Chapter 491 - 489: Return Damage?

Chapter 491: Chapter 489: Return Damage?

Half a day later.

Evening had fallen.

Even more soldiers had appeared than before, led by an old man in a Dragon Robe.

"The smell of blood is so thick. Are those parcels in their hands... the guys who provoked me?"

"Why are there hundreds of them?"

Zhu Yuan whispered to Su Qing, her voice filled with confusion.

Su Qing chuckled softly. "It’s about time we left. We’ve seen enough. Besides, the area around the Taichu Daoist Palace is pretty similar to this."

"Once your injuries are healed, you can wander around as you please."

"Mm, let’s go."

Zhu Yuan nodded. She didn’t want to deal with these matters either, and she could sense that Su Qing couldn’t care less about what was happening.

"Immortal."

All the soldiers knelt. The old man in the Dragon Robe, who had been driving the carriage,

did not kneel.

His solemn gaze met Su Qing’s indifferent one.

His heart wavered.

Su Qing spoke, "You seek Longevity?"

"You have to find it yourself. Begging others is useless, and begging me is useless too."

"The ruler of a nation, heh~"

It wasn’t a laugh of ridicule, but one of contempt.

’So what if he’s the ruler of a nation?’

’As long as he hasn’t achieved the extraordinary, he’s nothing but an ant. After a mere hundred years, he’ll be nothing but a pile of dust.’

Su Qing grabbed Zhu Yuan’s arm with one hand.

In an instant, he used Flying Escape to leave.

In the eyes of the mortals, the two Immortals had flown into the sky.

In truth, none of them knew how Su Qing had departed.

They only knew that the two Immortals had vanished.

Only the ruler of the nation, his longing for the Immortals now a burning desire, resolved to become an Immortal himself, intending to use the power of his entire country to achieve it.

...

「Meanwhile.」

Su Qing and Zhu Yuan had already appeared in the Southern Domain Cosmos.

They were currently using Flying Escape at high speed.

But after flying for just a short while,

Zhu Yuan spat out a mouthful of silvery blood, startling Su Qing into an abrupt stop.

"Are you all right?"

"To think you’re so badly injured."

Su Qing immediately collected Zhu Yuan’s blood.

’This is the blood of a Candle Dragon.’

’It contains a dense Power of Time.’

"I’m fine. My physical body just can’t handle such a high-speed Flying Escape right now." Zhu Yuan recovered a little, speaking with a wry smile.

Just now, when Su Qing had carried her with Flying Escape,

the speed and pressure had been truly immense.

Ever since she was injured, she had been fundamentally unable to fly at high speeds.

This was also the reason she had stayed on that remote planet.

Her injuries were severe.

There was nothing Su Qing could do about Zhu Yuan’s condition either.

’A Time Dragon... I don’t know if Elixirs can even restore her condition.’

Nevertheless, Su Qing stopped flying.

"We need to leave quickly, Su Qing."

"I can feel him searching for me."

Zhu Yuan frowned, a sense of crisis rising in her heart.

A very strong sense of crisis.

"Don’t worry."

"As long as a Thirteenth Realm being doesn’t show up, I can protect you."

But he couldn’t keep traveling with Zhu Yuan; given her condition, she wouldn’t last long.

And so,

Su Qing summoned his Profound Immortal Sword, having it circle around Zhu Yuan.

"Don’t worry."

"Just give me a moment."

Su Qing did have a Flying Shuttle in his Micro Acupoint,

but it wasn’t fast.

’Actually, I can’t really call it a Flying Shuttle anymore.’

’It’s been so long since I’ve used something like this.’

Some materials appeared in his hands, and he began to continuously refine a small Flying Shuttle.

To make it easier to control, Su Qing had to do a better job.

It needed simple controls.

And then there was the matter of Energy consumption.

Su Qing needed to synthesize it all with Standardization.

It was actually very easy to make a Tier Ten Flying Shuttle.

But Standardization was a different matter.

It required a few more Flying Shuttles.

In the Cosmos, Zhu Yuan stared blankly as the materials in Su Qing’s hands constantly shifted, then formed into a small Flying Shuttle.

But Su Qing’s expression didn’t seem very pleased.

After watching him create dozens of Flying Shuttles,

nearly a full Taichu Month had passed.

Fortunately, the Profound Immortal Sword gave Zhu Yuan a great sense of security.

It was a Tier Thirteen Dao Artifact, after all.

