Make sure not to add extra. Good.

No…… If this continues, I will surely die!

A flash of ruthlessness crossed his eyes as he abruptly stopped, turned, and faced the three holy envoys pursuing him!

"How come you're not running?" the female cultivator sneered.

"How come? You're not running?" the female cultivator sneered.

Yan Buji grinned: "There's a strange restriction in the underground ice cavern that prevents spatial teleportation; perhaps the underground is where your palace master is in seclusion?"

The female cultivator's expression changed: "Saying these things is pointless now."

The female cultivator's expression changed: "Saying these things is pointless now."

"Indeed."

"Indeed."

Whoosh!

Whoosh! (sound effect). Keep as "Whoosh!"

Yan Buji vanished in an instant.

Yan Buji actually vanished in an instant.

The three were startled, and the female cultivator fumed: "Damn, is that a teleportation ability?!"

The three were startled; the female cultivator fumed: "Damn it, Instant Movement Technique?!"

"Just a minor teleportation trick." The youth stepped out, squinting as he looked around.

"Just a mere Instant Movement Technique." The young man stepped out, squinting as he looked around.

"Pursue!" the female cultivator nodded, took a deep breath, and produced an Immortal Accumulation Artifact!

"Chase!" the female cultivator nodded, took a deep breath, and produced an Immortal Accumulation Artifact!

Note: "Immortal Accumulation Artifact" is Immortal Accumulation Artifact per glossary.

Yan Buji's figure flickered across the snowy plain, each teleportation spanning a thousand feet, leaving only a faint gray mist behind him. His internal strength was nearly exhausted, but driven by survival instinct, he hastily swallowed some pills to restore his energy, grasped some high-grade spirit stones to regain strength, and the pursuit behind him prevented him from stopping.

"Damn…… How can I shake off these three monsters?"

"Damn…… How can I shake off these three monsters?"

He gritted his teeth and looked back; his divine sense swept behind him, revealing three white shadows clinging like a bone-deep ulcer, relentlessly pursuing him, each teleportation precisely locking onto his position.

He gritted his teeth and looked back; his divine sense swept behind him, only to see three white shadows clinging like a bone-deep ulcer, relentlessly pursuing, each instant movement precisely locking onto his position.

"Something's off…… How could they possibly keep up with my teleportation?"

"This isn't right…… How could they possibly keep up with my instant movement?"

As he pondered, the distant Cold Moon female cultivator suddenly raised her hand, and a crystal-clear ice compass appeared in her palm!

Just as he was pondering, the distant Cold Moon female cultivator suddenly raised her hand, and a crystal-clear ice crystal compass appeared in her palm.

"Eight-turn Immortal Accumulation, Heaven's Secrets Ice Mirror — an Immortal Accumulation Artifact designed for tracking and exploration, fellow cultivator, you can't escape!"

"Eight-turn Immortal Accumulation, Heaven's Secrets Ice Mirror — an Immortal Accumulation Artifact specifically for tracking and probing secrets, fellow cultivator, you'd better not think of escaping!"

Eight-turn Immortal Accumulation, Heaven's Secrets Ice Mirror, Immortal Accumulation Artifact

"Found it!" the female cultivator sneered, lightly tracing the compass with her fingertip, and an icy-blue trajectory appeared out of thin air, pointing directly at Yan Buji's location!

"Found it!" the female cultivator sneered, lightly tapping the compass with her fingertip; an ice-blue trajectory appeared out of thin air, pointing directly at Yan Buji's location.

Yan Buji's pupils contracted: "A tracking Immortal Accumulation Artifact?!"

Yan Buji's pupils constricted: "A tracking Immortal Accumulation Artifact?!"

"Fellow cultivator, do you think you can escape?" the old man's voice was as piercing as a cold wind: "The Heaven's Secrets Ice Mirror has locked onto your aura; no matter where you flee, you won't escape our grasp!"

"Fellow cultivator, do you think you can escape?" the old man's voice was bone-chilling like a cold wind: "The Heaven's Secrets Ice Mirror has locked onto your aura; no matter where you flee, you cannot escape our grasp!"

Boom!!

Boom!!

The youth's figure suddenly appeared before Yan Buji, he thrust out a palm, frost condensing into a blade that slashed straight at his throat!

