Chapter 1180 - 1059: Return
The Immortal and Demon Paths on the battlefield were almost entirely immersed in a brutal slaughter. The ground, which had only just begun to shed its blackened hue after birthing the Fierce Sha Beast, was once again stained with a crimson-black tide of fresh blood.
Cultivators who quickly realized something was amiss did not hesitate to flee the battlefield, escaping toward the Mountain and River Great Wall.
However, to their great misfortune, what awaited them was not salvation but yet another perilous environment—a true deathtrap!
But all this had nothing to do with Li Zhirui, who was flying across the Northern Domain skies. With the Golden Eagle piloting the Spirit Boat, he quietly stayed in the boat’s cabin to focus on his cultivation.
After all, the journey was long—returning to Mount Wanxian, even with smooth winds, would still take several years. Wasting such precious time was unthinkable. Li Zhirui was determined to break through as soon as possible, so he naturally seized every moment to cultivate.
The Golden Eagle harbored no complaints or dissatisfaction either. If anything, it wished they could instantly return to Mount Wanxian and transfer its contract over to the entire Li family, sparing it the constant anxiety of being dragged into mortal danger and dying an untimely death.
For safety’s sake, the Spirit Boat controlled by the Golden Eagle avoided venturing deep into the Northern Domain, instead flying tightly along the towering mountain range that extended endlessly into the clouds.
This mountain range stretched from the East Sea in the east to the Western Sea in the west, spanning an unfathomable expanse of trillions of miles. It served as a natural barrier separating the Northern Domain from the East and West Continents, effectively halting frequent interactions between the regions.
Any being who laid eyes upon this mountain range could not help but marvel at the prowess and ingenuity of the Ancient Remnant Race.
Indeed! This colossal range dividing the two continents was an artificial construct created by the Ancient Remnant Race of old. Its sole purpose was to preserve their last refuge.
