Yanzhou.
A long and narrow spatial crack tore a hole in the smooth sky. It looked a little terrifying.
Zhou Yi, Huan Ji, Su He, Liu Hanyan, and Li Qing stood outside the spatial crack. Their beautiful faces were filled with worry. The experts of the Dao Sect floated a little further away, their faces full of shame.
If they were strong enough to resist the strange beasts, they would not have let the Dao Head of the Dao Sect take the risk to enter the strange beasts' territory.
Li Mu turned his head and swept his gaze across the beautiful faces. In the end, he just waved at them, then turned and flew into the spatial crack without hesitation.
The thin Spirit Qi in the Ten Continents could not allow his cultivation to progress. Only by going to the Peach Garden could his cultivation continue to improve.
Tian Jizi, the Ancestors of the Demon Dao, and all the experts had sacrificed themselves there. Li Mu naturally wanted to live a stable life with his family. But in the face of a great calamity, if he did not do something, no one would.
At this moment, he took the risk for the future peace of the Ten Continents, for the sake of living a stable life with them forever.
The five black dragons followed behind Li Mu and also flew into the spatial crack.
In the boundless grey space, Spirit Qi and Evil Qi existed at the same time. After a slight obstruction, Li Mu once again felt the pores on his body relax.
The Spirit Qi in the Peach Garden was so abundant that even if Li Mu did not take the initiative to guide it, it would gather in Li Mu's body by itself.
This was no longer the place where Li Mu first entered the Peach Garden. The spatial crack that connected the two spaces had been moving at a fast speed in the past few months. There were also strange beasts of different races appearing from the spatial crack.
Ao Feng and the others appeared behind Li Mu. Li Mu glanced at them and asked, "How do you feel?"
Bathing in the rich Spirit Qi, Ao Feng almost moaned in comfort. A look of enjoyment appeared on his old face as he muttered, "Comfortable, it's like coming home …"
Roar!
As soon as Li Mu's aura appeared, he heard a roar. A strange beast with two horns on its head roared and charged towards Li Mu.
When he was about to reach Li Mu, lightning flashed in his mouth. Then, he spat out a lightning ball that was several feet in size and went straight for Li Mu.
Li Mu's figure mysteriously disappeared just as the thunderball was about to touch him.
In the next moment, he appeared on the head of this exotic beast that was comparable to a Level-7 beast.
Compared to the gigantic beast's body, Li Mu's body seemed so small. Facing this gigantic beast that was countless times larger than him, Li Mu reached out and pressed his hand on its head.
The strange beast suddenly froze in place, and its body couldn't help but tremble. Not long after, its body turned into a withered beast corpse and fell to the ground.
Li Mu lowered his head and looked at his hand. He felt the magic power in his body increase slightly. He had never thought that there would be a day when he would use demonic techniques.
The Spirit Qi in the Peach Garden was unusually rich. It definitely surpassed that of the Ten Continents 10,000 years ago.
If one cultivated here, there wouldn't be any bottlenecks that were difficult to break through. As long as one's cultivation reached a certain level, ascending to the Level-9 was a matter of course.
However, even if Li Mu cultivated here, he had just ascended to the Level-8. If he wanted to ascend again, it would be at least a few decades later.
He couldn't wait for a few decades. He had to find a shortcut.
The strange beasts fed on the living beings of the Ten Continents. From a certain perspective, the living beings of the Ten Continents were their prey and also their resources. To Li Mu, the strange beasts were also resources.
There was no good or evil in Taoism. Demonic techniques might not be considered evil when used on the enemy.
After killing this strange beast, the herd of beasts in the distance started to become restless. Then, more strange beasts rushed over.
Ao Feng and the others were so frightened that their faces turned pale. Li Mu immediately said, "Transform into dragons, now!"
When Ao Feng and the other dragons heard this, they transformed into their black dragon forms without hesitation. Li Mu concealed his aura and hid under a piece of dragon scale. When the five dragons were shivering, the beast horde had already arrived.
However, they didn't attack Ao Feng and the others. They only circled around them once before dispersing.
Ao Feng was in disbelief. He asked telepathically, "What, what's going on?"
