With the Alligator’s vitality, it still struggled for a few minutes before it died even though its heart was pierced.

“Boom!”

Suddenly, the back of the Alligator exploded, and a figure leaped out. It was Li Xiang.

In fact, Li Xiang didn’t need to do anything at all. He only needed to restore the Tower of Stars to its normal size, and it would be enough to blow up the Alligator.

However, it was likely that the Alligator would not die immediately. It would be better to destroy its heart first.

With a slight shake of his body, the flesh and blood outside the protective light shield fell off. His body seemed to be unaffected, and his clothes were clean and tidy.

Looking at the dead Alligator, Li Xiang said indifferently, “What a stupid fellow. You’re seeking your death!”

Just when he thought that the Alligator was completely dead, it suddenly opened its eyes. With a cold, ruthless, and brutal look, it suddenly scuttled, stretched out its neck, and bit again.

This bite was sudden and swift. It was even more terrifying than the first bite.

This was a desperate strike from the Alligator before its death. It gave up everything and was full of the intention of perishing together.

“Swish!”

Li Xiang moved slightly and dodged backward. At the same time, he raised his hand and a silver-white light directly flew out of the Alligator’s big mouth. At a certain moment, the light suddenly soared.

“Roar!”

The Alligator let out a strange cry. Its big mouth opened uncontrollably, and it could not close at all.

As it turned out, the Tower of Stars had already arrived in the mouth of the Alligator. The tower swelled up and forcefully opened the Alligator’s mouth.

Moreover, it was the kind of unbearably uncomfortable feeling where it couldn’t spit out or swallow it.

It was already heavily injured. Although its teeth were sharp, they were completely useless against the Tower of Stars. They couldn’t even leave a scratch on it.

However, the Tower of Stars continued to expand, tearing the Alligator’s mouth into two. It was completely dead now.

With a thought, Li Xiang kept the Alligator’s corpse in the Tower of Stars.

The Alligator was a divine-grade beast, and its entire body was a treasure. Its scales, flesh, and bones were all top-grade materials.

“Crocodile meat is tasty. I wonder how the Alligator tastes? After all, it contained the Dragon race’s bloodline, so it was time for me to have a taste of it! When I get back, I’ll ask Chef Chen Tao to prepare an Alligator feast and treat all the higher-ups to a good meal!”

Once again, the Tower of Stars transformed into a tiny starlight and was absorbed by Li Xiang into the Starlight Shrine Square. Then, it fell.

Compared to before, the original eight-story tower had become nine stories. The starlight power attracted from the sky had become even denser.

This time, killing the Alligator could be considered a blessing in disguise. Not only did he obtain the Heart of the Swamp, but he also opened up a new grotto-heaven secret realm. The Alligator itself was also a good thing, and its whole body was full of treasures. The harvest in this swamp world was also considered rich enough.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he was swallowed by this fellow by chance, he would have to go through a lot of trouble to kill it in a place like a swamp.

After all, even though its intelligence wasn’t high, it would still run away when its life was threatened.

The swamp was so big that it would not be easy to find it again. He also had to be on guard against sneak attacks, which made him even more difficult to kill it.

Suddenly, Li Xiang felt a trace of evil intent, but he couldn’t find the source of it.

It was as if there were malicious gazes everywhere, making one’s hair stand on end.

Even his body felt restricted by the malicious intent, and his movements became sluggish.

Li Xiang’s mind flashed with inspiration. He looked up at the sky and understood.

This was the evil intent of this world!

He had been completely rejected by this world!

“It seems that my act of devouring the Heart of the Swamp has been regarded as an enemy by this world. This place can no longer accommodate me and is about to expel me.”

Li Xiang felt that it was a pity. There was still too much sludge and poisonous water that the Tower of Stars had yet to devour. However, he knew that he couldn’t go against the entire world.

Even though the Tower of Stars contained the power of nine worlds, he could not truly mobilize this power to resist the entire world.

It was as if he was in the enemy’s territory and facing an enemy who had complete control over the world’s laws. He could not use his strength at all.

Moreover, he had taken the most valuable treasure in this world. If he were to be greedy, he would invite a big disaster.

“Swish!”

A light flashed through, and Li Xiang had already disappeared from the swamp world.

The entire swamp world regained its peace. However, the Heart of the Swamp had been devoured, and there was no longer an endless supply of sludge and poisonous water. It was almost impossible for it to recover to its previous state.

However, nurturing a Heart of the Swamp not only required time but also special opportunities. At least, it was impossible to do so in a short period.

Even without Li Xiang and the Heart of the Swamp now, the swamp world was still there. Its laws were still there, and there would be more and more swamp power constantly transformed by the Bagua platform. All that was needed was time to breed a new Heart of the Swamp.

Li Xiang stood on the third level of the platform and looked around. There was no one around.

It was obvious that the foreign races and other human race transcendents had yet to arrive.

“I actually came out just like that. I thought it would take a lot of effort but I didn’t expect it to be so simple. And now I’m on the third floor. Does this mean I’ve already cleared the level?”

He was about to check the platform. He suddenly discovered that an invisible barrier had completely sealed off his position but it did not restrict his body.

“I can’t leave my current position. What’s going on?”

He pushed the invisible barrier with all his might, but it didn’t move at all.

“Eh? There’s something in the middle of the platform.”

After Li Xiang realized that he couldn’t leave, he didn’t force his way in. Instead, he carefully looked around.

Beneath his feet, nine lines divided the platform into eight parts. At the same time, a huge amount of heaven and earth vitality was constantly gathering here before disappearing.

In the middle of the third platform was a circular black-and-white yin-yang Taiji diagram. As the black and white divine light swirled, there was something faintly visible in the light.

That strange Qi movement made people yearn for it. It was mysterious and profound.

However, no matter how hard he tried, even if he used the Starlight Divine Eye, he could not see what was inside. He could only feel divine light circulating a divine treasure.

This was not an ordinary treasure!

“Could it be that the legendary treasure is here?”

Li Xiang’s heart was trembling.

This kind of treasure was not ordinary. Even the yin and yang energy flowing on it were not ordinary.

“This nine-pointed star isn’t the real nine-pointed star. Instead, it corresponds to the power of the nine palaces. The nine palaces and Bagua array gathers the energy of heaven and earth. It can even create a grotto-heaven world. What kind of supreme treasure can be produced by placing it on the platform at the core then?”
