A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 116

Chapter 115 Provocation, Magical Battle, and the Encirclement and Killing Formation

“Stop? Hmph, you expect me, Pang, to stop in my own territory?”

The scarred-faced giant, who had been intercepted, sneered, taking the initiative.

Then, upon seeing the Demon Core clone, his eyes lit up:

‘Huh? Why is this Core Formation cultivator’s aura so weak?’

The clone’s aura wasn’t deliberately concealed; the initial Core Formation stage energy was released openly, like a beacon in the darkness. Crucially, compared to a normal Core Formation cultivator, the Demon Core clone’s initial magical power was weaker.

“Was it you, fellow Daoist, who formed your Core on this island just now?”

the giant man asked, his tone suddenly becoming friendly.

Seeing this, the Demon Core clone became wary:

“What, is there something amiss?”

“This is sea area under the jurisdiction of my family. Fellow Daoist’s uninvited arrival and unauthorized Core Formation here has put me in a very difficult position,”

the scarred-faced man grinned.

The young man before him was merely a newly promoted early-stage Core Formation cultivator, his realm unstable, and his magical power even slightly inferior to that of a normal early-stage Core Formation cultivator. In contrast, he himself had been in Core Formation for nearly two hundred years, long past the bottleneck of the early stage. In terms of magical power cultivation, he was far superior.

This alone gave him at least a 30% chance of victory.

Furthermore, he possessed a natal magic weapon refined over many years, along with other rare treasures and ordinary items. The person before him, on the other hand, had definitely not yet refined his own natal magic weapon, at most possessing a few top-tier magic artifacts.

This undoubtedly increased his chances of victory by another 30-50%.

Moreover, in terms of secret techniques, whether it was killing techniques or flight skills, he had specialized for two hundred years; how could he be inferior to a newly promoted early-stage Core Formation junior?

Fight? The opponent would certainly be no match for him.

Escape? The opponent could not possibly escape from his grasp.

Thus, a 120% chance of victory lay before him.

‘The advantage is mine!’

He was determined to devour this piece of meat!

“Then, what does fellow Daoist wish to do?”

the clone asked patiently with a forced smile.

“Compensate my family with ten thousand spirit stones, and I will let this matter drop…”

the burly man said maliciously.

Even now, this scarred man didn’t forget to use the Pang family, a powerful cultivation clan in this sea area, as a deterrent. He wanted to make outsiders wary before the fight even started, so they would hesitate and not act freely.

The Pang family was said to have several Core Formation cultivators.

It was one of the powerful cultivation clans in the nearby sea area.

The most powerful patriarch was the previous lord of Kui Xing Island decades ago,

possessing a mid-Core Formation cultivation level.

When Han Li heard about this so-called Pang family, his heart did tighten slightly for a moment.

However,

the more this person used his family to bully him, the more his killing intent rose.

“Is the Pang family really this domineering?”

Ten thousand spirit stones in the Chaotic Star Sea had the purchasing power of sixty or seventy thousand spirit stones

in the Southern Sea. There was no doubt that the other party was making an exorbitant demand.

How could a newly promoted Core Formation cultivator possibly possess so much wealth?

Presenting it only makes him more coveted.

“It seems you’re unwilling, fellow Daoist…”

The scarred-faced giant’s playful smile vanished, and he took out a javelin-like magic weapon.

Just by looking at the intricate runes surging on the spearhead, one could tell this magic weapon possessed considerable power.

“Wait.”

Han Li, using his eunuch clone, waved his hand.

He sensed the other’s ill intentions but refrained from immediately turning hostile.

The Demon Core clone was merely there to buy him some time; as long as it bought him a few more minutes to set up the formation, it would be a tactical victory. Therefore, being a little cowardly was acceptable.

And so,

in a corner of the island,

the main body had just reburied the array plate of the Inverted Five Elements Array, which was almost unearthed.

“Buzz…”

A hundred feet underground, the array plate returned to its place.

