In the secret realm, Li Xiaotian and the black-clothed Dragon Horse stood where they had entered. They were preparing to leave.
The Dragon Horse let out a low growl, pawing the ground with its hooves, its eyes filled with pride. It had broken through to the Overlord realm, its strength greatly increased. Its confidence surged, and after leaving this place, who would dare capture it as a mount?
Li Xiaotian glanced at the Dragon Horse, a smile playing on his lips. This trip had been immensely fruitful.
The Dragon Horse had devoured so much demonic energy that Li Xiaotian had only converted a fifth of its energy for it, and the creature had already broken through to the Overlord realm.
The rest of the energy, in its current state, it couldn't absorb. Therefore, the Dragon Horse's color remained black. But this was good, at least until it had fully digested the demonic energy within it, it would stay by Li Xiaotian's side.
"Quickly open the exit, this lord will go out to get revenge! I've decided, I'll take that purple-clothed pretty boy as my mount. I'll ride him!"
The Dragon Horse's tone was full of arrogance. Its greatly increased strength made it look down on any opponent, giving it the illusion of being invincible.
Li Xiaotian's lips twitched slightly. He couldn't be bothered to deal with the creature. He wondered if the purple-clothed youth was still alive. But whether he died or not, he was certain that outside, a perfect trap would have been set, waiting for him to fall into it.
Fortunately, his Golden Body had been achieved, and his realm had reached the mid-Overlord stage. His strength was already several times greater than before, and he was in need of a great battle to test his current abilities.
"Alright, prepare to leave!"
Li Xiaotian said in a deep voice, his expression serious. He simultaneously cast a spell to open the exit. The Dragon Horse beside him also became solemn.
The surrounding space shook violently, and a portal flickered into existence before their eyes. The exit was about to appear.
At the same time, in the outside world, the area for dozens of miles around where Li Xiaotian had disappeared had already been flattened. The surrounding mountain peaks had all been moved and were now situated on the periphery, forming a circular wall that enclosed the area.
On the peaks of these mountains, every few of them, a figure sat cross-legged. At a glance, there were over twenty people, each exuding a powerful aura, all peak Emperor-level experts.
They seemed to have merged with the mountains beneath them, ready to set up a grand formation to seal this place at any moment.
In addition, within the circular wall, squads of giants, dozens of feet tall, patrolled back and forth. Ten in a team, they wore metal armor and wielded massive weapons. With every step, dust flew, and they resembled ancient beasts, exuding a fierce aura.
Ten teams, a total of one hundred giants, each with strength at or above the mid-Emperor level.
Simultaneously, in the sky, three figures floated, two men and one woman. Among them was a middle-aged man in black, Gu Ji, who had fought Li Xiaotian before.
The other man was bare-chested with a bald head. Compared to Gu Ji, his aura was bold and untamed, clearly another Overlord-level expert.
The woman, dressed in green, wore a white veil, her aura fluctuating unpredictably, as if she had merged with heaven and earth, her strength indistinguishable.
"Heh, three days. Gu Ji, are you sure the person who injured Young Master Chen is still here? Don't tell me they've already left."
In the sky, the bald man scoffed, his tone full of mockery as he spoke to Gu Ji.
Gu Ji frowned upon hearing this, not replying. To be honest, he wasn't sure if the outsider had already left. However, his young master had been severely injured, and he was unforgivable. If he didn't capture the one who injured his young master, he would surely be severely punished afterward. Thus, he could only gamble.
"You'd better pray that person reappears, so you can clear your name. Young Master Chen was seriously injured and almost died, yet you are unharmed. Heh heh, Gu Ji, don't you think there are too many loopholes in this matter?"
Seeing Gu Ji remain silent, the bald man continued to speak in a sarcastic tone, unfazed.
Gu Ji's expression instantly darkened. Killing intent flared in his eyes, and he stared at the bald man, saying in a cold voice.
"Gu Lie, what do you mean by what you said? Are you suspecting me?"
