Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

"Boom!"

"Thinking of running away?"

Although the seventh prince's strength greatly exceeded Yi Chen's expectations, and the prince, who was deemed mediocre in the intelligence reports, had such cultivation, Yi Chen was not without countermeasures.

When a plan has progressed to this point, the more the enemy wants to do something, the more you should prevent it.

The dazzling golden pattern at the core of his golden core suddenly dimmed, and a faint mist of blood emerged from the pores all over Yi Chen's body—it was the reappearance of his space-breaking ability. Countless glimmers in the world also gathered towards his body, forming a vortex of airflow.

"Damn it, as if nobody else knows some kind of acceleration secret technique!"

With this power boost, Yi Chen's figure once again caught up to the seventh prince who was fleeing at breakneck speed.

Amongst the howling wind, a large grinning face appeared to the left of Yue Jinyi, revealing a wide row of pearly white teeth.

"Your Highness, it's quite a refreshing breeze~"

"Flying so fast, Your Highness remains calm and composed, though your face is a bit red from the exertion. Your cultivation has reached the pinnacle; how many years have you cultivated, may I ask?"

An irritating voice came from the side, making the seventh prince feel as miserable as a dog.

The blush from using the demonic blood escape technique suddenly darkened as well.

"Yi Chengzi, I curse your mother!"

"Bounce back! Your Highness may want to mind your own mother's honor!" Yi Chen coldly sneered and suddenly unleashed another burst of sword qi.

Think you can slip away? Don't even think about it before you've killed this Daoist.

Once Feng Linsu and the others break through the formation and complete the evidence gathering, they will surely come at full speed.

This is the real advantage on my side!

While restraining Yue Jinyi, Yi Chen once again demonstrated an array of verbal gymnastics.

The artistic language from the mysterious region of Zaun made the seventh prince's eyes split with rage.

Even before his demonic powers were fully formed, he had never been insulted like this.

"Aaargh!"

"Yi Chengzi, you shameless wretch, I will kill you!" Yue Jinyi, both furious and anxious, suddenly slapped his chest and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, again urging the secret technique to increase his speed on top of the already enhanced pace.

To follow or not to follow, that is the question.

Yi Chen chose to follow.

"Burn Gold! Burn Gold!"

With a silent roar inside, the last two golden patterns swirling atop Yi Chen's golden core suddenly dissolved.

He pursued in the direction of Yue Jinyi.

The acceleration from his space-breaking ability could not be stacked unless he used techniques like the Soul Ignition Technique; Yi Chen chose just to keep up.

Since the seventh prince was heading towards Jinyi City, and having used such a secret technique twice already, his cultivation body had suffered no light injury; Yi Chen had done enough.

Although he was inspired by Xu Xiaoxun's spirit, Yi Chen still habitually kept a card up his sleeve.

If it wasn't a matter of life and death, he would never resort to the Soul Ignition Technique.

"Because, what I trust the most, is still myself!"

After several moments of internal struggle, Yi Chen still made such a choice.

The seventh prince's cultivation was profound and not inferior to his own; even if Soul Ignition Technique could give him a chance to kill the prince, it could severely damage his cultivation body.

If an unforeseen incident occurred later, he would truly have no cards left to play.

Jinyi City was just a few hundred miles away from Tianfeng Prefecture. As the black pillar of light swayed precariously, a streak of black and red blood-light plunged into the pillar with a speed that Feng Linsu and the others failed to react to and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

After the seventh prince plunged into the black column of light, the shaky formation seemed to stabilize once more.

Seconds later, Yi Chen arrived in hot pursuit.

He saw Feng Linsu and a female general in red armor furiously pouring mana onto a black membrane, surrounded by a dozen mysterious cultivators in dark armor holding compass magic artifacts.

The membrane was the source of the black pillar of light.

It was located right in the grand hall of Yue Jinyi's residence.

"Yi Taoist! You've arrived just...," Feng Linsu began to say something but was interrupted by Yi Chen.

"No rush, continue what you're doing, I'll take action in five seconds!"

Everyone: "....."

With the Dragon-Slaying Sword's tip pointed straight at the sky, Yi Chen grasped the hilt with both hands, starting to strike a pose.

He wasn't trying to show off or be frugal with words.

There was genuinely no time, for the effects of his Burn Gold were about to end.

Charging up was for a more powerful punch; for every second he stood motionless, the power of his strike doubled, up to a maximum of five seconds for a five-fold increase.

