My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death

"If they didn't die, kill them again." The chief senior brother of the Elder Council had a hint of killing intent on his face.

The pain still lingers from the blast that hit him.

"Senior Brother, there's something I want to talk to you about," said the disciple from the Divination Road.

"What is it? Did any disciple disobey your command?" The Chief Senior Brother asked, frowning.

"I just observed this Illusory World and found that it has perfectly replicated the laws of the Great Dao," the Disciple from the Divination Road said with amazement.

"It's a complete world, hundreds of times stronger than the world molded by the spiritual essences of our Elder Council."

"And then?"

"In this Illusory World, regardless of what you do, you can recover after you leave."

"So I can exploit this loophole and overdraw my lifespan to predict the movements of the Hidden Spirit Sect disciples."

"This method might be somewhat unfair, so I need your approval, Senior Brother," the Disciple of Divination Road said.

"Our contest with the Hidden Spirit Sect is fair. Your overdrawing of lifespan to make predictions is indeed a bit unfair," the Chief Senior Brother contemplated.

"But it seems a pity not to use it."

"Just keep an eye on the one who bombed me."

"We have this advantage, so it is not excessive to kill one of his disciples," a glint flashed in the eyes of the Chief Senior Brother.

"Alright, Senior Brother," the disciple of Divination Road agreed, a gleam in his eyes.

He was quite annoyed by the disciple who had been bombarding people with shells in the first round of battle.

At this moment, the team was hiding outside the range of the second Crystal Tower.

"The group from the Elder Council is definitely lurking around this second Crystal Tower. Right now, we need to prepare for anything. Bombard them and change locations," a member said, acting as if he knew everything.

Just then, his brow furrowed slightly.

For a moment, he had the feeling of being watched.

"Let's go, it's not safe here. We can't stay long," he quickly said.

The feeling was like when Xiong Li discovered him during the Great Escape Killing Game.

As soon as he had the feeling, he knew he should move and hide somewhere else.

Suddenly, while everyone was quickly packing up, a giant sword with a length of a thousand feet appeared in the sky above them.

Directly rushing towards the location where everyone was.

"Boom!"

The giant sword slashed down towards the location where the five were.

"It's over, it's over!" Their leader said, feeling that his aura had been locked onto. The endless sword intent was locked around him and he knew there was no escape.

A sword mark hundreds of miles long appeared in the place where they used to be.

The five-member team was wiped out in one slash.

Back at the Hidden Spirit Sect's headquarters, Situ Nan received the news of the team's wipeout.

"His concealment Divine Abilities were one of the best in the sect. A strike this precise implies that the other side has a main Divination Road disciple," Situ Nan analysed.

"I never managed to find him in advance even once during the Great Escape Killing Game," Xiong Li commented from the side.

"We need to change our battle plan with this in mind," a glint of determination appeared in Situ Nan's eyes.

Meanwhile, the two sides watching from a God's Eye view became even more interested.

"This is getting interesting. Let's see how our little military God handles this," Xu Fan smiled.

"When I was reincarnated, I had been a great general for several lifetimes. In such a situation, the appropriate response is to overwhelm the enemy and attack with overt tactics," Li Xingci said.

"In theory, that's correct. Let's see how they handle it below," Xu Fan nodded.

While everyone was watching the Illusory World, a bunch of enormous crabs as big as grinding discs were brought in.

The disciples of the Culinary Path, in collaboration with the cafeteria's Master Chef, have prepared a huge seafood banquet for everyone.

"Don't just focus on them, let's eat and drink as we should, being happy is the most important thing", said Xu Fan with a smile.

According to his calculations, it will likely end in a draw again, unless the disciple from the Divination Path disregards his lifespan, the result could then be unpredictable.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

As expected, after three days and three nights, the familiar final battle commenced again.

The battle was between Xiong Li and the Chief Senior Brother of the Elders Association.

The collision of the Body Refining Path and the Sword Dao, displayed the horror of cultivating the Body Refining Path to the extreme.

"Previously, it would have taken the utmost effort for me to break through Xiong Li's defense," Zhan Ling exclaimed as he watched the battle within the light curtain.

"Can you break Xiong Li's defense now?" Xu Gang, who was standing next to him, asked.

Having been promoted to the Esteemed One, he often sparred with Zhan Ling and was very familiar with Zhan Ling's combat power.

At his current stage, he absolutely could not break through Xiong Li's defense.

"I didn't say I can break it now, isn't just a bit more needed!"

"If I really put my life on the line to use the secret method, the most it would become is a situation where we would both perish together," Zhan Ling calculated.

No sooner had he finished speaking, the Chief Senior Brother of the Elders Association activated his secret method, and with a single sword strike eliminated Xiong Li's True Spirit.

However, he himself also died from overexertion.

The interesting thing was, even in the end, the count on that crystal tower was still 55.

The Hidden Spirit Sect and the Elders Association each held five towers.

Both sides were quite satisfied with this result, for it further boosted the fighting spirit of their Sect Disciples.

In the Elder Council Headquarters, Ming Kong, looking at the extinguished light curtain, couldn't help but chuckle.

"Next time, tell the Flying Dragon to use all his means."

Seeing his own disciples suffer setbacks didn't make him angry, but rather somewhat amused him.

Having a worthy rival was indeed the best motivation for improvement.

"It seems that those Immortal Tools, Dao Tools, Spiritual Treasures, and Spiritual Pills that we and the Hidden Spirit Sect have put up will not be needed," Ming Kong said to his fellow Sequence Elders while laughing.

"Isn't this a bit unfair?" said one of the Sequence Elders.

It should be known that a Cultivator who mainly practices Divination, disregarding his lifespan to use a secret method, would be like stripping naked in front of his opponent.

"No problem, the more it is like this, the more excited that end would be," Ming Kong laughed.

The competition between the disciples of the Hidden Spirit Sect and the Elders Association somehow leaked out.

It drew the attention of all the top-notch Sect powers in the Cultivation World.

They were all clamoring to join.

The next day after the news came out, the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect came knocking on the door.

"Great Master, when there's such a good thing happening, you should invite our Thousand Spirit Sect," he said.

"Isn't it just 100,000 Core disciples of the Inner Sect!"

"Our Thousand Spirit Sect can afford it, and we can also chip in for the rewards," the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect said, looking at Xu Fan with an eager expression in his eyes.

"It's the Elders Association who invited me, if the Thousand Spirit Sect wants to join, you are welcome. The more people, the merrier," Xu Fan said with a smile.

"Alright, I will organize 100,000 Core disciples to come over after I return," said the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect happily as this was a task given by his Eldest Brother, and he would be whipped if he didn't complete it.

"There's no need to go through all that trouble, I'll have the disciples of the Formation Path set up an entrance to the Illusory World at your place," Xu Fan said.

"That'd be great, I appreciate it, Great Master," he responded.
