Chapter 679: Bloodline Warning, Racing to Escape

~7 min read 1,384 words

After Lin Xuan finished reading the records on the stone tablet, the Genesis Bloodline within his body suddenly began to churn violently.

This agitation was completely different from the feelings of anger or pain he had felt before; it was a warning originating from an ancient memory.

Deep within his bloodline, something seemed to be calling out, telling him that immense danger was approaching.

"What's wrong?" Nezha asked with concern upon seeing Lin Xuan's face suddenly turn pale.

Lin Xuan pressed his hand against his chest, feeling the throbbing coming from his bloodline.

"It's wrong, something is very wrong."

"My bloodline is warning me that the awakening of the Yuan Gu Moshen is happening faster than we imagined."

"If my intuition is correct, the Seal has already loosened significantly."

Zhang Wuji's expression changed: "Then we must act immediately."

"We absolutely cannot let Xue Wutian succeed in releasing the Moshen."

Lin Xuan nodded, but then a critical question occurred to him.

"The problem is that we have no idea where the Blood Demon Sect's base is."

"And someone like Xue Wutian would certainly choose a hidden location to conduct the ritual."

Nezha also realized this difficulty.

The Upper Realm is so vast that trying to find a base that has been intentionally hidden is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Furthermore, the Blood Demon Sect must have set up layers of protection, so it would not be easily discovered.

"Wait." Lin Xuan suddenly thought of something.

"The strange phenomena that have appeared in the Upper Realm recently might just be signs of the Moshen's awakening."

"If we can find the place where the phenomena are most severe, we should be able to determine the approximate location of the Blood Demon Sect base."

This idea was immediately agreed upon by the other two.

But the problem was that they were currently deep within the Desolate Domain and knew nothing about the situation in the outside world.

"We must leave here immediately," Zhang Wuji said.

"First, return to the main area of the Upper Realm to gather information and find the location of the Blood Demon Sect."

The three of them acted at once, packing up the important Golden Treasures in the Demon Dragon's lair and preparing to leave this Ancient Relic.

Returning to the teleportation array, Lin Xuan once again injected the power of his Genesis Bloodline into it.

However, this time, the reaction of the teleportation array was different from before.

Although the light shone, it was significantly dimmer than when they arrived.

"What's going on?" Nezha asked in confusion.

Lin Xuan carefully sensed the state of the teleportation array, and his expression gradually turned grim.

"This teleportation array can only perform one-way transport."

"We were able to come here, but we cannot return the same way."

"It is even more impossible to teleport directly to other places."

This discovery made all three of them feel frustrated.

They had thought they could quickly reach their destination via the teleportation array, but it turned out to be a dead end.

"Then we can only rely on flying," Zhang Wuji said helplessly.

"It will take at least a day to get from here to the edge of the Upper Realm."

"And another three days to reach the Core area."

Lin Xuan shook his head: "Not fast enough."

"My bloodline tells me that we don't have much time left."

"Five days at most; if we cannot stop Xue Wutian within five days, everything will be beyond saving."

Nezha gritted his teeth and said: "Then we'll risk it."

"Even if it means exhausting all our cultivation, we must arrive in the shortest time possible."

The three of them did not hesitate any longer and flew at full speed immediately after leaving the Ancient Relic.

The environment of the Desolate Domain was harsh, filled with Gobi deserts and strange rocks everywhere.

What was worse, the Spirit Qi here was thin and could not provide enough support for their high-speed flight.

But they could not worry about that now.

All three pushed their cultivation to the limit, turning into three streaks of light as they sped across the sky of the Desolate Domain.

Even with the cultivation of the Great Vehicle stage, the consumption from flying at such intensity was immense.

In less than half a day, they felt significant exhaustion.

"This won't work; if we continue like this, we will be drained before we even reach the place," Zhang Wuji said, gasping for breath.

"We must find a way to replenish our spiritual power."

Nezha took out a few Pills: "I still have some recovery Pills here."

"Although the effect is limited, it's better than nothing."

Lin Xuan shook his head: "The recovery speed of the Pills cannot keep up with the consumption."

He looked into the distance, a flash of determination in his eyes.

"I have a method, but it might be risky."

"The Genesis Bloodline can not only release power but also absorb the Spirit Qi of heaven and earth."

"If I exert my bloodline to the fullest, perhaps it can provide us with a continuous source of power."

Nezha asked worriedly: "Will it lose control again?"

"You have only just stabilized; what if you lose your sanity again because of overusing the bloodline?"

Lin Xuan was silent for a moment, then finally said firmly:

"Master traded his life for my awakening, just so that I would shoulder the mission of protection."

"If I miss the chance to stop the Demon God because I fear the risks, then Master's sacrifice will truly have been in vain."

"I believe the will Master left behind will protect me."

After speaking, Lin Xuan began to circulate his Genesis Bloodline with all his might.

Golden light surged from within his body, not only surrounding himself but also extending to Nezha and Zhang Wuji.

The three of them immediately felt the spiritual power within their bodies rapidly recovering, and their exhaustion was swept away.

More importantly, their flight speed had increased by more than double.

"It's working!" Zhang Wuji said excitedly.

"At this rate, we can reach the target area within two days."

But Lin Xuan's complexion was becoming increasingly pale.

Forcibly driving the Genesis Bloodline was indeed effective, but the burden on him was extremely heavy.

The power within his bloodline surged like a tide, and he felt his consciousness beginning to blur.

Even more terrifyingly, the ancient desire for slaughter began to stir once again.

"Hold on!" Lin Xuan shouted to himself in his heart.

"Master's will is right beside me; I must not lose control again!"

Although the life essence left behind by Hunyuanzi was weak, it played a role at the critical moment.

The gentle power calmed the turbulence in his bloodline, allowing Lin Xuan to maintain his sanity.

The speed of the three grew faster and faster, leaving a golden trail in the sky above the Desolate Domain.

The demonic beasts encountered along the way were all intimidated by this powerful aura and dared not approach at all.

After a full day and night of flying at full speed, they finally left the Desolate Domain and entered the outer regions of the Upper Realm.

The concentration of Spirit Qi here had clearly increased, providing better support for their high-speed flight.

But Lin Xuan's state had already reached its limit.

More than ten consecutive hours of driving his bloodline had left him exhausted, his face as pale as paper.

"Lin Xuan, can you still hold on?" Nezha asked worriedly.

Lin Xuan nodded with difficulty: "I can hold on for another day."

"But we must find the location of the Blood Demon Sect as soon as possible, otherwise I really won't be able to hold on."

Just then, a small town appeared ahead.

Many cultivators were gathered here, making it the perfect place to inquire for information.

"Let's go down and find out the situation," Zhang Wuji proposed.

"Let's see where any anomalies have appeared recently."

The three landed on the outskirts of the town, concealed their auras, and walked toward the busiest tavern.

The tavern was filled with all sorts of people, making it the easiest place to hear all kinds of news.

As soon as they entered the door, they heard people discussing recent abnormal phenomena.