"Get lost!" Yan Buji roared, suddenly producing the Sea Kun Hammer and smashing it down!

But Cold Star instead withdrew using the momentum, curling his lip in a sneer.

"You can't escape."

"You can't escape."

The female cultivator's Heaven's Secrets Ice Mirror blazed with light, the needle on the compass spinning wildly before finally locking onto Yan Buji's direction. She lightly tapped her fingertip, and an icy-blue thread extended from the compass, coiling toward him like a venomous snake!

The female cultivator's Heaven's Secrets Ice Mirror blazed with light; the needle on the compass spun wildly, finally settling on Yan Buji's direction. She lightly tapped her fingertip, and an ice-blue thread extended from the compass, coiling toward Yan Buji like a venomous snake!

"Heaven's Secrets Soul Lock!"

"Heaven's Secrets Soul Lock!"

Sizzle!

Sizzle! (sound). We'll translate as "Sizzle!"

The thread instantly pierced the void, wrapping around Yan Buji's wrist; no matter how he struggled, he couldn't break free!

The thread instantly pierced the void, wrapping around Yan Buji's wrist; no matter how he struggled, he could not break free!

"Oh no!" Yan Buji's face darkened; this thread not only locked onto his position but was also continuously draining his strength!

"Oh no!" Yan Buji's face drastically changed; this thread not only locked his position but also continuously devoured his power!

"Hahaha!" the female cultivator laughed: "Fellow cultivator, where can you possibly flee now?"

"Hahaha!" the female cultivator laughed: "Fellow cultivator, where can you flee now?"

A flash of ruthlessness crossed Yan Buji's eyes as he bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of essence blood, and with a clap of his hands he directly activated the Human Emperor's Canon!

Yan Buji's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness; he fiercely bit his tongue, spraying a mouthful of essence blood, and with a clap of his hands directly activated the Human Emperor Scripture!

"Burn the Spirit!"

"Burn Soul!"

Sizzle!

Crackle! (sound). We'll translate as "Crackle!"

The essence blood burned, and the thread snapped instantly, but the female cultivator showed no panic, instead sneering: "You even know fate-seeking techniques? Just a dying struggle."

The essence blood burned, the thread instantly snapped, but the female cultivator showed no panic, instead sneering: "You even know Fortune Dao secret techniques? Just a deathbed struggle."

Although that was said, it was clear the female cultivator had also turned murderous.

Although she said that, it was obvious the female cultivator had also aroused killing intent.

This old man's origins are unknown, yet he knows countless strange techniques and various grand dao principles, applying them with ease; given time to break through the Union Dao stage, even the three of them combined might not be his match!

This old man's origins are unknown; he also knows many strange and wondrous techniques, plus various Grand Dao principles, applying them with ease. Given time for him to break through to the Unity Dao stage, perhaps even the three of them combined would not be his match!

Now that a deadly feud has been forged, we must exterminate him completely!

Now that a deadly feud has been formed, we must eradicate him completely!

She activated the Heaven's Secrets Ice Mirror again; the runes on the compass glowed, and a more substantial ice line coiled toward him once more!

She again activated the Heaven's Secrets Ice Mirror; the runes on the compass lit up, and a more solid ice line extended once more to entwine!

Yan Buji knew that if this continued, he would surely die!

"We must destroy that compass!"

He abruptly changed direction, no longer fleeing but charging straight at the three holy envoys!

"Courting death!" the female cultivator gave a vicious grin, flickered, and an ice blade thrust straight at Yan Buji's heart!

"Courting death!" the female cultivator gave a vicious grin, flickered her form, and an ice blade stabbed straight at Yan Buji's heart!

Yan Buji did not dodge; in the blink of an eye, the Imperial Banner of the Human Emperor's Canon within him shuddered violently, and the ice blade instantly pierced his shoulder!

Yan Buji did not dodge or evade; in the blink of an eye, the Human Emperor Banner atop his Human Emperor Scripture trembled violently, and the ice blade instantly pierced his shoulder!

"Impossible, you!"

"Impossible, you!"

Fate arts again?!

"Fortune Dao again?!"

Yan Buji gritted his teeth, his right hand entwined with martial-arts principles lashing forward, and he clawed at the Cold Moon cultivator's Heaven's Secrets Ice Mirror!

