Chapter 1156: Chapter 1156

Li Yi’s Primordial Spirit Dharma Image stepped on the Red Lotus as he swiftly traversed through this Chaos Space, racing against time, not wasting a single moment, yet the space seemed boundless.

From the beginning until now, Li Yi hadn’t stopped for even a moment, yet he never reached the end of this space.

This made him even more anxious.

Because the glow of the Red Lotus was already very dim, the erosion of Chaos Qi was relentless.

Moreover, Li Yi seemed to have lost his direction in this space, not knowing where he was, as there was only the grey Chaos Qi around, and nothing else.

The whole world seemed to be left with only him.

"It seems our journey can only end here."

Hua Qing, at this moment, had no hope, and instead, with some embarrassment, said: "I’m very sorry, this time it’s my fault for getting you into this. If I hadn’t insisted on bringing you to the Heavenly Realm, you could have lived well on Earth and wouldn’t have lost your life here confused and unaware."

"Apologizing now, isn’t it a bit too late?" Li Yi’s mouth twitched: "It’s fortunate that I reached the Tri-Floral Realm before coming to the Heavenly Realm. To think, Old Bi Deng, you tried to coax me to the Heavenly Realm when I didn’t even have the power of a Heavenly Soldier. If I hadn’t been steady enough, I would have been dead long ago because of you."

"But this time, it’s also not entirely your fault. You’re inherently devious, coaxing others into danger as easily as eating and drinking. It’s because I battled with the Demon God, got injured, and wanted to quickly recover, that I fell into your trap."

He did not blame Hua Qing but instead reflected on himself.

"I must say, your mindset is really good. If you can really survive this time, the Heavenly Realm might truly have a new Taiyi Heavenly Venerate. Hua Qing sighed.

If it were someone else, in anger, they might have killed the culprit right away, but unexpectedly, Li Yi didn’t vent his anger on him.

"There’s not much time left now. This last effort, if I still can’t reach the end of this space, then I’ll just accept it." At this moment, two Tao Flowers bloomed on Li Yi’s Primordial Spirit Dharma Image.

One of them represented the Tao Flower of the Primordial Spirit, blooming with eight petals, crystalline and translucent, different from ordinary people.

The Tao Flower of the Primordial Spirit began to wither, its petals transforming into the purest power, strengthening himself.

Li Yi’s Primordial Spirit Power surged, the Red Lotus beneath his feet propelled by the Primordial Spirit Power, reached an extreme speed, transforming into a brilliant red light traversing through this Chaos Space.

However, the powerful force obtained by burning the Primordial Spirit Flower was very short-lived and would damage his foundation, causing his realm and strength to fall.

But with life at stake, he couldn’t care about these things.

One petal was exhausted, then another petal fell, continuing to sustain this force.

Li Yi said nothing, only exhausted his foundation, squeezing the last bit of life force. If the entire Tao Flower withered and still couldn’t find a way out, then he would have to resign himself to fate.

However, when his Tao Flower had shed five petals.

The Chaos Qi in front of him suddenly became more intense, interweaving as if forming an impenetrable wall before him, like a natural barrier, endless at a glance.

"Is that the end of this Chaos Space?" Li Yi was taken aback.

"Not too sure, I’ve never been to such a strange place, but it looks somewhat like it." Hua Qing immediately widened his eyes, also seeing this boundless Chaos Wall.

Without saying a word, Li Yi drew the Demon God Sword, under the control of Primordial Spirit Power, and struck this Chaos Wall with one sword.

But an unbelievable scene occurred.

The Demon God Sword, which Tian Gong Taoist forged with countless rare materials, was instantly corroded upon contact with the Chaos Wall, losing its divine power, the power on it seized, and then it crumbled into pieces.

And then, the Chaos Qi dissipated, leaving not even a fragment, disappearing completely into nothingness.

Seeing this scene, Li Yi gasped, quickly stopping before the Chaos Wall, afraid to make contact with it.

A single touch, and even the Demon God Sword got ’digested’, who knows what can withstand the erosion of this Chaos Wall.

"Indeed, even the Chaos Qi here is so terrifying that a Heavenly King Level expert would become nothing, let alone this Chaos Wall, which should be the stomach wall of this creature. If a gap can be torn, one could indeed escape." Hua Qing initially had a glimmer of hope, but soon despaired again.

This wall, even if he regains all the strengths of Emperor Hua Qing, cannot be shaken in the slightest.

Thus speculating, this creature should be at the Heavenly Venerate Level, otherwise, it wouldn’t be so terrifying.

Li Yi’s face was grave: "Giving up now is too early. Breaking through the wall and leaving here is the only way. Hua Qing, do you think the Heavenly King Soldier I got earlier would be any better?"

"No, the result would be the same, breaking upon contact." Hua Qing immediately shook his head.

Li Yi said: "Since all divine weapons cannot exist in this Chaos Space, why has this Red Lotus protected us for so long?"

Hua Qing thought for a moment, and immediately said: "Do you know what Chaos Qi is? It’s formed by the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth, merging Yin and Yang forces, therefore, Chaos Qi can subdue all things."

