Cultivation! My Augmented Statuses Have Unlimited Duration - Chapter 288

A black light flashed past. The ferocious sea beast, the tiger eel, suddenly stopped moving. First, a thin line appeared on its back, and then the line grew larger and larger.

The entire sea beast collapsed on the spot, cut in half from head to toe.

The sharpness of the Immortal Slaying Flying Sword was definitely not something that a body of flesh and blood could withstand. A mere tiger eel that had formed a Demon Core was no different from a fish on the chopping board in front of the Immortal Slaying Flying Sword.

Master Le Yuan, who was covered in blood, fell out. He waved his fists on the ground with a blank expression. He had thought that his life was over.

After that, they saw Jiang Li descend from the sky.

“Alliance Leader Jiang!”

“Junior Brother Jiang Li!”

Senior Sister Qi Yu also reacted at this moment, and a pleasantly surprised expression appeared on her face. This Junior Brother Alliance Leader from the neighboring hall had never disappointed anyone.

She did not care about the wound on her body that had been cut open when she forcefully pried open the mouth of the Giant Tooth Shark. She threw a Water attribute buffing spell technique at Jiang Li.

A stream of pure water attribute spiritual qi updated the status “Water Spirit Life Wood (Foundation Establishment)” on Jiang Li’s body to “Water Spirit Life Wood (Core Formation)” before bringing the injured people into the city.

Jiang Li nodded at them, then waved his hand and scattered a handful of rice-sized seeds covered in a layer of salt crystals.

It was a special Sea Wood seed that he had collected on the way here.

Nine Nether! Tree Realm!

Ordinary plants usually could not withstand a high concentrated saline environment. With Jiang Li’s usual plant seeds, the power of his wood attribute spell technique would naturally be greatly reduced.

However, Jiang Li had always liked to plan before making a move. Since he knew this situation, he had naturally made preparations earlier.

In fact, the solution to this problem was very simple. As long as he used the native salt resistance plant, this problem would not exist.

The Great Sea Floating Wood was such a superb substitute.

Under the urging of Jiang Li’s Nine Nether spiritual qi, the Great Sea Floating Wood with developed roots quickly and savagely grew, forming a vast forest.

The strong roots spread out with the island as the center, wrapping around all the sea beasts they encountered.

With Jiang Li’s current strength, ordinary sea beasts did not even have the qualifications to cause trouble in the Nine Nether Tree Realm.

The strong roots also had a layer of white salt crystals on the surface. After wrapping around the sea beast’s body, the salt crystals quickly covered it. In contrast, the bodies of the sea beasts quickly shriveled.

The Great Sea Floating Wood was a typical sea carnivorous plant. Compared to sunlight, it was more enthusiastic about hunting for fresh meat.

The high concentration of salt in the body also caused their strong electrolyte penetration pressure, causing very few creatures to be able to compete for water with this Great Sea Floating Wood.

As long as one came into contact with their roots, their bodily fluids would inevitably flow out, and the speed was quite fast.

This was a carnivorous plant that no one wanted to provoke in the ecosystem of the coastal area.

In order to gather its seeds, Jiang Li had also spent a lot of effort and time.

However, the power of the Nine Nether Tree Realm executed by the Great Sea Floating Wood was even more astonishing. In just a few breaths, it had turned more than a thousand sea beasts into its own food.

The crazily spreading tree sea expanded until it reached the mouth of the sea mud worm before stopping.

A strange creature covered in brown scales, with a body thin like a human, and a face covered in white bone armor, stood in front of the sea of trees.

He did not know what method it used, but no matter how Jiang Li controlled it, the sea of trees could not get close.

Jiang Li, who had already done his homework, naturally knew that it was the greatest enemy of all creatures in the entire Azure Cloud Continent, the Armored Trolls.

A sharp black light flashed through the air again at an indiscernible speed.

In the next moment, an extremely sharp black flying sword appeared in front of the Armored Troll.

However, the Immortal Slaying Flying Sword that had always been successful did not hit its target this time. Instead, it was forced to stop about three feet in front of the other party.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

A large number of cracks suddenly appeared in the air in front of the Immortal Slaying Flying Sword. When the cracks spread to a certain extent, they exploded like glass.

Clearly, an invisible barrier blocked the flying sword’s blade.

The Immortal Slaying Flying Sword could destroy both objects and demons. Although the ability of the Armored Troll was different from human cultivators, since they were both creatures of the continent of the Nine Provinces, they naturally relied on spiritual qi. Jiang Li’s Intrinsic Flying Sword could not be easily blocked.

However, after breaking through an unknown barrier, the pitch-black flying sword only advanced half a finger before being blocked by another barrier.

