With gritted teeth, Shu Han dragged his battered body inch by inch toward the teleportation array.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a burst of fiery light blocked his path. Two cultivators from the Fiery Cloud Instant Sect unleashed a wall of flames, halting Shu Han's progress. Soon, six more cultivators joined, surrounding Shu Han from all directions.
They caught up so quickly!
Alarmed, Shu Han realized that the only reason he had managed to escape earlier at the mountaintop was because these cultivators were wary of each other. As expected, those chosen for the Immaculate Realm at the Foundation Establishment phase were no ordinary individuals.
Leading the Fiery Cloud Instant Sect cultivators was Huang Chendong. With a sneer curling up at the corner of his mouth, he taunted with a fire cloud fan in hand, "Run! Why so slow now? Weren't you quite swift earlier?"
Shu Han scanned his surroundings. Every meridian in his body screamed in pain. Nonetheless, he crushed the mid-grade spirit stone in his hand, allowing a massive surge of spiritual power to pour into his damaged meridians, rapidly restoring his magic power.
"Hand over the Heavenly Creation Fluid, and we'll grant you a swift death."
Shu Han snorted coldly. The Eight-Direction Evil-Breaking Sword concealed in his sleeve, he produced a jade vial and declared, "The Heavenly Creation Fluid is here. It's only right to hand it over since you've cornered me. But thinking of killing me is a bit much. Step back, or I'll destroy this treasure, and neither of us will benefit."
Sensing the aura of the Heavenly Creation Fluid emanating from the vial, the cultivators hesitated.
They quickly changed their tune.
"Hand over the Heavenly Creation Fluid, and we'll spare your life!"
Holding the vial aloft, Shu Han surveyed the group, "I don't trust promises. Step back and give me some space. Once I see an escape route, I'll hand over the treasure."
The eight exchanged glances, their eyes filled with malice.
Huang Chendong shouted, "Don't try to play tricks! At most, you can contaminate the Heavenly Creation Fluid. You can't destroy it! Hand it over now, and we guarantee no harm will come to you."
At this moment, having accumulated enough magic power, Shu Han prepared to act.
The Heavenly Creation Fluid in the vial had already been consumed by Shangguan Ruolin. Instead, it contained a concentrated cold frost mist.
Calculating his next move, Shu Han hurled the vial. The cultivators would undoubtedly scramble for it. Once the cold frost mist erupted, he planned to employ the Six Union Shadow Escape Technique to flee the scene.
With eight of them in pursuit, whether he'd make it out or not would be a matter of luck!
Just as Shu Han was about to act, abruptly, the six teleportation pillars illuminating the Immaculate Realm changed color, turning a startling blood-red hue.
Everyone present was taken aback, alarmed by this uncanny transformation, unable to comprehend the situation.
Looking around, they noticed that from atop the Immaculate Realm mountain, mysterious runes were rapidly spreading across the sky within the beam of chaotic light. Recognizing these symbols, Shu Han's pupils contracted in horror.
Aren't these the runes that glowed during Gui Li's self-destruction?
A sense of dire urgency enveloped Shu Han. Without any delay, he threw the jade vial containing the Heavenly Creation Fluid directly to Huang Chendong.
Seeing the vial soaring toward him, Huang Chendong's eyes lit up in anticipation, and he hurriedly lunged for it.
The other cultivators too rushed forward, eager to seize the vial.
With a thought, Shu Han detonated the vial. The vast cold frost mist engulfed the vicinity, dampening everyone's spiritual senses.
"It's a fake!"
"Catch him!"
Exerting the last of his magic powers, Shu Han activated the Six Union Shadow Escape Technique. He transformed into a streak of light, shooting upwards. That streak split into six, each darting uncontrollably in different directions.
Shu Han's main body targeted the Purple Sun Sect's teleportation array. Although this was the most predictable route, he dared not linger in the Immaculate Realm amidst its abnormalities.
Leaving the Immaculate Realm was paramount!
Whoosh!
