686: Chapter 687 Ancient Maze

At this moment, outside the Tianhuang Secret Realm.

"Buzz—!" "Buzz—!"

One figure after another was expelled from the Secret Realm's light gate, which had not yet completely dissipated, landing in the valley.

The experts from various factions waiting outside immediately gathered around.

"What happened inside?!"

"Who were those Immortal Kings chasing just now?"

The Cultivators who came out were still in shock, chattering away about what they had seen in the Secret Realm.

When everyone realized what had happened in the Secret Realm, especially the appearance of the dao-embodying mysterious crystal, no one could restrain themselves any longer.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

One figure after another soared into the sky, turning into various colored light streams, frantically chasing in the direction Xiao Ruobai and the others had fled!

"Oh my god, why are there more and more people!"

Feeling the terrifying auras constantly increasing behind him, Wang Xiaopang was so scared that his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, and his speed was forced up another notch!

"Dong Li, how much longer until we reach the location of that Ancient Maze you mentioned!"

Xiao Ruobai's voice pierced through the howling wind, carrying a hint of urgency.

The scale of the pursuers behind them far exceeded expectations; it wasn't just those five troublesome Immortal Kings, but also experts from various factions who had heard the news.

During their few days in the Secret Realm, they had gradually learned the general layout of this immortal realm. This place was called the Xuanqiong Immortal Realm, vast and endless, divided by several major factions.

The strongest were the Ziji Imperial Dynasty and the Taihua Sword Sect, both of which had Immortal Sovereigns presiding over them, ruling over billions of miles of territory.

The Nether Ghost Sect, Luotian Sect, Yunmiao Immortal Mountain, and others, although they had no Immortal Sovereign, still had Old Ancestors at the Peak of the Immortal King realm guarding their regions.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the Xuanqiong Immortal Realm originally had no Immortal Sovereigns. It was precisely because a dao-embodying mysterious crystal appeared when the Tianhuang Secret Realm opened.

It was obtained by the strongest experts of the major factions at that time, who used it to achieve a Breakthrough, creating the current landscape of coexisting Immortal Sovereigns.

Now that the mysterious crystal had reappeared, it was enough to drive any faction mad!

Once the news spread completely, those hunting them down probably wouldn't just be the few Immortal Kings before them...

"Soon! At this speed, it will take at most half a cup of tea's time!"

Dong Li lay on Wang Xiaopang's back, its crimson eyes staring intently at an ancient mountain range shrouded in a faint purple mist that was getting closer.

"It's deep within that Purple Miasma Mountain! It was once a corner of an ancient battlefield, where naturally formed mazes are mixed with battlefield killing intent and broken Laws, making it extremely bizarre!"

"Speed up!"

Xiao Ruobai shouted sharply, and the five streams of light immediately accelerated further. They were so fast that they pulled out a series of sharp sonic booms behind them.

"Damn it! Chase them!"

Immortal King Zhenyue's face was ashen. Seeing the distance widen again, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he unexpectedly burned several precious drops of Natal Essence Blood without hesitation! His speed surged once more!

Seeing this, the four Immortal Kings—Tianluo, Ghost Fog, Jian Chenzi, and Xian Wang Yun Yao—likewise gritted their teeth and performed secret methods, either burning essence blood or activating forbidden escape techniques, their speeds all increasing by a notch!

The two sides were like two comets, one in front and one behind, chasing madly, with the distance always maintained in the dangerous and subtle range of about ten miles.

Those chasing from further away were gradually left behind; only a few Immortal Kings could barely keep up.

"Whoosh—!"

Half a cup of tea's time passed in an instant.

The five of them were like five sharp arrows, boldly shooting into that ancient mountain range shrouded in faint purple miasma.

As soon as they entered the mountain range, the surrounding environment changed abruptly.

The dense purple miasma was not toxic fog, but a special energy field mixed with battlefield slaughtering malevolence, ancient broken Laws, and chaotic Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Visibility was greatly hindered, and when Divine Sense was extended less than a hundred zhang, it was distorted and swallowed by the chaotic energy field, making perception blurred and unreliable.

Even more bizarrely, the space here was like a shattered mirror, with a large number of subtle, unstable spatial folds and faults.

"Go west! Stick to that broken ridge!"

Dong Li forced itself to stay alert, a faint illusory light appearing in its crimson eyes as it tried to identify energy flows and spatial anomalies that were difficult for ordinary people to detect.

"Careful three steps to the left, there's an invisible spatial vortex there!"

"Turn right! Avoid that darkest patch of purple miasma, there's residual Soldier's Malevolent Qi inside!"

"Go straight for fifty zhang, then immediately descend, there's a brief spatial stability zone below!"

Under Dong Li's guidance, the five of them moved swiftly through the complex and bizarre Purple Miasma Mountain like fish in water.

Their speed in adapting to the environment far exceeded that of the pursuers behind them.

Only a few breaths later—

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Five streams of light of different colors followed closely into the Purple Miasma Mountain range; it was precisely Immortal King Zhenyue and the other four.

As soon as they entered this place, the expressions of the five changed simultaneously.

"What chaotic Laws! My Divine Sense is being suppressed!"

"This miasma is strange; it can interfere with perception!"

Even for Immortal Kings, this kind of chaotic battlefield environment left over from ancient times was tricky.

The auras of Xiao Ruobai and the others became even more elusive in this area, making them difficult to lock onto accurately.

"Split up and search! They can't have run far!"

They believed that with the strength and vision of an Immortal King, even in a complex environment, finding a few Heavenly Immortal juniors was only a matter of time.

"Stop!"

Deep in a complex stone forest shrouded in dense purple miasma, Xiao Ruobai suddenly raised his hand.

The five figures stood still like ghosts in the shadow of a huge, jagged stone pillar covered in knife and sword marks.

"Senior Brother, what's wrong?" Wang Xiaopang panted heavily, looking around vigilantly.

Xiao Ruobai did not answer, but instead closed his eyes, a faint golden light flowing slightly between his brows.

After a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, looked toward a certain direction to his left-front, and said in a low voice: "Dong Li, can the maze here, combined with your illusion technique, trap an Immortal King!"

"What do you want to do!" Dong Li's face froze, and then its heart pounded wildly as a crazy thought emerged.

"Those are Immortal Kings! I might have been able to interfere a bit in my prime, but now my Divine Soul is about to scatter, how could I..."

Its words stopped abruptly.

Because in Xiao Ruobai's hand, at some point, a Medicinal Pill had appeared that was crystal clear like colored glaze, with seven-colored dense mist flowing inside.

The moment the pill appeared, a fragrance so pure it seemed capable of nourishing the Souls of all things spread out, causing Dong Li's severely injured and withered Divine Soul to tremble with vigor!

"Is this the Seven-Colored Soul-Nurturing Pill?! A top-tier precious pill specifically for repairing Divine Soul injuries! You actually have this?!"

To it, whose Divine Soul Origin was currently severely damaged, this pill was no different from a life-saving straw!

"Take it; it should be able to temporarily stabilize your Divine Soul and give you the strength to perform one illusion technique."

Looking at Xiao Ruobai's resolute face, a flash of heroic spirit appeared in Dong Li's crimson eyes:

"Fine, today I'll let you all see what the true power of the Ancient Fox Clan is!"

It opened its mouth and swallowed the Seven-Colored Soul-Nurturing Pill. The medicine melted upon entering its mouth, turning into a warm and vast torrent of Soul Power that instantly surged toward its nearly dried-up Divine Soul Origin.

Its withered aura recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its crimson eyes became full of spirit once more. Although it was still some way from its prime, it was enough to perform one powerful illusion technique!