At this moment, Li Mu was already sure that his guess was right. The strange beasts wouldn't attack the Dragon Tribe like how they attacked humans. Because the Dragon Tribe was originally their own kind …
Li Mu transmitted some images recorded in the Dragon Tribe's Heavenly Book into Ao Feng's mind. Ao Feng was stunned for a long time before he asked in shock, "We, we are strange beasts?"
Although the Dragon Tribe was arrogant and had always looked down on the other races of the Ten Continents for 10,000 years, they had always acknowledged their identity as living beings of the Ten Continents. They hated the strange beasts that had wreaked havoc in the Ten Continents.
In the past few months, when the strange beasts had invaded, they had put in a lot of effort in exterminating the strange beasts.
Now, Li Mu told him that they were strange beasts. Ao Feng couldn't accept it, and he wasn't willing to accept it.
Li Mu didn't give Ao Feng an answer. Instead, he asked, "Do you think so?"
Ao Feng was flustered and exasperated. He immediately said, "No, these brainless idiots. How can they be compared to the Dragon Tribe? They aren't even fit to carry the shoes of the noble Dragon Tribe!"
Ao Feng was obviously touched by Li Mu's words. The Dragon Tribe was the noblest and smartest race. Although these strange beasts were powerful, their bestial nature was far greater than their intelligence. They were animals. What was the difference between saying that the Dragon Tribe was strange beasts and calling them animals?
If these strange beasts had attacked them like how they attacked Li Mu, it would have been fine. However, they ignored them. This made Ao Feng feel that the dignity of the Dragon Tribe had been insulted.
However, he didn't dare to provoke these strange beasts.
Although most of these beasts were weaker than him, the auras of a few strange beasts in the distance made him tremble with fear.
Ao Feng no longer paid attention to those strange beasts. He and the other four Black Dragons maintained their dragon forms and began to cultivate on the ground.
The Spiritual Qi here was too dense. It was simply like heaven. He felt that it wouldn't be long before he became an Eighth Level Black Dragon. At that time, he would go find those beasts in the distance to vent his anger.
While Ao Feng and the others were cultivating, Li Mu released his Divine Perception. The situation within a hundred miles appeared in his mind.
Within a hundred miles, there were a total of four Eighth Level strange beasts and a dozen or so Seventh Level strange beasts. It seemed that even in the Peach Garden, Ninth Level creatures weren't everywhere. This was good news.
These four Eighth Level strange beasts were very far away from each other. It seemed that strange beasts also had a sense of territory.
Li Mu and Ao Feng were in the territory of an Eighth Level strange beast with the body of a tiger and the head of a deer. At this moment, that strange beast seemed to have discovered something. It roared and rushed in the direction of Li Mu, Ao Feng, and the others.
Li Mu's eyes flashed. Then, he formed a seal with both hands. His body transformed, and in the end, he actually transformed into a thousand-foot-long Azure Dragon. His body exuded an Eighth Level pressure.
He had inherited Ao Qing's bloodline and had completely comprehended the Dragon Clan's Heavenly Book. Combined with his transformation techniques, the dragon he transformed into was no different from a real dragon.
Seeing the intruders not far away, that strange beast with the body of a tiger and the head of a deer came to an abrupt halt. Then, it roared a few times at Li Mu, indicating that this was its territory. The Azure Dragon that Li Mu had transformed into let out an arrogant dragon roar. Clearly, it wasn't willing to submit.
The strange beast let out another furious roar. Dense lightning bolts appeared around its body. It stepped on the lightning bolts and charged madly in Li Mu's direction.
It wanted to kill this intruder and defend its territory.
Meanwhile, the Azure Dragon in the distance spat out a dragon's breath. Within the dragon's breath, there was an imperceptible golden light.
Whoosh!
The golden light arrived in an instant. A small hole appeared in the center of the strange beast's forehead. Its running body came to an abrupt halt. The lightning surrounding its body also gradually disappeared. It fell to the ground powerlessly.
This arrow had used up all of his Spiritual Energy. Li Mu's body fell directly into the void and stopped in mid-air.
The Spiritual Qi here was too dense. The speed at which the mantra recovered his Spiritual Energy had also increased by tens to hundreds of times. In just a short moment, he had already recovered half of his Spiritual Energy.
The commotion that happened here quickly attracted the attention of the other three strange beasts in the distance.
Li Mu noticed that they were rapidly approaching. He let out a dragon's roar. An extreme pressure spread out, and the three auras gradually slowed down.
Roar!