Majestic flames quickly dispelled the cold frost mist the next moment. Huang Chendong, with fury in his eyes, spotted the six streaks of Shu Han moving away in different directions. Clutching his fire cloud fan, he yelled, "Chase him! Only one of them is the real body! If we split up and pursue him, we'll surely find his true form!"
Flying uncontrollably in mid-air, Shu Han found this escape different from the last. Due to his reduced cultivation level, his speed and distance were significantly compromised. He hadn't even reached the teleportation array of the Purple Sun Sect before he crashed to the ground. Activating his Clear Bright Spiritual Eye, Shu Han discerned he was a mere fifty li from the Purple Sun Sect's teleportation array, with its colossal red pillar seeming almost within reach.
"So close!"
In desperation, Shu Han stuffed a handful of healing pills into his mouth. Incapable of flying, he summoned his external incarnation. The incarnation began dragging Shu Han's battered main body toward the teleportation array. Shu Han was well aware that with the enemy's numbers, they could spread out and pursue him, and his Six Union Shadow Escape Technique would soon be overtaken.
Thirty miles…
Twenty miles…
Ten miles…
Shu Han's main body, through the Clear Bright Spiritual Eye, looked behind and saw figures in pursuit. However, he was about to enter the teleportation array of the Purple Sun Sect. Once inside, his affairs with the Immaculate Realm would conclude. He could then hide inside a jade pendant with Linlin and assume the identity of Xu Zimo, under the protection of the Purple Sun Sect.
But suddenly, he spotted a figure standing within the Purple Sun Sect's teleportation array.
The man was clad in black with silver runes covering his body, reminiscent of those from Gui Li's self-destructive state.
A chill ran down Shu Han's spine.
Gui Wu! What was he doing here? Was he behind the anomaly of the array?
At that moment, Gui Wu, standing within the array, caught sight of Shu Han approaching, a sinister grin spreading across his face. Yet, he didn't leave the teleportation array, nor did he advance to take revenge on Shu Han.
This was a predicament.
Gui Wu blocked the front, and cultivators pursued from behind!
As Huang Chendong approached, transforming into a streak of fiery light, glee surged within him, seeing Shu Han's faltering state. He had correctly guessed the location of Shu Han's true body, which meant the Heavenly Creation Fluid would be his!
"Ahahaha! Boy! The Heavenly Creation Fluid on you will be mine! Die!"
Meanwhile, Gui Wu watched Shu Han with cold eyes, his lips moving as if uttering some words. The runes on his body grew brighter, and soon, he was enveloped in a silver aura.
Boom!
An explosion erupted within the teleportation array as Gui Wu inexplicably self-destructed. The resulting mist of blood, laced with runes, quickly seeped into the array. In an instant, the teleportation array's glow intensified, and countless runes began to spread.
"This…"
Shu Han's heart raced, looking at the six beams of bloody light. His expertise in formations made him realize its nature instantly.
Could this be the Blood Soul Tracking Formation they spoke of? Using the six sects' teleportation arrays as focal points, the entirety of the Immaculate Realm was enveloped! What did they intend to do?
Outside the Immaculate Realm, at the Purple Sun Sect.
The Master Purple Sun looked at the teleportation array in the sky, his brows deeply furrowed.
"How strange. Why has the teleportation array been shut down?"
The Platform Elder approached and asked, "Brother sect leader, what's wrong with the formation?"
Master Purple Sun replied, "The array's connection direction and spacetime coordinates have been altered. Currently, the Immaculate Realm's teleportation array cannot send our Purple Sun Sect disciples out. Instead, something is being sent to the Immaculate Realm from another location."
"Isn't this teleportation array constructed based on the designs given by the Green Thunder Sect? No one knows how to modify this formation."
Master Purple Sun said, "Junior Brother, notify all our disciples to be on alert immediately. I have a premonition that a significant event is about to unfold."
With gritted teeth, Shu Han dragged his battered body inch by inch toward the teleportation array.
Whoosh!
