Chapter 2108 1524: Chance Encounter
And the Black Snake caused such a commotion, already attracting the attention of certain Fierce Beasts.
Soon, a gigantic golden roc flew nearby. At first glance of the Black Snake, its sharp eyes displayed a hint of delight at discovering a delicious treat.
Screech!
Accompanied by a piercing cry, its wings stirred up a hurricane, and its gleaming talons reached straight for the Black Snake.
Hiss—
The Black Snake also noticed this sudden danger and immediately tensed its body, flicking its thick tail agilely, its speed so fast that even the Gold Roc couldn't dodge.
In an instant, the Gold Roc could only launch its attack prematurely. A cold light flashed, and its sharp claws fiercely pierced into the Black Snake's body.
But in the next moment, there was a bang, and the Gold Roc was blown away, while the Black Snake's body bore several gashes exposing flesh.
In the recent clash, it had the upper hand, but the Gold Roc's talons had left quite serious wounds on its body.
It could be said that neither side gained any advantage from the battle.
The Black Snake sensibly realized that the Gold Roc's strength was no less than its own, and continuing to fight might very well result in mutual destruction.
And in The Void, if your injuries are too severe and can't recover quickly, it's easy to find oneself in an even more dangerous situation.
Thus, the Black Snake decisively chose to retreat.
But having suffered at its hands, the enraged Gold Roc wouldn't let it leave easily.
The two sides immediately erupted in another intense clash, yet they were evenly matched, neither gaining any significant advantage.
On the contrary, the Black Snake seized the opportunity, successfully evading the Gold Roc and disappeared into the boundless Chaos.
Screech!
When the Gold Roc realized its prey was gone, it let out an angry cry.
It wanted to chase after, but unfortunately couldn't discern the direction in which the other had left. Ultimately, it could only rage for a while and leave full of fury and reluctance.
And this area, having experienced two battles in succession, with the scattered Chaos Qi, was rapidly restoring itself.
Before long, the place returned to its original state, indistinguishable from its surroundings, revealing no sign of two fierce battles having occurred.
…
Li Zhirui, who was already healing in space, naturally knew nothing of the happenings outside, and perhaps never will.
"Jiu, why are you injured?!"
The place he appeared was right beneath the Five Elements' essence, and his worried voice rang out.
"I'm fine, I just experienced a battle."
"Then quickly heal, lest any hidden dangers affect your cultivation."
"Alright."
Li Zhirui's face broke into a smile, immediately sitting before the cushion under the Five Elements Immortal Root, operating his cultivation technique, absorbing Spiritual Energy to heal his injuries.
In just a moment, he sensed a gentle and pure Five Element Spiritual Energy surrounding him, instantly understanding that the Five Elements were offering help.
He felt quite moved inside, but now wasn't the time to offer thanks, so he immediately composed himself and continued wholeheartedly with the healing process.
Soon, the space was quiet, filled with the unknown breezes stirring the Spiritual Objects and the joyous laughter of Devil Spirits running and jumping within, evoking a sense of peace and tranquility.
…
After an unknown amount of time, Li Zhirui slowly opened his eyes, his injuries healed.
Thinking back, his injuries weren't too severe, as he had left the battlefield early, not giving the Black Snake enough time to inflict further damage.
Yet, after this encounter with a Profound Immortal Realm Fierce Beast, he gained a clearer understanding of the power within that realm.
The Black Snake's every move seemed like a simple exertion of physical strength, but it had actually integrated the Power of Laws!
This shows that the Profound Immortal Realm's use of the Power of Laws has reached a state of perfection far beyond what Li Zhirui could compare to.
His current understanding is more about knowing what it is but not how to use Spiritual Fire.
Of course, this is also related to his recent breakthrough to becoming a Profound Immortal, since without the passage of time, some things simply aren't learned!
Moreover, without any mentor to guide him, his future development relies on himself to slowly explore, deduce, leading to a naturally slower progression speed.
He was prepared for this, accepting a slower pace; as long as he proceeded steadily.
Countless thoughts whirled through his mind in just an instant.
"Thank you for your care these days, Five Elements. Without your help, my injuries wouldn't have healed so quickly." Li Zhirui expressed his heartfelt gratitude as he stood up from the cushion.
His words weren't mere pretence, but sincere!
The Five Elements' condensed Essence Qi indeed greatly aided his healing.
"Hehehe…"
The Five Elements, having had no contact with the outside world, retained its innocent and pure nature, shyly laughing upon hearing his praise, "Being able to help you is the best thing of all."
"Five Elements, how did you find your previous journey within the Minor Thousand World?" Li Zhirui suddenly thought of something, choosing not to leave immediately but to sit back down, smiling as he asked.
"Hmm…"
The Five Elements hesitated for a moment, saying, "It's not fun; those tiny people have such short lives, and there's constantly battles erupting, each time many creatures die. I only visited twice and never went back again."
