The Hunt Begins, Plotting Against Eastern Li!
In just this short time--
The Qing Centipede had already ravaged the entire island, inside and out, leaving a trail of blood...
From top to bottom, thousands of people, from living creatures to Spirit Plant, everything edible was devoured by the Qing Centipede!
Eliminate any possibility of leaking information.
Qin Lu then summoned his natal magic Law Treasure, Heaven Burial, first capturing the soul of the Qi Condensation cultivator, and then unleashing a ball of Ghost Fire...
In less than a quarter of an hour, the dark ghost flames completely enveloped the entire island!
As a few days passed--
The once vibrant island has been completely reduced to scorched earth, leaving no trace whatsoever. From a distance...
It's like a barren land situated on the sea.
With the ground burned and cleared like this, even if there were rats, they should have been completely wiped out...
Qin Lu, on the other hand, rode the Qing Centipede deeper and deeper into the sea, stopping and starting along the way, hunting down countless Demon Beast, numbering in the tens of thousands!
And you know what? The resources of Demon Beast in this ocean are truly abundant...
Occasionally, one might encounter swarms of fish demons, which are virtually inexhaustible in both killing and resource extraction. Although most of them are First-Tier Demon Beast, their sheer number makes them irresistible!
This really allowed Qin Lu to make a fortune!
soon--
In less than half a month, Qin Lu had already arrived at Eastern Li Island...
Looking at the irregularly shaped islands in the distance, their area is nearly 20,000 square kilometers, which is quite large for a medium-sized island!
According to the division of the Eight Immortals Sea Area.
Islands smaller than 1,000 square kilometers are called micro-islands, and those smaller than 10,000 square kilometers are called small islands...
Islands with an area of 10,000 to 30,000 square kilometers are called medium-sized islands, and those with an area of 30,000 to 100,000 square kilometers are called large islands!
Anything over 100,000 square kilometers is considered a super-large island...
For the time being--
An island of 20,000 square kilometers is sufficient as a foothold. Once things stabilize, we can gradually expand and develop outwards...
However, Qin Lu did not want to reveal his true colors too early.
Then--
He then manipulated the Boundless Jade Ring to temporarily set up a portal, and immediately Lu Ming, Huang Liang, Xie Yongnian, Wu Yan, and others filed out...
Including Qing Centipede, the six Dao Foundation joined forces to besiege Eastern Li Island!
After a brief discussion, Lu Ming and Huang Liang took the initiative to probe the situation. Lu Ming activated the Blood Soul Dao Law, summoning Endless Xueyun that enveloped the island...
The latter then deployed a series of formations, three sets of formations interlocking to completely isolate the entire island from the outside world...
Information could not be sent out, and news from the outside could not get in either. The cultivators inside could not escape...
Whether it comes from the sky, the sea, or underground!
Unable to use any escape techniques, they were further concealed by the sea of Xueyun...
That would completely seal off the island!
This unexpected turn of events naturally drew out two patriarchs of the Eastern Li Sect. Judging from their auras, they were quite powerful, subtly overpowering Huang Liang and on par with Lu Ming.
The two cultivators, both at the Dao Foundation Third Layer, exuded pure wood- Spiritual Qi...
Clearly, both of them are highly skilled cultivators proficient in the arts of wood, and their appearances and expressions clearly indicate that they are twin brothers!
"Who goes there?!"
"How dare you invade my sect! Aren't you afraid of dying here today?!"
The Dongli Second Ancestor roared, and their Jia Wood Dao Law manifested, instantly summoning countless Jianmu trees, which transformed into tree-man soldiers...
Meanwhile, the Dongli Ancestor activated the Yi Wood Dao Law, and countless vines spread out, gradually covering the entire sky, as if trying to draw life force from this world!
"Those who offend Dongli shall die!!"
The Dongli Ancestor's expression hardened. Seeing the other party's posture, it was clear that this was premeditated, not giving the other party a chance to react...
The Dongli Ancestor then urged the vines to attack Lu and Huang!
