Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

"Spirit Root Stabilizing Talisman, lock!"

"Ten Thousand Trees Return to Spring Talisman, explode!"

"Hold on for me!"

The first Spirit Talisman activated, locking the chaotic, mutually-restraining Spiritual Roots, preventing them from acting up.

The second Spirit Talisman activated, dense Life Force surged out, rapidly covering his whole body.

Suddenly, his withered left arm rippled with a layer of golden light, as if a sharp saber within his flesh and blood had sliced away all the invading toxins.

Then Metal generated Water; a warm, moist current spread out, flushing all the coldness from his meridians completely clean.

When it came to Water generating Wood, combined with the Ten Thousand Trees Return to Spring Talisman's Special Effect, his originally heavily injured flesh body recovered in an instant.

Seeing this scene, the three giant snakes formed from the Lightning Column rapidly changed, suddenly biting each other's tails to form a rotating Lightning Ring.

It possessed Metal's cutting.

It possessed Water's cold.

It even possessed Wood's corruption.

Both sides instantly fell into a war of attrition, seeing who would fail to endure first.

Hiss—

The clothes on Li Lingbi's body burst apart.

Flesh body, wounds appearing one moment, rapidly healing the next.

His complexion, at a speed visible to the naked eye, grew paler and paler, more and more insubstantial.

【22】 Zzt!

Zzzzt!

Zzt!!

Zzt!!!

Three snakes encircled, continuously releasing three types of attribute damage.

Sometimes taking turns, sometimes fusing together.

For an ordinary person, not to mention blocking it, they would likely perish body and soul in an instant.

This kind of scene, even separated by a distance of over a thousand meters, still made one's hair stand on end.

Time continuously passed; to outsiders, it might have been merely a few breaths.

But for the person involved, it was simply seconds feeling like years, as excruciating as it could possibly be.

Fortunately, in the end, Li Lingbi ultimately endured.

As a Three Spirit Roots genius, not only was he valued by his Master, but he was also fully supported by his Clan, and received backing from many powers.

If he couldn't even hold on through this, who knows how many people would be disappointed.

The current Li Lingbi looked exceptionally wretched.

The Ling Chan Bao Yi was tattered like cloth strips.

The Clear Profound Water Mirror had thoroughly shattered.

The Green Jade Entwined Gold Ring only had half a section left.

His whole person was almost unrecognizable as human.

Yet his aura climbed steadily, growing ever more fierce.

Under the three snakes' attack, a Golden Core gradually solidified in his Qi Sea.

On the Golden Core's surface, one could faintly see golden, azure, and green Spiritual Light flowing.

Li Lingbi raised his head to look at the Three-Colored Tribulation Clouds, unable to help but grin, his smile carrying a trace of pride, and also a trace of mockery.

The Second Layer of Heavenly Tribulation not only failed to knock him down, but instead made the Three Spirit Roots' synergy even more harmonious; this Earth Grade Golden Core... he was determined to have it!

However, a "rumble" sounded once more from the Sky above.

At first listen, it sounded as if a great mansion was collapsing, heavy objects shifting horizontally.

Immediately after, the Three-Colored Tribulation Clouds changed again, beginning to rotate clockwise, blending the gold, azure, and green colors together, transforming into a giant gray-black Vortex.

Suddenly, an incomparably heavy pressure descended; even Xu Zhangqing and the others over a thousand meters away felt incomparably heavy, as if carrying a Giant Stone on their backs.

The smile on Li Lingbi's face instantly froze.

The gray-black Vortex grew increasingly turbid, increasingly dense, as if a great curtain was pressing down to cover this Heaven and Earth.

Under the immense pressure, the entire Nine-Layer Water Control Pavilion emitted "pu pu pu" sounds of breaking water; cracks appeared in many places, and large amounts of living water flowed out from within.

At this moment, the Myriad Fish Array activated again; all the fish swam around the Water Control Pavilion, releasing ten thousand strands of Spiritual Light as they moved.

