In the battle domain's poison disaster zone, Li Xiaotian emerged from the seventh level, his strength at least doubled.
Even if he faced Gu Qiankun again, he wouldn't be as helpless as before, unable to withstand a single blow.
"Only the fire disaster zone remains."
Li Xiaotian's eyes flickered. Give him another three days, and he could complete the enhancement in the fire disaster zone.
With that thought, Li Xiaotian didn't linger and moved towards the direction of the fire disaster zone.
"Hmm?"
Li Xiaotian suddenly frowned. A trace of his divine sense had been severed.
It was from when he first entered the battle domain and encountered an interesting barbarian province martial artist, whom he had asked to handle some matters, leaving a trace of his divine sense on the map for them.
"Quite quick."
Li Xiaotian smiled. He had asked Baishitong to investigate the grievances between the Ancient God Tribe and several other tribes, then use this to incite conflict.
But that was his previous plan. He had no confidence against Gu Qiankun then, so he came up with this method.
Now, however, it seemed unnecessary.
Once he returned from the fire disaster zone, he would have the confidence to face Gu Qiankun.
As long as no Heavenly-rank experts appeared, the Ancient God Tribe, no matter how many peak overlords they had, could not threaten him.
With this in mind, Li Xiaotian decided not to bother with the information Baishitong had gathered and continued towards the fire disaster zone.
"The battle domain's natural disaster zones are a pity. Yan Province doesn't have such a place."
Li Xiaotian thought to himself with some regret. If only he could bring his Dragon King Hall brothers here to improve their physiques together.
"Heh, greedy."
Li Xiaotian chuckled self-deprecatingly. His entry into the battle domain was also a series of accidents. Before coming here, he had no idea such a place existed.
Moreover, it was Qinglin who had told him about the news of improving strength in the natural disaster zones.
Without her reminder, he might never have thought of it.
As he neared the boundary between the poison disaster zone and the fire disaster zone, Li Xiaotian suddenly stopped. His gaze swept towards a certain area, and his entire demeanor instantly changed.
"Come out!!"
Li Xiaotian bellowed, simultaneously unleashing a punch.
It was an area shrouded in poisonous mist, appearing no different from its surroundings.
But with Li Xiaotian's current strength, even a casual glance would reveal anything amiss.
"Boom!"
The poisonous mist churned, and a silhouette, looking rather battered, emerged from it.
"Cough, cough, Overlord Li, it's a misunderstanding. I have no ill intentions! I have important information to tell you."
It was a human-shaped silhouette, with an egg-sized point of light flickering within the shadow. It was neither human nor demon, but it pulsed with vitality, looking exceptionally eerie.
"Hmph, if you have no ill intentions, why were you peeping at me from the shadows?"
Li Xiaotian sneered, then reached out to grab the silhouette.
"Rumble!!"
Li Xiaotian's hand seemed to cover the sky, and the surrounding poisonous mist recoiled, closing in on the silhouette.
The silhouette had initially intended to resist, but upon sensing the immense power, it was filled with shock and abandoned all resistance, allowing Li Xiaotian to seize it.
"What are you? A clone?"
Li Xiaotian held the silhouette, his eyes filled with curiosity. If not for its peculiar nature, he would have crushed it long ago.
"Cough, cough, Overlord Li, I truly have no ill intentions. Who I am is not important. What's important is that your mount, the Dragon Horse, is in danger now."
The silhouette spoke quickly, but its inner shock grew stronger. He discovered that after being captured by Li Xiaotian, he had no power to resist at all.
He was, after all, a mid-stage overlord, and coupled with his clan's unique life form, even a peak overlord might not be able to suppress him so easily.
"Dragon Horse!!"
Upon hearing this, a killing intent flashed in Li Xiaotian's eyes. His murderous intent immediately pressed down on the silhouette, and he sneered before speaking.
"If you had given me another reason, I might have believed you. But you say the Dragon Horse is in danger? Heh!"
It wasn't that Li Xiaotian didn't care about the Dragon Horse. It was that the Dragon Horse possessed a sixth sense for avoiding disaster and turning it into good fortune. Moreover, it was a coward and would flee at the slightest hint of danger. As long as it was careful, who could threaten it?
If not, the Dragon Horse also had incredible speed.
"It's true, Overlord Li. If you don't believe me, you can go out and see for yourself. Experts from the four major forces are currently pursuing the Dragon Horse, and it has been calling your name. Anyone in the central region knows about it."
The silhouette spoke urgently, somewhat flustered. It wasn't afraid that Li Xiaotian wouldn't be able to save the Dragon Horse in time, but rather that Li Xiaotian wouldn't believe him and would kill him.
Li Xiaotian's eyes narrowed. Given the Dragon Horse's cowardly nature, it was entirely plausible that it would call his name.
"I'll spare your life for now."
Li Xiaotian snorted coldly and instantly flew towards the outside of the poison disaster zone.
As he flew, gusts of wind accompanied him, making his speed even faster than before.
While not comparable to the Dragon Horse's extreme speed, among those of the same level, few could match Li Xiaotian's speed.
This was his gain from the wind disaster zone: improved agility and speed.
The silhouette that Li Xiaotian had captured remained in a state of shock. But then, it became excited in its heart. The stronger Li Xiaotian was, the greater the chance of success for their clan's cooperation with him!
Heaven blesses our clan! the silhouette murmured inwardly.
In the blink of an eye, Li Xiaotian had burst out of the poison disaster zone. Without hesitation, his divine sense spread out, covering a range of a hundred miles.
