Chi Yuan hovered in the void, his divine soul power spreading out, searching for Ye Chen's whereabouts.
"No?"
Chi Yuan's gaze narrowed slightly. Within the range of his divine soul detection, Ye Chen's aura had completely disappeared. It was likely that the Blood Demon Saint Ancestor had used some means to shield his aura, preventing Ye Chen from being detected by his divine soul.
"Damn it, we still couldn't kill him!"
The time for the ninth-tier Spirit Venerable experience card was almost up, and he could no longer continue the pursuit. Chi Yuan couldn't help but feel resentful. He hadn't expected Ye Chen to be so difficult to kill. Even using the power of a ninth-tier Spirit Venerable, he still couldn't kill him.
Furthermore, the strength of the Blood Demon Saint Ancestor far exceeded his expectations. He possessed the combat power of a ninth-level Spirit Venerable despite being merely a divine soul. He could hardly imagine how strong his peak strength would be.
Fortunately, he had already annihilated them here; otherwise, if he had no power to protect himself in the future, he would surely have suffered another fatal blow from Ye Chen.
"We are now close to the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains, and many powerful demons are lurking nearby. We must leave immediately."
Seeing that the time for the ninth-tier Spirit Venerable experience card was running out, Chi Yuan dared not linger any longer. He unleashed his spatial power and headed towards the outer edge of the Ten Thousand Mountains.
However, shortly after Chi Yuan left, two powerful demons who had transformed into human form appeared in this area.
Looking down at the enormous palm print hundreds of feet deep, and the funnel-shaped crater within a radius of dozens of miles, blasted away by the aftershocks, leaving only bare, yellowish-brown rock, the burly, blond man on the right, with his fierce and imposing appearance, frowned and coldly snorted, "These two human barbarian lords have ravaged our territory in a single battle; they are truly despicable!"
"Holy Lord, why don't you stop them? Countless races have been wiped out by them in this battle!"
Hearing the somewhat resentful tone of the blond giant, the old man known as the Holy Venerable, whose body was like a tree trunk, with green hair and green eyes, and whose withered face was covered with divine patterns, remained expressionless and said slowly, "My demon race has a pact with the human race, so it is inconvenient for us to participate in the struggle between the righteous and the demonic. Moreover, although this battle took place on my race's territory, that divine soul body was a demonic giant who had once caused a bloody massacre to my race and killed hundreds of my race's saints, the Blood Demon Holy Ancestor!"
“This scoundrel has a blood feud with my clan. I am unwilling to let it leave alive, but I am also worried that attacking this scoundrel will bring even greater disaster. That is why I let them fight here.”
"What?! Blood Demon Ancestor?!"
Upon hearing this name, the blond giant felt a fear that originated from the depths of his soul, and his face showed panic. He finally understood why the Holy Venerable did not intervene. He said with lingering fear, "Fortunately, that person killed this fiend, otherwise who knows how many of my clan's strongmen would have been sacrificed to make his demonic body."
The Holy Venerable Elder slowly nodded: "This person destroyed the Blood Demon Ancestor's soul, which can be considered as eliminating a great scourge for our clan. These casualties are nothing and need not be taken to heart. However, we must find and kill the host body that the Blood Demon Ancestor was inhabiting, so as not to leave any potential threat."
"We will obey His Majesty's decree!"
The blond giant said respectfully.
The Holy Venerable stopped speaking. He looked down at the shocking, massive crater, dozens of miles in circumference, and slowly raised his right hand, which was as withered as a tree branch. Instantly, a vast amount of earth-elemental spiritual power surged from his palm, spreading out in all directions.
"Azure falls!"
As the earth elemental energy spread, countless grains of sand and gravel floated into the sky from all the mountains destroyed and shattered in the battle between Chi Yuan and the Blood Demon Ancestor within a radius of a thousand miles. They gathered into giant azure peaks, which then crashed down and returned to their original positions.
"May all beings be born!"
With a flick of his wrist, the Venerable Elder transformed his spiritual energy into wood-type spiritual energy, which contained boundless vitality. In an instant, countless plants and trees sprouted from the soil, growing rapidly at a visible speed, completely covering the original earthen yellow surface and presenting a vibrant scene.
"Let's go back."
As if he had done something insignificant, the Holy Elder withdrew his hand without changing his expression, said something indifferently, and then disappeared from the spot.
...
The outskirts of the Ten Thousand Mountains.
A figure draped in a black robe appeared in mid-air; it was Chi Yuan.
At this moment, the time limit of the Ninth-Order Spirit Venerable Experience Card had expired, and Chi Yuan had returned to his original cultivation level. Many of the powerful abilities that he could easily use before were now only in his memory, with only some experiences and insights gained from using them remaining.
Even so, this is still very beneficial to Chi Yuan. For example, when he travels through space, his understanding of spatial power will allow him to glimpse some of the mysteries of the Dao of Space in advance. In addition, his experience in using the later levels of techniques and spiritual skills such as the Burning Heaven Refining Void Technique, the Great Evolution Overturning Heaven Palm, and the Dragon Elephant Suppressing Demon Force will make it easier for him to comprehend and master them in his future cultivation.
Chi Yuan wanted to take advantage of his current profound understanding to hone his skills in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, but he was unsure whether powerful demons would come after him, so he decided to return to the city to avoid trouble first.
Thinking to himself, Chi Yuan was about to fly towards Jingyang City. However, the moment he soared into the sky, a soul-tearing pain shot through his head, causing him to cry out in unbearable agony. He clutched his head tightly, his face beneath the mask contorted in agony.
After the excruciating pain, a strong sense of weakness came from his soul. Chi Yuan was as if he were drunk, his body swaying and floating in mid-air, feeling as if the world was about to turn upside down.
Without a doubt, this is a side effect of Chi Yuan being afflicted by the Nightmare Fallen God Curse. He had experienced a similar situation when he was previously afflicted by Yao Yanhong's curse, but the current situation is more than ten times more intense than before, and even the slightest movement feels like being subjected to the torture of being slowly sliced to death.
