WTF, The Centuries-Old Ancestor In Our Family Take Concubine Again!

Chapter 247

“Sun Dong is deceased!” Several miles away, as they witnessed the demise of Sun Dong’s spiritual essence at the hands of Li Su, leaving nothing behind, Elder Jing, who managed to escape more swiftly, underwent a sudden change in his expression. Despite his greater strength and a deeper bag of tricks, he had exhausted many of his hidden tactics while deflecting the Elemental Magnetic Barrier counterattack with the help of a Dao talisman.

Finally, he managed to evade the same fate as Sun Dong’s physical disintegration, but his spiritual essence endured significant damage, not to mention the numerous injuries he sustained.

I never expected him to utilise the Elemental Magnetic Barrier in such a way! Without even taking a moment to wipe the blood from his mouth’s corner, he fled desperately into the distance. Their losses this time were substantial.

The fact that a Nascent Divinity like Sun Dong had perished was astonishing. The highly valuable Dao talisman provided by that woman was consumed, and he had also depleted a significant portion of his concealed resources. He couldn’t have imagined that Li Su’s mastery of formations had reached a level where he could integrate the Elemental Magnetic Barrier into the Flying Immortal Sect’s Mountain-protecting Great Formation, leaving them outmaneuvered.

Moreover, Li Su’s rapid growth and increasing power were terrifying and impressive. Otherwise, even with his physical body shattered, Sun Dong might have escaped with his spiritual essence. Fortunately, though severely wounded, he was still alive. However, at that moment, in the distance, Li Su had transformed into a streak of blinding speed and was rapidly closing in. His speed surpassed even that of Sun Dong, a Nascent Divinity expert. What sort of secret technique is this? In a panic, Elder Jing made a tough decision. Despite being at the Third Layer of the Nascent Divinity expert, he was severely injured, and with Li Su closing in rapidly, his fate was uncertain. Seeing Li Su rapidly approaching, Elder Jing gritted his teeth and resolutely abandoned his physical body. His primordial spirit soared into the sky just as Li Su approached, launching his attack. Elder Jing’s spiritual essence instantly shot away in the distance in his dire circumstances.

The speed of a spiritual essence was incomparable to that of the physical body, therefore Nascent Divinity experts could control a battlefield spanning thousands of miles. It was astounding that this Third Layer Nascent Divinity expert was compelled by Li Su to forsake his physical body. The physical body held paramount importance for cultivators. Without a physical body, the spiritual essence had nowhere to reside, and the spiritual essence of a Refinement Void stage cultivator would continually weaken without the protection of a physical body.

Even if they were to inhabit another body, many problems would arise, and the more powerful the spiritual essence, the more significant these issues would be. Indeed, the physical body was crucial for cultivators, and therefore some individuals with mediocre innate talent but strong growth potential didn’t simply abandon their ordinary physical bodies and took over the bodies of cultivators with exceptional innate talent.

One’s own body typically remained the best option, and the act of possession was generally favoured by those following a darker path, such as demonic cultivation. For cultivators, possession was usually a last resort.

“Boom!”

Li Su brutally shattered Elder Jing’s physical body. “He’s quite elusive. If I had one more breath, I could have caught him,” said the Xuantian Sect’s sect leader, whose voice resounded beside Li Su.

Li Su looked over and saw the spiritual essence of the Xuantian Sect’s sect leader appearing by his side. Shortly after, the spiritual essence of the Dieyun Peak Master returned from a distance, handing a storage pouch to Li Su. It appeared she had also joined in the pursuit of Elder Jing. The speed of a spiritual essence was much swifter than the physical body.

“He managed to escape, but I inflicted severe injuries. Even if he possesses another body, he won’t reach Nascent Divinity,” said the Dieyun Peak Master. She hadn’t planned to interfere initially, seeing Li Su gain the upper hand. Still, after witnessing Li Su’s astounding power and his use of the Elemental Magnetic Barrier to eliminate Sun Dong, she decided to intervene. Her involvement at this moment was the final touch, but killing Nascent Divinity cultivators was often a formidable challenge, and Elder Jing was exceedingly cautious.

Realizing the unfavorable situation, he didn’t confront Li Su head-on but chose to abandon his physical body and flee.

Even Peak Master Dieyun, initially too far away, couldn’t catch up despite chasing for thousands of miles. The primary reason was that her physical body lagged, and her spiritual essence couldn’t venture too far, as it would pose a significant risk. Nonetheless, she did manage to severely injure Elder Jing and obtain the storage pouch he discarded in his attempt to escape for his life.

“Thank you, senior, for your assistance,” Li Su expressed his gratitude.

“Haha, Li Su, you nearly startled me as well. Let me return my spiritual essence to its place, and then we can have a more detailed conversation,” the Tianluo Sect’s sect leader’s spiritual essence responded.

The spiritual essence of the three individuals departed shortly after, concluding this battle.

Li Su looked towards the Canglan Mountains, where the Elemental Magnetic Barrier had not yet subsided. The Elemental Magnetic Barrier’s power was terrifying, and its counterattack was formidable. If Elder Jing didn’t have that Dao talisman, the counterattack of the Elemental Magnetic Barrier would have killed both him and Sun Dong.

Of course, it was unrealistic to expect that others didn’t have hidden resources. After all, the Elemental Magnetic Barrier was an inanimate object with limitations. Unlike cultivators, even if these two Nascent Divinity experts barely reached Nascent Divinity, they still had exceptional qualities.
