Chapter 1125: Divine Spawn (Second update, requesting everything)

The leader of the Astral Ambushers exchanged a few words with his subordinates before saying, "In the past year, we have encountered a total of three star beasts. The most recent one was discovered half a year ago, about two or three thousand miles away from here, though I do not know if it is still there."

Besides this, the leader of the Astral Ambushers also handed over the coordinates of two other locations where star beasts had been discovered to Li Zhangsheng.

"Accompany me on a trip."

Without giving the leader of the Astral Ambushers a chance to negotiate, Li Zhangsheng grabbed the Astral Ambusher and threw it into the Dragon Lair within the Secret Realm, leaving it to be guarded by the dragons for the time being.

The leader of the Astral Ambushers only felt the world spinning, and then the scene changed. When he realized his situation, he was clearly startled, as nearly a hundred dragons were currently staring at him.

Suddenly, a white dragon fifty or sixty meters long rushed over.

The Demon King-tier white dragon Ruixifeierzi had golden light in his eyes and grabbed the leader of the Astral Ambushers one step ahead of the Demon King-tier silver dragon.

"Hand over the treasures on your person!"

"I'll hand them over, I'll hand them over!"

Feeling the waves of Dragon Might, the leader of the Astral Ambushers was trembling all over, not daring to defy Ruixifeierzi's suggestion.

Setting aside the plight of the leader of the Astral Ambushers, with the help of Aixi, Li Zhangsheng arrived at the coordinates provided by the leader of the Astral Ambushers in just over a quarter of an hour.

He did not see the star beast; after all, star beasts belong to the category of living creatures and are in a state of movement most of the time.

Half a year later, who knew where it had run off to? Li Zhangsheng could only pray that this star beast had not run too far.

In the time that followed, Li Zhangsheng used the coordinates as a center and quickly explored the surrounding area.

Soon, three days passed, and Li Zhangsheng explored the low-tier area for thousands of miles around, but unfortunately, he gained nothing!

If he continued like this, the range would become too large, and the key was that a star beast would not stay in one place.

Under these circumstances, Li Zhangsheng temporarily chose to give up; after all, he did not have only one choice, and it was merely a matter of distance.

Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng steered toward the second set of coordinates ten thousand miles away.

According to the leader of the Astral Ambushers, this star beast was discovered three months ago and was also the most recently discovered one, so logically, the probability was the highest.

Spending a day, Li Zhangsheng crossed ten thousand miles of the Astral Realm, and seeing that he was about to approach the second set of coordinates.

This place was still on the outskirts of the Astral Realm, but it was significantly closer to the core area. Just as he was about to reach the coordinates, Li Zhangsheng's mind suddenly stirred.

He did not discover the trace of a star beast, but he unexpectedly discovered a divine spawn.

There are three origins of divine spawns. One is born through a deity giving birth to offspring, but due to certain reasons, the soul dies prematurely while the body continues to live, subsequently being dominated by twisted hatred, eventually becoming a divine spawn.

The second type is a divine spawn created by man, generally created by deities, existing mainly as living weapons. Some of these creations are massive in size, while others are smaller. Some are extraordinary individuals possessing terrifying power, while others can form entire legions.

The third type originates from those failed or incomplete divine power experiments that have been sealed or forgotten, thereby giving birth to divine spawns.

Being divine spawns, there naturally exist differences in rank.

Generally speaking, divine spawns born from deities have the greatest strength, with a lower limit comparable to a Demigod and an upper limit comparable to a deity with mid-to-high Divine Power; the representative is the Hecatoncheires, which is the product of a certain deity's lust.

The divine spawns produced by the second and third types are often much weaker in strength, but occasionally there are existences comparable to the combat power of deities.

The types of divine spawns are countless, and they are also a terror unimaginable to mortals; their twisted and evil minds make them want to destroy everything and project their own suffering onto the multiverse on a larger scale.

The extinction of life, death, and existence itself is the goal of most divine spawns, and they can find satisfaction through Devouring, especially in devouring living things.

Therefore, whenever they discover a living creature, a divine spawn will be like a cat that has smelled something fishy and will crazily pounce on it.

Fortunately, most divine spawns are firmly sealed away by stronger existences with Divine Nature.

The one Li Zhangsheng encountered was a strangely shaped divine spawn; it had the head of a snake, the body of a lion, a hump on its back, the tail of a horse, limbs like pig trotters, and a pair of bat wings on its back, as if it were pieced together from various creatures.

When Li Zhangsheng discovered this divine spawn, the divine spawn also sensitively discovered the peeping of his Mental Power and, based on the Mental Power, quickly locked onto the direction where Li Zhangsheng was, excitedly rushing toward him.

Li Zhangsheng had no thoughts of retreating, because judging from the aura emitted by this divine spawn, it was roughly equivalent to a Demon Commander.

"Aixi, I'll leave it to you!"

Li Zhangsheng did not give commands, letting Aixi rush up to fight the divine spawn.

Compared to the divine spawn, Aixi's speed far exceeded the opponent's, but her offense and defense were slightly inferior; overall, the gap between the two was not large.

However, there was one point where Aixi had a great advantage, and that was her brain. The divine spawn was completely filled with twisted hatred, did not talk about tactics or combat methods at all, would not pay attention to the situation, and almost had no defense.

Besides not fearing life or death, the divine spawn had no other advantages in combat; once it encountered an opponent of equal strength, it was easily spun around.

The current situation was just like this: the divine spawn attacked crazily, while Aixi maintained her calm, dodging while taking the opportunity to land a strike.

Aixi's speed advantage was too great; in this aspect, she was two to three times that of the divine spawn.

The gap in speed was too large, directly resulting in the divine spawn's attacks being difficult to land. Most attacks were dodged by Aixi, and if she could not dodge, she would try her best to neutralize them through counter-attacks, at most suffering a minor injury.

The divine spawn emitted unpleasant cries from time to time, but it never achieved anything; instead, its body was covered in wounds, and its stamina was rapidly draining away.

Although this divine spawn's recovery speed was fast, it was only equivalent to a hydra with the Limb Regeneration trait, requiring a certain amount of time to recover, which was still within Aixi's ability to handle.

The whole process was completely without waves; in less than two minutes, this strangely shaped divine spawn was severely wounded and was on the verge of death.

This was only the lowest-grade divine spawn, and it could be killed without needing to perform a seal.

"Eh!"

Just at this moment, Li Zhangsheng gave a surprised cry and immediately issued an order for Aixi to withdraw.

Aixi immediately executed Li Zhangsheng's order, returning to Li Zhangsheng's side at the fastest speed.

Just as the divine spawn was preparing to rush up, a behemoth suddenly rushed up from behind, dragged the divine spawn into its mouth in one bite, chewed a few times, and swallowed it whole.
