I Accumulate Spirit Roots for My Next Life - Chapter 346 - 202: Annihilating Shangguan Liuyun
The instant the Profound Treasure Level Protective Talisman was activated, the invisible hand of the four old ancestors capturing Li Jizhou lost its effect.
“Shangguan Qingming, what are your intentions?” The four old ancestors glared angrily at Shangguan Qingming.
Shangguan Qingming remained silent, already blocking the outer perimeter of the Protective Talisman, with his hand also holding an identical artifact as the Dragon Pattern Black Tripod held by Shangguan Liuyun.
However, the pressure emanating from the artifact in Shangguan Qingming’s hand was even more astonishing.
Everyone present felt uneasy in their hearts.
“Shangguan Qingming, what exactly is Shangguan Liuyun’s position in your Shangguan family? We’ve long harbored doubts since you, as the old ancestor of the Shangguan family, always yielded to him. Could he be some reincarnated great figure?” The old ancestor of the Jiang family narrowed his eyes, probing.
Upon these words, the other three old ancestors also cast doubtful looks.
It must be said, among the five major forces of the Central Domain, Shangguan Liuyun was the most extraordinary among the younger generation, not only with exceptional talent but also wielding considerable influence within the clan. Previously, rumors circulated that after the closure of the old ancestor, everything was dictated by this junior, Shangguan Liuyun.
Most people did not believe such tales, but today’s events confirmed them.
Moreover, Shangguan Qingming’s attitude as the old ancestor towards Shangguan Liuyun was indeed peculiar.
Not only lacking the dignity of an ancestor towards a junior, he even frequently obeyed him.
Upon hearing the doubts, Shangguan Qingming’s face subtly twitched, his eyes flickered, but he snorted coldly: “Nonsense, Liuyun is the most outstanding scion of my Shangguan family. As an ancestor, it is my duty to clear all obstacles for him. I declare today, anyone who dares to hinder Liuyun from my family, might as well not blame the Dragon Pattern Tripod in my hand for being merciless!”
With these words, the four old ancestors took a deep breath, but refrained from further comments.
Although the secrets hidden within Li Jizhou were worth exploring, they were not worth risking a battle with a Quasi-Immortal Artifact.
Moreover, even if they fought it out now,
leaving aside the fact that Shangguan Qingming was holding a Quasi-Immortal Artifact in command, the Profound Treasure Level Protective Talisman was something that could not be broken in a short time.
And within the Protective Talisman, Shangguan Liuyun had already taken out a replica of the Quasi-Immortal Artifact, at least at the Profound Celestial Treasure Level.
Using this treasure to crush Li Jizhou would hardly take any time.
They wouldn’t be able to act in time!
Seeing the four old ancestors giving up, a group of people below instantly felt their hearts tighten.
Jiang Li’s face showed even more anxiety, though the old ancestor of the Jiang family simply shook his head slightly.
“Ji Zhou!” Yu Ziyu’s eyes revealed despair.
Ye Jingyu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his expression extremely gloomy.
The others surrounding Shangguan Liuyun also displayed sadness, not solely to mourn Li Jizhou.
But also for themselves.
At this moment, Shangguan Liuyun’s Profound Celestial Treasure was unleashed; they were completely unable to resist.
Even trying to add a heart demon to Shangguan Liuyun was impossible.
After Li Jizhou, they too were doomed.
“Little thief, today no one can save you!” Within the Protective Talisman, Shangguan Liuyun sneered disdainfully.
The Black Gold Dragon Pattern Tripod in his hand suddenly erupted with a domineering pressure that overwhelmed all directions.
Within the Protective Talisman, Li Jizhou felt as though the aura of the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Tripod permeated him, trapping him in a quagmire.
Li Jizhou took a deep breath, scanning his surroundings, observing everyone’s attitude vividly.
“Bang!” The spell sword from Shangguan Liuyun already shot forward.
Sequentially under the pressure of the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Tripod, Li Jizhou’s movements slowed; he couldn’t evade and had to take it head-on.
The spell sword condensed with the divine power of Golden Core Peak level struck against Li Jizhou’s body, surprisingly sparking, leaving a white imprint on his flesh but failing to injure his skin or flesh.
“Hmph! Tier Three Peak in Body Refining, I must admit, you have indeed opened my eyes.” Shangguan Liuyun was merely testing, verifying the reason for being instantly blown away earlier.
His expression darkened, and a trace of chill surfaced in his heart.
