Hunting God Era

Chapter 212 Waiting is just waiting to die

a few days later.

Two figures appeared at the top of a steep, mountain-shaped hill.

The man flew leisurely with his hands behind his back.

The robust woman, bathed in sunlight, her honey-colored skin almost glowing, stood with her anklet-adorned feet on the ground. After spinning around a few times, she pointed to the very tip of the path ahead.

"The feeling is deepest there."

"Oh?"

Li Ye's gaze swept over, and he was about to make a move when suddenly an opening appeared in the mountain peak, from which a group of people on horseback emerged, each pulling a cart behind them.

"Hurry up, we must keep up with His Holiness, we mustn't fall behind."

The leader on horseback had just finished speaking when his gaze suddenly sharpened, and he happened to see a man and a woman in front of him.

"enemy"

Before the man could even speak, Erica acted first, swiftly reaching for her earring, summoning a large bow, and drawing back the string with a taut motion. As the string vibrated, countless arrows formed from true energy rained down.

The men in the cavalry were all struck by arrows, falling to the ground along with their horses. Only the leader managed to withstand the rain of arrows.

It is a four-realm system.

"court death!"

The man leaped off the fallen horse, catching the air like a soaring eagle. He reached out with his hands in claws towards Erica, and there seemed to be some kind of suction force in his palms, holding Erica in place, unable to move.

This is a supernatural power he cultivated. Just like when an eagle hunts, the trembling of its prey will release a suppressive force from its palm, making the prey unable to move and allowing it to be killed in vain.

He didn't know who this person was, but he knew that things were tense recently. The sects of the Northern Alliance would occasionally carry out robberies, all for the core of the Primordial Chaos. Whoever got the core would have it if they exerted their power, and the only thing that would increase was the power of the one who got it.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be moving around in groups.

In his eyes, this was just a small sect from who-knows-where, especially since it had been wiped out by that rebel leader and its members were fleeing here; their favorite pastime was robbing people on the road.

Let's take them down first!

puff!
Before his airborne figure could even land, the man, who appeared smaller than the woman, suddenly waved his hand. He felt a dizzying sensation, and before his vision went black, he could only see a familiar headless corpse being sliced ​​into pieces before he was plunged into complete darkness.

"What is that?"

Li Ye stepped over the corpses killed by arrows, forcefully tearing open the gradually healing wound. As soon as he peeked out, his brows furrowed.

Unlike the hilly mountains, the grassland inside was flat, but at this moment there was nothing there, it was empty and spacious, even less polluted, and only some demons that looked like antelopes and bison could be seen.

The pollution level is very low.
I didn't see any of the Five Realms either.
Li Ye opened his mouth and inhaled, shattering the primordial chaos into fragments, which he then absorbed. Soon, the crack disappeared, and he reappeared.

He surveyed his surroundings, glancing at the fallen corpses and the vehicles behind the caravan.

It wasn't modern technology, but the horses pulling the carriage were no ordinary animals either. There was also a layer of reasonably high-quality leather on the carriage, which was probably made of demon skin.

Li Ye tore off the covering, revealing what was inside the carriage.

Golden knife, vajra, human skull, leather drum.
It symbolizes the ancient grasslands and exudes the same aura as the Primordial Chaos that Li Ye just absorbed.

He had seen this thing before.

When he was annihilating other Yuan Chu, he also noticed similar things, such as books, murals, gold and silver treasures, jade and porcelain. They were not decorations, but turned to ashes along with Li Ye's absorption.

This is the core of the Primordial Chaos, or rather, its symbol. Taking these things away can enrich the Primordial Chaos itself. Furthermore, these cores are unpredictable. If placed in other Primordial Chaos locations, they can be used to forcibly unite with the Primordial Chaos. If that is not possible, they can be integrated into the Primordial Chaos location where they are placed, thereby enhancing the Primordial Chaos's power.

Of course, its rules will also be distorted by these core elements, but ultimately they will be based on those original core rules.

This was a necessary measure when the Yuan Dynasty was about to disappear. During the period of decline of the Central Plains, before that, the Divine Land was in civil war, which caused the land to sink and the martial artists to perish. After some Yuan Dynasty forces were weakened, they were taken advantage of by external forces, who broke into these Yuan Dynasty forces and took away many of their core members.

