"Ha ha, the Demon Emperor is indeed on that kid; otherwise, his speed wouldn't have suddenly increased. If we could understand the previous change in direction, then this sudden increase in speed indicates that he has discovered me. At this distance, only a King-Level Expert could sense it."
Li Yun was not angry at Ren Pingsheng's acceleration; instead, he laughed excitedly. Compared to the Heritage and King's Artifact, what he truly valued was the Demon Emperor, the ruler who once achieved remarkable feats by fighting three opponents at once. Even after two thousand years, he remained a powerful figure in the world.
"Ren Pingsheng, the Demon Emperor is mine; you can't escape." He laughed in the air while chasing. Even though Ren Pingsheng's speed had surged significantly, he was still just a bit slower than him. He believed that Ren Pingsheng couldn't hold out for long and would eventually be caught.
The three parties continued their chase, one pursuing and the other fleeing. Time slowly passed.
The Battle at the Sword King Tomb had ended, with countless warriors having perished. The so-called King's Artifact ultimately fell into the hands of a sect-level expert. The elder known as Qiao Lao, after receiving a palm strike from a sect-level expert, miraculously survived but was severely injured.
As for those outside the five major sects, more than half of the warriors who emerged from the Sword King Tomb had died. Some fortunate ones managed to leave under the protection of their own Supreme Expert. Surprisingly, the four individuals who obtained the Heritage within the Sword King Tomb all left unscathed. Perhaps decades or even centuries later, they would have grown into formidable figures.
Outside the Sword King Tomb, it had turned into a sea of blood, filled with murderous intent. Warriors with slightly weaker cultivation dared not approach. Just catching a glimpse from afar sent chills down their spines. This time, the events at the Sword King Tomb came to an end, and as for who obtained the Heritage, perhaps only time would tell.
"Princess, shall we leave now?" The elder known as Qiao Lao asked weakly.
"Yes, there is no need to stay any longer; everyone else has left as well. It's a pity that those who came this time have all died." Chu Yanran said flatly, showing no signs of emotion. It seemed she felt no sorrow for the deaths of her companions who had come with her.
"Alright, it's just that I haven't seen Ren Pingsheng; I don't know if he is dead or alive. I wonder what will happen when we return! Of course, maybe by then, the Sovereign will have resolved everything."
The three of them had little to pack up; they prepared some food and drink for the journey and left Cloud Hidden City. Many other warriors left as well, and the city quickly fell silent after being bustling with activity.
"Ren Brother, regardless of what happens this time, I owe you one. When I become a King-Level Expert, I will take revenge for you; it will also repay your kindness in giving me the Inheritance Seed." Chu Yanran took one last look in the direction of the Sword King Tomb, her expression dimming momentarily before she regained her composure.
"Young Master, let’s leave as well. The Heritage has been obtained; we've been gone long enough; it’s time to return." An elderly man with white hair said cheerfully.
"Let's go; I just wonder how Ren Pingsheng is doing. Such a good opponent; I hope he is alright!" Situ Kong stood outside Cloud Hidden City, dazed for a moment before leaving.
"Ah... where are you, Ren Pingsheng? I want to kill you!" Not far from the Sword King Tomb, someone shouted like a madman. It was none other than Chu Yuan's father, Chu Longxiang.
He had always wanted to kill Ren Pingsheng, but was inexplicably stopped by someone. When everyone rushed to seize the King's Artifact, he found that Ren Pingsheng had vanished. Unfortunately, by the time he realized it, it was already too late. Ren Pingsheng had long escaped several dozen miles away, beyond his sensing range.
As for what happened inside the Sword King Tomb, all of the Heritage and the emergence of the King's Artifact attracted much attention. This time at the Sword King Tomb was extraordinarily unusual. A total of one hundred and eight King's Artifacts appeared alongside thirty-six types of Heritage. After this news spread, it sparked a wave of searches for both the Heritage and the King's Artifact.
However, with such vastness in the Eastern Region, where could one possibly search amidst such a sea of people?
Two days had passed in the blink of an eye, and Ren Pingsheng, with a somewhat pale face, was maneuvering the flying artifact. Even though the Gathering Spirit Array continuously supplied True Qi, no one could endure such a long period without rest while maintaining a state of intense concentration.
Not to mention him, the Heavenly Evil Sect Young Master and his companions looked even worse. The quality of their flying artifacts was not very good, and maintaining such high-intensity flight was causing increasing wear and tear. They didn't know when their artifact would break down, yet they continued to pursue Ren Pingsheng.
"This damn kid has actually held on for two days without stopping," Tian Xie muttered angrily. He hated Ren Pingsheng to the core and wished he could catch up to him soon to seize the Heritage.
