Family Management Game In Immortal Continent Chapter 827 - 822: Are You Sure You Are Still Alive
Previously on Family Management Game In Immortal Continent...
The North Star Spirit-Breaking Spear erupted with force, thrusting Zhao Tingyu out of the Void Refining Space. He was driven violently into the earth, his body shattering a tall tower upon impact!
"Your efforts are futile! The Old Ancestor shall grant me life once more. The true foundation of our Zhao Clan is a level of power you cannot possibly grasp!"
With a grotesque smirk, Zhao Tingyu allowed Li Wei’s North Star Spirit-Breaking Spear to impale his heart.
He remained convinced that even if this Li Clan Old Ancestor wielded the Laws of "Time" and possessed resurrection techniques, he would eventually expose a weakness in such a man!
"What right do you have to be so arrogant?"
Li Wei’s fury reached a breaking point.
Had a piece of trash like this really attempted to drag him into a mutual death just moments ago?
Li Wei felt that the very blood of this man soiled the North Star Spirit-Breaking Spear upon contact.
"Why should I not be proud? My Zhao Clan has endured for one hundred and sixty thousand years, and I have ascended to the very peak!"
Zhao Tingyu called forth his saber formation.
At this stage, he had discarded all thoughts of self-preservation.
That radiant rainbow bridge of saber shadows, which had previously breached the defenses of Supreme Elder Puci, was now aimed directly at both himself and Li Wei.
He channeled every drop of his spiritual power with the sole purpose of entangling Li Wei!
His voice grew shrill as he sneered at the audacious opponent before him.
"The only reason your Li Clan hasn't been wiped out over these millennia is because of the Destiny you hold!
We are eternal, but your kin shall meet their end!"
Suddenly, the descending bridge of saber shadows froze in the sky.
Zhao Tingyu’s eyes widened in shock as Li Wei’s mocking voice cut through the air.
"Are you certain that you are actually alive?
Is the 'you' brought back by your Old Ancestor... truly yourself?
When you perish, is the thing that emerges from that hideous heart still the same man?"
Zhao Tingyu’s countenance shifted violently.
Clutching the shaft of the spear, he erupted with spiritual power to tear his body away from the weapon. In a flash, he teleported to stand before his rainbow bridge of saber shadows.
The words of the Li Clan Old Ancestor seemed to strike a forbidden chord, leaving his face as white as a sheet.
"I am alive... I am still alive!!!"
Zhao Tingyu cast a frantic glance toward the heart of the Zhao Clan Old Ancestor—specifically at Zhao Feimeng perched upon it—and let out a primal scream, dragging Li Wei back into the Void Refining Space once more.
...
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
As Li Changsheng opened his eyes, the rhythmic beating of that heart faltered for a second.
The Blood Demon Lord and the Seven Ironclads lunged forward, their forms twisting into demonic shapes.
The aura of the Blood Demon Lord—a devilish Qi of the most ancient and orthodox purity—saturated the air.
These two presences undoubtedly triggered the most deep-seated terrors within the hearts of the Zhao clansmen!
During that brief lapse in the heartbeat, Zhao Feimeng, who was busy sealing the Old Ancestor atop the heart, grew visibly frantic.
"They intend to shatter the formation! Slay them!"
In that instant.
The battlefield descended into total pandemonium as Void Refining and Divinity Transformation experts from both factions clashed in a chaotic struggle.
Li Yaozu, with his sword casket strapped to his back, once again confronted Zhao Wan—that revived creature who was neither truly male nor female.
"Sister Fang, lend me your strength!"
With pupils as dark as the abyss, he possessed a soul that could not be swayed by illusions!
Zhao Wan’er’s face twisted in fear.
This time, instead of fighting, she turned her back to Li Yaozu and fled.
"Old Ancestor, protect me! There is something unnatural about this monster!"
Fang Linglong had already seized control of Li Yaozu’s physical form.
As a being of immense age, she stared at the Zhao clansmen who crawled unceasingly from that gargantuan heart.
Extending a hand, she ripped through the fabric of space. She looked up at the heavens and projected her freezing voice across the sky.
"A physical shell can be remade, but once the soul is annihilated—without the path of Reincarnation—it is utterly impossible to return to the world of the living!"
Finishing her proclamation, she vanished into the spatial tear, hunting down Zhao Wan’er to finish him.
Within the Void Refining Space, Fang Linglong’s message reached Zhao Wan’er’s ears, sparking a moment of internal turmoil in his gaze.
"What do you know?!! We have been reborn! We returned from the body of the Old Ancestor!"
"You are lost in your own delusions," 'Li Yaozu' said with a cruel grin.
His voice was a haunting fusion of male and female, vibrating with a deep, metallic echo.
"You pathetic trash. It appears you have no true understanding of what your 'Old Ancestor' actually is!"
...
High above the firmament, Li Yaowen continued to manipulate the Destiny Lines of the Zhao clansmen within the Immortal Domain.
Hearing Fang Linglong’s voice caused her to furrow her brow.
This sister-in-law of hers was, after all, a Devil Matriarch—a figure who had once suppressed the entire Divine Bird Tribe of the Wu Clan on her own.
She clearly understood the nature of this heart.
"A physical shell can be remade, but once the soul is annihilated—without the path of Reincarnation—it is utterly impossible to return to the world of the living..."
Li Yaowen whispered to herself, "During the years Father spent in the Underworld, he discovered long ago that the realm of the dead is in chaos and the cycle of Reincarnation has been broken.
Regardless of their deeds in life, the deceased turn into malevolent ghosts, while the world above is filled only with brand-new souls."
She gazed down at the heart. "The Old Ancestor’s suspicions were correct."
Zhao Feimeng of the Zhao Clan remained stationed atop the heart.
With half of her blood-stained, naked body exposed, she presented a sight that was both repulsive and strangely enchanting.
The heart of the Zhao Clan Old Ancestor pulsed rhythmically.
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
It continuously broadcasted a single, desperate plea: "Save him."
"How miserable," Li Yaowen sighed.
In this moment, she felt a sudden wave of pity for the entire Zhao Clan.
Pushing those thoughts aside, she soared higher into the sky. Above the clouds, a Golden Seal manifested!
This was the ultimate prize her father, Li Dalong, had earned from the Human Emperor after being granted the title of "Guardian of the Southern Border" by the Imperial Dynasty.
Their clan held absolute authority over the lands of these two prefectures.
Through this power, they could bestow official titles in the name of the Human Emperor—and command Destiny itself!
