CHAPTER 601: CHAPTER 331 DESTRUCTION_2

This head resembles that of a human, yet appears severely swollen, as if skinned, with empty eye sockets and a long tongue protruding from a row of sharp teeth.

Roar!

The terrifying head suddenly emits a roaring sound.

Bang bang bang...

Numerous cultivators exploded and died under this sonic attack.

Li Qian just felt the terrifying sonic wave coming, as if it was ravaging even space itself.

His figure rapidly fell back, while spiritual power exploded within, and the Chen Bell Sound echoed, firmly resisting the impact of the sonic wave.

He didn’t immediately enter Chenzhong Cave Heaven mainly because he was worried it might attract the attention of that terrifying creature.

This creature can appear amid the terrifying energy vortex, its level is self-evident, likely capable of ripping through space.

If it targets him directly, it would be extremely troublesome.

Just when Li Qian was about to flee, he suddenly noticed that the terrifying creature was no longer emerging, retreating back and disappearing.

At this moment, he finally stopped, his heart pounding hard.

"What kind of creature is that?"

Li Qian looked at the distant energy vortex, pondering silently.

That creature’s level is definitely far stronger than the Huan Peng fierce bird in the Earth Immortal Realm, not even in the same league...

The Huan Peng fierce bird’s strength he witnessed firsthand, even Immortal Golden Immortals could only avoid confronting it.

"Is there even a being stronger than Immortal Golden Immortal in this world?"

Li Qian found it hard to believe.

After all, by current understanding, Immortal Golden Immortals are the strongest entities.

He suddenly suspected that the entire small world’s destruction might be related to the terrifying creature just now.

Li Qian returned to the vicinity of the energy vortex.

The scene was unbearable.

The terrifying creature’s roar probably killed more than half of the people.

Those who escaped were all outside the range of the terrifying creature’s sonic attack.

Inside... except Li Qian, almost no one survived.

Due to so many deaths, a large number of severed limbs and storage devices were left at the scene.

This triggered a scramble and frenzy among the survivors, even resulting in fierce battles.

Li Qian was about to leave when suddenly a figure flew past on a spirit sword.

It was a young man.

His cultivation was very ordinary, barely entering the Void Immortal Realm.

Someone caught up behind him, shouting, "Kid, hand over the stuff quickly, and I might spare your life."

As that person flew past Li Qian, Li Qian flicked his finger, causing that person’s spiritual artifact to lose control, and he fell from the air.

"I don’t recall offending you, fellow cultivator?"

The person stabilized his spiritual artifact, staring intently at Li Qian but hesitating, not daring to act.

"I just can’t stand you bullying the weak."

Li Qian chuckled.

"In the cultivation world, strength reigns supreme..."

The person retorted.

"Then I’m stronger than you, how about I seize your belongings?"

Li Qian laughed and asked.

The person was stunned, then his face showed fear because he sensed the aura from Li Qian was growing, forming an indescribable pressure on him.

"Heavenly, Heavenly Immortal..."

He was horrified.

He was just a small Earth Immortal, how could he dare to contend with a Heavenly Immortal.

Moreover, in the Earth Immortal Domain, Heavenly Immortals often belong to major powers.

Earth Immortal loose cultivators like him are nothing but ants before these major powers.

"Spare me, elder."

He quickly pleaded.

"Get lost."

Li Qian waved his hand, instantly sending the man flying away.

The man felt relieved, tumbling through the air before hurriedly riding his spiritual artifact away.

Li Qian did not stay either, flying towards the distance.

The reason he saved the boy was just a casual act.

Just as he flew a short distance away, Li Qian suddenly found the boy he saw earlier pursuing him.

"Elder...."

The boy quickly called out.

"Boy, you have run away, why come back?"

Li Qian was surprised.

Although he didn’t know what the boy got that made an Earth Immortal chase him, it should have some value.

"Elder, thank you for saving my life just now."

The boy hurriedly said.

If not for this elder stopping the Earth Immortal, a small Void Immortal like him could never escape from an Earth Immortal.

"Boy, sometimes if you don’t have the power to obtain something, do not covet it, or you might lose your life. Alright, leave quickly."

Li Qian said.

Looking at this young and tender face reminded him of his past self.

"Elder, the item I took is my grandfather’s...."

The boy quickly continued, "The person chasing me... used to have a good relationship with my grandfather. They entered the small world together, but just now.... my grandfather died, and that person tried to seize my grandfather’s belongings....."

His tone was tinged with sadness.

He and his grandfather were dependent on each other.

For his cultivation journey, his grandfather took the risk to enter a small world with others.

"I see, then you should leave quickly."

Li Qian said.

"Elder... can I exchange something for cultivation resources with you? This item was obtained by my grandfather from the small world, and the person chasing me wanted to seize it."

The boy suddenly asked.

He knew he was taking a risk.... but the item posed a great risk if kept.

Even if exchanging for cultivation resources wasn’t easy.

He understood the principle of bearing guilt for possessing a precious item.

Li Qian was surprised at the nervousness of the boy.

Wasn’t the boy afraid that Li Qian might develop greed?

It seems the reason is likely because Li Qian saved him earlier, causing the boy to take such a risk.

"What item?"

Li Qian asked.

The boy, without any hesitation, directly handed a storage bag to Li Qian.

Li Qian was surprised at the boy’s decisive action.

He took the storage bag and then scanned it with his divine sense, immediately sensing the contents inside.

Inside were various miscellaneous items, but to a cultivator of Li Qian’s level, they were just scrap, of no value.

However, one item made Li Qian’s eyes narrow slightly.

It was a small segment of bamboo root.

The whole bamboo root was blue-gold with grey-black mottled spots, appearing slightly withered.

If he wasn’t mistaken, this was likely an Immortal Thunder Bamboo.

According to an ancient book he read, Immortal Thunder Bamboo can be used to refine Tribulation Crossing Dao Artifacts, helping cultivators to cross tribulations in the Tribulation Crossing Realm...

This Immortal Thunder Bamboo was very precious, even when the Immortal Realm hadn’t yet collapsed, it was of the top-tier Immortal Wood category.

He didn’t expect such a precious Immortal Thunder Bamboo to be in the hands of a Void Immortal boy.

Such a precious item cannot be measured by value.

Moreover... this Immortal Thunder Bamboo, although only the bamboo root remains... he still vaguely sensed that the bamboo root was not thoroughly withered, containing a trace of vitality.

This means the Immortal Thunder Bamboo could potentially be regrown.

"Boy, how much cultivation resource do you want to exchange?"

Li Qian asked.

"Elder, I don’t know how precious this item is, just offer whatever you consider fair."

The boy answered quickly.

He truly did not know what it was, only heard from his grandfather that this bamboo root was possibly of the Immortal Spirit Bamboo level.

"Alright."

Li Qian nodded, then placed a batch of cultivation resources into the storage bag and tossed it back to the boy, saying, "Boy, find a place to cultivate well, I hope your luck continues."

After speaking, Li Qian flew rapidly away, disappearing soon.

The boy did not immediately check the storage bag but flew towards the direction Li Qian left, finding a secluded cave to hide, and cautiously setting up a simple array.

Only then did he check the storage bag.

The next moment, he was stunned.

"This, so much?"

His eyes widened and his breath turned heavy.

So many elixirs.

Several spiritual artifacts.

And plenty of Spirit Stones, no, not Spirit Stones, but Immortal Spirit Crystals...

He had seen Immortal Spirit Crystals once from his grandfather, who treasured them dearly, saying they were meant for breaking through bottlenecks.

But now there were not just a thousand Immortal Spirit Crystals in the storage bag...
