Chapter 287 A Home That Cannot Be Contained
Chapter 287 Unable to Go Home
"Lord Miaowu will be here soon! In 10 seconds, how many times can Ye Yang cast Void Lockdown?"
Kui Que couldn't help but smile slightly: "Later, Lord Miao Wu will definitely suspect and investigate Ye Yang first, and will pay less attention to me. At that time, I just need to use the reincarnation secret technique that my father taught me to save my life in critical moments, and I might as well reincarnate in this Xuanxian Realm and become a native of this world!"
"As long as you can survive, there is still hope—"
However, just as Kui Que made up her mind and seemed to see herself escaping from this despair, the surrounding space and time were stretched and extended again, and the light suddenly shifted red and dimmed!
This time, the void blockade is more powerful and effective than the last one!
"What?! So fast? How is that possible!" Kui Que's eyes widened.
During the time she was in contact with the Void Cult, the few True Immortal-level Void Elders she encountered did not use the ability to seal the void so frequently.
Although those Void Elders didn't have much understanding of the laws of the Void, they could borrow a bit of power from the Void by virtue of their highly corrupted state. With this power as a guide, they could manipulate space and time and use various supernatural abilities of the Void Order.
Void sealing is one of the more basic and common methods, a technique that every immortal-level void elder knows.
However, the Void Elders could not possibly cast Void Lockdown twice in less than a minute like Ye Yang did!
"Speaking of which, I really have to thank you—" Ye Yang's eyes flashed with an icy light: "I have many insights from the trip to Little Sumeru Mountain, but I haven't fully digested them yet."
"But the fact that you forced this Void Legacy on me allowed me to quickly grasp some of the mysteries of the transformation of spacetime."
Within the void's seal, time was stretched out, giving Ye Yang plenty of time.
The longer he stays in the void seal, the more power he can consume from the Sunflower Sparrow Protective Immortal Treasure, and the more backlash he will suffer from his own recovery technique!
Therefore, he deliberately started a conversation, wanting to argue with Kui Que and buy time.
"You!" Kui Que gritted her teeth, her lips trembling with anger.
Why is she doing this?
The first time, it was fine to use the method left in the body by the Dharma Protector to chant the Dao sound, and the price was not high. The second time, Kui Que used her own original essence to chant the Dao sound for Ye Yang!
She had gone to such great lengths to benefit Ye Yang, yet this man still arrogantly used the power she had helped him gain to harm her, all the while proudly flaunting it—
Kui Que felt both angry and aggrieved. How could things have turned out this way? What happened to the promise of a bright future following the Holy Son?
Power, cultivation, authority, status—all her beautiful fantasies about the future vanished in an instant. She felt that the whole world had deceived her, and everyone had lied to her.
Even though she was overwhelmed with emotion, Kui Que was, after all, a sixth-level cultivator who had cultivated for hundreds of years. Although she had been protected by her father since childhood and had rarely experienced any real life-or-death situations, she still keenly sensed Ye Yang's intentions.
"He didn't want to talk to me much just now, he kept saying he wanted to kill me, and he wouldn't answer my calls—is he just stalling for time now?"
Kui Que hesitated for a moment.
This was the first time she had made a judgment in a life-or-death situation, and she herself was somewhat uncertain. Therefore, she made the right judgment, but hesitated when making the decision.
Within the void's lockdown, time moves extremely slowly in the outside world, making it difficult to wait for rescue no matter how long one lingers here.
The immortal power within the Kui Que's protective magic treasure is limited; she cannot replenish it herself, so every bit used is less.
Forcibly breaking through the void blockade to escape does indeed consume a lot of resources, but this consumption is necessary. Regardless of whether time is wasted in the void blockade, the cost of breaking through the blockade must be paid!
The correct approach would be to reduce the expenditure on maintaining defenses within the blockade. A normal cultivator would have already decisively broken through the blockade and continued their escape by now.
However, Kui Que hesitated for about ten seconds, seemingly waiting for Ye Yang to take the initiative to attack her.
Why would Ye Yang be so foolish? Knowing that a single strike from the immortal treasure in her hand could potentially kill his clone, why would he still take the initiative to reveal himself and attack?
He was naturally hiding in this void, waiting for the moment when Kui Que revealed a weakness before throwing out the sealing sphere containing the world-devouring 'Fire God Source Crystal'!
"I have to escape." Seeing that Ye Yang had no intention of showing himself, Kui Que could only grit her teeth and activate her protective immortal treasure again, consuming a large amount of its stored immortal power to break through this void-sealed area.
boom!
A bright light suddenly appeared, bursting forth with violent energy.