Even if the Primordial Era is destroyed, these cores can still grow as long as they are integrated into other Primordial Era entities within the specified time.
But what if, after being destroyed, it remains exposed to the elements?
With a wave of his hand, Li Ye turned the items into ashes, and at the same time, some fiefdoms appeared around him.

The mountain peak was expanded by another layer, becoming a summit, and thus a fiefdom.

The nearby grasslands also became lush and fertile, and the moment the fiefdom was formed, it became a place where cattle and sheep lived in herds and where eagles hunted.

"and this."

Li Ye picked up a compass-like object that hadn't been destroyed by his Devouring Ghost Authority, shook it, and laughed, "Looks like we have a direction now. We're following our target."

In the early days, you could follow the direction to search, but finding the target along the way would depend on chance.

Erica's perception was natural, and the primordial state she sensed was not fixed, but rather scattered throughout the grasslands, not specifically referring to the Divine Eagle Sect.

With this, you can save a lot of trouble.

"Let's go, let's speed things up," Li Ye said.

Erica asked疑惑地问道：“These tokens of fiefdoms”

"Don't worry about it, someone will take over."

Li Ye glanced at the direction the compass was pointing, a smirk playing on his lips. He reached out and grabbed at Erica from a distance, but Erica was immediately swept away by a gust of wind. At the same time, a dark cloud appeared above, and with another gust of wind, Li Ye merged with the dark cloud above, rapidly spreading outwards.

Dark clouds loomed down, like an impending storm, instantly filling half the sky.

Power—the ability to reclaim land from the sea!
The storm in the sky expanded very quickly, especially since Li Ye was empowered by authority, and in the blink of an eye, he quickly suppressed the sky.

On the grasslands about two days away from Li Ye's location, the same convoy was traveling at high speed. At the head was a fourth-realm warrior, surrounded by third-realm guards. Second-realm warriors were responsible for driving, watching over the contents, adjusting the direction, and keeping up with the convoy.

"Keep up, don't fall behind, and be aware of any ambushes nearby."

The fourth-realm martial artist glanced around every now and then, and then shouted out.

During their migration, their sect discovered a destroyed caravan. They didn't know who did it, but the core of the caravan had been completely looted, and even the senior brother, a fourth-realm martial artist who was leading the caravan, had died inside.

Judging from the extent of the fighting on that plot of land, it wasn't just one person, but rather someone who was ganged up on and beaten.

This made him even more anxious. Their plan was to move in teams one after another, making sure to wipe out Yuan Chu completely. That way, once they reached the territory of the Divine Eagle Sect, they could connect the entire Yuan Chu.

But he was too greedy, which led to an ambush that he couldn't escape. He must find the Venerable One, inform him of the situation, and try to minimize any potential losses.
Boom!

Just as he was thinking this, a muffled clap of thunder suddenly sounded behind him. He turned his head and saw that the sky, which should have been azure, had abruptly turned into a deep darkness. The density of the darkness was enough to make one's scalp tingle.

storm?
That's impossible. There's no celestial phenomenon like that. It won't rain for the next few days, let alone the next two months, especially not on this scale.
Pan Yao?

Or.
Crack!

But before long, the darkness swept over them. Just as the fourth-realm warrior raised his head, a silver light that tore through the darkness descended swiftly, transforming into lightning that struck straight down, like a screen being refreshed, drawing a blinding flash of light over the convoy.

After the light disappeared, both the people and the horses turned to ashes.

Beneath the dark clouds, a whirlwind arose, as if plundering something, swiftly sweeping away the core of the convoy, turning it into ashes and dissipating, adding a touch of abundance to the land.

As for whose fiefdom it belongs to, it's quite easy to distinguish in places where demons appear.

As long as national borders exist, anything within the territory of China belongs to China.

This has been the case since ancient times. From the emperor's sacrifice to heaven to the emperor's Fengshan ceremony, as long as the proclamation was issued, the national borders could be naturally demarcated.

The primordial demon realm that was born here will naturally strengthen the Divine Continent once it disappears.

Similarly, the same applies when you're outside the boundary.

That raging wind was Li Ye's ability to devour ghosts, which he unleashed by using the power to fill the sea. It transformed into a raging wind that could sweep away everything in its path with incredible speed.

After dealing with the cavalry, the dark clouds above did not linger, but quickly spread towards the horizon, as if to devour the pure sky.

Further away, a group of people were carrying a Dharma altar, on which sat a person who looked like a lama, but with disheveled hair and a grassland appearance.

