Escape

Seeing that the Mantu Divine General seemed to be about to unleash even more terrifying methods, Lu Yan'an felt a chill run down his spine!

"This can't go on! I knew there was a gap between me and the Overlord, but I never imagined it would be this wide!" Lu Yan'an felt dizzy and lightheaded. Enduring the Mantu Divine General's strongest Soul Secret Technique, Soul Annihilation drained him of a great deal of energy, and he was already severely injured. If it were to unleash its full power again, he would surely die! "If I didn't have the Heart Power, I'd probably be completely exhausted by now, lying on the ground, at their mercy."

"Moreover, even the protection of the Soul-type Supreme Treasure 'Chen Meng' couldn't stop this Innate Secret Technique!" Lu Yan'an thought with considerable shock.

The more powerful Special Lifeform form is, the more extraordinary its innate abilities become.

"It's time to slip away. If this continues, we might really have to hand over these Supreme Treasure. However, I need to conceal my ability to Teleportation under Space Lockdown, otherwise, the next assassin might be the Universe Supreme Being!" Lu Yan'an forced himself to stay alert and quickly came up with an idea. He gritted his teeth and rushed directly towards the Nine Nether Sea below. The Nine Nether Sea... is the most vast and dangerous place in the entire Jiuyou Space-Time, especially the Jiuyou Whirlpool within it, which is a natural barrier to cover his Teleportation!

Peng!

The seawater burst open, Lu Yan'an had already plunged into the Nine Nether Sea.

"You still want to escape?" The Mantu Divine General's eyes were filled with shock. It couldn't believe that Lu Yan'an was actually rushing towards the most dangerous Nine Nether Sea below! In its mind, a World Lord daring to go there was tantamount to courting death! But it couldn't bear to part with the Supreme Treasure on Lu Yan'an's body, so its face contorted with rage, and it roared as it followed directly into the Nine Nether Sea...

The seawater was cold and deep, filled with a chilling aura.

"Rumble..." The Mantu Divine General frantically searched for Lu Yan'an's whereabouts in the sea, maintaining Space Lockdown at all times. At the same time, he roared to those around him, "Human, you cannot escape! You must possess a Supreme Treasure to protect your soul, you must! Your Supreme Treasure will all belong to me! Belong to me!"

The Mantu Divine General had gone completely mad. It followed Lu Yan'an into the Nine Nether Sea, but instantly lost track of Lu Yan'an. It was filled with hatred! This was Supreme Treasure of the soul type, and even Overlord like itself did not possess a Supreme Treasure of such caliber. And once, such an opportunity had been placed right before its eyes, yet it had missed it!

"Whoosh!"

However, the instant Lu Yan'an entered the Endless Nine Nether Sea, he subtly directed his Kong Yu Clone to Teleportation, taking advantage of the time difference between the moment Mantuo Mantu Divine General entered the Nine Nether Sea and the instant he entered. From then on, Mantu Divine General completely lost track of Lu Yan'an's whereabouts.

On the other side, after losing track of Lu Yan'an, the Mantu Divine General began to delve deeper into the Nine Nether Sea to continue searching for his whereabouts. As it descended to the depths of the Nine Nether Sea, it suddenly discovered that a huge whirlpool had appeared out of nowhere in the deep sea where it was.

"Boom!"

Within the vortex dwelled a towering, blood-red figure. It possessed an incomparably robust physique, with two long, curved, blood-red horns, and let out a low roar that resonated directly in the mind of the Mantu Divine General: "Outsider! How dare you recklessly unleash your Venerable aura in my Nine Nether Sea! You are courting death!"

"What?" Mantu Divine General turned his head and was shocked. "The Jiuyou Whirlpool! A powerful being within the Jiuyou Whirlpool?"

He had only heard that the "Nine Nether Sea" was fraught with danger, the most dangerous of which was the Jiuyou Whirlpool. But he never imagined... that this Jiuyou Whirlpool would appear out of nowhere, and that a powerful being at the Universe Venerable level would emerge from it. Especially sensing the strength of that being's aura, it was definitely no weaker than that of the Mantu Divine General. Furthermore, since the Nine Nether Sea was the home ground of the native inhabitants living there, things had become extremely complicated!

"Boom!" The burning blood light directly enveloped the Mantu Divine General.

