Chapter 672

Rushou did feel a lingering fear . The enemy was simply too powerful . It was only thanks to Qin Yun’s Misty Rain Array, which stood unparalleled in the Three Realms, that they managed to withstand the joint attacks of thirty-two perfected Great Dao experts and survive the ordeal .

“How long will they continue this pursuit?” Goumang could not help but ask .

“It will come down to how long either side can last . ” Qin Yun shot a glance at the experts who encircled the array .

“Sword Immortal Qin, you’re using a great deal of Dharmic powers, but with the might they are delivering, will they be able to maintain it constantly?” Rushou added . By the side, Goumang quipped, “It’s hard to tell what means the experts from other universes have, but what Sword Immortal Qin said was right . That mysterious existence that controls thirty-two envoys at the same time must be paying a huge price . The longer it takes, the greater the price . “

“Our pills can last five days,” said Qin Yun . “If they are still pursuing on the last day, we shall fight it out!”

“Okay . ” Goumang and Rushou nodded .

They had many plans as well .

If the enemy was too powerful, they would naturally chose to flee .

If fleeing wasn’t possible, they would fight to the death! This involved tactics such as expanding the Misty Rain Array suddenly and enveloping a number of the melee combat enemies . They would then counterattack by divide and conquer! However, the enemy simply had too many on their side . It was possible that one of the three of them would perish . It was even possible that they would all end up wiped out . Unless cornered, they would not choose to fight to the death .

…

Finally, after spending a day and two hours, the mysterious existence failed to hold out .

“With the power supplied by the Eternal God King, all my avatars can maintain the assault without any worry about the energy drainage . But to maintain so many envoys is extremely burdensome on my soul . I have to burn my soul to barely continue . But the longer I persist, the weaker my soul . If this continues… my soul might be in danger . ” The mysterious existence sighed secretly .

Ordinary perfected Great Dao experts would have one main body . Even if they cultivated a handful of avatars, their avatars would be much weaker .

On the other hand, this mysterious existence controlled the other experts’ bodies and was able to allow them to deliver their fullest power .

It seemed heaven-defying, but every body controlled burdened the soul by another 100% . In fact, controlling three avatars was already the limit under normal circumstances . It would not deal any harm to the soul, and if one burned one’s soul at the risk of damaging the soul, one could control thirty plus avatars . However, the longer one burned their soul, the graver the damage to their soul .

At a certain point, the soul would suffer the burden of all the avatars and crack . The only solution was to enter a long slumber .

“I can’t last any longer . “

“This sword array’s power isn’t fated to be mine . ” The mysterious existence gave up . He had a feeling that even if he spared no expenses, the chances of his soul cracking within the next six hours were low, but another half a day would cause his soul to crack . When that happened, Qin Yun and company would counter attack!

“Whoosh . “

Qin Yun and company were still escaping when they discovered the thirty-two experts had stopped attacking . Simultaneously, a gigantic phantom appeared .

It was a silver-haired elder with sharp ears . He looked at Qin Yun as his voice resounded through the spatial tide and reached the trio’s ears . “I, Fate, never expected that having reigned supreme in the spatial tide all this while, I would fail at your hands . The expert who uses the sword array, might you tell me your name?”

“You can’t consider it as a failure . You did not lose . All we did was flee . ” Qin Yun said . “As for my name, Fate, you can address me as… Sword Immortal!”

Qin Yun did not reveal his real name . It was a known fact that there were hexes among the magi that could attack a target simply from knowing them name . He had to be wary of the means available to experts from other universes .

Fate was probably not a real name either .

“Sword Immortal?” The mysterious existence muttered and smiled . “I’ll remember this name . Consider me the loser this time . I lost three envoys . Sword Immortal from a different universe… if we meet again, I’ll definitely win . I will make you my envoy . “

“The next time we meet will be the moment of your death,” said Qin Yun as well .

The mysterious existence laughed and vanished .

Hua!

A mountain opened up as the thirty-two experts descended into the mountain before the mountain flew in another direction .

“They are finally gone . ” Rushou heaved a sigh of relief .