Undeniably, with Li Jizhou’s Late Stage of Golden Core cultivation, along with magical powers not much inferior to his own, and coupled with Tier Three Peak in Body Refining, without outside assistance, he truly couldn’t defeat Li Jizhou.
This shrouded his previously invincible demeanor with a layer of gloom.
“You really deserve to die!” He cursed angrily, Shangguan Liuyun didn’t hold back anymore.
Amidst a burst of magical power, he urged the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Tripod to crush Li Jizhou.
As the aura of the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Tripod rose, everyone present sighed slightly.
In their eyes, Li Jizhou was already a dead man.
Boom—
The terrifying might approached, Li Jizhou felt as though his entire heart was about to leap out.
“Reincarnation Treasure Mirror!”
At this time, any hope for miracles had vanished.
Wood (786/900 Celestial Grade)
[Points available for next life: 173]
[Life Span: 172/173]
In an instant, Li Jizhou retained a one-year lifespan, allocating the rest entirely to his Wood Element Spirit Root.
The remaining one hundred seventy-three years of lifespan would be added upon awakening in the next life, sufficient to break through to Celestial Spirit Root, ensuring a foundational Wood Spirit Body.
At this point, there was no longer any attachment, as Li Jizhou unleashed a burst of essence blood stored in the fourth cycle.
In the next moment, under everyone’s watchful eyes, Li Jizhou transformed into a middle-aged palace-dressed beautiful lady.
“Hmm?” Instantly, everyone was taken aback.
“What does this mean? Transforming upon death?”
“No, the aura is entirely different, could it be some kind of substitute secret skill?”
“The simulation trait of the Sacred Land Holy Scripture!”
“Sister An?”
…
For a moment, everyone on scene had differing thoughts, each shaken in their hearts.
“Ancestor, that’s An Liuli, the woman we were tasked with capturing and escorting to the Imperial City last time!” Behind Shangguan Qingming, two elders examined Li Jizhou’s transformation, quickly transmitting their recognition.
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Qingming’s face stiffened, his heart greatly shaken.
The Moon Worship Dynasty?
How does this boy still have connections with the Moon Worship Dynasty?
He couldn’t help but halt in his heart.
Boom—
Amidst everyone’s mental tumult, an even greater sound than when the replica Dragon Pattern Black Gold Tripod of Shangguan Liuyun appeared reverberated.
In the next instant, everyone felt a cold stream swept across the entire world.
Those below were startled into a shiver.
“Quasi-Immortal Artifact!”
Immediately, a radiance soared to the heavens,
its majestic aura made the five old ancestors hesitate suddenly.
Looking back within the Protective Talisman, Li Jizhou, transformed into the beautiful lady, already had a treasure in hand exuding chilling brilliance, a breathtaking Jade Seal artifact.
“Is that… Guanghan Seal?”
“The Quasi-Immortal Artifact left by the ascending Immortal Monarch of the Moon Worship Dynasty?”
“How can this woman of merely Late Stage of Core Formation manipulate a Quasi-Immortal Artifact?”
…
“Not good! Liuyun’s in danger!” Shangguan Qingming’s face abruptly changed, urgently shouting for warning.
However, the Profound Treasure Level Protective Talisman triggered by himself couldn’t be instantly shattered.
Within the Protective Talisman, Shangguan Liuyun, who had just unleashed the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Tripod against Li Jizhou, was almost immediately knocked back.
He himself was further confined by the aura emitted from the Guanghan Seal, without the slightest chance for resistance, far exceeding the force Li Jizhou had just endured.
His heart felt an inexplicable palpitation.
Yet, without waiting for everyone’s further reaction, Li Jizhou had already erupted the stored essence blood of An Liuli, wielding the Guanghan Seal, striking towards Shangguan Liuyun.
If not for An Liuli’s bloodline, he would never be able to wield the Quasi-Immortal Artifact.
Although An Liuli possessed the bloodline of the Moon Worship Immortal Monarch, her cultivation was still insufficient. Hence, in wielding the Guanghan Seal now, it had mere pressure of the Quasi-Immortal Artifact, but its actual power was greatly diminished; it would be ineffective against the five old ancestors above, but had no pressure against Shangguan Liuyun, who was similarly a Core Formation Real Adept.
Li Jizhou did not waste words as Shangguan Liuyun did, activating An Liuli’s bloodline to unleash the Guanghan Seal, seamlessly sweeping in to attack, the entire process as effortless as flowing water.
“Ah!” Without the slightest suspense, no matter how Shangguan Liuyun countered, under the Quasi-Immortal Artifact, he was instantly annihilated, soul annihilated!
