Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 2024 1481: Giving Up

Roar!

With a heaven-shaking, earth-trembling dragon roar, Qingcang surged forward to assault the tribulation thunder!

In the sky, the colossal dragon clashed against the savage beast, igniting a savage, explosive fight without delay.

The spectacle transformed instantly—no longer a mere Tribulation Transcendence, but a desperate struggle between two behemoths battling for supremacy, victory, defeat, life, and death.

Aooo—

For a brief instant, Qingcang got surprised and took a heavy blow to his waist from the beast, unleashing a pained cry while his enormous frame hurtled back, his momentum sharply declining.

The Li family members watching this grew terrified, fearing his tribulation would end in failure over it.

Such a small hindrance could never fell Qingcang; barely pausing to breathe, he rushed ahead again, reengaging the tribulation thunder's ferocious beast.

Within moments, an odd rain poured down from above—Qingcang's blood mingled with shattered bits of tribulation thunder.

"Looks like the Water Monarch may not escape his fate…" one cultivator whispered softly, deeming it truly regrettable.

A Divine once brimming with assurance for ascending to Heavenly Immortal now confronted doom and the loss of his Dao due to this abrupt twist.

Such a development naturally elicited regretful sighs from the onlookers.

"Can't you say something positive? If it goes as you say, the Li family won't let us off easily! At that time, they might rather kill ten thousand by mistake than let a single one escape."

"Ah? Surely the Li family wouldn't do something so brutal?"

"Who knows? We're talking about a Heavenly Immortal here!"

Clever observers among the crowd had already pondered these possibilities, their expressions filled with worry and tension.

Simultaneously, they earnestly hoped Qingcang would endure the tribulation and attain Heavenly Immortal, perhaps allowing the Li family to overlook the incident amid the celebration.

The clash was nothing short of world-shaking, with no clear dominant force.

However, Qingcang's inferior power left him perpetually on the back foot, scales scattering wildly, his form riddled with gashes and blood, looking completely wretched and lamentable.

The savage beast appeared worn as well, yet far better off compared to Qingcang.

At this juncture, the result hung in the balance—defeat loomed as just a question of when.

Refusing to yield, Qingcang clenched his jaws, gulped down multiple top-grade Pills, and ignited his Merit to amplify his fighting prowess.

Roar!

A booming dragon roar erupted as Qingcang appeared fully revitalized, summoning endless ocean waves to drown the tribulation thunder beast.

Conversely, the unintelligent tribulation thunder couldn't regenerate or replenish; once its energy depleted, it vanished.

Suddenly, the tide turned dramatically.

The cultivators were shocked by Qingcang's tactic, though upon thinking it over, they realized it was the sole path to shatter the stalemate.

Despite gravely wounding himself and damaging his core foundation, failing the tribulation meant instant death and Dao dissipation!

The priority was plain to see—which mattered more?

Empowered anew, Qingcang launched a fierce offensive, overturning the tribulation thunder's earlier dominance.

Having expended most of its might already, the tribulation thunder weakened further, easing Qingcang's path immensely.

Rumble—

A massive wave surged from nothingness, crashing violently into the tribulation thunder and making its shape waver, on the verge of crumbling.

Right after, the thirty-six Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearls gleamed with dazzling spirit light, landing the decisive strike.

Boom! The enormous tribulation thunder beast shattered explosively, dissolving into scattering sparks of lightning everywhere.

"Huff huff huff—"

After vanquishing this mighty adversary, Qingcang couldn't sustain his gigantic true form anymore; shifting back to human Taoist Body, he stumbled and almost plunged into the ocean.

Yet his ashen complexion and faint aura sparked concerns—would he withstand the impending Heart Demon Tribulation?

While the Heart Demon Tribulation primarily challenged resolve and spirit, body, mind, and soul interconnect; Qingcang's battered condition would inevitably impact his Dao Heart.

As mere bystanders, interference was impossible—they could only wait there.

Soon enough, a beam of dark light streaked down from the heavens, diving directly into Qingcang's form.

His condition was dire indeed; the glow from his spiritual soul had dulled, flickering like a dying flame.

Nevertheless, Qingcang held faith in conquering the Heart Demon Tribulation.

This stemmed from his practice of the White Lotus Purifying World Visualization Skill, crafted by Li Zhirui, which wielded the Power of Purification Law—ideal against heart demons.

Additionally, for caution, he had prepared ahead thoroughly.

A mere thought summoned several Merit Treasure Pearls from his Sea of Consciousness, which burst apart into blazing Merit Fire enveloping the Sea of Consciousness.

Guarded by the White Lotus over his spiritual soul and Merit Fire eroding the heart demon, he endured the Heart Demon Tribulation unscathed, and seemed not–

However, the years of amassed Merit Qingcang possessed was utterly exhausted in this grand tribulation!

Furthermore, from repeatedly rush-refining vast quantities of Precious Pills, his dantian and meridians suffered heavy harm; post-thunder tribulation, though his foundation endured, the wounds were profound and slow to mend—recovery might demand years.

Even so, Qingcang harbored zero remorse; the heavy toll was worth it for fulfilling a crucial aim: ascending to Heavenly Immortal!

Naturally, he yearned for greater heights, loftier realms, ultimate transcendence—but without even reaching Heavenly Immortal, what prospects existed?

"Hoo!"

As the tribulation thunder faded and clouds morphed into immense waves of pristine spiritual energy, Li Mingyao, his kin, and the other cultivators all breathed sighs of relief.

They marveled too, astonished that the gravely injured Qingcang overcame the Heart Demon Tribulation so effortlessly at last.

Barring a handful of cultivators, all rejoiced at Qingcang's success—some for the clan's bolstered might, others relieved no catastrophe struck, sparing them from the Li family's potential indiscriminate purge and securing their safety.

Before long, Qingcang absorbed every trace of spiritual energy, unleashing a potent aura that swept outward.

Most sensed nothing unusual, save Li Mingyao whose brows furrowed momentarily before relaxing.

Being a Heavenly Immortal himself, he knew this aura intimately; to him, the emanation felt far feebler than standard!

Just one reason fit: Qingcang's wounds were excessively dire!

Yet Li Mingyao lacked any effective remedy; healing lay outside his domain.

"Many thanks to everyone for safeguarding me!"

Forcing out these words through sheer will, Qingcang became a ray of spirit light and vanished into the cave mansion in a flash, intent on devoted recovery.
