Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Chapter 245 Teleportation

Thousands of feet in the sky, two blood-red lights, nearly a thousand feet apart, passed by one another at an extremely astonishing speed and escaped towards the distant horizon.

The blood-red light ahead broke through all the clouds and strong winds it encountered along the way with a brutal attitude, like a meteor that could not be stopped, and destruction was its only fate.

However, the blood-colored escape light behind was much more agile, swimming freely in the air like a fish, nimbly bypassing all obstacles and chasing relentlessly, shortening the distance between it and the blood-colored escape light in front little by little.

Chen Yuan stood on the Duyun Boat with a very solemn expression on his face, not even bothering to look back to check on Liu Fan's situation.

According to the secret technique he got from the memory of Master Qing You, he combined the Blood Escape Technique with the flying magic weapon. His escape speed increased dramatically, comparable to that of a cultivator in the middle stage of the Jindan period. However, his spiritual awareness was only at the level of a foundation-building cultivator, making it difficult for him to control the Duyun Boat at such a high speed.

He could only let the Duyun Boat fly forward, unable to change direction or even stop.

In addition, the speed at which Chen Yuan's internal energy was consumed increased dramatically. In less than a quarter of an hour, 70% of it was consumed.

But in order to maintain his speed, he could only continue to inject true energy into the Duyun Boat.

Soon, less than 20% of Chen Yuan's true energy remained.

He gritted his teeth, took out two high-quality fire-attribute spirit stones, held one in each hand, and absorbed the spiritual power from the spirit stones in an extremely rough manner.

Rich spiritual energy instantly poured into Chen Yuan's meridians, like the water of a big river entering the newly opened canal, surging and turbulent, causing a great impact on the meridians.

Chen Yuan showed a look of pain on his face. The spiritual energy contained in the top-grade spirit stone was too rich. It was the thing used by Jindan cultivators for daily practice.

The foundation-building cultivator directly absorbed the spiritual energy from it, just like a five-year-old child overeating, and his meridians were almost burst by the spiritual energy.

Fortunately, Chen Yuan practiced both magic and body, his body was strong and his meridians were tough, so he could barely withstand the impact of this huge spiritual energy.

But even so, tiny spider-web-like cracks appeared in his meridians, and he was on the verge of collapse.

But at this critical moment of life and death, Chen Yuan did not care about the damage to his meridians, and immediately followed the practice route of "Nine Transformations of the True Spirit" to quickly transform the spiritual energy into true essence. The true essence lake in his dantian, which had quickly dried up, became full again.

Liu Fan was only a thousand feet away from Chen Yuan and could sense his every move through his spiritual sense.

Seeing that Chen Yuan dared to absorb spiritual energy directly from the high-grade spiritual stone, he sneered and sent a message to Chen Yuan: "Wei Wuding, what you are doing is just drinking poison to quench thirst, why bother to struggle?"

"As long as you surrender, hand over the magic weapon and the mustard seed ring, and let me plant the soul restriction, I can spare your life and help you form the elixir, how do you think?"

Liu Fan's tone was earnest and seemed to be full of sincerity, but Chen Yuan ignored him and his expression did not change at all. He endured the severe pain of his meridians being torn apart and concentrated on transforming his spiritual energy into true essence.

Seeing that Chen Yuan had no reaction, Liu Fan didn't take it seriously and continued to follow him, gradually shortening the distance between them.

Naturally, he would not let Chen Yuan go. These words were only meant to undermine Chen Yuan's fighting spirit and slightly reduce his own energy consumption.

It doesn't matter if Chen Yuan doesn't appreciate the courtesy. For a foundation-building cultivator, if he forcibly absorbs the spiritual energy from the high-quality spirit stone, he is just seeking his own death. In a short while, his meridians will be broken.

Liu Fan just needs to consume a little more energy and blood, and he will catch up with Chen Yuan sooner or later.

But after another quarter of an hour of the two chasing and fleeing, Liu Fan's expression finally changed.

He looked at Chen Yuan in front of him, his eyes full of doubt and his brows furrowed. "Why can he still hold on? Is the body of a physical cultivator really that strong?"

Just a few breaths ago, the spiritual energy in the two top-grade spirit stones in Chen Yuan's hands was exhausted and turned into powder.

He stroked his storage bag, took out two new high-quality spirit stones, and continued to absorb the spiritual energy from them.

