Chapter 1628
Luck
But Li Chengsheng also knew in his heart that if there was still a slight possibility of seeing his mother Jiang Fengwu, there was no hope at all of seeing his father Li Zhirui.
Because they had already guessed that the void was not a simple plane, but rather a series of overlapping spaces that were separated from each other.
There might be a way through two dimensions, but that's clearly not something they can control right now.
Moreover, even if they had the information, Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo wouldn't dare to go.
You must understand, that's a void filled with beings at the Xuanxian level, and its danger level is far greater than this place. With their current strength, going there wouldn't be a way to find Li Zhirui, but rather a way to their deaths!
Unless one is incredibly lucky and encounters Li Zhirui as soon as they enter, receiving his protection, they will not be able to survive.
After Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo had recovered and rested enough, they set off again, walking cautiously through the void.
They weren't afraid of encountering chaotic beasts or other celestial beings; their concern stemmed from the fear that they might unknowingly find themselves in danger.
Slowing down makes it easier to extricate yourself if you realize something is wrong.
"There's the sound of fighting not far ahead!"
Li Chengshuo spoke up, asking, "Brother, should we go up and take a look?"
"Be careful!" Li Chengsheng said without hesitation.
A horse won't get fat without night grass, and a person won't get rich without unexpected wealth!
Who doesn't know such a simple and easy-to-understand principle? Besides, he's not a pedantic person.
The two completely concealed their auras, and Li Chengshuo even cast the Taiyin Concealment Divine Power on them, making it even more difficult for others to detect their whereabouts.
When Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo approached silently, they saw two enormous, strangely shaped chaotic beasts desperately biting, fighting and killing each other.
"Brother, the fighting between these two ferocious beasts is making too much noise and may attract other creatures. Should we intervene?"
It's even possible that other creatures were already lurking nearby before they arrived.
They wanted to be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, but they didn't want there to be a bird of prey behind the oriole.
"No!"
After considering for a moment, Li Chengsheng decided to be on the safe side and transmitted his voice, "After the battle is over, let's not rush to show ourselves. Let's check if there are any other creatures nearby before we take any action."
Anyway, it'll only take a little longer, it won't delay anything. The surviving beast won't be able to finish off its spoils so quickly.
If there are other creatures, they can take advantage of the situation and launch a surprise attack, injuring the creature and gaining a significant advantage.
We might even be able to kill it and gain another spiritual item!
However, it is also possible that while they continue to wait, other living beings may arrive.
They could have easily taken away a rich spoils if they had simply shown themselves and quickly dealt with the living beast, but instead, waiting only caused more trouble.
But these are all things that have not yet happened, and we will have to wait and see how things develop.
At least for now, they are determined to wait a while longer and make sure there are no other living beings before taking action!
Rumbling--
Two ferocious beasts, each the size of a small mountain, fought fiercely in the void, the terrifying impact of their collision spreading outwards.
When Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo realized something was wrong, they immediately withdrew and retreated, so they were not affected in the slightest and did not expose themselves.
However, the other beings did not react as quickly as they did. They only realized what was happening when the chaotic wave they had stirred up had already passed halfway, and hurriedly cast spells to retreat.
Although he did not directly reveal his form, the fluctuations in his spellcasting were quite obvious.
Perhaps the chaotic beasts in the midst of their battle were unaware, but Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo saw it all.
The brother and sister exchanged a glance, further confirming that they should not rush out immediately after the ferocious beasts had determined their victor.
Roar!
Suddenly, a ferocious beast let out a shrill scream, and for some reason, a huge hole appeared in its body, from which a large amount of blood gushed out like an underground spring.
Its aura began to decline rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it was less than half of what it was before.
This scene gave Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo a big fright.
Even as bystanders, they couldn't discern what strange methods the other ferocious beast had employed.
"Brother, do you know what kind of tactic this is?"
Li Chengsheng frowned slightly, carefully recalling what had happened, but still couldn't see any clues. He shook his head and said, "I can't tell either..."
