Chapter 1148: Chapter 1148
"One hundred and fifty Magic Power Acupoints."
Li Yi’s eyes flashed, lightning coiled around him. He ended his cultivation, stood up, and in one breath, devoured tens of thousands of miles of Spiritual Energy. His body seemed to possess endless strength.
Simultaneously, a Mana Flower began to form above his head. Although it had yet to bloom, it signified that Li Yi had successfully broken through to the Second Layer of the Tri-Floral Realm.
"I never would have thought that two Flat Peach Fruits would turn misfortune into fortune for me, regenerating my Divine Blood, reopening my acupoints, and even breaking through my realm," Li Yi was quite pleased.
It should be known that under normal cultivation circumstances, opening up one hundred and fifty acupoints and blooming two flowers is extremely difficult, requiring untold resources to achieve.
But now, eating just two fruits was enough to break through.
Hua Qing was right, a True Dragon cannot be nurtured in still waters. Only by breaking free from barriers and venturing into a wider world can one attain higher realms. Now, whether on Earth or any other world, what’s available can no longer aid Li Yi.
"Congratulations, your strength has advanced once again." At this moment, Hua Qing’s voice rang out. Not far from the sea of clouds, a half-meter tall child, sculpted like jade, stood with hands behind his back, smiling as he spoke.
"You grew up? How long was I in cultivation this time?" Li Yi asked.
Hua Qing said, "Not long, only three months have passed. In cultivation, time is insignificant. The speed of your breakthrough is already fast enough, this is the benefit of opportunity. If you were cultivating step by step, you might still be struggling on Earth now."
"Although my realm has progressed, my combat power hasn’t greatly surpassed its peak. Only when my injuries are fully healed can I surpass my previous self," Li Yi said.
"In my hometown, there’s something that can help your Divine Blood fully recover, don’t worry," Hua Qing said. "I’ve almost got everything ready here, it’s time to set out again. Are you prepared?"
"Let’s go." Li Yi stretched his muscles and bones, accustomed himself to the power within his body, and then spoke.
Though Hua Qing appeared as an infant, he was exceptionally mature and steady. With a flip of his palm, the Sword Coin appeared, exuding a crystal-clear treasure light. Unlike before, the Sword Coin seemed to have fully regained its peak state.
He must have spent some effort repairing it during this period.
"Since you’re ready, I’ll start breaking the boundary now. This time there will be no resting or stopping midway. I’ll take you straight to my hometown," Hua Qing said, waving his hand.
The Sword Coin flew out, instantly slicing open the Cross-border Gate, a space-time passage once again appeared before them.
He then charged in first, and Li Yi, not to be outdone, followed closely behind. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel•fire.net
As the spatial gate closed, under the protection of the Sword Coin’s treasure light, the two traversed numerous worlds, along a unique path, step by step breaking free from their cage, heading towards a vaster world.
Li Yi noticed the changes around him at this moment.
The number of Cultivation Worlds they passed through increased.
He arrived in a world of the Divine, but that world was not peaceful. The gods waged wars, the world was on the verge of collapse, and he also briefly passed through a realm of giants, even more terrifying than the Barbaric World...
Going round and round.
Finally, at the end of the darkness, a light appeared, an invisible barrier blocked their advance.
"We’ve arrived." Hua Qing’s eyes flickered: "This is the Heaven and Earth Embryonic Membrane, indestructible, the barrier of this Great Realm. Even at my peak, I couldn’t open it. Only the Sword Coin can tear a corner, allowing us to cross worlds."
"So once we enter here, we can’t cross worlds again?" Li Yi asked.
"Indeed, even the strongest of this Great Realm cannot open the Cross-border Gate, it’s no surprise. The higher the world level, the stronger the defense, only in small worlds is the space unstable. Without the protection of the Heaven and Earth Embryonic Membrane, wouldn’t battles between the powerful destroy the world?" Hua Qing said.
"True enough." Li Yi nodded slightly, Hua Qing’s words were not wrong.
He clearly felt during the great war in the Barbaric World, that the Barbaric World was sturdier than Earth, the aftermath of battles didn’t cause too much damage.
The Sword Coin transformed into a treasure light and adhered to the Heaven and Earth Embryonic Membrane, then opened a narrow passage, not large, but sufficient for a cultivator.
Immediately, the two changed their forms, shrunk, and flew inside.
After that, the Sword Coin transformed into a treasure light and flew back.
But this time, Li Yi made a move. He grabbed it across the distance, directly bringing the Sword Coin into his palm, then said, "This Sword Coin is mine, now it’s returned to its owner."
