I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, So I’ll Max Out My Defense

Chapter 1403: Chapter 1404 Immortal Gods Realm

Li Xiaobai carried the crystal old man on his shoulder.

This was his first official step into the grey domain. Terrifying energy surged wildly, constantly pouring into his body.

He could clearly sense that this massive power was not inherently malicious or attacking outsiders, but rather a novel and incomparably pure energy. The moment this energy made contact with cultivators, it surged into their bodies like a swarm. However, this power was so pure that it vastly exceeded the tolerance limits of cultivators from the Central Origin Realm, resulting in most of them exploding and dying upon contact.

This was the reason why countless strong cultivators who once stepped onto the grey staircase immediately exploded and perished.

The Saint Realm cultivation level alone was insufficient to contain this energy. Only those who had surpassed the Saint Realm and reached the Transcendent Level could barely adapt to the terrifyingly pure power.

Fortunately, most of the energy was being absorbed by the crystal old man on his shoulder, sparing him from enduring excessive pressure.

“I wonder who placed this kind of power here. It seems like their intention was to aid those ascending the stairs. It’s a pity, though, that the energy left behind is too pure. Instead of helping, it ends up causing them to blow apart.”

“If I didn’t have the crystal old man, things would’ve been unimaginably difficult. Thankfully, I brought him along.”
