Like the Beast of Chaos, Spatial Li is a kind of creature outside the space of the plane. Under normal circumstances, they couldn’t enter the plane. They could only enter when there is a crack in the plane or a plane storm. Besides, Spatial Li has no physical shape and has the attributes of space. Even if it invades another plane, it was usually very hard for anyone except the Manager to detect their whereabouts.
To deal with a creature like this, even an immortal would have no chance at all, not to mention these mere Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators.
“Retreat!” The leading Nascent Soul Cultivator suddenly shouted, “This is a Purple Flame Beast. Take care not to get burned by his flames.” He apparently took Spatial Li for an ordinary eleventh-grade demon beast. His hands moved to produce seals in an attempt to trap it with an array.
The other disciples also called out their weapons and waited vigilantly, looking all ready for a fight.
Lonemoon’s heart sank. Just as he was about to give them a reminder, Lu Lin suddenly sprang out, stopped in front of them and said, “Fellow Daoist Lonemoon, you guys should hurry and retreat to the back. This is an eleventh-grade demon beast. You all have just reached Foundation Establishment, and you are men besides. You won’t be able to stop its purple flames.” The eleventh grade was equivalent to an early stage Soul Formation. Though it was dangerous, with four Nascent Soul cultivators and so many Golden Core cultivators in their group, it was not entirely impossible.
With that said, she clutched the sword in her hand tighter, placed herself in front of the three and said, “Don’t act rashly, we will protect you. Don’t get too far from me in any case.” With that said, she even gave the female cultivators beside her a look, and the latter hurried to move over and deliberately placed Lonemoon and Yi Qing behind them, full of the looks of protectors.
Lonemoon: “…”
Yi Qing: “…”
Before they could explain, someone had already started the fight. The Nascent Soul cultivator leading the group directly set up a gigantic array. White light from the array descended towards the gigantic beast in the middle, and it seemed almost going to trap it inside.
“Shit! Don’t use an array…”
Before Lonemoon could finish, that demon suddenly let out a loud roar. And then it merely gently lifted a claw, and the array directly passed through it.
The leading female cultivator was shocked. Before she could react, she only felt a wave of freezing cold sweeping right towards her, like there was some immense aura rushing over, and the spiritual power in her body dissipated in an instant. Her figure was destabilized and flew right now. Lonemoon called out a wind spell and managed to catch the person in the air, but she was already unconscious.
Spatial creatures had the natural ability of moving through space. How could it possibly be trapped by an array!
In the blink of an eye, they had already lost a Nascent Soul cultivator. Those at the scene paled and immediately understood that this was no ordinary demon beast. Another Nascent Soul cultivator came to herself and hurried to say loudly, “Move! Leave here!”
Everyone was stunned, and finally went up on their swords. Lu Lin also subconsciously turned and grabbed Lonemoon. “Fellow Daoist, hurry…”
“Move!” Before she finished, Lonemoon suddenly grabbed her and threw her towards the female cultivator behind. The fan in his hand turned into a longsword instantly. He turned back and said, “Shen Ying, look after them!”
“Oh.” Shen Ying took out a new fruit and replied.
“Chef, the left side is yours. Don’t let it escape!” With that said, his figure flashed and he already flew out. Chef also disappeared right where he was.
In the next instant, a menacing wave of sword wind swept over violently. Everyone only felt their body unstable, and before they realized, everyone was already blown to the space behind Shen Ying. A shocking amount of sword qi went up towards the sky. A white sword rain covered the sky, with each sword made of Sword Qi seeming to be alive, they fell right upon the giant beast at the bottom.
That giant beast let out a sharp, piercing scream, and it was cut into pieces instantly. The Purple Flame Beast immediately dissipated into black balls of moving liquids. Yet in just a second, they gathered and formed a new shape. This time, it was a gigantic Lingyun Immortal Beast.
“Chef, don’t give it a chance to reform its shape.” Lonemoon reminded him again. Spatial Li had the special attributes, and once it recovered, it could cut open space and escape into another small world any time. The most efficient method was to chase it out of the plane.
“Yup.” replied Yi Qing. The sword moves in his hand grew even more intensive, and the sword qi in the air grew even thicker. Even the crowd of cultivators that he deliberately avoided felt a wave of overwhelming suppression, and their legs weakened for a time.
Lu Lin and her fellow cultivators were all shocked. Such Sword Qi! Such suppression! He was definitely not at the Foundation Establishment stage at all! Even a Nascent Soul… no, even a Soul Formation cultivator cannot have such terrible sword qi.
She turned and looked at Shen Ying, the only person who remained calm and nibbled at a fruit. She couldn’t help but ask, “Fellow Daoist Shen, what… what is the cultivation of Fellow Daoist Lonemoon and Fellow Daoist Yi Qing after all?”
“Huh?” Shen Ying stopped short. She tilted her head to think about it, before saying, “Well… Maybe a little better than, a God?”
Lu Lin: “…”
Everyone: “…”
You must be f*cking kidding me!
Lu Lin couldn’t actually believe this, and just thought she was joking. She looked once again at the two in the sky. At the time, Lonemoon had already stopped his attack. He turned and opened up the exit of this plane. At once, a wave of blinding white light appeared in the complete darkness of the sky. It was like a crack opened up in the sky, and strange aura that didn’t belong to the plane came over from the inside.
Lonemoon gave Yi Qing a look and gestured for him to Spatial Li over. Spatial Li was not a creature of this plane, and it couldn’t be killed here. Yi Qing also understood it. His sword technique changed and he forced the gigantic beast down below to approach that crack.
Spatial Li seemed to have understood their purpose as well, and it started resisting wildly. One sharp roar after another came over, which seemed as though it could break the primordial spirit. All the cultivators found it somewhat unbearable, and they had to mobilize their spirit qi, cover their ears, and bend down with a painful look on their faces, all except Shen Ying in the foremost front…
Lu Lin even felt the tendency for the golden core inside her body to crack. When she was almost going to be overcome by it, some gentle aura suddenly swept over wildly. Everybody felt a relief in their body, and that sound wave which pierced through their primordial spirit disappeared instantly.
“You alright?” Shen Ying suddenly turned back and asked, still nibbling at that fruit in her hand.
Lu Lin was stunned, and she replied subconsciously, “Yes I’m… alright.” Yet in the next instant, her eyes widened abruptly. “Fellow Daoist Shen!”
Spatial Li which was forced to retreat but a moment ago suddenly separated half of its body to make a pitch-black sharp horn from its black liquid body. It rushed over directly towards them, bringing with it a terrible violent aura. Shen Ying was right in front of it.
Lu Lin’s face paled, and she rushed over to drag her subconsciously. “Move…” But it was already too late. That gigantic beast had already reached them and was just about to hit the person in front of her, when there was a sound of something breaking through the air, and that gigantic, black, liquid beast suddenly stopped in front of the two.
Upon a closer look, she realized that somehow, Shen Ying already reached out one hand, which was firmly grasping that beast’s longhorn. It was apparently just a casual grasp, but the beast couldn’t move even a little. She could even turn back towards Lu Lin at ask, “What were you saying?”
“…” Lu Lin looked dumbfounded, and only after a long while, she replied, weakly, “Nothing…” None of these three was an ordinary cultivator indeed.
“Oh.”
