Patriarch is Taking Concubines Again! chapter-168

Chapter 168

“Boom!”

Instantly, the restraints around the formation collapsed, and an immense volume of water surged in all directions. Tens of kilometers of water collapsing at once was even more terrifying than a mountain crumbling. If the water continued to flow as it was, it would devastate everything in its path. The impact of water collapsing from a height of 33 kilometers and surging in all directions would be immense. Even an Energy Refining stage cultivator in the vicinity would be in dire straits, unable to ascend quickly and likely submerged in the water.

“Here comes the water!” At this moment, Liu Xinshui and Liu Xinyue, who had been guarding outside, sprang into action. The two sisters used their spells to guide the surging water into the Mustard Seed Formation area. Some water escaped Li Su’s formations, but the sisters managed to control it. They used their spells and the Sunflower Water Pearls to stop the water and, if necessary, absorb it. The Sunflower Water Pearls contained Sunflower Water’s power, which greatly aided their cultivation and could be used as raw materials for crafting valuable water-based treasures. These pearls alone were insufficient. They required other precious components.

Thanks to the efforts of the two sisters and the guidance of Li Su, along with the assistance of the Falling Cloud Sect’s two Nascent Souls and their formation, the surging water didn’t cause significant destruction in the vicinity. While an immense volume of water collapsed into the center, engulfing the entire area would take some time.

Bi Luo grew anxious and offered to save the water. However, the Sect Leader of the Purple Polar Gate advised against it, noting that Li Su was prepared for this situation. This revelation surprised Bi Luo, as she hadn’t expected Li Su to have handled the matter in advance.

The more than ten Nascent Soul members from the sea clan were shocked by the composure of the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Northern Region and their decision not to save the water. This lack of panic on the part of the Northern Region cultivators signaled trouble for the sea clan Nascent Soul members. Releasing all the water would mean losing their home-field advantage, making the battle even more challenging.

The Black Dragon recognized the seriousness of the situation and intensified its attacks, but Li Su continued to stand his ground, and the water was gradually draining away. The sea clan Nascent Soul members grew increasingly anxious, and their situation worsened when Liu Xinyue joined the battle.

Without their home-field advantage, they were overwhelmed by the growing number of opponents. As a result, one of the sea clan Nascent Soul members suggested a retreat, and the others followed suit. They had no other option, given their injuries and the overwhelming opposition from the Northern Region.

More than twenty Nascent Soul cultivators from the Northern Region joined the battle against the Black Dragon. Despite facing multiple opponents, the Black Dragon remained formidable, and both sides continued to battle intensely for an entire day. The Black Dragon even appeared to grow stronger as the battle raged on.

If not for the Bixia Treasure Mirror in the hands of the cultivator Jin, some of the Nascent Souls might have been defeated by now. Observers marveled at his incredible luck.

However, good news arrived for Li Su after this intense battle. Incredibly, he had two spiritual root descendants born within a single day. These were descendants of his descendants, and it was considered extraordinarily fortunate to have such rapid success. Sometimes, it might take a whole month to give birth to just one spiritual root descendant, and now, he had two in a single day. It was as if the heavens themselves were favoring him.

Li Su was pleased and chose to receive his rewards. As expected, his Nascent Soul energy was instantly replenished. He then decided to cultivate his Nascent Soul to break through to the Nascent Divinity stage amidst the ongoing battle.

The battle raged on, and the Black Dragon displayed no intention of retreating. It wasn’t particularly interested in the Nascent Souls from the Northern Region. Instead, he seemed determined to engage in a life-and-death struggle with Li Su. A Nascent Divinity, after two days of fighting, surprisingly couldn’t defeat a mere Nascent Soul cultivator. If it didn’t deal with Li Su, it could forget about obtaining the fragments of the Holy Relic within the Bixia Sect. Similarly, it would become a stepping stone in Li Su’s path to fame and glory.

In the future, when Li Su’s name becomes renowned worldwide, others will also mention it as the backdrop. This would be its shame! Perhaps, in its current state, defeating Li Su was more important to it than obtaining the Holy Relic fragments!

Li Su remained undaunted as well. Breaking through during such intense combat would make his foundation more stable. Therefore, Li Su went all out in the battle. The conflict between both sides escalated further. The sea clan, Nascent Soul members, occasionally tried to join the fight, but, given their previous injuries, Liu Xinshui alone was enough to fend them off. Another day passed, and there was still no clear victor in this prolonged battle.
