This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered-Chapter 872 - 675: Life-and-Death Sprint
On the Abyss Continent, several Ninth Realm peak cultivators carefully explored a barren mountain before they rode their tunneling light away.
Yet, just half an incense stick's time after the light departed, the same figures emerged from the Void above the barren mountain, looking at the mountain that still appeared to be unremarkable, only then did they leave with ease.
"Whew... that was close..."
Sure it was truly safe this time, within a stone cave inside the barren mountain, a pair of clear eyes opened slowly amidst the array, filled with relief in their gaze.
Liang Yi, leaving the cave, packed up the array and hurriedly changed his position.
"Hmm... half a month, I've almost figured out all the forces on the Abyss side now and part of their plans."
Liang Yi pondered his next moves while looking at the jade tube in his hand.
Since stepping out from the Abyss Gate, Liang Yi had been hiding on the Abyss Continent for more than half a month, constantly evading or preparing to evade.
During these half-months, Liang Yi's whereabouts were discovered at least seven times, but he managed each time to turn the danger into safety by using various Spiritual Treasures from his Storage Ring to escape.
However, these exposures brought Liang Yi considerable harm, and the treasures gifted by various Super Forces were almost used up.
While battling alone against three other epoch Ninth Realm Great Perfection Abyss cultivators and Xia Kun, Liang Yi used the Blood Sea Jade Pendant from the Blood Control Sect unexpectedly, trapping the three Abyss cultivators and exerted all his efforts to repel Xia Kun, allowing him to escape.
The star sea formation of the Complete Heaven Sect was used by Liang Yi when he was surrounded by numerous Abyss Army, with no escape from the heaven and earth net, he then deployed the Star Sea Array.
Thousands of stars fell from the Nine Heavens, their might was terrifying, even frightening Liang Yi himself. If not for Qiu Feng and others intervening in time, half of the Abyss Continent might have been smashed flat, and Liang Yi took advantage of the chaos to flee.
The Netherworld Jade Cicada of the Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty helped Liang Yi block the fatal strike of Zuo Yongning lurking in the shadows; the Jade Pendant from his junior sister helped him severely wound several other epoch Ninth Realm Great Perfection cultivators, granting him leisure for a few days; Zen's Desires-free Calm Lotus saved Liang Yi from Gongsun Bai'an's Blood Moon Illusion Realm while he was careless.
The most severe time, if not for Liang Yi swiftly ingesting the Jade Flowing Cloud Pill from the Medicine Valley, he might have already been chatting and laughing with Yama, counting his life's deeds.
Now, only the Avoidance Heaven Senluo Robe from Senluo Wanxiang Sect remained untarnished, worn on Liang Yi, preventing him from being calculated out by powerful beings for his location according to the Heavenly Mechanism.
But after half a month, Gongsun Bai'an and others also roughly gauged Liang Yi's objectives, the encirclement gradually constricted, they were close to pinpointing Liang Yi's location.
"The intelligence is mostly clear now, except for places like where Gongsun Bai'an and others reside that haven't been visited..." Liang Yi secretly pondered.
Yet, this remaining bit of intelligence isn't vital, after all, those Abyss Envoys are tough adversaries, such formidable foes can only be dealt with by him and his master, and they hold little significance for other cultivators.
What gave Liang Yi some trouble was, inside the Abyss Continent, Abyss Envoys such as Gongsun Bai'an and Qiu Feng had their powers greatly enhanced by the Abyss Power, each achieving a half-step Tenth Realm. In a one-on-one, Liang Yi might still have a chance, but he scarcely had the opportunity for one-on-one.
Moreover, these few were almost considered avatars of the Abyss Will, once discovered by them, the Abyss Will could also find him.
Therefore, unless forced by necessity, Liang Yi had been fleeing upon seeing them these past half-months, even then he was cornered once or twice, narrowly escaping death.
"Hmm?"
Liang Yi suddenly sensed something, raising his head sharply, looking towards the extreme south of the Abyss Continent.
A surge of pure Qi appeared suddenly as if originating from outside the world, falling into the dormant Abyss Gate at the instant when no one reacted.
Pure Qi spread, covering the entire Abyss Gate, masses of pure Qi spun, and the Abyss Gate reopened! Except this time, it seemed to be led by the Mystic Mechanism Heavenly Dao, thus the Abyss Gate had completely transformed into the Mystical Mechanism Gate!
"The Abyss Gate... reopened?"
Liang Yi was stunned for a moment, but his expression immediately changed, as he realized it, he dashed straight towards the Abyss Gate! He didn't even bother hiding his figure anymore.
The extreme Sword Intent enveloped Liang Yi's entire body, the talisman paper in Liang Yi's hand slowly dissipated, it was a Sword Talisman from Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool, containing the Sword Intent of the entire Heavenly Pool!
Besides that, Liang Yi's Disruption Domain erupted open! Any cultivator blocking his way was forcibly rammed aside in the most brutish, most unreasonable manner! As for their fate, whether alive or dead, Liang Yi, with a cold and indifferent look, completely paid no heed.
