Chapter 522 - 507: Fertile Divine Sect Ruins
Li Cunxu watched this scene with extraordinary calmness. He had an unusual trait: the more dangerous or urgent the situation, the faster his mind would think, and the calmer his emotions would become.
Engage directly?
With six monarch-level Slaughter Monarchs, the leading one being Monarch Five, even if all his beasts joined forces, they couldn’t be defeated.
Just run?
The teleportation skill of the Little Devil Whale was sealed, so it seemed he could only rely on the Black Flame Horse to run.
However, the Black Flame Horse was only Venerable King level three. Even with the Speed Law and with Venerable King level nine’s Myriad Phenomena Law simulating the Speed Law, the dual speed law enhancement could not outrun Monarch Five’s Slaughter Monarch.
What should he do?
Utilize the life-saving jade of the old president?
It’s a bit unwilling. The life-saving jade of the old president would be maximally effective when used on an emperor.
Wait, Space Whale Tail, capable of spatial banishment?
If I banish myself, isn’t that a way of escape?
Li Cunxu used mental transmission to convey his thoughts to the Little Devil Whale.
"Can you use the Space Whale Tail to banish us to the Evil Land Continent?"
The Little Devil Whale hesitated for a moment, "Huh? Oh, it can be done, but what if they seal my skill again?"
Li Cunxu: "Don’t worry, just now, they caught us off-guard. If prepared, the same tactic won’t work on us a second time."
Li Cunxu suddenly had a new idea and spoke to the Little Devil Whale again.
"When banishing, send us to a random location on the Evil Land Continent."
Random means uncontrolled, which implies a probability of being banished to the headquarters of the Evil God Sect.
The Little Devil Whale was puzzled, why random?
Li Cunxu took out the Red Luck Gourd and made a wish: "Hope that when banishing us, we’ll end up at the ruins of the Fertile Divine Sect."
After making the wish, Li Cunxu immediately told Xiaoruan, "Flash blast."
In an instant, Xiaoruan burst into an incandescent light, illuminating the heavens and the earth.
It was not constantly bright, but alternated between bright and dim, flashing on and off at high frequency, particularly blinding.
The six Slaughter Monarchs, dazzled by the flash, subconsciously closed their eyes.
At this moment, the Slaughter Monarchs could no longer use the malicious sealing to seal the Little Devil Whale’s abilities.
The malicious sealing was actually a close-range skill; contact with the enemy’s body was required to seal their skills.
The reason the Slaughter Monarchs could seal the Little Devil Whale’s spatial teleportation from afar was due to the combination of malicious gaze and malicious sealing.
Using gaze as the medium for sealing.
The flash blast forced the Slaughter Monarchs to close their eyes, effectively interrupting the prerequisite for their spellcasting.
Li Cunxu said, "Little Devil Whale, now’s the time."
The Little Devil Whale gently flapped its tail, and a massive whale tail appeared in the void on the left, sweeping toward them.
Li Cunxu didn’t resist at all, instead cooperating completely, getting swept into the void, and then banished to the Evil Land Continent.
Li Cunxu held his dizzy head, enduring the urge to vomit, and struggled to stand steadily.
"No wonder no one uses spatial banishment as spatial teleportation, the feeling is terrible."
Li Cunxu felt like he had been thrown into the drum of a washing machine, spun eight thousand times, with dizziness not coming from the body. If it had come from the body, Li Cunxu’s Venerable King level could withstand it, but the dizziness was soul-deep.
Li Cunxu propped himself up with his hands, taking a while to recover.
The beasts were unaffected; as the Space Whale Tail descended, Li Cunxu had recalled Xiaoruan and the Little Devil Whale into the Beast Taming Space.
Li Cunxu leaned against the wall to stand up, and the moment his hand touched the wall, the strange sensation made Li Cunxu look up.
Natural walls were rugged and uneven, but the wall Li Cunxu touched felt like intricately carved patterns.
Li Cunxu lifted his gaze and saw engraved wheat ears, filling his heart with joy, as wheat ears were the symbol of the Fertile Divine Sect.
Li Cunxu stepped back slightly to see the full view of the carved patterns on the wall, realizing it wasn’t a wall at all but a large door.
The door was made of two stone doors, with engravings particularly in line with the style of the Fertile Divine Sect.
"Great, found the ruins." Li Cunxu said joyfully.
Li Cunxu saw a gap wide enough for a person to pass through in the open door and footprints on the ground. He furrowed his brow slightly, sensing that someone might have entered before him.
He summoned the Curse Crow.
"Curse Crow, can you tell how long ago these footprints were left?"
Although the Curse Crow hadn’t learned time-reversal skills, its mid-level past law allowed it to see traces of the past and determine how long these footprints had been here.
Curse Crow said, "These footprints were left a year and two months ago."
"Someone really got here before me, which isn’t a good sign. Hopefully, whatever can evolve the Land of Fertility into a Fertile Divine Kingdom isn’t taken."
Li Cunxu quickly stepped inside.
As his body fully entered the door, his vision went white. When he reopened his eyes, Li Cunxu saw a lush green plant world.
Thousand-meter-tall towering giant trees were everywhere.
Li Cunxu could sense that these red-trunked giant trees possessed king-like formidable vitality. If one wasn’t a king, cutting them down wouldn’t be possible. Even if they could be cut down, the speed of chopping them was likely slower than the trees’ self-healing.
Li Cunxu looked back, but the door he came through was no longer visible.
He immediately summoned the Little Devil Whale.
Li Cunxu asked, "Is this still the main world?"
The Little Devil Whale sensed for a moment and shook its head.
"As expected."
Indeed, upon entering, Li Cunxu had a feeling, although it was peculiar, unlike entering a secret realm, unlike entering a miniature world — it was indescribable.
If one were to describe it, it felt somewhat like trespassing into the territory of a gigantic beast.
Upholding the principle of seeing further from higher ground, Li Cunxu flew to the treetops to overlook the world’s entirety.
Originally thinking that thousand-meter trees were the limit of vegetation here, he was surprised to find something even more impressive.
A hundred kilometers away stood a ten-thousand-meter giant tree.
From its appearance, Li Cunxu identified it as a life tree capable of nurturing spirits.
However, the state of this life tree seemed off. Its canopy, which blotted out the sky, displayed two colors — one side vibrant green, full of vitality, the other desolate yellow.
Li Cunxu then flew back down, feeling that flying over the treetops of the thousand-meter trees would be too conspicuous and dangerous.
After walking a hundred meters, Li Cunxu smelled an odd fragrance, a blend of ten different scents.
Following the aroma, Li Cunxu found its source.
In a relatively wide area, stood a plant resembling a crucifix. At its center was a Ten Holy Fruit, a blend of ten different colors.
After achieving Venerable King, there were few things that could stir Li Cunxu’s desires, but seeing the Ten Holy Fruit, his heart raced.
This Ten Holy Fruit was the top-tier expansion item.
Consuming it would instantly add ten contract slots.
Li Cunxu found himself involuntarily walking closer, wanting to pluck it.
At a distance of ten meters, the will law of Venerable King level nine brought a sliver of clarity back to his gaze.
"No, with eleven contracted beasts already overwhelming me, expansion items are important but not that crucial. Why am I losing control of my legs, moving closer without assessing the danger first?"