"If we encounter this ferocious beast later, we must be careful to avoid this situation."
Besides being extra cautious, there was no other way. They didn't even know how to defend themselves, since they hadn't figured out the principles behind it or seen the beast make its move.
"However, it also consumes a lot of its own energy after launching this strange attack."
After Li Chengsheng noticed that the attack power had weakened slightly after the technique was activated, he said, "It should also be some kind of life-saving secret technique, which cannot be used frequently."
These words completely calmed Li Chengshuo down. If that was the case, then there was nothing to worry about.
Meanwhile, the battle between the two ferocious beasts was nearing its end.
The severely wounded beast let out a mournful, pitiful wail, trying to struggle and resist, but its strength had completely dissipated, and it didn't even have the strength to stand up.
Not long after, its head drooped, and it was completely lifeless.
Roar!
The other ferocious beast was naturally overjoyed to see this, because devouring the corpse would allow it to further enhance its strength.
Without much thought, he rushed forward, baring his teeth, wanting to absorb all the essence of flesh and blood from the corpse and turn it into resources for his own growth.
Meanwhile, the creature lurking nearby felt that now was the perfect time to make its move!
The ferocious beast was to his side and in front of him, and it was only thinking about reaping the spoils, completely unaware of the other dangers nearby.
Just as it was happily biting the corpse and began to absorb the essence of its flesh and blood, it stopped abruptly after only a moment.
It was as if they had encountered something terrifying, and they avoided it at all costs, unwilling to get any closer.
At that moment, that creature launched its attack.
But the beast didn't suddenly stop for that reason, because it hadn't even noticed an attack coming at it.
Instead, the beast's corpse contained extremely terrifying toxins, making it completely unsuitable as fuel for its growth.
And the moment it absorbs the essence of flesh and blood, toxins mix in and enter its body.
That's why it immediately abandoned that resource.
However, the creature's subsequent killing move did indeed cause considerable damage to the ferocious beast, leaving a wound on its body.
Roar!
Similarly, this attack thoroughly enraged the ferocious beast, and its thunderous roar echoed through the void.
The celestial being that had already made its move was caught off guard and was so dizzy that it had to cancel its second attack and switch to defense. It immediately flew away to avoid being injured due to its unstable condition.
The ferocious beast wanted to pounce and kill it instantly, but its body suddenly went limp in mid-air and it plummeted to the ground. It wasn't in good shape; it had been poisoned, attacked by a Celestial Immortal cultivator, and its previous battle had taken a heavy toll.
It's fair to say that its current strength is less than two or three tenths of what it was at its peak!
Even so, the ferocious beast showed no intention of turning around and running away, but continued to attack the cultivator.
Its idea was simple: kill him, devour his spiritual energy and flesh, and it would not only recover quickly but also advance further.
"Brother, is it time to make a move?" Seeing that neither side was in a good state, Li Chengshuo began to feel restless.
Li Chengsheng did not respond because he was concentrating on analyzing whether taking action now would be good or bad for them, and what the outcome would be.
"flat!"
But the final result was neither good nor bad.
He was quite satisfied with the result.
After all, although he has some talent in divination, he doesn't use it often, so it's hard to say how accurate it is.
"Let's do it!"
Therefore, Li Chengsheng acted decisively. Before he finished speaking, a beam of solar divine light condensed in his palm and shot it directly at the ferocious beast.
Li Chengshuo reacted swiftly and cooperated perfectly with him, unleashing a series of Taiyin Ice Arrows with a wave of his hand, intending to eliminate the cultivator directly.
The brother and sister were already quite strong, but their opponents were significantly weakened for various reasons.
Therefore, as soon as the two sides clashed, they gained an absolute advantage, suppressing their opponents and forcing them closer and closer to the abyss of death.
Roar!
The ferocious beast roared angrily, but it was not as powerful as before, instead revealing its weakness and its true state of being all bark and no bite.
"Ah!"
