Chapter 545 - 544: Strange Evil, Void Space Creature

~20 min read 3,931 words

A shrill scream, seemingly imbued with an odd demonic power.

Not to mention it causes the space to tremble, it also induces a sense of drowsiness in people.

Of course.

This has no effect whatsoever in front of Li Jing and the others.

After all, everyone present was an Emperor with a domain.

The only thing worth mentioning is.

Just by hearing the shrill scream, everyone felt a chill down their spine, and even had goosebumps all over their bodies.

"My goodness! What kind of creature made that sound? It seems to be quite powerful!"

Jin Ritian exclaimed as he rubbed the goosebumps on the back of his hand and with a gleam in his eyes, pulled out his big daoist cleaver and entered Li Jing’s domain.

Blue Phoenix followed closely behind, with a look of vigilance in her beautiful eyes.

As for Daoist items.

Blue Phoenix didn’t have any.

Divine Beast.

Naturally, they belong to the Beast Cultivation and don’t have the ability to wield and nurture artifacts.

The fact that Jin Ritian has a daoist artifact is really just for show.

It’s not something he nurtured himself, and he doesn’t have a clear connection with the artifact.

Carrying it in his hand.

He merely relies on his unparalleled physical strength as a divine beast, using the sharpness of the daoist artifact to cut things down.

Just as agreed upon beforehand.

Zixuan did not participate, she stayed back with Ling Ling and Xiaocai, pulling out her most handy daoist long whip to keep guard.

At the front of the formation.

After one attack, Li Jing undid his Unity of Man and Sword and revealed his true form.

Ahead.

Following the splitting of the scorched land, a strange plant the size of a several-story building was revealed in the center of the land as it split into countless small pieces floating in the void.

Upon seeing this, Li Jing and the others all turned their gaze over.

That massive plant.

Originally buried deep in the center of the scorched land.

Now appearing.

The surface looked like a root vegetable.

From a distance, it looked like a very large radish.

Upon closer inspection.

The "radish" was extremely twisted from top to bottom.

Rather than saying it was a root vegetable that grew underground, it seemed to be composed of many thick intertwined and twisted roots, similar to a shape formed by intertwining vines.

Not only that.

The "radish" was covered all over with roots that looked like tentacles, each one a meter in diameter at the cross-section.

These roots anchored themselves onto the pieces of land that had scattered, spreading indefinitely in the void as the land pieces drifted away.

Furthermore, the pieces of land where the roots were rooted were exceptionally sturdy.

Even the piece of land at the center of Li Jing’s strike still maintained a relatively complete size, and did not shatter directly.

Upon seeing this scene.

Jin Ritian furrowed his brows.

"This little thing does seem quite unique, but to say it’s a top-tier evil creature? It doesn’t quite..."

Before he could finish his sentence, eerie screeches came from all around, which not only startled Li Jing and the others but also caused the mutated creatures nearby to take flight and scatter.

Many of those without enough strength, were also desperately trying to escape the land.

Without a doubt.

All of them were swallowed up by the void.

The void.

It’s not something you can stay in just like that.

Unless one’s strength is sufficient to allow them to stay on the surface of the void without being swallowed up, the only fate for anyone who enters the void is to be swallowed up and permanently lost.

Upon seeing this, Jin Ritian quietly retracted the words he had just pronounced, changing his statement.

"It seems that the mutated creatures on this piece of land are quite fearful of this thing."

"Most of the mutated creatures in the Ancient Fairyland are native variants of a single piece of Shattered Continent, and most do not have the ability to migrate through the void."

Li Jing spoke, looking towards the nearby lands where more and more monsters were taking flight to escape.

"They are trying to get away from this thing with all their might, so it seems likely they’ve experienced its power before."

Jin Ritian frowned upon hearing this.

"Li Jing, are you suggesting... this thing doesn’t just stay on this scorched land?"

Before he could finish his sentence, Blue Phoenix spoke.

"No, the key is probably in its roots."

With that, she continued.

"Elder Jin, you should have noticed that the roots of this thing can extend indefinitely, and it can exist in the void without being swallowed up."

