Yan Zaizen and Yri flashed through the Dusk Zone. The two were flying through the air at maximum speeds. At times, Yan Zaizen would stretch his fingers and attempt to poke through the spatial void, hoping to penetrate it, but alas, it remained impregnable.
Yri would occasionally glance towards Yan Zaizen, her body emanating grey-colored temporal might. It seemed as if her body was moving through the river of time. At times, it seemed as if she was behind or ahead.
”What just happened?” She asked with a solemn expression. The event just before was abrupt and strange. According to Yan Zaizen, others were trying to simultaneously restrict and penetrate space, which caused that rippling spatial feedback that could unravel an individual's entirety.
Yan Zaizen helplessly sighed after his umpteenth attempt to enter the spatial void failed. His eyes were calm, radiating peerless confidence. If it wasn't for his Dao, his mind would crumble from the Non-Entity's Prophetic Instinct screaming at him of a looming deadly crisis. It was almost as if a banshee was beside his ear shrieking a single word: ”RUN!”
”As I said before, too many individuals were forcefully penetrating the spatial lock from the outside. Something was trying to prevent them from entering, but they penetrated through,” Yan Zaizen calmly said.
Yri already understood this point, ”I know. I meant, why?”
Yan Zaizen frowned, his eyes radiating a baleful intent. Could it be due to his Non-Entity Body? Could they have learned of it and desired to take it from him? This was his only true conclusion. The issue was...he didn't know how they were tracking him.
He could feel the instincts within him increase in intensity, not decrease. That meant his fleeing attempt hadn't done anything but delayed the situation. The Non-Verse was a powerful existence that could regard the world. It knew all and saw all. Even within the entire Heavenly Origin Grounds. As long as there was no negative interference, it could issue him a warning.
The only issue is that, while it can warn, it couldn't communicate too in-depth. He speculated that his body might be of the Non-Entity, but his soul lacked that quality. Therefore, it was incapable of doing anything but tingling his physical senses.
Coming to this conclusion, he felt even more pressed.
He looked towards Yri and calmly said, ”There's people after me. Likely for my body. If you separate from me, you'll have a chance to survive.”
Yri gazed back at Yan Zaizen. Her eyes lit up with a grey brilliance. ”Sure. Take me here and now, and I'll leave.” While she sounded like she was joking, her tone was serious to the pinnacle. If Yan Zaizen were to dual cultivate with her to obtain the Dao Heart, she would depart instantly.
Yan Zaizen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
”Until you do so, you can only pray that you can escape me,” Yri said, no longer bothering to ask any more questions. She pressed ahead with a swiftness.
Yan Zaizen sighed. Yri was such a devoted enigma.
He shook off those thoughts as he contemplated a way to escape. He didn't know who was chasing him or how strong they were, but if they came, they must belong to hegemonic forces of the various regions, like the Oneuli Empire. In fact, there were definitely more than two factions.
At least one sealed space to prevent others from entering or exiting the spatial void, and one penetrated that lock.
”Should I stand and fight?” His options were limited. However, he wouldn't rely on that option unless all others were exhausted. For now, he needed to find another spatial gateway to the thirty-three heavens. If he could penetrate it and bring Yri along, he could then enter Hell.
For now, he'll see if this route worked.

Traveling behind Yan Zaizen and Yri were several skyships, and at the forefront of this chase was a silver skyship rippling with spatial might. On the bow of the skyship was an elderly man, thin in body, wearing a loose robe, and had an unfathomably deep gaze. It was as if all of space were trapped within his eyes.
He had silver wings sprouting from his back. They weren't angelic, but demonic. They seemed like thin bat wings from hell, yet their silver shine brought a brilliance to it that made one gawk at the sight.
The other crew members were like the old man, possessing silver wings. However, their wings were all noticeably smaller in size, while the old man's wingspan reached twenty meters in height. They were currently furled, and if they were to be revealed, who knew how long they'd stretch.
A young woman arrived beside the old man, her beauty was astonishing as her black hair with silver highlights brought out her jade-like pale skin and black eyes. ”Master Qiankun,” she said with a tone suffused with the utmost respect and reverence.
The old man spoke in a withered voice, ”The 'Key' is quite fast. To think it could resist and leave that area of spatial rebound. It must be something special.”
