278: Chapter 278 The Combined Giant Beast

"Swish!"

It was just like a knife cutting through tofu; in an instant, it severed the claw of the Void Behemoth.

Li Daoxuan escaped at that very moment.

However, the moment the Void Behemoth's claw was severed, it actually fled into the distance, and its speed was quite fast.

Seeing the Void Behemoth flee, Zhou Tian couldn't help but gape in surprise; he hadn't expected Li Daoxuan to possess such a Sharp Weapon.

But now was not the time to think about that. As long as they found the Void Behemoth's lair, the treasures inside would be no less than those on the God-Abandoned Continent.

After being injured, Void Behemoths generally flee back to their caves.

Furthermore, Void Behemoths live alone and have no helpers, so Zhou Tian was very eager to get his hands on its collection.

Seeing Zhou Tian give chase, Li Daoxuan also moved, following closely behind the Void Behemoth.

The aura of the Void Behemoth was slowly weakening, but not by much.

Li Daoxuan knew that although that sword strike had severely injured it, he hadn't unleashed the power of the High Grade Divine Artifact; he had only relied on its sharpness.

The opponent still had the strength to fight, so he didn't dare to get too close.

That fellow Zhou Tian was quite reckless; when he caught up, he gave the Void Behemoth a wild beating.

Yet the Void Behemoth didn't seem to have any intention of stopping; one of its eyes remained fixed on Li Daoxuan, fearing that Li Daoxuan would strike it again.

Li Daoxuan's mouth twitched. He suspected that the reason Zhou Tian dared to beat the opponent so wildly was because of him.

The Void Behemoth was wary of him and wasn't bothering with Zhou Tian.

After all, Zhou Tian's attacks were just like scratching an itch to it; only when hitting its wound did it feel pain.

But it was only pain; it wouldn't cause any significant injury.

Such injuries were nothing to a Void Behemoth, but it didn't know that there was a reason why Zhou Tian kept attacking its wound.

Seeing the Void Behemoth's wound continuously turning black, Li Daoxuan finally understood Zhou Tian's intention.

He hadn't expected this upright fellow to actually use poison; this completely overturned Li Daoxuan's perception of Zhou Tian.

"Awoo~"

The Void Behemoth let out a loud cry as if it sensed a threat. Ignoring Li Daoxuan chasing behind, it charged directly at Zhou Tian.

Zhou Tian didn't hesitate in the slightest and retreated behind Li Daoxuan.

Li Daoxuan's mouth twitched a few times. The High Grade Divine Artifact appeared in his hand, his gaze fixed on the Void Behemoth.

"Awoo~"

The Void Behemoth let out a miserable howl, turned its head, and began to flee wildly again.

It knew it was no match for Li Daoxuan; if it insisted on fighting Li Daoxuan, it would definitely be the one getting injured.

But it had no choice. Every time it wanted to escape, it would be attacked with poison by that detestable fellow. Although the poison didn't have any effect on it in the short term, over time, the toxins would reach its heart.

"Aoroo!"

The Void Behemoth let out an angry cry and then slowly stopped.

Just when Li Daoxuan thought it was about to do something, he saw another identical Void Behemoth appear not far away.

Zhou Tian couldn't help but shout: "Not good, we've encountered a male and female pair of Behemoths. Be careful, their cultivation will greatly increase after Body Integration."

Body Integration?

Li Daoxuan was somewhat confused; could two of them really perform Body Integration?

Just as he was wondering, the tails of the two Void Behemoths actually connected together.

The moment their tails connected, their cultivation rose rapidly, quickly surpassing the Immortal Emperor Peak.

Zhou Tian shouted: "Run quickly, we are no match for them."

Li Daoxuan grabbed Zhou Tian and flew rapidly in one direction.

He could already feel that the opponent's cultivation was not something he could resist—at least not until the poison took effect, Li Daoxuan could not resist.

The dynamics of the chase changed; Li Daoxuan and his companion were fleeing rapidly, with the Void Behemoths chasing after them.

However, this time, although they were fast, the two Void Behemoths that had performed Body Integration were even faster.

Li Daoxuan couldn't help but shout: "How can their speed be this fast? Didn't you say they couldn't catch up to us?"

Zhou Tian quickly replied: "No, I only said that one of them alone couldn't catch up; I never said that the two of them combined couldn't catch up to us."

"After their Body Integration, their combat power directly surpasses the Immortal Emperor level and reaches the Immortal Venerable level."

"Let's run quickly. If we really can't escape, then we'll look for the God-Abandoned Continent; perhaps there's a way to save our lives there."

Li Daoxuan suddenly asked: "Is the poison you used on it earlier useful?"

Zhou Tian quickly said: "Although that kind of poison is very potent, it takes a long time to take effect."

Li Daoxuan asked: "How long exactly?"

Zhou Tian replied: "One day; it will take effect within one day."

Li Daoxuan quickly said: "Next, we will try our best to stall them and wait for the poison to take effect. Then we can kill them."

Zhou Tian widened his eyes and asked: "You mean we should stall until the toxin takes effect? And then wipe them out?"

Li Daoxuan asked: "When you gave chase earlier, weren't you thinking about the treasures in their lair?"

"As long as we hunt them down, won't the treasures in their lair be ours?"

"This must be done. We must obtain the treasures in their lair, otherwise, wouldn't all our hard work be for nothing?"

Zhou Tian quickly nodded and said: "They are powerful, so I'm afraid the treasures in their lair are no less than those on the God-Abandoned Continent. As long as we can get our hands on them, we can accumulate some resources for our Ascension to the Divine Realm."

Li Daoxuan asked: "Can you find their lair?"

The direction the Void Behemoth fled earlier was the direction of its lair, because when Void Behemoths flee, they almost always head toward their own lair.

Li Daoxuan's eyes lit up, and he quickly said: "Then as long as we let them injure us, we can follow them and find their lair?"

Zhou Tian quickly shook his head and said: "It's best to slay them and then slowly look for their lair. Otherwise, who knows if a third Void Behemoth might pop up?"

Li Daoxuan gave him a suspicious look. Just as he was about to say something, Zhou Tian shouted: "Run! They're catching up."

Li Daoxuan was speechless; this fellow's speed was too slow. If he abandoned him, he would easily end up as food for the Void Behemoths.

Thus, he couldn't help but speed up. Because he had the Cloud Spirit, he could fully utilize the speed of the clouds to advance, easily shaking off the Void Behemoths behind them.

After putting some distance between them, Zhou Tian exclaimed: "With your speed, I'm afraid even that Immortal Venerable from the Ye family couldn't catch up to you. No wonder you aren't afraid of them; it turns out you have nothing to fear."

Li Daoxuan shouted: "Shut up, they've caught up again."

As his voice fell, those two fellows who had performed Body Integration caught up again from behind.

Zhou Tian shouted: "Then hurry up and run!"

Li Daoxuan was speechless, but he still quickly dodged the opponent's pursuit.

The two sides continued to chase and flee in this endless Void Realm; one side couldn't catch up, and the other couldn't escape.

In reality, it was Li Daoxuan who didn't want to escape; he wanted to keep them on a leash.

A day passed, and the combined Behemoths behind slowed down.

Li Daoxuan's eyes lit up, and he charged directly at them.

Zhou Tian shouted: "Careful!"

Unfortunately, it was already too late. He hadn't expected the two Behemoths to be so cunning, deliberately letting Li Daoxuan fall into their trap.

But at this moment, a look of excitement appeared in Li Daoxuan's eyes, and the High Grade Divine Artifact in his hand slashed directly toward them.
