Trial and Upgrade!
Seeing the scene reappear before his eyes, Li Xuan was immediately astonished. The spiritual energy in this spatial scene was even more concentrated and solid, almost to a tangible degree.
The vast expanse of white he saw was a sign of solidified spiritual energy. Since the spiritual energy was denser, the level of this place was naturally higher.
Li Xuan had a faint premonition that perhaps this space was also the work of Elder Shan Wushuang, with the aim of allowing them to break through faster.
"I hope this place can help me break through to the Immortal Realm," Li Xuan took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on the distance.
Vaguely, Li Xuan sensed a powerful aura awakening.
Thump, thump, thump!
Accompanied by a rumbling sound, the ground beneath Li Xuan's feet trembled again.
Li Xuan looked towards the sound. Rolling dust and sand kicked up, and within the swirling sand, he could vaguely discern objects flashing with white light moving rapidly. From their silhouettes, he could tell that this fast-moving body was nearly ten zhang in size.
In the instant Li Xuan was observing, a monstrous beast suddenly charged out of the edge of the vast spiritual energy and appeared before him.
"Void Burrowing Beast!" Upon clearly seeing the appearance of the giant beast, Li Xuan was shocked. The Void Burrowing Beast's level surpassed the ninth rank.
According to the classification of spiritual masters, it was almost equivalent to the peak of the Eternal Realm. Moreover, this beast could traverse the void at will, appearing and disappearing mysteriously. Its defense was extremely strong, and its destructive power was even more terrifying. Hence its name.
Li Xuan had not expected such a monstrous beast to appear in this space.
Although Li Xuan was curious whether this beast was the work of Elder Shan Wushuang or if it had genuinely wandered into this Holy Seal Illusion by chance, facing such a colossal creature, Li Xuan's first instinct was to evade.
Despite Li Xuan's imposing stature, he was like an ant in comparison to the Void Burrowing Beast.
Roar!
The Void Burrowing Beast landed heavily on the ground, its large, round eyes fixed directly on Li Xuan, who had moved away. It then let out a sky-shattering roar, and a gust of wind shot out from its mouth, hurtling towards Li Xuan.
"Damn it, it's targeting me. But that's good, I'll spar with you!" Sensing the danger, Li Xuan did not hesitate and moved again.
This time, Li Xuan was certain that the appearance of the Void Burrowing Beast was not accidental.
Although the Void Burrowing Beast was extremely powerful, it was still only at the peak of the Eternal Realm. This strength was not significantly different from Li Xuan's, making it a perfect opportunity to hone his combat skills.
"Overlord Fist Unrivaled!"
Li Xuan activated his physical body almost instantaneously. The physical strength of the Myriad Manifestation Realm converged in his left arm, and he slammed it towards the Void Burrowing Beast.
Bang!
Terrifying force was unleashed, accompanied by a bang. Both Li Xuan and the Void Burrowing Beast were repelled hundreds of meters.
"Such strong physical defense!" Li Xuan's eyes flickered with shock as he felt the Void Burrowing Beast's defense.
For any ordinary person, Li Xuan's punch would have been enough to kill them instantly. Yet, the Void Burrowing Beast was merely knocked back hundreds of meters, and its terrifying physical defense also repelled Li Xuan.
Thud!
Perhaps enraged by Li Xuan's proactive attack, the Void Burrowing Beast slammed its forelimbs onto the ground, causing the earth to tremble. Stone pillars emerged rapidly, shooting towards Li Xuan.
Seeing this, Li Xuan quickly floated upwards, and a spiritual energy barrier instantly materialized.
"Qian Yuan Four Symbols Art, Four Symbols Emerge!"
Li Xuan quickly formed hand seals, and four divine beast illusions instantly appeared. Now that Li Xuan's strength had increased, the bodies of the four divine beast illusions were more than seven or eight zhang tall. The four divine beast illusions let out simultaneous roars and, under Li Xuan's command, pounced towards the Void Burrowing Beast.
