Chapter 428

"Huh?"

Zixiang had just entered the inner realm space when Lu Xun sensed something was off.

With a flick of his figure, he activated the Instant Character Technique, instantly disappearing from his spot.

Just a few seconds after Lu Xun disappeared, a strange and eerie figure appeared where he had been.

This was none other than the Chi Sha Yao Huang.

"You're pretty fast at running, but you can't escape."

The Chi Sha Yao Huang gave a cold laugh.

As a Nine Realms cultivator, and moreover a Nine Realms of the demon race, he naturally had some tracking methods.

Lu Xun was completely visible to him; unless Lu Xun instantly fled tens of thousands of li away, there was no way for him to escape his grasp.

"You can even track this?"

The Lu Xun who had just escaped felt a bit startled.

He thought that no matter what, the Chi Sha Yao Huang would need some time to find him, and before that, Lu Xun could have already used the Heavenly Dao Talisman to escape.

Unexpectedly, the Chi Sha Yao Huang arrived so quickly.

Lu Xun repeatedly activated the Instant Character Technique, further increasing the distance.

Only when his distance from the previous location exceeded ten thousand li did Lu Xun stop, take out the Heavenly Dao Talisman, and prepare to use it to return to Lan Xing.

"What's going on?"

Upon using it, Lu Xun discovered that the Heavenly Dao Talisman actually couldn't be used!

"Is it him...? A mere Yao Huang actually able to restrict the use of the Heavenly Dao Talisman?"

Judging from the current situation, it must be the work of Chi Sha Yao Huang.

The Heavenly Dao Talisman has some usage restrictions; for example, near other Yao Xing, within a range of not over a million kilometers, it cannot be used.

Before, near the Ancient God, it could be used, provided the Ancient God allowed you to use it.

Now, it seems Chi Sha Yao Huang did something that causes the Heavenly Dao Talisman to be unusable within this Spirit Realm.

This Spirit Realm isn't large; it's basically a continent tens of thousands of li in both length and width.

At the ancient road nodes, many Spirit Realms have this configuration.

"He's here!"

Not only is the Heavenly Dao Talisman unusable, but Lu Xun, with a glance of the Heavenly Dao Eye, discovered that Chi Sha Yao Huang was about to arrive.

"The passage will definitely be blocked by them... let's go into the starry sky!"

Lu Xun's figure flashed again, beginning to distance himself from the land, intending to enter the starry sky and then use the Heavenly Dao Talisman.

As for the channel returning to Lan Xing within the Spirit Realm, it only appears every few days, and Lu Xun can't wait.

Even if it happened to appear, it would likely be blocked by Chi Sha Yao Huang's subordinates.

After repeatedly using the Instant Word Technique, Lu Xun distanced himself from the Spirit Realm's continent and began to go deep into the starry sky.

"You're clever, but you've been tricked."

Seeing Lu Xun enter the starry sky, Chi Sha Yao Huang revealed a smile.

If Lu Xun were in the Spirit Realm, relying on the Instant Word Technique, he could still contend with him for a while.

Now that he has entered the starry sky, Lu Xun will have no escape.

In the starry sky, though it appears filled with stars, in fact, even within a nebula, the distance between each star is calculated in hundreds of millions of kilometers.

The matter inside a nebula is actually very scarce.

It consists mainly of gas and dust.

Many Spirit Realms within nebulae are where matter is most concentrated.

Once Lu Xun enters the starry sky where matter is sparse, there's no way to escape Chi Sha Yao Huang's lock-on.

Given the weak heaven-and-earth strength in the starry sky, Chi Sha Yao Huang's speed will reach an astonishing level.

Chi Sha Yao Huang wasn't in a hurry, following Lu Xun at an unhurried pace.

He wants to wait for Lu Xun to get further away from the Spirit Realm, then let Lu Xun experience the terror of the Nine Realms.

"I advise you to go back."

On Lu Xun's side, he suddenly received a voice transmission from Gu Yao.

"Oh?"

"If you enter the starry sky, he can catch up to you in a matter of minutes; you have no chance to use the Heavenly Dao Talisman."

"Really?"

Lu Xun raised his eyebrows.

"If you don't believe me, you can try."

"What can you do? He's coming specifically for you."

Lu Xun chose to hand over the problem.

Although the Fu family's Instant Word Technique is powerful, it cannot be used continuously.

If the Instant Word Technique is used for a long time, it will accelerate the body's aging.

Moreover, the consumption of using the Instant Word Technique itself is enormous.

If Chi Sha Yao Huang keeps lingering, a few days is no problem.

After a long time, Lu Xun also can't hold out.

Gu Yao fell silent.

She actually has a way.

Her Nüwa royal bloodline has awakened, allowing her to forcibly draw immortal power into her body, then use that sliver of immortal power to instantly kill Chi Sha Yao Huang, a Nine Realms being.

This is Gu Yao's greatest killing move.

In fact,

The previous Gu Yao was preparing to draw immortal power into the body, then after shattering the Nine Tribulations Lock Demon Formation, would kill Lu Xun.

But this method comes at a great cost.

Her immortal power... is only a trace.

The reincarnation mark is not omnipotent.

At most, she only hid a trace of immortal power inside it.

Any more, and the reincarnation mark cannot withstand it.

This trace of immortal power, she does not want to waste on a mere Nine Realms.

After the Nuwa bloodline awakens early, it will surely attract the Tenth Realm, even beyond the Tenth Realm.

This trace of immortal power, Gu Yao intends to save for beyond the Tenth Realm.

Nine Realms... not worthy.

Furthermore, Lu Xun might think she wants to shatter the Nine Tribulations Lock Demon Formation, and likely would not allow her to use this method.

After all, once immortal power enters the body, the Nine Tribulations Lock Demon Formation will surely shatter.

By then, Gu Yao would have already slain Chi Sha Yao Huang, this Nine Realms; why not also kill Lu Xun and swallow Ran Bing, completely resolving the issue?

Given Gu Yao's understanding of Lu Xun, Lu Xun will certainly not agree.

Besides that, she has another method.

That is Lu Xun,

Lu Xun's previously revealed bloodline power left her astonished.

Plus, Lu Xun somehow obtained eight-realm demonic power.

Gu Yao has a secret technique that can let Lu Xun, via the bloodline previously revealed, utilize the eight-realm demonic power to counter Chi Sha Yao Huang.

The eight-realm demonic power is merely demonic power; naturally it cannot contend with the Nine Realms.

Combined with the primordial ancient blood, and then using Gu Yao's secret technique, it would work.

But this secret technique... she does not want to tell Lu Xun.

If Lu Xun were to obtain it, future Lu Xun would be even harder for her to deal with.

"Of course there is a way."

After a few seconds of silence, Gu Yao made a decision.

She told Lu Xun the first method.

"Drawing immortal power into the body? I'm afraid after you slay Chi Sha Yao Huang, the next one you'll want to kill is me!"

Indeed.

Lu Xun arose a sense of vigilance.

"Then you handle it yourself, or you hand me over."

Gu Yao decided to give up.

She instead wants to see what method Lu Xun has.
