Chapter 1228: All Sides (Part 2)
Li Zhixuan's attitude completely enraged the three Devil Beasts. They never thought they would be so despised and loathed, especially in a three-against-one situation!
However, even though they were infuriated, their strength did not improve, and they still weren't a match.
As time went by, their situation worsened, their bodies were covered in wounds, and their aura rapidly declined.
In contrast, Li Zhixuan did not let her guard down despite their inadequate strength, maintaining long-term focus and constantly keeping an eye on their condition.
At this point, the three Devil Beasts had completely lost the will to continue fighting, only thinking about leaving alive, so they each began to plan their escape.
As for those Devil Beasts in Demon Valley behind them? Live or die, what did it matter to them?
Having fought numerous Devil Beasts, Li Zhixuan could naturally see through their plans, and she knew that it was impossible to stop all three. Being able to deal with one was already quite good.
So she began to intensify her offensive, forcing them to flee quickly, to find a gap and seize one Human Immortal Demon Beast to eliminate.
As expected, when the three Devil Beasts found their wounds becoming more severe, they fled in three different directions simultaneously.
However, while escaping, they deliberately set traps for each other, hoping to buy some time for their own escape.
Li Zhixuan naturally chose the slowest fleeing Devil Beast. Under her strong assault, that Devil Beast was no match, and soon it was severely injured, seemingly losing the possibility of survival.
But the final result was unexpected; somehow, it used some Divine Power to escape from a deadly Sword Qi, and it disappeared in the end.
"As expected, any creature cultivating to the Human Immortal Realm, whether of the human race or Devil Beast, is not simple." Li Zhixuan was somewhat surprised but quickly accepted it.
The higher the cultivation, the longer one lives, the more life-preservation methods one has, increasingly bizarre.
That's why it's often said that the later stages of cultivation are harder to kill, not only because of the significant increase in strength but also due to collecting various life-preserving methods over the long years.
Now Li Zhixuan could only deal with those Devil Beasts that hadn't escaped and clean up this demon cave, which had buried an unknown number of human lives!
She didn't bother to listen to the wails and pleadings of those Devil Beasts, considering herself merciful for not torturing them. With fingers clasped together, Li Zhixuan lightly waved out several Sword Qi, swiftly harvesting the Devil Beasts' lives.
The valley was filled with the bones of the human race, and a large Blood Pool had blood water more than half full, the lives of countless humans unknown!
Finally, a great fire erupted, instantly igniting the entire valley. The blazing fire burned away all evil and wickedness.
"Damn it! Damn that accursed Cultivator!"
The two escaped Devil Beasts did not stray far from Demon Valley but hid in secret places, spying in the dark. Once Li Zhixuan left, they would immediately return to clean up the mess.
They saw the blaze burning with intensity, destroying all their efforts and energy spent during this period, even ruining their hope of breaking through to the Earth Immortal level.
Yet no matter how fiercely they cursed, they dared not go back, fearing that Li Zhixuan was still there, threatening their lives.
...
"I still need to cooperate with the nearby Immortal Dao Influence; otherwise, relying on my strength alone, it's impossible to deal with so many Devil Beasts, let alone stay here forever."
Elsewhere, Li Zhixuan watched the fire engulf the sky, pondering her next steps.
Forming alliances with nearby Immortal Dao Influences was the best and most effective solution; the question was whether these influences were willing to help.
If they weren't willing, everything she envisioned would be for naught!
So, Li Zhixuan went to visit a nearby Immortal Dao Influence, but the outcome shocked her. They were unwilling to involve themselves and disregarded the protection of ordinary humans.
It's important to know that amongst the rules set by various Immortal Dao Influences, one must protect ordinary humans!
Even the Demonic Tao, under adequate material conditions, should not lightly engage in large-scale slaughter of ordinary humans.
They understood that to ensure the continuation and expansion of their power, they had to rely on the extensive proliferation of humans. Naturally, human lives needed to be protected.
Yet this influence surprisingly seemed poised to break this rule! Absolutely ridiculous; who knows what kind of madness took over.
After some thought, Li Zhixuan cast this matter aside. She was merely a passerby and saw no need to delve deeper into the investigation of an Individual Immortal Realm Influence.
So, after being rejected, she left decisively and went to other influences.
Fortunately, other influences were relatively cooperative, and with collective effort, the nearby Devil Beasts were finally dealt with, either killed by Cultivators or fled.
After resolving the issue, Li Zhixuan embarked on a new journey, not staying for long.
...
In the Taiyin Divine Domain.
Li Chengshuo and Li Chengsheng began their preparation to request the Heavenly Dao to appoint Divine beings again!
"After completing this task, we might be able to advance even further," Li Chengshuo spoke with considerable anticipation.
"Indeed, and if luck is on our side, we might even obtain a strand of the Laws, mastering the Time Law," Li Chengsheng agreed with excitement.
After all, the Time Law has always been very advanced, and if they could master even a fraction of it, both would significantly benefit.
"Start summoning a multitude of subordinate gods."
Both of them acted in unison, summoning their respective subordinate gods to gather.
"Greetings, Divine Master!"
Subordinate gods continuously arrived, each paying respects as they entered, and soon after, all the Divine beings had assembled.
The subordinate gods were quite curious seeing such a significant gathering, unsure of what these two Divine Masters intended to do, having gathered everyone together.
"We have gathered you all today to share joyful news: my elder brother and I still have twenty-four Divine Positions..."
Gulp—
Someone unknowingly swallowed audibly.
For these minor gods, every additional Divine Position was an additional foundation, a further future.
Especially considering what Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo had previously revealed.
It is necessary to protect human life.
The outcome was that this influence had the potential to break this rule! Absolutely absurd, with no telling what madness had seized them.
After pondering briefly, Li Zhixuan discarded this matter, being just a passerby, with no need to investigate an Individual Immortal Realm Influence deeply.
So, after the rejection, she decisively left, heading to other influences.
Fortunately, the other influences cooperated relatively well, and with joint effort, the Devil Beasts nearby were finally resolved, either killed by Cultivators or escaped.
After dealing with the matter, Li Zhixuan embarked on a new journey, without lingering too long.
...
In the Taiyin Divine Domain.
Li Chengshuo and Li Chengsheng began preparing once more to request the Heavenly Dao for Divine beings!
"Once this is done, we might be able to advance further," Li Chengshuo spoke with anticipation.
"Indeed, if luck favors us, we might even receive a wisp of the Laws, mastering the Time Law," Li Chengsheng echoed with excitement.
After all, the Time Law is quite high-end, and having mastery over even a part would greatly aid both of them.
"Let's start summoning all the subordinate gods."
The two acted simultaneously, summoning their subordinate gods.
"Salutations, Divine Master!"
Subordinate gods continued to arrive, each offering their greetings, until all Divine beings were present.
The subordinate gods were intrigued by such a large assembly, curious about the two Divine Masters' intentions for bringing everyone together.
"The reason for summoning everyone is to announce joyful news: my brother and I have twenty-four Divine Positions left..."
Gulp—
Someone unknowingly uttered a swallow sound.
For these minor gods, every additional Divine Position is an added foundation, a further future.
Especially considering what Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo had previously taken...
