After countless corpses surged out of the Heaven-Piercing Coffin, Li Dalong hoisted the silver coffin onto his shoulder and chased after a Su family elder at the peak of the False Core stage, smashing the coffin down with a simple and direct approach.
Although Xu Cuihua only possessed the power of a mid-stage spirit beast, she seemed to have recently acquired some kind of inheritance.
Fox phantoms emerged from her body as she battled another False Core cultivator with the top-grade spirit tool, the Seal, and two other tools sent back by Li Yaoqing.
Li Yaozu, the eldest son of the Li family, was the one who surprised Li Wei the most.
He had been wielding a hundred flying swords, guarding the Blood Spirit Fruit Tree. When a cultivator at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage attacked, he simply let out a cold snort. Within a hundred meters around him, all the swords floated into the air, and in an instant, ten thousand swords launched towards the enemy!
As for Li Yaotie, This guy used to be a burden to the Li family during battles.
But after acquiring the profession of Spirit Puppet Forger and crafting a spirit tool arm, he had undergone a complete transformation!
No wonder Li Yaotie had been showing off his arm to everyone lately.
With a burst of laughter, his arm began to transform like the spirit puppets he had created. Massive armor enveloped his body, granting him control of an eight-meter-tall spirit puppet as if he were piloting a mecha!
His body possessed the power of an eighth-rank spirit puppet, yet it was more agile. Wielding an enormous hammer weighing tons, he was a veritable reaper on the battlefield.
Li Yaotie's wife, Bai Rourou, was no slouch either. A dazzling blood pearl emerged from her body, granting her the power of a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator despite being only at the early stage. It was the Demon King Blood Pill that the Pig Demon King had gifted to his beloved daughter, Bai Rourou!
As for the nine members of the Li family's "Yun" generation, who usually interacted with outsiders, only Li Yunlin was transforming into flames, battling enemies with nine fire lotuses swirling around him.
Due to their weaker strength, Li Yunbing and the Seven Ironclad could only slowly approach the Blood Spirit Fruit Tree and fire randomly with the mid-grade spirit tool longbows crafted by Li Yaotie.
Their eyes, however, were fixated on their ancestor, who was chasing and obliterating Golden Core cultivators in the sky, and on their elders, who were displaying their impressive powers on the battlefield, their faces filled with admiration.
"Oh my god, does our family have this many secrets?"
"I thought that coffin was just for cultivation practice. Grandpa used it to release so many corpses... Now I finally understand why we've been told to bring back the corpses of our enemies all these years!"
"Eighth brother, what are you doing? Why are you pointing that knife at yourself?"
"I'm wondering where the best place to cut it off would be, so after I chop it off, I can have Dad attach one of those magical tool limbs for me."
"All the beatings we've taken over the years weren't in vain after all. Look at Grandma and Mom, they're helping Uncle chase down and beat those False Core guys."
"I've decided, I'm going to practice swordsmanship... Why? Because I want to be like Uncle and unleash ten thousand swords at once. That's damn awesome!"
"..."
Only Li Yunbing calmly observed the destruction of the Su family, pondering the shortcomings of this newly risen Golden Core clan.
He summarized his observations, preparing to address the weaknesses he had witnessed in the Su family and make the Li family even stronger.
"Spirit tools are crucial. If they had powerful protective spirit tools, things wouldn't have turned out this way."
"Their forces are too scattered. If all the clan members in their territory had united, with the support of formations, they wouldn't have been completely helpless against Golden Core cultivators. Actually, Yundou's plan to arm everyone wasn't entirely unreasonable, especially since we'll have abundant resources after this."
"It seems that our Li family still has too few trump cards. If we had ten more spirit treasures like the Heaven-Piercing Coffin, we would be much safer."
In the distance, Li Yunlin was touched by his family's rescue.
But when he noticed that everyone in his family was using Skyveil Sect techniques, his expression was filled with confusion and a hint of embarrassment.
He had struggled for many years in the Skyveil Sect, all for the sake of bringing back their techniques after reaching the Golden Core stage and strengthening his family.
Now...
"It must have been our ancestor's doing, right?"
As this thought crossed Li Yunlin's mind, his embarrassment vanished completely. Gazing at his ancestor's enigmatic figure battling in the sky, his eyes filled with admiration, he thought, "This is my ancestor, Li Yunlin's ancestor! Not only could he obtain the Skyveil Sect's techniques, but even annihilating the entire sect would be a trivial matter for him!"
