Chapter 5819 Successive Deaths

Not only did they have to contend with various forces, but they also had to contend with the native powerhouses within the boundless world.

Those ancient beasts, Special Life Forms, and even some ruins and forbidden areas posed great dangers.

In such a world, to stay ahead, they needed to push themselves to the limit.

Those with weak strength would promptly give up when faced with danger.

Bringing the Emperor along was just to make up the numbers.

If they were lucky, they might receive a mission.

For example, Jinchen had received a five-star mission.

Even if he fell this time, it wouldn’t be a loss.

Although Jian Wushuang didn’t agree in his heart, faced with reality, he had to accept it.

Even he himself had tacitly accepted the law of survival of the fittest.

No one wanted to be a burden.

Everyone wanted to be carefree.

“Alright, you’d better kill three ancient beasts at the level of Fourth Tribulation within ten days, or a hundred ancient beasts at the level of Third Tribulation. Make sure to collect all the materials needed for the transformation pill, don’t even miss their fur and skin!” Jian Wushuang actually didn’t know the recipe for the conversion pill, but just to be safe, he instructed them to collect all the materials.

When he refined them later, he would use what he needed, and what he didn’t need would be fine, anyway, he wasn’t the one going to kill those ancient beasts.

Li Sheng didn’t say much, just nodded.

The others took a deep breath, then one by one jumped into the water pool.

Jiang Zhen also showed some understanding of the situation and didn’t say much, obediently following Li Sheng.

The five set off together.

Jian Wushuang sat cross-legged, closing his eyes.

In the Origin Source Starry Sky.

Floating in his own universe, feeling extremely comfortable.

“Ancient Evolution!”

He clenched his fists, continuously stimulating his origin!

“Ah!!!” The powerful starry sky energy instantly covered his whole body.

His strength increased several times over.

“Phew!”

The greatness of Eternal Ancient Transformation lay in the power of the Starry Sky.

The transformation technique was only an auxiliary function.

If he used the power of All Things to perform the Eternal Ancient Transformation.

It was not much different from the Eternal Ancient Transformation; the amplified power had its limits.

The key to the Eternal Ancient Transformation lay in the power of the Starry Sky.

But what was the key to this transformation?

Jian Wushuang retracted the Eternal Transformation and, after returning to normal, began to peruse some of the secret techniques related to the previous transformation.

It seemed leisurely, but it was quite challenging.

Ten days was too short.

He had to hurry.

This place could be discovered at any time.

While he was in seclusion, a bloody battle erupted deep in the Ancient River.

Li Sheng led his men from the west bank of the Gu River to the east bank, even spilling onto the shores.

This massacre quickly attracted several beasts of the fourth tribulation level.

Originally, their plan was to quickly kill hundreds of Third Tribulation level beasts.

That was quite simple for them.

They just feared provoking those ancient Fourth Tribulation level beasts.

The Third Tribulation level beasts at the bottom of the river were actually not very powerful.

Their divine power was only a little over 300,000.

Elder Muchen and Wu Li could easily kill them with a flick of their hands.

Even dealing with these beasts together was more than enough.

But that was single combat.

They were not facing one or two, but dozens surrounding them.

Although Li Sheng was powerful, he couldn’t take advantage of dozens of beasts at the same time.

After a day, they only managed to kill a dozen or so.

And they even provoked several Fourth Tribulation beasts.

Just as they were preparing for a desperate fight.

Thunderclouds appeared overhead.

“It’s a dragon! As per the original plan, scatter and flee!” They had anticipated encountering a dragon long ago, but they hadn’t expected it so soon.

The five of them scattered and fled.

The domain of the dragon had just arrived, and before the real body of the dragon arrived, they had vanished.

But as long as they were in this domain, they couldn’t escape the dragon’s pursuit.

“You damned human cultivators, you shall all die!” The real form of the dragon descended, immediately targeting Li Sheng, who was the fastest to flee.

The massive dragon tail swept directly towards Li Sheng.

Fortunately, Li Sheng was fast enough to dodge it smoothly.

The dragon tail struck the stone wall of the riverbed, directly shattering the mountain.

Many unlucky beasts were instantly obliterated.

“You can’t escape!” The dragon transformed into a human form, its speed increased, and it rushed to the nearest Universe Master of the Qingyun Sect. With one claw, it crushed the opponent’s Origin Source.

A fifth tribulation realm powerhouse killing those of the Third Tribulation was like adults bullying children.

There were no secret techniques involved, just simple and brutal, one-hit kills.

It was like when Jian Wushuang used the Wanjie Sword to kill those Third Tribulation Universe Masters.

Feeling the fall of his comrades, Li Sheng’s face turned ashen, his heart filled with despair.

However, there was no time for him to dwell on it. He seized the opportunity and unleashed his divine power, exerting all his strength to break out of the domain.

Others, too, showed no mercy at this moment, bursting forth with all their might to break free from the domain.

Exhausting nearly 30 percent of his divine power in the process, he desperately escaped, but his own combat strength plummeted to its lowest.

Just as he broke out of the domain, he encountered a savage beast at the Fourth Tribulation.

Despair etched across his face, he roared in anger, “Even if I fall, I refuse to perish at the hands of you beasts!”

“Ah!!!!”

With clenched fists, he ignited all his divine power.

His entire being transformed into a blazing sun, unleashing boundless divine power.

The savage beast at the Fourth Tribulation hastily retreated, cursing angrily, “I haven’t even made a move yet, why are you in such a hurry!”

Yet, he too met his demise.

Little did he expect that he would choose to self-destruct before his death.

His death inadvertently bought some time for the others.

Taking advantage of the situation, Muchen made his way ashore, disappearing into the jungle of the mountains.

Jian Wushuang’s plan was too idealistic.

Or perhaps, they had underestimated the situation.

In the span of a day, among the five of them, two had perished.

Muchen fled far away ashore.

Wu Li’s whereabouts were unknown amidst the chaos.

Only Li Sheng, dragging his heavily injured body, returned to the chaotic pile of rocks.

Spurt!

As soon as he surfaced from the water, Li Sheng spat out a mouthful of blood from his chest.

He collapsed in a heap, directly onto the ground.

Jinchen was startled and quickly stood up.

The two Universe Masters from the Li family hurriedly stepped forward to examine the injuries of their ancestor.

Jian Wushuang remained unfazed, continuing to search for information on the formula for the Conversion Pill.

It was Wu Li’s absence that troubled him. He tried to contact him through voice transmission, but to no avail.

Fortunately, he could still sense the karmic presence of the other party; they probably hadn’t died yet.

In hindsight, he shouldn’t have let Wu Li go.

Things were getting worse now.

The Sacred Assembly was even more dangerous than he had imagined.

Actually, they didn’t need to be this exhausted.

If the Empress were here, within this ancient river, as long as there were no Sixth Tribulation savage beasts or Special Life Forms, they could almost walk sideways.

But unfortunately, the Empress had abandoned them halfway.

“Sigh!” Jian Wushuang sighed, opening his eyes and glancing at Li Sheng’s injuries. He gathered a trace of life force in his palm, hesitated for a moment, then gave up.

He couldn’t save people.

If the Life force were discovered by powerful observers from the outside world, it would be over.