This group of people didn't have a horse team; they were just walking, carrying the altar with extraordinary piety. Their speed wasn't fast, and these people weren't even at the third realm; they were only at the second realm.

These second-realm martial artists also wore items that resembled magical artifacts.
The person on the altar is a martial artist at the Fifth Realm of True Mastery!
The Venerable One of the Longevity Sect.

As a member of the Fifth Realm, he should not be able to leave, since the Fifth Realm is already bound to the Primordial Beginning. However, it would be dangerous to let him leave last during this migration.

There is only one way: by using the core of the Primordial Chaos, it is possible to forcibly bring it out. This altar, and the cores of the believers, are essentially a small Primordial Chaos without rules, which allows it to appear in the human world.

Although his combat power was somewhat suppressed, he was still able to easily deal with those in the Fourth Realm, but the time he could operate was short, and he would not take action unless absolutely necessary.

Only when the new beginning arrives can he unleash his full power.

"It shouldn't be."

The venerable one looked back in confusion and muttered to himself.

Logically speaking, by this time, according to his plan, a convoy should already be approaching, and they should merge together. Once he arrives at the Divine Eagle Sect's base in Yuan Chu, he can't guarantee that everyone will come, but at least 60% can be guaranteed to follow.

There's a 60% chance he'll be able to establish himself in the future consolidation, and his future status won't be too low.

He knew, of course, that this hasty migration would be ambushed by someone, who would try to obtain the new core.

But this was all part of his plan. Some people were destined to be bait, and sacrificing a few for his grand scheme was nothing.

The problem now is that he hasn't seen a single person.

Even if the nearest convoy has been ambushed, the compasses he gives to these convoys are different, and they will arrive at him via different routes.

There was no sign of anyone lying in ambush nearby. In any case, at this time, someone must have already approached and gathered together.

But there's no one here.
Thinking of this, the Venerable One's face darkened.

If they were to reach the Divine Eagle Sect, it wouldn't be a merger, but rather an annexation.

In that case, he would at most be a worshipper, not an elder. He would be lucky to get some scraps. The worst thing would be to be completely consumed and served on the dinner table.

The merging of the primordial forces was not a wonderful or grand event.

Some of them will inevitably become food. Even martial artists at the fifth realm are not immortal. Having lost their own foundation, they are most likely to slowly become nutrients. If they cannot turn the tide within this time, they will definitely be eaten.

Especially since he is about to go to the outside world, where demonic forces gather, unlike the civilized cannibalism in their Divine Continent, where they slowly consume people. If he is mutated, once they find an opportunity, he will not even have a chance or time to turn the tables. He will probably be skinned and dismembered, becoming some kind of guardian deity or protective artifact.

"stop."

The Venerable One spoke in a somber tone, signaling the followers who were supporting him to stop.

A believer asked in confusion, "Your Excellency?"

The Venerable One looked behind him and said, "Wait a moment."

“Your Excellency, if we wait now, what about the time allotted for these core offerings?” the believer asked worriedly.

"It's alright. At worst, I'll travel in my physical body and pay a higher price. Just wait. If your senior brothers and elders don't come, I'd rather return to the Longevity Sect."

Returning to the beginning of the primordial era, there might still be a chance to fight back. Li Ye may be famous and powerful, but if he's going to die either way, then for someone who controls the rules of the primordial era, death might not be the inevitable outcome.

After all, no one had ever witnessed Li Ye's power firsthand; they only heard it from those who had fled, so they didn't really have a real sense of it.

People in the fifth realm are mostly confident, but in the end, they still have a lingering sense of wishful thinking.

Boom!

No sooner had he finished speaking than darkness descended upon the sky, instantly engulfing the entire heavens. Just as the Venerable One raised his head, his pupils constricting as he prepared to strike, a beam of silver light poured down from above. The silver light, like a sword, slashed down, striking the Venerable One and the altar below, along with the second-realm warriors supporting the altar, all of whom were reduced to ashes.

"found it."

At this moment, in the darkness, the Venerable One heard a human voice, and then vanished into nothingness.

The dark clouds contracted, transforming into two figures. Erica instinctively knelt on the ground, panting heavily.

The storm made her struggle to keep up, and she felt swaying up and down, which was very uncomfortable.

Li Ye, standing beside her, glanced at the former Venerable's ruins reduced to dust and chuckled, "What are you waiting for if you've stopped? Waiting is just waiting to die."
