Chapter 861 - 861: Above the Divine Altar
Li Muyang gritted his teeth and ran with all his might, trying to reach the base of the stone mountain before the battle in the east ended.
As long as he could reach the base of the stone mountain before the battle ended, it wouldn’t matter if the Netherworld Saint Spirit retreated and the battle concluded, leading the divine beasts to return to their nests.
He would still be able to clear the level.
After all, the actions of the Netherworld Saint Spirit in attacking the island’s barrier had drawn away all the divine beasts.
Now, the stone mountain was without divine beasts, and the Little Wild Grass statue on the divine altar was completely defenseless against Li Muyang!
Grabbing the Little Wild Grass statue would allow him to clear the level and go home!
Within the blood mist, Li Muyang darted swiftly.
Behind him, divine beasts in the eastern sky went berserk, madly attacking the island barrier, even though they couldn’t cause any damage to it.
In the deep space beyond the island, several True Immortal-level powerful beings were locked in fierce combat.
Brilliant lights continuously rose, mysterious spells shook time and space, and the Yin Life Book, a treasure from The Peaceful Realms, flashed and unleashed great power.
The Netherworld Saint Spirit even summoned another Holy Artifact from The Peaceful Realms.
Using its strength alone, it was able to resist six Otherworldly Demon Gods and still had leftover strength to strike the island barrier.
In the midst of the battle, occasionally, golden light would flash and crash into the barrier of Outer Realm Island, attempting to expand the cracks on the barrier.
Li Muyang felt his scalp tingle as he observed the commotion behind him.
“This Netherworld Saint Spirit is just bonkers.”
Singly opposing six True Immortal-level Otherworldly Demon Gods… is this the strongest power of The Peaceful Realms?
Since that great calamity descended ten thousand years ago, there probably hasn’t been a battle at this level on this planet.
Even though it was separated by the island’s barrier and over tens of thousands of miles away.
The aftermath of the battle behind him still shook the entire island, causing the rapidly running Li Muyang on the island to be shocked.
He knew very well that if he wanted to save the world, then the Otherworldly Demon God of the Deep Space Temple, the Ancient Evil Gods of the Ancient Resentment Well, and even the Netherworld Saint Spirit were enemies.
But having witnessed the terrifying power of the Netherworld Saint Spirit… how the hell could he fight this?
Even if he resurrected the Little Wild Grass, he probably still couldn’t defeat the Netherworld Saint Spirit one-on-one.
“I need to find a way to enhance my power.”
Li Muyang muttered to himself, pondering as he flew at high speed.
At this moment, he was immensely grateful for having saved the Ghost Moon Fox at all costs earlier.
No matter what, the Ghost Moon Fox was also a True Immortal-level entity, a divine being of The Peaceful Realms.
Though it might not be willing to help fight the Netherworld Saint Spirit, in a situation of last resort, asking it to help fight against the Otherworldly Demon God should be possible, right?
After all, it owed Li Muyang a huge favor.
But having only one Ghost Moon Fox wasn’t enough to reverse the situation.
How could he enhance his True Immortal-level power…
Li Muyang pondered.
At this moment, he remembered the Dragon God Fairy in the mist.
The power of the Dragon God Fairy was unknown, but could it be of True Immortal-level?
As his mind pondered, Li Muyang navigated through the blood mist.
Behind him, the battle raged on incessantly, with the Netherworld Saint Spirit intermittently striking the island’s barrier.
But the siege by the six Otherworldly Demon Gods was not to be underestimated.
The frequency of the Netherworld Saint Spirit’s strikes on the barrier gradually decreased, but it still did not leave and continued the battle with the Otherworldly Demon Gods.
And as long as the Netherworld Saint Spirit didn’t leave, the divine beasts gathered on the eastern side of the island, seeing hope of escape still there, also refused to leave.
Li Muyang moved unimpeded through the blood mist. Although exotic beasts occasionally appeared to attack, gradually Li Muyang also discerned the pattern of these exotic beasts’ appearances.
He would soon be able to avoid them in advance.
The sun in the sky gradually dimmed, and the planet next to the Outer Realm Island slowly revolved.
Finally, the sun was blocked by the planet, and the Outer Realm Island was engulfed in darkness.