"Not only that, the screeching just now came from all around, the organ that emitted the sound should be at the end of the roots, hidden in the land fragments where it has taken root. Its screeching has the function of disturbing consciousness, and it’s most likely a method it uses to hunt."

"While this thing grows in the infertile scorched land, it can apparently freely go to nearby lands to feed on living beings."

After naming three things, Blue Phoenix added.

"Be wary of its roots. This thing’s roots might not only have sound-emitting organs, it might also have the ability to directly consume and kill."

Jin Ritian nodded upon hearing this.

On the other hand, Li Jing’s brows were tightly furrowed, and without saying a word, he activated his Eye of True Vision.

Upon seeing this, Blue Phoenix asked curiously.

"Can you see anything?"

Jin Ritian also turned to look.

The ability of Li Jing to see the essence of things wasn’t clearly mentioned by Blue Phoenix and the others.

But with him repeatedly seeing things that others couldn’t understand, even recognizing the origin and functions of the Eternal Elixir on the spot, they were already somewhat aware.

Responding to the inquiry, Li Jing didn’t beat around the bush, speaking softly.

"This thing, is a creature of the void."

?

Jin Ritian.

?

Blue Phoenix.

The endless void, is literally an empty hole.

From ancient times to the present.

No one has ever returned after falling into the void, and no one has ever seen a living creature in the void.

Li Jing’s statement exceeded the comprehension of both Jin Ritian and Blue Phoenix.

It is clear that the creature in front of them is a type of plant-like evil creature, so where did the notion of it being a creature come from?

Just as the two were puzzled, Li Jing spoke again.

"What we’re currently looking at isn’t its true form, to be accurate, this isn’t even a part of its true form."

?

Three question marks flew out one after another from Blue Phoenix and Jin Ritian.

Not its true form, not even a part of its true form!?

Then what is this huge mass in front of them?

Facing their doubtful gazes, Li Jing didn’t answer, his eyes half-closed, focused on the entire root and stem structure.

Ever since the root and stem structure was revealed, he didn’t see any health bar or Essence Source.

He initially thought that it was because it was a plant rather than a living thing, so it didn’t have a health bar.

But now, looking through the Eye of True Vision.

The feedback he got was.

The whole twisted and massive root was a clone of a void creature.

What we call clone creatures.

Are simply something similar to proliferation of cells, which divide and grow.

And then the big mass in front of them, doesn’t even belong to the evil entity itself.

If it did.

The Eye of True Vision would not give Li Jing such a vague feedback, at least it would be clear on exactly what species it is.

At present, there are no evil entities or their symbiotics can be seen.

Slightly squinting his eyes, Li Jing spoke,

"If nothing goes wrong, the evil entity and its symbiotic are actually hidden somewhere inside this root."

Saying this, he continued,

"This thing is quite ominous, don’t hold back, let’s destroy this root together."

As he spoke, Li Jing threw out Flying Sword Blue Edge.

"clang."

With a crisp sword sound, the Flying Sword Blue Edge darted into the sky.

At the same time,

The Primordial Spirit Method in Li Jing’s Law Heaven and Earth has also made a sword-throwing action.

Immediately,

The ascending Flying Sword Blue Edge suddenly magnified hundreds of times, turning into a giant sword of tens of thousands of meters, then shook horizontally.

Swipe, swipe, swipe.

In an instant,

Hundreds of thousands of giant sword images appeared in the Little Universe, hanging upside down in the air.

Li Jing made a move after his words;

Blue Phoenix and Jin Ritian also did not hesitate.

Blue Phoenix changed its body into a large beast, the body was flying high.

Jin Ritian revealed his true form of the golden crow and flew into the sky.

The two divine beasts revealed their true forms, with both spreading their wings.

A huge amount of Phoenix Heavenly Fire and Demon Sun Fire erupted from their wings, rushing towards the evil’s root with a momentum capable of destroying the world.

At this moment, Li Jing also waved his hand.

"Slash."

