Seeing the attack about to land, Emperor Tianji's eyes sharpened, his body trembled slightly, and he suddenly moved to block in front of Ye Qingyun!
Boom!
The Dharma Seal heavily struck Emperor Tianji, but he blocked it with a palm. Great Dao Law wrapped around his body, forming a disc shield. Amidst the violent vibrations, the Void Realm churned like ocean waves, and thunder rumbled.
"Qingyun, this person is not right; he is definitely not your peer!"
He said in a deep voice, then suddenly took out a golden talisman from his sleeve and forcefully struck it into Ye Qingyun's glabella!
"This is a escape Talisman I refined by deducing the Nine Heavens. It can temporarily evade this person's pursuit. You escape first!"
The golden talisman transformed into a streak of immortal light, merging into Ye Qingyun's body. A profound spatial power enveloped him, as if to throw him out of this Secret Realm!
Ye Qingyun frowned slightly, his expression complex.
He didn't know Yu Qiu, but he also felt that he wasn't someone sent by Jiang Ye, and his strength was immensely powerful, with heaven-reaching methods.
However, he was no longer an indecisive person. He turned and prepared to leave, saying, "Senior Tianji, please take care."
"Don't worry!"
Emperor Tianji spoke decisively, laughing, "This is merely an Incarnation of mine. It's no great loss if it's destroyed!"
His voice quickened as he whispered, "You must find a way to leave this Dragon Vein Secret Realm as soon as possible. The waters here are too deep. My deductions these past few days have revealed ancient Restrictions and dangers hidden here. Once you mistakenly enter, there might be a risk of no return!"
"Remember! Don't get involved in this muddy water anymore. Once you get out, I will naturally guide you away from this place!"
Ye Qingyun's body was lifted by the immortal talisman. In an instant, he transformed into a streak of light, breaking through the oppression of the Void Realm Law, and vanished into the depths of the distant sky in a flash.
The escaping light flashed and disappeared, and the world returned to dead silence.
In the Void Realm, Emperor Tianji stood proudly like a towering Heavenly God, his body entwined with countless Dao patterns, each seemingly carrying the trajectory of ancient stars, with light flowing.
However, Yu Qiu did not stop.
His Killing Intent was as intense as a furnace, transforming into towering black flames that pressed down, covering the sky and earth.
The Divine Ability he unleashed carried an extremely unique Hidden Kill Law. Once released, the perception of heaven and earth was erased, like a silent blade, cutting through all things.
The secret arts of the Hidden Killers Pavilion were not only about killing, but also about "absolute" and "punishment"!
"Hmph, what if it's an Incarnation? You are ultimately not the main body!"
Yu Qiu's eyes were sinister, his figure like a ghost, arriving through the air.
A palm struck, as if all realms collapsed under this single blow!
Emperor Tianji's expression remained unchanged. He unfurled his sleeve, and an ancient, simple Dao Seal emerged from his palm. Profound yellow Qi steamed, blocking in front.
Rumble!
The two forces violently collided, the Great Dao wailed, and in an instant, the distant mountains directly turned into dust, and a chaotic thunder sea boomed outwards.
Emperor Tianji's body shook, his feet sliding dozens of feet in the Void Realm. His entire body was torn with bloody cracks by the Law, and his Dharma body suffered heavy damage.
"Indeed, it's the power of a Saint..."
He murmured, yet there was no fear in his eyes, but rather a hint of cold determination.
"You want to kill my Incarnation... you'll have to pay a price!"
Emperor Tianji roared, and all the power of the Extreme Realm of Ascension within him was unleashed.
He threw a punch, and the vast heavenly might swept forth with the punch light. The Fist Intent seemed to contain billions of Luck, endless stars, all possibilities and end points of deduction, an ultimate manifestation of the Great Dao of Heavenly Secrets!
However, Yu Qiu's figure was like a shadow turning into mist, instantly dissipating and transforming into a wisp of Death Qi in the netherworld, moving through the spatial cracks.
The next moment, he appeared behind Xiao Fan, and a blood-red long blade condensed in his palm.
Swoosh!
The long blade broke through the air and struck down instantly!
