604: Chapter 604 The Flowing Sand Beast, a Monster!

In the blink of an eye,

half a month had already passed since the struggle over the boundary dao tree.

During these days, under Hong Batian's guidance, Li Fan had already raided two gathering dens of Prodigies from the Alien Universe.

A rough count showed that over five hundred Prodigies from the Alien Universe had been slain by Li Fan in these two dens!

It must be said, this result was quite impressive; Hong Batian had rendered meritorious service.

If one tried to rely on sheer luck to eliminate so many Prodigies from the Alien Universe, it would likely be almost impossible without at least a year or half.

Somewhat unfortunately, even after hitting two dens, the four bloodline members of the He Family still hadn't been found.

Moreover, this tide surge had also come to an end three days ago.

To see so many Holy Light opportunities again, one would have to wait for the next tide surge.

And now,

Li Fan was heading toward the third gathering den of Prodigies from the Alien Universe, guided by Hong Batian.

This was a vast desert, yellow sand everywhere, with sand tornadoes densely packed. Looking out, it seemed like entering a forest made of sand tornadoes, truly a spectacular sight.

However, though these sand tornadoes were visually stunning and resembled a beautiful scene,

each one was formed by terrifying gale-force winds, immensely powerful. Especially within the eye of the tornado, anyone below Domain Lord Fifth Order would find it almost impossible to survive.

Of course, for Li Fan, these sand tornadoes were mere trifles, nothing more than a gentle breeze.

"This place looks quite miraculous, able to gather so many sand tornadoes at once."

Li Fan couldn't help but murmur softly, feeling somewhat intrigued.

Then, he immediately lifted Hong Batian up.

"Are you sure there's a gathering den in this desert?"

Faced with Li Fan's question, Hong Batian promptly gave an answer,

"That's right, Brother Fan, it's right inside! If I remember correctly, heading east about a thousand li, you'll see a huge quicksand pit. The gathering den is near the quicksand pit!"

After witnessing Li Fan's terrifying strength that crushed everything in his path, Hong Batian had now completely taken on the role of a lackey, betraying his fellow Prodigies from the Alien Universe without the slightest hesitation!

Hearing this, Li Fan nodded and then sped off in the direction Hong Batian pointed.

As he moved forward, Li Fan also began to inspect the small universe within his body.

Currently, the boundary dao tree had been transplanted by Li Fan to a place not far from the ancestral spirit thunder liquid.

The three spirit fruits were now gleaming brilliantly.

For now, Li Fan had no immediate use for these three spirit fruits; they would only be of great use when he broke through to World Lord.

However, breaking through to World Lord within the Pure Land Zone was clearly not possible.

Once he attempted to break through here, he would be directly expelled by the laws of the Pure Land Zone.

Fortunately, Li Fan wasn't in a hurry.

He planned to accumulate as much strength as possible before attempting to become a World Lord, such as comprehending more Law Power.

At present, he was very confident in comprehending the Law of Thunder.

He intended to first eliminate the stronghold in this desert. Regardless of whether the He Family bloodline was there or not, he planned to find a secluded place to go into seclusion, first comprehending this strand of the Law of Thunder and, in the process, further enhancing his physical strength.

After observing the boundary dao tree, Li Fan's gaze fell upon Huang Yunshang.

Huang Yunshang's cultivation was sealed, and she had been imprisoned on this planet for over half a month. In the past few days, she had been shouting defiantly, raging impotently, and even attempting suicide multiple times, declaring that a warrior would rather die than be humiliated.

Li Fan didn't indulge her. He directly gave her a death-binding, wrapping her up like a zongzi with vines, leaving only half her head exposed so she couldn't kill herself.

Want to die?

Sure!

But not now!

He still needed to extract her essence blood and use her to exchange for phoenix origin. How could she die just like that?

Now, perhaps Li Fan's methods had taken effect.