Otherwise, Zhu Yuan would have wanted to flee back to the planet and lie low.

Finally, a smile appeared on Su Qing’s face.

A small object had appeared in his hand.

[Little Flying Car: Tier Thirteen Dao Artifact. Named and controlled by the Host. A Flying Shuttle with speed comparable to a nascent Thirteenth Realm being.... (Energy consumption reduced by 10,000 times)]

[Synthesizable]

"Not bad."

Su Qing was just about to release it,

when his Profound Immortal Sword suddenly made a move.

Or rather, Su Qing had discovered someone’s presence.

They were here for Zhu Yuan.

The Profound Immortal Sword moved, and in an instant, a long gash was cut across the opponent’s chest.

It was a gigantic beast.

A massive, hog-like beast with a wide mouth and an enormous body.

Yet it was a creature of extremely high intelligence.

It stared greedily at Zhu Yuan.

"A Candle Dragon... I’ve never eaten a Candle Dragon before."

"I hear they’re delicious."

A type of power appeared in the creature’s grasp, which it then covered its wound with, attempting to heal it.

’It’s just a wound from a mere sharp weapon.’

’It only managed to injure me by accident.’

"Hm?"

The next moment, it discovered to its utter astonishment that its wound could not be healed.

Moreover, it could feel multiple, indescribable powers festering in its chest.

"Zhu Yuan, is this the one that injured you?" Su Qing asked, a little puzzled.

’It’s only at the Eleventh Realm.’

’How could it injure a pure-blooded Time Dragon?’

"That’s right. Be careful of its ability. It has a Magic that can reflect any damage it receives."

Even as Zhu Yuan was speaking,

the beast-like creature already activated this ability.

A powerful, distorting force appeared around its body.

Seeing this move again, Zhu Yuan hurriedly warned, "Be careful! It’s about to use it!"

However, while the distorting force appeared,

the reflected power never materialized.

Su Qing chuckled softly. "Its Magic has its limits."

Su Qing could clearly sense that his opponent had been injured.

’An Eleventh Realm trying to reflect damage back to a Twelfth Realm Cultivator...’

’It suffered a backlash.’

At that moment, the giant, hog-like beast was overcome with fear.

It only wanted to taste a mouthful of Candle Dragon flesh; it didn’t want to lose its life.

Using its Magic had resulted in a backlash.

If it didn’t run now, it would be too late.

Almost immediately after suffering the backlash, it fled.

But Su Qing wasn’t about to let it go so easily.

"Trying to run? But I’ve already made contact with you."

"How could you possibly get away?"

Su Qing murmured under his breath.

"Causal Touch."

Su Qing once again used the Magic known as Causal Touch.

His target was the giant hog he had just encountered.

A scene resembling a comparison of causal weight appeared once more.

Su Qing threw an Earth Great Immortal into one of the tentacles.

The weight of the Earth Great Immortal instantly overwhelmed the opponent’s.

’Standardized things are just that powerful.’

The causal weight judgment was a success.

Next up was the execution.

From his perspective, Su Qing watched as all of the opponent’s life-saving measures dissipated completely.

Including the opponent itself.

All of it was crushed by the heavy weight of causality.

"What a Magic."

Su Qing smiled in satisfaction.

He returned to his real perspective.

"It ran away!"

"Su Qing, you’re amazing! It was actually afraid of you."

Zhu Yuan laughed.

Su Qing said softly, "Mm, it’s fine. You can get your revenge for this yourself in the future."

Afterward, Su Qing released the Little Flying Car from his hand, and it suddenly grew in size.

"Get on the Flying Shuttle. The Space inside is huge."

Zhu Yuan nodded. ’Su Qing is really reliable. I never thought he’d be able to refine a Dao Artifact.’

’If those old geezers from the Mountain Sea Realm knew he could casually refine a Tier Ten Dao Artifact...’

’...they’d probably all be begging him to refine Dao Artifacts for them.’

’Although, this Flying Shuttle doesn’t feel like a Tier Ten Dao Artifact.’

Upon entering, she found herself in a huge Space filled with many decorations, giving it a very dreamlike appearance.

Su Qing followed her in.

He said to Zhu Yuan, "Zhu Yuan, go find a place to rest. We’ll be able to return to the Taichu Daoist Palace in a little while."

"Okay, I’ll go rest for a bit."

Zhu Yuan knew her injuries were too severe. ’Once I get back to the Taichu Daoist Palace, I’ll ask the clan elders for help.’
