Chapter 21: A Fight to the Death! Walking in the Primordial World, How Can One Avoid the Blade?

Yuan Lian had anticipated that Taoist Wu Xing would come after him, but he didn’t expect it to be this fast.

Since the encounter that day, Yuan Lian’s direction of travel had changed from northwest to east, just in case.

But in just a few short months, he had already noticed the mighty spiritual presence behind him, spanning countless billions of miles.

That vast Divine Sense was so tyrannical, sweeping across the area all the way, unbridled; that’s why Yuan Lian easily discovered it.

“Is it really necessary? Isn’t it just an Innate Spiritual Root?” Yuan Lian muttered, unable to complain, so he had to continue running.

A few days later.

“Found him, in the east!”

Taoist Wu Xing, who flew across the sky like a shooting star, paused suddenly, stopped, and transmitted sound to Xuan Chen.

Because Ancestor Xuan Chen ploughed the ground as he walked, he fell behind Wu Xing.

Hearing what his friend said, Xuan Chen immediately put away his spiritual thoughts and approached at an astonishing speed.

“What a cunning cultivator! No wonder I haven’t found him after searching for a long time; it turns out he turned to the east,” Xuan Chen couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

“Hmph, this cultivator is full of tricks, and he doesn’t look like a good person at first glance.”

Thinking of being the majestic overlord of his side who was actually deceived by a junior in the Mid-stage Golden Immortal Realm, the Taoist of the Five Elements was really angry and resentful.

“However, since we found him, he is doomed!” Wu Xing said with a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth.

He had waited for this moment for a long time.

He just wanted to let out a sigh of relief and get back what he lost along the way.

Incidentally, they almost forgot to mention helping Fellow Daoist Li Yuan by taking revenge…

With this in mind, Taoist Wu Xing immediately increased his speed to the extreme and quickly approached Yuan Lian.

Taoist Xuan Chen followed closely behind, like a shooting star.

Because there was no need to search hundreds of millions of miles with Divine Sense, they only needed to lock in one direction, so the speed was three points faster than before.

The crisis was approaching; although Yuan Lian’s heart was beating violently, his expression was surprisingly calm.

“Whoever wants to kill me, even if I fall, I will drag the enemy down with me!”

A ruthless look flashed in Yuan Lian’s eyes.

Everything happened too suddenly.

Originally, based on his personality, he planned to find Fei Lian to form a team first, and then silently improve his strength.

Unexpectedly, due to a stroke of good fortune, it has developed to this point.

Walking along the riverbank, how can one not get their shoes wet?

In the Primordial World, how can one avoid the blade?

However, he is no longer the meek boy he used to be. He is an Innate Sacred Being, a strong man in the Mid-stage of the Golden Immortal Realm!

In today’s Primordial World, except for the few Perfected Immortals who can be counted with fingers, he can barely be said to be among the strong.

After a few hours.

“Hahaha, Little Friend Mu Gong, I hit it off with you and came here on purpose to find you. Why is Fellow Daoist running away?”

Hundreds of millions of miles away, the Taoist of the Five Elements couldn’t hide his emotion.

The mighty sound traversed hundreds of millions of miles of space in an instant, reaching Yuan Lian’s ears.

Although he was very furious, the Taoist Wu Xing was here and could not be ignored. Xuan Chen stared at Taoist Wu Xing strangely but said nothing.

Innate Sacred Beings are supreme and noble, with noble virtues; there are some things that can be done, but it is really hard to say them directly.

‘I believe you, my foot! You bad old man!’

Yuan Lian wanted to curse, but he was afraid that distraction would affect his speed.

A mere hundred million miles, for a powerhouse like Wu Xing and Xuan Chen, is only a moment.

Three long rainbows pierced the void, and the distance gradually narrowed; the distance between them was less than a million miles in a blink of an eye.

“Void Escape!”

Seeing that they were about to catch up to him, Yuan Lian had no choice but to use his escape method and hurriedly changed direction while traveling through the void, traveling hundreds of thousands of miles to the northeast.

This method of escape is only suitable for short-term concealment and manoeuvring.

But the speed drops significantly, which is why he didn’t use it before.

But at this moment, it was useless to run away in a straight line; Yuan Lian could only hope to make a sudden turn and gain a little distance.

