Don't Push Your Luck!

Bai Qiuran's body plummeted rapidly through the cosmos. When he landed near the few footholds that Li Jinyao had left for him, he swiftly swung out his Immortal Rope, which wrapped around one of the boulders. However, the powerful impact was still immense, and he pulled on the boulder, falling downwards with it.

Wisdom Immortal, having just been freed from the time gap, realized he was plummeting rapidly alongside Bai Qiuran. He quickly warned, "Be careful! Below this cosmic Firmament lies the outer Void! Don't fall in!"

"I know!"

Bai Qiuran trudged through the Milky Way, Milky Way Stars within brushing against his body. These high-temperature energy bodies scraped sparks off his skin. However, the Immortal Rope and the boulder in his hands could not withstand such torment and were shattered by the impact of the Stars during the traversal of the Milky Way Milky Way.

Emerging from beneath the Milky Way, with the dark Void beyond the boundary right before her eyes, Bai Qiuran suddenly raised her hand and struck out with a palm into the deep, empty Void.

The True Qi transformed into a torrent of white energy, pressing heavily into the Void outside the boundary. The chaotic Energy Storm within the Void collided with this torrent of energy and was actually forced back by the pressure.

Then, with the force of the recoil, Bai Qiuran was as if she had stepped onto a catapult, and she soared into the sky at an even faster speed than when she came.

He traversed the Milky Way once more, leaping to a point level with the Galaxy Giant's eyes, grabbed a piece of floating debris, and roared at the Galaxy Giant, "Damn it, you bastard, don't push your luck!"

At this moment, after a period of aggregation, the remnant souls of the Star Gods seemed to have increased their resonance intensity, which made the Consciousness of the Galaxy Giant seem to have become much clearer.

Upon seeing Bai Qiuran, it shook its head, and a burst of light spread out, reconnecting its severed limbs with its energy body. Then, it gazed at Bai Qiuran and uttered a deep, resonant tremor, like Great Bell, with multiple layers of sound.

"Heaven's Envy and must die!"

What have I done to offend you?

Bai Qiuran countered, "Hey big guy, let's make a deal. Anyway, your time is running out. Once your energy is depleted, you'll return to Eternal Calamity. And I don't want to fight right now. Why don't we sit down amicably and have a cup of tea? You can also tell me some specific information about that 'Heaven's Envy' from back then. What do you say?"

The Galaxy Giant demonstrated its answer with action; it raised the Eastern Emperor Bell and once again rang out the Bell Chime that had frozen time and space.

Bai Qiuran's body froze in mid-air for a moment. The next moment, time and space shifted, and the Galaxy Giant used both fists to pin Bai Qiuran in the middle, squeezing him inward with all his might.

Although its Consciousness was hazy, it was very clever. It knew that its skills were inferior to Bai Qiuran's, and its huge body was also slower than Bai Qiuran's. So it used this method to Restraint Bai Qiuran's movements, forcing him to compete with it in strength.

Bai Qiuran wasn't entirely sure of its exact energy level, but after channeling one-tenth of his power into it for half a day, he was certain that the energy it had left was definitely more than the one- True Qi of his own internal energy that he could currently utilize.

Bai Qiuran tried his best to support the Giant God's fists with both hands, but he felt the power coming from both sides suppress him for the first time. However, when he slightly increased his True Qi, the urge to break through immediately rose up uncontrollably again.

If when Time Stop, he felt like someone was repeatedly pounding his stomach, then now, it felt like he was desperately needing to urinate, and someone was relentlessly pressing on his stomach.

"Old Bai, stop being so persistent."

Wisdom Immortal's belt was now wrapped around his arm, and this fellow, relying on the Heavenly Dao's blessing of immortality, was speaking dishearteningly without any sense of crisis.

"If you break through another level, your strength will increase exponentially. You can instantly defeat this Giant God, and then we can slowly figure out the Foundation Establishment Method. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

"Shut up..."

Bai Qiuran's hands were forced into a bent position, and his lips trembled as he said, "You bastard, I... I can't hold back anymore! Ah--"

He roared, and the immense True Qi within his Purple Mansion suddenly doubled in size, with boundless power flowing through his limbs and bones, emanating from his arms and instantly shattering the hands of the Galaxy Giant.

The terrifying power caused the entire space-time to tremble. At this moment, Bai Qiuran successfully broke through and entered the 66,666th level of the Qi Refining Stage!

"Brute..."

Bai Qiuran's voice trembled; he lowered his head, his tone filled with anger.

"... Do you know what you did wrong today?!"

The Galaxy Giant opened its massive maw, and nebulae gathered within, their powerful and scorching energy coalescing into a beam of light that shot forth.

But the next moment, the pillar of light was sliced in half. Bai Qiuran formed his palm into a blade and rushed in front of the Giant God. He no longer suppressed his strength. He waved his hand, and several blazing Sword Light sliced through the sky, instantly cutting the body of the Galaxy Giant into pieces.

A few minutes later, the Sword Qi gradually dissipated into the Void, Bai Qiuran, naked, stood silently in the Firmament universe.

"Hey Old Bai, you really didn't need to get so angry."

After a long silence, Wisdom Immortal finally spoke slowly, saying, "Given your situation, I believe that if you possess Foundation Establishment Secret Art, then that technique should be able to disregard the factor of True Qi quantity. If not, then I think there's actually no difference between the 66,665th and 66,666th levels of cultivation..."

"Don't mention that. Do you know why we couldn't get any information from that previous 'Heaven's Envy' look?"

Bai Qiuran paused for a moment before asking.

"I know. Generally, there are two possible reasons for this situation: First, even the Heavenly Dao doesn't know the origin of the Heaven's Envy. The Heaven's Envy is an extraterrestrial being... But this contradicts what I know. The Heaven's Envy is clearly a physique born in a world under the Heavenly Dao's control, and the Heavenly Dao is also well aware of this physique's information."

Wisdom Immortal replied, "Secondly, the Heavenly Dao itself has blocked this information... For some reason, it doesn't want me to know anything about that Heaven's Envy Jealousy."

"Why?"

Bai Qiuran couldn't help but ask, "It's said that Heavenly Dao is ruthless and impartial. Given the deal between you and it, wouldn't that be considered a breach of contract?"

"I already said that Heaven is stingy, and while He is indeed ruthless, you've misunderstood what I mean by selfless."

Wisdom Immortal scoffed, "All things in the world have developed Consciousness. Where is there truly a selfless being? Even those saints, who do good and seek the Dao, do so for their own desires and ideals, to practice their own Dao. The Dao of Heavenly Dao is selfless, but because it is bound by rules, many things cannot be manipulated at will. However, as long as it can find a loophole in the rules, it will definitely try its best to make events develop in a direction that is favorable to itself."

"So it thinks that my knowledge of this will be detrimental to it..."

Bai Qiuran pondered deeply.

"Nonsense, who wants an unmanageable troublemaker in their territory? I say, we should probably... What the hell is that?"

"Wisdom Immortal exclaimed in surprise."

Bai Qiuran turned his head and discovered that the Firmament Galaxy Giant, which he had originally divided into its most basic energy components, was actually flowing continuously toward the direction of the Eastern Emperor Bell.

What happened?

Bai Qiuran asked in surprise, "I clearly dealt with its remnant soul as well."

"It's not the remnant soul of Giant God; that Giant God is indeed dead."

Wisdom Immortal said in a deep voice, "It's the Eastern Emperor Bell! It's absorbing the surrounding energy; it wants to attack you!"