Hua Qing laughed: "You’re cautious, rest assured, I won’t compete with you. You may hold it, now that I’ve returned home, I no longer need this item."
"That’s good, though it’s worth saying in advance, to avoid any misunderstanding." Li Yi said.
At this moment, he paid attention to the surrounding environment again.
Now, the two appeared above an ocean, the expanse seemed endless, and the seawater was peculiar. Some areas were black, others blue... A rich Five Elements Qi permeated the surroundings.
Just by taking a breath, Li Yi felt the Mana within his body grow several times stronger, as if this realm contained more than just Spiritual Energy, there was a strange energy here.
This energy was of a high level, greatly beneficial for cultivation.
"This is bad," Hua Qing’s face changed as he looked around.
"Why is it bad?" Li Yi asked.
Hua Qing’s little face looked a bit grim: "Although there is indeed some deviation in coordinates when crossing dimensions, it shouldn’t be this far off. We are now above the Sea of Ruins, we can’t stay here long. We need to fly east toward the direction of the sun quickly, and be prepared for battle at any moment."
After speaking, he immediately transformed into a beam of light and rushed straight into Li Yi’s body.
"Could you let your Primordial Spirit make some room, so I can temporarily stay inside you? I really don’t want to be eaten."
"..." Li Yi was speechless.
He immediately sensed something, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly looked toward a part of the deep sea not far away.
The seawater exploded, a huge creature burst out of the water, charging toward him.
Li Yi couldn’t see clearly what it was, he only saw a pair of cold vertical pupils. Without much hesitation, he mobilized his Divine Power, maneuvered his Mana, with the roars of a tiger and dragon, and punched through the air.
Accompanied by the unleashing of power.
But in the next moment, something incredible happened, this attack didn’t repel the figure, instead, Li Yi himself was struck, and his whole body was instantly sent flying backwards.
Li Yi felt an extremely terrifying force hit him, a force that surpassed a Demon God, capable of instantly blowing him apart.
But after flying several kilometers backward, he managed to barely steady his form.
At some unknown point, a suit of Armor appeared on his body, this Armor shimmered with the brilliance of stars, indestructible, protecting him.
"It’s the Black Gold Star Armor crafted for me by Tian Gong Taoist..." Li Yi thought to himself, though even so, he was shaken to the point where blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
Only then did he finally see the figure’s appearance clearly.
It looked both like a dragon and a beast.
"This is a Water Avoiding Beast, Centipede, quickly go, don’t hesitate, when one of these appears, there’s always a pack of them." Hua Qing urged immediately.
Hearing this, Li Yi’s face suddenly changed dramatically.
Just one of these was already this ferocious. If he hadn’t had a breakthrough in strength earlier, he might have been killed just now. If a pack of them shows up, he figures there wouldn’t even be a trace of him left.
Originally, he thought about bringing out the Demon God Sword to fight it.
But now he didn’t even have the thought to fight.
He immediately turned and ran.
He executed the Cloud-Riding Technique to the extreme, forming into gathering and dispersing qi, his form erratic. He swiftly distanced himself from this place, escaping eastward.
The Water Avoiding Beast let out a roar, diving into the sea, then pursued Li Yi.
"It’s chasing, these things are faster in water than in the air." Hua Qing said.
"I can feel it, its aura is rapidly approaching, and at least four more with the same aura are heading my way. I really have bad luck, encountering such a thing right after crossing dimensions." Li Yi’s mouth twitched.
"Not really, the Water Avoiding Beast is considered weak in the Sea of Ruins, otherwise they wouldn’t pack together. As Evolvers, don’t you understand even this?"
"The weak gather together, the strong travel alone." Hua Qing said.
"Stop talking, I feel like I’m about to be caught." Li Yi said.
In the next moment, a Water Avoiding Beast caught up to him from the side, its huge head surfaced from the water, then opened its mouth and spat out an extreme beam of light towards Li Yi.
This strike, though not very noisy, had power surpassing the peak blow of the Purple Dragon Demon King.
"Get lost." Li Yi wielded the Demon God Sword and unleashed a shocking sword beam with all his might.
The two attacks collided.
The Demon God Sword’s attack prevailed slightly, cleaving through that beam of light, simultaneously slicing onto the Water Avoiding Beast’s body, tearing open an inconspicuous cut, failing to inflict a fatal injury.
Through this strike, Li Yi roughly understood their strengths compared.
Wielding the Demon God Sword and wearing the Black Gold Star Armor, taking down one Water Avoiding Beast wouldn’t be difficult, but definitely couldn’t withstand the encirclement by them.
