The Second Stage of the Longevity Realm

The sound of wind breaking was dense.

Li Weiyi looked up and saw five top-level soldiers from the Demon Kingdom's border army approaching. Each of them had cultivated for over a hundred years, and their cultivation levels were all at the Peak Third Realm.

Behind her, Luo Yinji pursued at a leisurely pace, the ground beneath her feet constantly freezing, making a hissing sound as it froze.

"Fortunately, they didn't have time to form a battle formation."

Li Weiyi's body condensed into Spiritual Light Armor, and in an instant, he was engaged in battle with five powerful border soldiers from the Demon Kingdom who were wearing black armor.

"Bang!"

The first move was a straight slash from the Taiyi Opens the Sea.

A border army expert at the Peak Third Realm blocked the attack with his halberd, and was sent flying along with his halberd.

Those who survived in the border army were all fierce and full of fighting spirit.

Two of them attacked from the left and right, one thrusting and the other slashing.

The scriptures and energy erupting from the magical halberd resembled two shimmering walls, pressing down on Li Weiyi.

Li Weiyi immediately leaped into the air.

With two swift movements, a halberd and an arrow were thrown, their movements predicted in advance, demonstrating the attackers' exceptional eyesight and rich combat experience.

Li Weiyi swung his sword, while using his other hand to seize the magical treasure.

"Bang!"

The arrow was deflected by the sword.

Li Weiyi reached out and grabbed the flying halberd. Then, he spun his arm in a circle and, using the impact of the halberd, threw it at Luo Yinji, who was chasing behind him.

Luo Yinji stopped and opened her white oiled paper umbrella.

The flying halberd immediately crashed to the ground.

"Bang! Bang!"

"Boom!"

Li Weiyi unleashed the Purple Sky Lei Seal, sending two Peak Third Realm border army experts flying. He withstood a heavy punch to his back and finally broke through the encirclement, rushing into the depths of the sacrificial pit.

The deathly aura emanating from the sacrificial pit was indeed terrifying, but he was not afraid.

He possesses countless powers that restrain evil, and even his blood can control evil.

The depths of the sacrificial pit were a forbidden zone for others, but for him, it was the best refuge at the moment. As long as he could hide inside and catch his breath, he could activate the Provincial Governor's Official Robe and escape.

Even if there were any taboos, Li Weiyi felt that it might actually disturb his taciturn Guardian Wife. He hadn't seen her for so long and missed her quite a bit.

The current predicament is that there are too many enemies, giving him no chance to activate his Provincial Governor's Official Robe.

The Spiritual Light Armor on Li Weiyi's body was nearly shattered by that heavy punch. It was only because his mental power cultivation had improved recently that the Spiritual Light Armor had become thicker and heavier, allowing it to withstand the blow.

The internal organs trembled, and the spiritual energy scattered.

Fortunately, I wore Four Layers of Defense, otherwise I would have been injured.

At this moment, he finally understood how Qingzao felt when she was besieged by four Battle Corpse Puppet. Li Weiyi was confident that he could kill any one of those five border army experts within ten moves.

But with the five of them working together, Li Weiyi could only flee for his life in a sorry state.

If the five of them form a battle formation, the Formation Script on their armor and weapons will merge together, and they will be able to compete with Ancient Sect True Disciple in the third realm.

Li Weiyi had just escaped when he unleashed three magical artifacts and two Daoist techniques from the Demon Race camp.

"Li Weiyi, do you still remember Hua Yuzi, whom you killed?"

The Six-Colored Peacock charged forward first, unleashing its fifth-level Major Technique, the Six-Colored Profound Nether Claw, from a distance of a hundred feet.

The six-colored magical energy, like six waterfalls of clouds, fell from the sky and condensed into a peacock claw print above Li Weiyi's head.

"I don't remember!"

Li Weiyi dared not linger, and with all his might, he split his body into twelve.

The Chan Sect Twelve Loose Hand Techniques were unleashed one after another, knocking away the three magical artifacts and breaking two Daoist spells.

Then, the Twelve Divine Shadows overlapped, transforming into an unparalleled sword beam that shot straight upwards.

