Chapter 1957 - 1985: Pursuit
After hearing the Extreme Venerable’s words, the people of the Cangxuan Alliance showed madness in their eyes, filled with endless desire. They all wanted to obtain that Primordial Spirit, and everyone pushed their speed to the limit, flying toward the Primordial Spirit, while that Primordial Spirit rapidly fled through the Void, constantly dodging.
Although the Primordial Spirit didn’t possess any particularly powerful strength, once she started running, she was terrifyingly formidable. That fleeing speed, agility, and evasiveness were something none of the people present could compare to. Even the two in the deepest part of the Void—Green Lotus Sword Sect and that Extreme Venerable—had no confidence they could catch that Primordial Spirit.
"Stop!" Countless Martial Artists roared madly, chasing relentlessly behind the Primordial Spirit, wanting to seize her, but the Primordial Spirit kept dodging, leaving behind one after another afterimage in the Void.
She simply did not give them any chance at all; for a time, those Martial Artists couldn’t even touch the Primordial Spirit!
Shock appeared in everyone’s eyes; they had never expected the Primordial Spirit to be so hard to deal with.
In an instant, the scene became utterly chaotic. The people of the Zhan Clan, the Cangxuan Alliance, as well as the Martial Artists of Fierce Blade Sect and Holy Dragon Sect, were all chasing the Primordial Spirit. Everyone knew what it meant to obtain the Primordial Spirit.
If they managed to obtain the Primordial Spirit and let that Extreme Venerable devour and refine her, then the Extreme Venerable’s cultivation could be instantly restored; not only that, he could immediately break through at least one level of cultivation.
If that happened, the battle situation would be reversed in an instant. By then, even the Qinglian Ancestor would not be a match for the Extreme Venerable. Thinking of this, everyone went mad, while the two early-stage Great Saints in the second battle circle were still clashing nonstop with the Ancient Slaughter Flame Dragon, as well as the Green Lotus Sword Sect and Dead Spirit Clan’s battle array, unable to spare a hand.
In the first battle circle, the Qinglian Ancestor was also firmly locking down that Qinglian Ancestor; the Extreme Venerable likewise had no way to go seize that Primordial Spirit. His strength was originally not as great as the Qinglian Ancestor’s, so just resisting the Qinglian Ancestor already took all his effort.
The Primordial Spirit frantically fled, and at this moment, no one noticed that she was continuously drawing closer toward the center of Ye Feng’s great array. The crowd roared loudly as the sound of True Essence tearing through the air echoed incessantly in the Void.
"Huff, huff, huff~~" The Void shook, tossing up wave after wave of ripples, and madness emerged in everyone’s eyes.
The Primordial Spirit wore an expression of sheer terror, fleeing nonstop. From the sky, from the earth, from all directions, people lunged toward the Primordial Spirit, but she always managed to quickly evade them; no one could capture her at all.
"Seal heaven and earth!" The Cangxuan Saint Sect suddenly bellowed, then unleashed his own Domain, shrouding the Primordial Spirit within it. Afterward, everyone poured their True Essence into the Domain of the Cangxuan Saint Sect.
Within the Cangxuan Saint Sect’s Domain, a barrier gradually condensed. That barrier kept expanding, directly transforming into a cage, and then that cage began to contract, while the space the Primordial Spirit could use to evade grew smaller and smaller.
In less than ten breaths, the barrier cage had already contracted to a diameter of less than a thousand meters.
Then, the cage continued shrinking rapidly; before long, it was less than a hundred meters across.
At that moment, seeing that the Primordial Spirit no longer had any place to run, everyone thought that capturing her was already an easy task. Yet right then, the Primordial Spirit actually rushed straight toward the An Cage barrier, ramming into it. A cold sneer appeared in the Cangxuan Saint Sect’s eyes.
"This is a Domain cage condensed from my Domain. It can seal heaven and earth—how could it possibly be shattered by you?"
But just as he finished speaking, the Primordial Spirit’s body slammed into that cage barrier. Excitement burst into everyone’s eyes; they all felt that the Primordial Spirit was already about to be ensnared.
"Swish~~" In that instant, light flashed. The moment the Primordial Spirit charged onto the barrier, her body directly sank into it, then easily passed through, appearing outside the barrier in an instant.
"How is that possible!" Seeing this scene, everyone shouted in shock, while the smile on the Cangxuan Saint Sect’s face vanished in an instant. He had originally thought the Primordial Spirit was already in his grasp and that it was impossible for her to shatter his Domain cage.
But unexpectedly, the Primordial Spirit indeed couldn’t break his cage barrier, yet she passed through his Origin barrier and successfully escaped the cage. No one had imagined such a thing could happen.
Ye Feng, however, let out a cold laugh; he had already anticipated this scene. One had to know, the Primordial Spirit had the help of the Heavenly Dao, and she was most adept at escape. Relying solely on sealing heaven and earth was not enough to lock down the Primordial Spirit.
And while everyone was still dazed, the Primordial Spirit had already dashed rapidly toward the Sword Array Ye Feng had set up.
The distance between her and Ye Feng grew ever closer, and in no time at all she was less than a hundred meters from Ye Feng.
"What’s going on?" Seeing this, everyone felt astonished. The Primordial Spirit had actually run toward Ye Feng; they all wondered if the Primordial Spirit might end up falling into Ye Feng’s hands, then thought about it and felt it should be impossible.
The Primordial Spirit would absolutely not easily trust a human Martial Artist; this was nothing more than a coincidence.
Everyone stopped overthinking it and continued charging toward the Primordial Spirit, wanting to keep trying to capture her.
But just then, a Space-time Tunnel appeared in front of Ye Feng, and with a flash of light, an incredibly cute little boy appeared at Ye Feng’s side. That little boy was none other than the Primordial Spirit of the Heavenly Martial Continent—Xiaoqi!
Xiaoqi looked at the Primordial Spirit of the Divine Martial Continent and shouted loudly, "Big Sis, over here, run over here, it’s safe here!"
"Another Primordial Spirit!" Seeing Xiaoqi, everyone roared in shock.
But before they could calm themselves, the Primordial Spirit of the Divine Martial Continent flew straight into the Space-time Tunnel...
