Cultivation Starts with Rejuvenation

However, in the beginning stage of transformation, its power would greatly surge.

At this moment, he was afflicted with corpse poison, his magical power stagnated, his strength less than thirty percent of his prime, absolutely unable to resist the opponent.

The four immediately fled away.

"Roar~ still trying to escape?" Du Haizang struggled, seeing the four of them fleeing, his consciousness started to become blurred, instinct taking over.

In the next moment, his instinct drove him to chase after the four ahead.

"No! Its speed is too fast, I am hindered by corpse poison and cannot unleash rapid speed, I can't escape!" Sensing the pursuit from behind, Qin Henian's face was filled with despair.

"Xiaoli, help me take Xiaochuan back to the Hui Race!" Having said that, he tossed the Storage Pouch to Qin Chuan, and then magical power surged on his body, suddenly pushing the three towards the south.

"Its target is me, you go, don't look back!" Qin Henian finally chose to divert it, simultaneously flying northward.

"Ancestor!" Qin Chuan cried out in sorrow.

Watching as Qin Henian decisively flew in the opposite direction, instantly pulling a hundred-zhang distance, Li Ji'an felt a flutter in his heart, he still had a Tier Three Heavenly Thunder Talisman, which likely could restrain the Corpse Puppet.

In an instant, his hand already touched the Tier Three Heavenly Thunder Talisman.

This trip to Celestial River Immortal City, starting from when he suddenly sensed the Golden Radiance Mark in his Sea of Consciousness during the festival, seeing that the opponent was merely two Late Period Foundation Establishment cultivators, he only wanted to leverage Qin Henian's Fake Pill might to deter them from attacking.

Subsequently, by a stroke of fortune, the opponent misunderstood the target to be Qin Henian, which inadvertently took the blame for him, but it was not his intention.

It wasn't until the opponent really dared to intercept Qin Henian halfway, that he realized the other did truly have the confidence to threaten a Fake Pill True Man.

Just now, he saw Qin Henian had already taken out a Talisman Treasure, he then unhesitatingly activated a late Second Tier Talisman which was somewhat beneath his status.

And now, Qin Henian not only exhausted the family's ultimate ace, but was already in despair.

Yet, before he could take action, Yan Qingwan exclaimed in surprise, "Not good, it's chasing after us!"

Upon seeing the four ahead fleeing north and south, the Corpse Puppet initially chased after Qin Henian briefly, but soon showed indecision, eventually pursuing towards the trio.

Its speed was extremely fast, instantly arriving near.

"Boom~" In panic, Yan Qingwan unleashed a cloud of fire.

However, the Corpse Puppet completely ignored her fire cloud, directly passing through it, and spewing a mouthful of black gas.

"Bang!" The black gas shot forward, piercing through Yan Qingwan's Body-Protecting Dharma Shield upon contact.

Li Ji'an hurriedly threw out the superior Magical Artifact Bronze Shield, narrowly blocking the black gas at the last moment.

"Roar~" The Corpse Puppet then disregarded Yan Qingwan and Qin Chuan, directly charging towards Li Ji'an.

"Snap!" Li Ji'an's Body-Protecting Dharma Shield in front of it was as fragile as tofu.

Fortunately, Li Ji'an had two superior Magical Artifact shields.

"Clang!" The Corpse Puppet swiped a claw, tearing Li Ji'an's Body-Protecting Dharma Shield and scraping out a series of dazzling sparks on the Cyan Rock Shield.

Li Ji'an unleashed several Fire Dragons in an attempt to force it back.

But the Fire Element Magical Power cultivated from the Yan Family's Flame Dragon Technique was insufficient in power and almost ineffective against it.

"Roar~" With a swing of its claw dispersing the Fire Dragons, the Corpse Puppet left a lingering shadow at its original spot.

In the next moment, it appeared behind Li Ji'an.

"Fan'Er, watch out!" Yan Qingwan, just arriving to join forces, saw the Corpse Puppet reaching for Li Ji'an's back.

Almost instinctively, she threw herself to intercept with her Body-Protecting Dharma Shield.

"Rip!" However, her Body-Protecting Dharma Shield shattered again, meanwhile the Corpse Puppet's black-tinged claws drew out a string of bright red blood beads at her waist.

"Aunt!" Li Ji'an's expression changed instantly, catching the forcefully flipped Yan Qingwan.

At this moment, he had a realization, the Corpse Puppet likely sensed the Golden Radiance Mark in his Sea of Consciousness.

Because now the Golden Radiance Mark in his Sea of Consciousness had reemerged.

"Qin Chuan, I'll lure it away, you go!" Without further hesitation, he forcefully pushed Yan Qingwan, turning and fleeing eastward.

Sure enough, the Corpse Puppet hesitated not at all this time, immediately pursuing.

Li Ji'an pushed his Dantian Magical Power to the limit, but after flying less than a hundred zhang, he was caught up by the Corpse Puppet.

"Bang!" The superior Magical Artifact Giant Axe, secretly charging power, suddenly slashed.

This Giant Axe Artifact from Blood-handed Butcher not only had bloodthirsty effects, but was also powerful and heavy.

Yet having transformed into a Corpse Puppet, Du Haizang did not dodge, taking a strike head-on with his skull.

And this strike only slowed its speed for three breaths.

With the difference of these three breaths, Li Ji'an fled another hundred zhang.

As it closed in again, Li Ji'an hesitated no more, activating a late Second Tier Divine Speed Talisman, his speed suddenly multiplied several times, transforming into an ice and fire two-color Escape Light.

The Corpse Puppet showed a brief hesitation, seemingly bewildered by Li Ji'an's sudden speed change.

Then, a faintly gold-glimmering Escape Light chased after the ice and fire two-color Escape Light, swiftly pursuing over thousands of miles.

Upon reaching a deserted lake area, Li Ji'an finally slowed down.

Three breaths later, the Corpse Puppet caught up again.

"Crack!" Without hesitation, Li Ji'an immediately activated the Tier Three Heavenly Thunder Talisman in his hand.

Boom~

A sudden clap of thunder, the Corpse Puppet was instantly halted.

Soon followed by the roaring downpouring of a thunderous lightning chain from the heavens above.

"Ah..." The Corpse Puppet was momentarily rigid.

The pale golden corpse body that could endure the full-powered strike of the superior Giant Axe immediately shattered piece by piece, with a black smoke emanating internally from its mouth.

Also at this instant, its previously rigid corpse-like face started slowly shedding the corpse shell, reverting to a pale human hue.

Its pupils, from their previous dullness, regained the emotional color of a human.

"You... so it was you who destroyed the Liu Family Ancestor."

"A Tier Three Heavenly Thunder Talisman... how is it possible?"

"You…"
