High-Level Martial Era

Chapter 1605: Chapter 709: Prey? Or Hunter!

“Heart Source Quasi-Saint? Are you sure it’s him?”

“Thousands of us Quasi-Saints descended to find him over two thousand years, and no one succeeded, and we just stumbled upon him? Are we that lucky?” said the two accompanying Quasi-Saints incredulously.

“It’s him! I’m sure!”

“You should know that I’ve fought him before and am very familiar with his soul aura,” Xu Yao Quasi-Saint gritted his teeth and said, “There is no mistake, it’s him… he just appeared out of thin air, he should have just come out of a Divine Palace.”

“It seems that not finding him for these two thousand years, as Huo Xing Quasi-Saint and others guessed, he should have been inside a Divine Palace.”

Back then, being forced by Li Yuan and Di Kun Quasi-Saint to use a Space-Time Treasure, Xu Yao Quasi-Saint still feels pained to this day.

After the Green Immortal Saint Ancestor and Yu Mountain Saint Ancestor issued a hunt order, many Quasi-Saints from Immortal Spirit Star City came… Xu Yao Quasi-Saint returned his treasures to Star City, and then this true body came back again.

He is eager for revenge.

“Surviving coming out of the Divine Palace, he must have obtained treasures?”

“Forget other treasures, just the Emperor Weapon that Heart Source Quasi-Saint carries is very valuable.” Xu Yao Quasi-Saint’s words made the two Quasi-Saints beside him tempted.

Being able to travel with Xu Yao Quasi-Saint this time, both of them are also Fifth Rank Quasi-Saints.

“Zhen Yun, Ling Qi… we must be careful.” Xu Yao Quasi-Saint said in a low voice, “Given Heart Source Quasi-Saint’s growth speed, unchanged in two thousand years, his strength must have improved, we should alert other Huo Xing.”

Though yearning for revenge, Xu Yao Quasi-Saint is very cautious.

But just as he finished speaking.

“He’s running.”

“Heart Source ran… Xu Yao, stop guessing, let’s hurry and chase, don’t let him get away.” Zhen Yun Quasi-Saint and Ling Qi Quasi-Saint quickly said.

Bang! Boom! The two instantly transformed into two streams of light, rushing toward Li Yuan’s fleeing direction.

“Ran away?”

“This Heart Source doesn’t even dare to fight us?” Xu Yao Quasi-Saint was momentarily stunned, a doubt flashed in his mind, “Could it be I was wrong, that in these two thousand years, Heart Source Quasi-Saint’s strength hasn’t improved much?”

“Seems I was too cautious.”

“Indeed, with normal cultivation, even in two hundred thousand years, how much change could there be?”

Xu Yao Quasi-Saint didn’t hesitate any longer, also transforming into a stream of light and chased out.

“Heart Source, don’t run!” Xu Yao Quasi-Saint soared into the sky, continually transmitting voices, “Stop and hand over all your treasures, and I’ll give you a quick end.”

…

The three Quasi-Saints pursued fiercely from behind, while Li Yuan looked ’panic-stricken’ as he desperately fled ahead, but in truth, his heart remained calm.

“Upon coming out, I ran into three Quasi-Saints, one even an old acquaintance.”

“Looking at the entire Hundred Gods Palace, how many Quasi-Saints from Immortal Court are there? And many are probably guarding inside the Divine Wheel Sea.” Li Yuan thought silently.

Entering the Hundred Gods Palace, there are three routes, the most common being the Space Vortex below the Hundred Divine Wheels, and the other two channels are in the Divine Wheel Sea, which are even more dangerous…

However, there are more exits when leaving the Hundred Gods Palace, as long as you enter the Space Spring, you’ll randomly appear in different parts of the Divine Wheel Sea.

Therefore, to ensure failure is impossible when intercepting Li Yuan, vast numbers of Quasi-Saints must be dispatched to patrol the Divine Wheel Sea… the total number of Quasi-Saints is surely astonishing.

“Immortal Court, to kill both of my true bodies, paid such a high price, how can I let you down?” A cold gleam skittered deep in Li Yuan’s eyes.

If Immortal Court no longer provoked him, Li Yuan wasn’t inclined to intentionally cause trouble in return.

As time flows, having crossed into the God King Realm, Li Yuan’s horizons are broader, and he no longer cares about some past affairs.

However, as Immortal Court repeatedly targeted him, even a saint has some fire, let alone Li Yuan?

“Perhaps!”

“However high Immortal Court’s upper echelons estimate me, they probably couldn’t imagine my current strength, in a pure World Dao state at the Second Step, yet in frontal combat, not even at the Sixth Rank Quasi-Saint level,” Li Yuan silently mused, “But in reality? If I unleash my full strength, I’ll only frighten away a large number of Immortal Court Quasi-Saints…”

“Take it slow.”

“Draw them all in first… then fully unleash my strength and slaughter all.” Li Yuan’s eyes turned icy, “The Quasi-Saints daring to chase me into the Divine Wheel Sea should at least be Fourth Rank Quasi-Saints, even if they haven’t brought treasured relics, just the normal use of their God King Weapon is generally not of low value.”

Earlier, after purchasing Emperor Weapons and abundant cultivation resources, Li Yuan had nearly exhausted all his resources since becoming a Heavenly Divine.

The remaining Eternal Crystals are already scarce.

And the soon-to-be-practiced Body Refining Technique “Hundred Paths Sacred Body” requires a large number of exotic treasures, Li Yuan is indeed short on treasures and Eternal Crystals.

Just right, retrieve them from Immortal Court’s powerful figures.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan continued flying forward, revealing flight speed that happened to be just a tiny bit faster than the fastest of the three Quasi-Saints, Zhen Yun Quasi-Saint.

Immediately, Zhen Yun Quasi-Saint became anxious.

“I can’t fly faster than him.”

“His strength has indeed improved, at least his flight speed is faster than the information reports, the progress is too fast.” Xu Yao Quasi-Saint assessed.

“At this rate, we can’t catch up. If he escapes to the Space Spring, leaves the Hundred Gods Palace, it will be troublesome to find him again… someone must stop him.” Ling Qi Quasi-Saint urgently said.

“Quick, send a message to other Quasi-Saints, confirm his position, and intercept him ahead.”

“Send a message.” Xu Yao Quasi-Saint and Zhen Yun Quasi-Saint didn’t hesitate to start sending messages, indeed they wanted to capture Li Yuan themselves, as this would be a great achievement, directly rewarded with an Emperor Weapon by the higher-ups.

But seeing they couldn’t catch up, naturally, they had to settle for second best.