Deafening roars came from three directions. Then, the three powerful auras gradually moved away. This meant that they had acknowledged Li Mu as the king of this area.
Li Mu slowly flew down and transformed back into his human form. He placed his hand on the head of the strange beast that had died.
The aura of the strange beast that had died was constantly weakening. Beside it, another aura was constantly rising.
Seeing that the spatial crack in front of him was moving towards the territory of another strange beast, Li Mu could not stop it. He could only sit down cross-legged and refine the abundant energy in his body.
The spatial crack was not very big at this time. Only strange beasts below the seventh level could pass through. Li Mu believed that Tian Jizi and the others could handle it.
It was not until a month later that Li Mu completely refined the last trace of energy that belonged to the eighth level strange beast in his body.
He let out a long breath of turbid air, then stood up and flew towards the direction of the spatial crack.
Not long after, the roars of strange beasts came from the distant sky. The low-level strange beasts within a hundred miles all prostrated themselves on the ground and shivered.
Meanwhile, in the land of the Ten Continents.
Strange beasts continued to emerge from the spatial crack in the past month after the Daoist Leader had left. Furthermore, the spatial crack continued to expand and required more and more seventh level cultivators to stabilize it.
The powerful cultivators of the True Path Sect had to focus all their efforts on stabilizing the spatial crack. Occasionally, some strange beasts would slip through the net and escape. In the process of hunting them down, some outstanding young disciples of the True Path Sect had also emerged. They were noticed by the sect and began to cultivate them vigorously.
At the same time, some powerful mechanism Dharma treasures began to be sent over by the Great Zhou court. These Dharma treasures were extremely sturdy. They only needed to be activated with Spiritual Jades to unleash great power. They were of great help in the battle against the strange beasts.
The disciples of the Corpse Sect refined the dead strange beasts into beast corpses. Using the beast corpses against the strange beasts, coupled with the mechanism Dharma treasures, they greatly reduced the casualties of the True Path Sect disciples.
Although the True Path Sect had the upper hand in the battle against the strange beasts with overwhelming power, everyone knew that this was only a temporary victory.
More powerful strange beasts would eventually descend. The other side of the spatial crack carried the hope of all living beings in the Ten Continents.
The paradise.
Li Mu did not know how much time had passed, nor did he know what level his cultivation had reached.
He had constantly been searching for the constantly moving spatial crack, preventing even more powerful strange beasts from descending into the Ten Continents. He had also constantly been fighting against powerful strange beasts. In fact, he had already lost count of how many strange beasts had died at his hands.
He had been attacked several times by groups of strange beasts. He had only managed to survive thanks to Ao Feng and the others' protection. He had also been hunted down twice by strange beasts comparable to the ninth level. He had only managed to keep his life thanks to his outstanding ability to escape. After spending so much time alone in the nest of strange beasts, Li Mu had already become numb to these things. Fighting and improving were his entire life.
Another corpse of a level-eight strange beast lay at Li Mu's feet. Because he had killed far too many strange beasts, his body was shrouded in a murderous aura. The strange beasts in the surroundings all fled for their lives when they sensed this aura.
Li Mu touched the barge's head. The aura of the corpse rapidly weakened until it completely vanished.
Li Mu heaved a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to go elsewhere, his hair suddenly stood on end, and he looked up at the sky.
A vortex had appeared in the gray sky at some point in time.
This vortex was like a giant eye that looked down at Li Mu from above. Within the giant eye, a power that made one shudder was continuously gathering …
Suddenly, a purple lightning bolt suddenly descended from the giant eye.
This lightning bolt was extremely fast. Even the speed of the Sun Shooting Bow could not compare to it. It seemed to have traversed space in an instant and landed directly on Li Mu's body.
A giant pit of ten thousand feet appeared on the ground. The giant pit was charred black, and the entire space was deathly silent.
"Cough!"
A light cough broke the silence, and a naked figure crawled out from the center of the giant pit.
Boom!
Another bolt of lightning descended from the giant eye in the sky. The figure was struck down again, and it took a long time before he slowly got up.
Boom boom boom!
In the next instant, three purple lightning bolts dyed the entire sky purple and once again drowned the figure on the ground.
At the same time, 5,000km away, a few 300m tall Cosmos Beasts with extremely terrifying auras suddenly looked towards the same direction, and then they swiftly approached ….
