“Primordial divine step!”
In the void, Tan Yun's figure flickered and disappeared, only to reappear two hundred and sixty zhang away.
“Before I advanced to the eighth layer realm, I could cross over two hundred zhang of void in the same amount of time, but now I can reach two hundred and sixty zhang. Indeed, my speed has increased by more than thirty percent.”
With Tan Yun's realm increasing, his flying speed had risen from a hundred and twenty thousand miles a day to one hundred and fifty thousand miles a day.
On the way to the Azure Spirit Immortal Mountain, Tan Yun specifically weaved through the sea of clouds. Due to his incredible speed, the clouds seemed to be sliced open like a sharp sword!
At the same time, Tan Yun released a spiritual sense comparable to the first layer of the refining soul realm, covering a radius of three hundred and eighty miles around him, meticulously checking to see if anyone was following him!
His enemies were increasing, and he had to be cautious!
The reason Tan Yun was dashing through the sea of clouds was to guard against anyone using the invisibility technique or the Invisibility Talisman to track him.
He carefully observed the movements of every white cloud...
"It seems I was overthinking." Just as Tan Yun breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly, his brow furrowed and his heart tightened, "Someone! Such speed!"
Through his spiritual sense, Tan Yun discovered that three hundred and eighty miles behind him, in the seemingly tranquil sea of clouds, there was clearly no one present, yet the clouds were rapidly swirling to the sides.
It was as if a ferocious beast was moving beneath the surface of the vast sea!
From the small span where the clouds were rolling back, Tan Yun deduced that the hidden enemy was not maneuvering a spirit vessel but was flying with sword control.
"Three hundred and eighty miles... three hundred and sixty miles... three hundred miles..."
Tan Yun didn't turn back; while flying discreetly, he monitored the incoming speed with his spiritual sense.
With Tan Yun's knowledge, he determined from the flying speed of the coming person that they were at least a cultivator of the fifth layer of the refining soul realm!
"Damn it, whether you are Pang Shiyuan or Lu Wu, today I won't let you leave unscathed!" Tan Yun thought darkly while maintaining a relaxed demeanor.
...
Activating the Invisibility Talisman, Jiang Xia, who was flying with sword control, locked onto Tan Yun using his powerful spiritual sense.
At this moment, he was filled with excitement!
He had previously witnessed the conflict between Tan Yun and elder three, Pang Shiyuan, clearly. In his view, if Tan Yun died today, almost everyone would believe it was Pang Shiyuan's doing...
A moment later.
"Eight miles... five miles... three miles... five hundred zhang..." While silently calculating the distance, Tan Yun suddenly saw a fiery, shocking blade of light erupt from the sea of clouds three hundred zhang behind him!
Where the fiery blade of light passed, the sea of clouds instantly revealed countless pitch-black spatial fissures, as if this void was about to collapse!
"You old fool, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
As the violent blade of light slashed toward Tan Yun, he suddenly shouted, turned, and waved his right arm. A Mid-Grade Talisman: Thunderstorm Nine Heavens Talisman instantly flew out from the Qiankun Ring!
"Kill!"
With a cold shout, Tan Yun infused a burst of spiritual power into the Thunderstorm Nine Heavens Talisman, which was instantly activated under Tan Yun's spiritual sense and shot toward the blade of light.
"Rumble!"
"Rumble!"
"..."
Suddenly, nine thunderous sounds that shook the heavens erupted from the Thunderstorm Nine Heavens Talisman, and then, facing the blade of light, the talisman vanished into thin air, transforming into nine dazzling bolts of thunder power!
Each bolt was about ten zhang thick and two hundred zhang long, interweaving and twisting as they violently struck the fiery blade of light!
