Supreme of the Heavenly Realm

"He actually ran?"

The Spirit Ghost Emperor scanned the surroundings, yet before his eyes was nothing but emptiness; Ye Xuan's trace was nowhere to be seen.

His expression immediately turned gloomy.

"What a cunning boy."

The Spirit Ghost Emperor clenched his fist and then smashed it hard onto a nearby rock, shattering it to pieces.

The meat in his mouth flew away; how could he not be angry.

"That boy is seriously injured, hit by my Netherworld Palm Force, basically impossible to recover."

At this moment, the Spirit Ghost Emperor instead felt relieved, he secretly laughed to himself, even if Ye Xuan managed to escape, so what? Is he afraid of the other's revenge? If the other doesn't retaliate, that's fine; if he does, it'll be a one-way road for him.

It's just a pity about his Netherworld Artifact and Heavenly Emperor Netherworld Stone.

However, he thought that Ye Xuan hadn't gone far now. If he explored around, he might be able to find Ye Xuan.

"The monk can run but the temple cannot, right; he still has companions. As long as I catch his companions, he won't be able to stir up any storms."

The Spirit Ghost Emperor thought of Ling Qianxue and the others. If he captured Ling Qianxue and others, Ye Xuan would surely fall into his trap, without him having to exert any effort to search.

"Hmph, even if your injuries recover, I could crush you with one hand." The Spirit Ghost Emperor grinned.

Whoosh whoosh...

The strong wind blew past Ye Xuan's ears; at this moment, Ye Xuan could barely open his eyes. The entire world was incredibly silent; he couldn't hear anything, didn't want to care about anything, just wanted to sleep for a while and, best of all, never wake up.

Within his body, the Netherworld Power was like blood-sucking worms desperately absorbing Ye Xuan's vitality.

If it were an ordinary person, such severe injuries would have been fatal long ago.

Originally, even though the Spirit Ghost Emperor was a high-level Sealing Emperor strong person, he couldn't have forced him to this extent, only because the power of the Martial Arts Primordial Spirit had run out, and the Netherworld Energy in this Netherworld Ghost Cave was extremely abundant. It could be said that this was the main stage of the Spirit Ghost Emperor, enhancing his abilities here almost to several times the power.

"No!"

He didn't know how many times he had bitten his tongue, trying to use the pain to wake himself up, then stuffed a handful of pills to restore Primordial Qi into his mouth.

Ye Xuan shook his head, feeling his thoughts had become sluggish; even an ordinary extreme martial fighter could knock him down with a single hit at this time.

"The strength is still too weak, facing a high-level Sealing Emperor strong person, it is even more difficult."

Now Ye Xuan's only thought was to find a place to heal; if he didn't heal, he would soon die. After healing, he didn't plan to act immediately but worked hard to advance to the Seventh Grade Martial Saint Realm to further improve his strength.

A weak cultivation means a weak body; even if the soul power is strong, it is still difficult to compensate for the shortcomings.

But the current problem is, there is no excellent place for seclusion to be found, and he doesn't want to randomly find a place to heal, as that would lead to a faster death.

"It seems even a genius needs enough luck. I hope to quickly find a seclusion place."

Ye Xuan smiled self-deprecatingly, feeling he could barely hold on anymore.

Facts proved that Ye Xuan's luck was very good. After about half a tea's time passed, just as he was about to collapse from exhaustion, he found a stone chamber. The stone door of this stone chamber moved up and down, with an external opening mechanism. Without much consideration, Ye Xuan smashed the switch with a punch, and the stone door slowly rose. With a swish, Ye Xuan darted in and then shut the stone door.

"Years of accumulating luck have not gone to waste."

The last thought flashed by; Ye Xuan passed out.

Before he fainted, he had already taken Healing Pills that were continuously repairing his internal injuries from the inside out, and the consumed pills were transformed into streams of Primordial Power, providing energy for healing.

...

Far from this place, Ling Qianxue frowned, showing a worried expression on her face. She felt vaguely that something related to her was being threatened, making her very uncomfortable. After thinking about it, it seemed only Ye Xuan could make her uneasy.

"Could it be that Ye Xuan was caught up by the Spirit Ghost Emperor?"

Ling Qianxue's face was somewhat pale; the Spirit Ghost Emperor was not a good person. If Ye Xuan was caught up, it might be fatal.

But quickly, Ling Qianxue breathed a sigh of relief; the uneasiness in her heart disappeared automatically. She thought perhaps Ye Xuan had already escaped danger.

"I must find him as soon as possible."

In the midst of this, it was as if Ye Xuan could sense Ye Xuan's energy; she seemed to have a premonition that Ye Xuan was in a very unsafe situation right now.

"By relying on the sensing between the Three Emperors' Sacred Artifacts, I should be able to locate him."

Ling Qianxue was very anxious; she thought of a good way to find Ye Xuan, and a smile quickly appeared on her pretty face. However, she did not notice that a pair of eyes in the darkness were watching her.

After Ling Qianxue left, a shadow emerged from the darkness, and it was precisely the Spirit Ghost Emperor.

"It seems this little girl knows something; perhaps by secretly following her, I can find that boy."

The Spirit Ghost Emperor's eyes flickered, and then a shady smile appeared on his face as he quietly followed her.

...

At this moment, in a dark stone chamber, Ye Xuan awoke from a deep sleep after an unknown period of time.

He took out a water bore from the Qiankun Ring and found that three days had passed.

"Three days!"

With a sigh, Ye Xuan began to examine his injuries.

To his slight relief, what had been near-fatal injuries had recovered by thirty percent, giving him some combat capability. This was because the pills for replenishing Primordial Qi had been depleted; if someone had fed him the pills within these three days, the injuries could have likely recovered over fifty percent.

"I must recover my injuries quickly."

Ye Xuan struggled to support his body and sat cross-legged. The broken meridians in his body had been repaired in many places, and the most important thing was that the Spirit Ghost Emperor hadn't inflicted a fatal injury on him. In his current state, he should be able to fully recover after a few days of rest.

Ye Xuan's only thought now was to heal. Only after his injuries were recovered could he have the ability to protect himself and then find Ling Qianxue.

Since the Spirit Ghost Emperor hadn't captured him, it's highly likely that he would go after Ling Qianxue and her group, putting them in great danger.

A day passed quickly.

Ye Xuan's injuries had about eighty percent recovered.

Quietly sitting to heal, Ye Xuan's body remained motionless, like a statue, absorbing the surrounding energy of heaven and earth.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Ye Xuan sensed something and opened his eyes alertly.

"Is it Senior Sister Ling?"

Through the Human Emperor's Scepter and Earth Emperor Book, Ye Xuan could also sense the aura of the Heaven Emperor Mirror. Following that sense, he was able to see the beautiful woman outside, anxiously searching the surrounding area, seemingly also sensing him and moving towards his location.

"It's time to go out."

Ye Xuan's injuries couldn't fully recover in a short time, and now, Ling Qianxue had come over, undoubtedly allowing him to finally relax entirely.

PS: I was too busy yesterday and took a leave for one chapter; today I'll make it up.
