Li Xiao made his move, the Heaven-Devouring Saint Physique awakened

"Xiao'er, are you serious? Tong'er really has a saint physique?"

Li Yan looked at Li Xiao in disbelief as he spoke.

Just moments ago, his nephew had actually said he would help his daughter awaken her saint physique. As Li Tong's father, he had never even realized his own daughter was a genius.

Seeing that Li Xiao looked serious and did not seem to be pretending, Li Yan asked again to make sure.

Li Xiao nodded.

"Uncle, it's true. That's why I came to ask your opinion."

He had never told anyone that Li Tong possessed the Heaven-Devouring Saint Physique.

He had originally thought that, with his invincible cultivation, protecting her for her entire life would be no problem, but what happened that day had changed his mind.

He could not watch over them at every moment. Helping her awaken her saint physique early and build a solid foundation would give the Li Lineage another trump card if anything unexpected happened in the future.

At least the members of the Li Lineage would not be threatened.

In this cultivation world, strength alone reigned supreme.

Just as Li Yan was wavering, Li Xiao's aunt spoke up beside him.

"Just trust Xiao'er. He's Tong'er's older brother; he would never harm her. Besides, with Xiao'er's cultivation realm, his judgment must be better than yours."

At Li Xiao's feet, Li Tong also spoke in her babyish voice.

"Daddy, I want to become as strong as Big Bwother. Tong'er wants to protect Daddy and Mommy."

Hearing his daughter say this, Li Yan nodded.

"All right, go ahead. I trust you. After all, even your uncle's life is owed to you."

Li Xiao smiled, then focused his mind.

"System, what do I need to do to awaken Tong'er's physique? I have no experience."

"Little master, just put your hand against that little girl's forehead. Leave the rest to me."

Hearing the system say this, Li Xiao could only do as instructed.

He pressed his palm against Li Tong's forehead. The next moment, golden energy surged along his arm and entered her forehead.

Rumble!

In an instant, dark clouds shrouded the sky above the Li Lineage. Thunder rolled across the heavens, as though the end of the world had come.

When had the Li Lineage disciples ever seen such a sight? They all looked up at the lightning descending from the heavens, their faces pale.

"A lightning tribulation? Has the young master broken through and ascended?"

Gu Chungang and the others stared at the churning wind and clouds overhead, their expressions jolting.

Beside Gu Chungang, the Undying Man stared fixedly at the lightning tribulation in the heavens, unable to hide the delight in his eyes.

He had never tried a lightning tribulation before.

In Li Yan's courtyard, Li Yan seemed to sense something, and his expression darkened.

"Why has a lightning tribulation appeared? Can Tong'er withstand it?"

Li Tong was now a three-year-old child without any cultivation. Even Li Yan would not necessarily dare claim he could withstand a lightning tribulation.

"It's only a lightning tribulation. There's no need to worry, Uncle."

Li Xiao waved his hand, then transformed into a streak of light and appeared high in the sky.

Thunder rumbled as a terrifying presence brewed.

The next moment, the entire bank of tribulation clouds turned red, startling Li Xiao.

"System, what's going on with these red tribulation clouds?"

Ordinary lightning tribulations had black clouds. This one seemed different. The presence of these red tribulation clouds was even stronger and more overbearing than before.

"Little master, the Heaven-Devouring Saint Physique is too powerful. In ancient times, it was a forbidden physique, unrecognized by heaven and earth. That is why dark red tribulation clouds have appeared."

Li Xiao was shocked to hear this. This lightning tribulation wanted to put Tong'er to death.

"System, can this lightning tribulation be blocked?"

The next moment, blue light flashed inside Li Xiao.

"Little master, I have temporarily broken the laws of this world. Your cultivation realm and power now far surpass this plane. A mere lightning tribulation is nothing."

Hearing this, Li Xiao sensed his own strength. Sure enough, it was countless times greater than at Peak Saint.

Rumble.

A terrifying presence brewed within the red tribulation clouds, and the presence of the lightning tribulation locked firmly onto Li Tong below.

Crack!

A scarlet lightning bolt carrying a destructive presence descended before Li Xiao like a red flood dragon.

Seizing the moment, Li Xiao unleashed a streak of black netherfire through the air.

The bolt of tribulation lightning was instantly devoured by the black flames.

At that moment, the presence that had originally locked onto Li Tong shifted to Li Xiao.

Li Xiao barked coldly, "Begone."

The next moment, space shattered with a crash, heaven and earth trembled, and the entire bank of tribulation clouds instantly dispersed.

A single word drove back heavenly lightning.

The tribulation clouds retreated, and purple Qi came from the east.

Ten thousand miles of purple Qi spread outward like seven-colored clouds, centered on the sky above the Li Lineage.

"I-I broke through! Holy shit, ten thousand miles of purple Qi! This is an auspicious blessing!"

"Li Lineage disciples, enter meditation immediately and absorb the purple Qi of heaven and earth!"

Li Yijian gazed at the ten thousand miles of purple Qi, his expression utterly excited.

The next moment, a taotie phantom appeared out of thin air in the heavens. Opening its bloody maw, it lunged toward Li Xiao to swallow him.

Li Xiao sneered, gathering the power within him as compressed, pitch-black flames continually condensed in his hand.

Crack, crack.

The void kept shattering.

"Little master, that's enough! You can't compress it any further! This world is about to shatter!"

Hearing the system's words, Li Xiao hurriedly stopped what he was doing and hurled the netherfire in his hand at the taotie phantom.

The entire taotie phantom was engulfed in black flames. It now resembled a qilin wreathed in black fire before finally dissipating high in the sky.

"Holy shit, the young master destroyed that manifestation! Has his power already surpassed this world?"

"As expected of the young master! He can even destroy something like that!"

The Li Lineage disciples gazed at Li Xiao's mighty figure and cheered nonstop.

"Th-that, what is that?"

"Immortals! They're immortals!"

Some sharp-eyed disciples noticed that the heavens were now filled with phantom figures of immortals. They bowed respectfully toward the Li Lineage, then transformed into streaks of light that poured into Li Tong.

Blessings descended from heaven, extraordinary manifestations abounded, and purple Qi stretched for ten thousand miles. At this moment, an ancient forbidden physique awakened.

Li Xiao glanced down. Quite a few disciples had used this purple Qi to break through.

Blessings descended from heaven, benefiting all living beings. At this moment, many people in the Upper Realm were also entering meditation to absorb the purple Qi, just like the Li Lineage disciples.

"Damn it, after all that work, this shower of red envelopes actually does nothing for me."

Li Xiao spoke disdainfully, feeling somewhat displeased.

"Little master doesn't love me anymore. With your little system here, any physique or power will become nothing but passing clouds. Little master has actually had a change of heart."

Li Xiao: "..."