Li Muyang finally rushed out of the last area where the blood mist surged and arrived at the foot of the tall and towering stone mountain.
This stone mountain was majestic and grand, but only ten thousand meters high.
Li Muyang directly soared into the sky and quickly flew to the top of the stone mountain.
At the mountain top, there was a huge platform, with a magnificent divine altar at its center.
Beneath the divine altar were two brilliant nests, clearly the resting places of two divine beasts.
But now, these two divine beasts were gone.
Li Muyang rushed unimpeded onto the divine altar and saw the statues offered on it.
One lifelike Little Wild Grass statue appeared before him, causing Li Muyang to be ecstatic.
“Finally arrived…”
The moment he stepped on the divine altar, Li Muyang’s body suddenly shuddered.
A huge tremor swept across the entire Outer Realm Island.
Behind Li Muyang to the east, brilliant light pierced the darkness, and numerous divine beasts let out excited and frantic roars.
Li Muyang was startled upon hearing this commotion and quickly turned back.
Under the continuous strikes of the Netherworld Saint Spirit, the cracks on the barrier of the Outer Realm Island finally expanded, splitting open a several thousand-meter-long breach.
The moment the breach appeared, the divine beasts gathered at the edge of the island went berserk.
All the divine beasts desperately charged towards this breach, trying to break free and escape.
Outside the breach, the Otherworldly Demon Gods were fuming with rage.
Seeing the seal of the Outer Realm Island broken, these Otherworldly Demon Gods finally got truly furious.
They howled one after another, revealing their hideous and terrifying true forms.
The intensity of the battle in deep space escalated once more.
While the crazed divine beasts frantically dashed towards the breach in the barrier, soon several divine beasts broke out.
The remaining divine beasts viciously attacked each other, fighting for the escape path through the breach.
The laughter of the Netherworld Saint Spirit suddenly rang out in deep space.
“Hahahahah… hahahahah…”
It laughed heartily, seemingly extremely joyful at the sight of the divine beasts’ frantic escape.
Li Muyang’s heart skipped a beat, and he dared not delay any further.
The Netherworld Saint Spirit was seemingly planning to run away!
The Otherworldly Demon Gods had gone berserk and were about to go all out.
This sacred yet ugly Netherworld creature clearly didn’t want a desperate fight and was preparing to leave.
Once the Netherworld Saint Spirit left, the Otherworldly Demon Gods would be quick to repair the cracks on the barrier of the Outer Realm Island.
By that time, with all the divine beasts returning to their nests, Li Muyang would be done for.
Thinking this, Li Muyang immediately went forward, flying directly towards the Fairy Qinghe statue in front of him.
The moment he touched the first Little Wild Grass statue, a system prompt popped up in front of him.
[Fairy Qinghe statue discovered]
[Do you wish to collect it?]
[Yes/No]
With the system prompt appearing in his vision, Li Muyang didn’t hesitate a bit and immediately chose to collect it.
The purpose of his game this time was precisely for the Little Wild Grass statues.
How could he not collect them now?
But unfortunately, the Half-Evil Dragon’s body was too small.
He could only collect one statue at a time.
Yet, there were several dozen Little Wild Grass statues on the divine altar.
Once Li Muyang collected all the Little Wild Grass statues and stored them in the game warehouse, a system prompt popped up in front of him.
[Completed side quest: Find the Fairy Qinghe statue]
The system prompt in his vision left Li Muyang stunned for a moment.
“Just a side quest?”
But then, he helplessly shook his head.
“Oh well, a side quest it is.”
This game was supported by the Thousand-Eyed Blood God, who wanted Li Muyang to use the Blood God’s assistance to clean up the mess on the Outer Realm Island, erasing the fierce evil qi left by the Thousand-Eyed Blood God before death.
Collecting the Little Wild Grass statue was indeed just a side quest.
Gathering all the Little Wild Grass statues alone couldn’t end the game.
But at least the system opened a backdoor this time.
Li Muyang looked at the pile of Little Wild Grass statues in the system interface and saw that these statues had the [Extract] option.
[Do you want to extract them to reality?]
Even though the game hadn’t been cleared, he could send items into reality through the game protagonist…
Li Muyang took a deep breath and immediately chose to extract.
In any case, thanks to the Netherworld Saint Spirit’s interference, he finally gathered all the statues!