It was clearly impossible to kill the other party in a short period of time.

The Immortal Slaying Flying Sword that had exposed its tracks was targeted by the enemy immediately.

One had to know that there were a total of 50 Armored Trolls standing in the air and staring covetously.

Another stronger Troll with abnormally large claws stepped forward and raised its right claw at the flying sword.

Jiang Li instinctively felt a threat and decisively recalled the flying sword.

As soon as the Immortal Slaying Flying Sword left, before the afterimage left behind dissipated, five blood-colored claw marks that tore through the sky slapped down.

After passing through the afterimage of the flying sword, it tore apart a large portion of the Great Wood Nine Nether Tree Realm below.

“What a powerful attack!”

Jiang Li could not help but feel a lingering fear in his heart. Fortunately, the flying sword withdrew quickly. Otherwise, after enduring this claw, there would at least be some damage.

He had used his Liquor Fire Sword Song cultivation to refine the Immortal Slaying Flying Sword, so the backlash would be limited even if the flying sword was damaged.

However, this flying sword had cost him a lot of effort. Just like the Dragon Imprisoning Lock and Yin Burial Coffin, it was one of his core artifacts. How could he bear to let it be damaged?

The blood claw from before was extremely sharp and dangerous, but it caused Jiang Li the most trouble. It was the unknown barrier that blocked the Immortal Slaying Flying Sword.

When the strong Armored Troll attacked, it did not seem to care about the defense barrier of its companions. Moreover, it was indeed not affected when it attacked.

That kind of barrier ability seemed to be an extremely brilliant one-way defense. Only the enemy’s attacks were blocked, while they could attack from the inside without any obstruction.

Being able to shield the other party made them more troublesome than a group of individual Armored Trolls.

Most importantly, they still had 48 companions who had not attacked.

In fact, from the positions of these Armored Trolls, these two demons were far from the strongest.

If the remaining Armored Trolls attacked together, he would definitely have no hope of resisting.

How could a creature that could compete with the entire Eastern Region of the Azure Cloud Continent for thousands of years be simple?

Moreover, up until now, these Armored Trolls had forced the cultivation world of the Eastern Region to be at a disadvantage in defense.

It was not excessive to overestimate such an enemy.

Jiang Li had long known that they were very strong, but he never expected that he would encounter such a troublesome situation as soon as they met.

“Fortunately, I’m not alone!”

Behind the 50 Armored Trolls, a flaming boar appeared out of thin air. Its four hooves stepped on the air with burning anger as it collided with them with unstoppable might.

Boom!

A huge mushroom-shaped flaming cloud exploded in the air and rose.

It was the few higher-ups of the Great Mountain Alliance who were with Jiang Li.

Earlier, Jiang Li had gone down by himself for the sake of numbing the enemy and drawing the Armored Trolls’ attention to seize an opportunity for the higher-ups of the Great Mountain Alliance.

Another Soul Formation Guardian of the Scripture Storage Valley, who had rushed over to support them, used the fourth ultimate technique of the Scripture Storage Valley, the “Liquid Mirror” to conceal the figures of the other top-notch cultivators. They hid behind the group of Armored Trolls and launched a brazen attack.

Amidst the flames of the explosion, the 50 Armored Trolls scattered. The flying swords of Shu Mountain, the Vajra of Benevolent Travel City, and the experts of the various sects used their methods to pursue relentlessly.

The first thought of this group of Armored Trolls was to escape through the worm path of the sea mud worm.

However, the Great Mountain Alliance was not foolish and had long made plans for this. A huge luxurious version of the spiritual qi bomb was thrown down and released its power from the inside. The sea mud worm was immediately blown to pieces.

The anger of their compatriots’ death made them erupt with their strongest strength, destroying the Armored Troll’s escape route and leaving this group of culprits behind!

Jiang Li was not to be outdone. He personally went to find the Armored Trolls that had attacked and defended together earlier.

He stepped on the flying sword and moved in the air at an extremely fast speed. Green-black light flickered in his hand, and a nine foot-long Nine Nether Wood Spear grew in his hand.

The Dragon Scale Blood Tattoo on his right arm emitted a blood-red light. Endless power of a hundred beasts poured into the spear in his hand. With an explosion that tore through the air, the wooden spear pierced through the space and ruthlessly stabbed into the barrier.

Crack!

A hole was pierced through the barrier, but it was blocked by the barrier behind.

“Sure enough, it still doesn’t work.”

Jiang Li had expected this. He formed a seal with his hand, and the wooden spear suddenly swelled violently. A huge tree grew out directly, and it waved its roots to envelop the two Armored Trolls.

