"What a talent."
Li Wei raised his eyebrows.
At this moment, inside the Void Refining Space, Li Yaotie had lost the patience to exchange further words with Tang Miao and had already swung his hammer.
The giant hammer, which was Li Yaotie's constant panion in forging, was heavier than a mountain range.
Tang Miao summoned stars to defend himself, yet they were easily shattered by Li Yaotie's strike.
The two-against-one great battle erupted.
Zhuo Linlin had evidently gathered intelligence on Tang Miao long ago.
This man's Void Refining techniques were extraordinary; he summoned stars within this space, wielding immense power.
These stars were pressed yet possessed crushing weight; a direct hit would be a devastating blow to an ordinary Void Refining cultivator.
He was particularly skilled in formations, and the twelve stars granted Tang Miao Spiritual power.
However, Li Yaotie possessed the Unorthodox Artifact Body and had deeply mastered the true inheritance of the Heavenly Light Sect, giving him a supreme understanding of formations.
Moreover, every artifact refiner was, without exception, a person of immense physical strength.
The giant hammer was a Dharma Treasure Li Yaotie had carried for years, moving in his hands as an extension of his own body.
The Heavenly Fire Divine Tree further empowered him, merging with his own True Fire.
In this clash, Li Yaotie charged relentlessly, all while searching for the formation's foundation.
Zhuo Linlin was even more extraordinary; he was likely approaching the level of casting a top-tier Void Refining Space.
His Darkness Spiritual power carried Laws such as "Corrosion," "Assimilation," and "Nullification."
When his Spiritual power touched Tang Miao's stars, they actually wrapped around them, gradually dyeing the stars pitch-black and draining them of their Spiritual power.
And the family's fourth Void Refining cultivator... Li Yaotie!
[Your descendant, Li Yaotie, has refined the "Void-Soul Exchanging Dao Technique," creating a new Void Refining Space and being a "Pseudo-Void Refining" cultivator!]
[Through years of artifact refining and crafting Dharma Treasures, his Void Refining technique "Primal True Fire" has evolved into "Dual Primal True Fire." The power of his True Fire has increased by 30%.]
[Your descendant, Li Yaotie's "Unorthodox Artifact Body" has evolved into a High-Grade Dharma Treasure!
The higher the rank of his Unorthodox Paths, the stronger the Unorthodox Artifact Body bees.
Recovery rate increased, Spiritual power increased, and the number of usable Dharma Treasures increased!]
"You think you can escape?!!"
Tang Miao realized the situation was dire.
With Li Yaotie and Zhuo Linlin joining forces, his formations were easily seen through, and his stars were rendered useless.
All his intelligence and techniques were perfectly countered by these two, who had e fully prepared.
Just as he was about to flee, Tang Miao's eyes widened in sheer horror!
Following a sharp shout from Li Yaotie, Tang Miao looked terrified.
"Impossible... how can there be so many Dharma Treasures?!!"
Behind Li Yaotie stood the Heavenly Fire Divine Tree.
Illuminated by the blaze, he spread his arms wide, wielding True Fire in each hand like a God of Fire.
Behind him, beams of golden light radiated outward as the Li Clan's "Myriad Dao Pagoda" tolled, surging forward to suppress Tang Miao.
The bell of this Peak Dharma Treasure rang out nine times.
The Heavenly Fire Divine Tree was at the Fourth Grade—a true Void Refining treasure.
In the past, Li Yaotie could not unleash its full power, but now, the heavenly fire roared like dragons, burning everything in its path!
In addition, there were numerous other Dharma Treasures, all radiating power!
"Impressive!"
Li Wei, who had been observing from the sidelines the entire time, had a trace of shock flash across his face.
"This kid's 'Pseudo-Void Refining' state is actually this powerful?!!"
The materials for the newly refined "Void-Soul Exchanging Dao Technique" had been unanimously yielded to Li Yaotie by the clan members.
The consensus among the clan was that once Yaotie broke through to the Void Refining stage, he could increase his artifact refining speed and hopefully break through to bee a Fourth Grade Artifact Refiner.
At that point, he would be able to refine High-Grade and Peak Dharma Treasures.
However, now that Li Yaotie was actually engaging someone in battle, Li Wei finally truly sensed the sheer power of this Artifact Refiner.
His body had bee a High-Grade Dharma Treasure, which meant that ordinary Void Refining cultivators would be unable to even breach Li Yaotie's defenses!
Likewise, when Li Yaotie was at the Peak of the Divinity Transformation stage, although he could wield numerous Dharma Treasures, he could at most fully unleash the power of Low-Grade Dharma Treasures and Fifth Grade Spirit Objects.
But now... he was capable of utilizing Fourth Grade Spirit Objects and unleashing the full might of High-Grade Dharma Treasures.
For Li Yaotie, breaking through to the Void Refining stage represented a qualitative transformation.
Even if his manipulation of the Power of Laws was mediocre, relying on his "Unorthodox Artifact Body," Li Yaotie could still stand as one of the elite among those in the same realm!
Watching "Old Tie" of the family suppressing Tang Miao within the Void Refining Space, Li Wei felt utterly gratified.
One day later.
Inside the Void Refining Space.
On Li Yaotie's forging table, a pale-faced Tang Miao lay wrapped in chains.
He stared in terror at Li Yaotie, who was nearby, toying with his confiscated Dharma Treasure.
"You cannot kill me! I am a Void Refining cultivator! I am a cultivator protected by the Imperial Dynasty!
The Dynasty cannot afford to lose me, nor can it do without our Forgotten Immortal Lands or our Cloudreach Mountain!"
"Let me go back! I am loyal to the Dynasty! I am a General of the Eastern Border; I will send troops to the Eastern Border. I have men, I have Spirit Stones!"
"The Imperial Dynasty has rules! We are cultivators of the Dynasty. If you kill me, the Immortal Suppression Department will not let you off..."
Li Yaotie's attention was finally drawn to him.
He walked slowly to Tang Miao's side, a mocking expression on his face.
"Do you think the current Imperial Dynasty is still the same one ruled by Crown Prince Sheng?"
"W... What?" Tang Miao's gaze turned blank.
Li Yaotie sneered.
"You really are rushing to your death. The world assumes the Human Sovereign's life hangs by a thread.
Back when the Human Sovereign was powerless to manage the affairs of the Imperial Dynasty, Crown Prince Sheng's administration fueled your arrogance.
Every single one of you thought the Imperial Dynasty was on the verge of collapse.
You thought the Dynasty could be bullied, the Crown Prince could be bullied, and Dongfang Liancheng could be bullied.
Little did you know, the time for your reckoning has arrived!"
"You cannot escape, and neither can your Cloudreach Mountain!
The Human Sovereign may not be here to suppress you, but there are plenty of others within the Dynasty who can crush you!"
"Tang, the times have changed."
