I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 511: Chapter 509: Building Collapse_1

“Which evil spirit dares to run amok in Duobao Tower!”

A chastisement roared like a thunderclap.

Then, from the top of Duobao Tower, a tremendous spiritual light shot up into the sky, scattering into a protective spiritual energy shield, sheltering the entire Tower.

Countless paper puppets and paper beasts wrapped in yin qi were kept out by the spiritual energy.

No matter how much the yin qi tried to infiltrate, the spiritual energy shield remained unwavering.

Three trails of light burst out from different parts of Duobao Tower. The figures of three extraordinary Golden Core Real People appeared, solemnly watching the world of yin creatures reminiscent of ghost lizards outside.

“With Golden Cores getting involved, I wonder if they can stop these two calamity-level evil spirits.”

“But with them standing in front, I feel relieved. At least, these evil spirits won’t pay attention to a small fry like me.”

Lu Xuan quietly retracted his spiritual power and pretended to be a Foundation Establishment Mid-term cultivator. He was considered average in Duobao Tower, neither weak enough to be considered an easy target nor a problem to be dealt with urgently.

In Duobao Tower, three Golden Core Real People hovered in the air, their spiritual energy rolling violently, ready to unleash at any moment.

“Senior Brother, these two evil spirits are extraordinarily powerful. Even the three of us together might find it difficult to cope.”

A female cultivator who appeared cold and aloof with her entire body enveloped in rolling, azure-blue spiritual light, giving off the vibe of a surging tsunami, spoke in a low voice.

“As far as I know, there has been a cultivator selling a young paper puppet evil spirit in the tower these last two days. These evil spirits have probably come for that.”

“Fellow Daoists, if we give the Foundation Establishment cultivator who owns that evil spirit, along with the young paper puppet, to the paper puppet evil spirits outside, will they then leave us alone?”

A bearded old man quietly passed this suggestion to the other two via spiritual communication.

“Li Dao You, no more of this. There are many Daoists in the Tower, including disciples of Great Sects as well as those nearing Golden Core. If we really do such a thing, the reputations we have built over the years as our few major powers and Duobao Tower would be destroyed instantly.”

“Moreover, don’t cling to a glimmer of hope that might not exist. It’s difficult for ordinary people to fathom the thoughts of those evil spirits. Their hard-earned offspring was stolen. It’s highly likely that they would demand the sacrifice of everyone in Duobao Tower to avenge this.”

A middle-aged cultivator with an imposing demeanor spoke.

“The protective formation of the Bao Building can temporarily protect these Foundation Establishment cultivators, but it’s not an ideal solution to just hole up and wait for death while under the invasion of these yin creatures’ yin qi. We must take the initiative to attack and get rid of or drive back these two evil spirits.”

He opened his mouth and spat out a pearl with rotating clear air. It expanded as it rotated, scattering clear qi that purified all infiltrating yin qi.

The moment he stepped outside, a flood dragon phantom emerged from the red sword in his hand. Then, accompanied by a soaring and inspiring dragon chant, the flying sword turned into a massive red flood dragon, wrapped in layers of flames, and charged at a towering paper figure.

The other two followed closely behind. The bearded old man spat out a dark green spear from his dantian, which divided into two, then four. In the blink of an eye, it formed an array of spears. Amid the roaring sound, a countless number of spears shot out like lightning, striking another towering paper figure.

In front of the female cultivator, azure spiritual light surged like a towering wave, from which numerous ice-cold ice spikes shot out, rushing towards the numerous yin creatures outside.

The towering paper figure grinned with an even rosier flush on its cheeks, almost dripping like fresh blood.

Facing the red flood dragon, its arms turned into two grim paper strips, flying and intertwining endlessly, wrapping themselves around the dragon-formed flying sword.

The outermost paper strips were burned to ashes by the red flames around the flood dragon. But the paper strips seemed to be never-ending, stacking layer upon layer, gradually encircling the flood dragon.

The pale paper strips had an extremely strong contaminating capability. The flood dragon phantom began to show gray areas, with an increasing trend. The Crimson Flying Sword inside cried out as if its spiritual nature had suffered considerable damage.

In front of the other giant paper figure, countless spears turned into black lights, penetrating its body like meteors, leaving a dense cluster of holes. Shreds of paper from its body fluttered down and directly turned into sharply crafted paper puppets dancing delicately like butterflies, charging towards the spiritual energy shield.

The countless yin creatures outside the formation also proved difficult to deal with. Each of them was no less powerful than a Foundation Establishment Cultivator and seemed impossible to kill. Even if their bodies shattered into countless pieces, they would transform into vine-like long paper strips or smaller, creepy paper puppets, continuing to infiltrate and contaminate the spiritual energy shield.

“The situation doesn’t look promising. It seems the strength of these two calamity-level evil spirits far outstrips that of ordinary Golden Core Real People. The three Golden Cores in the Duobao Tower are likely no match for them.”

Lu Xuan’s eyes were shrouded in a layer of misty spiritual light. Through the formation and numerous yin creatures, he had a clear view of the entire battlefield.

“These paper puppet yin creatures seem to have an exceedingly strong contaminating capability. The formation of Duobao Tower won’t last much longer. I need to be ready to flee at any moment.”

He had no intention of using his various treasures to steal the limelight; preserving his life was the most important thing.

Just as his thoughts wandered, his brow furrowed as a pale, occasionally visible eye pupil appeared in the space above him.

Under the scrutiny of the Void Nightmare Eye, he saw something abnormal occur among the many cultivators who gradually woke up and gathered inside Duobao Tower.

Certain cultivators screamed in extreme agony, their hands uncontrollably tearing at their own bodies. Bits of flesh were shredded off, raining down.

In the blink of an eye, the cultivator was reduced to a dehydrated skin-bag hanging over his skeletal frame.

The skin-bag slowly turned a grayish color, and droplets of waxy yellow corpse oil began to seep from it.

“Did they mutate?”

Lu Xuan unconsciously took a few steps back, his thoughts racing.

Soon, no fewer than thirty people displayed the same eerie symptom. Moreover, the bodies of many cultivators had involuntarily stiffened, drained of all color. They were just a step away from mutating into skin-bags.

“Was it the laughter of the paper puppet just now?”

Lu Xuan recalled the chilling laughter from the depths of his consciousness, feeling extremely fortunate.

“I’m lucky to have the Clear Dragonfly Feather Robe that can resist attacks on the divine soul. Otherwise, I might have been at risk of mutation as well.”

The many cultivators sheltered in the Duobao Tower, once feeling secure under the formation, now descended into chaos. Most of them were panicked, looking at their fellow cultivators around them with suspicion and caution.

In the top area, the cultivators maintaining the formation also suffered a significant impact. This caused minor stagnation in the spiritual power flow within the spiritual energy shield. The paper figures and yin creatures outside seized the opportunity to launch a frenzied assault on the Protective Array.

“It seems I’ll have to rely on myself.”

Lu Xuan sighed inwardly. The situation was extremely chaotic, and the momentum of the paper puppet evil spirits was unstoppable. Once the formation broke, it would be time for the many cultivators in the Tower to escape.

Just as this thought emerged, cracks appeared on the spiritual energy shield outside the tower under the heavy burden, with a cracking noise. The cracks spread rapidly, and countless paper puppet yin creatures broke into the Duobao Tower.

The enormous Duobao Tower collapsed with a loud crash.