Xiao Fan suddenly turned around, forcibly condensing a disc defense, guarding his body behind it. However, this blade was incredibly strange, as if it struck at the Divine Soul level, directly piercing through the defense and cutting deep into his divine body.
Bang!
Emperor Tianji's Incarnation shattered, turning into billions of light points, exploding into a sky full of starlight.
Before perishing, his expression darkened, and he uttered a cold voice: "You didn't seem to know Ye Qingyun before, and Jiang Ye didn't send you..."
"Why did you try to kill Qingyun?"
The voice boomed like thunder, echoing for a long time in the shattered Void Realm.
But Yu Qiu remained silent from beginning to end.
His expression was calm, even with a hint of mockery, as if he didn't take the question seriously.
Facing the questioning of an Emperor's Incarnation, his eyes didn't even waver a bit.
"Hmph."
He merely let out a cold snort and paid no more attention.
When the starlight faded, Xiao Fan's Incarnation had completely dissipated between heaven and earth.
Yu Qiu stood silently in the Void Realm, slowly closing his eyes. A faint, dark glow appeared between his eyebrows, like a wisp-like thread quietly floating, moving with the wind, as if sensing a special aura.
He slowly opened his eyes, a cold smile curving his lips.
"Found it."
The moment he met Ye Qingyun, he secretly planted a trace of the "Soul Chasing Seal."
This was a secret Divine Ability of the Hidden Killers Pavilion. Even if the target had the protection of an Emperor or the concealment of the Great Dao, as long as their Divine Soul was not completely annihilated, they could not truly escape the lock of this seal.
Although Emperor Tianji was strong and his Qi was profound enough to obscure Karma, it still clung to a corner of Ye Qingyun's Divine Soul like a maggot on bone, so subtly that even he himself found it difficult to detect.
Now, Ye Qingyun had escaped tens of thousands of miles away.
But that wisp of Qi was still pulling.
"Now I want to see how you'll evade the pursuit?"
Yu Qiu murmured to himself, his expression cold and indifferent.
However, a hint of doubt was hard to conceal in his heart.
Jiang Ye once said, "Try killing Ye Qingyun," which seemed like a casual provocation, perhaps just to incite him to act and use the opportunity to stir up conflict between him and Emperor Tianji.
But was it really that shallow?
He didn't care anyway.
Ye Qingyun might not be a real threat, but Jiang Ye's arrangement was definitely not without reason.
Yu Qiu was extremely certain of this point.
He couldn't figure out the reason, but he also didn't intend to delve deeper.
As long as Ye Qingyun was killed, the mystery would naturally be revealed, and that unsettling "variable" would also be eliminated.
The next moment, he took a step.
Boom!
The Void Realm shattered, and he transformed into a black light, like a soul-hunting shadow moving through a realm of death, speeding towards the direction Ye Qingyun had fled...
The mountain winds howled, and a heavy, murderous aura permeated the world.
Ye Qingyun sprinted wildly in the Dragon Vein Secret Realm, his Qi chaotic, the talisman light on his glabella not yet fully dissipated.
That was the last protective mark left by Emperor Tianji, slowly fading away.
His breathing was heavy, each step treading on the shattered remnants of Dao patterns, and the surroundings were filled with terrifying oppressive force.
Each step trod on the shattered remnants of Dao patterns, and the surroundings were filled with terrifying oppressive force.
Behind him, a black light like ink followed like a shadow, crossing mountains and rivers, pressing directly towards him.
Yu Qiu said not a word, but pursued with absolute Killing Intent and speed.
His body exuded a hidden Qi, his strikes like sharp claws reaching out from the netherworld, accurately and mercilessly striking at Ye Qingyun. His decisiveness was chilling.
But strangely, whenever his killing move approached, Ye Qingyun could always inexplicably avoid it at the brink of death.
Once, a mountain path collapsed; another time, a Spiritual Vein vibrated; yet another time, the Void Realm collapsed... Ye Qingyun did not intentionally avoid them, nor did he have any defenses, but those deadly killing opportunities were always "missed" before he even noticed them.
He himself couldn't explain it, only knowing that each time was incredibly close, so much so that even he found it unbelievable.
And Yu Qiu's expression grew colder and colder...
