685: Chapter 686 The Myriad Immortals Sect, it seems it's time to make some moves.

And just then—

"Buzz—!!!"

The majestic repulsive force of the entire Heavenly Desolation Secret Realm finally reached its breaking point and erupted with a bang!

The huge, unstable phantom of the light gate ahead suddenly shrank inward, then spewed out an endless, all-consuming brilliant white light!

A spatial torrent as vast as the sea, carrying the rules and will of the entire Secret Realm, swept across the stone platform with an unstoppable force.

The Secret Realm had officially opened! The final escape window was now open!

Run!"

Xiao Ruobai gave a low shout, which exploded in the ears of Fang Hanyu and the others like a clap of thunder!

Cant Catch Me!

The five people, who were already prepared, held nothing back at this moment, pushing their speed to the absolute limit!

Their figures suddenly blurred, merging into the silver-white tide of light violently expanding from the Secret Realm.

"Swoosh—!"

The five figures rushed out of the Secret Realm as streaks of light so fast they were difficult for the naked eye to catch.

"What?!"

"How is that possible?!"

This time, even the several Immortal Kings couldn't help but let out low exclamations of surprise.

Purple light flashed in Immortal King Zhenyue's eyes. He clearly felt that his suppression and blockade, which should have been foolproof, seemed to slide off a smooth mirror the moment it touched those streaks of light, failing to actually bind them!

"What kind of movement technique is this!" Immortal King Zhenyue was both shocked and enraged, but he didn't have time to think about it now.

Because the silver-white torrent of the Secret Realm's repulsion had fully erupted, completely flooding the area!

"Thinking of escaping?! In your dreams!"

Immortal King Zhenyue roared, transforming into purple lightning and breaking through the tide of light to give chase! He would never allow these people to slip away from under his nose with the prince and the treasures!

"dao-embodying mysterious crystal!"

Immortal King Tianluo moved almost at the same instant Xiao Ruobai and the others did. His eyes were fixed only on the potential supreme treasure. He transformed into a blazing fire and, similarly ignoring the spatial repulsion, boldly gave chase!

To hell with the Ziji Immortal Dynasty or who arrived first; in the face of an Opportunity for attaining the Dao, everything else was bullshit!

"Interesting... these juniors have quite a few secrets on them."

Immortal King Guiwu gave a sinister laugh, his figure turning into a wisp of almost invisible gray mist that merged into the spatial turbulence, silently following them.

Immortal King Jian Chenzi and Immortal King Yunyao exchanged a glance. Though not as urgent as Tianluo, their figures also flickered as they each displayed their Divine Abilities, trailing behind at a steady pace.

In an instant, several terrifying auras representing the top combat power of the Immortal Realm, like sharks smelling blood, tore through the silver-white sea of light together, chasing rapidly in the direction Xiao Ruobai and the others had fled!

"Buzz—!"

The dizzying sensation faded, and the feeling of solid ground returned beneath their feet.

Almost the moment they landed, Xiao Ruobai and the others didn't even have time to observe their surroundings before they unhesitatingly pushed their prepared speed to the limit!

The Cant Catch Me movement technique was fully activated!

The five figures flitted through this valley deep in the Heavenly Desolation Mountains like ghosts, moving so fast they left faint afterimages in their wake.

The Cultivators of various major forces who were waiting outside the valley to receive their Disciples only saw a blur before several vague figures had already rushed hundreds of feet away, speeding into the distance.

"Cough, cough..."

In Wang Xiaopang's arms, Dong Li, having swallowed a Medicinal Pill, barely regained a sliver of clarity. The pill protected its nearly shattered demon core.

"To the west..."

It used all its strength to transmit its voice, its crimson eyes staring fixedly at the five terrifying streaks of light drawing closer from behind.

"The terrain there is complex, with remnants of an ancient maze formation..."

It was a Heart-Moon Fox, after all; its understanding of the Heavenly Desolation Mountains far exceeded that of ordinary people.

Before being chased into the Secret Realm, it had sensed the special fluctuations of that area from a distance.

"Why the hell did you risk your life like that?!"

Wang Xiaopang shouted while sprinting, his voice breaking in the high speed.

"Burning your Origin?! Blocking a palm from an Immortal King?! Are you stupid?! Look at the pathetic state we're in being chased now! Even the loot is exposed!"

Dong Li was stunned by the shouting, and then, overcome with anger, it spat out another mouthful of blood:

"I... I fucking did it to save you bastards, didn't I?! Who knew what your Physical Bodies were made of?!

