All Heavens: Becoming a Saint Begins in Deep Space

At the black jujube tree, Wang Li gazed into the distance, his pupils reflecting the image of a giant beast with crimson eye sockets.

The colossal beast in the distance emanated intense energy fluctuations, and the crimson reflection in its eyes and the violent roars from its mouth all revealed that it had lost its mind and was no longer something Wang Li could handle in his current state.

After Wang Li shouted "Run!", no one hesitated and everyone turned and scattered.

Several grandmaster-level experts moved the fastest.

Yang Lin, a master of new techniques, somehow sensed a natural restraint from that terrifying behemoth. The substance within his body, known as the God Factor, trembled, fearing the distant behemoth.

This perception was not an isolated case; anyone in the expedition team who had even slightly mastered the new technique could sense this situation.

In an instant, the crowd descended into chaos. This tremor from the God Factor filled them with fear, which overwhelmed their reason. They could only rely on their biological instincts to run and escape.

The crowd suddenly scattered, and nothing could hold them back, not even the most trusted members of the chaebol.

Zhong Qing was swept up in the chaotic crowd and pushed to the ground. She tried to stand up several times, relying on her old skills to forcibly stabilize herself, but someone kept knocking her down. Although her old skills were quite good, the rest of the people were all top-notch experts.

Her limited skills were completely useless in the chaotic crowd.

In contrast, those who practiced the old techniques didn't react as strongly; they could only sense the immense pressure emanating from the giant beast.

Wang Li ran in the lead, and he could keenly sense that something was wrong with them; they seemed to be afraid of the giant beast behind them.

Wang Li leaped up and rushed up a high tree branch like a monkey. However, only a few people who practiced the old techniques kept up with Wang Li and jumped up into the tree.

From the tree branch, Wang Li, with his keen eyesight, spotted Zhong Qing caught in the crowd. After thinking for a moment, he decided it was best to rescue her first, and that he would have to have Xiao Zhong take him to visit Old Zhong's study later.

Wang Li acted immediately, his movements swift and decisive. He moved with the agility of a gentle breeze, weaving through the chaotic crowd and arriving before Zhong Qing in an instant.

At this moment, Zhong Qing had just stood up when she saw Wang Li suddenly appear in front of her. She was still a little confused, wondering why Wang Li would come to find her in this crisis.

Wang Li didn't say much when he arrived in front of Zhong Qing. He picked Zhong Qing up by the waist and ran away.

Zhong Qing was stunned! What was going on? Just as Zhong Qing was about to get angry and tell Wang Li to put her down, she was stunned.

However, after seeing the monster behind her, the words she was about to say changed instantly.

"Ah! Master Wang, can you run any faster! The monsters behind us are catching up!" Zhong Qing was so frightened that her pretty face turned pale and she screamed incoherently.

Upon hearing this, Wang Li suddenly turned around and glanced back.

What came into view was a giant cat-shaped beast, more than four or five meters long, with five iron whip-like tails that danced wildly behind it. It had brown fur, three eyes on its forehead, the middle one being a vertical pupil, but now all three pupils were completely devoid of any clarity, the rest being entirely scarlet.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The monster was incredibly fast; trees along its path exploded beneath it one after another, doing nothing to slow it down.

Zhong Qing's pupils suddenly contracted. She could now clearly see that half of the monster's body was hanging between its fangs. It was a companion that had just been caught up with. As the monster chased after them, flesh and bone fragments were scattered on the ground as they were jostled around.

The monster chased and chewed on the person, the cracking sound of flesh breaking mixed with the person's screams, constantly stimulating Zhong Qing's nerves.

"Wang Li, run! Don't let it catch up with you!" Zhong Qing felt a chill run through her body, as if the monster was about to open its mouth and swallow her whole.

Wang Li didn't respond to Xiao Zhong. She ran forward silently, smashing the thorny bushes in front of her every now and then.

