"Whoosh whoosh~"
High in the sky, two streaks of escape light, one red and one blue, crossed at astonishing speed.
In just a few blinks, they had already traveled dozens of miles.
Wherever they passed, the spiritual pressure of the nascent soul level swept out, shocking countless low-level cultivators.
"Rumble..."
As they flew, the figures within the streaks exchanged blows without pause, releasing waves of power at the fourth stage level. Every gesture and movement carried immense might.
"Nascent Soul True Lords!"
"I wonder who the two experts in those escape lights actually are?"
A foundation establishment cultivator looked up at the two streaks in the sky, and curiosity arose uncontrollably in his heart.
But before he could think further, he saw a ball of fire fall from the sky, landing right in the area where he was standing.
"Not good!"
That thought had just flashed through his mind when the firelight was already close at hand.
"Bang!!!"
The next moment, a deep pit over ten zhang wide appeared on the spot, orange-red flames raging wildly within it, with no sign of any person left inside.
Examples like this were countless along the way.
High in the sky, the battle between the two Nascent Soul True Lords had already reached a fever pitch, and they had long since had no time to restrain the aftershocks of the duel of magic.
Those low-level cultivators who were caught in the crossfire could only blame their bad luck if they died.
However, once one's cultivation reached the golden core realm, mere aftershocks of the duel of magic would not be enough to take one's life; at most, they would suffer some injuries.
From the perspective of a golden core master, the True Lord who had been fleeing in the red escape light was clearly at a disadvantage.
Inside the red escape light was a man in black fitted clothing, now drenched in sweat.
On his forehead, above his brows, was a lifelike flame tattoo, like a burning blaze. He looked to be a young man in his thirties.
"Faster, faster, faster!!!"
"So long as I can escape to the Yuan Yang Sect mountain gate, I'll be safe!"
"Damn it, I have to hold on!"
He manipulated his life-bound true treasure, transforming it into nine red fire dragons that charged toward the attacks behind him. Zhou Yunlong roared in his heart, sweat pouring down his face.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of years had passed, and this boy had grown from a handsome young boy into a young man.
His manner and temperament were quite weathered, yet his eyes were still bright and full of spirit.
His cultivation had also broken through from the golden core realm to the nascent soul early stage.
From the aura of his spiritual pressure, it seemed he had only broken through not long ago.
The reason Zhou Yunlong was able to form his nascent soul was because he had happened upon a good era.
Coincidentally, in the "Land of West Sand," a secret realm had emerged. By relying on the "holy flame sect" to seize control of it, he obtained two spiritual objects that aided the formation of the nascent soul.
His golden core quality had originally been quite high, and after cultivating to golden core pinnacle, with those two decent Conception Spirit Objects added on top, along with a bit of heaven-sent luck, he had actually barely broken through the yuan ying bottleneck.
Just as Zhou Yunlong had stabilized his realm and had not yet held his Nascent Soul celebration, another fairly large secret realm emerged at the border between the "Land of West Sand" and the "Chari Kingdom."
Having already tasted the sweetness of opportunity, and now understanding how important fate could be, he naturally was unwilling to miss such a chance. Without even holding his Nascent Soul celebration, he entered the secret realm to adventure and search for treasures.
Not long after entering, Zhou Yunlong was quite lucky and discovered a spiritual object, the "Fire Cloud Immortal Jade," which could improve his cultivation.
But when he tried to take it, he ran into the nascent soul early stage peak "Qianqing True Lord."
