342: At the source of the Milky Way, a fake Queen Mother of the West

An invisible screen of light, shaped like an inverted bowl, imprisoned everyone within it.

Its terrifying power meant certain death upon contact!

Behind them was the white light of the Eye Demon, capable of obliterating everything.

There was no path forward, and no retreat!

"Is this the calculation of the Heavenly Dao?" Serpent Mother's face turned pale, yet she harbored a faint sense of anticipation.

Xu Le did not speak; this Heavenly Dao was too insidious, and he didn't know either.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

The white light spread, turning countless Heavenly Soldiers into nothingness.

Serpent Mother distanced herself from Xu Le, her body gradually stiffening as she transformed into a black divine statue.

Profound Rock Indestructible Body!

Sealing herself, her body became a sturdy divine statue, immortal and indestructible, even capable of resisting the erosion of time, keeping her Lifespan from aging.

However, the cost was losing all sensation, just like a real divine statue.

At the very last moment, she caught a glimpse of Xu Le being enveloped by the white light, turning into ashes and vanishing in less than two seconds.

"What a pity!"

"I thought he was an expert, but I didn't expect him to last only a second longer than the Heavenly Soldiers."

Xu Le possessed the Prison Suppressing Indestructible Body; after his body turned to ashes, he quickly achieved Rebirth, then used Karma to repeat his previous actions.

The white light continued to spread until it reached the Formation screen, where it was locked by the screen.

The white light was like concentrated sulfuric acid, beginning to corrode the Formation screen. However, the screen itself possessed a powerful counter-attack force and was exceptionally solid.

It was like endless water meeting endless fire; upon contact, they fought crazily, sizzling loudly.

Time slowly passed, and the frantic white light gathered continuously, surging like waves, one after another. After holding out for two days, the Formation finally began to totter.

It held on for another three hours, and then, with a crack, the screen shattered completely.

After losing more than 30,000 evil spirits, Xu Le finally saw a path of survival.

Glancing and noticing that the Serpent Mother-statue had been corroded quite a bit, he grabbed the statue and teleported forward.

However, he couldn't teleport too far; the Formation Flags in the hands of those Heavenly Soldiers were still there, so he could only barely advance a bit.

Xu Le used the Serpent Mother statue as a spear, killing as he charged. He didn't know how long he had been killing, but he finally reached the source of the Heavenly River.

It was a beautiful pond.

The surface of the water was shrouded in faint white mist; the clear pond was not deep, and the stones in the water could be clearly seen.

Beside the pond stood a stone, with the two characters "Yaochi" carved on it.

"Yaochi? Is this the territory of the Queen Mother of the West?"

"But whose Yaochi is inside the Southern Heavenly Gate?"

"Is a Duke of the East going to pop out next?"

Xu Le muttered inwardly, a sense of danger suddenly arising in his heart. He saw a graceful figure made of flowing water suddenly emerge from the pond, complete with eyebrows and eyes, looking solemn.

"Mortal, how dare you defile my Yaochi! Die!"

Xu Le: "..."

This thing is the Queen Mother of the West?

The legendary leader of the female immortals?

He felt that even associating them was a blasphemy against the Queen Mother of the West.

The Water Being flicked its finger, and a water arrow shot over.

Xu Le moved his mind, and a bolt of lightning struck out.

The moment the lightning collided with the water arrow, it was directly absorbed by the water arrow, which continued to shoot toward him.

Inside the crystalline water arrow, there was a faint trace of lightning.

The ocean accepts all rivers; water benefits all things without contention.

As the thought flashed, the water arrow was already before him. Xu Le hurriedly raised the "spear" and stabbed it at the water arrow. A terrifying force came through, and the spear body recoiled, striking him, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

Crack!

The Serpent Mother divine statue, which had held out in the Eye Demon's white light for over two days, bore the brunt of the impact, emitting a cracking sound as a two-finger-long crack appeared on it.

Serpent Mother was severely injured, her Cultivation Technique was shattered, and she reverted to her original form.

