In the early morning, sunlight filtered through the gaps in the forest, and dense energy emanated colorful rays under its illumination.
Li Xiaotian, accompanied by the meat mountain formed by the little Kui Snake, was in a canyon. He had guarded the little Kui Snake all night, as it was undergoing transformation, and he couldn't bear to abandon it.
"Hmm?"
Li Xiaotian suddenly floated into the air, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He sensed someone approaching, and they seemed to be targeting him specifically, their strength not weak.
Of course, he knew he would be discovered. With the little Kui Snake, which resembled a mountain of flesh, it was difficult to conceal his aura.
He wondered if the people coming were after him or the little Kui Snake behind him.
Li Xiaotian narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance.
One person appeared from each of the four directions: three men and one woman. There was a monk with six eyes on his head, enveloped in Buddhist light; a person clad in armor, exuding a turbulent aura; and another man holding a large bow, aiming at Li Xiaotian.
The last one was a petite woman, appearing harmless.
Li Xiaotian's heart tightened. He recognized all four. The six-eyed monk was from the Buddhist Realm, the other two men were from the Dou Qi world, and the final woman was from the Summoning Realm.
Encountering people from three supreme worlds at once was truly unlucky.
Moreover, the strength of the four was not weak, comparable to Tuoba Tao and others.
Li Xiaotian watched the four coldly, remaining silent. He adjusted his state, preparing for a full-blown battle. With the little Kui Snake present, he could not simply leave.
"Human, why do you not kneel upon seeing us?" the man holding the large bow spoke, his tone arrogant and his gaze indifferent.
As natives of supreme worlds, they held noble status in this realm, and other beings would show them utmost respect. Yet, this human before them remained calm, which displeased him.
"Why should I kneel?" Li Xiaotian asked, his aura erupting. Instantly, a terrifying pressure descended.
The four in the field changed expression, looking at Li Xiaotian with surprise. A mere human possessed such formidable strength, which was rare in the Void Universe.
"Your strength is considerable, human. You may not kneel. Are you willing to follow me? My name is Li Yu, one of the Three Heavenly Maidens of the Summoning Realm. If you follow me, I shall guarantee your future as a high-tier cultivator!"
The speaker was the woman from the Summoning Realm, her expression haughty, as if Li Xiaotian following her was an honor bestowed upon him.
"Amitabha, Benefactress Li Yu, this seat lacks a boy attendant. This person has good potential. May I ask for your generosity?" the six-eyed monk said unhurriedly.
"I saw him first, so he naturally belongs to me. Six Eyes, you are overstepping your bounds!" Li Yu frowned, a flicker of displeasure in her eyes.
Li Xiaotian's expression turned grim. These individuals were clearly accustomed to being high and mighty, discussing his allegiance in front of him. This was seeking death!
"Human, what is your name? Never mind, we are not interested. I will ask you, are you willing to follow me?" Li Yu asked Li Xiaotian, her tone arrogant.
"My lords, it's best not to waste words with this individual!" the man holding the large bow interjected. He glanced at Li Xiaotian, then at the meat mountain behind him, his tone haughty.
"Present the Kui Snake behind you, and then you may consider whom to follow. Also, clearly state the time and place you encountered this Kui Snake."
From the beginning, the four had adopted an arrogant attitude, completely disregarding Li Xiaotian. Even after Li Xiaotian revealed his strength, they were merely slightly surprised and contemplated subjugating him.
If Li Xiaotian had been merely an ordinary invincible mid-tier cultivator, these four would have likely attacked long ago.
"Heh, sirs, have you not recognized your own standing?" Li Xiaotian smiled, his face grim, his eyes filled with mockery.
"You four trash, who gave you the audacity to be presumptuous before me?!"
"Boom!"
Instantly, Li Xiaotian moved, unleashing his full power. His body reached four thousand zhang in the blink of an eye. He intended to finish this quickly and also let these four know the price of underestimating him.
"Presumptuous!"
"Seeking death!"
"You are merely a mongrel of the Ancient God race, who gave you the gall to be so audacious before the four of us?!"
The six-eyed monk and the other three were furious, their eyes filled with killing intent. Their condescending attitude persisted, still showing disdain for Li Xiaotian.
"Hmph!" Li Xiaotian sneered and instantly his body grew taller, reaching five thousand zhang!
At this moment, the six-eyed monk and the others were shocked. A five-tier being with a five-thousand-zhang body—this was a perfect divine body. Even the strong members of the Ancient God race might not attain such a level.
"Capture him alive! He must possess some secret!" Li Yu cried out, while the man holding the large bow shot a blood arrow formed from gas.
However, Li Xiaotian was faster than them.
"A bunch of trash, do you really consider yourselves people?" Li Xiaotian sneered, extending a sky-shading giant palm towards Li Yu and the six-eyed monk.
As for the arrow shot by the man with the large bow, he simply ignored it.
"Seeking death!"
Seeing Li Xiaotian attacking the two of them alone, Li Yu and the six-eyed monk were enraged. One chanted an incantation, and a spatial rift appeared behind him—a characteristic of the Summoning Realm lineage, hiding their summoned creatures.
The six-eyed monk's eyes emitted divine light, and six rays of light shot towards Li Xiaotian's giant hand.
But the next moment, their expressions changed. Li Xiaotian's giant hand directly ignored their attacks and slammed down.
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, the six-eyed monk's body exploded. Simultaneously, the spatial rift behind Li Yu shattered, and the summoned creature about to emerge let out a cry of agony. Blood then flowed from the void, and Li Yu herself was slammed into the ground by Li Xiaotian's palm.
Instantly, all four in the field were stunned.
"Immortal Body!"
"This is impossible! How can a lowly human possess such terrifying strength?"
The four were greatly alarmed, their eyes filled with disbelief. The six-eyed monk was restoring his body from a distance, his six eyes turning red. Li Yu soared into the sky, roaring in anger. Her Summoning Realm had not even been deployed before she was attacked; her true strength had not been fully displayed.
However, at the same time, the four were inwardly shocked. They had initially believed the human before them possessed only average strength, but he had far exceeded their expectations.
"Kill him!"
The man holding the large bow roared and drew his bow taut, instantly releasing three arrows.
Concurrently, another man roared at the sky, his Dou Qi transforming into a thousand-zhang long sword, which he swung at Li Xiaotian.
The six-eyed monk and Li Yu also became serious, both unleashing their full power at this moment.
"Heh, you are all just so-so."
Li Xiaotian sneered, his tone dismissive.
He then moved, his speed and strength erupting instantly. In a blink of an eye, he appeared before the two men from the Dou Qi world. With one punch each, their bodies instantly disintegrated.
Then, he roared and shattered the spatial rift that Li Yu had torn open again.
"Die!"
At this moment, the six-eyed monk attacked. Behind him, the figure of a golden Buddha appeared. As the six-eyed monk moved, a giant golden palm struck towards Li Xiaotian.
"You wish to suppress me for five hundred years? But, you are too weak!" Li Xiaotian raised an eyebrow, recalling a monkey from one of the Four Great Classical Novels of the Kyushu world.
