Cultivating Immortality: Beginning with Blessings from the Immortals

However, before she could even get close, bursts of dark green poisonous gas erupted out instantly.

The array barrier formed instantly, surrounding Lianzhu and all the other sea yakshas within it.

With the help of his black cloak and the poisonous clouds, Chen Yi once again vanished like a ghost from before the group of sea monsters.

Lianzhu looked surprised, and waves of demonic energy formed a shield around her.

The other sea yakshas also activated their demonic energy to protect themselves, but the poisonous gas within the Poison Cloud Spirit Transformation Array was unusually concentrated and began to corrode their shields.

Lianzhu was startled and immediately swung her scepter to attack the array barrier.

With her strength, this array barrier couldn't hold her for long.

At that very moment, the poisonous cloud suddenly surged and churned.

Chen Yi appeared ghost-like behind the two sea monsters, his hands already aimed at them.

The next moment, nine flying needles shot out from his sleeves.

"Nine Needles of Cold Shadow, Entangling Silk"

The nine flying needles instantly created ripples, striking their vital points in an instant.

The two sea monsters noticed, but it was too late to react, so they could only try their best to dodge to the side.

Nine icy needles pierced their chests and abdomens, spraying out large amounts of light blue demon blood.

Chen Yi retreated immediately after his successful attack, without rashly pursuing. He manipulated the formation to envelop himself in poisonous smoke and disappeared from the spot once more.

"Gather together and don't attack rashly," Lianzhu shouted sharply upon seeing this.

She instantly realized that Chen Yi probably intended to use the formation to defeat them one by one. Her main task was to break through the formation's barrier, and then use swift and decisive methods to kill Chen Yi.

Upon hearing this, the remaining sea monsters immediately gathered back to back, constantly looking around to prevent Chen Yi from attacking.

Seeing this, Lianzhu waved her scepter repeatedly, and cracks instantly appeared in the array barrier.

Just as the Poison Cloud Spirit Transformation Array was about to be broken by the enemy, the Sword Rain Talisman in Chen Yi's hand emitted a golden glow.

From the moment he began casting the Poison Cloud Spirit Transformation Array, he had been accumulating energy for the Sword Rain Talisman, waiting for the right opportunity to strike and severely injure his opponent.

Chen Yi first took out more than twenty talismans from his storage bag and activated them all at once.

Huge ice blades, crackling with lightning, instantly materialized and attacked the huddled sea demons.

The group of sea monsters immediately took action, brandishing their weapons to defend against Chen Yi's attacks.

At that very moment, a dazzling golden light flashed out from the poisonous cloud.

The Sword Rain Talisman floated in front of Chen Yi, continuously unleashing streams of golden sword energy. Under Chen Yi's control, it rushed straight towards Lian Zhu.

Lian Zhu, who was breaking the formation, changed her expression drastically, and her pupils trembled.

She didn't have time to break the formation; she immediately dodged backward while waving her scepter to block the sword energy attack.

Chen Yi used all his power to control the Sword Rain Talisman, causing the golden sword energy to continuously besiege Lian Zhu.

Lian Zhu never expected that a Qi Refining stage cultivator could unleash an attack that only a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator could unleash.

The scepter in her hand burst forth with dazzling light, and a deep blue circular shield enveloped her.

Golden sword energies continuously bombarded the shield, instantly creating ripples.

Lianzhu's eyes scanned her surroundings, and she spotted Chen Yi below, who was manipulating the Sword Rain Talisman.

"Damn it, I've finally found you."

Lianzhu roared, and her demonic aura intensified once more, even causing her scales to burst with dazzling light.

Her demonic aura solidified continuously, eventually transforming into a strangely shaped spirit fish along with herself.

Lianzhu flashed forward, heading straight for Chen Yi to meet the golden sword energy.

Chen Yi's expression turned icy, and he immediately dodged backward. Streams of golden sword energy, like shooting stars, relentlessly attacked Lian Zhu.

The spirit fish that Lianzhui transformed into gradually became broken, but its speed did not decrease as it headed straight for Chen Yi.

The two pursued and fled, and the distance between them continued to close.

Chen Yi manipulated the Poison Cloud Spirit Transformation Array, and a gap instantly appeared in the array's barrier, allowing him to burst out of it.

Lianzhu's body slammed hard into the array barrier, and the already precarious barrier shattered instantly.

Chen Yi formed a hand seal, and the golden sword energy that was originally attacking Lian Zhu leisurely changed direction, heading straight for the sea yaksha tribesmen behind her.

Lianzhu wanted to press her advantage, but when she saw the golden sword energy change direction, she had no choice but to dodge and save her clansmen.

With their strength, they were no match for the golden rain of swords.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yi narrowed his eyes and instead of taking the opportunity to escape, he scrambled up the giant tree beside him.

"Quickly hide behind me and gather your demonic energy to form a shield," Lianzhu immediately said.

The remaining Sea Yaksha clan members reacted quickly, immediately hiding behind Lianzhu and using their demonic energy to create shields for each other.

Lianzhu continuously waved her scepter, conjuring water blades to shatter the golden sword energy.

At that moment, two inconspicuous purple crystals rushed towards them along with the golden sword energy.

Standing atop the giant tree, Chen Yi pointed with one hand and shouted sharply, "Explode!"

The next moment, the two purple crystals suddenly exploded.

"Click, click"

Two crisp clap of thunder suddenly rang out, followed by bursts of purple lightning.

The purple lightning bolts, resembling streaks of lightning, continued to spread outwards.

Lianzhu and the others, who were originally resisting the golden sword energy, were instantly enveloped by purple lightning.

Chen Yi pointed with both hands, and all the golden sword energy instantly rushed into the lightning.

In an instant, countless dust, dirt, and tree fragments flew up, and a violent shockwave spread out in all directions.

Chen Yi dodged backward, but his eyes remained fixed on the epicenter of the explosion.

After an unknown amount of time, the smoke and dust dissipated.

A deep pit appeared in the area where Lianzhu and the others were, and the ground was covered with charred marks from lightning. Several sea monsters lay on the ground, their bodies charred black, their fate unknown.

The scepter in Lianzhu's hand shattered into countless fragments, and some of the scales on her body turned charred black.

She single-handedly blocked most of the attacks from the explosion of the two lightning orbs. Even so, most of the sea yakshas were killed by the lightning, and the remaining sea yakshas were barely clinging to life.

Lianzhu looked around, a hint of fear appearing on her face.

She never expected that a Qi Refining stage cultivator would be so troublesome, able to force them to such a point.

Lianzhu looked around but did not find any trace of Chen Yi.

At that moment, a figure appeared like a ghost behind several sea monsters. Wisps of lightning crackled around them, and they were completely unaware of the strange occurrence behind them.

Just as Lianzhu was about to check on the condition of her people, several sea yakshas suddenly shot out from behind her with cold light, heading straight for her vital points.

"Nine Needles of Cold Shadow, Shattered Shadow"

The nine flying needles instantly created afterimages, knocking down the remaining sea monsters before heading straight for Lianzhu.

Seeing this, Lianzhu didn't hesitate and dodged to the side.

However, just a few meters away, an ancient bronze bell leisurely flew to her side.

A crisp "clang" rang out.

The ancient bronze bell emitted a clear and ancient chime, which visibly spread out in ripples.

Lianzhu, who was trying to escape, was affected by the ripples and instantly felt dizzy.

Before she could react, countless flying needles pierced through her limbs and chest and abdomen.

Lianzhu let out several screams and staggered to the ground.

Chen Yi appeared in front of her in a flash, with three streaks of light flying swords pressed against her neck.

"Do not move!"
