However, to Li Yan and the other's slight relief, their Divine Sense was no longer restricted here. But precisely because their Divine Sense was restored, their fear also multiplied.
Apart from the white light about seven or eight li away, the other three directions, as well as above and below them, were a boundless expanse of darkness and nothingness.
The scene their Divine Sense swept over made their hair stand on end, bringing them a feeling of eternal death, desolation, and helplessness.
At the location of the white light, apart from the flashing light, their Divine Sense could not penetrate it to see the situation behind it. This made the white light seem mysterious and unknown.
"Let's go over there!"
Although Li Yan didn't know what the light represented, all the other places were pitch black, as if countless pairs of dark eyes were hidden in the darkness, waiting for an opportunity to devour them.
Only that place was like a bright lamp in the dark night. No matter what, they had to go and see.
Zhao Min nodded in agreement. At this time, Zhao Min also poured her Spirit Power into the Spirit Power shield summoned by Li Yan. For a moment, Li Yan's pressure was reduced by a lot.
However, the arrogant tearing force from the outside tossed their flight path left and right, making their progress abnormally slow and difficult.
Just as the two of them had struggled forward for less than a hundred zhang, Li Yan's and Zhao Min's expressions suddenly changed. The tearing force around them suddenly became several times stronger.
With a "bang," the Spirit Power shield around them shattered, turning into specks of starlight that quickly disappeared into the dark world.
The two of them felt their breath catch. Their clothes, which were already of spirit treasure grade, were torn open by the surrounding force with "hissing" sounds.
Then, streaks of blood appeared on their exposed skin, and blood shot out from their bodies like arrows.
The two of them were also extremely quick to react. The Spirit Power in their bodies immediately began to circulate wildly, forming a Spirit Power defense again. Then, it was once again torn into specks of starlight by the surrounding force.
This time, the two of them were prepared, desperately replenishing the Spirit Power on the shield without holding back.
But in this way, their Spirit Power was consumed like a great river flowing east. In just three breaths, Zhao Min's face was as white as paper, and the Spirit Power in her body had become intermittent.
With a wave of his hand, Li Yan had a drop of "Rongsun" in his hand. Just as he was about to put it into Zhao Min's mouth, suddenly, the tearing force around them vanished without a trace again.
The resisting Spirit Power that had been pouring out of their bodies suddenly hit empty space. A feeling of misplaced force made their Dantian's Purple Mansion feel extremely uncomfortable, as if it had been emptied in an instant.
Then, as the two of them looked around in alert terror, time passed bit by bit, and all the tearing forces around them had completely disappeared, and they did not reappear.
"I don't know where this place is. We must be... doubly... careful!"
Li Yan gasped for breath as he sensed his surroundings.
Zhao Min's cultivation was not as good as his, and the Spirit Power in her body was almost at the point of exhaustion. She could only barely maintain her posture without falling, her face devoid of any color.
She could only nod slightly in response to Li Yan's words. The dangers they had encountered today were strange and vicious, things they had never even heard of.
If not for their incredibly strong survival instincts and the fact that they were both unusually calm for their generation, they might have developed the will to die after encountering such a series of changes, to just end it all.
Zhao Min had less than ten percent of her Spirit Power left, which was extremely dangerous. She endured the waves of weakness coming from her body, reached for her waist, and was about to take out a medicinal pill to consume.
She suddenly felt Li Yan's gaze on her, which seemed a bit dazed. And when her hand slapped her waist, she immediately noticed something was wrong.
Because, when her hand touched her Storage Pouch, the edge of her fingers also touched her own skin.
Only then did she snap to her senses. She quickly looked down and saw that her clothes had been torn open in more than a dozen large gashes from resisting the tearing force just now.
Large patches of smooth, white skin were exposed. Especially in the surrounding darkness, it was as dazzling as suet jade, and under the effect of Spirit Power, it had the alluring luster of porcelain.
Although Li Yan was in a similar state, in the cultivation world, many male cultivators often went bare-chested.
Li Yan's skin was already dark, so it didn't seem out of place in this environment.
Zhao Min's sparkling thighs and waist, and even her upper chest and back, were all exposed to Li Yan's eyes.
Li Yan only felt the blood rush to his head, and a hot current surged in his lower abdomen.
A rare look of shame and anger appeared on Zhao Min's jade-like face. Seeing Zhao Min's sudden change in expression, Li Yan finally snapped back to his senses. He awkwardly scratched the back of his head and quickly averted his gaze, turning his body to the side at the same time.
At this moment, Zhao Min, ignoring the consumption of her little remaining Spirit Power, had a hazy layer of light appear around her body, making it impossible for anyone to see her clearly.
At the same time, she quickly took a few steps back, putting some distance between herself and Li Yan.
A moment later, her cold voice came over.
"You think it looks good?"
Li Yan, with his back to her, had also quickly changed into a black robe. After swallowing a drop of "Rongsun," his Spirit Power was already abundant.
He was considering whether to give a drop to Zhao Min, but for a moment, he didn't dare to turn back, and he also felt that Zhao Min seemed angry.
Thinking about how he had been staring without any restraint just now, Li Yan was also annoyed with himself, not knowing what the other would think of him.
Just then, hearing Zhao Min's question, he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
'Good-looking? Or not good-looking?'
No matter how he answered, it would probably be inappropriate.
"Oh, swallow this drop. It can quickly restore your Spirit Power!"
