Meanwhile, the two from Zu'an appeared a thousand miles away the next second. Unfortunately, the surroundings were still a vast expanse of white, and they had not yet left the range of the Great Snow Mountain.

The reason for teleporting thousands of miles in an instant is that, let alone for a terrestrial immortal, even for a grandmaster, dozens or even hundreds of miles is not a distance at all. They had just been fleeing and had already chased for nearly a thousand miles in a short time.

In fact, for a celestial being, even a thousand miles is not an obstacle. If one knows the direction and really wants to chase, it is basically impossible to escape from her grasp.

Zaun can only gamble, gambling that the other party doesn't know his exact direction, and the area within a thousand miles is too large, so they might not be able to find him in a short time.

Clearly, he won his gamble. The woman in white seemed to be wary of something, or perhaps unwilling to leave her territory, and did not pursue him.

However, the cost of Zaun is also extremely high. Normally, teleporting a dozen miles is bearable, but now, using a key to teleport thousands of miles directly will definitely result in annihilation.

Zuan understood this. Although he had condensed his divine soul to offset the negative backlash from using the key, leaping thousands of miles at once was something his divine soul could not withstand.

So he first used the Shattered Star Seal to forcibly increase his combat power tenfold in that instant. During this time, he traveled with Yun Jianyue and discussed the details of the Shattered Star Seal quite a bit.

Beginners can only increase their attack power tenfold, but those who truly reach a high level can increase their overall combat power tenfold in a short period of time.

However, Yun Jianyue also issued a stern warning that doing so would put a tremendous strain on the body, and even she dared not use it casually, because once she did, her body would be crippled if she didn't die. Therefore, she should never use it unless she was in a desperate situation.

However, Zu'an was different from ordinary people. His body had been tempered by the Primordial Chaos Scripture several times, and in some situations, it was even stronger than the giant dragons known for their physical strength. Even if he used this technique, he would still be seriously injured, but barely within his tolerance range.

In comparison, his soul was much more fragile, and the most direct backlash from using the key was to damage his soul.

When one is weak, there is no spiritual buffer, so the backlash from the key will directly affect the body. After having a spiritual soul, the reaction will first occur in the spiritual soul. Once the spiritual soul collapses, the body will also turn into nothingness.

These were all analyses that Mi Li had done with him during their time together, so calling him "Master" was truly worthwhile.

Therefore, he first used his body as a price to forcibly increase the strength of his soul tenfold with the Shattered Star Seal, and then used this soul to fight against the backlash from this technique.

Of course, he knew very well that even if his soul was strengthened tenfold, he would most likely not be able to withstand the backlash from this leap of a thousand miles.

So he used all the trump cards he had. Back when he was training as the Crown Prince in the academy's secret realm, he was only saved thanks to Xie Daoyun's lifeline.

Fu had just survived the attack from the emperor's divided soul. Before leaving the capital, Xie Daoyun, worried about the perilous situation in Yunzhong County, gave him another talisman offering a glimmer of hope.

She obtained this from her master, and it's said to be even more effective than the previous lifeline talisman.

I just didn't expect Zuan's strength to grow so quickly. Although we encountered various dangers in Yunzhong County, it wasn't to the point where we needed to use this.

The Lifeline Talisman is supposed to defend against enemy attacks, and Zuan wasn't sure if it would work against the backlash from Jian Lai, but since things had come to this point, he could only try it as a last resort.

In addition, he also threw all the remaining Jade Marrow Rejuvenation Pills that Doctor Ji had given him into his mouth. Besides that, he also ate the Lesser Rejuvenation Pills that Murong Qinghe had given him, the essence of the thousand-year-old blood toad that Sang Qian had given him, and all the other spiritual medicines he could think of.

Because he knew very well that when the backlash came, he wouldn't have time to take his medicine.

After doing all that, all that's left is to leave it to fate.

Yan Xuehen was, after all, a Grandmaster at her peak and the Abbot of Baiyujing, possessing considerable inner strength. After escaping the influence of the terrifying Snow Maiden, her expression gradually returned to normal, various magical treasures shone brightly on her body, and the ice and snow on her body gradually melted away.

She then realized that her clothes were disheveled, obviously because she had torn them off herself when she was delirious from the cold and had developed a false sense of warmth.

However, she had no time to pay attention to that right now, and instead looked at Zu'an with a worried expression: "Zu'an, you..."

She had seen Zuan use the key in the mines of Yunzhong County before, and she knew that every time he used it, there was a strong backlash.

Last time it only teleported about ten miles, but this time it went directly over a thousand miles?

She didn't even dare to think about the consequences.

Zuan smiled at her, but before he could say anything, he screamed and clutched his head, howling in agony. His skin began to crack, and blood seeped out, making him look extremely frightening.

In that instant, the lifeline talisman he was holding shattered, and the peacock feather that Kong Nanwu had given him burned to ashes.

He had no idea that the feather could have such an effect, and he didn't have time to think about it; at that moment, he just felt like his head was about to explode.

"Ah Zu!" Yan Xuehen didn't even have time to straighten her disheveled clothes before rushing to check on Zu An's condition. Her heart sank the moment she touched his body.

The state of his internal energy was beyond description; she had never seen such severe injuries in her entire life.

For anyone else, such injuries would have killed them on the spot.

But Zuan wasn't feeling well either; his skin was raw and painful.

His wounds cracked open, and blood flowed freely. Perhaps because he was cultivating the Primordial Chaos Scripture, the wounds gradually healed, but they would crack open again as soon as they healed. This cycle repeated itself, and eventually, the healing speed could not keep up with the cracking speed.