Countless tree roots covered it densely, but there was always a hollow ball in the middle that could not break through.

However, through the shape of the tree root, he already knew that this invisible barrier was spherical.

Blood-red claw marks appeared again, tearing Jiang Li’s huge tree into pieces.

The two Armored Trolls grew wings on their backs and pounced at Jiang Li.

The huge blood-red claw swung out, and the power was so great that it turned the entire beach upside down.

However, Jiang Li was like a nimble swallow. He relied on the extremely high speed of the Immortal Slaying Flying Sword to ceaselessly dodge and evade at various tricky angles. Under the violent storm of attacks, even the corners of his clothes were intact.

While moving in the air, six stone slabs appeared in Jiang Li’s hand.

In the east, south, west, north, up, and down, Jiang Li set up the six stone slabs with complicated runes around the two Armored Trolls.

Then, another seal was formed. The six rune stone slabs lit up at the same time. Six completely different runes combined in the air to form a simplified version of the Square Heaven Array!

This was the Square Heaven Confinement Array that Jiang Li had obtained when he dissected the contents of the Square Heaven Seal.

It could seal an area in a short period of time.

The two Armored Trolls felt the huge binding force that appeared around them and immediately struggled violently.

The six stone slabs were of ordinary material and could not withstand too much power. Dense cracks continuously grew. In just a few breaths, they would shatter.

In a few breaths of time, it was extremely difficult to break through that strange barrier and cause damage to the other party.

However, Jiang Li still had his own way.

Swoosh!

The pitch-black flying sword pulled the ancient Dragon Imprisoning Lock and danced in the air at high speed.

A vast amount of spiritual qi was injected into it. The Dragon Imprisoning Lock did not grow endlessly. Under the pull of the Immortal Slaying Flying Sword, it quickly interwove to form a black chain ball.

He trapped the two Trolls in the middle.

The chain ball formed by the Dragon Imprisoning Lock made an ugly and strange sound when it came into contact with the unknown barrier.

At this moment, the six rune stone slabs completely shattered into powder that scattered with the wind.

The two Armored Trolls also recovered their mobility.

The burly Troll waved its abnormally exaggerated claws again, and the penetrating barrier struck the Dragon Imprisoning Lock.

However, the Dragon Imprisoning Lock, which was originally an ancient supreme artifact that was indestructible, did not even have the slightest scratch.

On the contrary, due to the special binding technique of the chain ball, after receiving these two attacks, it tightened its grip, directly causing a large number of cracks to appear on the invisible barrier.

Ancient people once said that cultivation originated from life, and it was indeed true.

The special binding technique that Jiang Li was using now came from the Red Lantern District of Phoenix Sun City.

When he visited the demonesses living there, he learned a profound set of the thirty-six rope binding techniques from them.

What the Dragon Imprisoning Lock was about to form was one of the Nine Palace Eight Trigrams Tortoise Shell knots. If one did not use the proper method, the more they struggled and exerted strength, the tighter it would be bound.

The burly Armored Troll did not believe it. It waved its claws repeatedly, and the power that was enough to tear mountains and rivers acted on the Dragon Imprisoning Lock.

However, as long as the Dragon Imprisoning Lock did not break, the force exerted would be returned to it!

Crack! Crack! Crack! Bang!

The barrier that formed the ball finally could not withstand the squeezing of the chains. After the crack reached a certain extent, it shattered.

However, one layer, two layers, three layers… More than ten layers of barriers were destroyed by the Dragon Imprisoning Lock.

The Armored Troll’s posture became more and more dispirited. Two streaks of blood tears were left in its two vertical eyes. After the barrier was forcefully broken through more than ten times, it had to pay the price.

The barrier formed again, blocking the constantly tightening Dragon Imprisoning Lock. The Sharp Claw Armored Troll finally recognized reality and did not continue to attack brainlessly.

Then, it did something that surprised Jiang Li.

The sharp-clawed Armored Troll waved its claws and cut off a large piece of flesh on its thigh. Jiang Li estimated that it was at least 20 kilograms.

It handed the piece of flesh to its companion. After the Barrier Armored Troll received it, it did not hesitate to stuff it into its mouth and began to chew and swallow.

Then, a magical scene happened. After the Barrier Armored Troll ate a simple meal, it no longer looked dispirited. After wiping the blood tears from its eyes, it stood up as if nothing had happened.

As for the Sharp Claw Armored Troll, the wound on its thigh recovered at a visible speed.

Just based on the speed at which it grew flesh, it was even not much inferior to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li looked at this group of monsters that came from nowhere solemnly.

Was this healing ability possessed by an individual or a racial talent?

If it was the latter, then it would be… too terrifying.
