Chapter 961: The Calculations of Eight Hundred Years Ago (Requesting Double Moon Tickets)

In the Star Ruin sky, the Divine Infant of Emperor Kongyuan continuously teleported through space, a dim flame swirling around his Divine Infant.

That was the Soul-Slaying Ghost Fire, forged by Emperor Dongxuan specifically to harm Divine Infants.

At this very moment, it coiled around his Divine Infant, continuously burning it.

Each breath it clung to his Divine Infant, it burned away a layer—extremely vicious.

Emperor Kongyuan knew well that only the power of the Dao Forbidden Domain could dissolve it, but right now he was pouring all his Dao Forbidden Domain power into escaping, and with his physical body destroyed, he could only muster a fraction of it to resist.

Yet Emperor Kongyuan was also confident: with his spatial teleportation ability, he would be safe in three to five breaths.

Even if Emperor Dongxuan’s speed wasn’t inferior, without a target, he couldn’t possibly catch up.

Of course, this Soul-Slaying Ghost Fire was Emperor Dongxuan’s ultimate technique, bearing his very essence.

Perhaps Emperor Dongxuan could track and locate him through the Soul-Slaying Ghost Fire.

In an instant, Kongyuan activated his Spatial Dao Forbidden Domain power, covering the Soul-Slaying Ghost Fire.

Though he couldn’t swiftly erase it.

But for a short while, keeping Emperor Dongxuan from tracking him was still possible.

Ten breaths later, Emperor Kongyuan, having fled over a million li, exhaled in relief.

He should be safe by now.

He began pouring all his power into his Yuan Domain.

He had witnessed the power of the Yuan Domain’s technique—it had indeed wounded Emperor Dongxuan. Had it not been for the accident, had it not been for that Xu Jin, he would have already slain Emperor Dongxuan.

Thinking of this, hatred surged.

Therefore, the Yuan Domain must not fail.

The Yuan Domain was his backup plan for resurgence—even for a complete reversal.

So now he poured all his power into it.

With full activation, the Yuan Domain immediately connected with him, flooding instantly with silver light.

Inside the Yuan Domain at this moment, under the full exertion of several Emperor-level beings, stellar power had once again filled to capacity.

No longer weak.

Kongyuan could now draw upon it.

The instant he regained control of his Yuan Domain, Kongyuan’s heart stirred—he made his decision immediately.

He should go kill Xu Jin now!

Permanently eliminate Xu Jin as a threat, fully liberating the combat potential of his Yuan Domain.

Then, if he exploited the possibility that Dongxuan was chasing him, perhaps he could turn the tables and kill Dongxuan.

If he succeeded, with his prestige and influence, he could instantly absorb all of Dongxuan’s territories and forces; ascending to the position of Emperor would then be simple.

Under this sense of safety, Emperor Kongyuan paused briefly—while using his Spatial Dao Forbidden Domain power to gradually erase the Soul-Slaying Ghost Fire swirling around his Divine Infant, he also poured all his power into his Yuan Domain, focusing his spiritual sense to locate Xu Jin.

He intended to slay Xu Jin in the shortest possible time.

Then he would soul-search Xu Jin to obtain the secret method of his Yuan Domain, which carried primordial qi.

At that point, the power of his Yuan Domain might surge dramatically.

His resurgence would become far more secure.

One breath later, he sensed Xu Jin’s location.

Simultaneously, half of the Soul-Slaying Ghost Fire swirling around his Divine Infant had been erased.

With a flick of his spiritual sense, he sensed Xu Jin’s direction and prepared to pursue.

But at that very moment, a line of fire suddenly appeared in the void—a dragon of flame that, the instant it manifested, radiated hazy light and sealed off all directions of space.

Emperor Kongyuan’s face turned pale with shock.

Emperor Dongxuan had caught up!

How was this possible!

Every possible means of tracking him had been preemptively blocked.

Even during his spatial teleportation, he had detonated a piece of Illusory Silver Shell, completely disrupting spatial fluctuations and leaving Dongxuan no chance of pursuit.

At this moment, overthinking was useless!

The fire dragon, manifested by Emperor Dongxuan’s Dao Primordial Forbidden Domain power, roared toward him.

Then came a second fire dragon, a third fire dragon—phantom forms appearing simultaneously, and in the same instant, Emperor Dongxuan’s figure emerged from within the flames.

“Kongyuan, you cannot escape,” Emperor Dongxuan’s mocking laugh rang out—and in that instant, Emperor Kongyuan made his decision.

Instantly, he summoned the peak power within his Yuan Domain; the stellar power that had filled the Yuan Domain space surged forth again, guided by the spatial laws of the Dao.

A spatial silver blade, radiating immense power, resonated with the cosmic laws and slammed toward Emperor Dongxuan!

As before, the spatial silver blade sliced through instantly—shattering Dongxuan’s first, second, and third fire dragons—but the moment it struck the fourth fire dragon, the blade shattered and dissolved.

Fortunately, this slash had torn open the void and shattered the seal.

Emperor Kongyuan vanished instantly through spatial teleportation.

Receiving the backlash, Emperor Dongxuan spat more blood, but his eyes burned with fury.

Kongyuan’s technique was indeed sharp.

It had piqued his interest.

In the next instant, Emperor Dongxuan activated his secret treasure, the Tongxuan Mirror, and gave chase.

In the Star Ruin sky, Xu Jin’s brow furrowed again, for before he could draw back his Yuan Domain to release Zhu Lin’s flute,

the Yuan Domain became unmovable.

It seemed once again seized by Emperor Kongyuan’s Yuan Domain.

And he couldn’t absorb it either.

As Xu Jin worried, his spiritual sense, which had been constantly sinking into and sensing Kongyuan’s Yuan Domain, suddenly realized:

The previous scenario had repeated itself!

For some reason, the aura of Emperor Kongyuan’s Yuan Domain had instantly become incredibly weak.

Like a tire suddenly going flat.

In an instant, it became a lump of fat.

With experience from the last time, Xu Jin immediately activated his full power in his own Yuan Domain.

He didn’t know the secret method of absorption.

Xu Jin only knew that when he poured all his power into his Yuan Domain, it would devour Kongyuan’s Yuan Domain.

In just one breath, Kongyuan’s Yuan Domain visibly shrank.

One and a half percent!

This time, with preparation, he directly devoured one and a half percent of Kongyuan’s Yuan Domain.

Last time, he had only swallowed one percent.

But after two devourings, Xu Jin’s Yuan Domain had barely improved—he felt his own Yuan Domain had risen less than half a percent.

As for the reason, Xu Jin, as the master of the Yuan Domain, now understood.

His Yuan Domain was a Primordial Yuan Domain, while Kongyuan’s was a Spatial Yuan Domain.

His Primordial Yuan Domain’s growth required complete primordial qi.

Just as he needed to refine one line of each of the eight elemental Dao laws before his Primordial Yuan Domain could grow rapidly.

If he refined only one, his Yuan Domain’s growth would be extremely slow—and eventually, it might stop growing entirely.

Though he had devoured two and a half percent of Kongyuan’s Yuan Domain, he digested very little.

The rest was wrapped in his Primordial Yuan Domain like inert stones.

To digest it, he would need to continuously refine vast amounts of other elemental forces, or spend long periods assimilating it with primordial stellar power.

In short: he had swallowed it, but due to elemental incompatibility, he hadn’t digested it.

This was also why Emperor Kongyuan’s Yuan Domain had been unable to devour Xu Jin’s Yuan Domain before.
