Hunting Immortals and Demons

Lou Lingxue sneered with mockery as she unleashed her killer move.

"Heavenly Machine Arrow."

With a light shout from her, a bow covered in runes flew out from her body, and with a buzzing sound, a splendid arrow shot toward Lu Lingxuan.

Shen Shengming also attacked from another side.

His domain pressed toward Lu Lingxuan’s, and the two domains collided and squeezed each other, twisting like two balloons deforming in shape.

At this moment, the attacks from Zhao Tianxia and Lou Lingxue struck, bombarding Lu Lingxuan’s domain.

Lu Lingxuan’s domain instantly caved in, revealing cracks, and her body violently shook, retreating a step backwards. But it was only a single step before she forcefully stabilized her figure, standing next to the Tianji Guide.

The consequence of doing so was that she did not discharge the force elsewhere; instead, she bore the attack of three great experts with her own body.

And the result of enduring it was several mouthfuls of fresh blood coughed up, a pale complexion, and damaged internal organs.

"Lu Lingxuan, you’re on the brink of death and still trying to protect the Tianji Guide. How laughable. It seems, you really do care about this Lu Yan. Well, I’ll send you off together, Dayu Tianque Fist."

Zhao Tianxia sneered, swinging his fists.

His fists, seemingly not that big, caused the entire void to shake when swung, as if a divine mountain spanning ten thousand feet was moving.

His fists conjured up an illusory, grand and ancient palace, bearing down on Lu Lingxuan.

On the other side, Shen Shengming and Lou Lingxue were also attacking with full force.

"Domain, burn."

Lu Lingxuan revealed a determined and resolute color. She knew that if she didn’t break out, she would definitely not be able to leave and would die here.

But she still had no thoughts of breaking through.

She had promised Lu Yan to protect the Tianji Guide.

Once she left, the Tianji Guide would be destroyed, and Lu Yan would forever be lost in the World of Ten Thousand Universes, eternally doomed.

Her domain blazed fiercely; even her hair was enveloped in a layer of radiant flames.

She looked sacred yet tragic.

She pushed her power to the extreme.

But she was still unable to stop the combined attack of the three great experts.

The three great experts, with only Lou Lingxue being slightly weaker, weren’t much inferior. Three of them attacking together were unstoppable by most within their level.

Unless it was those legendary exceptional physiques, such as the Multiple-Origin Body, All-Origin Body, Origin-Ancestor Body with such heaven-defying physiques.

Boom! Boom!

Splat!

Lu Lingxuan’s domain was shattered, and a bright arrow struck her chest.

Lu Lingxuan coughed blood as she was thrown backward, her face pale.

"Lu Yan..."

Lu Lingxuan murmured, showing a look of despair.

Boom!

Zhao Tianxia’s fist energy landed, and the Tianji Guide shattered into ash.

With the destruction of the Tianji Guide, the thread extending from it vanished without a trace.

"Hahaha, the Tianji Guide is destroyed, Lu Lingxuan, now it’s your turn."

Zhao Tianxia laughed heartily as he punched toward Lu Lingxuan once more.

Lu Lingxuan struggled to her feet, displaying the ’Seven-Injury Scripture,’ turning her injuries into power, desperately attempting to fight to the death for Lu Yan’s vengeance.

Just then, a domain descended from the sky, enveloping Zhao Tianxia and the others.

Across the ground, numerous vines spread out, like giant pythons, coiling toward Zhao Tianxia, Shen Shengming, Lou Lingxue, and others.

Each of these vines was covered in Magic Imprints, incredibly robust and enduring.

Zhao Tianxia and Shen Shengming’s attacks landed on them, but they didn’t manage to break through the vines immediately.

A figure dropped from the sky.

"Lin Wenxin, it’s you."

Zhao Tianxia’s face changed.

Lin Wenxin was also an Initial Body, extremely powerful, with profound cultivation. It was said that he could have broken through to the Tao Realm long ago if he so wished.

But he constantly held back from breaking through, wanting to accumulate deeper in the Immortal Realm to perfect his future doctrine.

"Lu Lingxuan, hurry and leave. Where there’s life, there’s hope."

Lin Wenxin landed beside Lu Lingxuan, speaking softly to her.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

Lin Wenxin, after all, was only in the Immortal Realm. Although he was strong, it was hard to fully hold off Zhao Tianxia and the rest.

As Zhao Tianxia and Shen Shengming attacked relentlessly, the vines kept exploding.

Lu Lingxuan’s complexion wavered.

But she quickly made a decision.

If the Tianji Guide hadn’t been destroyed, she would have never left, but now that the Tianji Guide was already gone, even staying and sacrificing herself would be futile.

Better to preserve herself for future revenge on Lu Yan’s behalf.

"Go."

She teamed up with Lin Wenxin, soaring into the sky.

"Stay."

Zhao Tianxia, Shen Shengming, and Lou Lingxue had broken through Lin Wenxin’s domain, flying up to pursue Lu Lingxuan and Lin Wenxin.

Lu Lingxuan and Lin Wenxin joined forces, stacking their domains and pushing down to hold off Zhao Tianxia and the others while they took the opportunity to shoot into the high sky, rapidly escaping into the distance.

"Hmph."

Zhao Tianxia and the others pursued for a while but then stopped.

They also knew that with the strength of Lu Lingxuan and Lin Wenxin, even if they caught up, they might not be able to kill them. Even if they could, it would cost them more than they were willing to pay.

"It’s a good thing this mission wasn’t completely without gains. Destroying the Tianji Guide, Lu Yan will forever remain in the World of Ten Thousand Universes. Lu Yan’s talent, even more extraordinary than Lu Lingxuan’s, losing such a rare genius will surely be a blow to the Dragon Alliance."

