Chapter 617 - Living Things in Space (2/2)

“The Sacred Medicine Sect is here indeed!” The Nascent Soul cultivator explained. She turned to the others and shouted, “Everyone, go in!”

The other cultivators caught up with them at last. After all, this used to be a huge sect. For all they knew, there could be something good hidden inside.

Lonemoon also activated his divine perception to sweep over the remains of the wall. Faintly, he could tell that there were talisman words written atop the wall. It looked ancient and strange and even had a sort of special lively aura about it. It was almost like it was alive…

“Wait! This is not a wall!”

His heart jumped and he reacted immediately. He conjured a wind seal and shot it toward everyone else. The crowd that had been heading toward the black wall suddenly got swept back to where they started.

They had not been ready for that. Before they knew what was happening, they were thrown to the ground – all including the Nascent Soul cultivator.

“Fellow Daoist Lonemoon, what are you-” All of them looked confused. They just started to question him when they were interrupted by a loud roar.

Roar~

The roar was so loud that their eardrums threatened to burst. The entire crowd felt a gust of strong wind blow past them. It brought with it a formidable suppressive force. A few of the Golden Core cultivators were carried off the ground and thrown several metres further behind.

The black wall that had not been moving before suddenly began to shake. The ground vibrated and cracked open, as if something was breaking out of it.

“Mount your swords – get out of here!” The Nascent Soul cultivator shouted. “It’s coming out!”

It was then that all of them snapped back to reality. One by one, they mounted their swords. Even Shen Ying and her two companions followed suit.

Loud crashes were heard, one after another. The group finally saw something black and tall, which resembled a tower, coming out of the ground. The thing did not seem to have a fixed form. However, its entire body was black and talisman words were shining on its body. On top of its head, it had a horn that resembled a sharp tooth. That was what they had mistaken as to be the black wall earlier.

“What… What is that?” One of the cultivators exclaimed.

The next thing they knew, the black thing swayed. In just a blink of an eye, it turned into a black beast with four legs and six wings. The beast was lit up in purple flames.

Lonemoon immediately recognized this eleventh-grade beast. He shouted, “Isn’t this the Purple Flame Beast?” He didn’t know this beast could take on another form at night.

“No!” Shen Ying’s eyes narrowed. She suddenly spoke, “It’s a Spatial Li.”

What?

Lonemoon paused. After awhile, he asked, “What Li? How come I’ve never heard of such a beast!”

“It’s not a beast.”

“It’s so huge. What could it be if it isn’t a-” He suddenly stopped mid-sentence, as if realizing something.

Wait a moment!

Spatial Li? Why did this term sound so familiar? He felt like he had seen it somewhere before…

Spatial Li… Spatial… Spatial…

“Spatial Li!” Lonemoon shouted all a sudden. “A living thing that exists in empty space – the Spatial Li!”

“Mm.” Shen Ying nodded.

Holy shit shit shit shit shit1!

That was why he found it familiar. While he was downloading all the information related to being an assistant in those three months, he had come across a chapter that focused on such a living creature. It was a kind of a formless creature that lived in the space between planes…

Suddenly, he felt like the cultivators who had come in with them but suddenly disappeared now were… abandoning them!