Han Li’s face grew even colder.

Looking up at the scarred-faced giant outside the island, he coldly snorted.

After sharing the information, the clone of the Fiend Core outside the island stopped its pretense and immediately launched into a tirade of profanities:

“You bullying dog, if you have the guts, come and bite your grandpa! If you don’t destroy me today, I will wipe out your entire family tomorrow. Trash, garbage, a clown who only knows how to bark, a shameless piece of trash, a despicable bastard who has a son who doesn’t even know what’s going on…”

The Fiend Core clone flew backward rapidly, spewing out punctuation marks as it went.

Before retreating back to its cave, it didn’t forget to throw out a small flag, clearly displaying the word “Idiot.”

At the Core Formation stage, these high-ranking cultivators, respected and admired by lower-level cultivators, and thus seemingly detached from worldly affairs, had never endured such insults and provocations.

It was practically a direct attack on their faces.

On the spot.

The scarred-faced giant was stunned for a moment after hearing the Fiend Core clone’s barrage of words, then his vision blurred with rage.

Furious:

“You dog, how dare you!”

Humiliation.

Shame.

What a humiliation!

Originally, his intention was to intimidate this man, making the newly promoted Core Formation cultivator believe that he had summoned nearby clansmen for support, thus forcing him to flee in panic. In this way, any arrangements on the island would become useless without their master’s control.

But now,

he couldn’t wait any longer, he couldn’t care less.

Besides, what kind of array formations could a mere Foundation Establishment junior possibly set up?

He just wanted to kill this foul-mouthed bastard as soon as possible.

“Die!”

…

Han Li had never cursed like this during the Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment stages, never used such a mind-altering tactic.

But at the Core Formation stage, and with his cultivation inferior, he chose to provoke the other party with a shrewish outburst.

Anger was good.

When angry, one would overlook many details, making it easier to fall into traps.

For example, what if the opponent plunged headlong into the area covered by the Inverted Five Elements Array?

However, while his idea was good, and his

insults were quite unexpected,

a Core Formation cultivator is still a Core Formation cultivator, possessing extraordinary composure and willpower.

After being momentarily blinded by anger, he quickly regained his senses.

So he stopped chasing the Demon Core clone onto the island.

Han Li could only sigh regretfully.

What a pity.

“I originally planned to use the advantage of the grand formation to wage a war of attrition, to wear this person down to death. Now, I have no choice but to use my trump card.”

The Qiankun Tower talisman and the Invisible Needle talisman were both losses every time they were used.

He didn’t want to use them unless absolutely necessary.

Now

that the other party had decided to kill and steal the treasure, how could he hold back?

“Delay will only lead to trouble.”

The Demon Core clone was preparing to fly out of the cave, using the Green Radiance Sword and the Water-Fire Gourd to engage the opponent head-on. He would then use the fragment of the silk handkerchief talisman to conceal his attack while activating the talisman from the side, giving the opponent a big surprise.

However, before the eunuch clone could take off, the scarred-faced man made his move first.

He tentatively threw the javelin talisman towards the cave area.

Han Li was not surprised but delighted: Good thing he made the move.

Immediately, he waved the main array flag, mobilizing the power of the Inverted Five Elements Array.

To lure the enemy deeper, he only mobilized half of its power.

This meant that the suddenly rising array light barrier failed to block the javelin magic weapon.

The light barrier was pierced through and then plunged into the earth.

The next moment.

Violent spiritual energy surged from the ground, erupting like a volcanic eruption.

Dozens of feet in radius were lifted up.

“Roar…”

A red dragon soared in the gushing lava, and the flying reefs and rock layers were instantly ground into dust under the fire dragon’s scorching power.

The violent spiritual energy, containing killing intent, raged and destroyed all life within a radius of dozens of feet.

“Is this the method of the Core Formation cultivators of the Chaotic Star Sea?”