The severe pain in the meridians that had been paused for a few breaths came back again. Chen Yuan endured the pain as if he was being bitten by thousands of ants, gritting his teeth and transforming the huge amount of spiritual energy that was pouring into his body.

This was the only way for him to replenish his true essence. He did not have any foundation-building elixirs that could restore his true essence, and the spiritual energy in the mid-grade spirit stones was a drop in the bucket, unable to replenish the consumed true essence in time.

With the help of the Blood Escape Technique, the speed of the Duyun Boat is so fast that only a Jindan cultivator can control it.

Suddenly, the blood-colored light that enveloped the Duyun Boat became much thinner, and the speed of escape slowly decreased.

Chen Yuan's eyes became fierce. He held the spirit stone in his right hand, slapped his chest hard, and spat out a large mouthful of blood, muttering something.

After three breaths, this ball of essence and blood turned into a ball of blood mist and merged into the escape light which gradually turned back into green. The speed of Duyunzhou increased suddenly, even a few points faster than before.

This ball of blood and essence is 30% of all the blood and essence in Chen Yuan's body, while the first time he sprayed out only 20%.

With 50% of his blood and essence leaving his body, Chen Yuan's complexion became extremely pale, his black hair became dry and rough, his flesh and blood withered like autumn flowers, and his shiny and fair skin became like cracked bark, old and withered, sticking to his bones.

When Liu Fan saw that Chen Yuan was willing to pay such a painful price to continuously perform the Blood Escape Technique, a trace of gloom flashed across his face.

He sent a voice message to Chen Yuan: "Wei Wuding, do you really want to die?"

"Qi State is now the world of the two great holy sects. Even if you use up all your blood and energy, you can't escape Qi State. If you surrender, you can still save your life!"

Chen Yuan still ignored Liu Fan's message. He just looked ahead with a stern expression, silently absorbing the spiritual energy from the top-grade spirit stone.

A surge of anger rose in Liu Fan's heart. He stopped trying to persuade Chen Yuan to surrender. A hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he still followed Chen Yuan from a distance. However, his hatred for him grew stronger.

After catching Chen Yuan, he will make him suffer the pain of being cut into pieces and having his soul extracted and his spirit refined!
Liu Fan was not worried that Chen Yuan would escape. There was a huge gap between Jindan cultivators and foundation-building cultivators. He only needed to consume 20% of his essence and blood to exhaust Chen Yuan to death.

But at this time, the Qi State's immortal cultivation world was in great chaos. The cultivators from the six sects had not yet evacuated, and there were also demon cultivators running rampant and looting. The two of them, one chasing and the other fleeing, made a huge fuss. They might encounter other Jindan cultivators, which could lead to unexpected situations.

However, Liu Fan had already performed the Blood Escape Technique once, which consumed 20% of his blood and essence. If he consumed more blood and essence, it would have a significant impact on his cultivation.

After some hesitation, he decided to continue following Chen Yuan. When his energy and blood were exhausted, he would be able to capture him naturally.

Then the two of them chased each other and fled, and soon nearly a quarter of an hour had passed.

Chen Yuan had already escaped for more than 600 miles, and was less than 400 miles away from the barren mountain where the ancient teleportation array was located.

He quickly looked back and saw that Liu Fan was more than 900 feet away from him and he couldn't catch up with him in a short time.

Chen Yuan felt a little relieved. As long as he maintained this speed, he would be able to escape from Qi through the ancient teleportation array before Liu Fan caught up.

At this moment, the high-quality spirit stones in his hands turned into powder and drifted away with the wind.

Without a second thought, he touched his storage bag, took out two new top-grade spirit stones, held them tightly, and endured the severe pain to absorb the spiritual energy, transforming it into strands of pure true essence, which he then madly injected into the Duyun Boat.

The blood-red light outside the Duyun Boat is quite strong. The blood escape technique transformed from 30% of the essence and blood can last longer and will not lose its effect now.

Suddenly, a slight crackling sound mixed with the howling of the fierce wind reached Chen Yuan's ears.

The voice was so faint, but to Chen Yuan, it was like thunder out of the blue.

His expression changed and he looked down. A barely noticeable crack appeared on the Duyun Boat under his feet.

