How could he still be human?
If he is human, how did he achieve this?
After laughing heartily, Tan Yun...
If he is human, how did he achieve this?
After laughing heartily, Tan Yun thought to himself, “Changsun Han mentioned that the other disciples of the Elysium Sect have all gone to another Forbidden Area, the God Burial Flowing Fire Tower.”
“If I could lure these two beasts to the God Burial Flowing Fire Tower, that would be great.”
However, Tan Yun shook his head again, “No, that would inevitably harm the innocent. I can’t be that selfish.”
In the end, Tan Yun decided to lead the two beasts far away from the Ancient Fire Abyss before shaking them off.
Tan Yun was well aware that although he had increased his cultivation level, his ability to challenge those above his level had not improved much. Even if he used all his means, he might not be a match for the two beasts.
Moreover, there was no need for him to be in a life-and-death struggle with them, right?
With a firm decision in mind, Tan Yun performed the primordial divine step, deliberately slowing down slightly to keep a distance from the two beasts.
Time passed, and two months went by.
The two beasts were furious because every time they were about to catch up to that damned human, his speed would suddenly become slightly faster than theirs.
“Husband, could he be doing this on purpose?”
“It shouldn’t be. He knows that if we catch up to him, killing him would be effortless. Why would he dare to intentionally slow down? Besides, he has no reason to do so, right?”
“You’re right, husband, but I still feel we should be cautious; beware of tricks.”
As the couple of spiders communicated through their thoughts, they continued to pursue Tan Yun…
Time flew by, and Tan Yun had been fleeing for a full year and a half, with the couple of spiders still in hot pursuit.
“No, I can’t drag this out any longer. I must shake them off.”
A sense of urgency filled Tan Yun's heart as he realized the Ancestral Power Crystal in his hand had already dimmed. At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before his ancestral power was completely exhausted.
“Calculating the time, once I shake off these two beasts, even if they return to the Ancient Fire Abyss, they won’t run into Li Chen and the others.”
“This means they will be safe.”
Thinking of this, Tan Yun unleashed the vast ancestral emperor power of wind within him, pushing his speed to the limit as he began to use the primordial divine step!
As Tan Yun’s cultivation level rose, he was now able to move nearly twenty percent faster than the two beasts while fully employing the primordial divine step.
“Husband, it seems he wants to fly desperately to shake us off!”
“No matter what, we must stay close to him. As long as our beast consciousness locks onto him, when he becomes exhausted and slows down, that’s when we can kill him!”
The two beasts quickly came to an agreement and released their beast consciousness to lock onto Tan Yun.
Soon, four days passed.
Tan Yun, using the primordial divine step, suddenly felt his ancestral power within him become depleted, for the power in his Ancestral Power Crystal was almost exhausted.
After discarding the crystal, Tan Yun began to draw from the ancestral power within the spirit pool to continue using the primordial divine step…
In the blink of an eye, two more days went by.
Tan Yun was drenched in sweat, and only thirty percent of the ancestral power remained in the spirit pool.
With no other choice, Tan Yun began to summon the Supreme Ancestor Stones, devouring the ancestral power within them.
However, it pained Tan Yun that every time he used the primordial divine step, he had to consume one Supreme Ancestor Stone.
His heart ached at the loss.
Fortunately, after consuming a million Supreme Ancestor Stones, he suddenly smiled as the two lines of beast consciousness that had been surrounding him vanished.
The disappearance meant they had either lost track of him or had retracted their beast consciousness.
