"Heaven Mend Saint Lord, you are not a match for me. Hurry up and leave!" The Heaven Snake Beast Sovereign let out a stern yell.

"Heaven Snake Beast Sovereign, it is impossible for you to swallow this great desolate earth energy crystal alone."

If it was something else, the Heaven Mend Saint Lord wouldn't fight for it, but he had to obtain this great desolate earth energy crystal. It was several times more valuable than a peak-grade earth energy crystal.

"You are asking for death."

The Heaven Snake Beast Sovereign sent the Heaven Mend Saint Lord flying with a blast and just as he was going to continue the ruthless attacks, he suddenly saw Li Fuchen and Yan Qingwu flying over.

"I am taking the great desolate earth energy crystal." Li Fuchen said indifferently.

"Sword Saint Lord, you and I are both from the human race. It isn't appropriate to do this right?!" The Heaven Mend Saint Lord frowned while saying with dissatisfaction.

The Heaven Mend Saint Lord didn't think that Li Fuchen was saving his life, if he wanted to leave, the Heaven Snake Beast Sovereign wouldn't be able to stop him.

Li Fuchen said, "An item without an owner shall belong to the fateful individual. You shouldn't be so insistent, Heaven Mend Saint Lord."

The Heaven Mend Saint Lord's eyes flickered multiple times before he took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I shall give up out of respect to you."

With the Heaven Snake Beast Sovereign and Li Fuchen coveting for the great desolate earth energy crystal, it wasn't possible for the Heaven Mend Saint Lord to obtain it. Why not take a step back and observe before deciding to snatch it or not?

If the Heaven Snake Beast Sovereign and Li Fuchen were both injured, he might be able to take advantage of it.

"Sword Saint Lord, do you think I am afraid of you?" The Heaven Snake Beast Sovereign was never going to give up on the great desolate earth energy crystal.

His strength was just slightly inferior to Li Fuchen and he was willing to take the risk for the great desolate earth energy crystal.

"Stubborn." Li Fuchen sneered and executed Sword Sea Horizon.

A silver sword sea instantly engulfed the Heaven Snake Beast Sovereign and there wasn't any chance for reaction.

When inside the sword sea, the Heaven Snake Beast Sovereign was horrified. His body was gradually getting destroyed and it was irreversible.

"No!"

Seeing that his body was turned to ashes and only left with the beast spirit, the Heaven Snake Beast Sovereign let out an unyielding roar.

It was unfortunate that everything was futile. Under the ravage of the sword sea, the beast spirit was also destroyed and all life was extinguished.

"One sword to kill the Heaven Snake Beast Sovereign?" The Heaven Mend Saint Lord gasped with cold air.

The Heaven Snake Beast Sovereign was a peak-tier beast sovereign and being able to kill him in a single sword meant that Li Fuchen's strength was already at the level of the Jade Star Saint Lord. The Jade Star Saint Lord was a peak level saint lord.

How could he have known that Li Fuchen's strength was no longer the same as before?

The current Li Fuchen's bone frame had transformed to the 9-star sword dao bone frame, giving him a great increase in sword dao attack power.

At the same time, Li Fuchen's sword art was several times stronger than the time he fought with the Heaven Snake Beast Sovereign the previous time.

Li Fuchen had yet to use the Sect Origin Sword and Sky Dao Divine Line Sword, otherwise, the power would be greater.

"Run!"

The Heaven Mend Saint Lord was afraid that Li Fuchen might be intoxicated by the kill and would kill him together, therefore, he quickly escaped.

"As compared to you, most of us are just regular people. We cannot even be considered prodigies."

Yan Qingwu knew that Li Fuchen was powerful, but Yan Qingwu didn't expect Li Fuchen's strength to be at this level.

Li Fuchen said, "Set your sights further. It is nothing to be invincible in the Deep Blue Plane. The massive universe has so many more people that are stronger than me."

According to what Li Fuchen knew, heaven lords were separated on many levels too. Regular heaven lords, city lord-level heaven lords, star domain-level heaven lords.

If it was anyone else, they might be immeasurably self-satisfied, but Li Fuchen wasn't.

His sights were much further than regular people, he didn't think that the golden talisman's expectation for him was to stop at heaven lord or half-god. Perhaps the golden talisman's expectation was for him to reach the god realm.

"When standing at different heights, the angle of sight is different too."

Yan Qingwu understood Li Fuchen's mentality, but she wasn't able to experience it with her current strength.

After letting out a breath, there was a flash of fighting spirit deep in Yan Qingwu's eyes.

If she wanted to be Li Fuchen's companion, she would need to be at least a peak level saint. Only then, she would be able to live for a long time.

She had a very mystical relationship with Li Fuchen.

They were both able to feel each other's feelings, but they would maintain this delicate distance. If nothing happened to push them, they would probably take a very long time before they would become dao companions.

But neither of them was in a hurry. At their level, they cared most for emotional enjoyment and not the so-called status.

The great desolate earth energy crystal might also be an earth energy crystal, but the attribute was close to the primal chaos.

Different daos also had different levels. A regular earth sword dao would be a 2nd rate sword dao at its best, while the unbounded sword dao and primary extreme sword dao were supreme rate sword daos. There was a difference that could never be compensated.

But it was a primal chaos earth sword dao, it would become a supreme rate sword dao.

In short, anything that had the primal chaos attribute would be entirely different.

The great desolate earth energy crystal might not be comparable with the primal chaos earth energy crystal, but it was already incredible.

After keeping the great desolate earth energy crystal, Li Fuchen and Yan Qingwu continued to explore this great desolate world.

…

With the strength of a peak level saint lord, Li Fuchen was unmatched in the great desolate world.

For the next few days, Li Fuchen obtained over 30 great desolate pearls and two great desolate treasures.

Apart from the great desolate earth energy crystal, the other great desolate treasure was a small sapling that was brimming with unlimited vitality.

Li Fuchen suspected if this sapling could be the legendary Tree of Life.

Legends stated that the Tree of Life could produce life and also revive life.

Of course, it was only a sapling state now, more observations were needed to know if it was a real Tree of Life.

Furthermore, even if it was the Tree of Life, a tedious process would be required to nurture it to its mature state. Without the capability of a heaven lord, no one could afford to nurture it.

"The great desolate beasts are getting stronger."

Li Fuchen didn't know if these were demonic beasts. Demonic beasts would awaken innate abilities after reaching a certain class, but these great desolate beasts were only able to execute simple attacks.

But the great desolate beasts had tough defenses as a peak-tier great desolate beast overlord could already block Li Fuchen's regular attack.

If it was a great desolate beast sovereign, Li Fuchen wouldn't be able to kill it with a single full-powered attack, he would need over a dozen attacks to kill it.

But Li Fuchen could see that these great desolate beasts didn't die, they merely returned back to the great desolate world. After a period of time, they would be born again. However, it was unknown if they would be reborn with the same strength as before.

…

In a certain place of the great desolate world, there was a grand palace.

The grand palace was like the palace of a god, there were two great desolate beast statues by the gate. They looked like lions and rhinoceros, they had a pair of wings that could cover the sun.

At the palace plaza, there were three beast sovereigns and two saint lords gathered there.

The three beast sovereigns were the Sky Patrol Beast Sovereign, Black Rock Beast Sovereign, and an unknown beast sovereign.

The two saint lords were the Jade Star Saint Lord, and the Zhu Clan's no.1 ancestor, Heaven Fire Saint Lord Zhu Sanqiu.
