Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 2170 1555: Take Action

Ever since that point, Li Zhirui and Qing Si found themselves not only unable to procure additional Spiritual Objects but frequently entangled in perilous encounters with Chaotic Fierce Beasts, leading to arduous battles.

At the outset, the pair attributed these occurrences to mere misfortune, finding nothing unusual in their plight.

However, as the unfavorable circumstances persisted without alteration, a realization dawned upon them: this could not possibly be attributed to simple bad luck alone.

There lurked hidden secrets behind this perplexing situation, secrets of which they remained entirely ignorant!

"Qing Si, given your origins among the Chaotic Fierce Beasts, do you possess any insight into this phenomenon?" Li Zhirui immediately questioned the native beside him, seeking any possible revelation.

Qing Si, equally bewildered, simply shook his head. "There is absolutely nothing pertaining to this matter within the inherited memories I possess."

"You are also unaware?"

Li Zhirui harbored no significant disappointment, acknowledging the inherent differences between Qing Si and the Chaotic Fierce Beasts, despite their shared ancestry.

It was akin to the Devil Race and wild beasts; though they might bear resemblances or even share close bloodlines, they constituted entirely distinct lineages.

Ideally, Li Zhirui wished to capture a Chaotic Fierce Beast and interrogate it directly about the unfolding events.

Regrettably, their lack of Spiritual Intelligence rendered such an endeavor futile; even if captured, no coherent answers would be extracted.

"Regardless, we shall proceed one step at a time," Li Zhirui declared with a sigh of resignation.

While he possessed confidence in his own formidable capabilities, he was not so recklessly arrogant as to believe he could effortlessly vanquish every Chaotic Fierce Beast.

During this period, both he and Qing Si had encountered beasts against which their combined strength would prove utterly insufficient.

Were it not for the sanctuary of his personal dimension, it was impossible to ascertain the monumental cost he would have incurred to escape such dire situations.

The relentless succession of combat had taken a significant toll on Li Zhirui, profoundly sapping his spirit; he could feel the weariness settling in.

Consequently, he yearned to unravel the mystery behind the sudden surge in activity among the Chaotic Fierce Beasts, whose territorial boundaries they had previously respected.

"If the situation becomes utterly untenable, we can retreat into the dimension and emerge only after a considerable duration," Qing Si suggested, having personally experienced the intense strain Li Zhirui had endured lately.

"We shall address that possibility if and when it becomes necessary. We have not yet reached that critical juncture."

Following this exchange, the pair resumed their dedicated cultivation journey.

Not long after recommencing their travels, they were confronted by an exceptionally ferocious Chaotic Fierce Beast, which charged towards them with unbridled aggression the moment it laid eyes on them.

Roar!

Swiftly eclipsing the thunderous roar was the shadowy form it adopted as it surged forward.

Its sheer velocity was so extreme that Li Zhirui lacked the time to react adequately, managing only a hasty defensive maneuver. The impact was immense, sending him hurtling backward.

Fortuitously, he had the presence of mind to shunt Qing Si into his personal dimension moments prior; otherwise, his ability to manage alone would have been compromised.

"Cough, cough…"

Fortunately, the potent Divine Power he deployed effectively absorbed the brunt of the assault, leaving him physically unharmed despite the tremendous force of the collision, which caused his internal Qi and Blood to churn violently.

In stark contrast to other colossally proportioned Chaotic Fierce Beasts, the one Li Zhirui now faced was notably smaller, adorned with vibrant green plumage, strongly resembling a bird.

"Could this be a Fierce Beast specializing in speed?" He fixed a sharp gaze upon the creature, now a short distance away, deducing that if speed was indeed its forte, then restricting its movement capabilities must be the immediate priority!

His hands moved with astonishing rapidity, unleashing a torrent of luminous Spirit Light that, upon interacting with the surrounding Chaos, swiftly blossomed into an impenetrable, dense forest.

In almost the same instant, a formidable lattice of towering ancient trees and myriad tenacious vines coalesced, forming an inescapable cage that ensnared the beast.

Having consecutively unleashed two potent Divine Powers, Li Zhirui's Mana reserves were significantly depleted; he promptly consumed a top-tier elixir to accelerate their replenishment.

His tactical gambit had, as intended, effectively curbed the beast's formidable speed, denying it the opportunity to fully capitalize on its primary advantage.

Confined within the verdant prison, the beast could only desperately dart about, attempting to evade the relentless onslaught amidst the dense foliage, its efforts further hampered by Li Zhirui's calculated interventions from the periphery.

Before long, superficial wounds began to mar the beast's body, and its aura visibly diminished in potency.

Screech!

The beast emitted a piercing cry of both fury and agony, radiating an intense, dazzling emerald luminescence, enveloped by a terrifying gale of Gang Wind.

Wherever this destructive energy swept, even Li Zhirui's remarkably resilient Starlight Vines proved incapable of sustained resistance.

The arboreal confinement he had meticulously constructed could no longer contain the enraged creature.

However, the immense expenditure of energy during its earlier, spectacular outburst had left the beast drastically weakened.

Thus, upon breaching its confines, its foremost impulse was not to resume its assault but to execute a hasty retreat into the distant expanse!

A fleeting streak of emerald light vanished, utterly disappearing in a mere instant.

Li Zhirui found himself unable to intervene in time to prevent its escape.

Furthermore, he harbored no inclination to pursue; he would gladly permit its flight if that was its desire.

This abrupt confrontation had ignited a deeper sense of intrigue within him, prompting contemplation about the beast's initial ferocity, its seemingly unwavering intent to obliterate and consume him.

Later, it ceased its assault, refusing to continue the fight and instead choosing to escape?

"Is it because of a mortal threat?" Li Zhirui sensed something was not right.

Although Chaotic Fierce Beasts often flee when they detect imminent danger, the circumstances at this moment were not dire enough; it hadn't reached such a desperate point yet.
