Chapter 1345: Chapter 1346: The Essence of Survival
Li Xiaobai waved his hand.
Inside the Blood Demon Sect, a thousand Saint Realm Godzillas surged forward, surrounding Xueshenzi and a group of Saint Realm experts in the black fog, layer after layer, leaving no gaps.
These Saint Realm experts, who had just hatched out of the insect eggs, had no chance of escape. As they activated their Domain Power to forcibly traverse through the depths of the void, the terrifying gravity descending from the firmament shattered their Domain Power instantly.
A thousand Saint Realm Godzillas simultaneously unleashed their Domain Power, radiating a monstrous and overwhelming presence. In the blink of an eye, the Blood Demon Sect crumbled inch by inch under this earth-shattering gravity, reduced to ruins.
The air distorted visibly, and the All Heaven Twelve Divine Fiends collapsed in an instant. A multitude of Saint Realm cultivators were forced to kneel on the ground, spitting large amounts of blood from their mouths in terror and rage.
“Xueshenzi, what’s the meaning of this?! This is not what we agreed upon!”
“You said that this kid only had around two hundred Demonic Beast resources, which was the only reason why my Blood Sun Heavenly Egg Clan agreed to help!”
“What is happening here?! Where did this kid get all these Demonic Beast resources from?!”
One after another, the black-robed cultivators, pinned helplessly to the ground with arms and legs splayed out, furiously berated Xueshenzi, showing no signs of reverence.
Li Xiaobai squinted his eyes. He could feel that the Blood Sun Heavenly Egg Clan didn’t actually belong to the Blood Demon Sect but seemed to have come at the behest of the other party. The relationship between them was intriguing.
“How the hell should I know?! There’s a huge secret hidden in that kid’s body!”
“His resources are far superior to those of my sect!”
The black fog dissipated, revealing Xueshenzi within, looking just as he had during their encounter on the Western Continent—pale-faced, devoid of vitality, rigid-limbed, and devoid of spirit in his eyes.
Another corpse!
The Xueshenzi hidden here was yet another body double!
It was another wisp of Divine Soul Power infiltrating a corpse’s Spiritual Platform for control—a mere External Incarnation.
“Sect Master Xue truly embodies the idea of a cunning rabbit with many burrows!”
“The art of survival has been honed to its pinnacle. It seems I finally understand why Sect Master Xue has managed to endure for a thousand years!”
Li Xiaobai’s eyes grew cold as he spoke with a detached tone.
This endless layering of body doubles by Xueshenzi, always walking the world through External Incarnations, was proving to be a troublesome strategy. Perhaps the next Xueshenzi he encountered would still be a fake. As long as this guy kept hiding in the shadows, capturing him would be incredibly difficult.
“Kid, I didn’t expect you to possess such energy. Inside the Central Origin Realm, even my sect cannot claim superiority over you. However, you’ve once again exposed your foundations. With every encounter, my sect gains deeper insight into your strength and resources. Just wait, I’ll find a way to break through all your defenses and take your head someday!”
The corpse’s eyes flared with anger as it snarled viciously.
Though Li Xiaobai’s Godzilla army triumphed both times, Xueshenzi had yet to suffer any substantive harm. Instead, he gained a clearer understanding of Godzilla’s foundations.
This is exactly what people mean when they say—when two people fight, the ones dying are often those trying to mediate.
“After today, the Central Origin Realm will no longer have the Blood Demon Sect, only the fugitive Xueshenzi. You won’t escape! I’ll be waiting for you at the Sword Sect’s Second Peak latrine!”
Li Xiaobai shouted furiously. In the void, one of the Godzillas unleashed gravity that descended heavily, smashing Xueshenzi’s body into pieces.
Even as another External Incarnation, Xueshenzi did not resist, almost as if offering himself up for slaughter. At the moment of his death, a sinister, eerie smile lingered on his lips.
“Swish!”
A familiar crimson light flashed once again, transforming into a beam that pierced through the void and fled rapidly.
“Another wisp of Divine Soul Power. Is it returning to the main body this time?”
“Follow him! Let’s see where this guy is heading!”
Li Xiaobai instructed two Saint Realm Godzillas beside him. The two Godzillas immediately melded with the void, swiftly piercing through it.
As for the others, they suffered heavy injuries inflicted by Godzilla, their Dantian shattered and their powers lost, barely clinging to life but spared from death.
With their Dantian destroyed and their cultivation level dissipated, the black-robed group was left as mere mortals, devoid of any energy within their bodies.
“Take them all. Leave no one behind!”
Li Xiaobai ordered coldly.
“Roar!”
Massive claws descended, lifting all the black-robed men present like helpless chicks.
These people harbored significant secrets that warranted investigation.
“You brat! You’ve crippled our cultivation. The Blood Sun Heavenly Egg Clan will not let you off!”
“And Xueshenzi—Xueshenzi, you’ve deceived us!”
The Saint Realm cultivators sprawled on the ground cursed angrily, realizing they’d been duped by Xueshenzi. That guy had spouted nonsense, never intending to face Li Xiaobai in a decisive battle. Instead, he merely sent an External Incarnation to probe the other’s strength.
The real main body was likely never here!
“Shut up! Utter another word, and each of you will chow down three pounds of shit!”
Li Xiaobai barked, silencing the area instantly.
“Senior Yitilou, Senior Yan Zuzi, you can come out now. I’m truly curious why you two choose to aid a villain and shield Xueshenzi!”
Li Xiaobai stood with his hands behind his back, addressing the darkness.
He knew the pair were hiding here, merely reluctant to reveal themselves.
“Ahem, young friend, it’s been a long time. I’ve missed you greatly!”
Sure enough, as soon as he spoke, a figure emerged from the corner of the shadowy darkness. The figure was thin and slightly disheveled—this was Senior Yitilou, who walked out slowly with his hands behind his back.
“It feels like an eternity since our last meeting. I didn’t expect that when we crossed paths again, Young Master Li’s strength and foundation would have already reached the pinnacle. This progress can no longer be described as ‘Godspeed.’ Even if you claimed to be a reincarnation of a Supreme Heavenly Sovereign, we would believe it!”
Yan Zuzi also stepped out slowly, his gaze filled with shock and awe.
Thinking back to their last encounter on Ice Dragon Island, Li Xiaobai was merely at the third stage of the Immortal Realm. Yet in just two or three months, he had grown into a figure capable of confronting the Blood Demon Sect.
This was completely beyond their comprehension. Three months ago, he was but a junior in the third Immortal stage. Now, he had become an exalted giant revered by all.
Even though Xueshenzi had speculated that some hidden expert was secretly aiding him, the whole situation was far too absurd. Summoning a thousand Saint Realm Godzillas at once—such audacity was unimaginable. What was even more astonishing was that he did it without hesitation, implying that he might have even more resources at his disposal!
Who exactly was the immortal force aiding him in the shadows?
This was a maneuver meant to shake the very foundation of the Central Origin Realm—a total cleansing of its order!