Seeing the fierce attack coming, Lu Ming immediately summoned his blood beast: Kui Ox. At the same time, with a wave of his robes, a giant wolf-like blood beast also materialized...
The two colossal beings possessed imposing auras and the power of the Dao Foundation!
Faced with the surging vines, the two beasts had barely repelled the first wave of attacks when they were bound by the following vines, and then...
Its Blood Qi was constantly plundered and absorbed by the vines, drawing upon a massive amount of life force!
Clearly, the Yi Wood Dao Law has developed a unique form of restraint against the Blood Soul Dao Law...
"Tsk..."
"What kind of vine is this? It can actually suck blood and flesh—is it XuETeng?!"
Before Lu Ming could react, the vines that had spread everywhere began to absorb the blood mist, and even the Xueyun gradually thinned out...
Seeing this situation--
Wu Yan appeared silently, Azure Origin Dao Law condensed accordingly...
Streaks of white light converged and formed a cage, trapping the Dongli Ancestor. Then, a set of mirror- Law Treasure appeared!
It is his natal magic Law Treasure: the Seven Xuan Mirror!
Wu Yan unleashed a burst of spiritual light from his natal magic Law Treasure, and the attack was then reflected back and forth in the seven mirrors, amplifying itself a total of seven times...
Ultimately, it transformed into a beam of Heaven-Penetrating Spirit that reached the heavens, completely enveloping the Dongli Ancestor!
One strike --
The sea surged and roared, destroying several hills and leveling them to the ground. And that Dongli Ancestor...
Yet he acted as if nothing had happened, dusting off his sleeves without being harmed in the slightest, clearly possessing some kind of defensive treasure!
"The power and speed are good, but the quality is lacking!"
Dongli Ancestor scoffed and summoned his natal magic Law Treasure: the Dongli Bell! The next moment, waves of sound waves surged forth, disturbing the mind...
It was a group-based Divine Sense attack!
In an instant, Lu Ming, Huang Liang, and Wu Yan simultaneously perished in the heavens, while at the same time, the Dongli Second Ancestor gathered the Tree Man Dao Soldiers...
In an instant, a wooden giant, as large as a mountain, appeared...
It then charged towards the three of them, unleashing a devastating attack!
Just as they were about to kill the three, a giant azure worm suddenly burst forth from the sea, its Azure Frost Dao Law condensing into a breath...
In the blink of an eye, the wooden giant was completely frozen!
Then the Qing Centipede coiled upwards, its hundreds of limbs flapping wildly, instantly creating a cloud of poisonous mist that descended upon the entire island...
Despite the protective array around the island, it was still creaking and groaning from the corrosive effects of the potent poison!
Seeing that their opponents dared not confront them head-on and instead attempted to breach the island, the Dongli Second Ancestor became anxious and activated the Jia Wood Dao Law...
It then charged straight at the Qing Centipede!
At the very moment the two patriarchs of Dongli were separated...
Qin Lu made his move, conjuring a wooden sword in his hand. Then, the Nether Soul Sword Intent attached itself to it, instantly revealing its sharpness!
"Soul Severing!"
Qin Lu swung his sword, first severing the giant bell-shaped Law Treasure, then swung it again, but the invisible Sword Qi was once again blocked by the bell...
Seeing this, Qin Lu raised an eyebrow slightly. Clearly, this Dongli Ancestor was also extremely skilled in the art of the Soul Dao!
Ordinary Dao Foundation cultivator don't possess such a keen sense of smell; only those cultivators with specialized knowledge of the Soul Dao could perceive the murderous intent in that sword strike...
Can...
So what?
Qin Lu revealed a wicked glint in his eyes. Faced with absolute power, these petty tricks were nothing but fleeting illusions. Since you want to play...
Then Qin Lu will play along with him to his heart's content!
Before the Dongli Ancestor could recover, an extreme sense of crisis made his soul tremble, and a terrifying murderous intent had already locked onto him!
Damn it!
"There's even a master here!"
"Where did these people come from?!"
