533: Chapter 531 Reverse Teleportation

[You have triggered 'Fatal Strike'!]

[You have slain a Cangyun Invader...]

[Your spirituality value +4,500, your rule fragment +1]

After slaying another person, Chu Xuan glanced at the harvested spirituality value and immediately noticed that it wasn't much less than what he got from slaying a Specter.

This was completely different from the few Guiyuan Realm Martial Artists he had slain earlier in the Tianxing Mountains.

"Is it because the level of the Fire of Nirvana has increased, or because the world has merged with the Lord of Madness's authority? Or perhaps both..."

A thought flashed through Chu Xuan's mind, but he didn't have the luxury to overthink. He had only one thought now: kill more invaders and harvest more spirituality value and rule fragments.

[You have triggered the Talent 'Strong Plunder'. Do you choose to consume 3,000 spirituality value points to obtain the martial art 'Nine Heavens Swimming Dragon Step'?]

The System prompt appeared, and Chu Xuan immediately recalled that this was a skill he had seen on Junior Brother Shen Guyun and the others through the Eye of Insight.

No time to check the techniques carefully; take it first and talk later!

Chu Xuan made his choice instantly.

[Your spirituality value -3,000, you have obtained the martial art 'Nine Heavens Swimming Dragon Step'!]

In a flash of thought, Chu Xuan suddenly looked up at that guard. As their eyes met, a ghostly glow flickered, and he had already activated Heart Bewitchment.

Pfft!!

The guard spat out a mouthful of blood, and blood flowed uncontrollably from his seven orifices. When he looked at Chu Xuan, his expression was full of horror as he retreated rapidly.

"As I thought, it's not enough..."

Chu Xuan could see that the opponent's health points had decreased by about 20%, but he wasn't affected too much. Immediately, Chu Xuan stepped out with Void Burst Step and gave chase.

Just as another slash passed through, the guard's body suddenly exploded.

"No kill notification..."

Chu Xuan immediately realized something was wrong. Just before that slash landed, the opponent had already exploded.

Buzz—

A circle of white Formation light diffused from the blood mist, sweeping in all directions in the blink of an eye.

Chu Xuan's mind shook as he suddenly found the surrounding scenery twisting and changing.

One second, he was above Xuanwu Lake.

The next second, it turned into a massive Sect gate square.

Below was a huge Formation base, and the surroundings were filled with crowds. Everyone wore clothes similar to the person just killed, their bodies radiating a crystalline glow and their blood-qi surging like a rainbow.

Perhaps because they weren't in the same space, Chu Xuan couldn't use the Eye of Insight, but according to his senses, there were many Guiyuan Realm Martial Artists among them.

Especially the three white-haired figures standing suspended in the air in the center. Not only did their clothes look more magnificent, but precious light also rose from their bodies, and a halo appeared behind their heads, giving Chu Xuan a spine-chilling sense of terror.

Space continued to twist, scenes switched back and forth, and countless spatial turbulences cut toward him like sharp blades, but they were neutralized by the Formation light, feeling neither painful nor itchy as they hit his body.

"Hahahaha!"

A burst of venomous laughter rang out; it was the voice of the previous guard: "The Sect has long left a backup plan. One only needs to detonate any sub-Formation to trigger a Reverse Teleportation..."

"Chu Xuan, no matter how powerful you are, do you think you'll have a chance to live once you enter the heart of my Sect? This was originally prepared for Yang Yu, but now it's yours!"

Chu Xuan looked around following the sound, but he couldn't find anyone. The voice also seemed to be everywhere, making it impossible to tell where it was coming from.

"Are you looking for me? Hehe... How can a mere native of a discarded world understand the miraculous nature of my Cangyun Sect's Formations? Just wait for your death!"

A strange light flashed in Chu Xuan's eyes: "Tracing Cause and Effect!"

Within the voice, Chu Xuan saw a thread. Following the thread, he immediately found a figure in the distorted space above.

As their gazes met, the guard's pupils suddenly constricted.

Pfft!

Chu Xuan leaped up, his blade already sweeping across.

"You... how is it possible..." The guard's face changed drastically. He slowly turned his head to look at Chu Xuan's back above him, his eyes full of disbelief.

Before he could finish his words, his head fell off.

A black line flashed at the severed neck, and the Fire of Nirvana ignited, swallowing him in an instant.

[You have slain a Cangyun Invader...]

[Your spirituality value +2,950]

[Current spirituality value: 36,910]

"Pity, no rule fragment..." Chu Xuan felt his head tightening again.

"Mental Energy is nearly exhausted, and it's far from recovered..."

Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes. He originally wanted to save some and spend all his attribute points on other attributes to improve his direct combat capability.

But now, he had to change his mind.

—First, exchange for 3 real attribute points and add them all to spirit.

[Your spirituality value -3,000]

[Your real spirit +3, current: 35]

[Remaining exchangeable real attribute points: 30]

Chu Xuan's brain roared and vibrated, and there was an itchy sensation, but fortunately, there was no more piercing pain. He could barely maintain his mobility.

"Boss Chu, we're being teleported!" Gaga Chicken shouted through the megaphone as he descended in the white emperor fighter from above. "We're screwed, those old geezers are staring at us!"

The scene was still switching back and forth.

The white-haired figures in the center of the square were two men and one woman. Their skin was tight and as ruddy as a baby's, showing no signs of old age.

At this moment, they were looking over with sharp eyes.

"..." Chu Xuan's heart tightened. He wanted to leave this place, but he couldn't step out of the range of the white Formation light, and even teleportation had no effect.

—Dream Return!

Chu Xuan immediately used his trump card.

[Currently unable to use Dream Return.]

"Holy crap!"

Chu Xuan's scalp went numb instantly. Was he no longer in the original world? Or was he currently in the middle of teleportation?

Only a few seconds had passed from the start until now. Looking at the surrounding spatial turbulence, Chu Xuan felt a chill in his heart.

Boom, boom, boom—

The surrounding space vibrated incessantly. Xuanwu Lake below became increasingly blurred whenever it appeared, while the giant square became clearer and clearer.

"The teleportation is about to complete!"

Chu Xuan realized this immediately. His brain worked rapidly, and then as he looked at the fighter jet, his eyes flashed, and he teleported directly into the cockpit.

"Maximum power, fly forward at full speed!"

"Boss, we can't fly out of here at all!"

Gaga Chicken operated white emperor no. 1, but the silver-gray stream of light was consistently unable to break out of the thousand-meter range covered by the Formation.

"Don't worry about it, just keep flying!"

Chu Xuan spoke in a deep voice, narrowing his eyes.

The reason they couldn't fly out now was that they were in the middle of a spatial teleportation.

If the white emperor fighter continued flying at its full-power speed of Mach 16, they could instantly distance themselves once the teleportation succeeded.

This was where hope lay!

The spatial turbulence was like blades, clanging incessantly against the fighter jet.

Fortunately, there was the protection of the Formation light; otherwise, this fighter jet would have been scrapped long ago.

"Boss Chu, wouldn't it be too much of a loss if we die here?"

"Don't worry, we won't die!"

Chu Xuan's face was calm as he took out the communication radar Tang Zheng had given him. He pressed the button on the edge and shouted:

"Brother Zheng, why isn't there any movement from you? Something unexpected happened on my end—I'm about to be teleported to the Cangyun World's home base. Is there any way you can come save me?"
