Chapter 185: The First Defeat and Escape
Pei Cangli shook his head and said with disappointment:
"No, it seems that there should be quite a few cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. Otherwise, with my current cultivation level, I shouldn't be able to sense anything."
Si Yunzhou comforted her, "Cangli, let's go and check it out ourselves. We will find out everything."
"Well, you have a point."
After saying that, the two continued to explore Tianxin Sea, but after turning around a few times, they found that they seemed to have been going around in circles.
It seemed like something was blocking their spiritual perception, which prevented them from getting out.
Seeing this situation, Pei Cangli directly launched attacks in all directions, and soon he could see barriers appearing around him.
At this moment, over the vast sea, the sky was so gloomy that it seemed to be pressing down.
Thick dark clouds rolled and surged like ink, and the howling wind raised huge waves that violently slammed the sea surface, making a deafening roar.
Pei Cangli was dressed in a fluttering blue dress, her figure was graceful yet strong. A faint blue light emanated from her body, like a bright star shining in this dark world.
She stood in the void, above the turbulent sea, her eyes filled with determination and fearlessness, staring at the Tribulation Crossing cultivator who appeared not far ahead.
No wonder she and Si Yunzhou couldn't get out. It seemed that the Tribulation Crossing cultivators in their prime could not be compared with the Void Refinement cultivators.
The monk in the Tribulation Crossing Stage was surrounded by black mist, with purple lightning flashing in the mist from time to time. A terrifying aura spread, making the surrounding space seem to be distorted.
His eyes were cold and majestic, like a god high above, looking down at Pei Cangli and Si Yunzhou in front of him.
With a cold snort, the cultivator in the Tribulation Period took the lead in launching an attack.
He quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered something. In an instant, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and purple lightning roared down like a giant dragon, striking straight towards Pei Cangli and the others.
Wherever lightning passed, the air was burned and distorted, and bottomless gullies were created on the sea surface. The sea water evaporated instantly, forming large patches of water mist.
Pei Cangli looked solemn upon seeing this. She waved her hands and blue light quickly condensed into a huge shield in front of her.
The runes on the shield flickered, emitting a mysterious power. The purple lightning struck the shield fiercely, emitting a dazzling light and a deafening roar.
The powerful impact caused Pei Cangli's body to tremble slightly, but she gritted her teeth and persisted, resisting this wave of attacks with all her strength.
However, the attacks of the Tribulation Crossing cultivators did not stop.
He flashed and instantly appeared beside Pei Cangli. The black mist in his hand turned into a long sword, and he stabbed towards Pei Cangli with endless sharpness.
Before the sword arrived, the sharp sword energy had already cut a deep crack in the sea surface.
Si Yunzhou wanted to step forward to resist, but was stopped by Pei Cangli.
"Ayun, don't go. We are no match for him."
After saying that, Pei Cangli pulled Si Yunzhou and quickly dodged to the side.
At the same time, a flash of light appeared in his hand, and a blue sword appeared. The sword body was crystal clear, like an ice sculpture.
She swung her sword, and it collided with the black sword of the Tribulation Crossing cultivator.
For a moment, light shone everywhere, and energy waves spread out like ripples. Huge waves dozens of feet high rose on the sea, surging as if they were going to swallow up the entire world.
The two sides fought fiercely on the sea, with each collision causing the sky and earth to change color and the wind and clouds to surge.
Although Pei Cangli is very powerful, he gradually seems unable to cope with the strong pressure from the cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage.
Her breathing began to become disordered and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
The cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage seized the opportunity and suddenly increased the intensity of his attack.
He cast a powerful spell, and black mist instantly spread out, enveloping Pei Cangli.
The fog was full of corrosive power. Pei Cangli's blue clothes were corroded and torn into pieces, and bloodstains appeared on his skin.
This was the first time Pei Cangli felt a sense of crisis since the last time she was hunted. She knew that if she continued like this, she would surely die.
There was a flash of determination in her eyes, and suddenly, she muttered something, and the blue light on her body instantly burst to the extreme, temporarily dispersing the surrounding black mist.
Then, she swung the sword in her hand, and a huge blue sword energy slashed towards the Tribulation Crossing cultivator.
The cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage tried to resist quickly, but the sword energy was so powerful that he was knocked back several steps.
Pei Cangli took the opportunity to turn around, pulled Si Yunzhou and turned into a stream of light, rushing towards the distance.
The Tribulation Crossing cultivator looked at the direction Pei Cangli left, snorted coldly, and did not chase after him.
The strong winds and huge waves on the sea gradually subsided, and the dark clouds slowly dissipated.
It was as if the fierce battle just now had never happened, leaving only a devastated sea surface and residual energy in the air, witnessing this thrilling battle.
After running a little further, Pei Cangli stopped and said to Si Yunzhou, "Ayun, we must improve our cultivation to the Tribulation Crossing Stage, otherwise we will just be beaten passively."
"Cang Li, I will listen to you."
He was only in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, but he forced her to flee for her life in a hurry. Who knows how many such Tribulation Crossing cultivators there were in the enemy's lair?
As expected, the higher the level of cultivation, the corresponding stronger the strength. It seems that the Void Refinement Stage and the Tribulation Crossing Stage are just one level apart, but when they fight, you will know how big the difference in strength is?
In the past, Pei Cangli could fight against three opponents at the same level. I don’t know if it was because the previous enemies were too weak? Or was it because the enemies he met today were too strong?
After leaving Tianxin Sea, Pei Cangli and Si Yunzhou flashed into the space, talked about what happened today, and then entered a training room.
Anyway, they are both practicing the same technique and both have attributeless spiritual roots, so they don't need to take up another practice room.
Soon a month passed, and Pei Cangli and Si Yunzhou came out of the training room with frustrated looks on their faces.
This was the first time the two of them came out with such expressions.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?"
"Hongyu, do you have any records about your divine beasts? Can the Void Refining Stage be quickly promoted to the Tribulation Crossing Stage?"
"Sister, haven't you and Brother Si improved your cultivation? You are both in the middle stage of the Void Refining Stage now."
Hearing this, Pei Cangli became even more depressed.
Her cultivation level did improve, but during the month she and Si Yunzhou were outside, they practiced day and night and even fought each other to stimulate their cultivation level, but it took more than a hundred years.
Moreover, today, they both clearly felt that with this method of cultivation, even after another hundred years, they would still not see any improvement, so they came out.
Si Yunzhou took the opportunity to ask Cang Cang and the others, "Do you have this feeling when you practice?"
Several people shook their heads in unison. They did not have this feeling. Moreover, they practiced in the space all day long and felt that they were improving faster than before.
But no one mentioned this tacitly. After all, Pei Cangli rarely showed this kind of expression on his face.
Is it because they both have natural spiritual roots?
So the further you progress, the slower your cultivation will be?