A Fire God Source Crystal comparable to the self-destruction of a peak-level King-level expert also unleashed considerable power in this Lost Immortal Realm.
It could even be said that this was truly earth-shattering in the Xuanxian Realm!
Rumble rumble rumble~
The enormous fireball enveloped an area tens of millions of kilometers in diameter, turning almost all living things within it into ashes.
However, Ye Yang took advantage of the moment the void seal was broken and, pushed away from the explosion center by the force of spacetime rebound, escaped from the center of the explosion.
With his current small frame, he is not able to withstand such a terrifying explosive force!
After all, his true form had neither the basic power of a 3600-fold world lord nor the ability to weaken energy impacts from armor; he was merely a slightly overpowered sixth-tier cultivator.
"I wonder if a pure energy attack equivalent to the self-destruction of a peak-level King-rank expert can break through the Star Lord's Great Dao Immortal Power protection?"
Ye Yang wasn't entirely sure either; he could only carefully sense the woman's presence amidst the chaotic fluctuations of spacetime.
"Ah!!! Who?! Who destroyed my sect?!"
"Heavens above! Why must this happen to Peach Blossom Cave? All three hundred disciples of the sect have perished, leaving only eleven of us rogue immortals..."
"Master, Grandmaster, I'm so sorry, the ancestral legacy has been ruined—"
Sensing the mournful cries coming from a certain direction, Ye Yang sighed. This was a case of gods fighting and mortals suffering the consequences.
Fortunately, there aren't many humans within these tens of millions of kilometers, because the Xuanxian Realm is, after all, a fragment of the ancient immortal realm. Having experienced great battles, many places in the wild are fraught with danger, and there are very few places suitable for human survival and reproduction.
In addition, the human race in the Xuanxian Realm has a much lower reproductive capacity than that in the lower realm, and the population is smaller and more concentrated.
Therefore, within a radius of tens of millions of kilometers, only a small sect with a few hundred people can be considered a population cluster.
Ye Yang sensed space and time, and naturally he also clearly perceived this dilapidated battlefield.
Only a few powerful cultivators could survive, and even within tens of thousands of kilometers of the explosion's epicenter, only rogue cultivators at the fourth tribulation level or above had a chance of surviving!
At this moment, the cultivators were terrified and most of them fled in panic.
"An attack of this power must be the work of two Immortal Venerables! It's terrifying. We must get away as soon as possible to avoid being caught in the crossfire again." One by one, cultivators in the Tribulation Transcending stage, rogue immortals in seclusion, and even immortals who had survived the Heavenly Tribulation began to flee.
Faced with this power that seemed to overturn the heavens and earth, they had no intention of staying behind to express their opinions.
"Found it!" Ye Yang's eyes lit up, and his figure flashed again towards a pinkish-blue streak of light more than 20 million kilometers away.
"What was that just now? How could he have such a method!" Kui Que was still wrapped and protected by the light blue ribbon.
Even though she was right in the eye of that terrifying explosion, she was completely unharmed, and the hem of her gorgeous clothes was not damaged in the slightest.
But at this moment, she was filled with fear.
Just like that—the immortal power in the magical treasure was completely depleted. How could Kui Que not panic?
However, no matter what she thought, she couldn't change her situation.
The surrounding light shifted red and dimmed again, and it happened so suddenly that it was almost imperceptible, showing that Ye Yang was becoming more and more skilled at using this move.
Kui Que gritted her teeth, "Is this guy's body made of iron? He's suffered backlash from two Void Techniques in a row. Even a Void Elder would be close to returning to the Void. How can he still unleash it so quickly?!"
Ye Yang's body is certainly not made of iron, it's just stronger than steel.
Furthermore, the true essence of his body-tempering technique is fundamental!
Even if the body is chopped into mincemeat, as long as there is enough matter and energy, and the true meaning remains, everything can be restored to its original state with just one refinement!
Naturally, he is not comparable to those evil immortals who have taken crooked paths, control powerful forces that do not belong to them, and whose physical constitutions are still very "weak".
Moreover, Ye Yang's comprehension of the laws of spacetime and the laws of void is actually far superior to those void evil immortals, and even close to the graduation requirements of some Star Lord Enlightenment Program special talents who cultivate the Way of the Great Void. Its value is absolutely beyond doubt.
"Ye Yang!" Kui Que's voice trembled slightly. "I've already recorded everything. Do you still want to continue?"
"Stop now, and we still have room to maneuver. We can treat today's events as a misunderstanding."
As she spoke, a bronze mirror appeared in Kui Que's hand, displaying various images: the scene of the void being sealed off, Ye Yang hiding in the void, and Ye Yang's furious attack on Kui Que with his aura of void energy. "If you insist on attacking me, you will have no chance left! Once this video is uploaded, you will be unable to clear your name even if you jump into the Yellow River!"
