Outside the gates of the Nine Heavens Sacred Ground.
Li Xian calmly watched the Nine Heavens Sacred Ground descend into chaos.
The strike of Void Origin that the Dao-Uniting God Immortal had spared no effort to unleash before his Dao Transformation had torn apart a small section of the Nine Heavens Sacred Ground's Mountain-Guarding Formation and devastated the terrain across a radius of ten thousand li in that region, causing the formation, untended for decades, to collapse.
Even though only a tiny gap had opened in the formation, the Void Tide still poured down like a flood and spread rapidly.
By now, of the area spanning a hundred thousand li beneath the formation, nearly ten thousand li had become hunting grounds for Void Beasts.
Back then, they had tacitly allowed the God Clan to turn the Tianyuan Sect's territory into hunting grounds, making every living creature and cultivator there prey for the Void Beasts. Now...
They themselves were enjoying the same treatment.
"Void Beasts!"
Li Xian watched the Nine Heavens Sacred Ground while sensing the azure light surging endlessly toward him from all around.
It was the light emitted by countless Void Beasts.
That light constantly eroded his mind and will, seeking to devour him with nihility, emptiness, and oblivion.
But...
Having comprehended his "True Self," he had, in a sense, already attained an immortal spirit.
At most, his essence and qi were lagging behind, keeping this state of "immortal spirit" from enduring forever as an Immortal Golden Immortal truly could.
But for dealing with Void Beasts...
It was more than enough.
Even surrounded by countless trillions of Void Beasts for eight or ten years, he would not have to worry about his mind and will sinking into nihility and being devoured. Of course, he meant the Void Beasts before
