Earthly Supreme Pursuers and Counterattack

"Nine Nether Jade Vein?"

After a moment of hesitation, Ice Emperor's breathing suddenly became heavy.

"Is it what you absorbed back then?"

He knew exactly what the Nine Nether Jade was. If it weren't for the terrifying quantity of Nine Nether Jade Marrow Heart that Xiao Han had accidentally obtained, it would have taken him forever to regain consciousness.

Such a treasure exists in this perilous Ruins?

Xiao Han nodded, handed the Scroll to Ice Emperor, and then poured cold water on her enthusiasm.

"Don't get your hopes up too high; that Nine Nether Jade Vein isn't easy to obtain!"

When he obtained the Nine Nether Jade Vein Treasure Map from the Shadow Demon Sect's treasury, he never expected such a twist of fate. A slight misstep could have cost him his life!

Looking back now, the Nine Nether Jade Vein might just be a lure, a bait that people can't help but swallow.

"This place is shrouded in Black Mist, obstructing visibility and greatly reducing our sensory abilities. How can we find anything?"

Ice Emperor raised a very real problem: this misleading map didn't mark any other traps or mechanisms. If you just blindly followed the map, you'd probably die a horrible death.

However, to Ice Emperor's astonishment and frustration,

"No way."

"Just take it one step at a time."

"Are you joking with me, Your Majesty?"

"No."

"You... are very good!"

The conversation ended there.

Fifteen days passed in the blink of an eye.

On the vast, dark plain, a snow-white figure was running for its life, followed by more than a dozen powerful, blood-red figures.

"Bang!"

The man in white took a light step and moved more than ten feet to the left without warning. The moment he landed, the spot where he had just been was instantly covered by a pillar of light, and a hole several meters in diameter and bottomless suddenly appeared.

Wiping away non-existent cold sweat from his temples, Xiao Han said in bewilderment, "Luckily, I dodged quickly this time!"

"Hey kid, I told you not to wander around like that!"

"We're doomed!"

At that moment, Ice Emperor's anxious and apprehensive complaints rang in my ears again.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Han's confidence faltered slightly, and he said somewhat guiltily:

"How could I have known that such a seemingly worthless place harbored so many powerful individuals?"

The story begins three days ago.

Since the two set their goal of finding the Nine Nether Jade Vein, they have been heading in the direction of the Nine Nether Jade Vein on the map.

Although they encountered many obstacles along the way, they were not troublesome. The strongest one was only a combination of a level nine Spirit Array and Earthly Supreme.

At the same time, the two also made considerable gains.

Having flown over the mountain range countless times, Xiao Han, as usual, used his Soul Strength to search the area below.

This move was incredibly powerful. In the next instant, Xiao Han's hair stood on end as more than a dozen powerful attacks suddenly erupted from below. If he hadn't still possessed some strength, his journey through the Ruins would have been over.

However, dodging the attack was only the beginning. Soon, more than a dozen streaks of Flowing Light rushed towards them, eventually leading to the scene just now.

There were more than ten Earthly Supreme, including two or three Upper Earthly Supreme. If it were a one-on-one fight, Xiao Han would not be afraid at all. However, they were playing a group battle, and this lineup was intimidating.

I thought the other party would leave automatically after tracking me for a while, but who would have thought they would keep chasing me like this.

He casually unleashed several level-seven Spirit Array, which were effortlessly shattered by the blood-red figure, who continued to pursue him at undiminished speed.

Xiao Han was already helpless.

"Get ready, we can't run anymore."

"This time, I've really been tricked by you." The disgruntled voice of the Ice Emperor rang out, then changed its tone...

"I will deal with the five Lower Earthly Supreme. The remaining six lower-level and three Upper Earthly Supreme are yours."

"Hmm?" Xiao Han let out a soft exclamation.

"What? Is there a problem?"

Ice Emperor's tone was slightly dissatisfied, as if to say, "I, the Emperor, have already taken on five opponents of the same level. With your level suppression and overwhelming strength, are you still going to say it's not good?"

"No..."

Xiao Han shook his head slightly.

"You're quite capable!"

Taking on five opponents of the same level is no easy feat, and this person seems quite confident in his tone.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

At this critical moment, Ice Emperor abandoned his usual cheerful demeanor and spoke with extreme seriousness.

"Hmm." Xiao Han also withdrew his extra expression, his expression becoming solemn.

Fifteen minutes later.

The ring on Xiao Han's hand lit up, and several palm-sized jade discs appeared between his fingers. Then, with a flick of his wrist, five streams of Flowing Light shot out, aiming at the figure behind him.

Faced with the enemy's repeated tactics, the pursuers paid no attention and subconsciously raised their hands to blast away these harmless attacks.

"Boom!"

A familiar explosion rang out, and countless rays of light of different colors suddenly emerged from a cloud of smoke and dust.

"Five Elements Sky Binding Array!"

Golden chains, green vines, a transparent water prison, crimson lava, and brown swamps—the five distinct yet interconnected areas divide, slow, and bind all enemies.

"Let's do it!"

Upon receiving Xiao Han's signal, Ice Emperor, who had been hiding inside Xiao Han's body, instantly appeared. A flash of blue light disappeared in an instant, and with a flick of his Long Whip, he swept away the enemy in front of him in the blink of an eye.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

With two crisp sounds, the two blood-red bodies at the forefront turned into countless fragments.

"Here we go."

Ice Emperor stopped in his tracks, staring coldly at the enemy in front of him. At that moment, a figure suddenly emerged from an inconspicuous corner.

"Bang!"

The Ice Wall between the two shattered, and the figure of the Ice Emperor reappeared in the distance, nodding gently to Xiao Han.

Seeing this, the latter quickly changed the shape of his hands, and a Spirit Array slowly emerged from the air, casting a shadow over the ant-sized figure in his field of vision.

Ice Emperor took the lead, flicking his Long Whip and carrying several nearby enemies with it. With a flick and a swing, he threw them into the distance, his figure turning into a phantom as he followed closely behind.

The enemy trapped in the Spirit Array didn't stand there foolishly. His blood surged, his body suddenly grew larger, and with the momentum of a whale swallowing the world, his fists roared as he blasted towards the Grand Array above.

"Bang!"

Sensing the tremor of the Grand Array, Xiao Han withdrew his gaze from the Ice Emperor, his eyes turning cold. With a flick of his sleeve, two more streaks of Flowing Light shot out.

"Roar!"

"Hey!"

A colossal black Giant Bear, tens of thousands of feet tall and covered in stone armor, suddenly appeared. Its gaping maw seemed to exude a foul stench, and saliva dripped from the corners of its mouth.

With its wings spread wide, the Golden-Winged Great Roc cast a shadow, its sharp eyes stinging the skin. With an aura of dominance over the world, it soared in the sky, its sharpness undisguised, its eight claws gleaming with a dazzling cold light.

The black bear stomped down heavily, its paws, carrying the force of a collapsing mountain, aimed at the figure below. The Great Roc spread its wings and swooped down, its sharp claws radiating a menacing killing intent.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

A series of deafening roars shook the heavens and the earth. The clash between the giant claw of Spiritual Power and the body of metal was evenly matched, and ten figures began a great battle on the plain...