"Boom!"

The Six-Colored Profound Nether Claw was shattered.

Li Weiyi's body flashed with spiritual light, and he once again teleported dozens of feet away, dodging the Six-Colored Peacock, and flew towards the two powerful Demon Race blocking his way.

Blood was flowing from his mouth, nose, eyes, and ears. To break through three magical artifacts, two Daoist techniques, and the Six-Colored Profound Nether Claw at the same time was no easy feat; he only managed to do it after suffering severe injuries.

Luo Yinji, who was following behind, was incredulous. She never expected that Li Weiyi could unleash such formidable combat power in such a desperate situation.

If it were her, she would definitely have to pay a price to break through both the Demon Kingdom and the Demon Race.

The reason she didn't dare to pursue him too closely was because she was wary of Li Weiyi's only trump card.

Given the circumstances just now, the fact that he didn't use it made Luo Yinji wonder if Li Weiyi had any hidden trump cards or techniques.

We can't wait any longer.

If those last two powerful Demon Race couldn't withstand even a single move from Li Weiyi, and he actually managed to escape into the depths of the sacrificial pit, then there would be many unpredictable changes!

Luo Yinji raised her right hand, her five slender, snow-white fingers forming an elegant hand gesture.

With the internal energy circulating, a finger-based Daoist technique was unleashed.

"Whoosh!"

Centered on the fingertip, a ripple with a diameter of one mile appeared, from which a beam of finger energy shot out.

The Six-Colored Peacock closely followed behind Li Weiyi, shouting to the two Third Realm Demon Cultivator ahead, "Stop him! Just block one of his attacks!"

"Swish!"

Li Weiyi's blood-red eyes were cold and deep. More than a hundred Heaven Sword Talisman flew out from between his brows, surging out like a tide, and blasted away the two Third Realm Demon Cultivators and their magical weapons.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Two Third Realm Demon Cultivator fell, their bodies riddled with holes.

One was on the verge of death, the other died on the spot.

With a loud bang, Li Weiyi was struck by Luo Yinji's finger from a distance, and then quickly disappeared into the depths of the gray mist, heading towards the bottom of the sacrificial pit.

Luo Yinji flashed to the spot where she had just struck Li Weiyi, her brows furrowed as she recalled the scene. The finger strike had been blocked by the six pages of paper that flew off Li Weiyi's body, and it seemed that it hadn't hit him.

Further ahead, the ground begins to sink and extends downwards, leading to the location of the sacrificial pit.

None of those who go down can climb back up.

She didn't dare go down.

The Six-Colored Peacock continuously channeled its magical energy into the severely injured Third Realm Demon Cultivator, but it was unable to save him.

A group of experts surrounded and attacked, but two of them were killed instead.

The Six-Colored Peacock's emotions were complex, and his eyes gradually turned cold. "The inside of the sacrificial pit is a spatial anomaly zone. He cannot use the Provincial Governor's Official Robe to teleport away directly. Summon all the experts in the city and send a message to Chi Yuan, telling him to return from Netherworld Spirit Mountain. We must execute this number one prodigy of the world."

The group of experts from the Dao Palace only arrived belatedly at this moment.

It's not that they're slow, it's that Li Weiyi is too fast.

"With so many of you, how did he manage to escape?" Yu Shouyi said sarcastically.

The Six-Colored Peacock said, "You're stronger than Dao Palace. You didn't even have a chance to make a move. Your reaction speed is so slow, you didn't even see Li Weiyi's shadow, did you?"

Wu Hongling, who had caught up, secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Don't be fooled by that guy's usual friendly demeanor. In times of danger, he can unleash immeasurable explosive power and break through enemy lines with precise judgment. I've witnessed it several times already, so there's nothing surprising about it."

"Don't you think his cultivation level is a bit too high?" the Purple-clothed Woman whispered.

After witnessing it firsthand, Wu Hongling was also deeply shocked.

When they parted ways in the East China Sea, they didn't believe they were weaker than Li Weiyi. But now, facing each other again... they felt they no longer even had the right to fight.