With an order,

The hundreds of thousands of sword images hanging upside down in Law Heaven and Earth chopped together, targeting the roots of the evil entity.

The attacks from the three were inevitable,

Sharp shrieks echoed from all directions, the sprawling roots of the evil entity seemed to sense danger, they coiled together, dragging countless pieces of charred land, and instantly shielded the evil entity’s main body, forming a defense.

"Boom!"

A huge bang,

The attacks from Li Jing and the others hit their target.

The heavenly fire and demon fire raged, dragging back the charred earth and revealing the roots beneath.

However, the constitution of these roots was unknown.

The heavenly fire and demon fire only lingered on its surface.

Such fire resistance surprised Blue Phoenix and Jin Ritian.

Both the Phoenix Heavenly Fire and the Demon Sun Fire have the attribute to burn everything.

There should be nothing that this could not burn.

Once ignited, the result would be out of control.

Blue Phoenix and Jin Ritian had seen things their fire could not kill.

Neither the Phoenix Heavenly Fire nor the great Demon Sun Fire is omnipotent.

Not all people, things, and matters in the fairyland are fragile, those who can withstand the burning of heavenly fire and demon fire are not rare.

However, they had never seen things that could not be ignited.

Especially in front of them,

Appearing as a plant, if that wasn’t enough, the two had almost exhausted their power.

Both of them are of Emperor Level.

Even if they couldn’t kill it, at least they should be able to ignite it,

This thing...

It’s simply too strange!

As the two were still surprised, Li Jing’s hundreds of thousands of sword images arrived.

"BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!"

One after anotherimages of horrifying giant swords fell, accurately hitting the main body of the root, it was like a nuclear bomb detonated.

At this level of attack, both Blue Phoenix and Jin Ritian were horrified.

Li Jing’s approach, if they were to resist it with their strength, they were sure they could resist it

But the fact that the root’s main body had no damage at all,

Seeing this, both understood

The defense formed by the shattered continents brought back by the roots seemed to be just incidental, the real protection was the root itself.

This showed that the evil entity and its symbionts were hiding inside the main body of the root.

And the primordial evil entities were conscious, knowing how to protect themselves and control the roots.

The main body of the root in front of them was formed by entwining and twisting countless roots together.

If you talk about defense power, it’s much stronger than the roots that spread out alone.

They deliberately withdrew all the roots, nothing more than hoping for a little more guarantee, and not wanting to see the main body of the root broken.

Under the beast body, they glanced at each other.

Blue Phoenix made a Phoenix Cry, fluttered its wings gently, bringing countless Phoenix Heavenly Fire straight towards the root.

Jin Ritian also let out a long and high-pitched roar, accompanied by a rolling demon fire chasing him closely.

Seeing the two of them straightforwardly choosing to charge and break out of their own Law Heaven and Earth, Li Jing whispered.

"Thunder Punishment, fully unleashed."

"Boom!"

An overwhelming Power of Thunder Punishment burst from his body.

Following that.

The Primordial Spirit Method behind him also emitted a mighty Thunder Punishment, transforming into a manifestation of a Thunder Law King, even his eyes were spouting Thunder Punishment.

"Full domain activation."

Another low-voiced command.

With a "swish", Li Jing, who has released all his inner power, suddenly extended his domain that was initially only revealing a small portion, and it expanded limitlessly.

Ensuring that both the Blue Phoenix and Jin Ritian were within his domain, he instantly swallowed the entire root body.

Upon seeing this, Shi Zixuan behind was shocked, her mouth left hanging open.

The range of Li Jing’s domain was simply too vast!

Wasn’t it just recent that he gained the ability to render a domain?

She could achieve the same scope with her own domain.

But when she first became an emperor, she might not even have been able to reach half of what is seen here.

Hence it was evident.

At present, Li Jing was not only several times stronger than when she first became an emperor, but his Little Universe was also larger than the independent worlds of ordinary emperors, and its stability was far superior.

Ignoring Shi Zixuan behind.

Li Jing, who swallowed the entire root body with his domain, raised his eyebrows slightly.

From the beginning.

