Chapter 538

“This is Yin Wushang’s aura!” Long Chen’s expression changed, as he sensed a powerful killing intent that was very familiar . “How did he find me so quickly?”

Long Chen couldn’t help being startled . He had left behind countless misleading paths behind him . Even if there were people chasing after him, it should have taken them several days .

But in just one night, Yin Wushang was already close enough for him to sense . Based on his feeling of danger, the two of them were definitely not that far apart .

“I can’t fight him in my current state . Time to slip away . ” Long Chen began rus.h.i.+ng through the mountain forests . Although he had confidence in himself, in front of a Celestial, he could only run right now .

Unless he managed to advance to Meridian Opening, he didn’t have the ability to fight him . Furthermore, with Yin Wushang’s ridiculous Cry of the Heavenly Daos, he still wouldn’t have a chance of beating him .

Of course, if he could just condense the third star—the Life Fate Star—and bring out the Three Star Battle Armor, then he would be able to resist at least a portion of the Heavenly Daos’ energy .

When he had fought with Yin Wushang, he had noticed that the Two Star Battle Armor was able to resist the Heavenly Daos’ energy slightly .

He finally understood why the Heavenly Daos would reject him . The power of the Nine Stars clashed with this world’s Heavenly Daos . They were like water and fire .

However, his current Nine Stars’ energy was too weak and was not enough to resist the Heavenly Daos .

Unfortunately, right now, the only thing he knew about the third star was its name and that it would be located at the center of his right foot . The pill formula for it had yet to appear in his mind, and so he was unable to even refine the Life Fate Pills, let alone condense the star .

“Something’s wrong . I’m going in such a winding path, but they’re still getting closer?”

Long Chen’s expression turned slightly darker . After rus.h.i.+ng as fast as he could, he realized the sensation of danger wasn’t fading but growing stronger instead . In other words, Yin Wushang was quickly approaching .

“I know, it has to be from the Heavenly Dao’s injuries!” Long Chen suddenly stopped . After recovering to eighty percent, he had focused completely on urging on the primal chaos bead so that the trees would grow . He hadn’t completely healed himself .

Thinking of a certain possibility, he hastily urged on the primal chaos s.p.a.ce . Thirty-six immense trees had their life energy extracted for his use .

In just a few breaths’ time, the injuries on Long Chen’s body completely recovered as the remaining will of the Heavenly Daos on his body was erased .

Long Chen smiled mischievously and then disappeared from his current location

…

Yin Wushang had been leading the Yin family’s elite experts through a thick forest . Every so often, he would pause and sense for something before continuing .

But this time when he stopped, his expression became shocked, as he realized he could no longer sense Long Chen’s position .

“b.a.s.t.a.r.d, how is that possible?!” Yin Wushang couldn’t help raging . After being injured by the Heavenly Daos, their will had remained on Long Chen’s body . As a Celestial, Yin Wushang was capable of using his sharp senses to locate him .

That was also why Yin Wushang had refused to leave . After his injuries had recovered enough, he had immediately begun chasing .

Now that the sensation of the Heavenly Daos had disappeared out of nowhere, he was startled and infuriated . There were only two possibilities .

One was that Long Chen was dead, perhaps eaten by a Magical Beast . Then, with his soul dissipating, the will of the Heavenly Daos would have nothing to adhere to and would also fade .

The other possibility was that Long Chen had somehow managed to erase the will of the Heavenly Daos on his body and completely recover .

With Yin Wushang’s understanding of Long Chen, he didn’t believe Long Chen would die so easily . The odds of the second possibility were extremely high .

In his fury, Yin Wushang smashed apart a large tree in front of him, startling all those elites behind him . They didn’t dare utter a sound as they trembled . They knew that Yin Wushang was on the verge of going berserk .

Even in this kind of situation, Long Chen had still managed to escape . That made Yin Wushang feel like he might explode . This was the first time he felt so stifled .

However, even if he was unwilling, he wasn’t a fool . He knew that with Long Chen’s sly nature, catching up to him within this thick forest was like searching for a needle in a haystack .

“Junior master, what should we do now?” Seeing that no one else dared say anything, Yin Qing opened her mouth .

Yin Wushang’s expression was frighteningly dark, but as the Yin family’s junior master, he still had to be extremely steady . He quickly calmed himself down and thought about it .

“It’s indisputable that Long Chen has already managed to escape . We should go back . At the same time, alert the spies we have in the secular world . I want to find out everything about Long Chen, including his origin and what family he has!”

“Junior master, that’s a grave taboo!” cried a late Xiantian elder .

The cultivation world’s iron rule was that the path of cultivation was a struggle for experts . But this b.l.o.o.d.y struggle could not be permitted to reach the ordinary mortals .

If anyone decided to take out their anger on a cultivator’s family, that would be an immense taboo . If the expert’s family were also cultivators, then that would be alright . But if they weren’t, then whoever attacked them would become targeted by the entire cultivation world .

There were countless records of this happening, and those violators had all been exterminated . Immense existences like the Yin family were also amongst them .

“Idiot, I just said investigate, not target them . I just want to know Long Chen’s origins, understand?!” raged Yin Wushang .
