Only to see his figure flicker, a "Teleportation" and he appeared a hundred miles away. Subsequently, without pausing, he continuously consumed his lifebound essence to repeatedly use the "Teleportation" Divine Skill, completely leaving Zhou Chunâs divine sense range after a few flashes.
Seeing this, Zhou Chunâs gaze flickered slightly, and he immediately sent King of Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai to chase in the direction of his escape.
Certainly, chasing like this wouldnât catch up.
But Zhou Chun just didnât want him to escape too easily.
Since this time, he had thoroughly offended him, it was naturally best to maximize his losses.
Each time he used the "Teleportation" Divine Skill now, it might consume decades of his lifespan!
Once Ziyang True Personâs nascent soul origin is overly depleted, how long he can live after returning to the sect is unknown.
After all, he himself was not young, having formed his nascent soul nearly a thousand years ago!
And after dispatching King of Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai to pursue Ziyang True Personâs nascent soul, Zhou Chun himself forcibly suppressed and sealed away the struggling [Sunflame Treasure Mirror].
Then he collected Ziyang True Personâs initially abandoned peerless dharma treasure [Red Fang Sword] and storage pouch, among other items, even the almost lifeless body.
In this battle, although Ziyang True Person successfully escaped with his nascent soul, the treasures he left behind allowed Zhou Chun to reap a huge harvest.
Especially the Sunflame Sect Heritage Spiritual Treasure [Sunflame Treasure Mirror] and the peerless dharma treasure [Red Fang Sword], which alleviated his urgent needs.
If these two treasures were refined by the Flame Prison Phoenix, crossing the heavenly thunder tribulation should no longer be an issue.
Moreover, in his haste to flee, Ziyang True Person didnât even manage to take his storage pouch with him, leaving several magical treasures on the body, which was quite a gain.
After carefully securing all these items, Zhou Chun gathered the severely injured fourth-order spirit pets, then turned his gaze to the Youquan Lake below.
By careful calculation, itâs been nearly a quarter of an hour since Tianjing True Person revealed his true identity.
In such a long time, Yinyue True Person still hadnât escaped, suggesting Tianjing True Person hadnât wasted his years.
There were probably many preparations made at the bottom of the Youquan Lake long ago.
Unfortunately, now the bottom of the lake was ghostly, and even he, a nascent soul stage cultivator, couldnât see what was happening below, except for occasionally exploding silver gleams.
But this was all he was going to do.
He certainly wouldnât go down to help Tianjing True Person deal with Yinyue True Person.
After all, joining forces with Tianjing True Person probably wouldnât be able to kill Yinyue True Person.
This was something he became even more certain of after the earlier encounter with Ziyang True Person.
The "Teleportation" Divine Skill of the nascent soul stage cultivator is indeed a lifesaving tool, impossible for an ordinary cultivator to catch up with.
If they couldnât kill Yinyue True Person and he escaped like Ziyang True Person, heavens knew whether heâd furiously unleash the Moon Wheel Sectâs treasured artifact and bloodbath the Zhou Family in the Green Lotus Mountain Range!
So having fulfilled his promise to Tianjing True Person now, he only needed to observe from a distance.
After waiting for about half a quarter of an hour, Zhou Chunâs expression suddenly changed, and he hastily retreated at speed with the already stopped pursuing King of Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai.
Rumble!
Just as Zhou Chun and his companion retreated, a violent explosion erupted from below.
The water of Youquan Lake formed a gigantic mushroom cloud of water, towering hundreds of feet into the sky!
"This is... could it be a nascent soul self-destruct?"
Zhou Chunâs expression changed drastically, exclaiming uncontrollably.
Such a scene, it was his first time witnessing something like it.
If he hadnât retreated fast enough, he might have ended up covered in soot.
And this level of explosive power, besides the legendary nascent soul self-destruct, Zhou Chun couldnât imagine what else could have been done by the two below.
So who was it that self-destructed their nascent soul?
This answer Zhou Chun quickly found out.
