Nie Li was about to be devoured by the blazing heat, but he continued calmly writing the inscription patterns, until the design was finished. A snake-like object flew up from the center of the lake, struggling as it went.
This was the Deity Root of this Deity’s Lake!
Nie Li grabbed the Deity Root and threw it into the Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting.
Now that he’d finally gotten his hands on it, a smile showed at the corner of his mouth.
The moment Nie Li obtained the Deity Root, he merged with his Shadow Devil and activated its void-form.
*Boom!*
Flames blasted the Deity’s Lake, evaporating the water upon contact. A thick, white steam filled the sky.
How dangerous!
Nie Li dodged the flames and immediately moved away from the lake, quickly flying out. The steam had created a good cover for his escape.
The Infernal Lightning Winged Snake Emperor blankly stared at the lake for a while; it hadn’t realised what had actually happened. It still thought that it’d killed Nie Li. As it stared into the depths of the Deity’s Lake, it could sense that something was off; however, it couldn’t tell exactly what that “something” was.
Back while Li Xingyun was fighting the Infernal Lightning Winged Snake Emperor, Gu Heng was observing from few meters away with his men.
“Haha! It seems that Li Xingyun’s men were beaten quite badly!” Gu Heng said, feeling a little joy at Li Xingyun’s misfortune. That Infernal Lightning Winged Snake Emperor was too powerful. After Gu Heng pondered for a moment, it was best for them to not provoke it.
After coming all the way here and realising that he couldn’t do anything, Gu Heng felt a little unhappy. He could only look at the medium grade Deity’s Lake in front of him and feel gloomy.
Suddenly, the Deity’s Lake filled with cracks and started to crumble.
What was going on?
Gu Heng was stunned for a moment. Why would a perfectly good Deity’s Lake suddenly crumble?
Only now did the Infernal Lightning Winged Snake Emperor react. It didn’t know what the intruders had done to its Deity’s Lake, but it could sense that the lake’s strength was being sucked dry. Rage filled its heart. Someone was actually trying to destroy its Deity’s Lake!
Those damnable humans!
As that was happening at the Deity’s lake, something happened thousands of metres away. Another aura had appeared.
The person who’d been standing at the heart of the Deity’s Lake wasn’t dead!
That person definitely took something from the Deity’s Lake!
The Infernal Lightning Winged Snake Emperor flapped its wings and chased after Nie Li. Its entire body turned scarlet red as it became consumed with rage.
The moment Nie Li appeared, a pair black and white wings quickly unfurled behind him. He became like a meteor, streaking away through the sky.
“Brother Xingyun, don’t follow me. Take your brothers and quickly retreat!” Nie Li yelled as he ran. At that moment, the Infernal Lightning Winged Snake Emperor definitely had its eyes on him. If Li Xingyun were to follow, there’d definitely be an increase in casualties.
Li Xingyun frowned for a moment. Nie Li had obtained the Deity Root, but it should be stored in his interspatial ring. If Nie Li died, then the Deity Root would be gone! However, under the current situation, he didn’t too much time to dwell on it. He followed Nie Li’s suggestion and led his men in retreat.
What Li Xingyun didn’t know was that Nie Li’s Deity Root wasn’t inside an interspatial ring; it was actually inside the Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting, which was fused with Nie Li’s fate soul. Such a treasure wouldn’t drop, even if Nie Li was killed.
Therefore, as he ran, Nie Li made mental preparations for his own death.
After all, escaping from the claws of a Dao of Dragon Realm Infernal Lightning Winged Snake Emperor wasn’t going to be easy. If at all possible.
However, Nie Li suddenly saw Gu Heng’s men from afar. An idea flashed across his mind and he flew in Gu Heng’s direction.
Gu Heng was rejoic
