Chapter 506 - Yi Qiutian (1/2)

The Frost Demon Sect was one of the overlords of the Abyss Pearl Mainland’s demonic path.

It had dozens of Universe Heaven experts and hundreds of Heavenly Law True Gods; it was incredibly powerful.

At its peak, it had dominated the demonic path.

The Frost Demon Sect was on a tall mountain, and the icy wind was bone-chilling. Countless cultivators were split among the various outposts on the mountain, while there were also disciples standing guard on the plains below.

Now that the war between two worlds had begun and the Great Sky Sect and Earth Dragon Clan had been annihilated, even though they were quite far away, they still felt unsettled.

Zhou Xuanji and Great Emperor Wuwang walked on the plains, looking at the Frost Demon Sect; they could sense a somber and desolate aura.

“Looks like the Frost Demon Sect is very smart; we can’t directly start fighting,” Great Emperor Wuwang said as he lightly laughed, and he stopped walking.

Zhou Xuanji asked, “Do we give up?”

He could also sense the danger.

This battle was most likely going to be even more difficult than the previous two.

Great Emperor Wuwang thought for a moment before nodding and saying, “Let’s retreat and put our focus on those items created by the heavens and earth.”

Stealing Fate could be achieved not just by killing enemies.

They could also plunder the treasures that contained Heaven and Earth Fate—this included the Great Thousand World’s 18 Saint Swords.

Zhou Xuanji nodded, and the two of them turned and left.

As such, the Frost Demon Sect was able to avoid calamity.

The two of them left quite quickly, but one hour later, they suddenly stopped.

A person had appeared in front of them, and that person casually walked towards them.

This person was the white-clothed man who had been searching for them and found the cave earlier.

“Where do you think the two of you are going?” the white-clothed man asked as he slightly smiled. Despite being 1,000 meters away, his gaze collided with Zhou Xuanji’s and Great Emperor Wuwang’s, and he did not seem afraid that his two prey would escape.

Now that he had caught up to them, they had no hope of escaping.

Great Emperor Wuwang narrowed his eyes and said, “Sir is truly powerful; after chasing after us for such a long time, you ended up catching up to us.”

Zhou Xuanji was expressionless, but inwardly he felt quite surprised.

This fellow had been chasing after them this whole time?

Why hadn’t Great Emperor Wuwang mentioned this earlier?

Could it be that he had expected Zhou Xuanji to have sensed him as well?

A common acknowledgement between experts?

Zhou Xuanji thought to himself as his gaze locked onto the white-clothed man’s body.

“Remember my name, Yi Qiutian,” the white-clothed man said as he gave a slight smile. As he spoke, he raised his right hand, and a black oil lamp appeared in his hand. The flame flickered in the wind, but it refused to be extinguished.

Yi Qiutian?

Great Emperor Wuwang’s expression slightly fell and he sent a telepathic message to Zhou Xuanji, saying, “Quickly leave; I’ll stop him! This person is someone who the Sage especially named to avoid at all costs.”

Zhou Xuanji frowned; this name was not on the Abyss Pearl Hero Ranking, but Sage Daojing had warned Great Emperor Wuwang about him.

What did this mean?

Could he be an existence on the level of the old beggar and old immortal?

“Neither of you will be able to escape,” Yi Qiutian said as he gave a slight smile, and he came before the two of them in a single step.

Zhou Xuanji instinctively took out the Nine Moon Execution Sword, preparing to fight.

Yi Qiutian suddenly waved his hand, and the black lamp gave off a brilliant fiery light. Zhou Xuanji felt a heavy impact on his soul, and he felt quite dizzy. In the next second, he was absorbed into the black lamp.

Great Emperor Wuwang turned into a wave of demonic qi, but he was still absorbed by the black lamp.

All of a sudden, a black light shot out from the demonic qi, disappearing over the horizon.

Yi Qiutian slightly raised his eyebrows and muttered, “That demon is not simple; could that be his signature divine ability?”

He shook his head, turned, and left.

At the same time, Zhou Xuanji recovered consciousness. He opened his eyes and looked about, and he found that he had been surrounded by intense flames. It was as if he was in a sea of flames that extended as far as the eye could see.

Looking up in the air, he could see countless sparks in the sky.

“Is this the world in the lamp?” Zhou Xuanji tightly frowned and took out the Ancient God Sword as he communicated with the nine souls.

This scene made him feel like he was a certain monkey king in the Eight Trigrams Furnace.
