Following the beam of chaotic light, three crystal-clear globs of Heavenly Creation Fluid soared rapidly.
Excluding the Green Thunder Sect, twenty-four cultivators from the five major sects turned into streaks of light, following the beam to vie for these three globs of Heavenly Creation Fluid. Yet among these twenty-four streaks, a twenty-fifth streak stood out, leading the pack and surpassing all others.
When Shu Han was at the early peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, the fusion of Shangguan Ruolin's Golden Core, coupled with the Sky Palace Mysterious Secret, allowed him to momentarily unleash the power of the later stages.
Now, having reached the mid-stage of his cultivation, his abilities overshadowed everyone present. He used the Shrinking Earth into Inches technique to its utmost potential, arriving ahead of everyone else in the blink of an eye.
However, he couldn't be careless. This heightened state could only be maintained momentarily. He had to seize the Heavenly Creation Fluid and flee the Immaculate Realm within this short window; otherwise, his cultivation level would drop, rendering him helpless.
Shu Han, still disguised as Cheng Yuhuan, shouted, "Senior Brother Fan, I'll go ahead! Please cover for me! I promise to obtain a portion for our Purple Sun Sect!"
The Purple Sun Sect's cultivators were thrilled, thinking they finally had a chance to get Heavenly Creation Fluid. However, Fan Zheyan shouted, "Everyone, use the Purple Cloud Ascending Art and bring him down!"
Shu Han: !!!
Instead of providing cover, the Purple Sun Sect was the first to attack him. It seems Fan Zheyan had figured something out.
Gritting his teeth, Shu Han pressed forward.
The other sects wouldn't stand idly by, either. They all readied their signature techniques to counter Shu Han. In such a dire situation, Shu Han unleashed his full strength. The Eight-Direction Evil-Breaking Sword glowed with golden light, and 108 Star Beads shot out.
Whoosh!
Eight sword wings spread out from his back.
The sword rain from the Eight-Direction Evil-Breaking Sword cascaded like a golden waterfall, pouring down along the beam of chaotic light.
Now that Shu Han momentarily possessed the peak power of the later stages, he finally unleashed the true might of the Eight-Direction Evil-Breaking Sword. The sword rain temporarily suppressed the twenty-four below!
Boom!
A golden lightning bolt fiercely struck within the sword rain, landing squarely amidst the Purple Sun Sect's cultivators. Its overwhelming power blasted them out of the chaotic light beam's perimeter.
However, at this moment, the spells from other sects also activated. But they unknowingly stepped into the Stellar Wish Formation that Shu Han had set up along his path. A vast galaxy immediately formed, its countless stars flowing towards these cultivators like a torrential river.
The starry river flowed downward, and above this dazzling galaxy rained the tempestuous storm from the Eight-Direction Evil-Breaking Sword's eight-winged blade.
In a flash, the combination of the starry river and the golden rain halted everyone's advance. Shu Han instantly turned around, bursting two mid-grade spirit stones, and pursued the three globs of Heavenly Creation Fluid. However, in a split second, he felt a lethal threat emanating from below.
The engulfing fire dragon formed by Fiery Cloud Instant Sect, the cloud rain from Cloud Mist Sect, and the neon longsword from Rainbow Sword Valley all broke through the starry golden rain in the next moment, targeting Shu Han.
Nearly twenty late-stage cultivators attacked simultaneously. Even a Core Formation stage cultivator would have to avoid such a formidable force.
Shangguan Ruolin clung tightly to Shu Han, her eyes closed, clutching his robe. She knew she couldn't help in the current situation and had to rely on Shu Han to find a way out.
She missed the days when she had her cultivation powers when she wasn't this vulnerable. Now she could only depend on a lesser cultivation man to shield her from harm. A year in her eight-hundred-year lifespan was but a fleeting moment. Yet, that brief period felt incredibly rich and prolonged.
Seeing that the starry golden rain couldn't hold back their attackers for even a brief moment, Shu Han gritted his teeth.
