Chapter 619: Chapter 374: Little Aunt Misses You, Come Quickly
’If only Feifei were here. Her Sharpness and Armor-Piercing Superpower might be able to break through their defenses and damage their cores.’ The image of that celestial girl appeared in Li Xiang’s mind again.
So many years had passed. That celestial beauty was no longer a girl; she would be in her late twenties now.
’If ten-thousand-ton Star Sand doesn’t work, then I’ll use a hundred thousand tons, or a million tons.’
Li Xiang still had 990 units of ten-thousand-ton Star Sand. So, he continued his refinement in space, combining one hundred units into a single Star Pill the size of a ping-pong ball. Each Star Pill weighed a million tons. He refined a total of nine of them.
’I can’t make them any bigger. Any larger and they’d be difficult to control and strenuous to propel, which would also reduce their speed. Without speed, it doesn’t matter how heavy the Star Sand is; it won’t be very effective.’
He could accelerate a one-million-ton pill to around Mach 20. The bodies of those Divine King Realm Exotic Beasts were massive, so at that speed, they would basically be unable to dodge.
Li Xiang snuck back again and made a few attempts. He hurled the million-ton Star Pills, which struck like meteors. The effect was indeed extraordinary. A few of the Divine King Realm beasts howled in pain, and two of them even suffered broken bones.
However, a "broken bone" was nothing to them. After great effort, Li Xiang managed to break the lower leg of one of the Exotic Beasts, but in the next instant, its leg fused back together, leaving not even a hint of a seam.
He used his Stealth Technique to sneak near the "Heart of the Earth," hoping to snatch the fruit. But as soon as he got close, he was repelled by several rings of spiritual light.
Clearly, the "Heart of the Earth" had long been sealed by these Exotic Beasts. If anyone wanted to steal the fruit, it was utterly impossible without defeating them first.
Li Xiang was very alert. The moment he realized he’d been exposed, he immediately activated Extreme Speed and retreated swiftly.
It was a good thing he retreated so quickly. Just as his figure vanished, several bone spikes, claws, and Bone Blades stabbed, clawed, and slashed at the spot where he had been standing. They were so powerful they even tore open spatial rifts, a testament to the ferocity of the attack.
’My power is still too low. I need to raise my tier a few more levels before I try a sneak attack again.’ Li Xiang returned to Underground Dungeon 03 and began to seclude himself for cultivation.
Jiang Cai’Er was busy with improvement work on the Profound Nether, and their children were taken to and from school by their maternal grandparents (Jiang Jianguo and his wife), so Li Xiang basically didn’t have to worry about anything.
He cultivated in seclusion for several days, but his progress was minuscule. He couldn’t help but feel a bit frustrated, though he understood that now that he was in the Divine King Realm, he couldn’t expect to level up rapidly in a short time like he did in the lower Realms. Advancing each tier would require an immense amount of time.
But Li Xiang forced himself to be patient and continued his arduous cultivation. The other women had not yet entered the Divine Tier, so performing Dual Cultivation with them was no longer of much help to him. Of course, conversely, when Li Xiang performed Dual Cultivation with them, the benefits to them were immense.
But it was also rather impossible to raise several women to the Divine Tier in a short period of time.
...
In the Black Mist Star Realm, on the mysterious Ancient Starry Sky Road, Luo Feifei had already passed through twenty-three gates, far surpassing the seventeen recorded in the incomplete ancient texts.
She had fought her way through gate after gate, teetering on the brink of life and death several times. Though it was perilous, the benefits she gained were also enormous.
When she set out, she was at Tier Thirty. Now, she was at the peak of Tier Thirty-Eight. Tiers 29 through 38 constituted the Divine Tier.
Most notably, at the twenty-first gate, she had unexpectedly obtained a Star Core Fragment from a small asteroid. After its Refinement, she reached the Peak of Divine Tier, a state that could be called the "Quasi-Divine King Realm," just half a step away from entering the Divine King Realm. But that half-step was like a celestial chasm.
She also knew that to advance further, she had to possess a complete small asteroid, or a satellite like the Moon. Although such celestial bodies existed in the Black Mist Star Realm, they were all far off the path of this Ancient Starry Sky Road, and it was nearly impossible to fly to them by her own power.
Moreover, even if she could fly over, the small asteroids in the Black Mist Star Realm were mostly claimed. This place was also the main nest of the Space Exotic Beasts, and any random Divine King Realm beast would have many helpers. The chances of her snatching food from the tiger’s mouth were slim.
Therefore, Luo Feifei focused on "conquering" this Ancient Road.
’Gate twenty-four. This has to be the end of the road, right? If not, then the end must be at a number like thirty-six, or forty-nine.’
Every time she reached one of these special gates, Luo Feifei would be filled with hope.
This gate was particularly special. It was located in a Meteorite Belt on the "Black Hole Edge."
Although it was called the "Black Hole Edge," it was actually several light-years away from the black hole itself. The black hole was just so massive that it looked as if they were right beside it.
At the edge of the black hole’s influence, there was no matter—even the mysterious black mist had been completely devoured. Yet this ancient city, hidden within the Meteorite Belt, still stood. Its mottled facade radiated an endless desolation and ancient aura, as if it had existed since time immemorial.
Suddenly, a roar echoed out as an octopus-like creature with many tentacles leaped from the Meteorite Belt and soared through space. It wasn’t a real sound—sound couldn’t travel in a vacuum. It was a Spiritual Attack. The roar pierced deep into Luo Feifei’s consciousness, making her head buzz.
"What are you screaming for?" Luo Feifei roared in anger. Just as she was about to charge forward with her sword, the environment abruptly changed. She found herself on Earth, back in her old home in Suzhou.
And there was Li Xiang, carrying a gift, coming to visit her.
"Feifei, congratulations on your new movie’s box office success!" Li Xiang said with a smile.
"What new movie? I haven’t filmed anything in years." Luo Feifei couldn’t tell if this was real or an illusion. ’Have I been reborn?’ she wondered.
"The movie version of *The Return of the Condor Heroes*, of course! The one we worked on together. I asked around and went to see it in theaters. The number of screenings and the attendance rates are both incredible." Li Xiang was also very happy. After all, it was his first time acting, and he was even playing a Dragon Knight. His partner was none other than the Little Celestial Immortal, a nationwide superstar.