"Pfft!" Spitting out a large mouthful of blood from her heart, Serpent Mother was almost unconscious. The experiences she had while in the form of a divine statue flooded into her mind, making her grit her teeth in anger.

"Are you even human? How could you treat me like that!"

Xu Le was not in the least bit guilty: "If I hadn't saved you, you would have already been devoured by the Eye Demon's Divine Ability!"

"You..." Serpent Mother's body swayed, nearly fainting, yet she could not deny that it was the truth.

If not for Xu Le, at most in seven days, her Cultivation Technique would have broken, and she would have been completely devoured.

But being used as a spear the whole way, and then taking a hit from the Water Being, left her critically injured. Without a year or two, she would definitely not be able to return to her Peak.

The Water Being snorted coldly: "You have some strength, but with this level of Dao, you can't take three of my moves."

"What if I do take them?" Xu Le deliberately used a provocation tactic.

The Water Being did not fall for it, saying in a flat tone: "If you take them, I will use the fourth move, the fifth move."

Xu Le: "..."

Serpent Mother forced herself to steady her body, wanting to say something, but the Eye Demon's white light spread over.

"Insignificant tricks!"

The Water Being waved its hand contemptuously. The white light slowed down visibly to the naked eye, the surrounding temperature dropped, and the white light began to solidify like water vapor.

In a short while, the white light completely turned into ice crystals, its aggression stopped completely, and it began to spread back in the direction it came from.

Serpent Mother's face was as pale as paper, her breath faint: "You are also at the Divine-Grade Peak, have you not yet managed the Awakening of your Legacy?"

"What Legacy?" Xu Le asked.

"How did you become a god without a Legacy? No, wait, you aren't really a lowly Human Race, are you?" Serpent Mother was shocked, her gaze toward Xu Le exceptionally complex: seven parts shock, two parts suspicion, one part admiration, and the remaining nine hundred and ninety parts were pure disdain.

In the Divine Realm, the Human Race has a short Lifespan, high Comprehension Ability, and no Bloodline Legacy, with Cultivate progress visible to the naked eye. After becoming a god, lacking believers and Cultivate resources, they have absolutely no strength to rebel.

Low investment, fast output; they are recognized as the best slaves!

"A pure-blooded Human Race, and yet you managed to ascend to the Divine-Grade Peak! If you were in the Divine Realm, perhaps you could change the fate of the Human Race. Pity that you came to this world and can never return!" The Water Being shook its head, reached out to grab the void, and a water Dragon condensed into shape.

Xu Le's face showed an expression of 'as expected': "You know about the Divine Realm too?"

Serpent Mother looked up in shock, looking at the Water Being in disbelief.

A flash of hesitation passed over the Water Being, and it froze the water Dragon in mid-air: "How long have you been here?"

"Twenty-seven days and six hours." Xu Le answered affirmatively.

"Very well, I will let you live for two more days." The Water Being directly dispersed the water Dragon. "It has been over six million years; it's a good time to have someone talk to me."

"Impossible! Over six million years ago, Blood Marshal was just a small fry; how could his gate of flesh and blood have fallen into your hands?" Serpent Mother shrieked, even forgetting her own status, her expression mocking.

Xu Le, however, felt a stir in his heart. Compared to the Four Gods, he had entered only a short while later, but there was a nearly forty-year difference between them. The flow of time here must be different from the outside world.

The Water Being said: "I will speak, and you will listen!"

"You are lying to me, why should I listen to you?" Serpent Mother said angrily.

Swish!

A drop of water suddenly shot out.

Serpent Mother was terrified; only then did she remember that she was just a prisoner, and she hurriedly summoned her ancestral spirit.

But her ancestral spirit, like her, had suffered heavy injuries and had absolutely no ability to resist. It was easily struck by the water drop, and both she and her ancestral spirit were instantly swallowed by the water drop and fell into Yaochi.

"Human, are you willing to chat with me and live for two more days?"

Xu Le nodded and opened his attribute panel.

The Heavenly Soldiers killed along the way numbered at least eighty thousand, if not a hundred thousand. It was time to add points!
