Chapter 350: Chapter 354: Pursuit_1
In the world of martial artists, death was everywhere. In this world, more ruthless than any gladiatorial arena, all martial artists had to carve their path to the throne through slaughter. Only by stepping over piles of bones could one wear the crown of ultimate supremacy.
Jin Baoqian’s hands were also stained with much blood. He had felt nothing when killing others, but now that it was his turn, he experienced endless fear.
"If you must blame someone, blame your own fate!" Soul Martial Ancestor said indifferently.
A thousand feet away, the Void completely collapsed. Two chains, like iron dragons capable of destroying everything in the world, lingered in the celestial dome, isolating all Five Elemental powers.
Jin Baoqian’s escape route was completely sealed.
He now had only one choice: abandon escape and fight Soul Martial Ancestor to the death.
"Divine Skill, Five Elements Reincarnation Seal!"
Jin Baoqian turned, his eyes gleaming with murderous intent. His hands constantly formed seals, and different powers of the Five Elements appeared at his fingertips, constructing a cycle of Reincarnation before him.
An endless cycle of Reincarnation, the final destination of the deceased. It was filled with a dense power of death and aimed to envelop Soul Martial Ancestor.
All the Void it passed through was swallowed by the Reincarnation vortex, vanishing completely and leaving nothing behind. Everything disappeared.
"Divine Skill, Eye of Dao!"
Soul Martial Ancestor sneered. A vertical eye appeared on his brow; its eyeball was entirely white, containing world-destroying power and not a shred of emotion.
A white pillar of light shot from the Eye of Dao. The Void before it split apart as the light beam passed, striking the Reincarnation vortex.
BOOM!
The earth-shaking sound reverberated between heaven and earth.
The Reincarnation vortex Jin Baoqian cast was directly penetrated. The incomparably potent power of the Dao, with crushing force, ruthlessly suppressed the profound intent of the Five Elements Reincarnation.
It held for only a moment before the Reincarnation vortex shattered and dissipated into the heavens and earth.
His Divine Skill destroyed, Jin Baoqian threw his head back and spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with shattered internal organs. His body flew backward like a bird with broken wings, crashing to the ground.
A bloody hole appeared on the chest of his white clothes, leaving a crimson, flower-like stain on the fabric.
The supreme power of the Dao was rampaging through his body, devouring his vitality.
Soul Martial Ancestor slowly landed, his black robe fluttering. He walked towards Jin Baoqian, and with each step, the murderous intent grew stronger.
Jin Baoqian struggled continuously, but his injuries were too severe for him to stand. He could only glare at Soul Martial Ancestor with resentful eyes.
"Shouldn’t you be happy to die for your master? Why the reluctance?" Soul Martial Ancestor asked, smiling and revealing his white teeth.
Isn’t death a noble thing?
Only in death can one return to the Master’s embrace!
"I don’t understand! I really don’t!" Soul Martial Ancestor shook his head repeatedly, a hint of madness in his eyes. He swung the black chain, preparing to deliver the fatal blow.
WHOOSH!
The chain tore through the air, emitting a piercing sound.
Jin Baoqian closed his eyes, his lips pale, awaiting death’s arrival.
"Stop!" Dongfang Zhantian shouted, flying in from a distance in the nick of time. He swung his sword, condensing a black and white Sword Qi that slashed down fiercely with infinite power.
Black represented worldly power!
White represented spatial power!
The Sword Qi, formed by two of the world’s most powerful forces, naturally possessed remarkable power, capable of destroying almost anything.
CLANG!
With a crisp metallic collision, the black chain snapped.
Dongfang Zhantian grabbed Jin Baoqian and flew into the distance, leaving a series of afterimages in the Void. Finally, they vanished without a trace into a spatial vortex.
"Good. Very good!" Looking at the broken chain, Soul Martial Ancestor laughed through his anger, his eyes glinting with a dangerous light.
He took out a crystal ball, located the Spacetime Divine Body, and gave chase. Since Dongfang Zhantian enjoyed saving people, Soul Martial Ancestor decided to eliminate him first.
Anyway, there was still plenty of time. This game of hunter and prey could continue for a long, long time.
Hundreds of miles away, in a gorge, two figures appeared.
Lying on the ground, Jin Baoqian said weakly, "Thank you, Brother Dongfang, for your help. I have nothing with which to repay this life-saving grace. If you need anything in the future, please, just ask!"
"You’re too kind, Brother Jin," Dongfang Zhantian said, waving his hand. "I just discovered the Eternal Temple’s secret," he continued seriously. "They should possess a treasure capable of locking onto special physiques. The Primordial Secret Realm we’re in might also be the Eternal Temple’s doing, their goal being to capture us!"
Upon hearing this, Jin Baoqian’s eyes nearly bulged from their sockets.
But after a moment’s thought, he believed Dongfang Zhantian. The Eternal Temple had always coveted special physiques, and now they were embroiled in a massive conspiracy.
"We must notify the others to resist the Eternal Temple together! We also need to find a way to leave this Primordial Secret Realm!" Jin Baoqian declared, his expression solemn.
He was, after all, the Young Master of the Golden Inn, the largest commercial organization on the continent; he immediately grasped the crux of the matter.
"Correct!" Dongfang Zhantian nodded. "You focus on healing first," he urged gravely. "I’ll go find the others!"
After a brief discussion, Dongfang Zhantian hurried away. He had just thwarted Soul Martial Ancestor, who was now undoubtedly in pursuit, leaving him little time.
Jin Baoqian remained to recuperate. Once his injuries showed improvement, he would set off to inform the others.
He’s moving again. Is he trying to inform the others?
Staring at the crystal ball, Soul Martial Ancestor saw Dongfang Zhantian’s position change, and his brows furrowed deeply.
If Dongfang Zhantian managed to find the other prodigies and they united, even Soul Martial Ancestor would be powerless against them.
After all, he himself was just a young prodigy. His combat power might be somewhat stronger, but not overwhelmingly so. He couldn’t possibly take on all the other prodigies alone.
"No! I must eliminate him quickly, or else..." Soul Martial Ancestor hissed, pushing his Spiritual Energy to its absolute limit, his speed increasing dramatically.
In the Endless Abyss, Four Incompatible carried Qin Wudao and landed on the ground.
It opened its mouth and spat out four brilliantly glowing treasures: the Pangu Banner, the Apricot Yellow Flag, the Ten Thousand Lamps, and the Jade Ruyi!
The Pangu Banner was the most radiant, its surface covered in mysterious patterns, flowing with the aura of the Chaos Dao.
Qin Wudao accepted the four treasures without ceremony. Instantly, system prompts sounded in his mind.
"DING! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Primordial Spirit Treasure, Pangu Banner. Sign-in reward: Chaos Qi. Use now?"
"DING! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Primordial Spirit Treasure, Apricot Yellow Flag. Sign-in reward: Hero Li Jing. Summon now?"
"DING! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Primordial Spirit Treasure, Ten Thousand Lamps. Sign-in reward: Medicine King Sun Simiao. Summon now?"
"DING! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Primordial Spirit Treasure, Jade Ruyi. Sign-in reward: Book of Life and Death. Use now?"
Chaos Qi!
Li Jing!
Sun Simiao!
The Book of Life and Death!
Four treasures, yielding two individuals, and one of them is the Medicine King!
I’ll be able to heal Guo Jia soon! Qin Wudao thought, a smile spreading across his face, tinged with anticipation. He had constantly worried about Guo Jia’s curse.
