Chapter 436: 284: Resisting the Venerable’s strike, out of bounds! (Requests for monthly tickets, subscriptions!)
Especially when transforming into a rainbow in the sky, which greatly surpassed the speed of Earth Escape.
Jiang Yuan did a quick calculation: at this speed, it would take only about a dozen days to reach the boundary of the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land.
This was why he sent Shu Xiaoxiao home first.
Anyway, the Chu Family’s targets were now only him and Qin Yun, which meant Shu Xiaoxiao would naturally be safe.
Taking her with him would only put her in danger.
There was no hurry to collect the Luck Power from her and Birdy Huang.
Their realm status and Luck Power could be stored within them for a long time.
There was plenty of time.
Qin Yun felt the scenery around her blur and quickly closed her eyes, tightly curling up in Jiang Yuan’s arms.
She took in the scent of Jiang Yuan and her heart filled with tranquility.
Having Brother Jiang Yuan—a benefactor—in her life, felt so good!
Once she returned, she was determined to step into the path of cultivation as soon as possible and take revenge for her mother and Grandpa Li.
Jiang Yuan turned into a rainbow of five colors, traversing through the sky, dragging a long tail behind him.
This spectacle was witnessed by countless people.
But upon perceiving the speed at which he transformed into a rainbow, they were all astounded, their eyes filled with envy as they watched the rainbow of five colors disappear at the edge of their vision.
In the face of this speed, the vast territory of the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land seemed insignificant.
In the blink of an eye.
Fourteen days passed.
Liuyun Ridge.
Jiang Yuan looked at the mountain range in the distance; once he crossed the towering mountains, he would step out of the boundary of the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land.
The tranquility of his journey was beyond Jiang Yuan’s expectations.
Because if the Chu Family was being truthful, they still had one Sea-Calming Divine Needle yet to be launched, their Ancestral Master.
The Venerable who had opened the Four Polar Dao Palace.
Jiang Yuan originally thought that he would be intercepted by the Chu Family’s Ancestral Master during his journey.
But the outcome greatly exceeded his expectations.
These fourteen days, he had traveled through more than half of the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land, passed countless large cities, and nothing unexpected happened.
No one appeared in front of him.
He reached the boundary of the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land without any hindrance.
Now, all he had to do was cross the towering mountains in front of him and he would completely leave the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land.
Afterward, he would seek a large city and use its transmission array to quickly reach the ancestral grounds of the Qin family, the Xuanyuan Kingdom.
…
Liuyun City.
A man in a black robe, looking through a mirror at Jiang Yuan transforming into a rainbow, revealed a change of expression.
“A Dharma Realm cultivator of the fourth realm, carrying a girl and transforming into a rainbow. Could this be the criminal mentioned by Junior Brother Chu?”
“The criminal who kidnapped his great-granddaughter?”
He muttered to himself and then fell into deep thought.
It does seem to match, but this youngster’s speed while transforming into a rainbow is astoundingly fast!
He must surely be a rare genius among the Dharma Realm cultivators!
Should I intervene?
After several moments of contemplation, he let out a brisk laugh and shook his head slightly.
“I’ve become more contemplative after years of cultivation. Since I owe Junior Brother Chu a favor, I should fulfill that obligation!”
“Backed by the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land, what do I have to worry about!”
“Only blame his bad luck!”
“With the vast boundary line, he just happened to choose Liuyun Ridge, which I am guarding!”
“This was destined to be a trouble in his life!”
“This is ordained by fate. By making a move, I am acting in compliance with fate!”
With these thoughts, the man in the black robe disappeared.
The next moment, he appeared on the city’s wall.
Then, with a couple of flashes, he appeared on the peak of a high mountain.
He stood with his hands behind his back, waiting for the approaching Jiang Yuan!
In his heart, once he had made a decision, Jiang Yuan was already a dead man.
Even a casual strike from him was something a Dharma Realm cultivator of the fourth realm couldn’t withstand!
Time passed swiftly.
“Hm?” The man in the black robe suddenly frowned, looking at the ground in the distance: “That’s not right! The youngster is under the ground!”
In his eyes, the reflection of Jiang Yuan speeding underground was displayed.
He immediately showed a hint of surprise, then gave a slight smile: “Indeed cautious. While others may not be able to deal with you, I am different!”
As the guardian of Liuyun Ridge, not only do you require the strength of the Venerable level, but also a mastery of a certain pupil technique.
This level of pupil technique has all kinds of miraculous effects; it can see through illusions and penetrate all things.
Once this technique is implemented, the scanning effect can rival that of a spiritual treasure, combined with the Nine Nether Qingming mirror ensures no cultivator can cross the boundary without detection.
He looked at Jiang Yuan below him and slowly raised his finger.
Meanwhile.
A tremor ran through Jiang Yuan’s heart as a sense of impending crisis filled him.
His eyes swept across his surroundings.
In an instant, he noticed the man in the black robe in the distance.
His finger was already pointing at Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan’s gaze hardened, shocked, a Four Polar Venerable!
At that moment.
A ray of devastating light burst from the man in the black robe’s hand.
Space seemed to compress before him, a thousand-mile distance vanished in an instant.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Yuan’s mind raced, expending dharma-power.
“STOP!”
