signed a Dao contract. If one dies, it affects the other; only then can they trust one another and conspire together to control Mufeng City.”

As soon as he finished speaking, six offerings and fifty guards collapsed, unable to rise again. They were Hao Yue Lin’s loyal fighters, similarly bound by the Dao contract; if their master died, they could not survive either.

“Welcome back, City Lord!” called one clever guard loudly.

“Welcome back, City Lord!” With one came many, as they were originally practitioners of the Hao family, loyal to the city lord of Mufeng City.

From the shadows, almost a hundred figures fell to the ground; those who had died were entirely gone. Hao Yue Lin was truly ruthless, having secretly laid five layers of traps.

Li Hui commanded the moving of the city lord’s throne to the center of the courtyard, where he sat with his eyes closed. He saw swirling red and yellow lights, the runes instantly spreading out, proliferating on the ground and in the air.

An infinite Dao Fruit, close to completion, was descending, supporting the Human Path legal form as it sank deep into the Ancient Tomb. Russell, Bi You, and the others had not returned, and all were connected to the silver snake…
