Failed Ambush

After leaving the Ancient Realm, Mo Tang did not return to the Pill Region, but instead headed towards the Savage Ancient Region.

Since the goal is to break through to the Eight- Dou Sheng, it's natural to need to choose a good location...

And Bodhi Space is the most suitable place for seclusion!

However, not long after he left the spot, a fiery red figure appeared in the same place as the flames spun.

"He didn't return to Ye City. Where is this kid thinking of going?"

The person who arrived was none other than Yan Jin!

Now that Yan Jin has decided to kill Mo Tang, he will not let him live any longer...

Originally, Yan Jin planned to make his move when the other party left the Gu Clan's territory and returned to the Four Directions Alliance, but Mo Tang changed his direction, catching Yan Jin off guard.

We just discussed such an important matter, why don't you go and discuss the conclusion within the alliance instead of running around aimlessly?

"Could it be that this kid discovered something, which is why he deliberately changed direction?"

Yan Jin couldn't help but secretly have doubts.

Back in the Ancient Realm, he was confident that he hadn't revealed the slightest bit of his killing intent. Even Gu Yuan wouldn't have been able to detect it, let alone a mere Seven-star Dou Sheng!

"However, no matter where you go, now that I've set my sights on you, there will be nowhere for you to hide on this entire continent!"

As soon as Yan Jin finished speaking, his red pupils suddenly shot out streaks of fire, and he chased after Mo Tang's figure at high speed.

They couldn't make a move on the Ancient Realm's territory, since they had all come at Gu Yuan's invitation. If they were to fight here, it would be a slap in the face to the Gu Clan.

But once they left the Eastern Domain, no matter how strong the Gu Clan were, they couldn't control them anymore. So Yan Jin kept chasing Mo Tang's figure, waiting for him to leave the Eastern Domain Region.

"Heh, this old bastard really caught up. Looks like he's determined to kill me..."

Even without the help of the System Map, with Mo Tang's current soul realm, he could easily detect Yan Jin's pursuit.

Moreover, as soon as the Ancient Realm realized that Yan Jin had ill intentions, he marked him on the World Map.

Therefore, no matter where Yan Jin is, unless he hides in his own clan's territory, he cannot escape the tracking display on the System Map.

Just like now, the opponent's huge red dot is practically visible at a glance...

"A late-stage Eight-Star Dou Sheng Expert, I'll let you be proud for now!"

Mo Tang snorted coldly, tore through space, and then stepped inside.

Upon noticing Mo Tang's actions, Yan Jin cursed under his breath, saying, "That bastard! He actually tried to escape using the void. It seems he really found me!"

This made Yan Jin somewhat uncertain.

After all, the opponent's Dragon Phoenix Body, even though there was a huge gap between his cultivation level and his own, made him even more at ease in the void due to the power contained in his bloodline.

Of course, Yan Jin wouldn't give up so easily, and immediately tore through space and entered the void...

Unfortunately, it was too late the moment he stepped into the void.

A golden light flashed across the dark void, and by the time Yan Jin tried to give chase, he had already lost all trace of Mo Tang.

In this endless void, even the soul power of a late-stage Eight-Star Dou Sheng would be suppressed, unable to extend infinitely as it did in Central Plains.

After losing track of Mo Tang, Yan Jin knew that his ambush had completely failed.

Because of the Soul Clan, he couldn't directly break ties with the Four Directions Alliance. Having missed this opportunity, who knows when he'd get another chance...

At this thought, Yan Jin's heart was instantly filled with boundless rage!

After escaping the pursuit of the Yan Clan Chief, Mo Tang did not hesitate any longer and directly opened the passage to the Bodhi Space, arriving directly under the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

"Haha, Brother Tree, it's been a few days, have you missed me?"

Stroking the rough trunk, Mo Tang greeted the Bodhi Ancient Tree with a smile.

With the supply of Mo Tang's Origin Qi Points, the Bodhi Ancient Tree is now twice as strong as when it was first seen, and its intelligence has even subtly improved, allowing it to transmit clearer information to Mo Tang.

Upon hearing Mo Tang's words, a rustling sound emanated from the boundless canopy of the Bodhi Ancient Tree, conveying its joy.

It was clearly pleased with the arrival of Mo Tang.

"Haha, I'm here this time to prepare for a breakthrough in my cultivation. Brother Tree, would you mind Protector me?" Mo Tang continued with a smile.

"... Okay, okay..."

A broken voice rang in Mo Tang's ear.

This startled Mo Tang...

"This is... the Bodhi Ancient Tree actually spoke?"

Mo Tang's eyes widened in disbelief.

The fact that it can speak indicates that the Bodhi Ancient Tree already possesses extremely high wisdom and spiritual power. Who knows, after many years, it might actually be able to take human form like Demonic Beast!

With a hint of anticipation in his heart, Mo Tang entered into cultivation.

Although his breakthrough was achieved using system energy, an eight- Dou Sheng is no ordinary being, so he needs to adjust his state to ensure everything goes smoothly.

After an unknown amount of time, Mo Tang felt that his condition had been adjusted to its best, and then directly said to the system: "Upgrade to an eight- Dou Sheng!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an incomparably violent wave burst out from his body, and immediately the plain was filled with sand and dust, and a deep pit, about tens of feet deep and hundreds of feet wide, appeared on the plain.

Just as the aftershocks were about to spread further, a strange energy suddenly appeared, instantly sealing off an area within a thousand feet of Mo Tang. Then, boundless pure energy descended from the sky, eventually submerging Mo Tang at the bottom of the pit...

The violent energy roared continuously within Mo Tang's body, transforming into raging dragons that charged and crashed about.

Mo Tang frowned slightly, and beads of sweat slowly appeared, then quickly rolled down his cheeks.

At the same time, the Dou Crystal in Mo Tang directly devoured these violent energies in the most ruthless way. After refining them, they turned into rolling pure Dou Qi, which was reintegrated into his meridians and circulated along with the original Dou Qi.

As time went by, Mo Tang's aura became increasingly violent. Gradually, the energy of heaven and earth began to fluctuate, eventually converging above the plain, creating a peculiar scene resembling the Heaven and Earth Tides.

To be able to draw upon the Energy Tide of heaven and earth with one's own Dou Qi —only a handful of people in this world can accomplish such a feat.

An eight- Dou Sheng, capable of stirring up the Heaven and Earth Tides, would make a different choice if Mo Tang saw Yan Jin again at this moment...