Zhong Qing, who was being bounced around on her shoulder, felt a little dizzy. All she could feel was the scenery around her flashing by.

Even though Wang Li is currently at the late stage of the seventh level of the Golden Body Technique, he is covered in sweat and has expended a great deal of energy.

Sometimes, the immense impact of Wang Li climbing slopes, crossing ditches, and jumping off cliffs made Zhong Qing feel that Wang Li was just a monster in human skin.

At this moment, Wang Li frowned and asked, "Xiao Zhong, don't you have any flesh on your body? Why do I feel uncomfortable?!"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Qing blushed and couldn't utter a single word.

Wang Li's legs left afterimages as he swung them, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake.

Half an hour later, Wang Li finally stopped. By then, Wang Li's clothes were tattered. Zhong Qing got off Wang Li and sat down directly. She had been jostled around all the way.

Xiao Zhong looked up at Wang Li, who was panting heavily. Through his clothes, she could see Wang Li's full chest muscles, firm abdominal muscles, and chiseled physique.

Zhong Qing glanced at it, and her already flushed face turned even redder. She lowered her head and looked at the ground, her pretty hands unconsciously pawing at the grass on the ground, as if trying to pull out some earth fairy grass.

At this moment, Zhong Qing seemed to have thought of something, silently turned around, and took out several steel plates from her clothes.

Watching this scene, Wang Li sighed, "Little Zhong, you really value your life."

Zhong Qing was quite shocked by Wang Li's words. She stomped her foot and glared at him angrily.

Then, Zhong Qing paused for a moment, looked up at Wang Li with a smile on her face, and said, "If you are Grandmaster Wang, then that Wang Xuan is Grandmaster Wang Xiao."

Before Wang could speak, he added, "Is that Master Chen the same Master Chen from the old land?"

Wang Li thought for a moment, since they would be exposed sooner or later anyway, so there was no harm in agreeing. He said, "Yes, Wang Xuan was the first one recognized by Wu Yin in the expedition team, so Wu Yin will rest near us."

Zhong Qing stared at Wang Li for a while, her expression becoming somewhat unnatural, and her gaze unconsciously drifted towards Wang Li again.

Zhong Qing snapped out of her daze and quickly turned around, patting her flushed face with her small, fair hands.

Wang Li was somewhat confused. He looked at Zhong Qing, wondering why she kept glancing at him and then looking down at him.

He shook his head and said to Zhong Qing, "Here you go."

As he spoke, he handed over a few black gold dates. These were the ones Wang Li had picked up while fleeing for his life. For him, who was already a Grandmaster, they were tasteless to eat but a pity to throw away.

Wang Li smiled at Zhong Qing and handed her a black gold date: "Here, what are you waiting for?"

He forcefully grabbed Zhong Qing's hand and stuffed the black jujube into her palm.

Zhong Qing snapped out of her daze, her face flushed red all the way to her ears.

Even if Wang Li was slow to realize, he noticed that something was wrong with Xiao Zhong, looking at the small bell that seemed to be smoking above its head.

A mischievous smile appeared on Wang Li's face. He leaned close to Zhong Qing's ear and whispered, "How was it? Had enough?"

Zhong Qing, who was looking down at the ground, suddenly trembled and took a few steps back, trying to remain calm as she said, "What? What are you talking about? I don't know."

As she spoke, her eyes darted around in their sockets, displaying an indescribable liveliness while also revealing a hint of guilt.

Wang Li smiled, a very happy smile.

Zhong Qing was furious and punched Wang Li twice.

He added, "Well, then I'll accept it. Aren't you going to explore the surrounding area? Go on."

After speaking, Zhong Qing paused again and whispered, "Be careful."

"Okay, you wait here for me, I'll be right back."

Wang Li smiled, a very clean smile.

Zhong Qing looked up and stared straight into his eyes—in those clear eyes, her own image was clearly reflected.

Finally, she nodded gently, but swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
