Chapter 1648
The Reason
Therefore, when Li Zhirui saw that the ferocious beast had fallen into the tribulation of inner demons, he immediately left the space and fled the place at the fastest speed.
"Humph!"
The ferocious beast, though clearly trapped in a demonic illusion, still seemed to have a clear understanding of the outside world. It snorted and said, "You're quite sensible."
If he thinks it's incapable of fighting now, he's sorely mistaken!
It didn't take its inner demons seriously at all, and could even multitask under these circumstances.
However, after a few breaths, it opened its eyes.
As for that inner demon, it seems to have appeared out of nowhere, and no one knows how it disappeared.
All that is known is that the tribulation clouds above its head transformed into a massive amount of pure spiritual energy, flowing into its body like a rushing river. Its previously weak aura quickly recovered and surged.
boom!
The moment the ferocious beast successfully broke through, an abyss-like pressure erupted from its body, like a powerful shockwave that spread in all directions.
The next instant, a powerful force suddenly appeared, completely enveloping the ferocious beast's body. Even though it had successfully broken through to the Golden Immortal realm, it was powerless to resist and then vanished without a trace.
……
the other side.
Li Zhirui sped along, not knowing how much time had passed, and even his internal magical power was mostly exhausted, before stopping only after confirming that they were already extremely far apart.
"call!"
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, a look of lingering fear on his face, and he murmured, "I really shouldn't have had those bad thoughts."
If it weren't for his spatial ability, he would have perished by now!
However, once Li Zhirui recovered, thinking about how he had personally witnessed the tribulation of breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm, his face couldn't help but show excitement and exhilaration.
You should know that this is a rare opportunity!
Especially in a place like the void, where living beings are extremely rare, the probability of encountering a being who has broken through to the Golden Immortal realm is probably close to zero.
During the observation of the lightning tribulation, Li Zhirui still gained some insights, such as learning about the power of the lightning tribulation. Although the power of the lightning tribulation varies from person to person due to their own circumstances, the difference is generally not too great.
This allows him to make ample preparations before undergoing the tribulation, slightly increasing his chances of breaking through.
In addition, during the bombardment of the tribulation lightning, some laws were leaked. Although the purification law, which is relatively rare, was not present, the water and wood laws, which are very common, were still present.
So, in the time that followed, Li Zhirui spent his time either recovering his magical power or studying the laws of magic.
……
A thousand years can pass in the blink of an eye.
Li Zhirui slowly opened his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips, indicating that he was in a very good mood.
This period of seclusion and cultivation allowed him to advance his cultivation level slightly!
Although the progress has been small, at his current level, any improvement is something to be happy about.
But the next moment, Li Zhirui frowned, because he suddenly thought of something.
"But speaking of which, why have chaotic beasts suddenly become so rare and scarce?"
Since that great battle, he has not encountered any ferocious beasts other than the one that was trying to break through to the Golden Immortal realm for one or two thousand years!
Even if ferocious beasts aren't particularly common, they shouldn't be this rare!
Faced with this situation, Li Zhirui couldn't help but have a bad feeling: that there might be some unknown danger brewing in the void, causing many ferocious beasts to perish and die.
"What exactly happened?"
However, compared to curiosity, he was more concerned about his own safety, worried that he might unknowingly fall into traps and dangers.
But he had no idea what the situation was, and he didn't know where to start to take precautions. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly, secretly increase his vigilance, and become more careful and cautious in his actions.
It's not a good thing for Li Zhirui to hide in space for refuge just because of the hidden dangers.
Besides, how would he know when the danger would pass after he hides? He can't just hide forever! Otherwise, he wouldn't need to train.
Therefore, given the current situation, he can only take it one step at a time. If he encounters a danger he cannot withstand, it will not be too late to hide in the space.
With this in mind, Li Zhirui took action once again.
If emptiness is inherently lonely, then now it can be described as deathly still!
