Capítulo 1698: Chapter 1318: Fortuitous Encounter
In the Void, there seemed to be no trace of the passage of time. Looking around, there was only the grey haze of Chaos Qi, occasionally surging and occasionally dispersing.
But beneath this elusive Chaos, there might be hidden dangers, or perhaps concealed treasures.
Having learned many lessons before, Li Zhixuan was even more cautious and vigilant this time, guarding against the Chaotic Beings that might emerge at any moment.
Roar!
Perhaps it was her allure to the Chaotic Beings, for not long after entering the Void, she encountered a huge, pitch-black rock python.
When Li Zhixuan noticed the commotion, she responded with a sword strike, yet all she heard was a clang, failing to leave a single mark on the python’s body.
Even though it was a casual strike, its sharpness was something that even a Body Cultivation practitioner of the Earth Immortal Realm would not dare face head-on!
Bam!
The python lunged at Li Zhixuan with incredible speed, a special power trapping her in place, its massive body crashing down like a mountain, forcing her to withstand this onslaught.
“Break!”
Li Zhixuan concentrated her mind, discarded all distractions, and infused all her spirit into the Mysterious Sword in her hand. A thin red glow appeared, but just one glance would drown one in overwhelming killing intent, even altering one’s Dao Heart to the brink of madness!
The red light pierced through the air, appearing diminutive against the python’s attack, like a solitary leaf on a tempestuous sea, with a constant risk of being capsized.
Crack!
Roar——
A crisp shattering sound accompanied by a cry of agony swiftly followed.
The overwhelming pressure was shattered by that mere red glow, breaking the python’s defenses, wreaking havoc within its flesh. The immense pain engulfed its entire body, causing the python to roll madly in the Chaos as if doing so could alleviate its suffering.
After unleashing the strike, Li Zhixuan’s aura dropped significantly, leaving her noticeably weakened.
The python’s frenzied thrashing stirred chaos in the surroundings, as a Chaotic Storm seemed to form. She couldn’t slay it and dared not linger too long, so she regarded the python deeply before turning away without hesitation.
Having just set out, she encountered a formidable foe. Yet, this did not deter Li Zhixuan, it only excited her further.
Because the more dangerous and powerful the opponent, the more she would progress after battling them!
Against all odds, she got her wish.
In the subsequent journey through the Void, the chances of encountering Chaotic Beings were exceptionally high, and each possessed significant strength, requiring Li Zhixuan to exhaust her methods to defeat them.
Several times, she faced unbeatable adversaries, barely escaping with her life.
But it was through these relentless battles that Li Zhixuan’s cultivation progressed rapidly, though her injuries also grew more severe.
With no safe place to heal in the Void, her treatments were intermittent, never managing to fully recover, interrupted by a Chaotic Storm or turbulence, forcing a hasty retreat.
“This can’t continue!”
Li Zhixuan realized her precarious state, on the brink of danger, and if she didn’t properly heal, her foundation might be damaged!
Faced with such a dire situation, she had no choice but to return to the Primal Spirit Realm.
But on the journey back, an unexpected event occurred!
On that day, as Li Zhixuan cautiously navigated the Chaos, a sudden change occurred beneath her feet. A black hole opened without warning, rapidly expanding and bursting forth with a powerful pull.
Naturally, she didn’t want to be sucked in, but no matter how she struggled or resisted, she couldn’t escape its grasp, being forcibly dragged until she fell into the black hole!
As she was engulfed by darkness, a roar from a giant beast suddenly echoed.
“Damn it!” Li Zhixuan instantly realized she hadn’t fallen into a black hole but had been swallowed by a gigantic Chaotic Being.
But this didn’t improve her situation. Just imagining the immense power of such a creature was enough to cause fear!
Dragged by formidable suction, she spent an unknown amount of time in darkness before finally coming to a halt.
The moment she ‘landed’, Li Zhixuan felt a strong corrosive force trying to dissolve her. Within moments, she realized her vestment robe was damaged! She had to use Mana to envelop herself, preventing further erosion.
“This doesn’t seem like ordinary gastric acid, but a form of special Divine Power.”
Saying this, she released all her Divine Sense, and after ‘observing’ her surroundings, confirmed she was inside the beast’s stomach, detecting a hint of unusual Mana fluctuations.
“How can I escape from inside the beast?”
However, the next change left Li Zhixuan no time to ponder.
The beast seemed to have enhanced its Divine Power, its corrosive force becoming even more terrifying, leaving her Defensive Spiritual Light showing signs of dissolution.
“I can’t stay here…”
Using her Divine Sense to scout, Li Zhixuan began moving forward, searching for a safe spot to strategize her next move.
But she hadn’t gone far, possibly not even leaving the stomach, when a powerful suction suddenly erupted from behind her, nullifying all her previous efforts instantaneously!