Yi Chen was preparing to give the seventh prince a little bit of shock from his charged attack!

This was Yi Chen's second supernatural ability gained after breaking through a realm.

Fighting wasn't particularly useful, but in circumstances like these it couldn't be more fitting.

The first second.

Lian Hongying, the wife of Feng Linsu, looked at the tall Daoist raising the Dragon-Slaying Sword in front of the black luminescent membrane, her scalp numbing at the sight of his back muscles and the full-body Dragon Tiger Divine Patterns.

Unable to help herself, she asked Feng Linsu, "Husband, what is that Yi Taoist doing?"

The formation master brought by Feng Linsu, along with his other subordinates, also turned their gazes toward Feng Linsu.

Feng Linsu touched his nose and didn't say anything.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Yi Chen also felt quite embarrassed, but he couldn't make any movement while gathering power or it would be ruined, so he had to continue.

At that moment, a second later, a strange force suddenly emerged within Yi Chen's body, causing the tip of the Dragon-Slaying Sword to tremble ever so slightly. A gusty wind began to pick up within a kilometer radius of Yi Chen.

The second second, under the summoning of the strange force that suddenly emerged within Yi Chen, the gusty wind grew more violent, sweeping up all kinds of debris within a kilometer into the sky.

The third second, Lian Hongying's astonished voice suddenly rang out, "Is this the aura of a divine ability seed? It seems both familiar and strange,

This Yi Taoist's divine ability seed is particularly peculiar.

How did he come to comprehend such a strange divine ability seed?"

"And what a useless divine ability seed it is."

"Husband, no wonder you said Yi Taoist is a prodigy, he truly is astonishing and defies conventional logic."

Regarding the anomaly caused by Yi Chen, Lian Hongying obviously misunderstood, almost slipping and calling it a useless treasure.

Feng Linsu coughed, "Wife, Yi Taoist has already deployed his trump card. With this mysterious reinforcement, we can break the formation forcefully. We shall strike together shortly."

As soon as he spoke, everyone's expressions grew solemn as they began to channel their mana, ready to strike.

The fourth second.

The anomaly changed again—only to see a streak of golden light appearing at the tip of the Dragon-Slaying Sword. Under the effect of the strange force within Yi Chen, it grew increasingly brilliant.

The violent wind within a kilometer had turned into a hurricane. It was only because the people present were high-level cultivators who could suppress the effects with their mana that they weren't swept into the sky.

Lian Hongying's expression had already undergone a slight change, quietly communicating something to Feng Linsu.

The fifth second.

It was like a tornado destroying a parking lot.

The buildings within a kilometer radius were directly shattered and swept away; even the ground had three layers scoured off. Yi Chen finally could move.

At that moment, he felt his body swell unbearably as streaks of strange force, like little mice, scurried within his body, swelling into large lumps that roamed all over him.

He held the Dragon-Slaying Sword, as if carrying an abyss on his back. Under the effect of the strange force, the dragon-shaped divine pattern, which had only roamed his back, climbed up to his arms.

For a moment, the dragon and tiger merged.

His already astonishingly exaggerated arms swelled even further.

"Ah! Strike now!" Yi Chen could no longer hold back.

The Dragon-Slaying Sword dropped.

The golden light at the sword's tip transformed into a hundred-meter golden sword that suddenly slashed toward the black light column.

The ferocious hurricane, as if attracted, also slammed fiercely into the black light column.

Feng Linsu and his wife were already primed to act.

"Azure Sky Saber!"

"Rainbow Piercing the Sun!"

A supremely condensed emerald saber Qi, like a river, ruthlessly struck the black light column above the sky.

Close behind it was the massive shadow of a red-tasseled spear.

As three tremendous forces descended, the black light column flickered fiercely before vanishing into nothing.

The grand formation that Prince Seven had painstakingly maintained over the years instantly shattered.

The ground exploded, creating a huge pit, and a bronze gateway appeared before everyone's eyes.

Besides that, there was a gaunt corpse seated at the bronze gateway, bearing a faint resemblance to Prince Seven's visage.

"Prince Seven is dead?"

Just as everyone was internally shocked, a massive heart, like a tumor, squeezed out from within the bronze gateway, emitting a howl not unlike a human's.

Prince Seven's face was ambiguously visible on the heart.

He had actually abandoned his fleshly body to support the formation, while his soul escaped into the gateway and merged into the demonic heart.

Fleshy sprouts emerged from the heart, and in an instant, a ten-meter monster stood between heaven and earth.
