Chapter 1440: Hunting Time
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At the bottom of the Forbidden Sea, amidst the black currents, Transient Evil’s anxiety and unease reached their peak. He pushed his speed to the utmost, rushing forward with all his strength.
He didn’t dare to stop at all.
At that instant just now, he vaguely sensed a mysterious and ancient power descending and locking onto his location.
He tried to erase this feeling but failed.
This caused his heart to skip a beat as he felt an impending calamity. Hence, he immediately left the seabed.
While running away, he performed a series of hand seals, preparing an immortal art.
This immortal art was similar to teleportation but the way it was displayed was bizarre.
Moreover, he still had to pay a price.
If it was him when he was still at the Ruler Realm, he only needed to breathe to complete it. Moreover, although the price wasn’t small, it wasn’t unbearable.
But now, he needed some time to prepare and pay a greater price.
However, he had no other choice.
At that moment, the immortal art seed rapidly condensed in his sea of consciousness and his thoughts stirred.
“The ancestor has died… The holy land will definitely fall into a calamity…”
Transient Evil felt bitter. The scenes from all those years in the holy land appeared in his mind and he couldn’t help but feel a hint of regret.
He indeed felt some regret, but he understood that since things had already reached this point, there was no meaning in regretting.
He didn’t have deep feelings for the race like the ancestor. What he pursued had always been individual strength.
In order to become stronger, he was willing to pay any price.
Therefore, he knew that even if everything started over, he would most likely make the same choices again.
Facing the temptation of reaching the Summer Immortal Realm, even if it was extremely dangerous, it was impossible for him to resist.
Even though there was only a trace of success in this opportunity.
That was the fortune of the Summer Immortal!
Throughout the ages, only a few people in the entire Wanggu had stepped into this realm. Once he succeeded… then with his terrifying power similar to that of a True God, he would have a place even in the vast starry sky.
In fact, he could even embark on the path of pursuing an unprecedented higher realm like that almighty.
“Summer Immortal…”
“What a pity… what a pity…”
A deep sense of unwillingness rose in Transient Evil’s heart, which transformed into madness. As this madness flickered in his eyes, a terrifying pressure from above suddenly descended.
The deafening rumbling sound that followed the pressure interrupted Transient Evil’s thoughts. His expression changed as he abruptly lifted his head.
What he saw was an astonishing sea of fire.
The seawater was burning, and red flames engulfed the surroundings. The flames incinerated all anomalous substances in the area, restoring the seawater to its original color.
The high temperature rapidly spread at the seabed.
At the center of the sea of fire, a huge vortex appeared. As it continued to spin, two figures walked out.
After Transient Evil saw one of them, the unwillingness in his heart became even more intense.
However, before his emotions could fluctuate completely, the next instant, the illusory body of the Flame Phoenix spread out at seabed as the third figure walked out.
A sharp cry rang out as Huang Yan walked out of the vortex. His eyes were filled with killing intent as he took a step toward Transient Evil.
With this step, the seabed churned and the burning of the seawater became even more intense. Transient Evil’s body trembled and he directly spat out a large mouthful of blood.
After relying on the memory transfer of the immortal art to revive, he had already lost his Ruler realm and fallen to the Soul Accumulation realm. His current state had no chance against the Flame Phoenix’s anger.
In just an instant, he was heavily injured from the pressure of the Flame Phoenix.
As he spat out blood, his cultivation base became unstable again. His fleeing speed was forcefully interrupted. Even the immortal art seed that was brewing in his sea of consciousness swayed.
As for Huang Yan, he had already arrived in front of Transient Evil.
He only waved his hand.
The terrifying power from the Flame Phoenix erupted explosively.
Flames gathered at the bottom of the sea, forming a firestorm that swept toward Transient Evil.
Under the absolute difference in strength, any resistance was meaningless.
In that instant, Transient Evil’s body trembled violently and he spat out more than ten mouthfuls of blood in a row. His cultivation base collapsed from its unstable state and fell again.
He fell from Perfected Soul Accumulation Realm to the four worlds Soul Accumulation stage.
At this life-and-death moment, he couldn’t care less that the immortal art seed in his sea of consciousness wasn’t completely prepared. As his expression distorted and his mind churned, under the envelopment of the aura of death, he spared no expense and forcefully activated it.
At the next instant, his figure suddenly collapsed, transforming into countless dazzling threads that then disappeared.
Huang Yan stood there and looked into the distance coldly.
At that moment, Xu Qing and Erniu also walked down from the fire vortex.
“Xu Qing, I know you want to kill him personally. With this person’s current cultivation, he has already lost his threat to you. I’ve also interfered with his secret art, so he can’t escape far.”
Huang Yan looked at Xu Qing. His previous attack was clearly the result of him deliberately controlling his strength.
Xu Qing nodded. His relationship with Huang Yan was second only to the captain, so there was no need for him to say anything. At that moment, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
In that instant, his divine sense spread out and countless sounds were transmitted to him.
