"I imagine no one would impersonate me, right? So, do you choose to obey or die?"
Li Xiaotian spoke calmly in response to the giant eagle's doubt.
"I'll obey, don't kill me, don't kill me!"
The giant eagle quickly replied, thoroughly terrified. At that moment, it truly believed Li Xiaotian's identity.
After all, no one would impersonate someone who was wanted by the God Realm and considered an mortal enemy by the Demon Race. Moreover, the number of humans listed on the stone tablet was very small, and there was only one named Li Xiaotian.
Therefore, the person before it was indeed Li Xiaotian, who had slain Mo Lin and was wanted across the entire universe by the God Realm!
"Go deeper!" Li Xiaotian instructed casually.
"Alright!" The next moment, the giant eagle spread its wings and flew like a black lightning bolt across the sky, overlooking the mountains and plains, heading towards the deeper parts of the forest.
It understood that Li Xiaotian wished to evade the God Realm's powerhouses, so it flew rapidly towards more remote and deeper locations. As for exposing Li Xiaotian's whereabouts, it wouldn't dare even if given a hundred chances, as doing so would lead to its own immediate demise at Li Xiaotian's hands.
Across the vast land, on various mountain peaks, formidable figures were traversing, their gazes turning into beams of light that pierced through the clouds, scanning their surroundings.
Just as Li Xiaotian had imagined, those who wished to kill him had arrived, and these powerhouses seemed to know Li Xiaotian's location, all advancing in the same direction.
Simultaneously, as more and more trial-takers discovered Li Xiaotian, the entire trial world was shaken, like a hurricane sweeping across the entire world.
The human who had slain Mo Lin had arrived. He was wanted by the God Realm across the universe, a blasphemer, and the Demon Race had even placed an astronomical bounty on him.
At this moment, countless beings were tempted. Some were tempted by the bounty on Li Xiaotian, while others’ eyes were filled with fighting spirit. As all were peak sixth-order cultivators and heavenly talents, how could they prove themselves superior?
Only by slaying a recognized powerhouse could they be considered the strongest!
And Li Xiaotian was evidently a perfect candidate. A human, with no backing, wanted by the God Realm, and having slain him would not only yield an astronomical bounty but also prove one's own strength. Who wouldn't be tempted?
The strong wind blew through the boundless forest. The giant eagle's massive body carried Li Xiaotian away, stirring up immense ripples. Among them, some beings who were training in the depths of the forest instantly sensed it and ascended the mountain peaks to look.
On the back of the giant eagle, the figure was not very clear, in fact, it was rather indistinct. He was like a steadfast rock, exuding an unyielding rigidity.
Like a meteor crashing into the vast ocean, tremendous waves swept across the desolate heavens. Some beings, upon seeing this, looked shocked. This person had actually subdued a trial-taker as a mount. They were still unaware of Li Xiaotian's arrival.
While others looked astonished and somewhat confused. A human! There seemed to be only one human capable of such power, and that was Li Xiaotian!
Some were shocked, some were excited, their reactions varied.
"Sir, this approach is not sustainable. Trial-takers are everywhere, you might have been exposed," the giant eagle said after a moment of thought, its words laced with respect, but also filled with trepidation. Flying across the sky like this, without any concealment, surely some of the most powerful beings had seen Li Xiaotian's true form.
"It's nothing," Li Xiaotian replied, displaying neither joy nor worry. He gazed at the magnificent mountains and rivers below, at the boundless territory, his expression unreadable.
His eyes flickered. He was certainly exposed, but his current objective was to avoid being besieged, not to deliberately evade. Therefore, even if his whereabouts were discovered by some beings, he didn't care, as long as not too many powerhouses came, he would simply slay them!
Moreover, he possessed his ultimate life-saving trump card.
The giant eagle's feathers stood on end, and its body emanated bursts of bloody aura, obscuring Li Xiaotian's figure. It feared that more and more formidable powerhouses would target Li Xiaotian.
It did not know Li Xiaotian's intentions, but it was afraid. What if they were cornered, and it was carrying Li Xiaotian? It would undoubtedly be considered Li Xiaotian's accomplice and would also die.
Thinking of this, the giant eagle was filled with regret. There were so many demonic beasts in this world; it could have just satisfied its craving by swallowing one. Why did it have to think of capturing a human to tease its palate?
Now, it had encountered the most ruthless human, essentially digging its own grave!
Li Xiaotian remained silent and said little. Seeing the giant eagle act this way, he didn't object, letting it do as it pleased.
"Boom!"
Just as Li Xiaotian and the giant eagle passed through a cluster of mountains, thousands of golden beams of light suddenly shot down from the sky. Several figures with soaring auras blocked the path of the man and the beast.
"Powerhouses from the Dou Qi world!"
The giant eagle exclaimed in shock upon seeing this, its feathers bristling.
Li Xiaotian, however, stood with his hands behind his back, glanced at the figures blocking the way, and then let out a mighty roar at the incoming beams of light. Immediately, like world-destroying thunder, rolling sound waves surged, tearing through the sky for over a thousand miles, as if the very ocean were being overturned.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
In an instant, the combined attacks launched by the four powerhouses from the Dou Qi world were directly destroyed. The light beams shattered one after another, turning into nothingness under Li Xiaotian's roar.
"It really is you, Li Xiaotian! Do you still remember Dou Yan from our Dou Qi world?"
A powerhouse from the Dou Qi world, a young man with a ferocious expression and killing intent soaring to the heavens, roared from a distance.
"Dou Yan?" Li Xiaotian frowned, recalling the people from the Dou Qi world he had killed in the Mountain Emperor world. He then chuckled softly.
"I've forgotten. I've killed too many from your Dou Qi world. Who is Dou Yan? I don't know."
"Scoundrel!"
"You court death!"
"Li Xiaotian, you lowly human, today is your death day!"
The four from the Dou Qi world were enraged, their eyes spitting fire. Li Xiaotian's words were simply too arrogant in their eyes. He had forgotten about killing so many powerful figures from their Dou Qi world!
How could this be anything but arrogance and presumptuousness?
At this moment, the giant eagle carrying Li Xiaotian felt utterly distressed. It had thought only people from the God Realm were hunting Li Xiaotian, but now it seemed that the enemies the man had provoked were far more numerous than the rumors suggested.
