158: Luring the enemy from the dimensional universe [Thanks to 'Himi Ten' for the gift]
He knew he only had one chance.
One chance to trick this old thing into his [dimensional universe]!
Inside, he was God!
Success meant a vast future!
Failure meant eternal damnation!
Li Wuji's speed reached the absolute limit.
One second, he was ten thousand meters in the sky.
The next second, his wrinkled face appeared clearly before Su Jue.
He reached out a withered palm, slowly grasping toward Su Jue's crown.
His movement was very slow.
But this was not mercy.
It was a playful mockery, like a cat catching a mouse.
He wanted Su Jue to meet his fate amidst endless fear and despair!
Under the shadow of that palm, the space around Su Jue was instantly imprisoned!
He was like a flying insect stuck to a spiderweb; even moving a finger became a luxury!
"Little thing."
"You are very brave."
Li Wuji's voice was cold and raspy.
"Unfortunately, you are also very stupid."
"Now, tell me who gave you this courage?"
Su Jue did not answer.
He just stared fixedly at the other party. On that delicate little face, not only was there no fear, but a strange smile appeared instead.
"old thing, what's the rush?"
"The game has only just begun."
The moment the words fell.
An ancient and majestic aura suddenly erupted from Su Jue's body!
It wasn't True Yuan!
Nor was it Law!
It was something more primordial, more pure... the power of a bloodline!
[Advanced Chaos Dragon Body... Activate!]
The dragon bloodline within Su Jue's body was pushed to the limit at this moment!
Immediately after.
Under Li Wuji's slightly stunned gaze.
Su Jue suddenly opened his small mouth and slowly... spat out something.
It was a fist-sized, earthy-yellow heart, as crystal clear as a diamond!
[heart of the titan (Origin Shard)]!
The moment this heart appeared!
The entire Lihuo Star No. 3 trembled violently!
The planet's gravity soared thousands of times in an instant!
Countless buildings collapsed under this terrifying pressure!
Even Li Wuji, a Great Sage Realm Expert, felt his body sink!
His gaze was fixed dead on that earthy-yellow heart floating in front of Su Jue!
At this moment, his breathing became rapid!
In those wide-open eyes, for the first time, emotions of "greed" and "fanaticism" emerged!
"This... this is..."
"heart of the titan?!"
"A true Earth Origin?!"
Li Wuji's voice cracked!
As a Great Sage Realm Expert, he knew better than anyone what this stone heart meant!
This... this was the key to the Saint King Realm!
It was a supreme divine object... enough to make the entire universe go mad!
He never dreamed that something that only existed in legends would appear in the hands of a Domain Transformation Realm Infant!
This moment!
All his anger and killing intent were replaced by an all-consuming greed!
He had to have it!
At all costs, he had to have it!
"Little Beast!"
"Is such a divine object something you can possess?!"
"It should belong to me!!!"
Li Wuji let out a wild roar, and the speed of his palm reaching for Su Jue increased a hundredfold!
However!
At the very moment his palm was about to touch the [heart of the titan]!
Su Jue suddenly grinned at him.
That smile was innocent.
"Oops."
He seemed to be startled, and his small hand shook.
That priceless [heart of the titan] slipped straight from his hand.
But it didn't fall to the ground.
Instead, it fell squarely into a spatial rift that suddenly appeared beneath his feet.
Then, it vanished.
"No!!!"
Li Wuji's eyes instantly turned blood-red!
Without a second thought, his body turned into an afterimage. He abandoned the easily reachable Su Jue and dived madly into the slowly closing spatial rift!
He couldn't let the [heart of the titan] escape!
Absolutely not!
Watching Li Wuji's figure, blinded by greed, rushing in recklessly.
Standing outside the rift, the "panic" on Su Jue's face vanished.
It was replaced by a cold and cruel little devil's smile, like that of a hunter.
"old thing."
"You took the bait after all."
He reached out his chubby little hand and made a gentle grasping motion toward the spatial rift.
"Close the door."
"And beat the dog!"
"Buzz—!"
The spatial rift suddenly contracted!
Then it completely vanished into the air... When Li Wuji's vision cleared again.
He found that he was no longer above that familiar slum.
He had come to a... brand new world.
This world was very desolate.
Eight fireballs emitting scorching light hung high in the sky, providing the only light and heat for this dead world.
Below was a vast green continent.
In the center of the continent stood a giant tree that reached the heavens, its branches seemingly supporting the spine of the entire world.
In the distance were rushing rivers and an endless black ocean.
The air was filled with a... primitive aura.
"This place is..."
Li Wuji's brow furrowed tightly.
He could feel that his connection to the Law of the outside universe had been severed by an invisible force.
This place is a world of its own?!
"A domain?"
"No..."
"Even a 'Saint Domain' of the Saint King Realm couldn't achieve such a level of reality..."
Li Wuji's divine sense frantically scanned this strange world.
He soon discovered the [heart of the titan] that had made him rush in recklessly.
It was quietly floating at the very center of the world, emitting an alluring light.
However, Li Wuji had calmed down by now.
He didn't immediately try to seize the divine object.
Because he noticed something was wrong.
The feeling this world gave him was too eerie.
The Law here, though not yet perfect—one could even say crude.
But they were incredibly resilient!
And they carried a sense of rejection that made even him feel palpably uneasy!
It was as if he were an external virus being frantically resisted by this world's "immune system"!
"Come out!"
Li Wuji barked coldly at the empty sky.
"What kind of skill is it to play tricks?!"
His voice turned into rolling sound waves, sweeping in all directions.
However.
What responded to him was not the expected enemy.
But a childish, somewhat playful voice.
"old thing, welcome."
The voice came from all directions.
It was as if the whole world was speaking to him.
