Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 2160 1550: Explosion

Li Zhirui brought Qing Si along, cautiously advancing towards the raging battle.

As they drew nearer, the intensity of the spiritual energy surged, casting a heavy pall over his mood.

The sheer power emanating from the battle's aftermath suggested combatants of immense strength, likely two peak Profound Immortal experts clashing immensely.

Qing Si's initial excitement began to wane, replaced by a palpable sense of apprehension and worry.

Were it not for the fear of revealing their presence, he would have urged Li Zhirui to halt their approach immediately.

Upon reaching a closer vantage point, their suspicions were confirmed: the conflict indeed involved two peak Profound Immortal domain experts.

Crucially, these weren't mere Chaotic Fierce Beasts, but entities seemingly born from the very fabric of the world!

One combatant towered a hundred zhang high, his form clad in impenetrable black, adorned with menacing bone spurs that radiated a chilling aura, capable of freezing even the Void itself.

The other adversary was even more colossal, resembling a mountain ripped from the earth. Clutching a gargantuan hammer, his mere stance exuded an overwhelming pressure that made drawing breath a struggle.

Despite their renowned skill in infiltrating battle zones, Li Zhirui and Qing Si found their stealth instantly compromised.

Gazing upon the two titans, they felt their very blood turn to ice, as if any movement would invite immediate annihilation from both opposing forces.

Li Zhirui, while still under immense duress, managed relatively better. The sheer might could easily extinguish him, but being in the same cultivation realm, the pressure was less suffocating. He slowly adapted, mitigating its impact.

Qing Si, however, began to tremble uncontrollably. The chasm in power was simply too vast. Continued exposure threatened to inflict a deep, perhaps permanent, psychological scar.

With no other recourse, Li Zhirui acted decisively, whisking Qing Si away into his Personal Space, shielding him from the oppressive aura.

Freed from the burden of Qing Si's vulnerability, Li Zhirui's immediate priority was to execute a rapid, strategic retreat from the embattled area.

The concept of 'profiting from the conflict' was now a distant fantasy; the risk of becoming collateral damage was alarmingly high!

In such a fiercely contested and balanced engagement, any minuscule external interference could prove fatal, an instant guillotine threatening his existence!

Both combatants shared the apprehension that Li Zhirui might become an unwitting pawn for their opponent, tipping the scales towards defeat. Therefore, eliminating him swiftly would restore equilibrium.

This danger had been foreseen by Li Zhirui, hence his resolute declaration of non-interference from the outset.

A pang of regret struck Li Zhirui. He reflected that, upon sensing the anomaly, he should have immediately disengaged and retreated, rather than indulging a fleeting curiosity to 'just take a look' and pressing onward.

This misplaced inquisitiveness had precipitated his current perilous predicament.

Perhaps his unwavering stance of non-involvement was perceived by the dueling titans, as no hostile maneuvers were directed his way during his withdrawal.

"Hoo—"

Once Li Zhirui had extricated himself from the battlefield's immediate vicinity and the direct threat of the two powerful beings, his tensed physique instantly sagged with relief. He exhaled a prolonged breath of stale air.

He then swiftly retrieved Qing Si from his Personal Space, eager to assess his companion's condition and ascertain if any lasting effects remained.

Fortunately, a brief period of calm within the space had allowed Qing Si to dispel the lingering fear from his heart.

"Jiu! Let's bide our time here until they decide this clash. Afterward, we can swoop in for the spoils – there's bound to be a substantial haul!" Qing Si declared with renewed vigor, his desire for gain undiminished.

"You're still set on this even in this kind of situation?"

Li Zhirui expressed surprise at Qing Si's persistent attitude. Had it been him, he would have sought the greatest distance possible from this hazardous zone at the earliest opportunity, to avoid any entanglement.

"Jiu, consider this: those two are evenly matched. By the time a victor emerges, the survivor will undoubtedly be severely weakened," Qing Si reasoned, articulating his strategy with unwavering confidence.

"At that moment, you can move in for the kill. We are talking about two peak Profound Immortal experts – imagine the treasures within their personal collections, the sheer number of precious Spiritual Objects and profound cultivation Methods they must possess!"

Li Zhirui had to concede that Qing Si's logic held considerable weight; even he felt a flicker of temptation.

However, if he were to proceed, a single obstacle first required his attention!

That specific obstacle was that Qing Si absolutely could not accompany him.

For should the unfolding of events deviate from their anticipated trajectory, leading to unforeseen complications, there would be no one capable of looking after him.

"For what is to transpire henceforth, it would be best if you remained within the spatial realm."

Thus, Li Zhirui's inaugural action was to dispatch Qing Si into the spatial realm, prioritizing his absolute safety.

Though Qing Si understood this decision stemmed from a place of benevolent intent, and that his presence might even jeopardize the entire scheme, resentment still simmered at Li Zhirui's swift and resolute actions.

Yet, he offered a silent prayer, wishing for a seamless progression of all undertakings.

As for Li Zhirui, he meticulously stifled his aura, obscured his form, positioned himself at the periphery of the impending conflict, and patiently awaited the conclusion of the grand battle, intending to enact his clandestine plan.

"You Han! Is this the extent of your capabilities? Why not concede defeat and relinquish the Hundred Years Enlightenment Fruit?"

Abruptly, a voice dripping with derision, akin to a thunderous clap, reverberated through The Void. Even extending a distance of one hundred li, its clarity remained unmarred.

The Hundred Years Enlightenment Dao Fruit, a spiritual object of the highest Profound Immortal Rank, is meticulously imbued with vital essence and the fundamental Laws of existence. Upon its consumption, an individual gains the ability to comprehend the corresponding Great Dao Laws within a span of one hundred years.