With one simple command, the space in front of him instantly froze, tough as millennium ancient iron.
However, in front of that devastating ray, space shattered repeatedly.
It seemed like nothing could stop its path, anything that touched this ray of light, was dissolved.
In an instant.
The beam of obliteration pierced through the condensed space, aiming right for his forehead.
At this instant, Jiang Yuan’s body subtly moved, with space in front of him shifting accordingly.
The beam of obliteration that was originally directed at his forehead, was then deflected into his chest instead.
As the beam made contact, he was expelled from his escape light state, and was propelled into the deep recesses of the earth by the dark beam.
He instantly felt his flesh being torn and shattered.
Countless microscopic cells were annihilated before his eyes, dissipating into nothingness.
On the other side.
The man in the black robe glimpsed this scene and revealed a casual smile.
“Your grasp of the spatial rules is not bad!”
“But it is a pity that in front of my annihilation fingers, everything is in vain!”
He watched as Jiang Yuan was hit by his annihilation finger pointing directly at him, watching his body continuously falling and sinking into the earth.
To him, Jiang Yuan was like a dead body. Although it was a Dharma Realm of great strength, it was still a Dharma Realm after all.
Not to mention he was merely a cultivator of the fourth level of the Dharma Realm.
Being hit with his annihilation finger, there was absolutely no chance of survival. The power of annihilation would directly erode and dissolve everything.
In a short matter of time, this man would certainly die and vanish into thin air!
He exhaled a heavy breath.
Hu——
He then revealed a faint smile, seemingly satisfied.
“Now that Chu Yi’s cause and effect knot is undone!”
The next moment.
His face changed drastically and he looked shocked.
“How is this possible!”
His eyes were filled with disbelief.
He noticed that Jiang Yuan, who had been suppressed into the earth by him, had suddenly disappeared. His gaze quickly scanned the surroundings.
Unfortunately, he only found Jiang Yuan’s figure thousands of miles away.
“Small Movement Charm!”
He slowly uttered these words.
At this moment, Jiang Yuan’s figure disappeared again.
He vanished from this spot and moved twice, escaping a range of two thousand miles and completely disappearing from his line of sight.
It was then that he heard the echo of Jiang Yuan’s voice in his ears.
“Shen Lang, remember me!”
“Remember me?” Shen Lang chuckled coldly and murmured to himself, “So what if you remember me?”
He took a deep look at the place where Jiang Yuan disappeared.
His figure flickered repeatedly.
Shortly after, he was back at the City Lord Residence, appearing in front of the Nine Nether Qingming Mirror.
“Greeting, Guardian!” The two people guarding the Nine Nether Qingming Mirror rushed to salute him.
Shen Lang nodded slightly.
He glanced at the Nine Nether Qingming Mirror in front of him.
Boosted by the city’s grand formation, the monitoring range of the mirror was expanded tenfold.
An area of hundreds of thousands of miles was now under the surveillance of the Nine Nether Qingming Mirror.
Under Shen Lang’s operation, the mirror instantly showed Jiang Yuan’s figure. He was seen shielding Qin Yun, constantly activating the Small Movement Charm deep in the earth.
After a few shifts, he had crossed Liuyun Ridge and walked out of the boundary of Heavenly Origin Sacred Land.
His injuries didn’t seem serious?
His heart jumped, immediately revealing concern.
Although he hadn’t used his full strength just now, he had released fifty percent of his power.
In his view, not to mention a force as strong as fifty percent.
Even if it was only ten percent, it should have been more than enough to easily kill any Dharma Realm powerhouse.
Not to mention this criminal was merely a commonplace cultivator of the fourth level Dharma Realm.
But the result now had greatly exceeded his expectations.
Not only could he not kill him with the annihilation finger, but even his body seemed to have not taken a big hit.
At this moment, he remembered the words Jiang Yuan had said not long ago.
Have you remembered me yet?
That’s fine!
The next time I encounter you, I will not show any mercy!
Shen Lang quietly watched Jiang Yuan cross Liuyun Ridge and pass the boundary of the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land.
He then transformed into a speck of light and disappeared.
At this distance, he knew it was already too late to pursue.
The two were already tens of thousands of miles apart, by the time he gave chase, with Jiang Yuan’s speed, he would have long flown to an unknown place.
…
On the other hand.
Jiang Yuan kept escaping, pushing his five-element escape technique to the limit.
He continuously shuttled through the deep layers of the earth.
When he was about to exit the boundary of the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land, he was intercepted and attacked.
He had never seen it coming.
He then quietly chastised himself.
How heedless!
So heedless!
The consecutive victories had made me arrogant and complacent, greatly lowering my guard!
I even chose the shortest way to leave the boundary of the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land, and as such, was intercepted by someone waiting ahead.
If it had been the past, I would definitely have taken a detour, and wouldn’t have gone through Liuyun Ridge!
He then took a moment to feel the injuries to his body.
The sweep of the dark beam had opened a horrifying wound that went through his body.
There were still traces of annihilation power tormenting him inside his body, eroding his physical body.
But as his own cells were breaking down, these residual powers were gradually dispersing.
As the annihilation power dispersed, the wound began to heal, and flesh regenerated.
After dozens of breaths, the wound on his chest gradually healed until he was completely restored.
