Chapter 1484: Underground Small World

Ahead, Qingfeng Li ran, trying desperately to escape; behind him, the Sky God's Avatar calmly followed.

The Sky God's Avatar was not at all afraid that Qingfeng Li would get away from him. He walked slowly, but each step he took placed him right behind Qingfeng Li, following at a leisurely pace, always ten meters from his back.

Along the way, some Eastern self-cultivators tried to come to Qingfeng Li's aid. But each time they did, the Sky God's Avatar would emit a beam of light from his eyes, piercing their bodies full of holes and sending blood flying. The victims all died instantly.

These Eastern self-cultivators were no match for the Sky God's Avatar. Right now, under the possession of the Sky God, no one was a match for Nicholas, not even Qingfeng Li.

Seeing the Eastern self-cultivators who had died trying to help him, Qingfeng Li felt a pang in his heart.

These people were all his people. As the Chief of the Eastern World of Self-Cultivators, it was his duty to protect them, but he lacked the power to do so.

Qingfeng Li turned. "Stop! Get away from here," He shouted at the Eastern self-cultivators. "You're no match for him. "

As soon as he finished, Qingfeng Li turned, continuing his escape. However, another beam of white light was shot from the Sky God's Avatar's eyes.

This beam of light contained the energy of the Sky God; it was unstoppable. In an instant, the beam shot right through Qingfeng Li's lower abdomen, leaving a gaping hole and sending out a spray of blood.

Without a second of hesitation, Qingfeng Li took out more of the Spring Water of Life from his interspatial ring and gulped it down.

The water entered through his mouth, traveling down through his throat, his stomach, and finally all over his body. It turned into waves of burning energy, reinvigorating his entire body.

In the blink of an eye, the gaping hole in Qingfeng Li's abdomen had healed and his body was back to its original state. In all honesty, the regenerative ability of the Spring Water of Life was simply incredible.

Just now, Qingfeng Li had sustained severe injuries. He had been wounded by the Sky God's Avatar, causing his wounds to be infused by a sliver of the Sky God's godly energy. Despite this, the Spring Water of Life had still been able to completely heal the wounds.

Seeing the incredible regenerative power of the Spring Water of Life, the desire in the Sky God's Avatar's eyes grew more heated.

Even he, the Sky God of Light, craved the Spring Water of Life belonging to the Goddess of Life. It would increase his own power, as well as allow him to heal himself if he was ever wounded.

It was precisely due to the fact that the Sky God's Avatar wanted the Spring Water of Life that he was in no hurry to strike the killing blow on Qingfeng Li.

If it wasn't for the Spring Water of Life, the Avatar would have simply swung out a hand and turned him into a pile of mincemeat. However, doing so would destroy the Spring Water of Life as well. So, time and again, he tormented Qingfeng Li, merely inflicting large wounds and forcing him to stay in place.

Qingfeng Li made a mad dash toward the Dragon-Tiger Mountain. He was headed toward the place where the Peacock Demon Empress was being imprisoned.

Qingfeng Li knew that, while Nicholas was the Sky God's Avatar, no one would be able to fight him. Only the Peacock Demon Empress would be able to kill him.

The Peacock Demon Empress had been the most powerful entity of the ancient era. The Avatar did not know that the Peacock Demon Empress was trapped under the Dragon-Tiger Mountain. Otherwise, he would have killed Qingfeng Li by now.

Qingfeng Li was fast, but the Sky God's Avatar behind him was faster. He always appeared right behind him, not allowing him to escape.

The Avatar's eyes continued to shoot out white beams of light, wounding Qingfeng Li each time.

Gradually, Qingfeng Li's movements slowed. He felt a searing pain in his body. Looking forward, he saw a massive underground river of magma.

Reaching the entrance to the river of magma, Qingfeng Li did not hesitate. He leaped up and dove straight in.

Qingfeng Li was a practitioner of the Mortal Purgatory Body. Furthermore, he held the Golden Flames within his body.

Having devoured the flames in the Sky God Emissary's Godly Lamp, the Golden Flames now reached a temperature of eight thousand degrees.

Qingfeng Li's body was able to quickly adapt to the temperatures of the magma river. He swam through the river like a fish in water, moving at an extremely quick speed.

The Sky God's Avatar stood outside, staring at the magma river. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He had not expected Qingfeng Li to jump straight into the river of magma. And on top of that, he sensed that Qingfeng Li had not been harmed by the magma at all.

Questions filled the Sky God Avatar's mind. He clearly felt the magma river's temperature, it had to be over eight thousand degrees. An ordinary self-cultivator would have long since burned alive to the point of evaporation, leaving nothing behind.

Qingfeng Li, on the other hand, was completely fine. This was a testament to his strength.

But, strong as he may be, Qingfeng Li was still just a dead man in the Sky God's Avatar's eyes. He would definitely kill him this day.

"You think that, by hiding in the magma river, I would be unable to get to you?" The Sky God's Avatar sneered, disdain evident in his eyes. "I will blow the magma river to pieces and force you to come out."

The Avatar abruptly stretched out his right hand, forming a towering fist.

The fist was immense, the size of a mountain and blocking out the sky. It slammed straight down toward the magma river.

Boom!

With a massive boom, the giant boiling magma river was split in half by the Sky God's Avatar's palm. The impact sent magma flying into the air, which then fell to the ground and turned into rock and ash.

Qingfeng Li had been at the bottom of the river of magma. He, too, had been struck by the massive fist created by the Sky God's Avatar. All over his body, a few dozen bones had been broken and blood spewed from his wounds. He had sustained heavy injuries.

Qingfeng Li had thought that he would have been pounded to death by the giant hand. The fist had contained the power of a Sky God, there was no way he could have deflected it.

Despite having the Mortal Purgatory Body, Qingfeng Li was currently only at the Spirit Emperor realm. He still had a long way to go before reaching the technique's full potential of the Immortal level.

Boom, boom, boom....

From below the magma river, there came a series of booming noises. A massive black hole appeared in the riverbed. Immense quantities of magma flowed toward the hole and down into the pitch-black depths below.

Qingfeng Li was also swept down into the hole along with the magma. Then, the ground ceased its commotion. A giant rock appeared in its place.

Seeing this, the Sky God's Avatar's expression changed. Furring his brows, a hint of surprise shone through his eyes.

"An underground small world," the Avatar muttered to himself, contemplating. "Who'd have thought that I'd see an underground small world here?"

Earth was massive, but it wasn't just what humans saw. This place was a folded dimension

The continents kept secrets in many places. Examples include the Bermuda Triangle, Shennongjia, the Pacific Ocean, the Oceanic Dead Zones, the Mariana Trench, and the Mayan Civilization. The caverns under the Dragon-Tiger Mountain was, likewise, a small world.

Small worlds were different from other parts of the Continents. Each was its own dimension, with its own lifeforms and inhabitants.
