Xuan Qingzi possesses research materials on Divine Sense, and they have also recorded Li Xingkong's previous methods: his formidable physical strength, his ability to survive escaping weapons of mass destruction, and his exceptional learning and replication abilities.
These factors combined mean that ordinary attack methods and techniques will have almost no effect on Li Xingkong.
Whether it was the Snail People before or the last intergalactic war, the final destructive weapon was always secretly released, and almost always placed right in his face, yet Li Xingkong still survived.
Li Xingkong's previous replication method rendered ordinary human wave tactics ineffective; however many people could come, Li Xingkong could replicate that many teams, and human wave tactics could not contain him at all.
Taking all these factors into account, it would be extremely difficult to eliminate Li Xingkong.
With an ambush scene so blatantly displayed, it's impossible for it not to be suspicious.
However, no matter what, Li Xingkong wouldn't pretend he didn't see it. Now that he had realized his opponent's methods, it was best to eliminate them completely step by step.
Reaching out through the shadowy space, Li Xingkong removed the detected anchor point before continuing forward.
In response to the sense of spatial discontinuity, Li Xingkong sent those Golden Core constructs to investigate.
This thing is like a curtain folded up; you can tell something's wrong at a glance, but you can only see what's hidden inside by pulling it open.
Perhaps it was because Li Xingkong's action of removing the anchor point was too decisive, or perhaps it was just an appetizer, but when the Golden Core construct arrived at the hidden space and began to break through the space, no one interfered.
The thorough search for traps gave Li Xingkong the feeling of opening a blind box.
As space was torn open, the things hidden within were revealed, and the moment they were revealed, they activated on their own.
Li Xingkong reacted quickly and immediately recognized what it was.
It's the same type of destructive weapon used in the previous battle against the Phantom Legion, the kind that can cause space to collapse.
This time, however, these madmen had clearly gone all out, hiding this thing in several spatial folds, which triggered a chain reaction when it was deciphered.
A series of spatial shattering followed, and the construct that went forward to investigate was instantly torn into pieces.
Li Xingkong had anticipated this situation. He was far enough away from the construct that he had enough time to evacuate.
Transforming into golden light, Li Xingkong retreated a great distance the instant the weapons began to operate. By the time the Golden Core construct was split apart, he had already left the star system.
Watching the enormous galaxy before them being torn apart by an invisible spatial force, like a toy, planets and stars were split into several small pieces under this attack, then stirred into a mess due to their mass, and then slowly reassembled.
Just like stirring a pot of porridge with a spoon, the substances, large and small, started moving again in a rather regular way.
That's quite a generous portion of a side dish.
Perhaps if Li Xingkong hadn't touched it, this trap wouldn't have been triggered, leading to the destruction of an entire galaxy out of thin air.
But knowing there's a trap and not dealing with it is clearly not in Li Xingkong's character. Let it explode, anyway, it's not Li Xingkong who will feel sorry for it.
Bypassing the now chaotic galaxy, Li Xingkong continued forward. He hadn't even seen a trace of these people yet, and stopping here was not something Li Xingkong wanted.
These loyal followers of Xuan Qingzi were indeed very well prepared, perhaps because they had a powerful backer. Li Xingkong continued forward, and in the next few star systems, there were traps, and the ways they were set up were varied.
Xuan Qingzi used the same old tactics, constantly experimenting with different tech trees in an attempt to find Li Xingkong's weakness.
Moreover, besides the area along the way, Li Xingkong discovered that a large area of star systems in the vicinity had actually been set up, clearly becoming a minefield suspended in space.
If nothing unexpected happens, they might also have a remote detonator, which they'll use to detonate the entire star sector once Li Xingkong has penetrated deeper, leaving Li Xingkong no room to escape.
Fortunately, Li Xingkong's Divine Sense had advanced enough to cover a wide enough area, which allowed him to detect that something was wrong.
Holding the Heaven and Earth Mountain-Severing Divine Light in his hand, Li Xingkong severed the connection between the swept-over traps and the outside world. Only then did he personally pick out the destructive weapons among them, like picking peaches, and stuff them into his own space.
These people are really kind; they just throw this thing away like that.
He took a few of them and gave them to the Niwan Palace for analysis, while Li Xingkong kept the rest of the bombs.
Perhaps it was Li Xingkong's nonchalant act of collecting the bombs that angered those observing him from behind, for a faint signal spread out, and bombs throughout the minefield were triggered one after another.
Although the explosion seemed earth-shattering, massive and unstoppable, Li Xingkong was actually waiting for this signal to appear.
Although he had Baili Qiu's intelligence support, he only knew the composition of the ambush team, but not their current location. Finding them would still require some effort.
But once this signal is sent, things will be different.
With it, Li Xingkong could locate the source of the transmitted signal and launch a direct attack.
The surrounding galaxies were still in turmoil, and even the galaxy where Li Xingkong landed was ejected with a large amount of matter, causing a peculiar phenomenon.
But Li Xingkong had no time to appreciate it; based on the signal just now, he had firmly pinpointed its source.
The surrounding space was already dilapidated, like the sea surface caught in a storm. At this moment, no one would choose to jump through space; that would be like dancing on a knife's edge, and one wrong move would drown them in the shattered ocean.
But Li Xingkong still casually tore open a hole and went straight in.
Since his last advanced studies, Li Xingkong's understanding of space has reached a new level. If the turbulent space is a raging ocean, then he is now a floating island rooted in the deep sea. No matter how turbulent the ocean is, it cannot shake him in the slightest.
Just because others can't walk a path doesn't mean he can't. Just because others can't open a door doesn't mean he can come and go as he pleases.
The bomb's detonation was perfectly timed, causing spatial turbulence that cut off the escape route for those who had sent the signal.
Without spatial warp, relying solely on navigation to change positions, they would absolutely not escape Li Xingkong's pursuit.
