507: Chapter 505 No Escape

Chu Xuan rode atop the chicken as he traveled.

The Gaga Chicken flew at the maximum speed it could currently exert, occasionally flashing with lightning as it instantly carried Chu Xuan across more than a thousand meters.

After killing Huo Gui and Chen Xueying, the Gaga Chicken had clearly reaped significant rewards, and its speed had surged noticeably compared to before.

At this moment, even without using the lightning teleportation, its flight speed alone had nearly reached the speed of sound, with a top speed far exceeding 1000 kilometers per hour.

The cold, biting wind howled, rushing toward him and messing up Chu Xuan's hair, making his black cloak snap loudly, yet it failed to shake his figure in the slightest.

In Chu Xuan's vision, that single thread grew clearer and clearer.

In just a few minutes, they had already left the capital's boundaries and arrived at Jinmen.

Passing over the urban area, chaotic crowds could be seen below from time to time, seemingly due to Specters causing trouble.

Occasionally, a Dark Rift could be seen, emitting black mist that was spreading outward, as if about to form a Dark Place.

Chu Xuan did not stop, continuing to command the Gaga Chicken forward.

He had now set aside everything else at hand, ignoring all else, specifically to hunt down Revelation.

He had been plotted against multiple times.

This time, he had to kill this scourge!

Suddenly, the direction of the thread changed, no longer heading southeast but extending toward the southwest.

"Has he noticed me..."

A cold smile appeared at the corner of Chu Xuan's mouth, and he immediately commanded the Gaga Chicken to change direction.

Not long after, the thread shifted again, heading due east.

"You can't escape!" Chu Xuan muttered in his heart, his eyes showing intense killing intent as he commanded the Gaga Chicken to shift direction accordingly.

The opponent seemed to realize their position was locked and they couldn't escape; they stopped trying to change direction and kept heading due east.

A few more minutes passed, and the land below disappeared. As bursts of salty sea breeze blew in, the view below was now a vast blue ocean.

Suddenly.

That incredibly clear thread vanished.

"Hidden?"

Chu Xuan's eyes flashed.

He already knew that Revelation had obtained the real authority of concealment.

He had even hidden a segment of history in the future, making everyone lose a month of memories; even he himself had vanished from people's memories.

No matter what schemes or tricks Revelation had, Chu Xuan was determined to destroy him now, giving him no chance for a comeback.

Chu Xuan took out the remaining soul crystals, intense killing intent flashing in his eyes.

—System, go all-in on Tracing Cause and Effect!

[Accelerating Cultivation for you, increasing 'Tracing Cause and Effect' progress...]

Chu Xuan's eyes glazed over slightly, and with a 'boom' in his head, his mind went blank for a moment. His consciousness drifted as if traveling between heaven and earth.

When he came to his senses, he found that all the soul crystals in his hand had turned to powder.

[You have consumed 15,250 spirituality value and 89 soul crystals]

[You have insufficient soul crystals; accelerated Cultivation progress has stopped...]

[Tracing Cause and Effect: Major Achievement (15%)]

[Your Talent is astounding, you are a one-in-a-million Genius. Even with insufficient spirit intensity, you have stepped into a Realm in an instant that others at the same Rank might not reach in fifty years of Cultivation...]

[Your Divine Ability 'Tracing Cause and Effect' has reached Major Achievement, with only 85% progress remaining until 'Perfection'.]

[Number of real attribute available for exchange +10, currently exchangeable: 16]

[Current spirituality value: 4,010]

In an instant, a large amount of resources had been consumed, but Chu Xuan didn't feel the slightest bit of heartache.

Chu Xuan's eyes became increasingly profound.

In his eyes, it was as if all things in this world had threads connecting them to traces left in the past; this was the Karma that once existed.

Chu Xuan felt that with just a thought, he could follow these threads to find the source of those traces.

Suddenly, Chu Xuan's head throbbed slightly, and he immediately focused his mind.

The many threads in his eyes dissipated, leaving only the single line of Karma representing Revelation.

Following this thread.

Chu Xuan's eyes were crystalline, and he could even vaguely see an illusory scene.

On the surging waves of the sea, a man wearing a long formal suit and a top hat, holding a cane, was traveling atop a flying carpet.

"Found you!"

Chu Xuan's gaze suddenly sharpened.

The surrounding seawater surged. Although there were no landmarks, with Chu Xuan's observation skills, he instantly identified that the opponent was about thirty kilometers ahead of them.

Chu Xuan's pupils seemed to contract to the size of needlepoints.

In his actual line of sight, thirty kilometers away across the boundless horizon, there was clearly nothing at all; he couldn't even see many seabirds.

"Invisible..."

A cold smile appeared on Chu Xuan's lips.

No matter how the opponent hid their tracks, now under Tracing Cause and Effect, with the illusory images falling into his eyes, everything had nowhere to hide.

Chu Xuan took out the heavenly punishment overlord bow, and just as he was about to draw it.

Suddenly, in the illusory image before him, a scroll appeared in the man's hand. Amidst a flash of light, the man along with the flying carpet beneath him vanished simultaneously.

Chu Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

The direction the thread in his eyes extended had not changed, still pointing due east.

The illusory image flashed.

The man in the formal suit fell into his sight again, still on the sea.

And several dozen kilometers in front of this person, an island with dense forests and sound planning was already in view.

"Penglai Island?"

Chu Xuan gazed into the distance. Just over a hundred kilometers away, an island was right before his eyes.

"Almost caught up!"

Chu Xuan took a deep breath as the distance grew closer and closer.

Their speed was nearly three times that of the opponent.

If it weren't for the scroll appearing in the opponent's hand, allowing him to teleport away instantly, they would have almost caught up by now.

Under the Divine Ability of Tracing Cause and Effect, in the illusory image in his eyes, the man in the formal suit landed on the island and came to a park.

There was no one here.

There were only bloody corpses all over the ground, arranged into an altar.

The man quickly landed and stepped onto the altar. As he opened his arms, his mouth moved, but no sound could be heard.

But soon, a curtain-like barrier fell over the park, concealing the entire park, and a rift slowly opened in front of him.

"Trying to escape?"

Chu Xuan immediately realized what the opponent wanted to do.

"Have we really caught up? There's nothing ahead..." the Gaga Chicken shouted loudly.

"Keep flying!" Killing intent boiled in Chu Xuan's heart. He drew the longbow, and a pitch-black arrow condensed, having already reached its charging limit long ago.

Boom—!!

A sky-shattering explosion rang out.

Where there had been nothing ahead, a curtain seemed to be torn open.

An island instantly appeared in his sight.

Amidst the tremors, the pitch-black arrow, carrying an unparalleled screeching sound and wrapped in earth-shattering thunder, landed upon the altar.

It was like a heavy bomb had been dropped.

The island split.

Seawater poured in.

Countless clouds of dust rose everywhere!
