Chapter 309: Chapter 310: Altar

“Come hit me!”

Li Xiaobai beckoned to the Great Crossing Realm Cultivator with a hook of his finger, eager to find out if these experts could still land a blow on him.

Ji Wuqing also jeered from the side, “Old fool, bring it on!”

He had felt somewhat uneasy when he first saw so many powerful figures approaching, but now, seeing Li Xiaobai’s valiant fight without showing any signs of weakness, his spirits soared. This was an excellent opportunity to show off, and he wouldn’t let it pass.

The elder from the Great Crossing Realm had a grim expression and remained silent. The Demonic Divine Spirit behind him materialized, and the terrifying fluctuations of spiritual power swept across in all directions. He pointed a finger into the void, sending a streak of starlight piercing towards Li Xiaobai.

“Starlight Finger!”

A large, phantom finger appeared in the void, pressing down straight towards Li Xiaobai.

The ground beneath the altar suddenly sank, the surface cracked, and rocks tumbled. The formidable pressure made many of the cultivators present struggle to breathe, as if a massive stone was crushing their chests.

As the horror of the Great Crossing Realm’s spiritual pressure bore down, Li Xiaobai’s expression remained unchanged, carefully observing the system panel in front of him.

[Attribute Points +20000…]

Not bad. The old man’s strength must be considered mediocre among those in the Great Crossing Realm, a far cry from the likes of the Western Desert’s old Buddha and the King of the Kingdom of Women. They’re not on the same level.

In the stunned eyes of the onlookers, Li Xiaobai reached out and grasped the large finger in the void before smacking his lips and saying, “This finger is quite hard.”

“Impossible!”

“What is your cultivation level? Even the finest Magic Treasure wouldn’t be able to block my cultivation technique without a scratch!”

The elder’s face changed dramatically. He had not been probing but had seriously attempted to kill Li Xiaobai with his move. Yet now, the latter showed no reaction at all, as if it was merely an ordinary finger that had poked him.

The elder knew that with a single finger of his, even cultivators at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage would perish in large numbers.

Could it be that the other party was also at the Great Crossing Realm?

This thought had only just emerged before he snuffed it out. It was absolutely impossible. The Great Crossing Realm was incredibly difficult to reach. How old was Li Xiaobai? At most, he had been cultivating for several decades. How could he have reached this realm?

There must be some unknown method he was using.

“Ever heard of a realm called ‘invincible’?”

“Ever heard of an attitude called ‘conquering’?”

“Old man, your attacks are utterly useless. My heart remains untroubled, and I even feel like laughing.”

Li Xiaobai chuckled.

“Giggle, old fool, your attack is utterly useless. This supreme one’s heart remains untroubled, and I even feel like laughing!”

Ji Wuqing mocked as well.

“Presumptuous brat, how dare you insult me!”

The elder’s face turned ferocious with rage, and as the Demonic Divine Spirit’s eyes in the void shot out sharp glints, a long spear appeared in the elder’s hands, its tip aimed straight for Li Xiaobai’s throat.

“Bang!”

Golden sparks flew in all directions as the spear’s tip struck Li Xiaobai’s neck but could not penetrate even a fraction of an inch.

The elder’s arms bulged with veins, his face turning red with effort.

“Die, die for me!”

“This is not a magic treasure, how can your flesh be so hard that even my magic treasure can’t pierce it?”

Li Xiaobai smiled faintly, “This is an invincible realm, you can’t touch me. It’s lonely at the top, the feeling of invincibility is like solitude amid the snow.”

“Hehe, boy, although I’m not clear on what you’re relying on to oppose us, today I, the sect master, will make you disappear from the Immortal Spirit Continent forever!”

Zhen Tiannan sneered with a sinister laugh.

The several sect masters had been watching with cold eyes and had already figured out that this Li Xiaobai must be a cultivator who trained his body, and that his realm was not low; perhaps he even possessed some secret treasure that allowed him to be fearless against the assault of Great Crossing Realm Experts.

However, all of this was irrelevant to them now, as they had no intention of forcefully confronting Li Xiaobai today.

“Then I shall wait and see!”

Li Xiaobai’s eyes narrowed as he stared at Zhen Tiannan in front of him, wanting to collect as many Attribute Points as possible now. It wasn’t often that so many powerful figures gathered together, and the chance to be thrashed harshly like this was rare.

“What do you think?”

“Let’s take action directly!”

The Three Sects’ Sect Masters instantly reached a consensus, forming seals with their hands, triggering an explosion on the altar in front of them, which caused violent shaking on the high platform.

Li Xiaobai clearly saw the nightglow cup on the high platform slowly sinking, and in its place, a bottomless black hole appeared. The strong golden light was brilliant, illuminating the land, and the layers of spatial fluctuations trembled violently; this was the aura emitted by an existence suppressed under the altar.

Just a whiff of that aura sent shivers down one’s spine, embodying a bone-chilling coldness exclusive to the cultivators of the Sea Clan.

“Hehe, Li Xiaobai, no matter if you are a genius or a devilish talent, today you have but one path to death. There’s no need for me to act personally; you will vanish on your own in there. Enjoy it!”

Zhen Tiannan laughed heartily, as his seal spells changed, causing intense tremors to emanate from the altar.

At the same time, a tremendous suction force suddenly came from the black hole, intending to draw in all living beings on the altar.

“Cackle, boy save me!”

Ji Wuqing was sucked in and disappeared in an instant.

Li Xiaobai’s expression changed dramatically; this was a controlling move, and he couldn’t escape it.

His wrist flipped, pulling out a golden talisman in an attempt to teleport away, but it was still a step too late. The black hole’s suction was too strong, and in just an instant, his body was completely swallowed by the darkness.

The elderly Great Crossing Realm expert who had attacked him before was also drawn in, as he too was standing on the high platform, utterly unprepared for the sudden appearance of the black hole.

“Zhen Tiannan, you old scoundrel, you’ve plotted against me!”

“I will remember this grudge!”

“Hehe, let’s see if you can even get out and talk about it. But, according to my judgment, you won’t be able to come out.”

Zhen Tiannan sneered inwardly. Not only was the altar activated to allow Li Xiaobai to enter, a Great Crossing Realm expert was now an adequate offering as well.

It was true that the altar suppressed the Sea Clan, but there were key pieces of information they hadn’t divulged. The fact was, the Three Sects had long reached an agreement with the Sea Clan’s bigshot, periodically sending entry to Heaven and Earth Treasures for the bigshot’s cultivation.

In return, however, the Sea Clan had to provide a drop of special blood essence every year, which was refined from the Sea Clan cultivators’ own Bloodline Power, having miraculous effects on cultivation.

The Sea Clan could transform into human form, but they weren’t part of the human race. Their original form was that of a Demonic Beast, and the blood essence was exacted from that bloodline power.

Today, sending in a Li Xiaobai along with a Great Crossing Realm expert was enough to match those Heaven and Earth Treasures.

What they had opened was merely the entrance to the altar; the Formation that truly suppressed the Sea Clan was even deeper, so they weren’t worried at all that the Sea Clan could escape.

Together, they sealed the black hole in the altar, and the nightglow cup at the center of the altar slowly rose again.

The eyes of several sect masters glowed with a fervent light. According to routine, the Sea Clan member below would soon condense the blood essence and place it on the nightglow cup.