“Heh, I have been on guard against you for a long time! Five Elements, Shatter the Void!”

The Taoist of the Five Elements let out a low cry, and the Law of the Five Elements surged out, bombarding the void opened by Yuan Lian in an instant.

The Law of the Five Elements rotated endlessly, and the endless Law of the Five Elements locked onto the void of millions of miles in an instant, directly piercing it, and Yuan Lian, who was walking through the void, was blasted out abruptly.

“Miscalculation!”

Yuan Lian bled, swallowed a drop of the Divine Water of Three Glories with an ugly face, and continued to flee.

The Void Escape Method was broken, and the distance was shortened again.

Yuan Lian, who was running away, suddenly felt his heart beating wildly, and a terrifying crisis rose from his heart.

Innate Sacred Instinct, a premonition of danger!

In an instant, two mighty and majestic divine thoughts came crashing down; it was as if the Heavens and the Earth were overturned, and as if the stars were colliding—it was shocking and terrifying!

Although the Divine Sense of the strong Golden Immortal can sweep hundreds of millions of miles, it is usually extremely weak at that range.

It is okay for investigation and has no lethality.

But at this moment, the distance was less than a million miles, and with the vast Divine Sense of the Taoists of the Five Elements, it was enough to unleash a shocking killing power.

“World Purification Aura, PURIFY them for me!”

A lotus platform emerged under Yuan Lian’s feet, and a bright aura bloomed, and he purified the divine thoughts that came from the bombardment.

Unable to defuse the sudden attack, Yuan Lian dared not stay.

“What a Spirit Treasure! At least it’s at the Middle-grade level, and it’s also a defensive Spirit Treasure!”

The Taoist of the Five Elements looked at the World Purifying White Lotus Platform and was overjoyed.

He subconsciously looked at Xuan Chen beside him, and sure enough, his eyes were filled with unconcealed greed.

Innate Spiritual Artifacts have their own spirituality; unless they manifest their own energy in the world, no one can know their grade before they are refined.

Only by observing their efficacy, power, laws, and other external manifestations can one guess for oneself.

Back when Yuan Lian wanted to refine the Sea Calming Pearls, which were a Top-grade Golden Immortal Rank Spirit Treasure, they resisted him with spiritual instinct, let alone others.

And the Spirit Treasures that can easily resist their spiritual attacks need to be at least Middle-grade, and they are also defensive Spirit Treasures, which are more precious than the attacking ones.

This also strengthened Wu Xing and Xuan Chen’s determination to kill Yuan Lian.

After all, in this dangerous Primordial Era, having an Innate Spirit Treasure with powerful defensive functions would undoubtedly be of great help.

One must know that fighting and killing is just a means, and preserving oneself and comprehending the Dao is the fundamental.

“The ghost lingers!” Yuan Lian said helplessly.

But if he was given another chance to choose, Yuan Lian would still choose to capture the Five-Needle Pine without hesitation.

It’s just that he would have changed his method and would rather spend more time slowly studying the formation.

“You can’t escape! Great Five Elements Sword Formation, kill!”

Behind him, the Taoist of the Five Elements used Five Spiritual Lights of various colors and turned them into Five Innate Spirit Swords.

That was his companion Spirit Treasure, Five Low-grade Innate Spirit Treasures that conform to the Five Elements Law, and can form an Innate Five Elements Sword Array, and its power is among the best among Middle-grade Innate Spirit Treasures.

The Five Elements Sword Array struck, and the vast and terrifying law shattered the sky, turning everything into powder, even the aura of the void.

“I’ll fight with you guys! The World Conquers the Heavens!”

Feeling the earth-shattering killing power, Yuan Lian didn’t dare to resist any more; he immediately summoned his Sea Calming Pearls and slammed them hard at the five killing swords.

BOOM!!!

The Sea Calming Pearls carried the great power of the four seas, and it was as if the rivers were overturning the seas; the killing swords were smashed into the air, and the newly formed Five Elements Sword Formation was also smashed.

“Hahaha, aren’t you running away? It’s so good!”

But at this moment, Xuan Chen cut through the void, stopped in front of Yuan Lian, and laughed loudly.

Taoist Wu Xing didn’t think that this blow could kill Yuan Lian, but his goal had already been achieved.