Bound up like a zongzi, Huang Yunshang had lost all strength and means. Not only did she stop struggling, but she also stopped shouting about preferring death over humiliation. She had completely quieted down.

However, while she had become quiet, she had started crying, tears streaming down her face like a young bride who had been violated.

Seeing this, Li Fan immediately recorded the scene.

It wasn't that Li Fan had some twisted hobby.

Rather, this footage would likely come in handy when negotiating with the Phoenix Clan for phoenix origin later!

After finishing the recording, Li Fan no longer paid attention to matters within his small universe, focusing his mind entirely on this desert.

It must be said,

this desert was definitely the place with the fewest ferocious beasts he had encountered since arriving in the Pure Land Zone.

Apart from encountering a giant sandworm when he first entered, he hadn't seen any other ferocious beasts.

Come to think of it,

with these dense, irregularly moving sand tornadoes and the strange quicksand everywhere, ordinary ferocious beasts would find it very difficult to survive here.

And soon,

as Li Fan sped along,

he arrived at the huge quicksand pit Hong Batian had mentioned.

Well, well,

the area of this quicksand pit was truly immense. Looking from above, Li Fan couldn't even see its end at a glance. A rough estimate suggested it was probably larger than the combined ocean area of Blue Star!

Looking toward the center of the quicksand pit, the speed at which the sand was submerging was utterly terrifying. Even Li Fan was taken aback.

It must be said, the Prodigies from the Alien Universe were quite bold to set up a gathering den near such a place.

"Brother Fan, head that way! We're almost there!"

Hong Batian proactively continued guiding Li Fan.

Li Fan immediately gave Hong Batian a word of praise,

"Not bad, you're getting more and more on the right track. After we destroy this den, I'll let you come out of that turtle shell to move around for a day or two."

Upon hearing this, Hong Batian was momentarily stunned. Den?!

But upon hearing that Li Fan planned to let him out of the turtle shell, his eyes lit up.

If he didn't come out for some fresh air soon, he might really get used to being a turtle!

"Alright, Brother Fan! Thank you, Brother Fan!"

Lackey Hong Batian immediately let out an excited shriek.

As for Li Fan,

speeding along, he quickly arrived at the location of the den Hong Batian had mentioned.

It was a calm stretch of desert, quietly lying about thirty kilometers away from the huge quicksand pit.

However, it looked far too peaceful, showing no signs of a den at all. There weren't even any traces of human activity.

"Are you sure it's here?"

At this moment, Li Fan looked somewhat displeased at Hong Batian in his hand.

He felt he had likely been tricked by Hong Batian.

Or perhaps, Hong Batian himself had misremembered.

Hong Batian now stretched his neck, his gaze fixed intently on the situation below.

"Brother Fan, I'm sure it's here. I definitely didn't lead you the wrong way!"

"But it's strange. There was clearly a huge yellow stone mountain here before. Why is it gone?!"

Hong Batian's tone was very firm, but he also voiced his doubts.

He was certain the location was correct, but why couldn't he see the gathering den, or even the familiar yellow stone mountain he remembered?

Looking at Hong Batian's extremely grave expression and his absolutely certain tone, Li Fan felt that Hong Batian probably wasn't lying.

But now the question arose:

If the location was correct, where had the gathering den and the yellow stone mountain Hong Batian mentioned gone? Vanished into thin air?!

And just as both Li Fan and Hong Batian were puzzled,

a deafening roar suddenly erupted from within the huge quicksand pit.

"ROAR!"

The next second,

the entire huge quicksand pit suddenly leaped into the sky.

In an instant, yellow sand filled the sky, blotting out the sun.

If one had a god's-eye view at this moment, they would see a terrifying sight:

the huge quicksand pit had transformed into a gaping maw!!

The quicksand pit had come to life!

No, it wasn't that the quicksand pit had come to life, but that it had always been the maw of a terrifying ferocious beast!

In the blink of an eye,

before Li Fan could react further, he was swallowed by the gaping maw, sinking along with endless quicksand into the maw.
