Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7258

Chapter 7171 Crisis

“So it seems the Phantom Whale’s ability to cover the surface is quite limited, only reaching up to the calves. But it’ll be enough for an emergency,” Li Tianming said, glancing at his feet.

At this moment, he began to sense the difference between this place and other places.

When he was first exposed to the cosmic rays, these predominantly black and red rays seemed to give him a tingling sensation; the initial damage wasn’t significant.

However, as he stayed in this environment longer, Li Tianming gradually began to feel a stinging pain.

Li Tianming frowned slightly and directly absorbed the cosmic rays with his Eye of Heaven to eliminate the slight discomfort.

He tilted his head slightly, looking at Lin Xiaoxiao beside him, and asked, “How are you feeling? Is there anything wrong?”

Lin Xiaoxiao pursed her lips slightly and said, “I don’t feel uncomfortable at all, in fact, I feel quite comfortable in this environment…”

“That’s good.” Li Tianming nodded and smiled slightly, “I used the Eye of Stealing Heaven to absorb it, and you also have the Eye of the Primordial Demon, so there shouldn’t be any problems.”

At this moment, Wu You said disdainfully, “She cultivates with me in symbiosis, so she naturally also possesses the Body of the Primordial Demon. This is our territory. If we’re being honest, it’s you, the Stealing Heaven Clan, who should be careful coming here!”

Li Tianming and Lin Xiaoxiao ignored it. At this moment, in this black and red world, the two of them sat on the surface of the Illusion Whale, silently observing everything.

However, just as the two of them leaned together, slowly waiting for the Illusion Whale to move forward—

suddenly!

A huge thing, resembling a black and red cloud, appeared in front of them!

“What is this?!” Lin Xiaoxiao was somewhat shocked.

Swoosh!

Li Tianming reacted quickly, immediately pulling Lin Xiaoxiao to lie down and hide within the illusion array of the Illusion Whale.

“Don’t make a sound yet,” Li Tianming said, turning to Lin Xiaoxiao.

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded, covering her mouth.

What suddenly appeared before them was a horde of ancient demons!

This massive horde resembled a moving ocean, with the Illusion Whale like a lone boat.

The difference in size was enormous; if they were to be submerged, even with the Illusion Whale concealed, a mere touch from one of the ancient demons could expose its existence, with unimaginable consequences!

Li Tianming and Lin Xiaoxiao hadn’t yet returned to their cabins, but were silently observing this terrifying scene from the surface of the Illusion Whale.

This horde of ancient demons swept past them like a black and red wave.

Under Li Tianming’s control, the concealed Illusion Whale remained motionless.

Continuing forward at such close range would definitely reveal its presence!

This horde of ancient demons included both female and male demons, almost a complete race.

“It seems they’re migrating?” Li Tianming was somewhat surprised.

In this situation, Li Tianming cautiously extended his left hand, using his Eye of Heaven to observe the internal situation of the Primordial Demon Clan.

As a result, he was shocked to see that deep within the Primordial Demon Clan, the largest Demon Queen, surrounded and protected by layers of armor, was a full light-year in size!

And the entire clan numbered a staggering hundreds of millions!

Faced with this situation, even Li Tianming felt a slight chill.

Although he had many powerful beings around him who could kill light-year-old experts as easily as drinking water,

the strongest combat force on the Illusion Whale was currently only at the Heavenly Venerable level. If the existence of the cosmic starship were discovered, it would be extremely dangerous!

Li Tianming felt a little apprehensive and could only silently wait for the Primordial Demon Clan to pass.

“I can escape through the boundary planet, but Xiaoxiao is still here. I can only wait patiently, hoping they won’t discover us,” Li Tianming thought to himself.

At this moment, Lin Xiaoxiao was also very nervous; she even gripped Li Tianming’s right hand tightly.

“If we really collide head-on, I doubt this starship will survive,” Aurora said gravely.

This was certainly not what Li Tianming wanted. He had already experienced firsthand how convenient the starship’s capabilities were along the way.

He couldn’t bear to part with such a useful starship, especially since it contained the Sky-Stabilizing Butterfly, a very precious item.

“How about we send Ling’er over?” Sui Shenyao tentatively suggested in Li Tianming’s ear.

“No,” Li Tianming shook his head, then continued, “Let’s wait and see. If Ling’er comes, with her five-light-year body appearing in this space, who knows if it will attract the attention of a top-tier ancient demon.” “The Sky-

Stabilizing Butterfly needs a quarter of an hour to bring Ling’er over. What if something unexpected happens and we don’t have enough time?” Sui Shenyao was slightly anxious. “

Yaoyao, don’t worry. As long as we maintain our distance, it shouldn’t be a big problem. After all, we even fooled the guards of the Heavenly Emperor’s Great Wall,” Li Tianming said calmly.

So everyone patiently waited…

Sure enough, even after the black and red wave of ancient demons had completely passed, not a single one of them discovered Li Tianming and his companions.

After the ancient demons left, Li Tianming and Lin Xiaoxiao returned to the main cabin of the Phantom Whale and chose to continue their journey.

This time, they slowed down considerably and were much more cautious, so they encountered no further incidents.

Of course, the most important point was that after slowing down, the Phantom Whale had already begun absorbing the Dao minerals upon entering the demon’s lair, and the split individual Yin Chen had caught up with Li Tianming’s progress.

Now, wherever Li Tianming could reach, Yin Chen had already laid out plans and could foresee dangers.

This time, the slower voyage would take approximately two years.

Li Tianming suddenly looked at Lin Xiaoxiao beside him and asked, “Did you sense anything?”

Lin Xiaoxiao focused on sensing for a moment, then nodded hesitantly, “It seems there’s been a change. The cosmic rays are different; there are now ‘Nine Heavens Punishment Rays,’ ‘Netherworld Firefly Corrosion Rays,’ and ‘Dark Ruins Rays.’ The other cosmic rays have weakened, but haven’t disappeared yet. I suspect there might be something different nearby.”

“That’s similar to what I sensed,” Li Tianming nodded.

Then, the two of them used their Heaven-Stealing Eye and Primordial Demon Eye respectively to investigate the source of the changes in the cosmic rays more clearly.

After a while…

Li Tianming, who had closed his eyes and was only slowly sensing with his Heaven-Stealing Eye, suddenly opened them, his eyes meeting Lin Xiaoxiao’s blood-red eyes.

“I’ve found the direction. There seem to be cosmic rays ahead that activate my bloodline,” Li Tianming said, his gaze burning.
