I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, So I’ll Max Out My Defense

Chapter 989: Chapter 990: Breaking Through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm
 

“Pet?”

“You call this a pet?”

Everyone was stupefied, and before they could react, an abrupt darkness filled the great hall, and a behemoth that blocked out the sun and sky stood outside, howling up to the heavens.

“This is my adorable pet, no need to be afraid.”

Li Xiaobai spoke.

“Crack!”

The roof of the great hall was directly lifted away by a pair of massive claws, revealing a terrifyingly huge head that breathed out searing breath, its eyes a blood-red full of deadly intent.

People inside the great hall paled with shock, the more faint-hearted shattered with fear. At this moment, the little calculations secretly agreed upon by various powers disintegrated, and they couldn’t muster an ounce of courage to confront it.

This was the Earth Immortal Realm’s leading Godzilla, kneeling on one knee, extending a huge iron beast claw, within which laid a Five-colored Altar, from Southern Ming.

Li Xiaobai’s eyes narrowed slightly, and with a casual flick, he collected the Five-colored Altar into his bag, noting the numerous crisscrossing crevices on Godzilla’s body—these were wounds, clearly, the fearsome beast had endured a fierce battle.

He pulled up the Attribute Points panel and glanced over it, his pupils uncontrollably contracting.

[Attribute Points: One hundred million!]

Damage to Godzilla automatically converted into the System’s Attribute Points, and presently, of the ten Godzillas, only this one from the Earth Immortal Realm had returned. The other nine had likely met with misfortune. Less than two hours had passed, and somehow, someone had managed to inflict one hundred million points of damage. Could there still be masters hidden on the Immortal Spirit Continent?

Li Xiaobai did not advertise this, as fully reclaiming Central Province was currently his priority.

“You’ve done very well, you may retreat to the side for now.”

“Roar!”

Godzilla roared, squatting outside the hall doors, generating a strong wind pressure that sent chills through the hearts of all present. With such a terrifying behemoth standing guard at the door, who would dare disobey?

“Some minor incidents have occurred, so whatever you wanted to say before, you may continue now?”

Li Xiaobai looked at the plump young man, saying cheerfully.

“N-nothing, my Thousand Demon Sect is willing to submit and henceforth follow Young Master Li’s commands!”

“We are the same, henceforth we shall exert our full strength to aid the Three Sects in rebuilding Central Province, and to construct a safe haven for all beings!”

“Yes, indeed, Young Master Li is a prodigious talent known to soar atop the winds and transform into a dragon, a blessing for our Immortal Spirit Continent!”

The cultivators quickly changed their tune, whether they were local cultivators or talented young people from the Central Origin Realm, they now completely abandoned their previous little schemes. Before coming here, they had briefly discussed how to maximize their benefits, ideally by leveraging their backing powers to intimidate, but at this moment they had no mood for such things.

Given the current situation, it was uncertain whether they’d even keep their lives, let alone negotiate terms.

“Now, the Immortal Spirit Continent is full of ravages, and all aspects need resource support. Do you have any thoughts?”

Li Xiaobai continued.

“I have some savings on me, and I can provide one million top-grade Immortal Stones for support!”

“My Thousand Demon Sect has a large family business, and if Young Master is willing to open spatial portals for us to contact our respective sects, rejuvenating the Immortal Spirit Continent is only a matter of time.”

“Yes, indeed, if Young Master could open the spatial portals, I assure you that our family’s sect will form a partnership with the Immortal Spirit Continent!”

The young men and women offered their comments one after another.

Li Xiaobai shook his head; these people still couldn’t see the situation clearly: “You have two choices, hand over all your treasures, or wait for me to blow you up and take the resources from your corpses.”

…

A few minutes later.

The local cultivators of the Immortal Spirit Continent left the great hall with mixed emotions.

Inside the great hall, Li Xiaobai corked the Jade Gourd and put it back into his pouch.

“Didn’t expect there were a few core disciples from the sects, can sell them for a good price later.”

Among the disciples from the Central Origin Realm led by the rotund cultivator from the Thousand Demon Sect, several were the sons of elders from various Great Sects, and this plump cultivator was even the little grandson of the Sect Master of the Thousand Demon Sect. Although his cultivation level wasn’t impressive, his background was undoubtedly formidable.

Such talent was a waste not to be sold off; next time I’m in the Central Origin Realm, I must find an opportunity to squeeze a hefty sum from him!

“Why have only you returned, what about the other nine?”

After a quick clean-up, Li Xiaobai looked towards Godzilla, who was standing guard outside the hall, and asked.

“Roar!”

Godzilla conveyed a thought, and upon serious analysis, Li Xiaobai’s eyebrows shot up in surprise.

The thought from Godzilla formed an image in his mind.

It was Southern Ming, a desolate land shrouded in darkness, the Kingdom of Women centered around the main city with villages scattered around. Ninety percent were women, the remaining ten percent were not native inhabitants.

The images conveyed by Godzilla consisted of just two scenes.

In the first scene, a colossal golden hammer fell from the sky with overwhelming Divine Might, sending ten Godzillas, including those in the Earth Immortal Realm, flying.

In the second image, a female War God in a red robe opened a spatial gateway, while the Kingdom of Women’s King, Ling Xue’er, carried the entire nation into the mark between her eyebrows and followed the red-robed War God into the Central Origin Realm.

Now Southern Ming was completely deserted. Not to mention the highly representative Cold Moon Palace, even the surrounding villages had disappeared. Aside from the jungle and miasma, Southern Ming was devoid of any human trace.

The altar was buried in the center of Southern Ming. The Earth Immortal Realm Godzilla didn’t choose to clash head-on with the red-garbed female cultivator but instead hid to the side and only after she disappeared did it emerge to excavate the altar.

“Southern Ming has actually been moved!”

“It was our Eldest Senior Sister! Eldest Senior Sister has brought the Kingdom of Women back to the Central Origin Realm!”

Li Xiaobai was astonished; the woman in the red dress holding a golden hammer could be none other than Su Yunbing. If she could send ten Godzillas flying with a single hammer strike, it seemed that Senior Sister had already stepped into the cultivation level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

That meant that the other nine Godzillas were probably also blasted to death by her. Apart from Sixth Senior Brother, the other Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters had probably never seen Godzilla and must have mistaken it for an enemy.

The spatial channel connected to Southern Ming must link to the sect where Su Yunbing resided. Once they received the news, they crossed realms to relocate the entire nation.

“Since Eldest Senior Sister made the move, there’s no problem.”

He pulled up the Attribute Point panel; adding another billion Attribute Points should be about enough for an advancement to the Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivation level. Surprisingly, the final step still relied on help from his own people.

[Host: Li Xiaobai.]

[…]

[Defensive Power: Earth Immortal Realm (1 billion/1 billion) (Earth Dragon Grass: Obtained.) Can advance!]

[…]

“Advance!”

A heart-thumpingly terrifying aura flashed by momentarily, and numeric values danced on the System panel.

[Defensive Power: Heavenly Immortal Realm (zero/10 billion) (Ten Thousand Years Cold Immortal Strain Plant: Not obtained) (Blood Sun Heavenly Egg: Not obtained) Can advance.]

Defensive Power, having broken through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, required a staggering ten billion Attribute Points, also necessitating the acquisition of two rare treasures to advance further, scaling up the difficulty by no mere single grade.

“Master, have you broken through?” Fu Tiantian asked with wide eyes.

“Good disciple, wait here within the Three Sects for your Master, I’m heading to the Eastern Sea.”

Li Xiaobai left a command, as a golden war chariot materialized beneath his feet, transforming into a streak of light that vanished instantly within the great hall.