Shen Shengming said with a light chuckle.

Hearing this, Zhao Tianxia finally felt somewhat better.

After flying a great distance, Lu Lingxuan and Lin Wenxin stopped once they confirmed that Zhao Tianxia and the others weren’t following them.

"Lin Wenxin, I thank you for the rescue," Lu Lingxuan said with a bow.

"You saved me once before. Consider this my repayment. From now on, we are even."

Lin Wenxin said.

Lu Lingxuan nodded.

"Farewell."

Lin Wenxin was very straightforward, he clasped his fist in a salute, then flew off into the distance.

...

In the World of Ten Thousand Universes, Lu Yan was comprehending the mysteries of a world that contained the elemental laws of wind, fire, and earth when his expression suddenly changed drastically.

At that moment, he felt that the thread connecting him to the Tianji Guide had snapped.

"If the thread has broken, then it must mean the Tianji Guide has been destroyed. With Lu Lingxuan guarding it, and it being marked deep underground, how could it be destroyed?"

"Could it be Zhao Tianxia, Shen Shengming, and those people? But how did they find the Tianji Guide?"

"It’s that Lou Lingxue."

Suddenly, a light flashed in Lu Yan’s mind, and he thought of Lou Lingxue.

He had never doubted that Lu Lingxuan would betray him.

If the Tianji Guide was destroyed, did that mean Lu Lingxuan was more likely in grave danger than safe?

Lu Yan’s face became extremely unsightly.

Without the guidance of the Tianji Guide, even if he found Shen Yinuo and Mr. World, he wouldn’t be able to get out.

They would all be trapped here.

"Stay calm, stay calm..."

Lu Yan took a deep breath to calm himself down.

"Never mind getting out for now, I must find Yinuo first. Even if we can never leave, I want to be with Yinuo."

Lu Yan reflected inwardly.

He shook his head, cleared his mind of all distractions, and continued on his way.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed since he had entered the World of Ten Thousand Universes.

One day, he arrived in a world where the laws of thunder, fire, wind, earth, and gold were evolving in perfect harmony.

The five elemental laws interwove and complemented each other, resulting in a world that had become colorful and vibrant.

Though it couldn’t compare to a complete world, it was many times more perfected than worlds composed of a single elemental law.

"Thunder, fire, wind, earth, and gold, the five elemental laws merge perfectly. I have already fused the laws of thunder, fire, wind, and earth. This place is perfectly suited for me to cultivate and comprehend the Rule of Gold and merge it with the other four..."

Lu Yan murmured to himself.

He cast aside his distractions.

Since he had lost the guidance and couldn’t leave, and he couldn’t find Shen Yinuo for the time being, he was no longer in a hurry.

He might as well cultivate in peace.

The greatest danger of the World of Ten Thousand Universes was being boundless and without a way out, forever lost in the endless worlds.

But there were no powerful beings, no other dangers.

Shen Yinuo and Mr. World, on the other hand, had infinite lifespans, which was not a concern for him.

Not being able to leave was relative.

He firmly believed that as long as his cultivation level was strong enough, he would be able to leave this place.

If Immortal Realm was not enough, then Tao Realm; if Tao Realm was not enough, then Creator Realm...

As long as his cultivation level continued to break through and his strength kept rising, sooner or later, he would find Shen Yinuo and be able to leave here.

He sat cross-legged, his Primordial Spirit flew out and hovered above his head, his Spiritual Sense unfolded, merging with the void and with the elemental laws.

His mind was clear, without a trace of distraction, fully focused on comprehending how the five elemental laws of thunder, fire, wind, earth, and gold achieved perfect fusion.

Merely one day later, Lu Yan opened his eyes.

It wasn’t because it was ineffective, but because the effect was too good.

A smile appeared in his eyes.

One day of cultivation here was equivalent to several years outside.

Combined with his own heaven-defying comprehension of the elemental laws and the environment here, it was as natural as a fish in water.

"Here, the way the five elemental laws merge is fully displayed before my eyes. All the mysteries are clearly visible, and comprehending them is too easy."

Lu Yan whispered to himself.

He then closed his eyes and continued his comprehension.

In cultivation, there is no concept of years, and time passed day by day.

Before he knew it, Lu Yan had been cultivating in this world for three months.

After three months, Lu Yan rose into the air and threw a punch.

Instantly, the five elemental laws of thunder, fire, wind, earth, and gold spiraled out, interweaving with each other and finally merging together, unleashing a power so great that it made the void rumble incessantly, eventually blasting a hole through it.

"I’ve done it."

A smile spread across Lu Yan’s face.

In just three months, he had successfully fused the Rule of Gold with the other four laws—a feat that would have been unthinkable in the outside world.

It must be known that the fusion of elemental laws becomes more difficult as you progress.

"I wonder if there are worlds within the World of Ten Thousand Universes where six elemental laws merge, or even seven, eight..."

"If there are, perhaps I can use them to succeed in fusing multiple laws."

A look of anticipation appeared on Lu Yan’s face.

Having succeeded, there was no longer a reason to stay in this world. Lu Yan moved on to the next world.

However, for the next half month, Lu Yan did not find any worlds with the fusion of six or even seven elemental laws.

At most, he encountered worlds with five laws, and although he gained some insight from them, they did not help him fuse the sixth law.

One day, Lu Yan passed through a spatial rift and arrived in a new world.

"Hmm?"

As soon as he reached this world, Lu Yan paused, his expression showing a hint of astonishment.

Because this world was different from all the others he had passed through.

This world was too complete.

What met his eyes were rolling hills, steep mountains, and lush green grass.

The scent of flowers mixed with the smell of fresh grass hit him.

This was a complete world.
