In the void, Li Xiaotian had a long conversation with Luo Ya, a dragon-person. Although Li Xiaotian had learned much about the void universe from the memories of the Crocodile Venerable, the other party was a void demon beast, a weak group in the Western Domain. They were usually in hiding, always in danger of being hunted and refined. Therefore, the Crocodile Venerable's understanding of the void universe was far inferior to Luo Ya's. After all, Luo Ya had the entire Dragon-Person clan behind him, while the Crocodile Venerable had to figure things out on his own.
"Fellow Daoist Luo Ya, it's fortunate I met you this time. Otherwise, I fear I would have been permanently trapped in the Domain of Lost upon arriving in the void universe." Li Xiaotian said to Luo Ya with sincere gratitude.
"Heh, Fellow Daoist Xiaotian exaggerates. I merely acted on impulse. After all, encountering each other in the vast void is also a form of destiny," Luo Ya replied with a smile, then continued. "I happen to be returning to the Heavenly Water World. Fellow Daoist needs to report to the Fire Spirit Realm, so we're going the same way. Why don't we travel together?"
"When we reach the Heavenly Water World, Fellow Daoist might as well stay for a few days and experience the scenery of my Heavenly Water World."
Li Xiaotian was stunned by this offer. Travel together? How was that possible? He had no intention of going to the Fire Spirit Realm! His destination was the Domain of Lost, as he could sense Yuan He Gu and the others were there.
"Fellow Daoist Luo Ya is too kind. However, as I am new to the void universe, although this time I narrowly avoided entering the Domain of Lost, since I am here, I might as well take this opportunity to look around and feel the power of the Domain of Lost." Li Xiaotian quickly said with a smile. "Fellow Daoist, please return home first. I will visit you in the Heavenly Water World when I pass by on my way to the Fire Spirit Realm."
"Very well, since Fellow Daoist has such refined taste, I shall not disturb you." Luo Ya said with a smile, showing no displeasure, his expression still benevolent. "Farewell, Fellow Daoist!" Luo Ya said, preparing to leave. Li Xiaotian politely bid him farewell.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, as Luo Ya was about to leave, he unleashed a palm strike towards Li Xiaotian. A sea materialized out of thin air, surging to engulf Li Xiaotian.
"What is the meaning of this, Fellow Daoist?" Li Xiaotian's face darkened, his eyes icy cold.
"Heh, I just wanted to invite Fellow Daoist to tour my Heavenly Water World." Luo Ya said with a smile, and the boundless seawater instantly submerged Li Xiaotian.
Li Xiaotian roared, half his body emerging from the sea. A strange sensation flashed through his mind. The seawater was peculiar. Although it looked like ordinary seawater, it felt incredibly viscous, and the water was filled with strange power that restricted his movements.
"Fellow Daoist! Since you invited me to tour your Heavenly Water World, why attack me?" Li Xiaotian roared.
"Ha, why pretend to be foolish, Fellow Daoist? Do you really think I would invite a stranger to my Heavenly Water World? I merely wish to supplement the energy of my Heavenly Water World. An invincible second-tier expert is enough for my Heavenly Water World to birth a new invincible." Luo Ya laughed heartily, casting aside his pretense. After all, Li Xiaotian was already trapped by his Great Dao power. Few within the same tier could break free from the seawater he transformed with his Great Dao.
"I see. So there's no room for negotiation? Fellow Daoist, you are the first being I've met since entering the void universe, and I felt you were decent. Are you sure you want to attack me?" Li Xiaotian narrowed his eyes, his expression no longer angry.
"Why speak such nonsense, Fellow Daoist? You became invincible, so your talent and intelligence must be good. Since I have already made my move, how could there be room for compromise?" Luo Ya said dismissively. "My apologies, newcomer. In your next life, I hope your luck is better. The void universe is not a place for novices like you."
With that, Luo Ya flicked his serpentine tail, causing the entire sea surface to churn with monstrous waves, exuding a terrifying killing intent as they pressed towards Li Xiaotian.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
At this moment, the seawater seemed to transform into countless fine needles, striking Li Xiaotian's body with loud thuds. Li Xiaotian felt the damage his body sustained and subtly curled his lips. Luo Ya's strength was far from what he had estimated.
"So be it. Since you broke the peace first, do not blame me for being ruthless." Li Xiaotian said coldly. The next moment, his body vanished into the seawater.
"Hmm?!" Luo Ya's expression immediately turned to surprise. The person had disappeared!
