Chapter 467 - 408: Overestimating Oneself!

With the Divine Movement Talisman attached, Chu Huaixu, relying on his strong physique, was no slower than an ordinary Fifth Realm cultivator in flight.

In fact, at this moment, his running speed might even surpass the flight of the Big Ice Cube and Xiaoxu.

No spiritual power fluctuation came from behind, and Chu Huaixu couldn’t even detect a trace with his Divine Sense.

Clearly, the Black Moon Sect Leader was also a master in casting restrictions.

"However, my master did indeed say earlier that he was once drawn into a very peculiar array restriction by the Black Moon Sect Leader, making it impossible for him to escape in a short time," Chu Huaixu thought.

"And Xiahou Yue is the strongest in the Moon Country."

"Yet he dares to reveal himself so freely?"

"It seems he came prepared and is extremely confident."

This set off alarm bells in Chu Huaixu’s heart, giving him a bad premonition.

The only thing that made him slightly relieved was...

——"Luckily, I’m not familiar with Xiahou Yue either."

Having finished his unhuman muttering, he decided to speak humanly for a bit.

In any case, this National Guardian of the Moon Country ultimately demonstrated his dominance and responsibility.

Though Chu Huaixu held a grudge against him, he could distinguish between major concerns.

"But at this distance, the Communication Talisman still seems too far," he estimated.

In such a crisis, because of the Fearless Sword Intent, he didn’t feel much panic, his heart rate was low, and he couldn’t muster that urgency.

It would be better on Earth, where if you found your heart rate too low, you could order a cup of Bawang Cha Ji.

"Boom—!"

Chu Huaixu stepped on the branch of an ancient tree and leaped forward.

The immense force caused the branch to snap abruptly.

At this moment, he suddenly recalled something.

"Earlier, it was my master and the Sword Venerable who escorted Xiaoxu to the third level of the Origin Spirit Realm."

"After returning, everyone shared the specific details with each other."

"As they approached the Origin Spirit Realm, they sensed a fluctuation of the Power of Origin from afar."

"It seemed someone had been waiting there for a long time."

"However, after noticing them, that person left."

The Dead Fox connected the two incidents in his mind and raised a question mark.

"So, could the one waiting there have been the Black Moon Sect Leader?"

He thought it was a possibility.

Because the other party was obviously targeting him.

It seemed that upon seeing the arrival of Xu Ziqing, they left disappointed.

However, if this conjecture was indeed accurate...

"That’s too terrifying!" Chu Huaixu’s eyes narrowed, he couldn’t help but glance back.

He began to think that Xiahou Yue’s situation was likely quite dire!

The reason was simple; Xiaoxu’s "security team" heading to the Origin Spirit Realm was simply too dazzling.

Who were the ones serving as his security?

They were all the pinnacle existences of the East Continent!

Anyone picked out at random was a figure of formidable prowess.

When these people were together, they could decimate everything in their path.

Yet, under such circumstances, the Black Moon Sect Leader dared to lie in wait.

"What did he rely on?"

"Was it the Snow Venerable’s Primordial Spirit, or that eerie Black Banner?"

No matter what it was, he went anyway.

Chu Huaixu didn’t think the other party was rushing to his death.

Given this, the current Black Moon Sect Leader must be terrifyingly strong.

Even the currently world-dominating Sword Venerable was not feared by him, so naturally, Xiahou Yue was no match!

"Could old Xia really be finished?" Chu Huaixu’s heart sank.

...

...

"Puff—!"

High above the heavens, Xiahou Yue suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

He flew backward, severely injured.

At this very moment, just like that previous moment.

The angle and posture of his flight were strikingly similar to when he sparred with Chu Huaixu in the Daoist Sect.

It was incredibly coincidental.

The gold armor on the National Guardian’s body even showed clear cracks.

Although it quickly self-repaired, it still startled him.

"How could this be!"

The opponent’s strength exceeded his imagination.

"What was that just now."

"My [Domain] was directly pierced!" He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

The Black Moon Sect Leader, holding the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, was already possessed by the Snow Venerable.

This former Immortal Venerable of Kunlun Cave Heaven had eyes filled with endless desolation and indifference.

He replied indifferently:

"That naturally is the supreme Immortal Technique of my Kunlun Cave Heaven."

Xiahou Yue noticed that some strands of hair were exposed from the other’s cloak, and found they had all turned snow-white.

