Chapter 1124: Astral Ambusher (First update, requesting everything)

After all matters were concluded, Li Zhangsheng did not immediately head to the Dawn World, but instead rode Aixi to break through the Nine Heavens, appearing at the edge of the Astral Realm.

After obtaining a Star Core, as long as he could also collect a Star Beast Heart, he could promote the Nine-Rank Star Palace Lotus Platform to the tenth rank; at that time, it would be another Purple Mansion Rare Treasure, and a Purple Mansion Rare Treasure and Strange Treasure specialized in defense.

With the Ten-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform in hand, Li Zhangsheng's personal safety could be further guaranteed.

Although the Astral Realm is fraught with crises, Li Zhangsheng only intended to wander in the outer regions.

With his current strength, it is difficult to encounter danger in the outer regions.

The area of the Astral Realm can be described as boundless; besides powerful individual creatures like god-spawn and star beasts, there are also some special races remaining in the world, whose attack methods are often based primarily on Psionic Energy.

Psionic Energy is a type of supernatural ability similar to spells; similar to arcane energy, psionic energy also has classifications like spell schools, which are called energy systems. Li Zhangsheng's Emerald Dragon can cast psionic energy.

It must be said that most places in the Astral Realm do not restrict a creature's abilities, so the Xuan Kun Creation Stele does not have much use there.

In the process of wandering the outer Astral Realm, one can see some meteorites or even islands from time to time.

Meteorites go without saying; some meteorites contain precious minerals.

As for these islands, besides planes born naturally, they are also interspersed with the corpses of gods.

Once a god falls, their divine corpse will be dragged into the Astral Realm, forming floating islands, and there still exists the possibility of rebirth, provided there are enough believers actively planning for them, as well as a large amount of Faith Power.

Generally speaking, if a god falls, most believers will often convert to other gods within a short period, directly resulting in a very low possibility of the god's rebirth.

Additionally, if an island formed from a divine corpse suffers destructive damage, this god will never have the possibility of rebirth again.

It must be mentioned here that islands formed from divine corpses still hold an attraction for many creatures; even without a Godhead, there will always be some residual divine blood, which is also one of the main materials for crafting Divine Artifacts.

Therefore, many Stronger flock to this, making the number of islands formed from divine corpses extremely rare, and they are almost impossible to encounter in the outer regions.

Li Zhangsheng wandered the outer Astral Realm for three days, but other than meteorites, he encountered nothing, and even ran into a Space Storm that swept across a hundred miles, though he escaped it in advance.

Since coming to the Astral Realm, every day Li Zhangsheng would have those few cats join forces to cast Predict Good or Ill Fortune, and he would also use the combination of the Heavenly Secret Stone and the Baxia Turtle Shell to perform divination, avoiding risks as much as possible.

Once there is danger, he will return at the first opportunity.

It was also on this day that Li Zhangsheng finally encountered the first creature.

No, it should be said, a group.

This was a group of humanoid creatures with thick, dark green skin, about nearly three meters tall, looking quite strong, with a pair of sharp claws; their demon-like faces were impressive due to their resemblance to skulls with protruding jaws, looking quite ferocious.

Astral Ambusher!

Li Zhangsheng recognized them immediately; Astral Ambushers belong to the indigenous people of the Astral Realm and like to wander the multiverse, looking for prey. They live for the thrill of the hunt and measure their individual value and status in their society by the number and strength of the creatures they successfully hunt.

Additionally, these excellent hunters prefer to ambush intelligent creatures, hunting such creatures for fun to gain pleasure; it can be said that this is an extremely evil race.

However, Astral Ambushers have always adhered to a few hunting principles.

Once prey intentionally avoids an Astral Ambusher, he will never hunt this creature again; if hired to hunt a certain creature, the ambusher will not hunt their employer for at least 1 year; they never hunt fellow Astral Ambushers.

Therefore, from the perspective of alignment, Astral Ambushers belong to lawful evil.

At this moment, this group of Astral Ambushers was still hiding in the dark, calmly waiting for Li Zhangsheng's arrival.

What they did not know was that since they entered the range of Li Zhangsheng's projected Mental Power, their tracks had already been exposed.

In the blink of an eye, Li Zhangsheng roughly judged the strength of this group of Astral Ambushers.

Due to the different world systems, Li Zhangsheng could only judge by their aura.

This group of Astral Ambushers had decent strength, all reaching the level of Elite spirit beasts, and the strongest was a guy over three meters tall, possessing strength comparable to a Lord-level spirit beast.

Yet in Li Zhangsheng's eyes, what difference was there between them and mere rabble?

Li Zhangsheng pretended not to have discovered them and charged straight up.

The next moment, the two closest Astral Ambushers simultaneously swung their sharp claws, ambushing Li Zhangsheng from the left and right.

Li Zhangsheng stretched out his hands and grabbed their sharp claws; no matter how hard the Astral Ambushers tried, they could not break free. Their strength, which they were so proud of, was nothing in front of Li Zhangsheng, just like ants shaking a tree.

Boom—

Li Zhangsheng exerted a little force with both hands, and the two Astral Ambushers involuntarily collided with each other, collapsing limply and floating in the starry sky.

At this time, the sound of breaking air rang out continuously, and the remaining few Astral Ambushers rushed over from all directions.

Boom— Boom— Boom— Boom—

Dull sounds rang out continuously; Li Zhangsheng was like entering an uninhabited realm, and every strike could easily knock down an Astral Ambusher.

Even the leader of the Astral Ambushers was not a match for him in a single exchange and was easily subdued by Li Zhangsheng.

In just two or three breaths of time, this group of Astral Ambushers had all fallen before Li Zhangsheng.

Li Zhangsheng did not slaughter them wantonly because he still had some questions to ask the Astral Ambushers; as indigenous people of the Astral Realm who like to wander the multiverse as killers, Astral Ambushers are more than just familiar with the Astral Realm.

If he wants to find a star beast quickly, he has to rely on this group of Astral Ambushers; otherwise, if he just keeps looking blindly like this, he doesn't know how much time he would waste.

Astral Ambushers can speak the Main Material Plane Common Tongue and the Abyssal Tongue. Because he possesses the memories of the Hundred-Victory King, Li Zhangsheng knows the languages of dozens of worlds, and these two languages are naturally among them, so communication is not a problem at all.

Li Zhangsheng came to the leader of the Astral Ambushers, looked down at the other party, and said: "If you want to live, you had better answer my questions. Do you understand?"

Although he could also obtain information through soul-searching, he would only get memory fragments, there would always be omissions, and it would take quite a bit of time to sort them out.

"You ask, and whatever we know, we will certainly not leave out."

The leader of the Astral Ambushers stood up tremblingly, his gaze toward Li Zhangsheng filled with awe.

Like other creatures, Astral Ambushers worship the Stronger; Li Zhangsheng defeating them so easily made them feel deeply awestruck.

"The first question, are there any star beasts nearby?"

While speaking, Li Zhangsheng silently operated his technique, sensing the changes in the expression of the Astral Ambusher leader.
