Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

The spear blossomed into silver flowers gleaming with a sharp, cold light in mid-air, instantly igniting all the black beasts.

Wisps of mist drifted and swayed in the air as if they were alive, looking from a distance like swarms of flying insects dancing in the air.

Instead of condensing, the black smoke spread outwards rapidly, seemingly trying to fill the entire space.

They've changed the running method again? But what's the point?

Li Xia seemed to be engulfed in blazing white flames, and the sun ring on the back of the black gloves he was wearing suddenly lit up.

The blazing white flames, transformed from true qi, burned and boiled between his hands.

He suddenly clasped his hands together, then waved them to the sides, and terrifying white flames burst out from around his body, like a giant flower of fire blooming in the entire space.

The black mist emitted a strange, piercing "sizzling" sound simply from being burned.

After this series of blows, the black beast's health bar had already dropped to the seventys, and now its 'life points to sustain its existence' were decreasing even more rapidly.

It doesn't actually have a conventional thing like health points; what Li Xia burns is that ethereal, indescribable thing.

It was actually easier to transform into this form. The startled black mist around them surged together wildly, condensing into a black shape.

Those chaotic eyes, filled with malice and hatred, let out a roar and lunged at Li Xia, countless tentacles extending from its back once more.

Clearly, the black beast had also discovered this, and escaping from this place would only cause it to suffer even greater damage.

To kill the person opposite him, he had to endure this time. He could clearly feel that the space in front of him could not be maintained for long, and the surrounding area was even slowly shrinking.

Originally, it was over a hundred meters long, but now it has shrunk by about one-fifth.

The black beast roared and pounced, dozens of tentacles on its back shooting out like poisoned spears, sealing off all angles of evasion with a shrill whooshing sound.

In the world depicted by the Map of Mountains and Rivers, Li Xia is the true ruler!

With a light tap of his toes, his figure left several afterimages.

The Night Silence Spear and the Boundary-Breaking Axe flew alternately in his hands, their cold light forming a dense, impenetrable net.

The sounds of blades piercing flesh were continuous, and tentacles broke off and scattered, turning into clumps of thick juice.

The black beast was still thinking of using the same trick again, continuing to use the black mist drawn by its tentacles to erode Li Xia's existence.

But just as it began to disperse, the same pitch-black color swirled up all around, like thick ink ground from a fine ink stick, quickly swirling into the black mist.

As the tentacles were shredded, the black beast's lunging body came into view, and time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Li Xia exhaled, crouched down, his spear and axe at his sides, and his figure vanished instantly, seemingly transforming into a streak of cold light.

A dense array of lights flashed across the black beast's body, encircling its form.

The black beast's pounce missed completely, its front paws slamming heavily to the ground. It lowered its head, seemingly realizing something.

"Awooo—!"

The black beast's body exploded, its mangled remains dissipating into a thick fog.

But then it flew back like a swallow returning to its nest, and once again coalesced into a body.

It roared in resentment, trying to activate its own power of rules, but most of its rules remained outside, and the few remaining ones could not even cause a ripple under the suppression of the Mountain and River Map.

"Your rules... don't work here!"

The sound was still spreading, but the cold light had already reached the black beast's belly. He bent down and slid across the ground, the axe blade flashing upwards in an arc, directly slicing open the black beast's soft lower abdomen.

Immediately afterward, he spun around and twisted his waist, and the Night Silence Spear plunged into its side. With a flick of his wrist, he dispersed the tightly packed, regular solidified matter inside.

The black beast let out a painful roar, its body suddenly contracting, giving it no chance to catch its breath.

His figure moved so fast that he was just a streak of silvery-white light.

The spear and axe clashed, forming an extremely sharp cage in front of the black beast, repeatedly shredding, reassembling, and shredding his body again and again.

The tentacles were severed as soon as they stretched out, and the barrier was unleashed by the Boundary-Breaking Axe as soon as it was formed.

Health: 46%.....41%.....37%.......

The numbers jumped faster and faster, and the black beast's body visibly dimmed. Its originally solid body began to become illusory, with black mist spreading from its edges, which was then sizzled by the true qi flames that Li Xia casually flicked out.

It thrashed about wildly, its claws slamming against the walls of space, creating ripples.

Li Xia's expression remained calm, as if his gaze was fixed solely on the black beast, but he knew in his heart that this advantage would not last long.

The ink-wash color at the edges has begun to peel away, revealing a chaotic area outside, with fine cracks spreading quietly like a spider web.

Under the suppression of the World and Black Beast domains, the Mountain and River Map is nearing its limit.

Li Xia took a deep breath, and the light on the axe blade in his hand surged. He transformed into a straight golden line, slashing diagonally upwards from bottom to top.

The axe blade struck the black beast squarely in the core of its chest.

That was where its rules were most concentrated. The black beast let out an extremely shrill howl, and thick black mist gushed out.

Health: 26%!

Just then, a series of fine cracking sounds rang out, and the entire ink-wash space completely collapsed.

The scroll rapidly shrank and flew back into Li Xia's body. The surrounding scenery distorted, and the two fell back into the outer area.

The black beast crashed heavily onto the shore of the black lake, its body shrinking by nearly a third, and black mist still emanating from the huge wound on its chest.

There's still 26%...

Li Xia's gaze was solemn.

But at that moment, the black beast's domain suddenly stopped, and cracking sounds came from its outer edge.

Then, as if a mirror had shattered, countless fragments flew everywhere, scattering in all directions.

