Chapter 476: Relentless Pursuit to the End
Bai Ze crazily darts through heaven and earth, while borrowing the way of heavenly mechanisms to conceal his own aura.
He wishes to sever the karmic ties between himself and Lin Chuan.
But he soon discovers that no matter how he hides, Lin Chuan locks onto him firmly, and Lin Chuan's methods clearly surpass his.
He understands that today he cannot escape.
So he decides not to flee any longer.
"Lin Chuan, your performance exceeds my expectations, you have grown too fast; even the memory of a once‑lifetime Immortal amazes me."
Bai Ze stops, quietly watching Lin Chuan.
He feels no fear.
He runs not because he thinks he cannot defeat Lin Chuan, but because he does not wish to expose himself to the world; that does not suit the path he walks.
He prefers the feeling of pulling all strings from behind the scenes.
"You are weaker than I imagined."
Lin Chuan sneers.
"Is that so?"
Bai Ze, surprised, says, "I thought you would praise me as an equal opponent."
He shifts his tone, "But based on your current performance, you have no right to evaluate me that way; after all, you have been the one floundering from start to finish."
"Then just look forward to my next performance."
Lin Chuan scoffs, "The world's first case of a True God Realm cutting a Wangxian Realm is about to appear, to be passed down for ten thousand ages; your name will be carved onto the Chi Zhu of history."
"Along with the memory of your Bai Ze clan forever flowing onward."
"Is that so?" Bai Ze's eyes glowed red. "So I really am beginning to look forward to it."
The two exchange verbal blows.
Heaven and earth shift, clouds and winds change.
The karmic heavenly mechanisms constantly collide.
Both sides refrain from rash moves, each intending to first uncover the opponent's weakness.
Bai Ze appears serene on the surface, but as time passes his heart has become as still as water; he cannot see any flaw in Lin Chuan's destiny.
He originally intended to find a place that could suppress Lin Chuan.
But the deduction yields only a boundless void; the opponent has completely cut off Karma.
Yet he cannot block the probing of the Mediation of Creation.
This means he has already lost to Lin Chuan in the first layer of the game, losing the initiative.
"Indeed, the Daoist supreme method, the Mediation of Creation method, lives up to its reputation."
Bai Ze sighs.
He is so proud, yet now battered to the bone; the complete lineage of the Bai Ze clan cannot break a single Mediation of Creation.
This is the gap.
He is the only unique living spirit of heaven and earth, but that does not mean he is noble enough to stand above all.
He once despised the Human Race, but now he must admit that the Human Race is the undisputed hegemon of this era.
"Only by going to the deepest layer of the Demon Abyss."
Bai Ze makes up his mind.
Having roamed heaven and earth for so many years, scheming countless races, he has placed innumerable pieces across major regions, preparing countless contingencies.
Since he cannot calculate the opponent's absolute ground, he will go to the place most beneficial to himself.
Bai Ze is well aware.
When the logic of heaven and earth cannot be fully calculated, he lets all advantageous conditions converge upon himself, no longer concerning himself with external matters.
"In front of Lin Chuan, I cannot hide."
What lies hidden in the deepest layer of the Demon Abyss is his greatest trump card.
It must be settled in a single decisive battle.
If he proceeds slowly, giving Lin Chuan time to deduce, his chance of failure will only grow.
Swish!
Bai Ze transforms into a streak of light, vanishing toward the distance once more.
Lin Chuan is indeed deducing Bai Ze's weakness, but cannot locate it for the moment; after all, the opponent is one of the strongest Wangxian in heaven and earth.
It is not so simple to slay.
He has a limited number of uses of the Mediation of Creation, and must seize the perfect moment.
"Hmm?"
Lin Chuan follows Bai Ze's trail, "Is that direction the Demon Abyss?"
He is the pursuer; the final battlefield will inevitably be chosen by the opponent.
Regardless of where Bai Ze selects the final battlefield, he can only choose to charge in; for him, this is a flaw.
Lin Chuan has already prepared for a hard‑fought battle.
But he never expected that Bai Ze would actually pick the Demon Abyss as the final battlefield.
"This…"
Lin Chuan laughs, "Consider it digging one's own grave?"
In the past, the Demon Abyss still posed a considerable threat to him, for within its fifty lower layers reside many great powers.
Back then, even a Void God Realm witch Wu Shan Tonglao required his full effort to handle.
But now it is different.
The Demon Abyss, where many pure‑world Red Lotus grow, will be the place he rules.
Boom—!
Bai Ze slipped into the Demon Abyss, with no concealed aura, directly into its lowest layer; his magnificent presence deliberately provoked the Abyss's turbulence, aiming to disrupt Lin Chuan's Karma tracking.
Lin Chuan followed, becoming even more domineering.
Two terrifying auras reverberated, making the living beings of the Demon Abyss extremely panicked, aware that a great event was about to occur, and they surged outward from the Abyss.
The fifty‑first layer of the Demon Abyss.
Mo Sangyu endured a bloody battle, slaying the overlord of this layer, and became the new ruler of this layer.
In front of her, a blood lotus blossomed.
"The feeling of freedom is wonderful."
Witch smiled lightly, "No need to spend every day circling a stinky man, let alone be overturned by a jealous pot. Dao Companion game? Not even a dog would play!"
Being carefree outside, at most occasional yearning.
When staying by that man's side, every string and line becomes wrapped around him.
It's too painful.
As the Witch was about to fuse the blood lotus, a terrifying aura from the Demon Abyss surged forward, frightening her into clutching the blood lotus and retreating wildly.
"Who?"
"Which great being has again stirred conflict within the Demon Abyss?"
Conflicts in the Demon Abyss are common, life turnover is as routine as daily meals, but such a terrifying aura stirring within the Abyss, she had never seen before.
"Hm? No."
She furrowed her brows sharply, sensing a familiar aura, "Is this… Lin Chuan?"
The Witch can forget anyone.
But she could never forget this man who almost made her lose control of her body; she could never forget him for a lifetime!
"Is he that strong now?"
The Witch had been somewhat smug, but was instantly struck down.
"Who else is bargaining with Lin Chuan?"
That level of battle is far beyond what she can intervene in; the Witch subconsciously wanted to leave, but her heart soon rippled.
"I at least once worked together with him in a pavilion."
"He has also helped me a lot."
"Can I not just leave like this?"
The Witch muttered, her complexion changing instantly, "Mo Sangyu! Don't interfere with me, are you thinking you died not fast enough?"
"I'm not afraid of death, I want to go see," a gentle voice sounded in her heart.
"Then… okay."
The Witch gritted her teeth, "At most just look, but if something happens, I can't help him! Don't cause trouble then."
The gentle voice, with a smile, "Alright, it'll be up to you then."
The two personalities reached agreement, silently diving toward the lowest layer of the Demon Abyss.
…
The lowest layer of the Demon Abyss.
Bai Ze stood proudly in place, leaning on a cane, strands of white Qi forming one circle after another, slowly expanding outward with him as the center.
The entire Demon Abyss resonated with a strange melody.
It seemed to be conducting some ancient Yushi.