Just as the giant mushroom cloud of water hadnât dissipated, a silver moonlight soared from below, rapidly fleeing towards Jingguo Country.
Faintly, Zhou Chun saw Yinyue True Person within the enveloping silver moonlight, stained with fresh blood.
Tianjing True Person had long lost his physical body, having transformed into a ghost path nascent soul, so it couldnât possibly bleed.
Thus, it was obvious where those bloodstains came from.
This result left Zhou Chun deeply shocked.
For a nascent soul self-destruct was no joking matter.
If an early nascent soul cultivator self-destructs their nascent soul, even a late-stage one might get severely injured if they donât dodge in time.
But although Yinyue True Person appeared quite injured, his body evidently didnât suffer irreparable damage.
This either meant he avoided the explosionâs center or had tremendously powerful life-saving measures.
Either way, it demonstrated his immense strength.
Zhou Chun felt all the more fortunate for not intervening in the twoâs battle earlier, avoiding deep entanglement.
As for the current result, regardless of Tianjing True Personâs satisfaction, Zhou Chun was perfectly content.
He waited for the Youquan Lakeâs waves to subside somewhat, intending to check on Tianjing True Personâs situation.
Among other things, he was rather interested in Tianjing True Personâs puppet body.
But as he dove down a certain distance, he swiftly retreated and left the place in haste.
For only then did he discover that the explosion had already destroyed the Yin Fiend Spring Eye below, causing the Yin Sha leyline to begin collapsing.
Under such circumstances, even if there were remnants of the puppet body, it was likely worthless.
Moreover, the worst part was that the surrounding thousand mile radius would likely become a ghostly wilderness, riddled with the Energy of Yin Fiend.
Though the Energy of Yin Fiend would gradually dissipate, recovering the present vitality and prosperity would be difficult, likely turning into a desolate lifeless desert like the Lifeless Desert.
This immense causality was something Zhou Chun wanted no part of, leaving it for the major sects of Fengguo like Jingyang Sect to deal with!
After smartly withdrawing, Zhou Chun soon returned to the Green Lotus Mountain Range.
At this moment, the news of the earth-shattering battle in Fengguo hadnât reached Jingguo Country, as the three involved were either busy healing or avoiding publicity, as if nothing had happened.
However, Zhou Chun still briefly explained the battle situation to Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi, advising them to remind the familyâs Golden Core Elders not to leave the mountain gate, in case of retaliation from the Moon Wheel Sect and Sunflame Sect cultivators.
He estimated that the two sects wouldnât publicize the matter widely, as doing so would only inflate the menacing reputation of Zhou Zhengchun, worsening their ability to harm him in Jingguo.
Most likely, they would swallow this humiliation for now, and seek trouble after healing their wounds.
By that time, however, his Flame Prison Phoenix would have already successfully crossed the tribulation, making it difficult for the two sects to do anything even if they joined forces.
So now, Zhou Chun was not worried at all, calmly biding his time.
After explaining the situation, he began to tally up his gains.
As a leading cultivator of the Sunflame Sect, Ziyang True Person naturally possessed many good things.
Aside from the spiritual treasure [Sunflame Treasure Mirror] and the peerless dharma treasure [Red Fang Sword], there was a high-grade magical treasure defensive inner armor, an exquisite jade pendant-shaped high-grade defensive magical treasure, and a middle-grade magical treasure spiritual pearl that facilitates clear-heartedness, among others.
However, except for the spiritual pearl, the other magical treasures were significantly damaged in the fight, with even several high-grade magical treasures destroyed in the battle.
Fortunately, Ziyang True Personâs storage pouch could serve as compensation.
After spending some effort breaking the restrictions on Ziyang True Personâs storage pouch, the contents within instantly brought a smile to Zhou Chunâs face.
As he thought, Ziyang True Person, as the leading cultivator of Sunflame Sect, had indeed stored many precious items within.
Evidently, this nascent soul stage cultivator with a spiritual treasure hadnât considered dying outside much.
Or perhaps he didnât feel at ease not having certain rare items on him!
