Chapter 574: Difficult Situation

Translator: Radiant Editor: Radiant

‘To think that this relic would be summoned at such a moment.’ Xue Ying inwardly shook his head. ‘It is unfortunate, but it is not a good time for this! I must focus completely on escaping with my life. If I don’t leave this place alive, I won’t get to keep any of the treasures I have on me, including the first half of the”Blood Demon Scripture”,’

Xue Ying immediately threw the matter of the resonating crimson-edged relic to the back of his mind. He was very clear about his current priorities.

A great many Abyss Sovereigns were currently entering the Three Chieftains Sacred Mountains, amongst them some with combat power even higher than Xue Ying’s. In fact, some of these people might have been able to exterminate him with a flip of their hand. At such a time, searching for treasures would amount to nothing more than his own untimely death.

“Sou!”

Turning into a stream of particles, Xue Ying rose his speed to his maximum as he made his escape.

“Sou, sou, sou, sou, sou, sou.”

The Abyss Sovereigns, who had by now already entered through various orifices, such as the nose, the mouth, its ears or other parts of the head, employed karma to sense Xue Ying’s approximate position. They were Xue Ying’s pursuers, so it was only natural that some karma would have formed between them.

“The area within five million kilometers around us is blurred. He must have own treasure that allows him to isolate himself from scouting techniques. But we can at least determine his approximate position.” The Abyss Sovereigns were rushing over with full confidence. They were very clear that the number of sovereigns coming out to capture Xue Ying would only increase as more time passed.

In fact, other than the sovereigns found in the first fifty layers, even experts located deeper in the Dark Abyss might act. Similarly, there was a possibility that paragon realm experts might step in as well.

At that point, the numbers of experts chasing Xue Ying would be tremendous! It could be said that he was merely struggling at death’s door.

News of Xue Ying’s retrieval of the first half of the “Blood Demon Scripture” as well as his being pursued throughout the Dark Abyss had already spread to the Deity world. Initially, only peak experts like the Bloodshed God Emperor and Paragon Huo Cheng were made aware of this, but as time passed, most powerful existences and stage four World Deities of the Deity world got to learn of it. After all, the disturbance created by so many people chasing after Xue Ying was enormous! A very large amount of sovereigns from the Dark Abyss were participating in the chase, making it a rare event for the Dark Abyss.

“Xue Ying.” Back in the Xia Clan world, in the inner section of Crimson Rock Mountain, Jing Qiu was currently accompanying Xue Ying in the corner of an elegant restaurant as they enjoyed its unique delicacies.

Jing Qiu was looking at Xue Ying, a trace of worry in her eyes. “Are you really being pursued right now?”

“Mn.” The white-robed Xue Ying smiled and gave a nod.

“I’ve been told that there are a lot of Abyss Sovereigns heading toward the Three Chieftains Sacred Mountain. I’ve even heard the news that the Heavenly Emperor of Great Destruction has set off in that direction,” Jing Qiu said with concern. “The Heavenly Emperor of Great Destruction has a combat power that is unfathomably deep.”

The white-robed Xue Ying raised his cup of wine and replied alongside a light chuckle, “Jing Qiu, your intelligence network is not bad.”

“My father was the one who told me. He and many of his old friends have been discussing this matter. By now, this incident must have spread throughout the entire Dark Abyss, and even most powerful existences of the Deity world, as well as a considerable amount of stage four World Deities, are discussing it,” Jing Qiu explained.

“This husband of yours is quite amazing, don’t you think? This is my first time visiting the Dark Abyss, yet look at what a huge commotion I’ve managed to create.” Xue Ying was beaming.

“How can you still be joking about this?!” A wave of helplessness washed over Jing Qiu. She truly was full of nothing but concern and anxiety.

“Why shouldn’t I joke about it? Worse come to worse, I’ll lose an avatar. I can always refine another. The only pity would be losing my weapon, the Scarlet Cloud Spear personally refined by my teacher,” Xue Ying said.

“Is it a lie that you have the first half of the “Blood Demon Scripture”, then?” Jing Qiu asked.

“It’s just one half, not the entire thing. Furthermore, now that I have a better grasp on what this technique is all about, I can’t help but feel that it is overly bloody and savage; it wouldn’t be a good fit for me to cultivate.” Xue Ying shook his head. He wasn’t too greedy for it since he already had two complete absolute arts—the “Luminous Sun” and “Extreme Annihilation Mysterious Body”. It only made sense that he wouldn’t act as crazed as those stage four World Deities and powerful existences.

Most paragons were indifferent to this same reason: they would normally have their own absolute arts. On top of that, the “Blood Demon Scripture” he owned was just a portion of the entire technique, so it had even less value in their eyes. Its greatest advantage lay in the fact that it was the original copy, which meant it could then be inherited by others. This was the only reason paragons paid any attention to it.

Xue Ying’s carefree attitude began to affect Jing Qiu, helping her reduce her anxiety to some degree. However, she still had to ask, “How certain are you in your ability to escape?”

“How certain? Hahaha…” Xue Ying shook his head. “My avatar is already inside Three Chieftains Sacred Mountain, and an endless stream of Abyss Sovereigns seem to be coming out to surround me. Being in such a situation, how could I dare to say I have any certainty of surviving? The only certain point is that I’ll be trying my best. Experiencing this sort of battle to my heart’s content is not that bad of an outcome anyway.”

Jing Qiu nodded lightly.

The two of them were discussing. Others within the restaurant could not hear what they were speaking. They could not even fathom that one was a stage four World Deity existence, and the other was someone with a powerful existence combat power, and also the master of this Crimson Rock Mountain world.
