I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense

Chapter 724 -725: The Lower Realm Cultivators Are Not Ordinary

The man was pinned under the foot of the beggar, his eyes glazed and his face ashen.

He couldn’t imagine how he had been instantly killed by a person from the Lower Realm in one move, and it seemed that the other party hadn’t even used their full strength.

“This is impossible, absolutely impossible, there’s clearly a large amount of lower-grade spiritual power left inside you, how can you surpass me in both quality and quantity of Immortal Spirit Power?”

“I am a cultivator born and bred in the Central Origin Realm, after all!”

“You say you’re just a Half-step Human Immortal, at most on the same level as me, what are you pretending for? Just accept our interrogation honestly, why bother getting beaten?”

The beggar curled his lips, full of contempt.

“Let’s get him under control first.”

The Old Dragon King seemed to conjure a rope from nowhere and tied the man up tightly, making sure he couldn’t escape.

“There shouldn’t be anyone else coming through the other end of the passage, right?”

Li Xiaobai beckoned and moved closer to the Spiritual Power Vortex to inspect it.

The man secretly exerted force and the rope didn’t budge, causing his heart to once again be filled with shock and horror—he couldn’t break free from this rope!

What kind of strength was this?

The beggar-like figure was one thing, but how could he not break free from the rope of this Dragon Race Demonic Beast?

Could it be that the Immortal Spirit Qi inside the people here was so pure?

Could they really cultivate to such an extent with only the Immortal Spirit Qi that was administered every few decades?

At this moment, his worldview was greatly shaken. In the eyes of cultivators from the Upper Realm, the Earth Spirit Realm was just a speck of land, a place inhabited by unenlightened barbarians, even referred to as pigs, a group of lowly ants whose lives and deaths could be easily controlled.

But having witnessed it today, it didn’t seem to be the case at all!

The several Half-step Human Immortals before him were stronger than any he had ever encountered; it seemed as if they could squash him with ease, the disparity was so great that it drove him to despair.

He was the one who lived in a far more affluent environment, practiced Upper Realm Cultivation Techniques, and cultivated Immortal Yuan, so why was he flipped over by a slap from a barbarian of the Lower Realm in the end?

Is the Immortal Spirit Continent really as weak as the old seniors of the Upper Realm said, full of weak ants?

He dared not imagine, were these people to be let loose in the Upper Realm, it would probably take less than ten years for them to stir up storms and become distinguished figures.

However, Li Xiaobai and the others didn’t care about the man’s thoughts; they were currently circling the Spiritual Power Vortex, inspecting it closely to ensure that no one else was coming through the passage.

“There should be no one else in here, right?”

“We can’t see anything, should we go in and try?”

“No, now is not the time to enter the Upper Realm. Tomorrow, let’s first snatch the Immortal Spirit Qi, then get in touch with those geniuses.”

“Exactly, exactly, we must make ample preparations before entering the Upper Realm, it is very necessary to pillage a few Cultivation Techniques and completely control the Immortal Spirit Qi in our bodies.”

“I agree, since the ones coming down are the prodigies of the Upper Realm, they definitely possess valuable belongings on them, we need to grab them first, preferably after advancing to the Heavenly Immortal Realm before going to the Upper Realm!”

The group whispered among themselves, completely unaware of the ghost-like expression on the face of the man tied up behind them.

At this moment, his heart was in turmoil.

Because he realized, this bunch was lawless, seemingly not afraid of people from the Upper Realm at all, and they had a strong invasive will in their bones. Is this what the cultivators from the Barbaric Lands are like?

What had he heard just now?

These audacious fools actually plan to rob the Upper Realm’s favored ones of their cultivation techniques and resources!

Moreover, they even intend to travel to the Upper Realm through this channel formed by the Spiritual Power Vortex!

Don’t these barbarians know the meaning of fear?

“No, this can’t be right. Having heard such a secret matter, could it be that they want to silence me by killing me?”

“That woman wielding the golden staff seems hell-bent on searching my soul, and that seemingly ordinary youth actually possesses the Heart of the Blood Demon, a taboo divine skill in the Upper Realm!”

I can’t just sit here and wait for death; there’s an evil aura all over these people. I must run away quickly!

The man quietly started to activate his cultivation technique, preparing to slip away when a golden staff stabbed into a giant rock beside him with unerring accuracy.

“This guy is quite slippery. Just search his soul directly; he surely knows a lot, and this will be the most efficient way,”

Liuren said indifferently, a pair of beautiful eyes filled with murderous intent.

“Please, please, esteemed seniors, soul searching can only yield fragmented information, not the complete memory. I’ve grown up in the Upper Realm since I was a child. If there’s anything you want to know, just ask directly, and I will tell you everything I can!”

“I only beg you, esteemed seniors, to spare my life.”

The man spoke in a panic, his desire to survive extremely strong.

“What’s your name, who is your master, and why are you dressed in such tattered clothes?”

Li Xiaobai asked.

“I am called Hu Zuo, with neither Sect nor master. I am a Loose Cultivator. The reason I’m in such a sorry state is because I was being chased by the Enforcement Hall when I arrived…”

The man narrated his entire life experience in the Upper Realm, almost completely laying it bare; the crowd circled around him with keen interest.

As it turned out, Hu Zuo was just an ordinary Loose Cultivator in the Upper Realm. Because of his poor aptitude, no Sect was willing to accept him. He struggled everywhere, fighting for resources to cultivate, and only managed to reach the realm of a Half-step Human Immortal in his forties or fifties.

During this time, he accidentally killed a Sect Disciple of a significant Sect, which led to him being pursued by cultivators from the Enforcement Hall.

This altar was something he stumbled upon in some ancient ruins, kindling the thought of escaping to the Lower Realm to evade the chase; little did he expect, people in the Lower Realm were even more brutal, flipping him over without even asking questions.

“The Immortal Spirit Continent is known as the Earth Spirit Realm, while the Upper Realm is actually called the Central Origin Realm?” freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

The Old Dragon King asked, expressing interest in these terms.

“That’s right, that’s what we have always called them.”

“Hu Zuo? Do you perhaps also have a brother named Fei Wei?” The Kraken moved closer and asked with a sly grin.

“Cough, cough, you have an eye for detail, sir; indeed, I had a partner, but he’s already dead…”

“Stop talking about such trivial matters, talk about the important things. Do you recognize any of the prodigies from the Central Origin Realm that are coming down? What’s their strength like?” Li Xiaobai continued to ask.

“To my knowledge, those coming down this time should be disciples of a few major dynasties; even in the Upper Realm, they hold high status. The first batch to come down will have the weakest strength, posing no real threat, but the later the disciples descend, the stronger they will be. It’s even said that geniuses from the Heavenly Immortal Realm will join the battleground!”

“Why do they want to come down here, merely for a trial?”

“They are here to pioneer the wilderness, for the Upper Realm cultivators, the Lower Realm is a Barbaric Land waiting to be developed; all people and things will become their private property.”

“The disciples coming down first are just the vanguard to probe; later on, real powerhouses will descend to take charge and divide up the Earth Spirit Realm.”

“Please let me go, sirs, I can take you to the Upper Realm to avoid this disaster!”