This was different from an ordinary person’s silver strands.

As white as snow.

In fact, the eyebrows under the mask, and even the eyelashes, had turned snow-colored at this moment.

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner billowed with black smoke, with overwhelming evil qi and resentment emanating from it, seemingly covering half of the sky.

With every step Snow Venerable took forward, a large snowflake condensed in the air, supporting his feet.

These palm-sized snowflakes emitted a faint glow.

Once they gathered together, they seemed to contain the power of an Array.

He obviously did not intentionally form an Array, merely naturally walked forward.

Yet they just gathered into an Array!

Snow Venerable’s position floating in the air was higher, and he looked down at Xiahou Yue, saying lightly:

"The Domain of your Profound Yellow Realm appears to be just so."

"Seemingly profound, yet actually full of evident flaws."

"If not for the Power of the Heavenly Dao of your Profound Yellow Realm restraining this venerable, that casual flick of my finger could have claimed your life."

Xiahou Yue gripped his long spear tightly, yet the determination in his gaze became more vigorous.

He did not refute the other’s words.

Because he knew clearly, the other was not wrong.

"It’s been a long time since I encountered a worthy opponent." Xiahou Yue instead let out a hearty laugh.

Previously, when Sword Venerable entered the Ninth Realm and used the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root in the Imperial Capital,

everyone was only competing in strength, not engaging in a proper battle.

Xiahou Yue, as the strongest of the Moon Country, indeed had not met anyone who could make him fight with full strength for a long time.

Moreover, it was a damn cultivator!

"Presumptuous." Snow Venerable said indifferently.

The moment his words fell, his figure instantly moved before Xiahou Yue.

Xiahou Yue had no time to lift his spear to block.

The same position on the golden armor was again lightly tapped by that finger.

He immediately flew backward, this time the cracked golden armor did not restore, shattering into pieces.

The opponent clearly used the same trick, yet he was unable to find a solution.

This felt more like humiliation.

"Even possessing a trace of Power of Origin, what could it amount to." Snow Venerable sneered.

"A trace is too little, truly too little."

"You cultivators simply do not understand what the Heavenly Dao is, what rules are!"

He looked down on this National Guardian of the Moon Country.

In reality, the Black Moon Sect Leader, who lost control over his body, was already anxious.

But he knew this was the old thing’s strategy.

He was merely bluffing.

Pseudo Realm, after all, is just a Pseudo Realm.

Even if Snow Venerable’s Primordial Spirit was attached, the move just utilized could be used at most three times.

Moreover, he must endure backlash and restriction from the Heavenly Dao.

To put it simply, his mana bar now only had a third remaining.

Snow Venerable looked at Xiahou Yue, continued to speak:

"Today, I have come to seek out Chu Huaixu, thus I spare your life."

After speaking, he suddenly stepped forward, the palm-sized snowflakes underfoot instantly shattered.

His figure was about to vanish, again performing a spell similar to instant movement.

However, at the next moment.

Xiahou Yue, from unknown power, erupted, the long spear in his hand could surprisingly capture the trajectory of Snow Venerable.

"Courting death!" Snow Venerable shouted sternly.

He raised his left hand, pointed forward.

Xiahou Yue’s abdomen instantly opened into a large hole.

After the obstruction was gone, Snow Venerable’s figure instantly vanished.

But the face beneath the mask was especially menacing.

He was now quite weakened.

That last finger, though intentionally restrained, the force he could muster was nearly exhausted.

"Fortunately that Chu Huaixu merely has Fourth Realm cultivation."

With the remaining strength, even if he is only in the Fourth Realm.

Ordinary individuals newly entering the Ninth Realm would still suffer injuries!

"Chu Huaixu——!"

The voice, like thunder, exploded behind Chu Huaixu.

Like a god from the ninth heaven issuing a decree.

Snow Venerable did not use the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, for he knew this young man restrained soul bodies.

He raised his left hand, again extended a finger.

Chu Huaixu couldn’t help but have his pupils widen, facing the seemingly world-destroying power, entirely unavoidable.

And at that moment, he heard a familiar voice.

"Kan Position, shadow exchange."

In the next moment, Chu Huaixu’s body was pulled several miles away.

A figure clad in a State Preceptor’s robe appeared at the spot where he was previously.

Snow Venerable’s finger instantaneously penetrated that woman, habitually bare-footed with jade.