"Triple Rotation Avatar Technique!"
Whoosh!
A single avatar detached from him.
Positioned below his main body and about to be consumed, Shu Han commanded the avatar to explode. A colossal golden sphere rose above the sky pool, exploding suddenly and enveloping the top of Mount Immaculate in blinding golden light.
The immense golden wave was catastrophic. Shu Han's main body clung tightly to Shangguan Ruolin, riding the shockwave, catapulting upwards. Suddenly, Shangguan Ruolin felt warmth on her shoulder. Opening her eyes, she saw it stained with blood.
By now, Shu Han had finally caught up with the three globs of Heavenly Creation Fluid. He immediately stored two globs in jade vials, leaving one behind. He then scanned the surrounding chaotic whirlwinds, noticing that they had significantly dissipated. His heart sank. It seemed he couldn't rely on the whirlwinds to fend off his pursuers.
Without hesitation, Shu Han, carrying Shangguan Ruolin, prepared to dive into the whirlwind, aiming to leave this perilous place. However, they hadn't gone far when a purple-golden bowl blocked their path.
"Trying to escape?"
A sharp cry emerged from the golden afterglow below.
"Hurry! He has obtained the Heavenly Creation Fluid! We cannot let him escape!"
Four female cultivators from Cloud Mist Sect took the lead, emerging from the aftermath of the avatar explosion. With a flick of their fingers, four blue rays shot out and surrounded Shu Han. These rays transformed into four talisman seals, their power rapidly spreading and forming a diamond-shaped barrier around Shu Han.
The Crystal Realm!
Simultaneously, the purple-golden bowl descended from the sky, threatening to trap him.
Desperation seized Shu Han's heart. He was trapped within the barrier, and if he were to be further ensnared by the purple-golden bowl, escape would be impossible.
At this moment, other cultivators emerged from the explosion's aftermath. Some of them aimed to claim the remaining glob of Heavenly Creation Fluid, while others, seeing Shu Han's vulnerable state, approached with their magic treasures, seeking to exploit the situation.
"I'll risk it all!"
Shu Han's cultivation was rapidly waning. He prepared to detonate another avatar to blast through the barrier. Although detonating the avatar within the barrier would undoubtedly affect him, the dire circumstances left him no choice. Either he'd break through the barrier or die within it alongside Shangguan Ruolin.
Believing his body, transformed by the Profound Ice and the Yin Spring, could withstand the blow, Shu Han attempted to draw Shangguan Ruolin into a jade pendant for protection. However, she gripped him tightly, refusing to enter.
Feathers emerged from her skin, gradually enveloping both her and Shu Han. Understanding her intentions, Shu Han hesitated. He didn't want her exposed to danger, but there was no time to argue.
Just as he was about to detonate his avatar, an opening suddenly appeared in the Crystal Realm. It was Qiu Pengxing!
"Go! I've used a realm-breaking talisman to temporarily open this barrier!"
Seizing the opportunity, Shu Han transformed into a streak of light, grabbed Qiu Pengxing, and quickly fled.
Meanwhile, attacks from the other cultivators closed in. Shu Han immediately sent out his avatar, employing the Shrinking Earth into Inches technique to charge at them. Witnessing the avatar's approach and recalling its previous devastating power, the cultivators scattered in alarm.
Boom! Another golden explosion ensued!
Using this chance, Shu Han, holding Shangguan Ruolin and clutching Qiu Pengxing, dived into the dissipating whirlwind. Shangguan Ruolin felt her back soaked with warm blood. Grief-stricken, she looked up at Shu Han, caressing his pallid cheeks.
This scene infuriated the observing cultivators from various sects.
"Damn it! Get him! I refuse to believe he can defy fate!"
"Yes, he must be severely wounded! That man has two precious droplets of the Heavenly Creation Fluid on him!"
Thus, eight cultivators abandoned their pursuit of the remaining Heavenly Creation Fluid glob and set their sights on hunting down Shu Han.
