Chapter 329: Taiyi Celestial Sovereign?

In the jungle, Songgu Ying glanced back at the quickly fleeing Xiaobai. By the time she turned around, her eyes were filled with determination.

"You beasts of the demon tribe, I will fight you to the end…"

Soon, the two sides met, and Songgu Ying immediately launched an attack on several demon tribe beings.

Seeing her attack, the demon beings scattered, quickly avoiding Songgu Ying’s strikes.

One demon tried to circle around to chase the Unicorn, but was desperately blocked by Songgu Ying.

Not far away, Li Xiaojun was observing everything with his divine sense.

He noticed that when the woman fought desperately, her attack power and speed were much stronger than those of the demon beings.

However, this outburst rapidly consumed her immortal essence.

Although the demon beings were only at the True Immortal realm, they appeared to handle the situation with ease.

They did not confront Songgu Ying directly; if she attacked one, that demon focused solely on evading.

Meanwhile, the others consistently harassed Songgu Ying.

In such circumstances, Songgu Ying could not catch the demons or hit them; she could only watch her immortal essence drain quickly.

Nearby,

Li Xiaojun continuously scanned the situation of the demon beings with his divine sense, when suddenly, he discovered something astonishing.

He found that the demons possessed something resembling beads that could release an energy completely opposite to immortal essence, allowing the demons to absorb it to replenish their waning energy.

"What are those things, and how can they release energy in this place?"

Li Xiaojun was very surprised.

He had long recognized that even the spiritual energy within immortal essence stones could not be absorbed here.

Moreover, storage gear like storage rings could not be used, as Songgu Ying and the Unicorn had collected their Spiritual Items in packages.

When the Unicorn fled, it carried a bundle around its neck.

Additionally, it was challenging to use long-range attacks with immortal tools and treasures, because even Li Xiaojun found it very difficult to employ the rule of space while using the Sword Control Technique.

Let alone the Human Race woman of the Profound Immortal realm and the True Immortal demon beings.

This was also why several True Immortal demons could toy with the Human Race of the Profound Immortal realm.

If Songgu Ying could use long-range attacks here, the True Immortal demons would have been defeated long ago.

…

Under Li Xiaojun’s watchful eye, after a prolonged battle, Songgu Ying’s immortal essence dwindled alarmingly.

Meanwhile, the magic essence of the demon beings also decreased but was being replenished.

As long as the energy within their beads was not exhausted, they had no worries about running out of magic essence.

On the ground, as the battle continued, the despair on Songgu Ying’s face deepened.

Just when her immortal essence was about to run out, her determination intensified.

In the next moment, she decided to self-detonate.

Because self-detonation could turn her body into ashes, ensuring that the demon tribe would not disgrace her after death.

Just as Songgu Ying prepared to self-detonate, she suddenly sensed a powerful divine sense wave.

“Hold on, I’m coming to save you.”

Upon hearing this, Songgu Ying felt an instant surge of joy.

In the next moment, her divine sense perception detected a figure flying rapidly toward her.

Seeing this, Songgu Ying felt ecstatic, her face shining with the joy of having survived.

The figure flying toward her was none other than Li Xiaojun.

At the same time that Songgu Ying spotted Li Xiaojun, several demon beings also noticed his presence.

When they saw Li Xiaojun flying in the sky, the faces of all the demons changed greatly.

“Human Race Taiyi, run!”

In the next moment, several demon beings instinctively fled in various directions.

“Hmph!”

Li Xiaojun let out a cold snort as a golden stream of light shot toward the demon beings.

Puff, puff, puff, puff, puff…

In an instant, the demon beings were completely eliminated by Li Xiaojun.

Although using the Sword Control Technique here was quite challenging and his flying speed was less than a fraction of its peak, it was still easy to deal with demons who couldn’t even fly.

“Junior Songgu Ying pays respects to the Taiyi Celestial Sovereign.”

When Li Xiaojun arrived in front of Songgu Ying, she immediately bowed respectfully to him.

“Taiyi Celestial Sovereign?”

Li Xiaojun was surprised to hear Songgu Ying’s words.

Could it be that she mistook him for a Taiyi Golden Immortal?

“Do you think I am a Taiyi Golden Immortal?”

Li Xiaojun directly asked Songgu Ying.

“Isn’t that the case, Senior?”

“Why do you think I am a Taiyi Golden Immortal?” Li Xiaojun asked again.

“Senior, being able to fly in the Land of Divine Fall and use a flying sword to attack, isn’t that what a Taiyi Celestial Sovereign does?”

“Can’t a Golden Immortal do that?” Li Xiaojun questioned.

Hearing this, Songgu Ying shook her head: “Although Golden Immortals are powerful, they also cannot fly in the Land of Divine Fall, let alone use a flying sword. Only a Taiyi Celestial Sovereign can fly and attack here.”

After speaking, Songgu Ying, feeling somewhat weak, said to Li Xiaojun: “Senior, may I ask you for a favor?”

“What favor?” Li Xiaojun asked lightly.

Noticing that Li Xiaojun hadn’t directly refused, Songgu Ying thought for a moment and said: “Senior, my immortal essence is about to run out, and I will soon die. I hope that after I pass, you can burn my body; I don’t want my body to be used as nourishment for plants…”

“How much longer can you hold on?”

Before Songgu Ying finished speaking, Li Xiaojun interrupted her.

“What?”

“I said, how much longer can you hold on?” Li Xiaojun continued to ask.

“I have, at most, a few minutes,” Songgu Ying responded with a bitter smile.

Hearing her words, Li Xiaojun thought for a moment and said: “I might be able to take you back; do you want to give it a try?”

“When people die, they know nothing. There’s no need for you, Senior, to take my body out; it will consume a lot of your immortal essence, so…”

“Are your ears stuffed with donkey hair? I mean that I might be able to take you out alive.” Li Xiaojun glared at Songgu Ying.

“Senior, you really can?” Songgu Ying asked in disbelief.

Hearing this, Li Xiaojun didn’t want to waste more words; he took action immediately.

“Spatial seal…”

Li Xiaojun used the ability of the rule of space on Songgu Ying.

Here, once the immortal essence is depleted, the Immortal’s body transforms into a physical entity, and in this environment, stronger than a super black hole, it would be crushed into a puddle of mud; even the primordial spirit would be shattered.

Li Xiaojun used the spatial seal to lock down the space around Songgu Ying with his powerful strength, preventing her from being crushed by gravity even if her immortal essence was exhausted and she turned into a physical entity.

As Li Xiaojun sealed the space around Songgu Ying, he instantly felt his immortal essence rapidly draining at a hundred times the normal rate.

Seeing this, despite being somewhat prepared, Li Xiaojun still gasped in shock.

If it weren’t for his system, which could replenish his immortal essence, at this rate of consumption, he wouldn’t survive long without losing all his immortal essence.