There was the sound of water flowing, fish swaying their tails, the roars of sea beasts, the movement of sand… all kinds of sounds gathered to become the breathing of the Forbidden Sea.
In this breath, Xu Qing felt the beating of Transient Evil’s heart.
“Found him.”
He calmly spoke and took a step forward.
Huang Yan sat down and glanced at the eager Erniu.
“Sit down. He can handle the rest himself.”
The captain hesitated for a moment. He originally wanted to watch the show, but after looking at Huang Yan, he still chose to sit at the side. After that, he coughed.
“Brother-in-law…”
“Erniu, I remember you saying before that you wanted to go to my house to train. Moreover, you’ve been preparing for a long time. You even have a way to open my house’s gate.”
Huang Yan gave a spurious smile.
The captain blinked and immediately shook his head. He then suddenly spoke.
“There’s something wrong with Junior Brother. No, I’ll go take a look…”
As he spoke, he got up and instinctively wanted to leave. However, Huang Yan put his arm around his neck.
“It’s fine. I’m keeping an eye on him. Let’s talk about how you’re going to open my door while I’m sleeping. Come, let’s talk in detail…”
While Huang Yan and the captain were talking amicably here, in an area some distance away from them, resplendent threads flickered in the seawater and quickly gathered together, forming Transient Evil’s figure.
The moment he appeared, he spat out another mouthful of blood. His body was dispirited and his face was pale. He quickly checked his surroundings and discovered that he hadn’t escaped far. The pressure in his heart was infinitely intense.
However, he didn’t hesitate. He gritted his teeth and continued to prepare the immortal art seed in his sea of consciousness as he rapidly moved forward.
“The complete immortal art seed requires fifteen minutes…”
Transient Evil was anxious but there was nothing he could do. At that moment, his heartbeat sped up and he mumbled as he broke through the seawater in front of him. However, the moment he rushed out…
He heard the sounds from the sea.
The first thing that entered his ears was the sound of water flowing.
This sound rang out from all directions and transformed into invisible ripples. The moment it came into contact with Transient Evil, his expression changed drastically.
“Not good!”
He was about to block it, but he couldn’t do it anymore. In an instant, the sound of flowing water exploded around him, transforming into an astonishing killing power.
That was the might of sound authority.
Amidst the rumbling, Transient Evil’s body trembled violently. If he was still at the Ruler realm, he would naturally be able to ignore Xu Qing’s sound authority. However, he wasn’t right now.
His cultivation base, which had fallen to the four worlds Soul Accumulation, fluctuated violently. In an instant, his flesh was drenched in blood, and turmoil surged within his body.
At this critical moment, Transient Evil performed a series of hand seals with both hands and activated his divine power. He was barely able to use his erase authority before forcefully rushing out of the sonic explosion area.
Blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth but… the sounds that contained Xu Qing’s killing intent continued to ring out.
It came from his heartbeat.
This heartbeat suddenly became like lightning that continuously rose in Transient Evil’s chest. It was as though it was controlled by someone and directly exploded at the next instant.
A rumbling sound directly echoed.
Transient Evil’s chest exploded.
As blood splattered in all directions, his entire body trembled and everything in front of him seemed to distort.
Only an indescribable pain spread throughout his body.
At the same time, countless sounds arrived.
He heard the sound of fish swaying their tails, the roars of sea beasts, the movement of sand at the bottom of the sea, and the breathing of the Forbidden Sea.
All of these sounds gathered together and erupted with an earth-shattering killing intent.
Everything exploded.
Booming sounds continuously echoed, transforming into a storm of killing intent. It arrived in a bizarre way and acted on Transient Evil’s body and soul.
Blood splattered in the air. He endured the intense pain from his injuries and soul as madness appeared in his eyes. He barged forward and unleashed the power of erase authority time and time again, trying to neutralize the sound authority.
However, the effect wasn’t perfect.
Blood spurted out, and the injuries to his body were even more serious.
In the end, when his entire person was about to shatter, he finally rushed out of the rumbling area and stepped into a silent world.
Silence!
However, his expression changed drastically again.
A sense of life-and-death crisis followed.
This was because he knew that silence didn’t represent safety. In fact, it was the complete opposite. Silence… represented having one’s sounds stolen.
Once the sounds were stolen, the snatcher would have a power akin to omniscience.
He immediately activated the immortal art seed that wasn’t completely ready.
He had to pay an even greater price in exchange for the ability to escape.
Amidst the rumbling, his figure transformed into countless resplendent threads that were about to disappear into the sea. However, at the next instant, countless sounds erupted from the silence, forming a vast power that ruthlessly suppressed the threads formed by Transient Evil.
A rumbling sound echoed. Many of the threads directly collapsed and the rest disappeared without a trace.
A few breaths later, Xu Qing’s figure appeared in this area. He was expressionless as he looked in the direction Transient Evil had fled in.
“You can’t escape.”
As he spoke, Xu Qing walked forward unhurriedly like how he was chased by Transient Evil before..