He had no expectations of crushing it by incorporating the root body into his domain.

If things were really that easy.

Why would this thing make Xiaocai so afraid, not daring to approach it on her own?

By swallowing it into his domain, Li Jing mainly wanted to confirm one thing.

The root body seemed to have entered his domain at the moment.

However, it had only entered on the surface, and its essence was still detached.

Does the evil entity hidden within the root body possess its own independent world?

No.

At the moment, according to Li Jing’s perception.

There was an invisible layer of void covering the surface of the root and its root hairs, which isolated it from the outside world and absorbed all external forces into the void.

Because of this.

The offensive maneuvers of Li Jing and the other two just now didn’t damage the root body at all.

This thing...

Is a bit cunning!

Without a moment to marvel, Li Jing commanded with a thought, and the Blue Phoenix and Jin Ritian, who were about to pounce upon it, were momentarily suspended in the air. They were instantly teleported to his side.

?

Blue Phoenix.

?

Jin Ritian.

Both of them turned their heads simultaneously.

Both of them were people who possessed independent worlds.

At present, the two very tacitly did not activate their own domains but were inside Li Jing’s domain.

The two chose to do so, not for anything else.

It was precisely for the sake of having Li Jing’s domain for support whenever they needed while they were going headstrong.

Both of them were Divine Beasts.

Most of their tactics were based on full-frontal confrontation.

Charging in with one’s domain would not leave any room for maneuvers.

Once the domain is activated.

The person will always be at the center and cannot move sideways.

In another’s domain, however, they can easily change their position.

Now that Li Jing had pulled the two back, it was clear that he had discovered something.

Meeting the gaze of the two, Li Jing whispered.

"The intrinsic evil entity within the root body is highly intelligent. Its action of using the root hairs to protect the root body is a false image; the surface of the root body and the root hairs spreading out are covered with a layer of void. Both of you have the ability to dwell on the outer layer of the void, but if caught by these root hairs, you will inevitably be forcibly sent into the void."

Hearing this from him, both Blue Phoenix and Jin Ritian were taken aback.

This thing, its surface was covered with a layer of void?

As mentioned earlier.

People like Li Jing who can stay in the void are because they have the ability to stay on the surface of the void.

Not because they have the ability to go into the void.

The inside of the void.

Is another dimension.

To explain using the knowledge of Blue Star, the void itself is an infinitely profound black hole.

It might not seem like much on the surface.

Inside, however, it is infinitely profound and can easily make one lose their way.

The fact that this thing’s root hairs are covered with a layer of void.

Should one get entangled with it, it would be equivalent to pressing the entrance of the void on your face, making it difficult not to fall into it.

"Damn it! Thank goodness I planned in advance, or else I’d have been screwed!"

Jin Ritian voiced his feelings of a close shave, transforming into his human form, and asked.

"What should we do now?"

"This will be difficult."

Blue Phoenix began to speak, revealing her human form and saying.

"This thing has a layer of void on its surface. Our means can’t obviously affect it based on domain power, and we can’t touch its entity."

Before she had even finished speaking, Li Jing smiled.

"Have you forgotten? I control the rules of space."

Blue Phoenix was slightly stunned, saying doubtfully.

"The void indeed can be affected by the rules of space to a certain degree, but to change the void or even make it disappear with just the manipulation of the rules, I’m afraid..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Li Jing beckoned.

"Linglong."

"Swish!"

A ray of golden light flew across the sky, landing in his palm, showing the body of the Linglong Tower.

"What about with her?"

Upon hearing these words, Blue Phoenix stayed silent, then frowned.

"Is this... a half-step Taoist artifact?"

"Correct, but she also controls the rules of space."

Li Jing smiled.

"It might not be enough."

Jin Ritian arched his eyebrow and spoke.

"But, if we combine the spatial rule effects of both human control and artifact control, coupled with the power of the domain, it might cause the void to annihilate momentarily"

"Let’s try."

Li Jing said, and tossed out the Linglong Tower.

The primordial spirit method behind him took over, lifting the tower up with a raised hand.

