Invincible!

Chapter 198 Reputation
"Shao Linxian, a prodigy on the Immortal Ascension Ranking of the Immortal Dynasty, is actually dead!?"

"He...he's only at the fifth realm, how come he's this strong?! If we'd known he was this powerful, we wouldn't have dared to make a move no matter what! We're doomed! We're all doomed now!"

"Wrong! Wrong! Utterly wrong! The opening of this secret realm doesn't bring us any opportunities; it's clearly a calamity for all the clans of Yunzhou!"

When Shao Linxian's aura was completely annihilated by the dark golden sword light, all the high-level and great cultivators of the major clans in Yunzhou were horrified and filled with fear.

At this moment, they seemed to have forgotten the fierce momentum they had displayed when breaking through the secret realm.

They seemed to have forgotten their arrogant and domineering manner when they stormed into the secret realm.

They also forgot that Li Xian had given them chance after chance, but they ignored it all because of their greed.

Faced with the overwhelming fear of death from an invincible enemy, everyone frantically tried to escape through the gap in the secret realm, fleeing in all directions.

but……

The breach they created by destroying the foundation of the formation has now become an insurmountable barrier for everyone.

Now that he had already started, Li Xian decided to make the battle quick and decisive.

After killing Shao Linxian, he turned and charged straight at the crowd.

"Run! Run!"

The leader, Chi Zhuo, changed his expression drastically and instantly transformed into a streak of fiery red light, rushing into the sky.

Before he could get very far, Li Xian, who was using the Void Sword Escape technique, suddenly appeared in front of him.

The sword intent shone brightly, like the sun shining down!

Just like when an ordinary person looks directly at the blazing sun, all they can see, except by closing their eyes, is a dazzling display, which is equivalent to being deprived of their vision.

For cultivators, the intense light formed by sword intent not only deprives them of their sight, but also their spiritual awareness and perception.

Cultivators at the fourth level and above use their spiritual consciousness to drive their magical power, thus achieving the ability to command their own arms.

In some periods of ancient times, magical power was even referred to as spiritual power.

Once spiritual consciousness is disturbed or deprived, it's like suddenly losing all strength, not much different from paralysis.

"Sword Intent!"

Chi Zhuo let out a terrified scream.

He attempted to shut down his five senses to reduce the impact of the sword intent on himself.

Unfortunately, the dazzling light formed by the sword intent was not limited by sight or the five senses at all, and when it struck down, it directly affected the spiritual world.

Even when he concentrated his spirit to the extreme, he still had the illusion that his body, consciousness, and true essence were being rapidly melted away.

He used all his strength to unleash every life-saving spell and talisman.

but……

It has absolutely no impact on Mr. Li.

Occasionally, a streak of light formed from a talisman would strike his body, but it was easily neutralized by Fu Li's true form.

Instead, the sword energy that Li Xian unleashed, following the sword intent, went straight in and pierced through the head of this sixth-realm cultivator before his consciousness could react and his body could not keep up.

This terrifying experience of watching death approach before one's eyes filled the Sixth Realm True Person with regret and despair.

It's unclear whether he regrets struggling to break free from the sword intent and facing the helplessness of impending death, or whether he regrets having set his sights on this "secret realm" in the first place.

They gained nothing and lost their lives.

After killing the sixth-realm cultivator, Li Xian used his magical power to steal his magical treasures and storage bag.

Then his figure flashed.

They crashed into that gap again, trapping the next group of cultivators who hadn't yet managed to rush out in the area.

then……

The sword energy is everywhere.

The Void Sword Escape combined with the Sun Chasing Sword Qi was a one-sided massacre against this group of cultivators, whose highest level was only the fifth realm, and whose majority were at the fourth realm.

Each flash of light inevitably leads to the death of one, or even several, people.

Each time he charged forward on his sword, he would slaughter all the cultivators in that direction.

Each strike of the sword evoked a shrill scream, a cacophony of wailing and howling.

This scene……

Lingxu, who was watching intently, was invigorated: "That's it! Li Xian, you should have done this long ago! Fearing power without appreciating virtue is human nature! Good people are not respected, but only looked down upon! The more you reason with them, the more they think you are easy to bully!"

It even took on a didactic tone: "They can't understand things beyond their comprehension. That's just how they act. Naturally, they don't understand why some people, despite their overwhelming strength, don't resort to trickery and tyranny! If they don't dare to take action, they must be all bark and no bite! You think they're crazy, but they think you're deliberately luring them into a trap, being treacherous and cunning, targeting them!"

Li Xian did not reply.

Perhaps Lingxu has a point.

Perhaps what Lingxu said is more suitable for living in the world.

but……

He has his own understanding and bottom line.

They cannot understand things beyond their own knowledge, but that doesn't mean those things are necessarily correct.

There's no need to care about what others think.

Following your heart and seeking inner peace and fulfillment is more important than anything else.

Otherwise, over time, the intense clash between one's own perception and external perception will only leave one exhausted, irrational, and prone to resentment, turning one into a puppet who has lost all judgment.

……

After a dozen breaths.

The event concluded with Li Xian using his true essence to retrieve the last storage bag.

How many people have come from outside?

He didn't know how many people had died in total.

I'm too lazy to count them.

