In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed, and Li Xiaotian had arrived at the place where the great battle occurred in Luo Ya's memory.
The area was strewn with rubble, permeated with an aura of destruction, and the space was extremely unstable, with spatial rifts appearing intermittently.
Li Xiaotian couldn't help but be shocked. Were these scenes naturally formed by the peculiar nature of the Lost Realm, or were they the result of the great battle that had taken place here?
If it were the former, it would be fine. But if it were the latter, it would mean that the great battle that had erupted here previously must have been incredibly terrifying, otherwise, it wouldn't have persisted for two months without dissipating.
After all, this was the Void Universe, where space was incredibly resilient. Even with his full power, he could at most cause a slight spatial tremor.
One could imagine how powerful the combatants must have been if such a situation was caused by a battle.
Were they invincible mid-tier? Or high-tier?
Li Xiaotian searched the area cautiously. Regrettably, he had arrived too late, and there were no clues left behind.
Hmm?
Just as Li Xiaotian was feeling disappointed, his gaze suddenly sharpened, and in an instant, he was on a piece of shattered meteorite.
This meteorite looked like a small stone from afar, but upon reaching it, he realized its immense size.
This piece of meteorite was at least the size of a city.
Li Xiaotian arrived at the edge of the meteorite. The entire meteorite seemed to have been directly sliced apart, its edges incredibly smooth, like a mirror.
But this was not what concerned him. What concerned him was the faint trace of the Great Dao emanating from it.
"It's the Heaven-Slaying Saber Technique!"
Li Xiaotian's heart filled with joy, and he became excited.
This was the Heaven-Slaying Saber Technique of the Gu family. If he hadn't practiced the Heaven-Slaying Saber Technique before, he wouldn't have been able to sense that faint trace of the Great Dao.
"Found you!"
Li Xiaotian's heart surged with excitement. The Heaven-Slaying Saber Technique, created by the ancient ancestor Gu, meant that this saber strike was made by that person.
Instantly, Li Xiaotian felt enlightened. He had finally found a clue, which meant he was in the right place.
"It's Senior Gu!"
Li Xiaotian muttered excitedly, but then he frowned.
This saber strike was left behind two months ago, which meant that Gu had already departed. He had only found evidence of his presence here, but he still had no idea where he had gone.
This was the Lost Realm, where there was no sense of direction. What he could do now was choose a direction and continue moving forward.
But this was undoubtedly like searching for a needle in a haystack. He had followed Luo Ya's memory to find this place. Without Luo Ya's memory, even with his faint premonition, he might not have been able to arrive here so accurately.
In the void, once the wrong direction was chosen, even a slight deviation would lead to a vast difference in the end.
The void was too vast, both horizontally and vertically, extending boundlessly.
Li Xiaotian sighed, suppressing his excitement, and began searching the area again.
Since he had found traces of Gu, perhaps there were others. Of course, it would be even better if he could find the direction they left.
Half a day later, Li Xiaotian returned to the meteorite dejectedly. Besides Gu's traces, he had found three other clues.
One of them was somewhat familiar; it was the aura of Yue, the ancestor of the Yue family, the ancestor of his wife Ye Qingmei.
But that was all.
They were all residual auras.
They definitely hadn't left this place; they must have encountered a formidable enemy. At this time, lingering in the Lost Realm and evading enemies was clearly the best option.
Li Xiaotian analyzed the situation. The residual traces of the battle indicated that Gu and the other seniors had encountered a formidable enemy, and that enemy was incredibly powerful.
If he were Gu and the others, being entangled by such a terrifying enemy, he would not choose to return to Kyushu, but rather to engage the enemy in the Lost Realm.
Li Xiaotian frowned, realizing that he had encountered the worst-case scenario.
Previously, he had thought that Yuan and Gu's prolonged absence from Kyushu was due to the vast distance, and their return journey simply took a long time.
But now it seemed that was not the case. The distance from this place to Kyushu's previous location would take him at most half a year to return.
And based on the traces of battle, Yuan and Gu's strength far surpassed his own. With their strength, they could have returned to Kyushu in at most three months.
But their continued absence could only mean that they did not want to lead the enemy into Kyushu.
In this case, his coming to find Yuan and Gu might not be of much help; instead, he might become a burden to them.
What should he do? Continue searching or leave? Li Xiaotian pondered.
"Boom!"
At this moment, a spatial rift suddenly appeared in the void, and a figure stepped out from the rift.
Instantly, a terrifying pressure was transmitted to Li Xiaotian.
"Not good!"
Li Xiaotian's expression changed drastically, and without thinking, he fled.
The newcomer was powerful! So powerful that he didn't even dare to think of resisting.
"Finally found you! You ant, you killed my son, die!"
The newcomer was Luo Ya's father, that invincible mid-tier expert.
His eyes were bloodshot, filled with hatred, and the terrifying aura emanating from his body caused the surrounding space to tremble.
"Rumble!"
Instantly, an boundless expanse of seawater appeared in the void, engulfing everything, and Li Xiaotian was trapped within the water.
"Pfft!"
In just one exchange, Li Xiaotian couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, his entire body wracked with pain.
Too strong!
The terrifying power of the newcomer left him with no way to resist.
"Kill!"
Li Xiaotian roared, his body elongating to two thousand feet, and he instantly unleashed his devouring power, dissolving the oppressive force of the seawater.
"Boom!"
But immediately, a colossal palm condensed out of thin air from the surface of the sea, striking down at Li Xiaotian.
"Crack!"
Li Xiaotian's body emitted a loud cracking sound, revealing cracks, and in an instant, his entire body was covered in blood.
"Ant, why did you kill my son? How dare you?! Argh! I will skin you alive and destroy your world!"
Luo Ya's father, Luo Tian, roared, his actions becoming increasingly frantic.
"Old man, your son attacked me first. I was forced to kill him in self-defense. This is how the Void Universe is. He was weaker, so he died!"
Li Xiaotian roared, feeling indignant and incredibly frustrated.
He had just entered the Void Universe and killed a living being, only to provoke a mid-tier expert. This was truly unlucky.
"Bastard!! My son wanted to kill you, why did you dare to resist?!" Luo Tian roared, his giant palm grabbing Li Xiaotian's Ancient God body, intending to crush him bit by bit.
"No matter who you are, no matter your background, you will pay the price for my son's death!"
Li Xiaotian's expression was filled with pain as he rapidly contemplated a method of escape.
"Buzz."
Li Xiaotian took out Luo Ya's corpse and, without hesitation, activated its self-destruction.
"Bastard, how dare you!"
Upon seeing this, Luo Tian's eyes turned red. Another giant palm appeared on the sea, directly grasping for Luo Ya's corpse.
That was his son's corpse. Li Xiaotian daring to destroy his son's corpse in front of him only served to further enrage him.