The two demon corpses of the third realm were lying on the ground; anyone who saw them would feel a chill.

In the sacrificial pit.

"As expected, the impact of magical energy on the Longevity Lock during a life-or-death battle was completely different from usual."

Li Weiyi sat inside a massive skeleton, tucking the six pages of the <Earth Book> into his robes. He felt as if his entire body was about to fall apart, but he forced himself to endure the injuries and carefully collected the blood energy from his body, storing it in a bottle.

Upon closer inspection of the Soul Return Lock, many more cracks were found on it.

No wonder Tang Wanzhou said that she would need several years of seclusion to break the third lock. But fighting would be much faster.

During his secluded cultivation, Li Weiyi mobilized his magical energy to break through the Soul Return Lock. He believed he had already given it his all and reached his maximum effort, with the flow of his magical energy at its peak.

However, in a real life-or-death battle, the speed of the Dharma flow is completely different.

Li Weiyi listened intently to make sure that Luo Yinji and the Six-Colored Peacock and others had not caught up before releasing Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors to protect him and begin healing his injuries.

The reason they weren't released earlier to form Combined Battle Formation was because speed was crucial; no time could be wasted.

In that situation, there can be no wrong judgments.

"Slap! Slap..."

As the internal energy circulated, the cracks in the Soul Return Lock continued to widen.

"Boss Li, Heaven Spirit Cub inside the gourd?"

Great Phoenix pressed her ear against the crimson gourd and could hear the sounds inside.

"Can you hear what it's saying?"

Second Phoenix pushed Great Phoenix away, pressed her ear against him, and then said awkwardly, "How about letting Earth Spirit Cub try?"

Li Weiyi stopped healing and sensed some unusual aura around him. He became alert and, with a try-it-out mentality, took out the Staff Spear of All Things.

The spearhead of the Staff Spear of All Things Earth Spirit Cub, with its dark, baby-like body, lay on the crimson gourd. After listening for a while, it began to communicate with the Heaven Spirit Cub inside.

The Earth Spirit Cub told Li Weiyi telepathically, "It says that if we spare its life, it will grant us a great opportunity."

"Tell it that this is our great opportunity," Li Weiyi said.

The Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors surrounding the gourd nodded in unison.

After exchanging words for a while, Earth Spirit Cub said, "It said it knows many secrets of Chun City and can find other Thousand-Year Elixir, some of which can reach a grade of six thousand or seven thousand years."

Li Weiyi was somewhat tempted, so he opened the gourd lid and released Heaven Spirit Cub.

Heaven Spirit Cub was further weakened by the Karma Fire.

Even though it was weak, its combat power was still at the third level. Li Weiyi dared not be careless. He grabbed its neck with his fingers, preparing to seal its power first.

"Huh!"

Within Li Weiyi's Divine Palace, one by one, the scriptures of lightning lit up.

These lightning scriptures transformed magical energy into electric sparks, which surged from the fingertips and intertwined with the lightning within Heaven Spirit Cub's body.

They were cultivated by comprehending the supreme true scripture of the Lei Xiao Sect, the <Nine Heavens Secret Treasury>.

That is, the purple jade stele in the Lingxiao Palace.

This Daoist technique actually shares the same origin as the lightning within Heaven Spirit Cub's body.

How so?

What connection could Heaven Spirit Cub have with the Lei Xiao Sect?

Aroused by Heaven Spirit Cub's lightning, Li Weiyi's internal energy began to circulate uncontrollably.

The magical energy was constantly transforming into lightning, flowing through all the Trace Meridians and veins, as if countless rivers of lightning were appearing within his body.

"Smack!"

The second Longevity Lock, the "Soul Return Lock," broke.

Like a shackle on the body being removed, the whole body feels as if it has emerged from a swamp, becoming light and free, as if it could instantly ascend to heaven.

At the location of the Soul Return Lock, a surge of life energy was released, sweeping through the limbs and bones, and impacting the Ten Springs Qi Sea.

Under the impact of this surging life energy, Li Weiyi's injuries healed rapidly.