Chen Yuan stared at the crack, took a deep breath, raised his head again, looked forward, and tightened his hands holding the top-grade spirit stone. Ignoring the pain of his meridians being torn, he forcibly absorbed more spiritual energy.

The Duyun Boat is just a top-grade spiritual weapon. The spiritual materials used are relatively mediocre. The strength of the boat is limited and it is almost unable to withstand the backlash of Fengluan's demonic power.

This boat stimulates the power of the Wind Luan, and within a quarter of an hour, there will be no damage. In order to escape, Chen Yuan continued to stimulate the power of the Wind Luan for more than two quarters of an hour, and finally reached the limit of the Duyun Boat.

But he couldn't stop at this moment. He could only escape as far as possible before the Duyun Boat disintegrated.

After the first crack appeared, more and more cracks appeared on the Duyun Boat.

A quarter of an hour later, the Duyun Boat finally disintegrated, turning into countless pieces and scattering down.

The Fengluan feather also broke into pieces and turned into a breeze, blowing on Chen Yuan's face.

The shadow of Feng Luan disappeared, leaving only a slightly thin blood-colored light that wrapped around Chen Yuan. The speed of escape dropped a lot. Although it was still slightly faster than that of a cultivator in the early stage of Jindan, it was obviously slower than that of Liu Fan.

Seeing this, Liu Fan's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he quickly closed the distance between him and Chen Yuan, laughing and saying, "Without your flying magic weapon, I wonder where you can escape to!"

The chase of several hundred miles made Liu Fan quite worried whether other Jindan cultivators would interfere.

But Chen Yuan's flying magic weapon destroyed itself, and it was impossible for him to escape his pursuit by relying only on the blood escape technique!

In just a few breaths, Liu Fan was within six hundred feet behind Chen Yuan. Chen Yuan didn't need to look back to see the hideous and distorted expression on Liu Fan's face with his spiritual sense.

In the past, he always maintained a free and easy image in front of other cultivators. He did not seem like a demon cultivator, but rather a righteous man.

But in front of the treasure, he could no longer remain calm and his greedy nature was revealed.

Chen Yuan took a deep breath, raised his right hand suddenly, and slapped it hard on his chest.

puff!
He spat out a large mouthful of blood, and his tall body became visibly thinner. His dry skin stuck tightly to his skeleton, and he became like a skeleton evil ghost, as if he would die in the next moment.

But his eyes were still shining brightly and he quickly raised his hands, made hand gestures and muttered something.

The essence and blood exploded and turned into a ball of crimson blood mist, which enveloped Chen Yuan. Then it shot out like a flash of blood-red lightning, instantly flying over a hundred feet and widening the distance between itself and Liu Fan!
He practiced both Dharma and body, and although he had only reached the foundation-building stage, the richness of his blood and essence could be compared to that of Liu Fan.

This was the third time he used the Blood Escape Technique, which consumed more than 40% of his blood and energy, leaving less than 10% of his blood and energy in his body.

He has risked everything he has and is determined to survive the remaining hundred miles at all costs!
Liu Fan's expression changed. Chen Yuan's body was as thin as a ghost, which was a sign that his blood and essence were almost exhausted.

Even if he really escaped, he would die from exhaustion of his blood and essence unless he took a precious elixir that could restore his blood and essence.

and many more!

Wei Wuding obtained so many spiritual herbs from the space magic weapon, it is very likely that there are spiritual herbs that can restore essence and blood, otherwise why would he be so decisive in performing the Blood Escape Technique one after another?

Liu Fan's thoughts raced, and when he thought of how Chen Yuan had been extremely calm and not panicked since his escape, his expression became even uglier.

He is so calm, either he is ready to die or he has another trump card.

And Wei Wuding has such a strong fighting spirit, he certainly is not ready to die. Could it be that he is really sure of escaping?

Liu Fan stared at Chen Yuan, who had closed the distance of a thousand feet in front of him again, with an extremely solemn expression.

Suddenly, he raised his hand and slapped his chest, spurting out a mouthful of blood, and pinched his hands to make some magic gestures.

The essence and blood instantly exploded into a ball of blood mist and was absorbed by Liu Fan's escape light. The blood color became even richer and the escape speed increased dramatically!
As a Jindan cultivator and a true disciple of the Blood Spirit Sect, he had studied the way of blood in depth. He used 20% of his essence and blood to perform the Blood Escape Technique, which was enough to sustain him for half an hour.