For the rest of the time, he saw no living beings, only the eternally unchanging chaotic spiritual energy that filled the void with a dull, monotonous gray.
"Could it be that this disaster has swept through the entire Xuanxian level void?" Li Zhirui's expression became extremely solemn, and he couldn't help but feel worried.
If that's the case, then things become very troublesome and tricky!
Because it's very likely that he'll be dragged into it too, and how will he deal with that then?
At first, he thought that only his area had encountered a special situation, but in the following hundreds of years, he didn't know how far he had gone, but he still didn't encounter any living beings. It was as if the entire void had become a desolate and deserted graveyard!
With an incredibly heavy and worried heart, Li Zhirui continued to speed forward.
Rumble!
Suddenly, a faint explosion was heard in the distance.
Li Zhirui's eyes lit up immediately. Any movement was better than the previous silence, no matter what caused it.
However, he did not rush forward hastily. Instead, he concealed himself and flew away quickly while ensuring his own safety.
Before long, he saw the source of the sound.
A total of twenty or thirty Xuanxian ferocious beasts engaged in a chaotic battle, fighting and killing each other.
'This is……'
Li Zhirui was curious about how they had gathered together and why a great battle had broken out.
He quickly discovered the reason.
In the center of the ferocious beasts, there was a spiritual plant emitting a special fragrance, and it is very likely that all of this was caused by it.
But for some reason, when he saw that spiritual plant, a strong urge to kill suddenly surged in his heart, and he wished he could join the battle immediately.
'wrong!'
A burst of brilliant white light suddenly erupted from Li Zhirui's soul, and the purifying white lotus sitting upright responded accordingly, instantly dispelling the strange impulse.
'This magical plant is strange!'
His vigilance immediately rose to its highest level, and just in case, he began to cast the purification spell to prevent himself from falling into the bewitching spell again.
But what he didn't know was that after he got rid of that strange influence, the 'spiritual object' that had been snatched by the ferocious beasts suddenly trembled.
'A creature has appeared nearby, but why isn't it affected by the bloodlust? Could it be that it can break free from my bewitching influence?!'
Its first reaction to such a change that has exceeded its control is to resolve it, otherwise it may very well ruin its plans.
The problem now is that it can't find the location of that creature!
Moreover, it needs to maintain this state, otherwise those ferocious beasts might break free from its control and stop killing each other.
If there were any intelligent beasts among them, they would probably realize immediately that it was this creature causing trouble. So even though it was very anxious, there was nothing it could do but intensify the catalyst, making the battle between those beasts even more brutal in order to end the fight as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, Li Zhirui, who was in the distance, became even more certain of his earlier guess!
The reason these ferocious beasts gathered together and then fought each other was all because of that magical object.
'This doesn't look like a spirit; it looks more like a living being!'
If it were a spirit, it wouldn't be able to consciously control the battles between ferocious beasts.
So, it became aware of his presence, which is why it wanted to end the battle as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications.
As for why it attracted so many ferocious beasts, Li Zhirui could guess the reason. It simply wanted them all to become resources for its cultivation and stepping stones to a higher realm!
He considered for a moment and did not choose to make a move at that time, but instead waited quietly for the best opportunity to act.
Rumbling--
The chaotic battle between a dozen or twenty Xuanxian ferocious beasts created a tremendous impact, especially when they were reckless and their condition was truly terrifying.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Zhirui deliberately revealed some clues and pretended that he had already left.
But in reality, in order to avoid being detected by the other party through special means, he hid in the space.
'That person left?'
The strange spirit remained skeptical, so it used its methods to bewitch the surrounding creatures and investigate whether there were any other beings. After confirming this repeatedly, it finally believed that the other party had truly left and breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, that unknown creature possessed a crucial ability to neutralize its power, effectively halving its strength.
If the other party suddenly appears at the last minute, wouldn't all their hard work and scheming have been for nothing?
This investigation made the ferocious beasts even more excited and frenzied.
Soon, casualties began to occur among the ferocious beasts.
