Chapter 579: A Temporary Measure
The sea is vast, allowing fish to leap, and the sky is high, allowing birds to fly!
“It's time to go,” Liu Yu thought to himself as he activated the black wind wings, continuing to fly northeast.
He had not forgotten that a large group of demonic cultivators was following him, and he was still not out of danger.
It was too early to celebrate.
After traversing the dim space of the ten thousand beast formation for five or six hundred miles, the scenery ahead became vibrant again, with bright sunshine and gentle breezes.
Everything was so vivid and clear!
“Whoosh, whoosh.”
As Liu Yu fled forty miles away, a large mass of “black clouds” surged from the gray-black barrier.
Amid the rolling demonic aura of the black clouds, the faint auras of demonic cultivators became intermittently visible.
In terms of spiritual perception, there were at least twenty to thirty of them, and more demonic cultivators were rushing over.
However, the effect of “wither” had not yet faded; they could only watch helplessly as Liu Yu pulled away, increasing the distance bit by bit.
“Whoosh, whoosh.”
With a flap of the black wind wings, Liu Yu swiftly traversed under the sunlight, his shadow barely visible to the naked eye.
Looking back at the group of demonic cultivators who had just emerged from the gray-black barrier several dozen miles away, a cold smile reappeared on his bloodstained face.
“Not good.”
Upon seeing this familiar smile, some demonic cultivators couldn't help but feel an ominous premonition rising in their hearts.
“We're already this far apart; that person's strange divine ability shouldn't work anymore, right?!”
At a distance of forty miles, some demonic cultivators thought with a hint of luck.
But before their thoughts could settle, a faint azure light flashed over from four to five dozen miles away.
Then, once again, there was a familiar weakening.
“Damn it!”
“What kind of strange divine ability is this?!”
Many demonic cultivators felt extremely frustrated as they had no way to counter the divine ability “wither,” and they could only roar angrily in helplessness.
Some of them had already tested it; it was indeed just an ordinary azure light.
But even if they blocked the azure light, the strange divine ability would still take effect, which was truly too shameless!
Moreover, the effect did not weaken even at a distance of several dozen miles; it was too domineering!
“…”
Forty miles away, Liu Yu struck out with his palm, releasing azure light once again.
To be on the safe side, he decided to use “wither” one more time before leaving.
This would lower the escape speed of some demonic cultivators, allowing him to maintain an advantage in speed.
After all, his life-bound divine ability consumed very little magical power, and it was one of the most important, most common methods for cultivators.
In the ten thousand beast formation, Liu Yu had frequently used it without consuming much magical power.
With a palm strike, Liu Yu's smile faded, and he returned to an expressionless state, continuing to rush into the distance without saying a word.
After the Royal Court of the Demonic Race established a blockade line, over half of the third-order demonic cultivators and their clans were stationed there to guard and survive.
Thus, compared to ordinary regions, the density of demonic cultivators on the blockade line was much higher, similar to the sects of the Human Race.
In the vast area between the two blockade lines, the density was relatively low.
Due to resource limitations, a third-order demonic cultivator clan would often only exist hundreds or even thousands of miles apart.
Similar to the Golden Core Families of the Chu State and the small to medium-sized forces under the five great sects.
However sparse the distribution of third-order demonic cultivators might be, it wasn’t too far from the speed of third-order escape.
If Liu Yu was not careful, he could still be surrounded and pursued.
Fearing that the fourth-order shape-shifting demonic cultivators had already received news and were on their way, along with the demonic cultivators inside and outside the formation coordinating to form a pincer attack, he continued to maintain his full-speed escape after leaving the ten thousand beast formation.
