The moment Li Tianming realized this, he sensed changes in the surrounding waters. Clearly, the power of an Illusory God had seeped in.
It was an Illusory God similar to Zhaohua Heavenly Sovereign's Firmament Divine Sea Illusory God!
Of course, the two were on different levels.
But regardless of its level, when this Illusory God transformed into water and wrapped around Li Tianming, he knew he had been discovered.
"Pull me away!"
Li Tianming had tested it before: Zi Zhen's short-distance burst speed was even faster than Miaomiao's. Miaomiao's advantage lay in long-distance sprints, where lightning would automatically form an impulsive force.
At this critical moment, Li Tianming had been about to use the Grand-Primordial Star Chain to bind Zi Zhen and have her drag him away.
But Zi Zhen did not utter a word. She directly hoisted him onto her back, tore through the deep sea in an instant, and charged forward.
"Fuck."
It was Li Tianming's first time being carried on a girl's back, and his expression turned strange.
Icy water kept pouring into his mouth.
Though Zi Zhen did not look particularly burly, her ghosts-and-gods flesh was genuinely lean and powerful. The force of her waist and abdomen held Li Tianming steady, yet remained springy; as she charged ahead, she was like a small fierce beast.
"Why don't you put your sword in a spatial ring?" Zi Zhen asked with a strange expression as they sliced through the water.
"If I put it in there, it'll break," Li Tianming said.
"...!"
Zi Zhen's heart had just begun pounding when she immediately discovered that the Illusory God's power from before had already enveloped them.
"What is that?" Li Tianming frowned and looked ahead.
A curtain of light appeared before them. Like a gigantic wall, it blocked their path.