"Roar! Li Xiaotian, can you hear me? Damn it, hurry out, I'm going to die!!!"
As soon as Li Xiaotian's divine sense spread out, he detected the Dragon Horse's voice, and his expression immediately changed.
"Wait for me here!"
Li Xiaotian tossed the silhouette aside and then unleashed his full speed, creating a gust of wind. By the time the silhouette reacted, the other party had already vanished.
"So strong!"
The silhouette exclaimed in shock.
"Rumble!!!"
High in the sky, Li Xiaotian streaked across like a meteor. Wherever he passed, a terrifying pressure permeated the heavens and the earth. Simultaneously, the wind roared, and dust and stones flew on the ground.
"Who is that??"
"So strong!! Who was that just now?"
"Peak overlord, absolutely a peak overlord!!!"
"My heavens, could it be Li Xiaotian? Is Li Xiaotian really in the battle domain?"
On the ground, countless martial artists were stunned.
At the same time, the Dragon Horse could no longer hold on. It could no longer maintain its extreme speed.
The poison of Madam Du had spread throughout its body, preventing it from mobilizing the power within.
"Die!"
Behind it, a voice filled with killing intent echoed, followed by a spear piercing through space, appearing behind the Dragon Horse.
"Boom!"
With a deafening sound, the Dragon Horse had no time to resist. Its entire body was sent flying.
"Pfft!"
Both the Dragon Horse and Qinglin spat out a mouthful of blood. If not for the Dragon Horse's decent defense, the Seventh Divine General's spear might have pierced its body directly.
"You can't escape."
Qinglin said weakly.
"Damn it!"
The Dragon Horse roared, hating its own weakness.
At this moment, the Seventh Divine General and two others had already surrounded the Dragon Horse once more.
All three exuded terrifying pressure. Even without attacking, the immense pressure was already unbearable for the Dragon Horse, forcing it to its knees in submission.
"Roar!"
The Dragon Horse roared, emitting a roar of unwillingness. It tried with all its might to stand up, but no matter how hard it strained, it was futile.
It was too weak; its opponents were too strong!
"Hmph, beast!"
The Seventh Divine General snorted coldly and, without delay, swung his spear again, thrusting it towards the Dragon Horse.
"Bang!"
Just as it was about to strike the Dragon Horse, Xing Zhan, who was nearby, quickly intervened.
"Xing Zhan!!!"
The Seventh Divine General roared upon seeing this, his brows furrowed, his expression contorted in ferocity.
"Heh, Seventh Divine General, it cannot die. Your Ancient God Tribe might look down on a mere exotic beast, but our Xing Tian Tribe needs one."
Xing Zhan said with a smile, then pointed at the Dragon Horse and continued.
"It belongs to me. Afterward, our Xing Tian Tribe will compensate your Ancient God Tribe."
"Heh, your Xing Tian Tribe wants this beast, but our West Alliance Tribe wants it too."
Madam Du also spoke. Who wouldn't be tempted by a celestial beast?
"It must die! If you two dare to stop me, are you not afraid of being held accountable by the Divine Lord? Or do you think your two tribes combined can be a match for our Ancient God Tribe?"
The Seventh Divine General snorted coldly, his killing intent boiling.
Hearing this, Xing Zhan and Madam Du's expressions turned grim. Although the Ancient God Tribe was powerful, their combined forces were no match for it. But there was no need to state it so plainly.
"Roar! You bunch of despicable, shameless bastards! I am the Dragon Horse, not someone you can dispose of as you please. If you dare to harm me, someone will avenge me in the future!"
The Dragon Horse roared, feeling utterly wronged.
"Shut up! If you want to live, stop talking!"
Xing Zhan chided the Dragon Horse, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes. Wouldn't it be good for this stupid horse to become their Xing Tian Tribe's mount? At least it would be alive. But if it continued to provoke the Seventh Divine General, it might very well be killed by him.
"In the end, it's still a beast. To have three overlords like us go to such lengths for you, you should be content."
Madam Du said unhurriedly.
"Move aside! It must die, and the two of you cannot protect it."
The Seventh Divine General's eyes were filled with killing intent, his spear humming as he walked towards Xing Zhan and Madam Du.
"Seventh Brother, if the Dragon Horse dies, Li Xiaotian will definitely not let you go!"
At this moment, Qinglin shouted, looking at the Seventh Divine General with pleading eyes.
"Shut up! How dare you mention Li Xiaotian? You betrayed the Divine Lord and your tribe to keep his secrets, and you are also escaping punishment with this beast. Today, I will not only kill it but also kill you! To purge your tribe!"
The Seventh Divine General reprimanded, his eyes filled with anger and disappointment at Qinglin's actions.
"Seventh Brother."
Qinglin's body trembled, her face filled with disbelief. She couldn't believe that the person before her was the same Seventh Brother who had protected her since childhood.
"Roar! Miss Qinglin, don't be afraid, he can't kill me!!!"
The Dragon Horse growled, its eyes actually flashing with excitement. It looked at the three of them and roared loudly.
"You are finished!! Hahaha, you are finished!!! I want revenge, revenge!!!"
The three of them were startled by the Dragon Horse's demeanor, somewhat surprised. This stupid horse, which was at its wit's end, had suddenly changed, daring to provoke them.
The Dragon Horse, however, was internally excited, its eyes filled with exhilaration, because its sixth sense told it that today would be a day of great fortune!!