Yan Buji gritted his teeth, his right hand entwined with Martial Dao principles lunged forward, a claw snatching toward the Cold Moon's Heaven's Secrets Ice Mirror in her hand!

Even if Yan Buji no longer cultivates martial arts, his original realm remains; he simply can never enter the grand dao, but using fundamental law to drive martial-arts principles is effortless for him.

Even if Yan Buji no longer cultivates the Martial Dao, his original realm still exists; he simply cannot enter the Grand Dao path for life, but by using fundamental law to drive Martial Dao principles, it is as easy for him as turning his hand over.

"Dream on!" the old man shouted, charging forward with palms clasped, and an ice wall instantly rose, blocking the female cultivator!

"Dream on!" the old man shouted angrily, charging forward with palms clasped, and an ice wall instantly rose, blocking the female cultivator!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Yan Buji's claw strike was blocked by the ice wall, but he used the momentum to flip, kicking the old man in the chest and forcing him back!

"Useless." the Cold Moon cultivator said coldly: "The Heaven's Secrets Ice Mirror is the supreme treasure of the Heavenly Cold Palace; how could you possibly destroy it?"

"Useless." Cold Moon said coldly: "The Heaven's Secrets Ice Mirror is the supreme treasure of the Heavenly Cold Palace; how could you destroy it?"

Yan Buji panted, staring fixedly at the compass in her hand, then suddenly grinned: "Is that so?"

Yan Buji panted heavily, staring fixedly at the compass in her hand, then suddenly grinned: "Really?"

The next second, he thrust his hand forward, and thick surges of desire welled up in his palm, condensing into a black thread as fine as a hair that silently pierced the ice below!

The next second, he abruptly raised his hand; thick desires welled up in his palm, condensing into a black thread as fine as a hair, silently piercing into the ice below!

"Huh?" the female cultivator frowned, not yet noticing anything odd, when the ice beneath her feet suddenly exploded!

"Huh?" the female cultivator frowned, not yet noticing anything odd, but the ice beneath her feet suddenly exploded!

Boom!

Boom!

A gray mist surged up from the ground, straight toward the Heaven's Secrets Ice Mirror in her hand!

A stream of gray mist surged from the ground, directly assaulting the Heaven's Secrets Ice Mirror in her hand!

"What?!" the Cold Moon cultivator startled, hastily recoiling, but the desire clung like a shadow, instantly wrapping around the compass!

"What?!" Cold Moon exclaimed in shock, hastily retreating, but the desire clung like a shadow, instantly entwining the compass!

Crack!

A crack appeared on the surface of the compass, Han Yue's face changed drastically: 'You dare?!'

Too late! Yan Buji gave a feral grin and clenched his fist fiercely!

Overturn Heaven!

Boom!

At this moment, Yan Buji, after countless brushes with death in this period, finally elevated the application of the fundamental law once more. Previously limited to merely using various Great Daos, now Yan Buji, with his heart reaching the point of blessing, actually used his own Extreme Desire Path to drive the Martial Dao law!

The momentum of Overturning Heaven formed from desire instantly made the three suddenly feel waves of terrifying pressure approaching.

Realm of Walking the Dao?

"Impossible, actually able to step into the realm of Walking the Dao in the state of exhausted oil and burnt wick, merely a Void Refinement stage!!!" The old man and young man widened their eyes, angrily roaring unwillingly, they all rushed toward the female cultivator wanting to protect the compass in her hand!

But at this moment it was already too late; an Eight-turn Immortal Accumulation unexpectedly, at the moment of Yan Buji's breakthrough in battle, he succeeded with a single strike and it exploded with a boom, icy-blue shards scattering everywhere!

"No!!" the female cultivator screamed; this was a supreme treasure bestowed by the Palace Master, yet now it has actually been destroyed!

The female cultivator felt endless regret; she never imagined that a mere Void Refinement stage could actually destroy an Eight-turn Immortal Accumulation!

The old man and the young man also flew into a rage: 'Old thing! You're seeking death!'

Yan Buji, however, no longer lingered in battle; he turned and fled!

"Chase! We absolutely cannot let him escape!" the female cultivator's face twisted, and the three once again set off in pursuit!
