“Young Master Li Xuan, shall we go out and capture her?” After Meng Tuoluo departed, Yang Xiao and Qin Guang exchanged a glance before looking at Li Xuan and asking.
Li Xuan frowned upon hearing this. Beings who could accompany Meng Tuoluo were likely the Ghost Empress, who stood above ten thousand others under Meng Tuoluo. Although Yang Xiao and Qin Guang had broken through their realms, confronting the advanced Dao Realm Ghost Empress would be no easy feat.
“No need. Her strength is not low. We cannot predict the final outcome. Moreover, since Yao’er has already gone to the void to battle Meng Tuoluo, we shall wait patiently,” Li Xuan ultimately decided.
Yang Xiao, Qin Guang, and the other six nodded in agreement, but their gazes remained filled with killing intent towards the Ghost Empress. If their hater was Meng Tuoluo, then the second most hated individual was this Ghost Empress. So many of their kin had died by her hand.
Yang Xiao and Qin Guang’s words were not concealed, and the Ghost Empress outside the golden protective barrier naturally heard them. However, Li Xuan’s words surprised her even more. Li Xuan’s strength was arguably the lowest among Yang Xiao and the other six. Yet, all six of them obeyed Li Xuan’s words.
Even if Li Xuan was Li Yao’s elder brother, this level of heartfelt acknowledgment made the Ghost Empress feel a sense of disbelief.
“What kind of strength does this destined one possess?” The Ghost Empress shook her head slightly and then looked towards the void.
The advanced Dao Realm was only a step away from the peak. With two peak Dao Realm existences clashing, it was undoubtedly a battle of epic proportions. For the Ghost Empress, this battle could also provide new directions and insights.
In the void, Li Yao and Meng Tuoluo had separated. On the surface, Li Xuan could not tell who had won or lost for the time being.
“You are, after all, one step ahead of me,” Meng Tuoluo said, looking at Li Yao with a complicated expression, then shaking her head with some disappointment.
Li Yao smiled slightly and shifted her gaze to Li Xuan within the golden barrier below, saying, “Perhaps, it is all fate.”
Meng Tuoluo was silent for a moment before asking, “Then, what do you plan to do next?”
Li Yao looked at Meng Tuoluo with a hint of helplessness, saying, “The Ghost Domain, and even the Ghost Realm, I entrust to you. The Ghost Domain has developed well under your care over the years. However, I hope that colluding with the outside world will be a one-time occurrence.”
“Also, do not have any ideas about my brother.”
Meng Tuoluo chuckled and replied, “Rest assured, the karma surrounding him is not something I can provoke. I am clear about that.”
Li Yao nodded slightly, her aura growing stronger. Sensing this, Li Yao’s brow furrowed.
“Brother, I’m sorry. I was still thinking of staying with you for a while longer after this fight, but I didn’t expect to break through so soon.” Li Yao’s voice entered Li Xuan’s mind, her words filled with helplessness.
Li Xuan frowned. Was Li Yao going to leave?
Could there truly be a five-dimensional space!
“Someone has actually reached that step. I wonder if the legends are true.” In the Immortal Realm, an elder in white immortal robes looked towards the Ghost Realm, then his figure vanished.
In the Dragon Realm, a figure clad in golden robes soared into the sky. His form shifted, transforming into a nine-clawed golden dragon, and in the next moment, he shot towards the Ghost Realm.
Simultaneously, of the top ten powers in the four-dimensional space, all their leaders, except for those from the Xuan Cang Continent, were heading towards the Ghost Realm.
“Yao’er, as long as you are safe, that is all that matters.” Li Xuan’s voice reached Li Yao, who then smiled like a blooming flower, and her aura instantly calmed.
As streaks of spiritual light flickered throughout the heavens and earth, a multicolored radiant glow enveloped Li Yao.
Li Yao’s gaze shifted to Meng Tuoluo, saying, “I’m leaving now, and you still won’t call me sister?”
Meng Tuoluo’s tears immediately began to flow. Looking at Li Yao’s figure, which was becoming increasingly ethereal, she whispered, “Sister…”
Although her voice was extremely low, Li Yao seemed to have heard it, her smile becoming even brighter.
Li Xuan’s body trembled. Was Meng Tuoluo Li Yao’s sister? Had a sister ambushed her elder sister, causing her to decompose herself for rebirth!
All for the position of the Ghost Realm’s ruler!
Li Xuan now finally understood the relationship between Meng Tuoluo and Li Yao. No wonder Li Yao had said that she could restore herself once she returned to the Ghost Realm. And she was not worried even when the strength disparity was so great.
“Damn it, little master, if I didn’t know about your master, I would suspect that Elder Sister Li Yao is the destined one! This intricate relationship is making me doubt my own existence!” the voice of the Heavenly Dao Brush echoed in Li Xuan’s mind.
Li Xuan was speechless. Then, his gaze shifted, and he saw figures appearing all around them. The aura of the newcomers was extremely powerful. Li Xuan observed that all eight of them were peak Dao Realm existences.
“Above the Dao Realm, are there still new paths? We have only come to observe. Everyone, please rest assured, we are just watching,” the elder from the Immortal Realm said with a smile.
Meng Tuoluo frowned, but she did not stop them. After all, everyone’s attention was currently on Li Yao.
“Insignificant ants, how dare you dream of opening a heavenly path?”
Just as Li Yao was about to disappear into the pillar of radiant light, a faint, ethereal voice suddenly sounded.
In the next moment, a giant spiritual hand descended from the sky, directly shattering the multicolored radiant glow above Li Yao’s head.
Pfft!
Li Yao’s figure fell out, then spat out a mouthful of blood. It was evident that being interrupted had caused Li Yao a severe backlash.
“Yao’er!”
“Sister!”
Li Xuan’s eyes widened with rage. He moved instantly and rushed towards Li Yao. Meng Tuoluo, who was in the void, also panicked and hastily held Li Yao’s body.
“Hmm, I didn’t expect to find so many delicious fish in this little pond with an accidental discovery.” A colossal figure slowly emerged. Upon seeing Meng Tuoluo and the leaders of various factions, his eyes revealed a covetous look as if seeing delicacies.
Everyone frowned upon hearing this, clearly not understanding the meaning of the former’s words. However, everyone’s expressions quickly turned solemn as they found themselves unable to look directly at the face of this colossal being.
“Yao’er!” Li Xuan had already reached Meng Tuoluo’s side. After glancing at Li Yao, he shifted his gaze to Meng Tuoluo and said, “Hand Yao’er over to me!”
Meng Tuoluo initially wanted to refuse, but seeing the burning killing intent in Li Xuan’s eyes, she trembled inwardly and subconsciously nodded.
“Take good care of Yao’er!” Li Xuan directly collected Li Yao into the Prison Suppressing Artifact. After transmitting a message to the artifact spirit, his gaze turned directly to the appearing giant.
“What did you mean just now, that the world we inhabit is merely a place for you to raise us?” Li Xuan asked calmly.
Li Xuan had already experienced such a situation in the Land of Rebellion. To think that it existed in the four-dimensional space as well, and perhaps the four-dimensional space was just a small enclosure for others to raise them. The thought was terrifying.
“Oh? There’s a smart little fish that can figure out the concept of being raised.” The giant’s gaze shifted to Li Xuan. After smacking his lips, he said, “Since you are so clever, I will eat you first.”
As the giant spoke, he struck Li Xuan with a palm. Space collapsed wherever it passed. Everyone changed color at the sight. It was as if this simple move was meant to be. Li Xuan could not muster any strength to resist, and the giant palm drew closer and closer.
“Blood Devouring Clan, interesting.”
