"Buzz!"
On the leaf of the World Tree, the transparent figure was completely engulfed by Li Xiaotian's Devouring power, and at the same time, the other party's memories flashed through Li Xiaotian's mind.
But as he saw the other party's memories, Li Xiaotian was stunned.
Because the image in his mind was complete darkness, everything he saw was darkness, and the only memory with a sense of imagery was the scene that had just happened.
This meant that before he came into contact with this strange transparent figure, the other party had no memory at all.
"This is impossible!"
Li Xiaotian whispered, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
After all, no matter what living being it was before, as long as it was decomposed by his Devouring power, it would generate memories, but this time there was nothing!
Li Xiaotian frowned, thinking of the transparent figure's strange smile before its death, which meant that the other party knew that he would get nothing, and that's why he smiled so strangely.
What exactly is this thing? Li Xiaotian's expression became solemn. He had initially dismissed the existence behind the scenes, but at this moment, he had to take it seriously.
"Buzz!"
Instantly, Li Xiaotian released his divine sense and spread it out in all directions, trying to search for any abnormalities.
However, he failed and found nothing.
"A strange existence."
Li Xiaotian's eyes flashed, and then a flash of inspiration struck his mind, giving rise to a terrifying conjecture.
"Could it be... it is..."
Thinking of a certain possibility, Li Xiaotian's face kept changing, but then he denied himself, because his conjecture was too unbelievable and somewhat shocking.
"Perhaps I'm overthinking it."
Li Xiaotian whispered, his eyes flickering, and then he left the summit of the World Tree without any hesitation, as if he had forgotten everything that had just happened.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed. Li Xiaotian did not encounter any strange events afterwards, and he did not think or guess about what he had encountered, as if he had truly forgotten.
During this period, Li Xiaotian had been exploring and had obtained quite a few treasures, including the Divine Demon Liquid that could allow mortals to transform, the exotic fruit that could instantly heal the injuries of invincible experts, and the Chaotic Mud Infant that could become a second avatar by possessing it with divine sense.
It could be said that the harvest was very rich, but unfortunately, he had not found any clues about the World Fruit so far, and the fourth level had not been passed by any trial participant.
One day, Li Xiaotian arrived at a new continent, which he discovered at the core branch of the World Tree, very hidden. If it weren't for his powerful divine sense, he wouldn't have been able to find it.
As soon as he entered this continent, Li Xiaotian's expression slightly changed, and his eyes shot out divine light, looking towards the other side of the continent.
On the other side of the continent, a figure stood on a sea surface. He was about to leave, but sensing Li Xiaotian, he stopped.
The demon clan expert, Demon Elder Five!
One of the last two among the nine strongest of the demon clan. As for the others, they were naturally killed by Li Xiaotian.
Demon Elder Five stood on the sea surface, black mist undulating, as if forever shrouded in darkness, his face indistinguishable.
Li Xiaotian stood in the air on the other side of the continent, his aura calm, his gaze coldly fixed on the other party.
There were other trial participants on this continent, and at this moment, they had all discovered the presence of the two. For a moment, not a single person spoke. The continent was silent, and all the trial participants looked at these two with fearful expressions.
They knew that a great battle was inevitable.
Demon Elder Five, an existence that made one tremble with power, a proud son of the demon clan, possessing astonishing combat power in both the second and third levels, having once killed experts of the same realm in an instant.
As for Li Xiaotian, he was an existence that all trial participants could not ignore, because ever since he entered Hundred Battles City, he had been targeted and besieged by experts from the Divine Realm and the Twelve Supreme Worlds, but he had still forcefully carved out a bloody path.
It could be said that the two were now encountering each other, a clash of titans.
"Buzz!"
Silently, Demon Elder Five launched an attack. Demonic energy surged, covering the entire sea surface. Black clouds steamed, and an aura of extreme yin and evil permeated the air, reaching far and wide, chilling to the bone.
"Rumble!"
Then, under the shocked gaze of many trial participants, the black clouds condensed into a giant black hand, blotting out the sun and striking down.
"Roar!"
Where the giant hand passed, black water churned, and roars echoed through the sky, making all the trial participants tremble.
"Hmph!"
Li Xiaotian snorted coldly, raised his hand, and punched out. Brilliant golden light illuminated the dark night.
"Bang!"
The golden light collided with the black hand, causing a violent explosion. The black demonic clouds dispersed.
The first exchange between the two was evenly matched, but it caused the ocean beneath Demon Elder Five to churn wildly. Huge waves struck the sky, rising tens of thousands of feet into the azure sky, scattering all the clouds and thoroughly cleansing the sky.
"Hmph!"
Then, Demon Elder Five let out a cold snort, and an ice-cold chill permeated heaven and earth in an instant, freezing eternity.
At this moment, many trial participants hidden in the dark couldn't help but tremble and shiver, unable to withstand such profound cold.
Too strong!
A terrifying scene appeared on the sea surface. The giant waves that had risen tens of thousands of feet high and shattered the clouds all condensed, becoming ice peaks!
Then, the entire sea surface was completely frozen, forming a black continent, radiating chilling air that made one's bones feel like they would crack.
This was a shocking scene, where everything was solidified, as if frozen in this moment, becoming eternal.
Every wave, every large wave, was magnificent and majestic, as if carved by the divine craftsmanship of heaven, creating such a scene, motionless.
"Boom!"
Then, a black ice spear pierced through the air, carrying endless black mist and condensing immense demonic energy, thrusting towards Li Xiaotian's chest.
Demon Elder Five attacked proactively again. The terrifying ice spear made people's hearts tremble. It tore through space, freezing everything in its path.
"Bang!"
Li Xiaotian saw this and punched out, emitting a world-shaking sound. The ice spear shattered into dozens or hundreds of pieces, turning into a sky full of crystal fragments. Only the demonic energy remained undiminished and continued to surge.
"Swish swish swish!!"
Then, the demonic energy transformed into points of ice light, which were actually ice spears. They were everywhere from all directions, filling every inch of space, like thousands upon thousands of arrows flying towards a single point.
Demon Elder Five was very strong. The divine abilities he mastered alone could instantly kill many trial participants.
But the next moment, Li Xiaotian snorted coldly, and his Devouring power circulated, spreading outwards from himself as the center. Then, the ice spears instantly turned into flying ashes and were completely devoured.