Kui Que threatened sharply.
However, Ye Yang saw through her facade and realized that she was all bark and no bite, just putting on an act.
"Could it be that the power of her immortal treasure is about to be exhausted?" Ye Yang guessed this and couldn't help but sneer, continuing to observe.
After waiting for several seconds without any response from the dark void, Kui Que's expression grew increasingly grim. She finally snapped, "Ye Yang! I'll give you two seconds to break the void seal, or I'll upload this record immediately after I break it!"
However, two seconds passed, and Kui Que still hadn't received a response from Ye Yang. The deep, empty darkness gave her a strange sense of panic and terror.
Last time, Ye Yang would deliberately provoke her with words to buy time, so why is he silent this time?
Kui Que could no longer bear the weight of this fear, and with a wave of her hand, the pale blue ribbon suddenly trembled.
Boom!
Spacetime trembled and distorted, then suddenly shattered. Countless rays of light from all around rapidly brightened and shifted to blue, as if they had been instantly pulled closer to our eyes.
The void seal was broken, and Kui Que immediately and without hesitation mounted her pale blue ribbon-shaped immortal treasure, ready to continue her escape towards the distant Xuanqi Sect. Even getting as close as possible would be helpful, as long as she could hold out until Miao Wu Xingjun arrived—
"Your death is near." Unexpectedly, Ye Yang's figure suddenly appeared in front of him. He had been hiding on the way Kui Que was escaping, waiting for her to come to him!
"What?!" Kui Que was shocked, because she had almost used up all her remaining immortal power reserves when she broke through Ye Yang's void blockade.
So much so that when they finally broke through the blockade, it wasn't as swift and decisive as the previous two times.
Fortunately, she saved a little bit at the end—it was truly the last tiny bit, meant to save her life in a critical moment.
"You're the one who should die!" Kui Que said crazedly, suddenly manipulating the light blue ribbon to sweep across.
Using the last bit of his immortal power reserve—
boom!
A huge crater was punched into the ground, but Ye Yang's figure, who was about to attack, vanished like a dream the moment the magical treasure swept over.
"Fake? An illusion?!"
Kui Que's face turned deathly pale.
Illusion magic is not just about directly using spiritual power to invade the opponent's mind; it can also affect matter, energy, and even spacetime to create a deceptively realistic illusion.
Because it does not invade the target's spirit, as long as one's understanding of the laws and all things in the world is deep enough, one can achieve a flawless result.
"You've reduced your strength. Are you using this magical treasure more sparingly? It doesn't seem like it. It appears you've truly used it all up."
Ye Yang's figure, seemingly both ethereal and real, stood quietly and silently beside Kui Que, smiling as if he were still the same friend with whom he could joke.
But to Kui Que, the voice sounded like the whisper of a demon.
"Ye Yang—Holy Son—I know I was wrong, please spare me. I'm willing to do anything. I can sacrifice my future to cover your identity. I am a follower of the Void, I have fallen, it was my fault. You are the good person. I will confess my sins, please don't kill me—"
Kui Que's voice trembled, and a pale blue ribbon wrapped around her entire body, showing how terrified she was.
When she had plenty of immortal power, she could have easily killed the young man in front of her, but now she can't!
When I wanted to kill it, I couldn't, and I couldn't even find it. I tried large-scale attacks, but they were just a waste of energy.
Now she can only rely on her own sixth-order magic power and the unrealized Great Dao to drive this immortal treasure, so the power she can exert is limited.
Can it really threaten this pervert?
Faced with Kui Que's "repentance," Ye Yang shook his head and calculated the time.
Subtracting the time spent in the void lockdown, 6 seconds have already passed, leaving less than 4 seconds remaining.
"I've always been a good person, do I need you to prove it?" he said softly.
The pale blue ribbon, now devoid of the power of high-quality immortal energy, can no longer display the might of the Star Lord's Path as before.
Even though Kui Que's sixth-order magic power could activate the immortal treasure to unleash attacks and defenses close to those of an ordinary true immortal, it was far inferior to Ye Yang's soul attack.
With a single move, Han Hai broke through the weak Star Lord's Path barrier on the pale blue ribbon and penetrated deep into Kui Que's Niwan Palace.
The chattering and noise abruptly stopped, and a female corpse with a blank expression fell straight to the ground.
Ye Yang's true figure gradually appeared from above.
"The Void Cult has caused immense harm. Seeing people join the Enlightenment Project and achieve great things, they now find themselves unable to return home."
He looked up at the sky and sighed, hovering in place, silently waiting for the arrival of the Mysterious Star Lord.