The Abyss Gate reopened, seemingly unlikely to close again temporarily, so this was now a race for Liang Yi against the Abyss cultivators.
Once the other side seized the Abyss Gate ahead of Liang Yi, they'd surely abandon the search and encircle all cultivators near the Abyss Gate, completely chocking Liang Yi's source of vitality.
However, if Liang Yi reached the Abyss Gate first, he could seize his source of vitality, escape to safety, and bring the intelligence back to the Mystical Mechanism!
Upon seeing the Abyss Gate open, Qiu Feng, Gongsun Bai'an, and the still simmering with fury, Zuo Yongning, and Xia Kun, searching all over the continent, instantly realized this point.
The four transformed into tunneling light in unison, tearing through space with absolute speed, charging towards the Abyss Gate! Vowing to stop Liang Yi before he entered!
Five streaks of tunneling light illuminated the Heavenly Vault! Qiu Feng and others immediately noticed Liang Yi flying swiftly ahead of them!
Dark clouds surged in the sky, a sinister and strange aura emerging from above!
Under the self-detonation of his energy, even the Avoiding Heaven Senluo Garb couldn't shield Liang Yi from the scrutiny of the Abyss Will!
Sensing the gathering power of the Great Dao in the sky, the world seemed to tremble at this moment. A pair of eyes quietly opened, with pupils reflecting the entire world, naturally including Liang Yi.
The World Origin surged, and immense force swept towards Liang Yi from all directions.
The Abyss Will struck fiercely!
The wind halted, the water stopped, and startled birds paused mid-flight! Except for Gongsun Bai'an and his group, the world seemed to press the pause button at this moment!
Static Law!
Liang Yi, rushing towards the Abyss Gate, suddenly halted, unable to move further in mid-air.
Behind him, Gongsun Bai'an's expression brightened, as the blood moonlight behind him illuminated, disregarding space and directly shining on Liang Yi!
"Tsk!"
Liang Yi glanced back at the few like maggots on the bone, a cold gleam passing through his eyes.
The right foot caught by the blood moonlight revealed clusters of red crystals, which, after encasing Liang Yi's right foot, began to spread along his right leg up his body!
The blood-red crystals seemed rooted in the void; no matter how Liang Yi struggled, he couldn't move an inch.
A glimmer of joy flashed in the eyes of Qiu Feng, Xia Kun, and Zuo Yongning beside Gongsun Bai'an, as the Abyss Demon Qi exploded, the domain expanded, and the power of the rules swept towards Liang Yi!
With a formless yet howling Abyss Wind, a vicious punch like a world-flipping force, and a ghostly fog of wailing ghosts that covered the sky!
The trio held nothing back; this strike was their full strength! Even Chen Hua wouldn't dare to take it head-on!
The Sword Intent of the Heavenly Pool around Liang Yi was still struggling to resist the blood moonlight from Gongsun Bai'an, managing to block one, but there was no way to fend off the four attacking together!
Moreover, Liang Yi was still under the Static Law of the Abyss Will, unable to move at all!
"Disruption..."
Just as the fingertip of the grotesque ghost in Liang Yi's pupils almost touched him, he finally broke a thread of freedom from the Abyss Will's restraints, barely unleashing his Disruption Domain!
The domain opened, and the Power of Disruption swept over everything mercilessly!
The blood-red crystals almost encasing Liang Yi's lower body turned to dust in an instant. The sweeping force of Disruption obliterated the Static Law of the Abyss Will in the Disruption Domain!
Next were the countless grotesque, roaring ghosts approaching. One second they were howling, and the next, they disappeared with the black fog in front of Liang Yi.
The Abyss Wind that could wither everything and bring all to an end also vanished silently, leaving only Xia Kun's most primal force in existence!
Liang Yi drew Yuan Zhou directly to face the blow!
"Puff!"
A bloody flavor filled his mouth, as Liang Yi spat out a mist of blood and was blown backward.
Even though the Disruption Domain dispelled the onslaught of Zuo Yongning and Qiu Feng, Gongsun Bai'an's attack landed solidly on Liang Yi before Xia Kun's.
If not for the timely activation of the Disruption Domain, Liang Yi might have turned into a lifeless crystalline statue under that blood moonlight!
"Damn it!"
Gongsun Bai'an and his companions were furious, how could he escape?
"His Disruption Domain is too unbeatable, don't give him a breath!"
A fierce gleam flashed in Qiu Feng's eyes, and with a wave of his hand, several towering hurricanes formed, howling and crashing towards Liang Yi!
Even the Abyss Will above couldn't withstand the subtlety at the moment of the Disruption Domain activation. Before it could launch a second attack, its eye in the sky suddenly froze, sensing an incoming disturbance!
Glancing at Liang Yi, who spewed blood and flew backward, the Abyss Will had to temporarily retreat to defend against the attack from the Mystic Mechanism Heavenly Dao!