Li Chengsheng merely sneered, clenched his right fist, and slammed it heavily towards the ferocious beast. Instantly, a huge fist burning with the true fire of the sun appeared out of thin air.
Rumbling--
The next instant, a deafening, earth-shattering collapse resounded.
When the flames subsided, the ferocious beast that had been so arrogant not long ago was now a lifeless corpse.
On the other hand, facing the approaching death, this cultivator made a choice that was completely opposite to that of the ferocious beast!
"I beg you, fellow Daoist, to have mercy and spare my life! If you agree, I am willing to give you all the spiritual items I possess."
He lacked the courage to fight to the death, instead placing his hope for survival in Li Chengshuo's kindness and compassion.
Upon hearing this, Li Chengshuo did indeed stop.
The cultivator thought his pleas for mercy would work, so he begged for mercy again and again, even completely abandoning his dignity as a celestial being, bowing his head and bending over, almost kneeling on the ground.
Do you think that's possible?
Li Chengshuo's face was full of sarcasm and disdain as he said, "Does killing you now mean that the spiritual items in your possession will no longer belong to me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, her attacks became even more powerful and forceful, indicating her intention to end the fight.
Upon seeing this, the cultivator begged for mercy repeatedly while frantically trying to shake her off.
"Trying to escape? Did you even ask me?"
A beam of light, faster than him, shot out and intercepted the man halfway. After a little time, it decisively killed him.
"Let's leave here first, then we can collect the spoils."
Upon seeing this, Li Chengsheng, who had ended the battle prematurely, immediately spoke up.
The reason he didn't step forward to help was because he believed that with Li Chengshuo's strength, dealing with a Celestial Immortal in a weak state would be a piece of cake, and he wouldn't need anyone else's help at all.
"it is good."
With a wave of her hand, she stored the corpse of the celestial cultivator into a specially reserved storage magic treasure.
Immediately, the two transformed into rainbow light and swiftly departed from the area.
About half an hour later, the two stopped.
After confirming there was no danger, Li Chengshuo set up a concealment array.
She studied array formations, but she didn't inherit Jiang Fengwu's terrifying talent for array formations; she could only be considered to have above-average aptitude.
Even so, for many array cultivators, this talent is already strong enough.
The two then began to divide up their spoils.
First, there's the corpse of that poisonous beast. The terrifying toxins have seeped into its flesh and blood, so there's no other way but to choose those unaffected spiritual objects.
Secondly, there was the corpse of another ferocious beast, and that weak cultivator.
The corpse was also infected with some toxins, but not so severely; at least some flesh and blood remained, making it edible.
The other cultivator's storage magic item contained far more items.
There were two Mystic Immortal-level Chaos Spiritual Objects, several Celestial Immortal-level Spiritual Objects, and various cultivation techniques—it was a tremendous harvest!
Spiritual items that are useful for one's own cultivation are distributed directly, while those that are not needed for the time being are kept in half by each person.
However, they couldn't use many of the spiritual items inside, and they dared not take spiritual items like pills casually.
It would be a shame to just throw them away, so I'll just keep them safe for now. If I ever have the chance to meet the Chaos Merchant Guild in the future, I can sell all these spiritual items.
After collecting their spoils, Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo each restored their magical power and adjusted their state.
A few days later, the brother and sister set off again.
"Brother, how far are you from reaching the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm?"
During the journey, the two chatted casually.
In fact, Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo had long since reached the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm. However, in order to leave the Yuanling Realm, they sacrificed their original divine positions, which caused their realm and cultivation to plummet, and they almost regressed to the Earth Immortal realm.
In recent years, rather than cultivating and improving their realm, they have been restoring their original strength.
"If all goes well, it will take about a thousand years."
Li Chengsheng did not refuse to answer this question.
Rumble!
The chaotic spiritual energy that permeated the void suddenly began to churn violently.
Then a colossal palace descended from the sky, landing not far in front of them. (End of Chapter)
