150: Chapter 149 Azure Sea Tide Sword

That sound was not an ordinary roar, but one containing a kind of indescribable great power, as if a giant beast that had been sleeping for ten thousand years had finally awakened, letting out its first growl!

The five of them turned their heads simultaneously, looking toward where the sound came from.

Thirty miles away, in the direction of that palace—

A brilliant light was shooting straight into the sky!

The light was five-colored—gold, azure, blue, red, and yellow—complete with the Five Elements, intertwining and wrapping around each other, like a massive five-colored light sword piercing through the grey-white sky of this Small World!

Within that light, an aura was climbing.

That aura was so strong, so intense, and so domineering that the five of them, even thirty miles away, felt a sense of suffocation!

Primal Form Realm Perfection.

Dragon Fetus Realm Early Stage.

Dragon Fetus Realm Middle Stage.

Dragon Fetus Realm Late Stage—

The climb of the aura came to an abrupt halt at the Dragon Fetus Realm Late Stage.

But that coercion, that suppression stemming from the essence of life, had already turned Bai Su's face pale, brought sweat to Meng Xinghe's forehead, and even caused the fierce aura of Liu Yan to dim by three parts.

Jiang Hanzhou stared fixedly at that five-colored pillar of light, his pupils contracting to the size of needles.

He sensed it.

Within that aura, there was something familiar—

Five Elements True Intent.

Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth.

It was exactly the same as the Dragon Slaying True Person from the three memory fragments he had absorbed.

Just at this moment.

At the center of the five people's brows, a faint golden mark appeared simultaneously.

That mark flashed and vanished, so fast that it almost made one think it was an illusion.

But all five of them had seen it.

Everyone had seen that fleeting, pale golden mark on the others' brows.

"This is..."

Teng Yuzhi raised her hand to touch her brow, and for the first time, a look of horror appeared on her cold, clear face.

Jiang Hanzhou felt a chill shoot from his spine straight to his crown.

He understood.

He understood everything.

"Nutrients," he murmured in a hoarse voice, "we are all nutrients."

"Those who have absorbed memory fragments will all be marked by that thing."

"No matter where we flee, no matter how deeply we hide—"

"He can find us."

Meng Xinghe's face was as pale as paper.

Bai Su was trembling all over, her lips quivering so much she couldn't speak.

Liu Yan clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white, as that fierce, crimson True Qi surged crazily around him, yet he did not know where to unleash it.

"W-what do we do?" Bai Su finally spoke, her voice trembling, "What are we going to do?"

Teng Yuzhi took a deep breath.

She closed her eyes, then opened them again.

The horror in her eyes had faded for the most part, replaced by extreme calmness.

"Do not panic."

Her voice was not loud, one could even say it was very soft, yet it was like cold water poured over them, causing Bai Su's trembling body to steady slightly.

"Get out first," Teng Yuzhi said, "get out and report the situation."

As she spoke, she reached her right hand into her robes.

When she withdrew it, there was an object in her palm.

It was a Talisman folded into a square, roughly the size of an infant's palm, pale green in its entirety, with fine silver runes flowing across its surface; every single pattern seemed like a living creature, slowly moving under the grey-white light of the ice field.

Talisman Treasure.

"Given by my aunt," Teng Yuzhi said briefly, "it seals one strike of the 'Green Sea Tide Rising Sword' from a Bibo Pool Grand Elder."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and threw it.

The moment the Talisman left her hand, it suddenly erupted with brilliant azure light!

Within the light, a Sword Intent shot into the sky!

That Sword Intent was so strong, so pure, and so sharp that the ice surface within a hundred-foot radius shattered simultaneously!

A sword light slashed out from the Talisman.

The sword light was a deep azure, like the color of the deepest part of the sea; the sword body was slender, and at the blade's edge, countless fine, hair-like rune patterns flowed.

Green Sea Tide Rising Sword.

The sword light slashed down.

It slashed into the Void Realm.

"Shhh-la—!"

A harsh tearing sound rang out!

The Void Realm was actually ripped open by this sword, creating a fissure!

The fissure was an irregular, narrow shape, about a zhang long and three feet wide, with lightning flashing and thunder rumbling at its edges, and fierce winds howling; one could vaguely see the deep blue seawater beyond the fissure—

That was the East Sea.

That was the sea area from which they came.

"Quick!"

Teng Yuzhi shouted sharply, her figure already darting toward that spatial fissure!

Jiang Hanzhou did not hesitate.

He followed closely behind, rushing toward the fissure!

Meng Xinghe, Bai Su, and Liu Yan also exerted all their strength, sprinting toward the fissure that was slowly closing!

Just at this moment—

A sword light, from the direction of the palace thirty miles away, arrived suddenly!

That sword light was so fast, it was indescribable.

Clearly thirty miles away, yet in a single instant, it had crossed the distance!

The sword light was five-colored, the Five Elements True Intent intertwined and wrapped around it, containing the Dragon Slaying True Person's intent to kill!

"Quick!!!"

Teng Yuzhi screamed sharply, her figure already rushing into the fissure!

Jiang Hanzhou followed closely behind, and in the instant before the sword light reached him, he rushed into the fissure in a dangerously close call!

Meng Xinghe, Bai Su, and Liu Yan also rushed in one after another!

The last one to rush in was Liu Yan.

His back, at the moment the sword light reached him, had a piece of flesh sliced off!

Fresh blood gushed out, splashing onto the edge of the fissure.

But in the end, he rushed in.

The moment the five of them fell into the fissure, a soft "Yi" sound came from behind them.

The sound was extremely light, yet it clearly entered everyone's ears.

Carrying a trace of surprise.

Carrying a trace of unexpectedness.

Carrying a trace of—

Playfulness.

Then, the fissure closed.

Everything returned to darkness.