This seemed to be just the beginning; in the next half hour, several ferocious beasts met a tragic end!
In the end, only two wounded beasts remained, but even so, they continued to fight to determine the final victor.
With a loud thud, the ferocious beast crashed heavily to the ground.
Before the only surviving beast could even rejoice at obtaining the spiritual object, a dark red barb suddenly appeared from behind it and pierced its skull.
The spirit plant ceased its disguise and transformed into a chaotic, ferocious beast resembling an octopus, though its entire body was dark red and its size was only a few feet.
But in the next instant, it stretched out all its tentacles and wrapped them around the corpses. They looked very slender, but it pulled the huge corpses to its front with great ease.
Then its body suddenly swelled up a hundredfold, as if it had opened its blood-red maw, ready to swallow all the ferocious beast corpses.
Li Zhirui, who was hiding in the space, suddenly had a bright idea in his eyes, because this was the time when he was at his weakest!
Now is the best time to take action.
His attack was a full-force strike, unleashing towering waves and endless vines simultaneously, hurtling towards the ferocious beast.
But it never expected that something would suddenly appear in the void where it had repeatedly confirmed there were no other living beings.
Faced with such a powerful attack, it had no choice but to give up devouring the corpses and use its supernatural powers to defend itself.
With a bang, it was sent flying by the immense force.
Damn it!
The beast's face turned ugly; its worst fears had come true.
This person not only breaks free from its control and remains completely unaffected, but also possesses such formidable strength.
"Ok?"
Li Zhirui was quite surprised, because the opponent's cultivation level was one level higher than his, yet his strength was so weak? He couldn't withstand his attacks at all.
That's right!
Don't underestimate this chaotic beast; it has already caused the deaths of hundreds of other chaotic beasts, and its methods are truly remarkable, even more terrifying to behold.
However, its actual strength is extremely poor and weak.
At the same time, its cultivation level is more difficult to improve than that of ordinary ferocious beasts.
These flaws and weaknesses can be seen as a kind of balance.
After all, if it still has these advantages, then there will be no space for other living beings to survive in the void, and they will all become its food.
But then, a strong motivation surged in Li Zhirui's heart: could he kill this ferocious beast?
Thinking of this, he immediately changed his supernatural powers, no longer thinking about how to drive away or stop the other party so that he could get those ferocious beast corpses.
Instead, they considered how to leave it behind and make it one of the beast's corpses!
Without the slightest hesitation or heartache, Li Zhirui scattered all the accumulated Chaos Star Vine Spirit Seeds, and then cast a spell to create a huge cage, trapping the ferocious beast inside.
Damn it!
What else didn't the ferocious beast understand? Its face instantly turned grim, and it began to consider its escape route.
The other party intends to spare its life as well.
Unfortunately, its opponent was stronger than it, making it quite difficult to deal with.
If it doesn't find a way to escape this cage, then this is its final resting place.
Is there a way for it to escape? Yes!
However, it will absolutely not be used unless it is an extremely urgent situation, because it would come at a huge cost.
Given its own precarious situation, it must act regardless of the cost, because it has no other choice.
It emitted a pinkish aura, its body slowly becoming transparent, and then it passed directly through the cage, escaping its confinement.
Just as Li Zhirui was about to continue his attack, he frowned upon seeing this scene. The opponent actually had such methods? Indeed, no chaotic beast should be underestimated.
"Twenty-eight corpses of chaotic beasts! I'll remember this debt! I'll repay you handsomely in the future!"
The ferocious beast gritted its teeth and left behind a harsh remark before fleeing the area at top speed, fearing that it would be in danger if it were even a little slower.
In the brief moment he was momentarily stunned, it had already traveled a great distance and disappeared into the void and chaos in the next instant.
“I really didn’t expect that!”
Li Zhirui never imagined that one day he would be able to defeat a ferocious beast at the late stage of the Profound Immortal realm, causing it to flee in terror. (End of Chapter)