All he knew was that he had given everyone a chance, but they still chose to stay true to their original choices.

He has obtained what he sought. He should grant them their courage.

"call out!"

The next moment, Li Xian's figure flew away on his sword and disappeared into the horizon.

It wasn't until half an hour after Li Xian disappeared that the cultivators of the third and fourth realms, who had been hiding in the deepest part of the secret realm and had arrived late and left early, finally arrived at the battlefield.

"It's over, it's over, my Lü family is completely finished."

Lu Jing arrived in front of a corpse that was only half a body, his face filled with pain.

This is Lü Song, the pillar of the Lü family.

The reason why the Lü family of Suolong was able to dominate a prefecture was because of the existence of this great cultivator at the peak of the fifth realm.

"There are no treasures inside, and this is no secret realm. It's clearly just a place of cultivation, just as the Great Luo Immortal Sect has said!"

Lu Jing's voice was filled with sorrow: "Why...why didn't you see any treasures? Why did that immortal sect disciple say you were no match for him? Why...why are you still so stubborn..."

"There's really nothing inside?"

A fourth-realm cultivator who had previously dared not enter this area approached, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"No, you can go in and see for yourselves, there's nothing inside."

Lü Jing shook his head in anguish.

"No……"

The fourth-realm cultivator, along with some other cultivators who had rushed over, couldn't help but look in one direction.

As the foundation of the formation was forcibly destroyed, the void distortion in this area gradually dissipated, and the previously sealed area was exposed.

Even if he doesn't go over, he can still see it clearly.

That place was truly a barren desert, just like the surrounding area.

and so……

"There's nothing here. So, in today's battle, so many people have been lost, with most of the Yunzhou Grand Masters killed or wounded. What was the point of all this?!"

A cultivator at the fourth realm couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"What's the point? Yes, what's the point?"

Lü Jing was also eager to know.

There was nothing there, yet so many cultivators perished because of a mere imagined secret realm.

Even the most outstanding talents on the Ascension List perished here.

them……

What are they after anyway?!

If they had simply spoken to that cultivator properly and listened to his description, instead of each of them acting like they were the most important person in the world and trying to capture that fifth-realm cultivator, this tragedy probably wouldn't have happened.

The so-called immortal from the Shao family, who was said to have the potential to ascend to heaven, would not have lost his life because of this.

For a moment, everyone felt a sense of irony, even absurdity.

It took a while before anyone realized what was happening.

"Elder Lü, you just said that the fifth-realm cultivator is a true disciple of the Great Luo Immortal Sect!?"

“His clothes had the insignia of a true disciple of the Great Luo Immortal Sect.”

Lü Jing responded dejectedly.

"A true disciple of the Great Luo Immortal Sect... surely he wouldn't be this strong?! A fifth-realm true essence, yet he can defeat a sixth-realm genius of my Great Yu Immortal Dynasty?!"

"The Great Luo Immortal Sect is one of the nine great immortal sects, and its power is overwhelming. Although our Great Yu Immortal Dynasty has developed very rapidly in recent years, its foundation is still somewhat inferior to that of the Great Luo Immortal Sect."

"No, I've had contact with the true disciples of the Great Luo Immortal Sect. Some of them are actually not even as good as the geniuses on the Ascension Ranking of my Great Yu Immortal Dynasty, let alone fighting against a sixth-realm expert from the fifth realm! This true disciple... he reminds me of someone..."

"I've thought of that too. It's said that the Great Luo Immortal Sect has produced a true disciple named Li Xian, who is also at the fifth level, yet possesses the combat power to fight against a sixth-level cultivator. Moreover, he's incredibly audacious enough to challenge their sect's chief Daoist, Yi Yuanshi! Could it be this person!?"

Amidst the murmurs of discussion, these people quickly figured out most of Li Xian's identity.

Even if Li Xian, a fifth-realm cultivator, were to defeat a sixth-realm cultivator, his fame wouldn't reach the territory of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty.

but……

Yi Yuanshi, that is the chief Daoist of the Great Luo Immortal Sect!

In the future, he will surely be able to transcend tribulations and become an immortal, and may even be able to unite with the Dao and become the next sect leader of the Great Luo Immortal Sect.

Since they were from the same continent, they had naturally heard of him and were also familiar with information about him.

"Mr. Li!"

Lü Jing murmured this name.

Not only him, but everyone else in the room also deeply remembered this name.

Including Lü Jing, they even gave up any thought of revenge.

The true teachings of the Great Luo Immortal Sect!

At the fifth realm, they can defy the sixth-realm prodigies of their Great Yu Immortal Dynasty!
Such figures will undoubtedly have a place on the stage of the True Immortal World in the future.

Dare to retaliate?
They probably don't even know how to write the word "death".

……

People speculated that, although there was no evidence to suggest that the fifth-realm cultivator was Li Xian, similar information was circulating.

Everything we do leaves a trace.

Never underestimate someone else's reasoning ability.

However, Li Xian never intended to hide his identity.

Often, he simply felt that he could handle things himself, so there was no need to ask others for help.

He flew swiftly, riding his sword.

After traveling a distance of 100,000 miles, he chose a secluded mountain peak, suppressed his sword light, and quietly began to digest his understanding of the remnants of the Void Dao Body.
