Chapter 593: Chasing, Chasing, and Chasing
Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations
Faced with the Celestial Eradication Sword Formation before him, the First Prince did not even look at it and just sent an Overturned Hell coming down. The space within several li of the area was stretched out and distorted, and was about to overturn the sword formation.
On the other hand, Rona did not care about it as Fang Xingjian was unable to locate Rona's true form. Rona went around the Celestial Eradication Sword Formation and continued to chase Fang Xingjian's group.
However, the prowess of the Celestial Eradication Sword Formation was far beyond the First Prince's expectation. The four short swords unleashed a myriad of sword light explosively. It was as if there were four Fang Xingjians performing sword arts at the same time, clashing fiercely against the First Prince's Overturned Hell.
Amidst the world-shaking explosion, the palm from the Overturned Hell could not push down forcibly, and there was even the danger of it possibly being overcome by the force.
A hint of fury flashed in the First Prince's eyes, and he let out an explosive bellow. The clone that the Hell's White Bone Armor formed seemed to have swelled up, increasing its size abruptly by two times. He looked just like a towering mountain, performing the Yama Sacred Physique to an extreme level while exuding endless aura and pressure.
His other palm tore through the air and grabbed out, encompassed with layers of seemingly material martial will. In that instant, the explosive pressure from another Mortal World Reversal came pressing down. With the two attacks coming down together, the Celestial Eradication Sword Formation was instantly broken and stopped. However, the pause was only momentary, and the four short swords once again flashed with a brilliant glow. The sword intents within them had self-detonated.
Terrifying sword Qi impacts covered the area within 100 li. Everything was torn up, sliced through, or crushed. The First Prince's two Overturned Hell attacks were countered. However, when the sword Qi impacts collided against the Hell's White Bone Armor, they were like small ants trying to shake a huge tree, unable to push the First Prince back even a single step.
The Celestial Eradication Sword Formation was completely destroyed, and the four short swords that Fang Xingjian had gone through great effort to condense turned into nothingness. However, the First Prince was not happy in the least. It was because there were no more traces of Fang Xingjian to be seen, and even Rona had left to chase Fang Xingjian.
However, the Hades Ghost Dragons' speed was only slightly slower. After chasing for a distance of over 300 kilometers, they were quickly discovered by the First Prince in one glance amidst the vast Hades Vault.
'These nine Hades Ghost Dragons are all at the level of five tiers of perfection. So, they aren't bad. Since I don't know if I'll be able to catch up to Fang Xingjian, I might as well take these nine Hades Ghost Dragons into my possession.'
Therefore, he turned to face the nine Hades Ghost Dragons. After taking a few steps, he threw out an Overturned Hell toward them.
The nine Hades Ghost Dragon let out odd cries and instantly formed a strange but great formation, exuding an extremely mystical and mysterious aura. The nine huge dragons connected their heads and tails, forming a huge wheel that spun constantly in void space. It was as if they wanted to bring in all humans, living creatures, good and evil, human emotions, and wealth into this transmigration cycle.
"Transmigration! Transmigration! Transmigration!"
The entire void space was filled with the sounds of mysterious incantations. Right now, the nine Hades Ghost Dragons had taken on the Six Transmigration Formation, which the Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor had created. It was a great formation that was able to absorb all sorts of attacks into the formation and then sent them back. This was said to be the best defence formation in the Jade Dynasty.
The Overturned Hell attack was slapped into the formation with no way of returning, like a clay oxen that entered the sea. However, a moment later, an Overturned Hell attack, that was exactly the same as the one before, slapped back out toward the First Prince under his astonished gaze.
However, wearing the Hell's White Bone Armor, the First Prince did not bother dodging any kinds of attacks. Instead, he allowed the Overturned Hell to strike against his body and did not move a single inch. It was as if a light breeze had just brushed past his face.
Concurrently, the nine huge dragons roared furiously.
"What do you want?!"
