" The Nether River is a veteran immortal. This guy relies on his strength, and even the name of our Jade Void is useless to him. As long as the Nether River becomes active, he will devour people from all sides without hesitation."
"This guy is all alone; he only has himself to worry about, so of course he won't care about so many things."
As the group moved and discussed, the crimson ocean below them suddenly trembled, and huge waves tens of meters high surged up from the previously calm surface.
"Damn it, we need to hurry. We're almost at the second stage of the awakening period. If we don't hurry, the Asura will come out to sea to hunt."
Upon seeing the scene in the sea below, the leading cultivator unleashed a burst of Magic Power, instantly increasing the speed of the entire formation significantly.
However, the man's Magic Power was clearly being rapidly depleted under this high-intensity acceleration.
Although Nascent Soul cultivators possess inexhaustible energy, each person's cultivation method is different, resulting in variations in the amount of Magic Power they can release simultaneously.
With such consumption, the cultivator's supply of Magic Power clearly experienced a break.
The other cultivators in the formation also began to operate at full capacity, and the formation's flight speed increased several times over once again.
"Is this Asura very strong?"
Li Xingkong a little curious; was this a creature that lived in the Nether River?
" The Asura Race aren't particularly strong, but once they get involved, they're like maggots clinging to a bone—extremely difficult to deal with. If we drag this out until the Nether River awakens, we won't be able to escape."
Having learned quite a bit of information from the group, and given that they were also disciples of the Jade Void Palace, Li Xingkong decided not to pretend in such an urgent situation.
He reached out and grabbed them all in his hand, as if he had Heaven and Earth in the Sleeve.
"Alright, gentlemen, we are all members of the Jade Void Sect. Leave the rest to me."
The group, who were initially anxious, were suddenly imprisoned using such methods. Just as they were about to struggle, they heard Li Xingkong's words.
Li Xingkong extended his Divine Sense and instantly located the nearest coastline.
At their current speed, it will probably take them several more days to fly.
Holding the group in his hands, Li Xingkong transformed into a conceptual form, taking only one step forward to reach the bank of the Nether River.
The group was held in Li Xingkong's hands, and they felt as if their surroundings had been torn apart for a moment. After they recovered, they realized that the Nether River was no longer beneath their feet, and they were standing on solid ground.
How could they not understand? They had encountered a celestial being.
They exchanged glances, and finally the leading cultivator stepped forward and was about to kneel down before Li Xingkong.
Li Xingkong used his Divine Sense to support him.
"Hey, what are you doing? We're all members of the Jade Void Sect, how can we ignore your crisis?"
"That's true, but without your help, we would have perished here."
"You also helped me familiarize myself with the battlefield environment, so how can that not be considered mutual assistance?"
Li Xingkong insisted that they not perform the ceremony, so they had no choice but to give up.
"I still don't know the names of your brothers."
They were among the first people I met on the battlefield, so it's good to get to know them.
"I am a member of the Flame Emperor Clan from the Three Sovereigns Era."
The man in the lead clasped his hands in a fist salute. Li Xingkong examined his appearance closely and found that he did indeed resemble an ancient person.
"My name is Yisu, Youchao Kingdom during the Wu Zhou dynasty."
Then this person was adorned with very ornate bronze ornaments, like a high priest from Sanxingdui, and the bronze mask looked somewhat sinister.
However, the last woman was somewhat different.
He hadn't noticed her closely during the flight, but now that they were in a safe place, Li Xingkong realized the incongruous scent emanating from her.
She seemed to have come from the future; her clothing and magical artifacts all exuded a sense of technology.
" Yu Fufu, citizen of Mount Yan Planet, Quantum Era."
The three people, though traveling together, came from three different eras.
Li Xingkong recalled what Yuanjun had said when he arrived: in this Eternal Battlefield, the past and the future intertwine, and it is impossible to know what era the people he encounters come from.
"My name is Li Xingkong, from... Just kidding, I really don't know what to call my era."
"That's alright. Senior will find out everything once you arrive at our Jade Void Sect's base."
Just as they were talking, Li Xingkong sensed a massive burst of power of rules, within which were countless tiny, conceptual threads.
The entire Nether River Styx churned.
The river level rose rapidly at a visible speed, and in just a few breaths, even the sky was no longer visible. All that could be seen was blood-red seawater.
Countless bloody hands reached out from the seawater and seized all the creatures still within the waters.
Within Li Xingkong's Divine Sense sense, not a single living creature could escape its clutches.
"How cruel."
Li Xingkong really couldn't bear to watch such a scene of indiscriminate killing, where right and wrong were not distinguished.
"Cruel my ass, don't you eat?"
Li Xingkong didn't expect that his simple complaint would actually elicit a response from someone.
Several cultivators were quite frightened by the sudden sound, and their entire Magic Power became alert. Li Xingkong, on the other hand, found the source of the sound and stared intently at the Nether River in front of him.
A blood-red figure emerged from the Nether River, and after leaving the Nether River, it transformed into the appearance of an old man.
Wearing a Daoist robe covered in blood-red patterns and carrying a blood-red whisk, the figure simply walked up to Li Xingkong and stopped.
"I'll eat, but I won't be so frivolous."
The visitor was an immortal.
Li Xingkong sensed the immense Immortal Power within him.
The movements of the Nether River are inextricably linked to him.
"Hey, if it weren't for my agreement with those guys, I'd have eaten you up for that. You little brat, who knows what kind of background you have, thinks you can boss me around just because you've become Human Immortal?"
The Nether River looked like a sage, but the words he spoke had a vulgar quality.
"Senior, aren't you afraid of provoking other immortals to target you by doing this?"
Li Xingkong wasn't angry at his words. Firstly, the other side was very strong, and secondly, as cruel as it was, it had nothing to do with Li Xingkong.
"Others? Other immortals are far more ruthless than me. At least here, my place has a price list; if you don't want to be eaten, don't come."
The Daoist priest laughed.
"If you go anywhere else, you'll die without even knowing how you died."
"No wonder you're just a remnant of the old era; there's no place for you in the new age."
Behind Li Xingkong, Yu Fufu made a timely comment, which was then covered by a cultivator next to him.
"Hahahaha, your little brain is useless, just sell it."
The Daoist priest didn't get angry; instead, he laughed.
"This Era of Chaos is rife with war; it's a treasure trove for us War Immortals. You can't drive me away, but other eras? There's no fighting. Even after tens of thousands of years, not a True Immortal might disintegrate. What would I eat?"
"You're like a monkey in a greenhouse, you don't know anything. All the battles of all eras will erupt in the Era of Chaos. As long as I hold onto this one era, there will be plenty of prey."
"You're all just vegetables. Have you ever seen a farmer ruin a vegetable garden?"
The Daoist priest had clearly revealed his classification of the world in his words.
The peaceful era is like vegetables growing in a garden; only in the Era of Chaos is it a paradise for cultivators like them.