Now he used the Blood Escape Technique again, his escape speed increased again, and within a few breaths, he had shortened the distance by more than ten feet.

In order to avoid any further complications, Liu Fan did not hesitate to consume another 10% of his energy and blood to increase his escape speed in order to catch Chen Yuan as soon as possible.

This is also his limit. If he consumes more essence and blood, he will need several years to recuperate. At the critical moment of conquering Qi State, he will not be able to compete with other demon cultivators for cultivation resources, and the loss will be too great.

However, the blood escape technique that consumed 30% of his blood and energy was already extremely extraordinary. The distance between Liu Fan and Chen Yuan was rapidly narrowing. In less than half a quarter of an hour, it was only about 300 feet away.

Two hundred feet, one hundred and fifty feet, one hundred feet...

The two men chased and fled for dozens of miles, and Liu Fan was less than sixty feet away from Chen Yuan.

At this time, the two came to a small mountain range that was more than ten miles long. Liu Fan grinned grimly, and more than a dozen blood spirits that had been condensed for the longest time flew out of his body and pounced on Chen Yuan.

After Chen Yuan performed the Blood Escape Technique, his escape speed was too fast for ordinary blood spirits to catch up with him. Only these dozen or so carefully cultivated blood spirits were the fastest and could interfere with Chen Yuan.

The blood spirit turned into more than a dozen blood lines and flew over a distance of more than ten feet in the blink of an eye, almost pouncing behind Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan looked at the mountains below, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. He turned around suddenly, slapped his chest heavily with his right hand, and spurted out a mouthful of blood!

The essence and blood exploded and turned into a ball of blood mist. Chen Yuan's escape speed increased a little bit, and he distanced himself from the blood spirit and flew towards the mountains below.

The blood spirit chased after him relentlessly, but was unable to cross the short distance of ten feet.

Chen Yuan used the Blood Escape Technique for the fourth time. With only a trace of blood and essence left in his body, his escape speed even exceeded that of an ordinary mid-stage Jindan cultivator.

Within a few breaths, he arrived at a bare and desolate mountain, quickly descended his escape light, and rushed into the cave on the mountainside.

Liu Fan's face changed drastically. He didn't care about the loss of his energy and blood, and used the Blood Escape Technique to increase his escape speed even more.

But he was several dozen feet away from Chen Yuan. As soon as he rushed into the cave, Chen Yuan had already flown through the passage of several dozen feet and arrived at the stone hall.

The ancient teleportation array is waiting here quietly, intact.

He came to the center of the teleportation array, touched his storage bag, took out a black teleportation order and eight high-quality spirit stones with different properties, raised his hand and threw them into the grooves around it, then frantically injected true energy into the teleportation order.

The cloud pattern on the back of the black token lit up quickly, and eight high-quality spirit stones exploded. The eight black lines connecting the grooves were dyed with eight colors: gold, green, red, blue, yellow, white, cyan and silver, and quickly extended towards the center of the formation.

A moment later, the entire formation was dyed with eight colors, which mixed together and turned into a slightly grayish silver color, which was extremely strange.

hum!
The teleportation array made a humming sound, and rays of silver-white light quickly rose from the edge of the array, forming a pillar of light that shot up into the sky!

A silver-white beam of light broke through the barren mountains, pierced the clouds, and penetrated the sky and the earth, and an invisible ripple spread out.

Liu Fan's face changed drastically. He had felt this kind of power before. This was the power of space that escaped after the collapse of the space magic weapon!
However, this spatial force was much weaker and did not cause his storage bag to collapse.

This is... the long-lost ancient teleportation array!

He was shocked and crossed a passage several dozen feet long to the stone hall. Hundreds of blood spirits flew out of his body and pounced on Chen Yuan, roaring, "Wei Wuding, don't even think about escaping!"

But Chen Yuan, who was wrapped in the silver-white light beam, had a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, and his figure suddenly disappeared!

The silver-white beam of light slowly dissipated, and the blood spirit missed its target and flew around in the stone hall.

The sunlight poured down from the big hole broken by the silver-white beam of light and fell on Liu Fan, bringing warmth.

But he was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He took a few deep breaths, but still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. He growled without grace: "Wei Wuding, you'd better never come back!"
