Chapter 438: I Don't Believe!
Zhao Li hadn't expected that his trip to the Spirit Realm would coincidentally align with Hun Tiandi's direct attack on the Spirit Race.
Since he encountered it, he naturally wouldn't let the original events unfold. After breaking through the Realm of Nothingness, he descended into the Spirit Realm. His gaze slightly narrowed; he noticed something seemed different within the Spirit Race.
He suppressed the doubt in his heart and, after greeting Hun Tiandi, shifted his gaze. There was no other reason; within the Spirit Race, he sensed some slightly familiar auras.
His gaze swept over the Spirit Race members, then landed on a young man. Simultaneously, the images in his mind began to rewind: a year ago, ten years ago, a hundred years ago...
Finally, the image in his mind froze on a scene within a dilapidated Pocket World, in a village, on the face of a young man. Correspondingly, his name surfaced in Zhao Li's mind:
"Ling Poshan, Two-Star Dou Sheng. It's only been a hundred years, but this speed is already incredibly fast."
A hundred years ago, he entered a Pocket World ruin and obtained one of the greatest opportunities on his cultivation path. It was also during that time that he first encountered Hun Tiandi. For a long time afterward, Hun Tiandi was a nightmare weighing on his heart, and he remained extremely wary until he broke through to Dou Sheng.
A hundred years later, still within a Pocket World, he saw some familiar faces again, and he also saw Hun Tiandi. Only this time, the one losing composure wasn't himself. Perhaps for a long time to come, he would be Hun Tiandi's nightmare, until Hun Tiandi decided to abandon the obsession in his heart and stop viewing him as an enemy.
In a trance, Zhao Li seemed to perceive a cycle of reincarnation...
"Things truly are unpredictable."
He sighed softly. It turned out that, without realizing it, he had already lived on the Dou Qi Continent for over a hundred years. It turned out that the continent's former peak experts were now nothing before him.
While Zhao Li was lamenting the unpredictability of fate, like a cycle of reincarnation, the people within the Spirit Realm finally recovered from the despair of Hun Tiandi's attack and their own powerlessness to resist. Then, they revealed various expressions.
Zhao Li's entry by breaking through the realm didn't just startle Hun Tiandi; the Spirit Race members were also deeply shaken.
When Hun Tiandi personally came to their door and immediately demanded the Spirit Race surrender and hand over the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe Jade, they were a mix of shock and anger.
After all, their legacy spanned too long. Even though they knew the Spirit Race was in decline and no match for the Soul Clan, they hadn't expected Hun Tiandi to dare to suppress the Spirit Race alone. Underneath that inexplicable pride in their bones, they wanted Hun Tiandi to pay for his arrogance.
However, when Hun Tiandi sealed the Spirit Realm, and his mere aura suppressed everyone within the Spirit Realm, leaving them unable to move and only able to watch as Hun Tiandi took the Spirit Race descendants, they finally despaired.
Coincidentally, Zhao Li arrived at that moment, like a divine being descending from the heavens. Even those Spirit Race members who didn't know Zhao Li, no matter how foolish they were, understood that Zhao Li was absolutely no simple person because they saw the previously calm Hun Tiandi suddenly lose composure. Moreover, they weren't deaf; when Hun Tiandi exclaimed, they heard "Dou Di"!
They didn't want to believe it, yet it felt incredibly logical. The only one who could make an existence as terrifying as Hun Tiandi lose composure was likely a Dou Di.
Therefore, even though Zhao Li did nothing, just under his sweeping gaze, the Spirit Race members felt immense pressure. When Ling Potian noticed his gaze linger on him, he became extremely nervous.
Fortunately, someone quickly came to his rescue. Hun Tiandi's eyes flickered, clearly struggling, but eventually, a sinister glint appeared in them. He roared angrily:
"Playing tricks! Let This Seat expose your true face!"
Hearing this, Ling Poshan actually felt a sense of relief. Even if that person was Hun Tiandi, who had almost annihilated the Spirit Race, he wanted to thank him properly. There was no other reason; the pressure Zhao Li exerted on him was too immense!
Hearing Hun Tiandi's roar, Zhao Li was slightly surprised. He shifted his gaze back to Hun Tiandi and saw the madness in his eyes. Suddenly, he revealed a mocking smile and shouted:
"Noisy!"
Seeing Zhao Li's expression, Hun Tiandi's eyes grew even gloomier, and he finally made his move.
He didn't believe that something he had plotted for a thousand years and couldn't obtain would be acquired by someone before him!
Furthermore, the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe Jade of the Soul Clan and the Stone Clan had always been with him. According to Nihility Devouring Flame, without the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe Jade, no one could open the Ancient Emperor's Cave Dwelling. And besides the Ancient Emperor's Cave Dwelling, where else on the continent could one become a Dou Di?
If it were that easy, he wouldn't have plotted for a thousand years for an Ancient Emperor's Cave Dwelling!
In the end, Hun Tiandi couldn't accept the outcome of his thousand-year plot resulting in nothing but wasted effort. Thus, filled with monstrous unwillingness and determination, he attacked fiercely.
The Dou Qi within his body surged to the extreme in an instant, stirring up a terrifying energy tide. Under the surging of this energy tide, the Spirit Realm seemed to have a tendency to return to nothingness.
Yet, Hun Tiandi stood firm at the center of that vast and boundless Dou Qi. As his hand seals shifted, the surrounding Dou Qi also continuously condensed. Suddenly, he let out a low shout, and the monstrous Dou Qi condensed into a circular disc radiating death qi. The disc was covered in strange patterns; it looked like a formation.
The formation instantly took shape. His crimson eyes were also fixed on Zhao Li, with a look of near madness in them. Then, with a wave of his hand, a bloody light spewed from his palm and sprinkled onto the gray formation. The formation's power intensified even further. Finally, he pointed at Zhao Li and shouted:
"Soul Weep, Soul Suppressing Tombstone!"
As his voice fell, a corner of a stone appeared from within the formation, followed by the entire piece. It was actually a tombstone! Then came the second, the third...
The moment the tombstones appeared, the Spirit Race members immediately felt their heads spinning, as if they were about to fall into eternal darkness. In just an instant, besides a scarce few, no one could remain standing...
And this was just the residual power of the Soul Suppressing Tombstones. Their true targets weren't them, but Zhao Li!
Zhao Li could sense the terrifying nature of Hun Tiandi's Dou Technique. It was an attack specifically targeting the soul, with an implication of pulling the firewood from under the cauldron.
After all, when a person's soul is suppressed and falls into slumber, no matter how powerful the energy within their physical body, it cannot be unleashed!
This Dou Technique was likely to have a significant impact even on someone with an Emperor Realm Soul. Then, those tombstones could probably smash a Dou Sheng's physical body into pieces.
Unfortunately, they were facing Zhao Li, one of only two Heavenly Supremes in the continent's history, an existence that even a First Emperor could only suppress at the same realm by cheating with their realm!
"Soul methods? Not bad, but useless!"
Zhao Li praised, yet smiled indifferently. The endless tombstones shooting down from above were reflected in his dark pupils. Then, he extended a finger, gently pointed, and murmured:
"Forbidden, disperse."
His voice fell softly, like a heavenly decree. The cluster of Soul Suppressing Tombs, which had shot out like falling meteors, halted abruptly just a zhang away from Zhao Li. Then, they began to dissipate as if winter snow had met warm sunlight.
Simultaneously, Zhao Li's finger also passed through space and landed lightly on the formation.