Next.

The Linglong Tower expanded to tens of thousands of feet, emitting an infinite golden light.

At the same time, an even larger phantom appeared behind Li Jing’s primordial spirit method.

It was Xiaocai, dressed in a white, lacey nurse’s uniform.

Xiaocai is the will of heaven in the Little Universe, which was evident to the eyes of the Blue Phoenix and others.

But seeing her outfit.

Blue Phoenix, Jin Ritian, and Shi Zixuan, who was in the back, couldn’t hold back their surprise.

What...

What kind of clothes are those?

They’re vulgar!

Damn...

And they’re worn by the will of heaven!?

Even though the will of heaven of an independent world cannot be compared to the Big World, or even a Mini World, it’s still the will of heaven!

Did Li Jing request this!?

Blue Phoenix gave a sideways glance.

Zixuan in the rear was also giving him a hard look.

Jin Ritian was taking a fierce look at Xiaocai.

These clothes are indeed quite vulgar.

But from a male perspective...

Oh my!

Xiaocai has always been quite dramatic.

Upon her appearance,

which was originally just a formality to channel the world power of the Little Universe to the Linglong tower, abruptly became the focus of the Blue Phoenix and others, which made her unable to resist.

She was seen transforming, her nurse’s outfit morphing into a black, silk nun’s costume of a very dubious nature.

With her unseemly dress, Xiaocai assumed the pious pose of a Saintess in western faith, posing with her fists crossed at her chest and her head bowed in prayer.

"God said, let there be light."

With that,

A column of light descended from the heavens, converging on the Linglong Tower.

Then the spirit weapon Linglong, which has not shown up previously, emerged on top of the tower, with one fist raised high, and the other close to her body, her head slightly tilted.

???

The spirit weapon Linglong, appearing as some giant figure of light with a head full of question marks, maintained an "I don’t know who I am." expression.

She did not intend to come out.

The movements.

They weren’t hers either.

It was all Xiaocai’s shenanigans.

Li Jing, seeing this situation, had his mouth twitching uncontrollably.

Xiaocai...

Seems to need some disciplining!

Just causing trouble as soon as she appears.

It’s bad enough there are so many elements.

We’re in the middle of a fight right now!

Can’t you be more serious!?

In the Little Universe, Xiaocai, as the will of heaven, and Li Jing, as the creator, shared one mind to a certain degree, allowing her to sense his feelings.

Noticing her master starting to "accumulate fury", ready to unleash seven wolves, she quickly dissipated.

With her gone,

Li Jing had no choice.

Right now, he didn’t have the leisure to teach this little rascal.

With a heavy sigh, Li Jing waved his hand.

Following that,

The phantom of his primordial spirit method behind him too waved his hand, tossing out the Linglong tower that was held in his hand.

"Boom!"

With a loud noise,

The moment the Linglong Tower left his hand, it tore through the space.

With the power of the domain present in the spatial rules controlled by Li Jing and the tower itself, it forcibly separated from the Little Universe and hit the main body of the evil object in an instant.

"Buzz!"

With a sound of extreme oppression, the space, along with the void that was the surface of the main body, annihilated together.

The Blue Phoenix saw this and her eyes flashed with a gleam.

"Elder Jin, let’s go!"

Just as she spoke, she moved herself, charging towards the enemy.

Jin Ritian was still savouring Xiaocai’s outrageous outfits, considering customizing a similar set for his harem when he returned.

Upon hearing Blue Phoenix’s voice, he instinctively responded with a puzzled "Huh?"

Seeing that she had already rushed forward, he hurried to catch up.

Li Jing sneered upon seeing this.

"Pah, men."

From the back.

Unaware of the meaning of the particular gesture, Shi Zixuan couldn’t help but raise her middle finger.

Noticing the gesture from the corner of his eye, Li Jing coughed slightly and gestured for the unnamed Taoist artifact, holding it in his hand as he darted forward.

Xiaocai’s choice of clothing

Was indeed her personal preference.

But actually,

It was initially influenced by Li Jing’s love for movies.