"A mere trick to kill insects, yet you dare to show off your meager skills before me!" Faced with this fierce attack, Mantu Divine General merely waved his hand, and a wisp of Annihilation Wind containing an aura of destruction quietly appeared in his hand. This Annihilation Wind seemed to possess intelligence, automatically rushing towards the burning blood light.

"Boom!"

The two collided, the seawater shattered, and the undercurrents surged. Surprisingly Annihilation Wind casually conjured by the Mantu Divine General gained an absolute advantage. The next moment, this Annihilation Wind completely devoured the burning blood light unleashed by the native Venerable, and then continued its attack on the native Venerable without diminishing its momentum.

"Your strength is among the best of the Universe Overlord," the Universe Venerable exclaimed in surprise. He then formed a special hand seal, causing the surrounding sea of blood to surge violently. The Annihilation Wind carrying an aura of destruction was completely enveloped by the Nine Nether Sea. In an instant, all the fluctuations subsided, and the Annihilation Wind was completely annihilated.

"No wonder they say that if you fall into the Jiuyou Whirlpool and enter the Core Land the Nine Nether Sea, even a Universe Venerable Mantu Divine General turned and left, no longer wanting to fight.

The burly figure with crimson horns was chasing after the Mantu Divine General, the two of them moving in opposite directions, one attacking and the other defending.

Soon, the Mantu Divine General broke through the seawater and soared into the sky.

"Foreigners!" Amidst the rolling waves, the blood-red, horned figure strode across the water, looked up at the sky, and grinned savagely as the Mantu Divine General vanished in Teleportation. "You escaped quickly."

Immediately following, the crimson-horned figure returned to the deep sea. Moments later, it arrived at the Jiuyou Whirlpool and plunged directly into Jiuyou Whirlpool... disappearing from sight.

Thus, this farcical battle of attack and defense finally came to an end!

On the other side, Lu Yan'an, who had successfully escaped the pursuit of the Mantu Divine General using Teleportation, found himself Teleportation into a wormhole. Thus, without any warning, he was transported to the other end of the wormhole.

"Hmm?" Lu Yan'an looked ahead. In front of him was a huge basin with a lake that was tens of thousands of kilometers wide in the basin. Above the lake, there was a cone-shaped mountain peak that was more than a thousand kilometers high. It looked inconspicuous, but it just floated above the lake.

"A lake? Floating mountains?" He stared at it closely for a moment, then murmured, "This situation seems so familiar?"

Lu Yan'an looked at the cone-shaped mountain peak. The more he looked, the more he felt that he had seen this floating cone-shaped mountain peak somewhere before, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen this scene before. Then, he stopped thinking about it and sent his Demon Beast Clone to fly towards the floating cone-shaped mountain peak. He observed it carefully. The cone-shaped mountain peak had a dense network of small caves on its body. According to the detector, there were a total of 100 caves. Each cave was only three or four meters high. However, for a mountain peak that was thousands of kilometers high, these caves were insignificant.

Swoosh.

The Demon Beast Clone flew directly into one of the caves and landed inside.

"I remember now, isn't this the same Inheritance Land the Heart Sword Emperor left his legacy on Mingguang Star?" The Demon Beast Clone grabbed a nearby rock, and with a forceful pull, the entire cave wall shimmered with a faint silver light. The Demon Beast Clone felt a powerful force suddenly strike it, shattering its body, but then black energy flowed through it, restoring it to its original state. "Sure enough, even the texture of these rocks is so similar! Could this be the location of the 'Heart of Space' from the original story?"

While pondering the situation, Lu Yan'an continued to move forward cautiously.

The cave was very deep and dark. As they walked through it, even the Demon Beast Clone felt that the spatial fluctuations here had become somewhat peculiar.

There were no plants, just empty rock walls.

A moment later--

After traveling hundreds of kilometers, the Demon Beast Clone finally arrived at the heart of the cone-shaped mountain. It was a wide hollow in the mountain's belly, and in the center of the belly was a pool of water. This time, the pool was divided into five smaller pools, each with water of a different color and emanating a different powerful aura.

It has the aura of fire, the aura of sharpness like gold...

Above the Five-Colored Pool, there are countless spatial rifts that appear and disappear at different times.

"It seems we've indeed encountered the 'Heart of Space' that we glimpsed so briefly in the original story!"
