Chapter 894: Luring the Enemy
“Senior, these Tuwo people have lost me by thousands of miles several times, yet each time they still manage to track me down. Could there really be some enhanced spiritual awareness cultivation technique stronger than the Great Yin Technique that allows detection from thousands of miles away?” Han Li asked with a pale, bloodless face.
At this moment, he was in the process of unsealing, transforming into an azure rainbow, speeding through the air like the wind and lightning.
Three consecutive unsealings, along with multiple uses of Blood Shadow Escape, had left Han Li’s body on the verge of collapse.
If it weren’t for forcibly suppressing the backlash of his cultivation techniques with several high-level secret arts, and swallowing more than ten drops of the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Nectar to replenish some of his essence and blood loss, he probably wouldn’t have lasted.
Even so, after finishing and lifting the seals, it would take at least two or three years before his magical power could return to its peak.
Of course, this was while he still had a large stockpile of pills. For other cultivators, being struck down a realm level would be very likely in such circumstances.
In this dire situation, he was still being hunted by a late nascent soul stage cultivator, so the danger was obvious.
Without understanding precisely how the enemy was tracking him, he couldn’t recklessly use Blood Shadow Escape again.
Otherwise, if he failed to shake off the pursuers, he might be left half destroyed himself.
“Hmph! Although I have great confidence in the Great Yin Technique for enhancing spiritual awareness, I wouldn’t dare claim it’s the best cultivation technique in the entire immortal cultivation world. There have always been some cultivators with better innate talent than I, from ancient times to now. It’s not rare for there to be cultivation techniques stronger than this spell formation! However, the fact that your pursuers are relentlessly close behind isn’t because someone thousands of miles away is locking onto you with spiritual awareness. It’s because you’re being targeted by something non-human,” the Great Yin Divine Lord snorted coldly, speaking bluntly.
“Non-human? You mean that demonic beast?” Han Li, suddenly enlightened, started to understand.
“Exactly. Don’t you find the demonic beast behind you very familiar? It looks almost identical to the Heavenly Wave Sacred Beast described by the Tuwo mortals. Most likely, those old bastards in the Sanctuary, not wanting to lose face after you killed so many upper-level immortal masters, deliberately summoned it down from the upper realms. It’s not uncommon for beings from outside the Human Realm to have magical abilities that can lock onto you,” the Great Yin Divine Lord explained thoughtfully.
“Heavenly Wave Sacred Beast? I have certainly noticed that beast. But its magical power fluctuations aren’t strong, only about seventh-level demonic beast caliber. It’s far inferior to the Mulan people’s sacred bird. Can it really have such magical abilities?” Han Li furrowed his brow, somewhat doubtful.
“Heh heh, I’ve also heard you talk about the battle with the Mulan people. The sacred bird they summoned was obviously a projection-like summon, borrowing part of the upper realm spiritual bird’s power using a magical treasure, manifesting a shape in this realm out of thin air. It was just an illusion. But the demonic beast behind you is real — I sensed it myself. If so, it’s likely the Heavenly Wave Beast has employed a magical ability similar to the ancient demon’s demonized body borrowing. It uses another demonic beast or a medium to let its fragmented spirit descend into this realm. Don’t underestimate this method — this is the true spirit clone descending. Its magical power level is no small matter. Given enough time, it will soon become the most terrifying existence in this realm. From what I know, there have already been several such descendances in this realm. But these existences seem to fear something and usually keep a low profile. It’s very difficult for ordinary cultivators to find them,” the Great Yin Divine Lord’s voice grew serious.