Dense Water Spiritual Energy was guided; one part was used to repair the Water Control Pavilion, while another part poured into Li Lingbi's body.

Causing him, as the primary Water Spiritual Root cultivator, to suddenly receive a Special Effect's blessing.

Remaining wounds, weak body, withered Spirit — all rapidly recovered at this moment.

Seeing this scene, envy appeared in many people's eyes.

Behind the Water Control Pavilion stood none other than Nascent Soul True Lord Mo Qiu Shui.

Although the other party could not directly intervene, even a casual minor technique could benefit Li Lingbi endlessly.

Xu Zhangqing couldn't help but sigh: "The difference between having a Master and not having one is manifested to the fullest at this moment."

Having a Master is equivalent to having a backer.

Without a master, one is but a lone boat in a vast ocean.

To put it bluntly, this is the same as the difference between immortal sect disciples and loose cultivators.

Immortal sect disciples have the immortal sect behind them; resources, cultivation methods, and connections are never scarce, and when breaking through realms, they can find many countermeasures.

Conversely, the situation of loose cultivators is different; it can be said to be quite miserable.

No background, no backing, no connections, no resources — the vast majority of the time they can only rely on themselves.

They work hard for a lifetime, thinking to break through a realm, but in the end they merely make wedding clothes for others.

In the loose cultivator group, this kind of thing is seen time and again; it plays out almost every day.

"What is that?"

"A monster?"

"A three-headed monster?"

Suddenly, cries of alarm rose from the crowd.

Immediately after, everyone looked toward the sky once more.

They discovered that in the gray-black vortex, a lightning column as thick as a zhang surged out, but it did not attack Li Lingbi at the first moment; instead it kept swelling, and finally gave birth to a three-headed monster.

The left head bore a spiral giant horn, as if twisted from countless long spears, its surface covered in spiritual runes, each emitting an extremely sharp aura.

With a slight shake, beams of light like golden blades shot out, slicing the air and emitting a piercing shriek.

The middle head resembled a flood dragon yet not a flood dragon, resembled a snake yet not a snake, wreathed in dark blue cold qi; the air froze into ice, even light freezing and twisting.

Its whiskers were like two slender ice stalactites; as they exhaled and inhaled, the cold qi they brought forth even froze the Black Lake solid, countless fish freezing to death directly.

The right head was like a huge withered wood tumor, its surface uneven with pits, covered in dense thorny poison vines; they intertwined and twisted, squeezing out drops of black poison liquid.

The entire area was filled with an extremely dense stench.

"This is a Three-Calamity Thunder Beast!"

"If it were four spirit roots, that would be four heads!"

"Wouldn't that mean five spirit roots is five heads?"

"Why do you think about five spirit roots every day?"

"Uh..."

Xu Zhangqing opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.

Li Sancai was extremely nervous: "Ling Bi, hold on, you must endure!"

At this moment, who knows how many people were cheering and shouting support for Li Lingbi.

Once he breaks through to an Earth Grade Golden Core, whether relatives, friends, or partners, all will obtain unprecedented benefits.

After all, Golden Cores are divided into three grades.

Human Grade Golden Core is the worst, the least threatening.

If one breaks through to an Earth Grade Golden Core, they will awaken a divine ability according to their spiritual root.

And an Earth Grade Golden Core possessing a divine ability has extremely terrifying strength.

One could even say that Li Lingbi will become a pillar of the immortal sect in the future.

Ang~~~

Abruptly, the Three-Calamity Thunder Beast let out a deafening roar.

Like the prelude to a decisive battle unfolding.

A terrifying aura instantly surged and spread violently.

The Golden Head moved first; it violently shook its spiral giant horn, and in an instant, tens of thousands of golden light blades shot out like a pouring rainstorm.

The Water Head followed close behind, spewing a dense cold breath from its mouth; wherever it passed, the air along the way froze into frost.

The Wood Head was not to be outdone; the poison vines were like the source of deadly poison, dense poison liquid transforming into a great net covering downward, as if to dissolve all things below!