Li Yan had to quickly change the subject. He turned around. At this time, Zhao Min was once again dressed in white, the blush on her face not yet faded, like a piece of flawless beautiful jade tinged with a rosy color. She was holding two porcelain bottles in her hand and was pouring out two pills to swallow. The aura on her body was also climbing steadily. Her eyelids were lowered, and there was no other expression on her face.
For a moment, it made it impossible for Li Yan to guess what she was thinking.
Hearing Li Yan's words, Zhao Min raised her beautiful face and looked at the drop of milky white liquid floating in front of her, but she didn't reach out to take it.
Instead, she looked at Li Yan with a strange gaze. Just when Li Yan's heart was starting to pound, she suddenly said something that almost made Li Yan cough up blood.
"Is it really for replenishing Spirit Power, or is it some kind of aphrodisiac you obtained during your travels? You..."
"I..."
Looking at Zhao Min's suspicious and wary expression, Li Yan felt a breath catch in his throat, and he almost bit his own tongue.
He hadn't expected Zhao Min to have such a fierce personality beneath her quiet exterior.
Zhao Min could sense the power contained in the milky white liquid. She estimated that it should be some kind of heavenly material or earthly treasure. Li Yan probably didn't have much of it.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been seen taking it out to swallow during their several previous dangerous encounters. Therefore, she didn't want it either. The pills she had on hand were, of course, also extremely effective pills that could quickly restore Spirit Power.
Since Li Yan had this kind of heavenly material and earthly treasure, she didn't need to give him her pills to take.
And just as Li Yan was dumbfounded, not knowing how to respond, the expressions of both of them changed, and almost at the same time, Spirit Power once again surged wildly from their bodies.
In an instant, the tearing force from all around reappeared, and for a time, the two of them were caught up in defending themselves...
More than ten breaths later, the surroundings were once again calm and peaceful. Li Yan and Zhao Min, being prepared this time, had their clothes damaged a little less.
Moreover, they had advanced another five zhang towards the white light. But the pills on both of them were being consumed in large quantities. If this continued, the pills they had would not be enough to support them until they reached the white light.
Li Yan was still better off. One drop of "Rongsun" was enough to withstand this tearing force, and there was no problem with being unable to refine the medicinal power.
Although Zhao Min's pills were good, they had Pill Poison residue.
In normal times, this could be ignored. One only needed to expel the Pill Poison while refining the pill.
But here and now, how could there be time for Zhao Min to refine it? The tearing force around them was completely unpredictable, coming and going as it pleased.
They needed to take advantage of the times when the tearing force disappeared to travel as fast as possible towards the white light, trying to cover as much ground as possible.
Though it was called traveling fast, their speed was actually becoming slower and slower. Li Yan also didn't immediately take out "Rongsun" for Zhao Min to take.
If he urged her to take it like that, she, who was not suspicious to begin with, would definitely become more so.
"The closer we get to the white light, the stronger the tearing force that appears each time becomes. And there's also a repulsive force coming from the white light, pushing this way. Even without the tearing force, this repulsive force makes it very difficult for us to get close."
Li Yan sent a voice transmission to Zhao Min. The two of them were like walking against the wind. Now, with every step forward, a force stronger than the last would come from the white light, blocking them so much that they could barely move an inch.
At the same time, they had to be constantly on guard against the tearing force that could appear at any moment.
If they were ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators, they would now be crawling on all fours towards the white light, unable to advance even a little. This showed the advantage of the demonic cultivators' strong physical bodies.
Li Yan and Zhao Min were both powerful practitioners of the Qiongqi Purgatory Art, and the toughness of their bodies was not inferior to that of demonic cultivators. Especially Li Yan, whose physical toughness was almost on par with a Golden Core demonic cultivator.
Under these circumstances, the two of them could still advance little by little.
But at this time, with every step she took, Zhao Min's forward-bent leg would emit a "kaka" sound, and her clothes were pushed back by the force from the front like a stretched flag.
The smooth muscle lines on Zhao Min's legs were fully stretched under her clothes, and she could only feel her legs trembling.
She couldn't help but look at Li Yan at her side. Li Yan's condition seemed to be much better than hers. Although it was difficult, his breathing was very long and steady, and he didn't seem to be going all out.
Although she was extremely curious about Li Yan's Qiongqi Purgatory Art and his cultivation realm, she didn't have time to ask about these things now.
Every word spoken would consume a lot of strength. Silence was the best self-protection.
Just like this, after the two of them struggled forward for another four li, Zhao Min was already drenched in sweat.
The Spirit Power in her Dantian began to show signs of chaos. That was the result of taking too many pills without refining them in time.
The closer they got to the white light, the greater the repulsive force it emitted. In addition, the tearing force that suddenly appeared and dissipated from all around made it impossible for the two of them to defend themselves.
Several times, Zhao Min was pulled to a very far distance, and fortunately, Li Yan was quick with his eyes and hands and pulled her back.
Amidst heavy panting, Zhao Min suddenly spoke.
"I... I... I sense... sense the... the aura of... of demonic beasts in the white light. These... these auras are... scattered... very... strong... and weak are... not... equal..."
After finishing this sentence in one breath, her full chest heaved violently again. This formed a sharp contrast with her flat stomach and slender waist, which was breathtakingly beautiful.
Li Yan quickly motioned for her not to continue speaking. He already understood what Zhao Min meant.
"There is the aura of demonic beasts," which meant that on the other side of the white light, there were living creatures. As long as they passed through the white light, they should be able to return to a normal living space.
"The demonic beast auras are scattered, and of varying strengths," which meant that the area behind the white light should be very large, and it should be a gathering area for some kind of demonic beasts. So, after they passed through the white light, they had to be careful.