"Haha, you don't understand what I'm saying? Yes! I suspect you. With your late-stage Overlord strength, if Heavenly realm experts aren't involved, who could injure Young Master Chen right under your nose? Moreover, only you knew about Young Master Chen's itinerary, yet you encountered an outsider. Isn't that too coincidental?"
Gu Lie sneered, meeting Gu Ji's gaze with an expression full of provocation.
Boom!
A terrifying aura erupted from Gu Ji, and he stared fixedly at Gu Lie, gritting his teeth.
"You are courting death!"
"Hmph! What? Did I guess your thoughts correctly, so you're throwing a tantrum and want to silence me? Want to betray the tribe?"
Gu Lie sneered, completely unfazed. He knew Gu Ji wouldn't dare to make a move.
"You!!!"
"He's out!"
Just as Gu Ji was about to lose his temper, the green-clothed woman suddenly spoke, her gaze fixed on a spot on the ground where the space was trembling.
"Set up the formation!"
Seeing this, Gu Ji immediately roared, and his body rapidly grew to a hundred feet, transforming into his giant form.
"Hmph! Lucky you!"
Gu Lie snorted coldly, also transforming into a giant, his eyes fixed on the ground.
Hum!
At the same time, the experts on the surrounding mountain peaks erupted with power, and a beam of light enveloped the area, sealing the void.
Within the formation, the ten squads of giant warriors, weapons in hand, surrounded the area where the space was trembling. They were only fifty feet tall, appearing like children compared to Gu Ji and Gu Lie. However, with their hundred presences merged, they were no weaker than Gu Ji and Gu Lie.
In the sky, the green-clothed woman suddenly ascended, sitting cross-legged on the light barrier of the formation. Her aura merged with the formation, and a terrifying pressure emanated from her.
Simultaneously, on the ground, a spatial rift appeared, and Li Xiaotian and the Dragon Horse emerged from it.
Rumble!!!
Instantly, a thick bolt of lightning struck down from the formation, and the fists of the giants Gu Ji and Gu Lie followed closely behind.
"Li Xiaotian, you deal with these two giants. I'll take a slight disadvantage and deal with these hundred giants."
The Dragon Horse instantly disappeared from Li Xiaotian's side, leaving Li Xiaotian alone to face the two fists and the bolt of lightning.
Li Xiaotian smiled and shook his head. The foolish horse spoke nicely. Two hundred-foot giants, both late-stage Overlords, and that woman, a top-tier Overlord. They thought highly of him.
However, this was exactly what he wanted!
Boom!
Li Xiaotian let out a long roar and soared into the sky, ignoring the lightning striking down from above. He clenched his fists and charged towards the two hundred-foot giants, one after the other.
"Roar!!!"
On the other side, the Dragon Horse pawed the ground, its body also transforming to fifty feet in size. It charged into the formation of the hundred giants.
Boom!
The thick lightning submerged Li Xiaotian, but it had no effect on him. Immediately after, Li Xiaotian unleashed his fists, and a piercing explosion echoed.
Bang! Bang!
In the sky, two massive fists exploded, spraying a mist of blood, vividly red.
"This is impossible!!!"
"Damn it! Gu Ji, you lied to the tribe!!!"
The giant Gu Ji stared at his exploded fist, frozen in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief and confusion.
How could the person he had been suppressing and beating just days ago now possess such a terrifying physique?!!
Gu Lie was equally shocked, but simultaneously angry at Gu Ji. After all, Gu Ji had said that his opponent was a weakling in the early Overlord stage, with average strength. Who would have thought that his proud defense would be so easily broken?
And more importantly, that person was fighting three opponents simultaneously! He had ignored the lightning that could injure a top-tier Overlord and attacked both him and Gu Ji, completely overpowering them.
How was this possible? This defied all logic!!!
"Golden Body!"
Above the formation, the green-clothed woman's eyes flashed, and she stared intently at Li Xiaotian.
"What? Golden Body?!!"
"He's a Golden Body expert? What a joke!!"
Gu Ji and Gu Lie exclaimed in shock, their expressions filled with disbelief.