Li Xia was taken aback and looked at the black beast in the distance, its eyes filled with resentment and it was also panting heavily.

It seems... your field has reached its limit.

Written at 35, yes, I'm another year older.

I celebrated my birthday with readers once again through the book.

Last year I lamented that I wanted to buy osmanthus flowers and share wine, but it was no longer like the carefree days of my youth.

All I want to say this year is... Time, time, please slow down!

Dear readers, I love you all!

Chapter 39 The Cry of Misfortune

Both stood on the surface of Black Lake, taking advantage of this brief respite to do their best to adjust themselves.

Actually, it was Li Xia who was making adjustments. The black beast wasn't a real creature, but its body was destroyed by Li Xia inside the Mountain and River Map.

Some rules were even shattered so thoroughly that the Black Beast could no longer integrate them into its body.

The things that kept scattering from its chest, like stardust with tiny glimmers, were those fragments of rules that could not be contained.

Li Xia raised an eyebrow, and suddenly layers of black light began to rise from the black beast's body.

It's as if a shell encloses it, making it look like an egg.

Li Xia was taken aback. Could this thing have a second stage?

If there's a second phase... wouldn't I be in danger?

The black egg didn't last long; just a few seconds later, cracks appeared on its surface.

The eggshell peeled away piece by piece, revealing a strange creature. Its body was still in the shape of a black beast, but it had become much more condensed and smaller, appearing to be only slightly taller than Li Xia.

It only had a human-like body growing out of the front of its body, making it look like a centaur.

The half-human figure was Yuan Xu. He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze still filled with madness.

Li Xia breathed a sigh of relief; at least it wasn't the second stage!

As for why the black beast suddenly changed its form, he didn't care.

He lowered his body, the water beneath his feet exploded, and a thin white line instantly connected to the black beast's front.

As if just realizing what was happening, the lake water suddenly burst open along the white line, splashing water to both sides and creating huge waves.

The axe blade in his left hand flipped over and slashed toward the black beast's neck, while the Night Silence in his right hand, equally gleaming, pierced toward the black beast's chest.

Li Xia performed this seemingly awkward movement without any sense of incongruity; in fact, it was exceptionally smooth.

A strange smile appeared on Yuan Xu's face. Suddenly, he opened his arms and kicked off with his thick hind legs.

It was as if he had grasped the deep darkness in his hands, and he stabbed fiercely at Li Xia, showing no concern whatsoever for the harm he was about to suffer.

Li Xia's gaze sharpened, and with a flick of his fingers, the small axe suddenly spun half a circle, changing its trajectory, and met the black light with its axe head.

He also flicked the Night's Silence sword upwards and struck it to the other side.

The moment the two weapons collided with the black light, it was as if two beams of light merged, silently and without a sound.

But the entire lake seemed to boil, the surrounding lake level suddenly dropped by tens of meters, and a huge amount of lake water was pushed aside by an invisible force and then surged towards the sky.

The surging water obscured his vision and blocked out the sunlight. Li Xia suddenly retreated, and several cold glints appeared in front of him.

"Bah!"

Amidst a teeth-grinding sound, several streams of bright red blood spurted out.

Li Xia's gaze turned exceptionally gloomy. He looked down at the crisscrossing claw marks on his chest, then at the black beast whose face still wore a maniacal smile.

In that instant, in addition to the blade of rules formed from half of the human body, the lower half of the black beast also locked down the space and solidified the surrounding air.

In that brief instant, the rule blades that had also condensed on the black beast's claws tore through its defenses.

The reason I wasn't seriously injured or cut to pieces is entirely because I dodged quickly!

No wonder it turned into this strange shape... was it so it could fight itself in close combat?

The wound on his chest was healing with difficulty, but the remnants of the power of the rules clung to him like maggots, hindering his body's self-healing.

With a flick of his wrist, he hung the axe back on his waist, and wielded the spear nimbly in his hands. Li Xia's body trembled, and he gripped the spear with both hands, pointing it forward.

The incredibly resilient spear trembled and emitted a series of hissing sounds.

The surrounding water swirled like a whirlwind, spreading out in all directions.

Melee combat... let's go!

.....................................

"ah------!"

Emerald screamed, and emerald light emanated from her eyes, mouth, nose, and even ears. Her body was covered in fine, intricate wounds.

Like a tattered rag doll, the tuner in front of him was unharmed, even somewhat relaxed.

The jade floated in mid-air, the earth rumbled, and chunks of ground rose high into the air.

Countless enormous vines swayed wildly as they burst forth from the ground, instantly forming a massive vine jungle.

These vines shimmer with a faint green light, some even reaching hundreds of meters in height, with countless tiny branches sprouting from each main trunk.

It bound the tuner as if it were alive.

At this moment, only despair remained in Emerald's heart. She only hoped that she could hold off the other party before she died.

The gap between the two sides was so vast that all the methods she used seemed like child's play to the other side.

The reason he hasn't been killed by the other side yet is entirely because of the dog beside Darkflame.

Emerald's gaze shifted slightly. Xiaotian was already lying on the ground, one of his hind legs broken, revealing the white bone fragments.

If it weren't for the fact that its chest was still rising and falling, Jade would have even suspected that it was dead.

"Bang bang bang bang"

A series of cracking sounds drew Emerald's attention back to the tuner, who, despite being entangled in countless vines, continued to walk towards her step by step.

With great effort, he lifted his hands, and blood trickled from his seven orifices, dripping down his body.

Emerald gritted her teeth and used her last bit of strength to infuse her will into it.