Goumang looked suspiciously at the flying mountain . “It seems they are not returning to their original spot?”

“With their strength completely exposed, why would they dare return to their original spot?” Qin Yun said . “If they dare return, I’ll definitely invite Hou Yi and company here and slay this expert from another universe . He actually managed to enslave so many experts . His means are rather sinister . However, he also has many treasures . Many of those envoys had powerful weapons . I estimate about six Connate Cardinal treasures . It would be enough to invite Hou Yi and other experts of similar strength . “

“Yes, if Hou Yi were to come, he will definitely be killed . ” Rushou and Goumang agreed .

Hou Yi’s arrow, even a normal one, was already at the apex of the half-step Heavenly Dao realm . If he fought for his life… his offensive means matched that of the Heavenly Dao realm!

Who wasn’t afraid of Hou Yi’s arrows in the Three Realms?

Even Qin Yun, who was a half-step Heavenly Dao realm existence, lacked the confidence to withstand Hou Yi’s arrow with his Misty Rain Array .

Although he withstood the thirty-two experts, all of them added up was about three or four times the silver-haired woman’s strength . Qin Yun felt that he was still far from the Heavenly Dao realm .

“With your sword array’s protection and Hou Yi’s arrow to kill, it would truly be invincible,” marveled Goumang in agreement .

“If Hou Yi were to come, he would be here in person . He would be risking his life, so it wouldn’t be easy inviting him here . ” Rushou smiled as he looked at Qin Yun . “I was able to invite Sword Immortal Qin here because of the threat of his Itinerant Immortal tribulations . His need for great merit prompted him to risk his life with me . To convince Hou Yi to risk coming here… it will probably be much harder . “

“If we inform him of Fate, he will definitely come where there are so many treasures,” said Goumang . “Unfortunately, it seems Fate has escaped elsewhere . ” It was an unknown when they would bump into each other in the vast spatial tides .

“Fate? He sure is arrogant to dare use this as a name,” muttered Qin Yun . “However, he is indeed very strong . “

“Very! Based on the information we have about the experts from other universes, he would be one of the best,” said Goumang .

“The one I chose ended up being so strong . My luck…” Rushou shook his head helplessly, “It can be said that I fulfilled my wish . I obtained treasures and wouldn’t easily come here again . However, I wouldn’t mind if Sword Immortal Qin joins . “

“Whether I need to come to the spatial tide again will depend on how much merit sacrificing these three corpses will gain me . ” Qin Yun looked at the bound giant’s corpse . “This giant has no signs of life again . I’m guessing that he’s really dead this time . ” With that said, the giant was stored away without any resistance .

“He’s really dead . ” Qin Yun laughed . “Let’s go, time to head back . “

“Back to the Three Realms . ” Rushou and Goumang smiled .

Qin Yun had obtained the corpses of three experts while the other two had split the weapons and treasures .

…

“I completely exposed myself this time . “

In the spatial tide, the thirty-two experts entered a slumber . A mysterious elder sat on a throne in a palace within the mountain .

The mountain had also transformed into an island .

“To fully expose oneself in the spatial tide would mean death isn’t far . The sword immortal might bring an expert that is perfect at dealing with me the next time . ” The elder naturally made a decision . “I’ll change spots and switch my identity . “

Those that could prey on others in the spatial tide were extremely careful .

After all, they would be long dead if they weren’t .

“Sword immortal? I’ll remember you . ” The elder’s figure dissipated as the island continued flying in the spatial tide .

******

Time flew by .

It took them the same 68 years to return .

When Qin Yun and company saw the familiar Chaos spatial rift, they felt as if they were returning to their hometown . The rift effused the Chaos aura from the other end . When they passed through the spatial rift, they arrived in the Chaos beyond the Three Realms .

Upon arriving, Qin Yun sensed the Three Realms .

“We are back . ” Qin Yun heaved a sigh of relief .

Meanwhile in Green Touring Palace .

Numinous Treasure Dao Ancestor, who sat cross-legged on a bed of clouds, opened his eyes and looked into the distance where the Chaos spatial rift was . He smiled . “This disciple of mine is finally back . ”
