Chapter 949: Chapter 917: The Three Xuan Sha Demons, 1000-Spirit Immortal-Slaying Sword

This time, the family competition has brought forth many outstanding talents, giving us insight into who to focus on in future family cultivation.

Meanwhile, the Li Family and the Long Family have used this occasion to showcase their immense strength and rising stars to the outside world.

"Indeed, indeed, the younger generation is formidable. You are all the cultivation dao seeds of the family, and your future achievements will undoubtedly surpass ours as elders."

At the awards ceremony, Li Mingxu chuckled. Whether looking at the cultivators from his family or those from the Long Family, his expression was one of admiration.

Li Shuwan and others exchanged smiles, all displaying humility.

This competition allowed them to witness many outstanding cultivators among their peers; if they don’t strive in their cultivation, they will inevitably fall behind.

You must work hard in cultivation.

This time, the rewards were incredibly generous and given out in two stages.

First, the top three of the Foundation Establishment Grand Competition each received three Five Elements Crystals. It’s worth noting that these three crystals can be chosen based on attribute preference.

For example, the second-place winner Li Mingyi, who is a fire attribute cultivator, chose three Li Fire Crystals to be used for the Crystallization Stage.

The other two winners similarly chose their Five Elements Crystals according to their needs.

The three Five Elements Crystals are just part of the reward; additionally, there were spirit stone awards: 100,000 for first place, 70,000 for second place, 30,000 for third, and a Tier Three Top-Grade Magical Artifact for each person.

After the awards for the Foundation Establishment Grand Competition were given.

Next was the Crystallization Stage Competition awards, similar to those of the Foundation Establishment Competition.

The difference is that instead of Five Elements Crystals, each received three Golden Cores to be used for the Golden Core Stage.

The magical artifacts were upgraded to Tier Four Top-Grade Magical Artifacts, and the spirit stones awards tripled.

Li Shuwan won first place.

Each received their awards, and Li Shuwan, Li Mingyi, Long Lingshu, Long Lingzhi, and the other six were delighted and ready to step down stage.

At this moment, a commotion suddenly arose among the crowd.

The concerns of the Li Family came true, despite the Elemental Magnetic Star Ring and the presence of two Nascent Soul True Monarchs; someone still came to cause trouble during the family competition.

Three black-robed figures suddenly acted, revealing powerful auras that made many cultivators exclaim. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Nascent Soul Stage cultivators!"

The aura of these three figures reached the Mid-stage Nascent Soul level. As they appeared and dispersed, each activated the array plates they had prepared for a long time.

In the blink of an eye, dazzling array lights rose, and a formation was instantly set up, enveloping the entire square area.

"Who are you?"

All this happened in a flash before most people could react; they saw the array had already formed. Li Mingxu furrowed his brow and shouted, "This place is the Li Family Territory, gentlemen, it is best not to invite trouble."

With that, he summoned a Lifebound Flying Sword and slashed towards the surrounding array.

Boom.

A Nascent Soul True Monarch’s strike can unleash astonishing power in an instant.

However, when this sword struck the barrier of the array, it did not break the formation, and the flying sword was violently repelled.

"Tier Five Array?"

Li Mingxu’s expression changed, sensing something amiss, he looked again at the three Nascent Soul cultivators, seeing that they had revealed their faces, letting out a series of sinister laughs.

"Hehehe... Old fellow of the Li Family, don’t waste your efforts. This is the Heaven and Earth Dragon Trapping Array, unbreakable with Mid-stage Nascent Soul power."

"Surrender and become nourishment beneath my Thousand Spirits Immortal Slaying Sword, hahaha."

"Kekeke, with so many cultivators gathered, you prepared treasures for us. I shall gladly accept them today."

The three Nascent Soul cultivators spoke in turn, their voices echoing through the sky, the second voice was truly spine-chilling.

Upon hearing the term Thousand Spirits Immortal Slaying Sword, together with these Demon Monarch figures, some elderly cultivators turned pale and exclaimed in shock, "It’s the Profound Evil Three Demons from Illusion God Mountain, we’re in trouble."

This statement reignited the already unsettled atmosphere.

"Illusion God Mountain’s demon cultivators, these are the Profound Evil Three Demons."

"Terrible, these three demons are said to be Mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, infamous for a long time. Their Thousand Spirits Immortal Slaying Sword, no – Demon Sword, Evil Sword – requires cultivators’ divine souls for refining."

"Bad news, run!"

Amidst the crowd, panic ensued, with people attempting to flee from the Li Family with their juniors.

In no time, dozens of figures escaped in all directions, either using Escape Techniques or activating their artifacts to flee.

"Kekeke, just a bunch of ants on a hot pot, what’s the point in struggling? You will all end up being refined by me."

Profound Spirit Old Demon among the Profound Evil Three Demons laughed insidiously, resembling a middle-aged beautiful woman.

She waved her hand, releasing a blood-red flying sword that exhibited overwhelming demonic and evil qi, slashing towards several nearby external cultivators.

Among these cultivators was a Golden Ring level expert, whose cultivation reached the Sixth Layer Golden Core.

Next to him was a Second-Layer Golden Core friend, along with two juniors in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Facing the strike from the Thousand Spirits Immortal Slaying Sword, the cultivator’s expression changed, instinctively wanting to dodge, but realized it was too late.

He found himself locked by the demon sword, unable to evade, and was forced to grit his teeth and summon a defensive spiritual artifact to block.

This was a Tier Five High-Grade Turtle Shell Shield, which upon activation, was slashed open with a bang, unable to withstand.

Before the Golden Core Ancestor could scream, he and the Turtle Shell Shield were split open by one sword.

The crowd turned pale with shock, their eyes fixated as the Thousand Spirits Immortal Slaying Sword continued to emanate demonic power, absorbing the opponent’s divine soul.

The divine soul was unable to resist, instantly devoured by the demon sword, the dark red light on the sword flickered.

"What an eerie demon sword."

Seeing that even Golden Core cultivators had no resistance and were instantly killed, unable to escape the divine soul being consumed by the Thousand Spirits Immortal Slaying Sword, many cultivators showed panic, and chaos ensued.

"What audacity."

At this moment, Li Mingxu shouted angrily, urging his Lifebound Flying Sword to fiercely slash towards Profound Spirit Old Demon.

"Heh, a minor trick."

Black Death Demon sneered, robes fluttering, as a black flying needle appeared in his hand, shooting towards the flying sword aimed at Profound Spirit Old Demon.

This item was the Black Death Bone-Piercing Nail, the Lifebound Demon Treasure of Black Death Demon. Upon release, it transformed into a black stream visible to the naked eye, with extreme speed, striking the flying sword with a clang.

The two clashed head-on, the flying sword was shaken, altering its attack path, while Profound Spirit Old Demon arrogantly wielded the Thousand Spirits Immortal Slaying Sword, massively harvesting nearby cultivators’ lives, aiming to refine their divine souls with the demon sword.
