Chapter 306 - 206: Karmic Retribution, Slaying the Celestial Pride

Cao Hong’s heart trembled in disbelief.

He desperately mobilized the remaining Array Power.

In an instant, dozens, even hundreds, of terrifying beams of Spiritual Light converged, weaving into a great net that completely sealed off Li Chang’an’s figure.

However, the moment the great net formed, it dimmed.

Another Array had collapsed!

This time, it was a Tier Two Top Grade Array that had crumbled.

’Impossible. What in the world is happening? How can Li Chang’an’s Array-Breaking Speed be this fast?’

With an ugly expression, Cao Hong gritted his teeth and controlled the remaining power, urging the great net to obliterate Li Chang’an.

But what happened next was a scene he would never forget for the rest of his life.

Li Chang’an didn’t dodge or evade. The Qi and blood in his body thundered as he, like a human-shaped tyrannosaurus, powerfully and domineeringly smashed through the entire net, completely unscathed!

His Body Refinement had reached the Tier Two Fourth Layer, enough to withstand the attacks of a Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

And his Ancient Wood Divine Armor, in its Borrowed State, could block attacks from a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

With the two combined, the Cao Family’s remaining Arrays couldn’t even break through his defense!

Just a few breaths later, yet another Array was broken.

"No! No!"

Cao Hong was thrown into a panic.

He hastily manipulated the remaining Array Power, relentlessly trying to besiege and kill Li Chang’an.

But as the Arrays collapsed one after another, the power of the attacks targeting Li Chang’an grew weaker and weaker.

In the end, Li Chang’an didn’t even need the Ancient Wood Divine Armor; his physical body alone was enough to withstand the bombardment from the Arrays.

’Damn it, is this Li Chang’an a man or a monster?’

Cao Hong’s face was pale, his heart filled with terror.

How could an Early Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator be this strong?

Although he wasn’t at Foundation Establishment, he had long since learned about the power of that realm from Cao Zhengxiong.

The Li Chang’an before him now was simply, unreasonably strong!

’Hold him off! I have to hold him off!’

Sweat beaded on Cao Hong’s forehead. His earlier heroic ambition of a "Qi Refining Kill Foundation Establishment" was gone, replaced by a desperate plea to hold on for just a little longer.

He knew that Cao Zhengxiong was on his way back.

As long as Cao Zhengxiong returned, there was still hope!

At this moment, the Cao Clan Members below had all fallen silent, no longer as arrogant as before.

The power Li Chang’an displayed was simply too shocking.

So much so that a sense of despair had begun to bloom in the hearts of many.

"Everyone, don’t give up! Ancestor Zhengxiong is on his way back and will arrive soon!"

"Our ancestor is at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment! This Li Chang’an is merely in the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment; he’s no match for the ancestor!"

In the oppressive atmosphere, the various Elders shouted one after another, trying to rally the Cao Clan Members.

Hearing this, many of the Cao Clan Members had their hope restored.

"That’s right! Once the ancestor arrives, this Li Chang’an will have no choice but to get on his knees and beg for mercy!"

They encouraged each other, their spirits lifting considerably.

However, before Cao Zhengxiong could return, Li Chang’an broke through the final Array in the Ring Array!

The sky above the Cao Clan Territory instantly brightened, and the crimson light of dusk shone into the clan grounds.

At this point, the Cao Family had no means of resistance left.

"Nine Grand Arrays. Not bad."

Li Chang’an collected all the Array Materials.

These materials were quite valuable and could be sold for a good price.

He swallowed a few Elixir Pills to recover his spent energy, then looked down at the Cao Clan Territory below, unleashing the full might of his Foundation Establishment pressure without reservation.

Under this terrifying pressure, many people’s faces turned deathly pale.

Cao Hong’s entire body tensed, a chill running through him. He truly did not want to face a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator directly.

But as the current Patriarch, he had no choice but to step forward.

"Li Chang’an, do you dare wait for our ancestor to return? He..."

BOOM!

He didn’t get to finish his sentence. He suddenly exploded, turning into a rain of blood that showered the Cao Clan Territory below.

This bloody scene made the many members of the Cao Family both terrified and furious.

A very old Cao Family Elder roared angrily, "Li Chang’an, we are all Qi Refining juniors! If you truly have any courage, then wait for our Cao Family’s ancestor to return!"

The moment his voice fell, he too exploded!

Underground, Dahuang shook the Venerable Soul Banner, collecting his Soul.

Li Chang’an said coolly, "A hundred-something-year-old fossil calls himself a junior in front of me?"

Next, several more people spoke up. But without exception, they all turned into a cloud of bloody mist.

’Actively seeking death to stall for time?’

Li Chang’an saw through their plan.

He spread his Divine Sense, sweeping it across the entire Cao Clan Territory.

A moment later, a peculiar location appeared in his Divine Sense.

’So they’re hiding here.’

The person Li Chang’an was looking for was, of course, the Cao Family’s Celestial Pride with the Top Grade Spirit Root.

His figure flickered, and in an instant, he appeared before a seemingly ordinary pavilion.

But inside this pavilion, there were actually two more Tier Two Grand Arrays!

Seeing Li Chang’an’s arrival, the faces of the many Cao Clan Members around the pavilion changed drastically.

"This is bad!"

"Quick, take Jingfeng and go! This old man will hold him back!"

A Qi Refining Ninth Layer Elder roared, unleashing a Forbidden Technique that burned his lifespan. He transformed into a streak of blood-red light, using his very life to block Li Chang’an.

But before he could even get close to Li Chang’an, his entire body disintegrated into a cloud of bloody mist.

In a flash, a dozen more people charged forward, desperately trying to obstruct Li Chang’an.

"Protect Jingfeng! With him, the Cao Family still has hope!"

"Kill!"

Behind them, several Qi Refining Ninth Layer clan elders were escorting a terrified-looking youth, flying away at high speed.

However, all their efforts were in vain.

In the blink of an eye, everyone was taken into the Venerable Soul Banner.

Li Chang’an raised a hand and beckoned.

"Come!"

The youth screamed as his body was pulled backward through the air, flying into Li Chang’an’s palm.

Under the Spirit Testing Technique, his innate Spirit Charm was laid bare for Li Chang’an to see.

’Forty-three strands of Spirit Charm. It is indeed a Top Grade Spirit Root, but it has barely crossed the Entry-Level threshold. Not even as good as mine.’