Han Li, protected by his Fiend Core clone, saw this scene and his eyes narrowed slightly.

He could intuitively feel that this person was stronger than many early Core Formation cultivators on the Golden Drum Plain battlefield.

Li Huayuan, Uncle-Master Li, was probably no match for this person.

“Luckily, I was prepared; the array plates and flags were buried deep enough. Otherwise, I would have been in serious trouble.”

Nearly a hundred feet underground, numerous small orbs of light circled around, protecting the array plates and flags in a huge ring. The foundation of the great array deep underground was not affected or damaged.

“An eye for an eye.”

A skull-shaped talisman was activated, biting at the javelin magic weapon.

The javelin magic weapon neither dodged nor evaded, but thrust forward forcefully.

Han Li’s eyes narrowed upon seeing this.

He immediately activated all the remaining spiritual power of the skull-shaped talisman without reservation.

This treasure, which could originally be used three more times, would be gone after this.

At the same time, two Azure Condensation Mirrors appeared, shooting out two beams of light that accurately landed on the javelin that was being tightly bitten by the skull formed by the talisman.

Then, two mid-grade Golden Thread Talismans appeared.

A large number of golden threads shot out from the talisman, quickly enveloping the javelin magic weapon completely.

“Freeze!”

The talisman, combined with the mirror light of the two Azure Condensation Mirrors and the golden threads of the talisman, theoretically could greatly limit the magic weapon’s power.

“Hmph.”

How could the scarred-faced man allow his magic weapon to be suppressed and taken away?

After a light snort, he was about to recall it.

But just then, the light barrier of the Inverted Five Elements Array, which had been broken, rapidly repaired itself, and the breach was about to be completely healed.

Once the gap was closed, a large array would separate the magic weapon from its owner, greatly reducing the connection.

Thus, whether the javelin magic weapon would change hands was truly uncertain.

“Not good.”

The scarred-faced man thought to himself, realizing the situation was dire.

He had been careless.

He hadn’t expected this person to not only be well-versed in array formations and possess considerable array skills, but also to have a strange and wondrous treasure like the skull talisman, specifically designed to restrict other people’s treasures.

“I can’t lose the Cloud-Piercing Javelin.”

Although it wasn’t his natal magic weapon, it was still a powerful treasure.

Losing it would be a case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead.

Therefore, he flashed into the Reversed Five Elements Formation. In this way, the formation’s blocking effect…

“Not good! I’ve been tricked! This formation is strange!”

The big man’s expression changed drastically.

Before entering it himself, he didn’t think this formation was anything special. In his previous opinion, the person who set up the formation was just an unknown rogue cultivator at the Pseudo-Core Formation stage. Could he really produce such a powerful formation? It wasn’t

until he entered that his divine sense could no longer probe his surroundings, as if he were completely isolated from the world by the formation. Only then did he realize that he was very wrong. Only then did he

understand how extraordinary this formation was.

“This is… the Forbidden Formation?”

The big man felt his mouth go dry.

Looking at the place where his Fiend Core clone and Han Li were, his face was extremely ugly:

he had been tricked.

“Now, it’s my turn.”

Han Li flashed out of the formation and ran outside. He also took the magic spear with him, adding more binding measures before the skull’s effects wore off, to prevent any accidents. His

Fiend Core clone, inside the formation, held the Green Radiance Sword in one hand and the Water-Fire Gourd in the other.

The sword flashed, its blades slicing through the air, several sword beams slicing away.

The gourd opened, releasing water and fire, along with exploding lightning balls.

Then came five giant tiger puppets, fifty giant wolf puppets, and dozens of leopard puppets. Following this were hundreds of scorching beams of light and fiery compressed bombs bombarding the scarred man trapped in the formation.

He wanted to see if the opponent’s magic power was more abundant, or his spirit stones were more plentiful. (

10,000 words a day is too tiring.

My friends, give me your votes, let me see hope, and I can keep going!)