Roar!
The Void Burrowing Beast roared, and its massive body rapidly moved to charge towards the four divine beast illusions.
Boom!
A terrifying loud noise swept through, and spiritual light filled the air, dazzling the eyes. Even with Li Xuan's eyesight, he had to shield his eyes slightly.
Huh?
When the spiritual light dissipated, Li Xuan lowered his hand and looked up, only to find that the Void Burrowing Beast had vanished.
"It disappeared? Not good!" Li Xuan glanced at the Void Burrowing Beast's previous position in surprise, a sense of alarm suddenly gripping him. He instantly moved towards the distance.
Bang!
The moment Li Xuan moved, a powerful force swept through his entire body. The Void Burrowing Beast, which had suddenly disappeared, had appeared behind Li Xuan. Its massive palm had landed squarely on Li Xuan's body.
Puff!
Li Xuan spat out a mouthful of blood, his internal meridians and bones feeling as if they had fallen apart, sending waves of intense pain. Then, a shadow loomed over him, as the Void Burrowing Beast stomped down.
Damn it! Li Xuan cursed, enduring the intense pain within his body and channeling his spiritual energy to move away rapidly.
Puff!
By forcefully evading the Void Burrowing Beast's attack, Li Xuan's internal injuries were aggravated. He spat out mouthfuls of blood, his aura instantly weakening. However, at this moment, Li Xuan noticed that the bottleneck within his body seemed to be loosening.
Thump, thump, thump!
A series of rapid thuds pulled Li Xuan's attention back from checking his internal injuries. Fortunately, Li Xuan's physique was not weak, and his strength had greatly increased after breaking through to the Sacred Heart Realm. Otherwise, this palm strike would have been fatal.
Seeing the Void Burrowing Beast charging towards him rapidly, Li Xuan moved his hand, and with a single finger, he unleashed.
"Grand Void Thunder Technique, Yin Yang Dual Thunder!"
Crackle!
As Li Xuan's hand seals fell, two lightning pillars, one bright and one dark, as thick as a waist, descended from the sky. The lightning spread, engulfing the Void Burrowing Beast.
Crack!
Lightning snakes intertwined, and thunder rumbled. The terrifying might of the lightning raged, striking the Void Burrowing Beast.
Roar!
The Void Burrowing Beast let out a long roar. The two lightning pillars were actually swallowed into its gaping maw. Following this, a flash of lightning flickered on the Void Burrowing Beast's body, and it finally vanished.
"How is this possible?!" Seeing the two lightning pillars disappear without a sound, Li Xuan was shocked.
Most spiritual beasts feared lightning, especially the Grand Void Thunder Technique taught by Elder Shan, which was even more powerful. Who would have imagined that this Void Burrowing Beast could completely ignore the power of lightning?
In fact, Li Xuan was unaware that the Void Burrowing Beast resided in the void and earth, and thus often encountered areas with lightning. Over its long years, its body had evolved.
Moreover, adult Void Burrowing Beasts frequently consumed lightning to temper themselves. Although Li Xuan's Grand Void Thunder Technique was powerful, it could not escape the fundamental nature of lightning. To the Void Burrowing Beast, it posed no threat.
Burp.
While Li Xuan was in shock, the Void Burrowing Beast let out a satisfied burp. Li Xuan could only offer a wry smile, his heart filled with worry. How could such an existence be defeated?
Physically, he could not match it.
In terms of spiritual energy, he was no match for the Void Burrowing Beast at all.
It could be said that at this moment, the Void Burrowing Beast completely dominated Li Xuan.
Thump, thump, thump.
As if sensing Li Xuan's emotions, the Void Burrowing Beast began to walk towards Li Xuan again.
Seeing this, Li Xuan took a deep breath, and then his Master Sword slowly appeared in his hand. The Master Sword vibrated rapidly, causing the surrounding space to show signs of annihilation.
"One Sword Breaks All Laws!"