Taking two hits from an Immortal King and being fine?! Cough... if I'd known you were so tough, your Grandpa Fox would have been the first to run!"

"Don't get distracted!" Xiao Ruobai's calm voice cut in, still clear despite the howling wind.

The group didn't hesitate for a second, their direction shifting slightly as they shot like an arrow toward the misty mountain range with ancient trees to the west.

However, as fast as they were, their pursuers were not slow either!

Just three breaths later—

"Juniors! Stay right there!"

Immortal King Zhenyue's cold, furious roar rolled across the sky like thunder!

A brilliant purple streak of light, with an equally terrifying speed, tore through the clouds and followed closely!

Wherever he passed, space was brutally pushed aside, forming a visible purple airwave channel with overwhelming power.

Following closely behind Immortal King Zhenyue were the four equally fast streaks of light belonging to Immortal King Tianluo, Immortal King Guiwu, Jian Chenzi, and Immortal King Yunyao, in hot pursuit!

Ten streaks of light, like ten meteors shooting in reverse, staged a high-speed race in the vast sky of the Immortal Realm that made countless Cultivators look up in horror!

Fast! Fast to the extreme!

The light streaks formed by Xiao Ruobai's group had erratic trajectories, sometimes scattering like flower petals in the wind and sometimes gathering like a sharp sword piercing the sky, but their speed always maintained a jaw-dropping Peak.

"Damn it! What kind of movement technique is this?!" Fire light flickered in Immortal King Tianluo's eyes, filled with disbelief.

As an Immortal King, even after fully activating his secret escape art, he was unable to close the distance with those few Heavenly Immortal juniors ahead!

Immortal King Zhenyue's expression was the grimmest. His speed was the fastest among the five, and his cultivation at the Peak of the Middle Stage of the Immortal King Realm allowed him to close the distance bit by bit, extremely slowly. However, every time he got close enough to launch a powerful attack—

The trajectories of the light streaks ahead would suddenly undergo a bizarre change!

Whether it was a right-angle turn without warning, a sudden burst of speed where it seemed impossible, or a sharp dive into the complex mountain range to briefly disrupt his line of sight using the terrain...

They always managed to pull the distance back to a safe margin at the critical moment.

He couldn't catch them! He really couldn't catch them!

At least in terms of pure linear speed, these Immortal Kings were actually unable to crush these juniors of the Heavenly Immortal Realm! This simply subverted common sense!

"Attack! Interfere with them! Don't let them maintain their maximum speed!" Immortal King Zhenyue shouted harshly, his hands forming seals as he pointed from afar.

"Ziji Void-Cleaving Slash!"

A hundred-foot-long, condensed purple blade glow ignored the spatial distance and instantly appeared behind Xiao Ruobai's group, carrying the power to cleave the heavens as it slashed horizontally!

Xiao Ruobai and the others were like birds weaving through a hail of bullets. Relying on the Cant Catch Me movement technique's extreme perception of danger and micro-manipulation, they avoided the attack in the nick of time.

They couldn't shake off the Immortal Kings, and the Immortal Kings couldn't catch them.

A marathon-like pursuit across the Immortal Realm, a contest of speed, endurance, will, and adaptability, thus unfolded.

On Zizhu Peak, Gu Changge's finger tapped lightly, then suddenly stopped. As if sensing something, a playful smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Heh, that's more like it."

With a slight thought, an image appeared out of thin air and was instantly transmitted into the Small World.

"Go take a look. Unless it's a life-or-death moment, there's no need to intervene."

Inside the Small World, Xiao Hei suddenly opened his eyes.

The aura of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor surged for an instant. The terrifying pressure made the entire world tremble before it slowly receded.

Immortal Realm, Myriad Immortals Sect.

Clouds and mist swirled, and Immortal Qi was dense, presenting a state of transcendence from the world.

Inside the Sect Master's hall, Ji Mie sat in the main seat. Immortal Qi flowed around him, and his aura was as deep as an abyss. A terrifying pressure lingered around him, yet it was always restrained, leaving only a sense of gentleness.

Suddenly, his brow furrowed slightly, and his finger paused. He seemed to have captured a wisp of an extremely weak yet incredibly familiar aura that had crossed an endless distance.

Ji Mie slowly opened his eyes, his gaze seemingly penetrating the hall.

It landed on the pursuit taking place in a distant land, and more precisely, on those five figures fleeing for their lives.

A low murmur echoed quietly in the empty hall, which only he could hear.

"How dare they hunt down the Disciples of the Honored One. Myriad Immortals Sect, it seems it's time to get moving."
