Chapter 1696: Chapter 1728: Drag Him Over
The delicate jade-like hand was veined with green vessels like dragons, and it violently smashed the fractured wrist against the ground. The resulting terrifyingly deep ravines crisscrossed each other, enough to strike fear into everyone watching.
At the crack, though only a small part of a head was exposed, the visage of that creature was already clearly visible.
It was a lion’s head with luxuriant fur, entirely covered in red hair, a single fanged tooth gleaming coldly, and crimson eyes that stared intently at the beings within the Immortal Gods Realm.
“An extraterrestrial creature, it’s an extraterrestrial creature!”
“They are a different kind of being from outside the Immortal Gods Realm!”
“Who exactly wants to cross realms to eradicate my Abyssal Domain?”
Qin Tian faced the lion head, feeling a shiver in his heart as he watched the beast’s crimson murderous intent flash from its eyes.
“Shenxiao Cross Heaven Scripture!”
The creature outside the crack roared madly, crazily struggling, desperately trying to squeeze its body out through the fissure.
If it’s pulled out, it will surely die.
The void rift began to heal, and the time for crossing realms was limited; the fissure couldn’t exist indefinitely.
The lion head was pleased, its struggles grew even fiercer.
“This void is beginning to reject you, you have no chance now!”
The lion head relaxed inside, laughing heartily.
The delicate jade-like hand sensed the spatial change, intensifying its movement in an attempt to drag the opposing body over quickly.
The scene fell into a stalemate.
The spatial healing was rapid, a neat interface cut through, and the lion head laughed loudly.
“Immortal Ye, your chances are gone, who would’ve thought you’d still be alive, what a delightful surprise.”
“The news of your survival I will take back, spreading it far and wide, surely everyone will be thrilled at the news!”
Right as the words fell, bones shattered and flesh burst open, the creature’s remaining small part of its head, two hands, and half a torso within the Immortal Gods Realm were neatly severed.
Subsequently, the fissure completely healed.
The body parts were severely injured by the spatial cut, but it was better than dying here; given time, it can heal the wounds.
The pair of fair hands lingered briefly on the firmament, then retracted into Qin Tian’s body.
A pale green light enveloped, as Qin Tian’s torn flesh slowly mended, eventually restored as new. The familiar, cold female voice echoed in his ears: “Destroy the formation, do not seek me for a while.”
“Furthermore, closely monitor the movements in the Land of the Dead. If there is any disturbance, put pressure on it.”
“The Wu Clan has been settled on your behalf.”
As her voice faded, everyone regained their movement, and Qin Tian looked around. The Qin Family cultivators were unscathed, while the clan leader of the Wu Clan lay in the blood, his head just burst by the delicate fingers.
Wu Tianci was also lifeless.
Qin Tian’s eyes shone, his lips slightly curved up, the fear he felt moments ago completely swept away.
“With Wu Tianci dead, the Wu Clan is no longer a threat, who would’ve thought this one would be so powerful, even stronger than those above that old guy, now I can boldly reform, the winds of the times have begun to blow in my favor!”
“Clean the battlefield, clear the corpses, and show no mercy to any remnants of the Wu Clan you find!”
“Yes!”
…
At the same time.
Elsewhere.
At the border between the Land of the Dead and the Abyssal Domain, Li Xiaobai watched the distant sky lost in thought.
The scene just now was vivid in his memory, fresh in his mind, those two hands, that tearing sky, so similar to what he once saw in the Central Origin Realm.
It was the Heavenly Gods, absolutely the Heavenly Gods of yore descending again, tearing the firmament, invading the Lower Realm, unlike before, this time someone resisted.
Those delicate jade-like hands, and the half-sky stained with green poison mist, undoubtedly it was Second Senior Sister Ye Wushuang who acted.
“Second Senior Sister is connected with Qin Tian, that lion head belongs to someone above the Wu Clan, so Second Senior Sister should belong to someone above Qin Tian or even the Abyssal Domain.”
“Which force is it exactly, Boundary Sea? Or something else?”
“What is the Netherworld that Senior Sister mentioned, and why is she trapped there?”
The more Li Xiaobai thought, the more his doubts grew rather than diminish. If only Sixth Senior Brother and Ergouzi were here, these two knowledgeable of past events, with cultivation nearing the peak, they could easily rescue Second Senior Sister.
He decided to find a chance to send a message west.
His mind sank into the System, summoning his clone, heading towards the Land of the Dead.
“Go and check the situation in the forbidden area.”
Li Xiaobai said.
The clone spat, cursing as it walked deep into the white bones.
A moment later, Li Xiaobai received the visual from the clone.
He was standing atop a towering cliff, at the foot was a mass grave, tombstones standing densely, with tiny green lights flickering in the distance.
“This is a good place, I’ve long heard of the Mythical Forbidden Area, with countless souls in the Land of the Dead, the more tombs, the more corpses, and the more corpses, the more the Lake of Resentful Spirits produces Great Resentment Species, a blessing in disguise.”
A golden chariot manifested beneath Li Xiaobai’s feet, transforming into a streak of light and rushing into the abyssal depths.
With a thought, the extreme Pure Land unfolded, casting all the tombstones into the Lake of Resentful Spirits, observing the refinement progress of the Giant Spirit God along the way.
Only the head remained unrefined, the resentment within the lake was stronger and more aggressive, the head being the hardest part to refine, containing a trace of residual soul and wisdom of the Giant Spirit God from its lifetime. It’ll take a few more days.
“Find some human presence.”
Li Xiaobai steered towards the area emitting the green light, traveling swiftly, finding no human traces on the road, only tombstones, all private.
Without exception, he collected them all, suddenly realizing the place wasn’t too bad, with readily available corpses, perfect materials for Great Resentment Species, bringing him a step closer to completing his army of Great Resentment Species plan.
“There’s a living creature ahead.”
Approaching the glow, the clone spoke.
“Is it a human?”
“Doesn’t seem like it.”
“My shoelaces are undone, why don’t you go check first?”
“What a coincidence, my shoelaces are also undone.”
“…”
The two exchanged a glance, then both figures advanced together.
“Who goes there?”
Drawing near, the source of the green light turned out to be a campfire with flames burning a dark green, vaguely showing bones burning within. Occasionally, the green flames would coalesce, forming a woman’s wailing face, bringing about a sense of horror.
“We’re refugees, the Abyssal Domain has erupted into conflict, spare us, good sir.”
Li Xiaobai cupped his hands in a gesture of humility, speaking with a pitiful demeanor.
In front of him, the creature was not human; it was a tree that had taken demonic form, its roots slithering and moving, a face of fear appearing on the trunk, two branches stopping Li Xiaobai from left and right.
“Intruding into the forbidden area brings death!”
The Tree Demon’s roots trembled, the ground suddenly sunk downwards, and quickly this tree disappeared into the earth, as did all the nearby vegetation, burrowing underground and vanishing without a trace.
Then, one by one, tendrils burst from the ground, wrapping around Li Xiaobai and the clone’s ankles, pulling them down.
The dark green poison spread, but it was useless against the Poison Immortal Body.
The System panel showed its value jumping.
[Attribute Point + one million…]
The clone stared at Li Xiaobai for a second, then burst out cursing: “Dammit, they’re so weak, beat them up!”
