Chapter 897: 897
“Senior, I’ve already shaken off these Soaring Tribes cultivators three times and left a large distance between them each time, but they were always soon to catch my trail . Could it be there is some spiritual sense strengthening technique that is beyond the Great Development Technique? How can they catch sight of me so far away?” Han Li asked, his complexion deathly pale from strain .
At that moment, Han Li had already lifted the Soullock Seal and was flying through the air in an azure streak . He had done this three times already to make use of the Bloodshadow Evasion Technique each time, bringing Han Li’s body to the brink of crisis .
If he wasn’t using several high-grade secret techniques to forcefully suppress his baleful Qi backlash and his use of a dozen drops of Myriad Spirit Milk to make up for the blood essence requirement of Bloodshadow Evasion, he feared he wouldn’t be able to press on .
And under such strain, he had already lost three years of his cultivation . If it weren’t for the many medicine pills he had taken, it was quite possible that he would’ve dropped to an entire level of cultivation .
With his body pushed to its limits and the late-Nascent Soul cultivators pursuing him, he found himself in dire crisis . But before he figured out how the Soaring Tribes Immortals were tracking him, he couldn’t rashly make use of the Bloodshadow Evasion Technique . Otherwise, he’d be ruining himself only for them to eventually track him down .
Monarch Soul Divergence coldly snorted and said, “Although I am completely confident in my Great Development Arts, I don’t dare to boast it as the number one spiritual sense technique in the cultivation world . There aren’t many who possess aptitude greater than mine, but they do exist . The possibility of them possessing a particularly powerful technique is miniscule .
However, those chasing you aren’t tracking you down through an immensely powerful spiritual sense . Instead, they are tracking you through inhuman means . ”
When Han Li heard this, he came to a sudden realization . “Inhuman means? You mean that demon beast?”
“That’s right . Didn’t you sense something similar to a demon beast behind you? Its appearance is exactly the same as what the Soaring Tribes mortal described of their patron god, the Endless Sky Beast . Those people from the Endless Sky Temples most likely summoned the beast to deliberately reclaim the face they lost from having their Nascent Soul Immortals killed by you . It isn’t odd for something not from this world to be able to track you down . ”
Han Li frowned and hesitantly asked, “The Endless Sky Beast? I’ve made note of it, but this particular beast only possessed magic power around the level of a grade seven demon beast, far inferior to the Moulan’s sacred bird . How can it possess such abilities?”
“Hehe, I’ve heard you speak of your continent's war against the Moulan and how they summoned a projection of their sacred bird with the assistance of a treasure . It merely possessed an illusory body and emerged in this world from nowhere . From what I sensed, the demon beast following you should have a genuine body . If that’s the case, the Endless Sky Beast seemed to use an ability similar to the Elder Devil’s possession through the use of some other beasts as a medium to bring itself into this world . Do not underestimate the abilities this incarnation possesses . If you give it enough time, it will grow into a fearsome existence . To the best of my knowledge, there are several other similar incarnations that descended into this world, but they are all fearsome to behold . And they are rarely ever seen by common cultivators . ”
“There are such kind of beings in our mortal world? However, there is no time for me to further discuss this matter with you . Regardless of whether this is a demon beast or a holy beast, does Senior have a method of escaping its pursuit? It will be greatly troublesome if the seal continues to be lifted . ” As Han Li swept his spiritual sense behind him, he spotted three cultivators and a demon beast in the distance behind him and grew apprehensive as a result .
Monarch Soul Divergence answered, “There are countless strange beasts in the upper realms . Who knows what kind of amazing abilities it is using to track you . Your Qi restraining abilities are quite to my satisfaction as well . It appears there are no good methods apart from slaying this beast . However, I can instruct you on a simple method of feigning death, capable of extinguishing all signs of life from your body, but I do not know how useful this will be . After all, the demon beast might not be tracking you down through your aura . ”
Han Li grew silent and then a cold glint flickered from his eyes . He fiercely said, “Fine, then I will kill this beast . ”
Monarch Soul Divergence said with alarm, “I fear you won’t have the opportunity to kill that beast . It is being accompanied by two Grand Immortals and that masked mid-Nascent Soul stage woman should be the Endless Sky Saintess . Her abilities shouldn’t be anything to underestimate either . ”
“If I don’t take the risk, there will be no opportunities . I will have to treat my second Nascent Soul as a disposable resource if I am to succeed . ” Han Li said with an icy tone .
Silvermoon then said, “Master, if you plan on doing that, I also wish to help you . ”
After hearing her, Han Li asked, “How are your injuries? Will you be able to persist in drawing their attention away as an artifact spirit?”
Silvermoon smiled and said, “I am the artifact spirit of Master’s magic treasure . No matter how severe my injuries may be, so long as Master’s flying swords aren’t destroyed, I will not die . Master doesn’t need to worry much on my behalf . At most, I will only remain asleep in Master’s magic treasure for a few years . ”
After some consideration, Han Li sighed and said, “Alright . Since our current situation is far from good, I will have to trouble you . ”
Afterwards, Han Li learned the incantation for feigning death from Monarch Soul Divergence . With that memorized, he then immediately placed his hand on the top of his head .
