136: Divine power

In the Void Realm, Xu Le finally encountered someone who seemed to understand this place and the Heart Buddha, so he naturally wouldn't let the opportunity pass.

Just as he was about to step forward, the spider swayed on the spot and rushed directly toward the center of the wind.

The wind there was even fiercer, with more dust and celestial fragments, doubling the danger and making escape even more difficult.

"It would rather take the risk than let me get close."

"There must be a huge secret here!"

Xu Le's heart stirred, and he immediately gave chase.

The Cockroach watched the direction Xu Le disappeared in, thinking that since he had just exhausted himself to slay the Octopus, he couldn't possibly be unscathed.

If it teamed up with the Void Legged Spider, it could settle old scores and eliminate a future threat.

The more it thought about it, the more right it felt. It kicked off with its two strong hind legs, spread its wings, and flew over.

"Ka ka ka ka..." (Brother Foot Spider, don't be afraid, let's kill him together!)

Using the wind, the Cockroach quickly drifted over Xu Le's head. To show its sincerity, it didn't forget to scatter a cloud of gray mist along the way, taking the initiative to attack Xu Le.

Xu Le almost laughed in anger.

He hadn't even looked for trouble with this Cockroach, yet it dared to attack him; it truly was incredibly audacious.

The world kisses me with pain, and I respond with bliss—the kind from the Western Paradise.

Mental Shock!

Violent Mental Energy surged forward. The Cockroach felt disdainful, thinking it was the same old trick with no novelty.

When the mental power rushed into its Sea of Consciousness, it saw a vast tide of Mental Energy. Especially that speck of golden light at the crest of the wave; a single glance filled it with horror, and another look brought a panic of impending death.

Scatter!

The Cockroach's courage instantly vanished, and it transformed into a swarm of tiny cockroaches, fleeing in all directions.

Coward!

Xu Le had long known the Cockroach's limited repertoire, but he hadn't expected it to act so bold and valiant only to chicken out so quickly.

He immediately cast "Destiny Link" to share Nine Phoenix's skills and attributes.

Phoenix Dance of the Nine Heavens!

Earth Fire Flowing Slurry!

Ten Xu Le Clones attacked simultaneously. The fire elements in ten surrounding areas rioted at once, suddenly erupting in terrifying explosions.

Boom, boom, boom... Ten volcanoes erupted at the same time, and terrifying lava surged from underground, almost covering the entire space.

The Cockroach sneered repeatedly. It had endured this move before; although some tiny cockroaches were lost, it wasn't even five percent. Unless it was unlucky enough to be right at a volcanic vent.

The scalding lava poured onto the Clones, and the intense pain almost made it lose its mind.

Every tiny Cockroach was its Clone, and the death of each one would cost it a portion of its health.

In that wave just now, the scalding lava directly wiped out more than eighty percent of its Clones.

"Run, run, run!"

"This kid suddenly became so fierce, could it be..."

Thinking of the Octopus's fate, the Cockroach couldn't help but shudder.

It immediately organized the remaining Clones into a ball, working together to help the seed in the center escape. As long as one escaped, it could survive.

A second wave of lava erupted.

Boom!

The balls that had just formed turned to ash in an instant, and even the innermost tiny cockroaches were charred.

The only ones still alive were fewer than ten lucky tiny cockroaches that had managed to dodge two waves of lava in a row.

But could they be so lucky with a third wave?

"Ka ka ka..." (I surrender, I surrender!)

The remaining tiny cockroaches raised their front claws and kept tapping their antennae, begging to surrender.

But it was too late.

The third wave of lava had already erupted, directly turning an area into scorched earth.

[Experience +99,990,000]

A speck of white light appeared in the lava.

Xu Le grabbed it, and a skill book appeared in his hand.

[Skill] Heavens Mandate Regeneration (Passive)

[Quality] mythic-grade

[Learning Requirements] Constitution ≥ 15,000, spirit ≥ 15,000.

[Skill Description] After health is depleted, you can consume accumulated life force to revive with full health. Cooldown: 24 hours.

"No wonder its health bar refilled immediately after I emptied it before. So that's why."

Xu Le understood. After being killed once, the Cockroach had immediately fled the nanshan pure land Divine Domain. Unlike him, who had stayed inside for a few more days, allowing all his skills to finish cooling down.

"So it only had one life left. No wonder it was such a coward."

"And it was so weak to boot. It's only right that I make a fortune!"

The Foot Spider in the distance saw this and thought to itself that it was lucky it hadn't turned back, or it would have been screwed.

Its wariness toward Xu Le reached its peak. It hurriedly laid down a few webs and continued to flee forward.

If it hadn't been sure before, seeing Xu Le dispatch the Cockroach so effortlessly—like a completely different person—firmly solidified its thoughts.

A True God in the mortal realm, not to be trifled with!

Xu Le saw the Foot Spider acting as if it were spooked. Its eight long legs kept tapping forward. Even though its body was riddled with holes from the dust, it didn't slow down at all. Instead, it ran faster and faster, showing a demeanor of preferring death over being caught by Xu Le.

Xu Le gave chase with all his might, but after just a few steps, he was caught in a transparent spider web.

After breaking free with all his strength, he spat out a mouthful of fire, igniting seven or eight more webs ahead.

Looking at the Foot Spider again, it was only a black dot, having run at least ten thousand meters away.

It had to be said that in the harsh void wind, even with wings, he couldn't catch up to the eight long legs of the Foot Spider, and the distance continued to widen.

"Stop!"

"I just want to ask a few questions. Keep running and I'll kill you!"

Seeing that he couldn't catch up, Xu Le immediately began to threaten it.

The Foot Spider's figure paused, freezing in place.

Xu Le was overjoyed, thinking that watching TV dramas hadn't been in vain, and rushed forward.

To his surprise, a violent spatial fluctuation came from ahead. The Foot Spider stepped into it with a determination that seemed to say, "The wind sighs and the Yi River is cold; the hero goes forth and shall never return."

Even if Xu Le didn't know what skill the Foot Spider was using, he was certain that teleporting within the void wind was exceptionally dangerous.

Even the teleportation arrays cultivated on Blue Star had to be placed next to the City Lord's Mansion and personally guarded by the City Lord.

For fear that the slightest movement would cause an accident during the teleportation process.

The Foot Spider's behavior was like an ordinary person being cornered by bandits at a cliff's edge and choosing to jump to survive; saying there was a 99.99% death rate was being conservative.

"Am I really that terrifying?"

"I just wanted to ask for information about the Heart Buddha."

Xu Le touched his face, feeling more and more depressed the more he thought about it.
