416: Pull, stalemate

These people's speed is far greater than yours.

Even if you exhaust all your means, you cannot reach Hun Tian Town before they intercept you.

"Damn it..."

A cold light flashes in your eyes, and without caring about the waste, you immediately begin to use Fatal Strike.

Several invisible attacks flash by in succession, taking the lives of one Cultivator after another.

However, the other Cosmos Commerce Guild Cultivators who see this scene show no fear; instead, they swarm toward you even more crazily.

Having no other choice, you are forced to use Fatal Strike in large quantities.

By the time you slaughter your way to the Cosmos Commerce Guild in Xi Sha City, the number of Fatal Strike in your possession has already dwindled to only thirty!

"Bang!"

As you break through the door, ten more Fatal Strike are released, taking the lives of all the Cultivators here.

You have no time for anything else and immediately begin searching within this branch of the Cosmos Commerce Guild.

Soon, you find dozens more Chaos Spiritual Energy.

You forcibly refine them.

Your Cultivation rises steadily, reaching the Peak of the Fifth Realm directly.

This is not the end.

You also discover several boxes in this Cosmos Commerce Guild branch. Although you do not know what is stored inside them, a sense of longing arises in your heart.

However, no matter what you do, you are unable to force these boxes open.

With no other choice, you have to put these boxes away temporarily and flash away, leaving this Cosmos Commerce Guild branch.

"Thief! You won't be able to leave!"

A shout suddenly comes from afar.

The next moment, countless figures instantly appear before your eyes.

But at this moment, you do not panic in the slightest when facing them.

Because these Cosmos Commerce Guild Cultivators pursuing you are mostly of the Fifth and Sixth Realms; among them, only a few Seventh Realm Cultivators at the level of branch masters can cause you harm.

"Noisy!"

You first use Fatal Strike to instantly kill those who can threaten you, then sneer and immediately engage the other Cultivators in battle.

Willow Branches swing out continuously like your own arms, defeating one pursuing Cultivator after another.

For a time, no one can injure you in the slightest.

Although you know that you are temporarily invincible, you do not stay here.

Instead, you fight while retreating, continuing to head toward other Cosmos Commerce Guild branches according to the memories in your mind.

Just like that, you plunder one branch after another, and your Cultivation grows from the Peak of the Fifth Realm to the Seventh Realm.

Until...

The true main force of the Cosmos Commerce Guild arrives.

In the memories you previously obtained through soul searching, the Universe Commerce Guild Master once held a grand meeting with all subordinate guild members.

And the content of this meeting was to kill you at all costs.

He summoned all the Cultivators up and down the Cosmos Commerce Guild, ordering everyone to drop all their work and immediately charge toward your location.

And those who have arrived before you now are almost all Cultivators from the Cosmos Commerce Guild headquarters, whose strength is far above yours.

There is no choice; facing so many such beings, even if you still have over a dozen Fatal Strike in hand, you can only avoid their sharp edge.

You stop plundering other Cosmos Commerce Guild branches and instead activate Celestial Travel to shuttle repeatedly, returning to the location where you first arrived in the Outer Universe—Hun Tian Town.

You dive directly into the Chaos Qi.

Although this place makes you feel immense pain, it is the only way for you to evade the pursuit of the Cosmos Commerce Guild.

As for how things will develop afterward...

You will just have to take it one step at a time.

You find a direction and roam within the Chaos Qi.

Because you now possess the Cultivation Realm of an Outer Universe Cultivator, you have greater resistance to this Chaos Qi.

If there are no accidents, you will be able to roam within the Chaos Qi for a longer time.

Several days later.

Crisis Awareness sends you a subtle warning.

You know that this is the Cultivators from the Cosmos Commerce Guild headquarters arriving.

Although you do not know where they are, they must be very close to you now, and there is a certain probability that they will cause you harm.

This makes you somewhat nervous.

Suddenly, you bump into an object within the Chaos Qi.

He attacks you without a word.

Sharp light blades pierce through the Chaos Qi and pour entirely into your body.

But due to the God of One-on-One Battles, his attacks do not cause you any damage.

This makes the other party somewhat surprised.

However, just before the opponent attacks again, you move.

You do not use Fatal Strike to kill him; instead, you thrust both hands out, aiming straight for his head!

Although the opponent's strength is far superior to yours, your soul-searching technique has now reached the level of perfection; even against enemies stronger than you, you can extract a sliver of their memory through forced soul searching.

Although the memories extracted by this method are not necessarily useful, it is better than nothing.

Furthermore...

With the help of the God of One-on-One Battles, a Cultivator cannot cause you any harm, so you might as well search him.

"How dare you?!"

The Cultivator opposite is suddenly greatly alarmed.

He can clearly feel that a sliver of his Divine Soul is being stripped away.

It is a terrifying feeling.

Because although it is just a sliver of Divine Soul, its disappearance proves that that portion of his time has "died."

"Fellow Daoist, wait!"

"I am just a deacon of the Cosmos Commerce Guild. If you let me go, I will not participate in the pursuit of you from now on!"

"Hmph, it's too late!"

You sneer and refine this sliver of Divine Soul on the spot, and at the same time, this Cultivator lets out a heart-wrenching scream.

After finishing all this, you head toward an area where the Chaos Qi is thin, intending to use Celestial Travel to drag out the battle with these Cosmos Commerce Guild Cultivators.

A moment later, you arrive at a place where the Chaos Qi is thin.

You activate Celestial Travel and shuttle repeatedly between several Cultivator gathering places you have visited before.

Although you are consuming a great deal due to resisting the Chaos Qi, those expenditures all come from the power of the Outer Universe Cultivation system.

However, the power of the Inner Universe Cultivation system has not been consumed at all.

This places you in an invincible position.

Unless someone appears on the Cosmos Commerce Guild's side who can kill you from tens of millions of light-years away, even if the entire Cosmos Commerce Guild is mobilized, it is impossible for them to injure you in the slightest.

Just like that, you drag out the battle with the Cosmos Commerce Guild for a long time.
