Chapter 166.1
As soon as Hong Lian died, Li Tianyan took over her puppet and blood sword. Hong Lian’s puppet had the aura of the peak core formation, which was much stronger than the two he had taken before.
There was also the Blood Demon Sword, which was comparable to a top-grade magic weapon and looked quite extraordinary. After Li Tianyan became a core formation, he had worried that he had no weapons at hand, so this sword came at the right time.
Cheng Qi also stepped forward to take down the storage ring of the female evil cultivator. He found that there were several low-grade magic weapons, two core formation puppets, and more than a thousand medium-grade spiritual stones inside. He immediately put the things away.
Seeing that the items on Hong Lian that they had been eyeing for a long time were taken away by the two of them, the other core formation evil cultivators went crazy, but they were extremely wary of Li Tianyan, and no one dared to provoke him.
Fan Zhuo had been thinking just then that it would be good to let Li Tianyan kill Hong Lian like this, but now that he saw that Hong Lian was really dead, he couldn’t feel happy anymore.
The appearance of people like Li Tianyan in the Immortal Path was definitely not a good thing for the Shura Sect. Fan Zhuo even regretted his previous thoughts.
Those who were shocked by Li Tianyan were not only the people of the Shura Sect but also the thousands of foundation-establishment cultivators behind them who could clearly see what had just happened. Except for the people of the Tianfan Immortal Sect, the elders of other sects were all shocked and speechless.
The elder of core formation stage, who was still on the battlefield, remained much calmer, but seeing how easily Li Tianyan could kill the female evil cultivator beyond a certain level, he also had some thoughts in his heart. It was better not to be an enemy of someone like Li Tianyan.
Tian Min breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his two apprentices were intact. Li Tianyan had such strength. If he really went to a wider continent in the future, he should be able to protect himself well.
As soon as they saw Li Tianyan take action, several evil cultivators in the early stages of the core formation were so frightened that they took their puppets back. Immediately, the pressure on the core formation cultivators suddenly decreased, and the evil cultivators’ fighting spirit faded, which further fuelled the arrogance of the immortal cultivators, leading to several more core formation evil cultivators being injured.
Li Tianyan didn’t care about anything else. Instead, he took out his spiritual eye mirror to check. The death energy produced by one core formation’s death in the later stage was stronger than that of hundreds of foundation-establishment cultivators combined.
After Hong Lian’s death, she condensed into a stream of death energy, which was quickly absorbed by others. Naturally, Li Tianyan couldn’t let him succeed and ordered Tao Wu to intercept this death energy.
Upon hearing the command, Tao Wu immediately appeared, stepped on Li Tianyan’s shoulder, opened his fangs, and sucked in fiercely. The core formation evil cultivator’s thick death aura, as well as those on the battlefield that could not be taken away, were all absorbed into his mouth.
There were more than 300 evil cultivators who died on the battlefield at the peak of foundation establishment alone. Including the two core-formation evil cultivators, even if most of them were taken away, the concentration of death energy was not comparable to that in the Hehuan Sect that day.
After Tao Wu sucked in the death energy, the breath on his body swelled slightly, but there was still more left in the soul-chasing bell that could not be digested.
Realizing that his strength had recovered somewhat, although it was less than one ten-thousandth of what it had been at its peak, Tao Wu still smiled with excitement on his face, and his expression actually looked a bit ferocious.
Li Tianyan sensed that something was wrong and took out the Soul-Chasing Bell to check. Sure enough, the cracks on the bell had opened a little more and were getting closer to the sealing rune. He couldn’t help but squint his eyes.
“It turns out you were the one who was causing trouble again. Even you already killed my Shura Sect’s right commander, yet you still dared to steal something from me.”
At that moment, a voice full of anger came from a distance. Everyone looked for the source of the sound and saw a black shadow flashing from the Shura Sect’s palace, arriving at the battlefield in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this man in black robes appear, the faces of the Shura Sect members showed ecstasy.
The immortal cultivators noticed that this person was only a hair’s breadth away from the Nascent Soul, they all wore cautious expressions. The only good thing was that this person had not yet successfully advancing.
The three sect masters, who were no longer bound by the puppet, stared at the evil cultivator with vigilance, their true spiritual energy flowing around their bodies, ready to take action at any moment.
“This person’s aura is so strange,” Tan Eyu in the Soul-raising Wood remarked, having smelled the scent of living souls, and sent a message to Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi.
“It’s another old monster that takes over a body,” Li Tianyan had already noticed from the moment this man appeared.
“Tianyan, you mean…” Xuan Zhen couldn’t help but be shocked when he heard the news. The same was true for the leaders of the Haoyue Immortal Sect and the Biluo Immortal Sect beside him.
To seize a body, one must be in the Nascent Soul stage. There had been only a handful of Nascent Soul cultivators that had been born in the Hengwu Continent since ancient times, so it was rare to hear about body seizing.
“This person is a Nascent Soul evil cultivator,” Li Tianyan said with a sneer.
This guy was not only a Nascent Soul but also a Nascent Soul who had failed to advance. It turned out that any giftedness was a lie.
He Liancheng looked at Li Tianyan for a moment and then showed a bloodthirsty smile. “Li Tianyan, you are really special. I wonder if the death energy you transformed into is different from others.”
