In the purple bamboo forest.
Ye Tian had just been destroyed by Jiang Li's Nether God's Spear, and the surrounding flesh and blood rapidly dissipated.
Golden blood, along with the physical body, vanished into thin air in the purple bamboo forest.
It was as if Ye Tian had never appeared.
Tang Siqi and Ye Tian looked at the scene before them with astonishment, a scene that clearly exceeded their imaginations.
Jiang Li pursed his lips, his heart turning to ice.
He had thought he could freeload a Heaven Swallowing Divine Body, but unexpectedly, even his flesh and blood had disappeared.
"Whoosh!!!"
Before long, the space not far away rippled again.
Ye Tian, clad in black martial attire, reappeared before Jiang Li.
"Jiang Li, I'm back!" Ye Tian said with a smile to Jiang Li.
Having witnessed that unbelievable power, Ye Tian no longer harbored any fear.
After all, he couldn't die, so they could do whatever they pleased.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
Jiang Li remained silent, and another torrent of divine power attacked.
Ye Tian's body shattered once more.
Golden blood and minced flesh splattered everywhere.
"Junior Brother Jiang, it seems this Lord of Death is truly unfathomable!" Tang Siqi said to Jiang Li beside her.
Jiang Li nodded as he watched the dissipating flesh and blood before him.
If Ye Tian possessed such means, he wouldn't have been so miserably pursued.
This must be the work of that Lord of Death.
What exactly did he want?
Did he simply want to meet me?
Not long after, Ye Tian reappeared again.
Jiang Li showed no mercy, unleashing various divine abilities, the power of reincarnation, the Yellow Springs Saint Slaying Diagram, exotic fires...
He killed Ye Tian dozens of times, yet Ye Tian still appeared before Jiang Li unharmed.
...
"Jiang Li, I only asked you to meet the Lord of Death, why such great hostility!" Ye Tian reappeared before Jiang Li and said.
"Why must you see me!" Jiang Li asked in a deep voice.
Ye Tian, like a persistent fly, appearing before him incessantly, made Jiang Li incredibly annoyed.
Especially since Ye Tian represented the Lord of Death.
He couldn't be killed...
"You'll know when you meet the Lord of Death. There are some things I cannot say, but it will certainly not be a bad thing for you!" Ye Tian continued.
Jiang Li frowned upon hearing this.
Cannot say, not a bad thing...
"Alright, I'll go with you to meet him!" Jiang Li pondered for a moment and then replied.
If beings of that caliber truly wanted his life, they could have easily given Ye Tian some heaven-defying means to destroy him.
There was no need for such a convoluted plan.
Might as well, what's the harm in meeting him? He could also witness the demeanor of this world's forbidden existence.
Beside Jiang Li, Tang Siqi tightly held his hand. "Are you really going? To meet that Lord of Death..."
Tang Siqi had also heard of the Lord of Death's reputation, a formidable existence on the Desolate Ancient Continent.
A terrifying being who had existed for countless years.
Jiang Li dotingly stroked Tang Siqi's hair, signaling her not to worry.
"That's right, I've shown so much sincerity. Then let's set off now!" Ye Tian's eyes lit up, and he said.
Jiang Li ignored him, and after comforting Tang Siqi, he followed Ye Tian away.
...
Eastern Desolation.
Valley of Death.
Terrifying auras coiled around the Valley of Death.
"Jiang Li, how did you cultivate? You've broken through too quickly!" Ye Tian asked Jiang Li beside him.
Back at the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect, Ye Tian had truly experienced Jiang Li's terrifying might.
Various top-tier martial arts and powerful divine abilities had made Ye Tian experience all sorts of different deaths, a truly divine torment.
"Don't ask, it's just talent!" Jiang Li pouted.
Ye Tian's mouth twitched. If he could defeat Jiang Li, he would have certainly taught him a lesson.
"What kind of person is that Lord of Death?" Jiang Li asked.
The two had already arrived at the Valley of Death, and many powerful fierce beasts around them let out pained cries.
Upon hearing Jiang Li's question, Ye Tian's expression instantly became solemn.
"I have never met a more powerful existence than her!" Ye Tian said in a deep voice.
Jiang Li's eyes narrowed. Ye Tian was a quasi-emperor in his previous life, having weathered countless storms.
Even he said so, it seemed the strength of this Lord of Death was truly astonishing.
Jiang Li remained silent. The closer they got to the depths of the Valley of Death, the more Jiang Li could feel the aura of death pervading the surroundings.
It was hard to imagine how many lives had perished in this Valley of Death.
Before long, Jiang Li and Ye Tian approached the cave where Ye Tian cultivated.
The surroundings were filled with a chilling aura, and the vegetation looked gloomy.
"We're almost there!" Ye Tian took a deep breath and said.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
At that moment, Jiang Li felt a violent surge of momentum sweep through the entire space.
A majestic will seemed to tear through the entire world.
The Saint Yuan within Jiang Li instantly circulated with extreme speed, attempting to break free from the confinement, but it was utterly impossible.
"Swish!!!"
After a moment, the world before Jiang Li turned a vast expanse of white.
Jiang Li felt a slight daze. The white scene before him made him feel as if he were immersed in an boundless ocean of spiritual energy, on the verge of being swallowed.
When Jiang Li regained his senses, he found himself in a beautiful peach blossom forest.
The peach blossom forest was filled with dense spiritual energy, and a faint fragrance filled Jiang Li's nostrils.
Where is this? Jiang Li looked around the beautiful scenery.
"You've finally arrived!" At this moment, a clear and ethereal voice echoed in Jiang Li's ear.
The voice was like refreshing spring water, extremely pleasant to the ears.
Immediately after, an ethereal figure gracefully emerged from the depths of the peach blossom forest.
A ball of mist surrounded the figure, obscuring it.
Only a faint outline could be discerned, and the subtle aura emanating from the figure was almost enough to suppress heaven and earth.
It was as if this figure was destined to be a being that would dominate the world.
The Lord of Death is a woman? Jiang Li was somewhat dumbfounded.
Such a notorious existence turned out to be a woman, which was truly unexpected.
Moreover, the mist around her seemed to conceal all scrutiny, and his system showed no reaction whatsoever.
"May I ask why Senior wishes to see me!" Jiang Li took a deep breath, suppressed his thoughts, and said slowly.
Now that he had arrived, there was no other choice. He could only see what she intended.
The ethereal figure remained silent, her eyes fixed on Jiang Li.
