Family Management Game In Immortal Continent Chapter 833 - 828: You Have Been... Targeted
Previously on Family Management Game In Immortal Continent...
Deep within the Immortal Domain.
Upon a monumental heart, countless eyes glared with intensity, vibrating with the suffocating spiritual pressure of the Integration Realm.
Standing before it, the titanic Blood Tree manifested its true shape, driving its many branches deep into the spines of the Li family members.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The Old Tree, a silent sentinel in the Li family’s courtyard for centuries, now thrashed its roots against the ground in a frantic state of exhilaration.
Spiritual power, siphoned from the surrounding darkness, surged through its massive limbs and was funneled directly into the bodies of the Li clan.
Simultaneously, roots erupted from the earth like spears, impaling the floating remains of the Zhao clansmen.
These roots tangled with the veins protruding from the heart, fighting a desperate battle for control over the blood contained within the corpses.
Fresh, delicate leaves began to bud upon the once-withered branches of the Old Tree.
The Heaven-Piercing Coffin slammed into the soil.
The silver lid of the casket slowly transitioned to the color of gore, the hue deepening until the entire surface was stained a vivid crimson.
Corruption began to seep from the Heaven-Piercing Coffin into the very ground; as the lid slid open, an infinite tide of blood surged forth, contaminating every inch of the Immortal Domain!
The manic, ecstatic voice of the Old Tree echoed throughout the blood-red Immortal Domain.
“Blood! Such a bounty of blood! My foliage, my hair—it is all returning! Hahaha!”
...
“You miserable creature! How dare you?! How dare you?!”
The Heart erupted in a monstrous fury.
It realized that this tree demon—a mere Divinity Transformation realm existence—was employing a mysterious formation to siphon spiritual power from the inhabitants of the Azure Cloud Region beyond the Immortal Domain’s borders!
This gluttonous Old Tree was trying to consume the blood of the Zhao clan!
Even the Sea of Blood was participating in this feast, eager to divide the spoils.
No!
It was worse than that!
The Li family members, their spines tethered to the branches, hung limply in the air.
Through the power of that formation, they began to absorb the torrent of external spiritual power, causing their cultivation levels to rise steadily.
Suddenly, a streak of black mist hissed out from the Li family’s sword box.
An aura radiated from that mist so terrifying that it caused the Zhao Clan Ancestor to shudder with dread.
Within this Immortal Domain, the black mist ignored his overwhelming pressure, ruthlessly tearing through the bodies of the Zhao clansmen.
She was exulting!
“It truly is that sort of thing! Hahaha! Marvelous! This is nourishment of a heavenly grade!”
“What is this?!!”
The presence of a Great Demon!
Terror gripped the Zhao Clan Ancestor.
He felt a power from this demon far more horrifying than the forces that had wiped out the Zhao Clan 160,000 years ago.
This entity had moved beyond the constraints of worldly laws; it was a primordial existence from the dawn of time, something far beyond his understanding!
“No!”
The Zhao Clan Ancestor felt a wave of panic with every flicker of the black mist.
The Heart—the very organ that allowed him to consume destiny and revive his descendants—was signaling a frantic warning, as if it had come face-to-face with its natural predator!
As if drawn to the feast, more members of the Li clan were pulled into the fray.
Their forms were suspended in the sky, spines locked to the tree’s limbs.
The incoming spiritual power manifested a protective barrier, shielding them from the crushing weight of the Integration Realm; they remained so stable that even the Old Tree’s violent trembling could not disturb their slumped positions.
A solitary figure was hoisted directly in front of the massive heart.
Gurgle...
The cluster of eyeballs stared unblinkingly at Li Yaowen, who had opened her eyes among the gathered Li clansmen.
Her slender fingers continued to dance through the air with precision, while behind her, the other Li family members seemed as though they might wake from their deep trance at any moment.
“You are seeking death! Seeking death!!!”
The Zhao Clan Ancestor’s roar thundered from the depths of the Heart.
He intended to annihilate these insects who dared to steal from his blood feast—these fools who failed to grasp the vastness of the heavens and the earth!
However.
A seal suddenly materialized in the firmament, heavy with the weight of the Mandate of Heaven.
The vessels and veins the Heart lashed out—which seemed lethal as they raced toward the Old Tree and the Li family—became as limp as cotton the moment they made contact.
Instead, those very vessels began to leak multicolored gases resembling smoke.
This essence was drawn into the seal and then scattered, radiating across the entirety of the Duravia Trade Prefecture.
“How can this be?”
The many eyes within the Heart... were shaking with fright!
“Resistance is futile.”
Li Yaowen’s clear, innocent gaze looked down upon the Zhao Clan Ancestor.
Her lips parted slightly as she spoke, “Long ago, our Old Ancestor realized you were plundering the Qi Luck of the people in the Duravia Trade Prefecture.
I performed this exact same feat many years ago.
Where the world’s Qi Luck gathers, Spirit Qi follows; and where Spirit Qi thrives, all life flourishes without end.”
“You have spent your existence consuming Qi Luck; that is the sole function of that heart of yours.
It devours Qi Luck and converts it into the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth, yet it cannot provide you with a breakthrough.
This is because, regardless of its power, its primary purpose is simply the collection of Qi Luck.”
“It is no different than a farmer working his land.
The seeds, the water, the fertilizer, and the soil itself—none of these things are meant to be eaten raw.”
The Zhao Clan Ancestor was consumed by rage.
He continued to strike at the Li family with his blood vessels, trying to slaughter them, but every attack was useless.
Li Yaowen continued,
“The blood and flesh of the Zhao clan are your seeds.
The Qi Luck of others serves as your water.
Your heart acts as the fertile soil.
And time itself is your fertilizer.
You plan to use these elements to grow a massive harvest, which you will then consume to reach new heights.”
“But for you, this heart that controls Qi Luck is the foundation of your entire plan.”
She looked upward, staring at the seal floating in the sky.
“Once your heart loses its ability to command Qi Luck, your hundred and sixty thousand years of work will be stripped of all meaning, right down to the foundation.”
“You have been... marked as a target.”
“No!”
The cluster of eyes within the Heart stared at the sky.
That seal... was competing with him for dominance over Qi Luck, and he was being utterly crushed.
The seal held the authority of a supreme power he could never hope to defy—an authority that looked down upon him from above.
It was governing the Qi Luck of Heaven and Earth, ruling over the life and death of every living soul!
In the entire Azure Dynasty, only one such power existed: the Human Emperor!
The Heart shuddered in fear.