"Your words were once told to me by Xiang Xiangzi. My Red Lotus originally grew from a piece of Divine Flesh, which also contained the power of the Five Elements and Yin and Yang. Thus, the Red Lotus can resist all laws, and it can exist in this Chaos Space, perhaps due to this reason."

"However, the Yin Yang Five Elements power contained within the Red Lotus is too weak, so over time it can’t withstand the erosion of the Chaos Qi here, much like the difference between wrought iron and refined steel; it seems like the same Yin Yang Five Elements power, but there are levels of strength."

Li Yi’s eyes flickered, and he immediately recalled some events he experienced within the Red Gold Mountain in the Barbaric World.

"That’s right, your words align with the principles of heaven and earth. Indeed, having a few Immortals teach you makes a difference, finally showing some culture." Hua Qing nodded slightly.

"Then do you know how I picked that Red Lotus back then?" Li Yi asked again.

Hua Qing said, "That’s not a problem for me. You only need to find something that doesn’t belong to the Yin Yang Five Elements to cut down that Red Lotus. But, having traveled the world, I haven’t seen anything beyond the Yin Yang Five Elements."

"No, there is one thing beyond the range of Yin Yang Five Elements, and you’ve seen it, the legendary Fei Mu Needle." Li Yi said, then retrieved a long-unused item from his Five Elements Bracelet.

It was a peculiar object sealed within a water bottle, but as the Chaos Qi surged, the water bottle instantly disappeared, leaving only a phantom-like Divine Needle floating before him.

This Divine Needle, neither metal nor wood, was nurtured from the eye of a mythical creature, Fei.

Li Yi once used it to cut down the Red Lotus.

But later, because the power of the Fei Mu Needle was too small, he discarded it, yet it had always been stored within his Five Elements Bracelet.

"Fei Mu Needle?" Hua Qing was also taken aback: "I don’t remember such an item. Back then, when the Sword Coin split in two, my remnant soul was divided. Although later it combined into one, the soul fragment that followed you lacked some soul power, leading to memory loss."

"So that’s how it is." Li Yi was somewhat surprised.

But thinking about it seemed right; he once used the fragmented Sword Coin as an energy source to cross realms, causing Hua Qing’s remnant soul to slumber several times.

"However, losing some memory doesn’t matter. If this is the Fei Mu Needle, it indeed isn’t within the Yin Yang Five Elements. But how strong could the Fei on Earth, which nurtures the Divine Needle, be? Could such a weak Divine Needle be useful?" Hua Qing remained skeptical.

If it were the Fei King, which nurtured the Divine Needle, he might believe it could tear through this Chaos Wall.

But the Fei appearing on Earth was weak, so the nurtured Divine Needle would surely not be strong.

"You can’t say that; even a common person’s embroidery needle can pierce a tiger’s body if used well. Does that mean common people can defeat tigers?"

"All things are mutually reinforcing and neutralizing. I know this Divine Needle is weak, but as long as it can make a small hole, it gives me a chance to escape."

Li Yi said, then observed and found that although this Divine Needle was being scoured by the Chaos Qi, it remained undamaged.

This suggested the object could not be ’digested’ here.

"To treat a dead horse as if it’s alive, aside from this Fei Mu Needle, I reckon you won’t find anything else beyond the Yin Yang Five Elements," Hua Qing said.

"Big and Small Ruyi Skill."

Li Yi took a deep breath and immediately performed a Taoist skill, shrinking his form rapidly, shrinking down. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ Nove1Fire.net

Since it was the Dharma Image of the Primordial Spirit, performing the Big and Small Ruyi Skill was much easier. With a flicker, he turned into something even smaller than the Fei Mu Needle.

Like dust, almost invisible to the naked eye.

Li Yi immediately controlled the Fei Mu Needle as it charged toward the Chaos Wall before him.

"Did it just rush through?" Hua Qing was shocked.

You must know that once they touch the Chaos Wall, it would dissolve them instantly.

But it was already too late.

Li Yi’s control of the Fei Mu Needle had already made contact with the Chaos Wall, and the imagined demise did not occur. This Fei Mu Needle actually pierced through the wall, leaving an imperceptible small hole on it.

And his Primordial Spirit, like dust, slipped through this small hole into the Chaos Wall.

But soon, the surrounding Chaos Qi surged in, and the small hole in the wall quickly healed, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Li Yi had no retreat.

He could only control the Fei Mu Needle and continue forward.

"It worked, it succeeded, it really pierced through this wall. Incredible, truly incredible, that a Divine Needle nurtured by such a weak Fei could puncture such a creature-level being." Hua Qing was both shocked and pleased.

At this moment, he felt he could live on again.

"The wound heals quickly; if we were a step slower, we’d be crushed by the Chaos Wall." Li Yi glanced back at his rear, almost breaking into a cold sweat.

He had no choice but to continue burning the Primordial Spirit Flower.

Now, he only had three petals left, and the Primordial Spirit Dharma Image had become much more ethereal than before.

The foundation was severely damaged.

But with the resources of the Heavenly Realm, he believed that as long as he could survive this ordeal, he would soon recover.