"He must have used a large amount of Spirit Stones; it's just that I don't know how he is converting them. Normally, absorbing True Qi from Spirit Stones isn't fast. We can barely keep up by taking turns," said the elderly man controlling the flying artifact, sounding somewhat puzzled.
"Hmph, who cares about that? Maybe he's already at his limit. Let's hold on a bit longer. I hope this flying artifact can last," Tian Xie said as he took out a batch of Spirit Stones with some pain in his heart.
"Oh, he has actually held on for so long; this guy is quite capable," Li Yun remarked, his expression not looking good either. Even at full speed for two days, he was feeling exhausted.
Originally, they could have caught up quickly, but now two days had passed. Although the gap had narrowed by nearly half, at this rate, it was likely they wouldn't catch up even in another two days.
"Hmph, I don't believe you can keep this up forever. Once your spirit is exhausted and your True Qi runs out, dealing with you will be much easier," he thought bitterly while maintaining his speed in the air.
"I never expected their patience to be so great; they are still chasing me. It seems they are determined to get what I have!" Ren Pingsheng muttered with a wry smile.
"Hehe, King-Level Inheritance and King's Artifact are indeed valuable things. It's only natural for them to pursue you relentlessly. But you still have no clue about this sect-level expert?" the Demon Emperor said with a smile.
"I have some ideas; this person must be someone I know or someone familiar with me. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to tamper with me without my knowledge."
"To be able to approach you and make you unaware of it, I suspect it's someone from Great Chu Academy. Only there could such an expert exist who could meddle with you."
"Yes, I also guessed that. A powerful figure from Great Chu Academy wanting to secretly tamper with me must be something I obtained from there. It's highly likely that's it." As Ren Pingsheng thought about it, the Identity Jade Token appeared in his hand.
"Not bad; I didn't sense anything before, but as soon as you took it out, I felt something. This thing has definitely been tampered with. I'll help you remove it; hopefully, we can shake off that sect-level expert," the Demon Emperor said confidently. Then the Jade Tablet flew in front of him without any visible action. The Jade Tablet suddenly lit up brightly, and after a few breaths, there seemed to be some shattering sounds. The Jade Tablet returned to its original state.
"Ha... this Soul body really can't hold up; the limitations are too great and the consumption too high; otherwise, I would have discovered this thing long ago. Moving in this direction should help us shake him off."
"Yes, but if this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on much longer," Ren Pingsheng said wearily as he changed direction.
"Escape as far as you can; we need to get rid of this sect-level expert before thinking of other methods."
"Damn it! How could that little thief discover it? That's impossible." As the tampering in the Jade Tablet disappeared, Li Yun behind them sensed something and shouted in shock. "It must be the Demon Emperor; otherwise, he wouldn't have discovered it. Even if he did discover it, he wouldn't be able to destroy it."
"Damn it! Even if it costs me some cultivation level, I won't let you escape." He paused for a moment, hesitating slightly before suddenly emitting a strange wave of energy from his body. Then he vanished entirely, and his speed surged threefold.
This state lasted only a minute, but the distance of over two hundred fifty miles was suddenly reduced to two hundred miles. Although there was a slight delay due to Ren Pingsheng's sudden turn, once he reacted, the distance between the two was only about forty miles.
"This is troublesome; this level of expert actually has such secret techniques. How long can it last?" Demon Emperor sighed.
Ren Pingsheng remained expressionless and said nothing, merely focusing on controlling the flying artifact, consuming piles of Spirit Stones continuously.
"Yes, this way. There seems to be a dense concentration of Demonic Energy over there. If that's the case, there might still be hope," Demon Emperor suddenly spoke up after a while, his expression somewhat excited.
Ren Pingsheng's expression shifted as he changed direction and flew toward the location indicated by Demon Emperor.
"This place is...? If I remember correctly, this should be one of the three forbidden areas of Snow State, the Abyss of Demons." He muttered to himself. After about five hours, the flying artifact came to a stop in mid-air. Ahead was swirling black mist, boundless and without end. The depth of that abyss was unknown, and what lay below was uncertain.
"This is it; it seems there's no way to escape now." Ren Pingsheng glanced ahead, completely blocked by the Abyss of Demons, leaving no room for retreat.
He didn't have time to dwell on this forbidden area and immediately began to recover his True Qi. After three days of relentless bombardment by massive amounts of Spiritual Energy, his physical injuries had healed. However, his True Qi had been significantly depleted.
"This place is good; with such abundant Demonic Energy, my strength should be able to manifest quite a bit," Demon Emperor said with satisfaction.
"Let's hope so; this is a desperate situation. There's a forbidden area blocking our path in front, and behind us are the Supreme Expert and sect-level experts seeking our lives. If you can't be relied upon, we might be in danger."
As soon as he finished speaking, the three members of the Heavenly Evil Sect Young Master caught up from behind. They were not far away originally, only about six or seven miles away, so they arrived quickly.