"We're going after that guy who stole the Senluo Six Heavens Sword!"
"What is it to you?!"
"What is it to you?!"
"Too noisy!" The First Prince gave a cold snort and clenched his fists tightly together. As he stepped on void space, an extremely thick and black martial will rose from all over his body. It was as if he were a demon lord from hell. The First Prince took great strides toward the Six Transmigration Formation.
"The nine of you, pledge your allegiance to me right now." As he spoke, the First Prince struck out both of his fists, and it was as if the world had collapsed and hell had arrived.
"Otherwise, I'll crush your great formation, draw out your tendons, and skin all of you to make a good quality dragon armor."
In that instant, it was as if there were countless explosive thunders ringing out. The weather changed drastically, and the world seemed to be crumbling. Although the nine Hades Ghost Dragons continued to absorb the First Prince's attacks time and time again, the attacks that were thrown back at him were completely ineffective toward the Hell's White Bone Armor. On the contrary, under the repeated explosive blows, their bodies became tired and weak. Their vital energy and blood started to seethe, and it was as if their bodies were going to be totally crushed.
As both parties continued battling, they went further and further into the Hades Vault.
Concurrently, following the disappearance of the Senluo Six Heavens Sword, the black flames on the land in the middle of the Hades Vault continued to become increasingly active. They were contracting and relaxing, like a beating heart, while releasing extremely dangerous auras.
Without the Senluo Six Heavens Sword to hold everything down, the Hades Vault was going to collapse. This was also the reason why Fang Xingjian had sensed danger.
Elsewhere, Fang Xingjian and the group continued to move rapidly through the Hades Vault. With each step Fang Xingjian landed on void space, the air would explode and strong air currents would be formed. His speed completely exceeded 150 times that of supersonic speed. Under the pressures of the layers of air in the surroundings, he was tough as steel, continuing to release glaring red light under the incessant friction.
His entire body continued to withstand the extremely high pressure that came from the great speed. Each inhale and exhale he made allowed him to take in the endless amounts of energy from ether particles, heavenly thunders and terrestrial magnetism forces, rays from the stars, and many other types of energies in the world. They were absorbed into his ether organs and continued to replenish his depleted physical strength.
In the meantime, Fang Xingjian was dragging the Fourth Prince along behind him. The Fourth Prince felt like his bones were going to fall apart. If it was not because Fang Xingjian had blocked off majority of the atmospheric pressure and because the Fourth Prince himself also had the physical attributes of a Demigod, he would have been sliced into minced meat from the air pressure a long time ago.
However, despite the fact that they were moving at such an extreme speed, Rona continued to be on their tail. A myriad of flame clouds continued to give chase behind Fang Xingjian, even transforming into Rona's face while pursuing relentlessly.
"Fang Xingjian! You won't be able to escape!"
The world trembled, and circles of fire came down. However, with a single tap of Fang Xingjian's finger, they were then torn apart by sword Qis.
Despite this, Fang Xingjian was unable to attack Rona's actual body, and the power of the Hades Vault was endless. Therefore, he did not have any intention to stay behind and fight it out. He continued to accelerate and dash forth, continuing to dodge the attacks that were coming from everywhere.
Rona continued to give pursuit and did not even care about his own limits at this moment. He continued to recklessly absorb and condense the flame clouds and high temperatures from the surroundings. Even when he felt intense pain in his head and his consciousness' calculating abilities had reached a limit, he still did not stop. It was apparent that he was bent on killing Fang Xingjian.
The capabilities of the flaming giant that was chasing Fang Xingjian from behind became increasingly more powerful. Its prowess got stronger and stronger, and its speed grew faster and faster. The flame giant was just like a nuclear warhead that continuously became more powerful, exuding an increasingly scary aura from all over its body.
Concurrently, Fang Xingjian asked, "Fourth Prince, did the Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor leave anything behind in the Senluo Six Heavens Sword? Is there anything that can help us?"
