Still, he had never expected to frighten them off with words alone.
"Hum..."
He did not sit there waiting to die.
His Ancient Scripture circulated, and his divine power boiled.
One hundred and eight beams of Holy Light blazed brilliantly as he unleashed them with all his might.
"Boom..." They collided with the enormous hand reaching toward him.
Yet the gap between their strength was far too vast.
His attack could have made even Four Extremes experts pale.
But it merely shook the hand reaching straight for him, slowing its advance slightly.
"Hm?"
The two elders of the Yin-Yang Sect both narrowed their eyes in surprise. "No wonder you managed to kill Four Extremes experts like Gu Yuan and Luo Qi. You actually possess such strength!"
"Unfortunately, you are still doomed to die!"
"Boom!"
But just then...
A streak of green light suddenly tore through the air.
Carrying astonishing might, it slammed forward.
Caught completely off guard, the old woman staggered back, blood spraying from her palm.
"What?"
"A Great Power Magical Artifact?"
The two Dragon Transformation experts were shocked and furious.
They stared fixedly at the Magical Artifact wreathed entirely in green light.
Without hesitation, both struck decisively, blasting the radiant Great Power Magical Artifact and sending it flying.
At the same time, Taiyi's face paled, and the impact made him cough up blood.
"As expected, forcing a Great Power Magical Artifact to activate with only dao palace secret realm cultivation is still too much!"
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Taiyi knitted his brows.
He put away the Jadeite Thumb Ring he had previously obtained from the corpse of the Great Power Jiang Zhe.
It was not as though he had no other trump cards. Before passing away in meditation, Danyangzi had considered everything carefully and prepared plenty of items to safeguard his path.
If he used the Great Power Forbidden Weapon Danyangzi had left behind, turning the tables and killing these two dragon transformation secret realm experts might not even be impossible.
But he had to consider the dangers he might face in the future, as well as the Forbidden Weapon's limited uses.
Unless he had absolutely no other choice, there was no reason to waste a use here.
"So what if you're a genius from the Yaoguang Holy Land? Kill disciples of our Yin-Yang Sect, and death is your only path!"
The old woman who had been injured through her earlier carelessness shouted angrily, murderous intent filling her eyes.
She no longer held back. Her aura became terrifying as her enormous hand once again slapped toward Taiyi. "Little bastard, blame your rotten luck!"
"Boom..."
The void rumbled.
The earth collapsed.
Yet in that lightning-fast instant...
Radiance blazed around Taiyi, and he instantly transformed into a streak of golden light, charging into the distance.
He used one of the Divine Movement Talismans Danyangzi had left him, dramatically boosting his speed in conjunction with the supreme footwork of the Sun God Movement Technique.
Even Dragon Transformation experts could neither stop him nor react in time.
"What? Stop him!"
"Damn it, that's the legendary Divine Movement Talisman! Only a supreme Great Power can successfully refine one..."
The expressions of the two Yin-Yang Sect elders changed drastically.
Alarmed, they shot forward like phantoms.
Both attacked, two enormous hands reaching from left and right to seize the fleeing Taiyi.
But they were a step too slow.
It was already too late.
"You old fossils of the Yin-Yang Sect, just you wait!"
Taiyi's voice drifted back from afar.
Shocked and furious, the two Dragon Transformation experts pursued him relentlessly.
Yet they could only watch as Taiyi turned into golden light and vanished beyond the distant horizon in the blink of an eye.
"We were far too careless..." The white-haired, white-bearded old man looked grim. "No wonder those old fellows from the Yaoguang Holy Land dared to let him travel alone for training!"
"Enough talk. We absolutely cannot let him escape, or we'll have serious trouble!"
"And he already has such cultivation at this age. His future potential is limitless. He might become a thorn in our Yin-Yang Sect's heart..."
"Exactly. If we miss this opportunity, killing him next time won't be nearly so easy!"
"We'll use a Secret Technique to track him. He won't get far!"
"After him! We must not let him escape!"
The two Yin-Yang Sect experts refused to accept this.
They exchanged a glance, then charged straight toward each other.
In an instant, their two figures forcibly merged into one.
The resulting figure was indistinct and wreathed in radiance, impossible to look at directly. Yin and yang energies circulated throughout its body, and its aura was utterly terrifying.
It hurtled into the distance at astonishing speed, pursuing him.
Chapter 26: Qian Kingdom, Mine Blood Calamity
"Boom..."
In a stretch of wilderness...
The void tore open, and a bedraggled figure rushed out of the spatial passage.
He had arrived here by using a Profound Jade Platform to cross the void.
"Damn it, the Yin-Yang Sect..."
Over several days, he had narrowly escaped death multiple times.
Only after considerable effort had he finally shaken off the Yin-Yang Sect experts' pursuit completely.
Somewhat disheveled, Taiyi's gaze darkened, a cold gleam flashing through it. "So you want to mess with me?"
He was no unaffiliated cultivator without anyone backing him.
He was the final disciple of a supreme elder of the Yaoguang Holy Land.
If he remembered correctly, the Yin-Yang Sect, a great sect based in the Central Plains, had been secretly scouring the Eastern Wasteland for young children with exceptional innate gifts and aptitude.
He did not know whether they intended to raise them as disciples or use them as cultivation cauldrons.
Although the Eastern Wasteland was vast, its great sects, holy lands, and Desolate Ancient Families were clustered throughout it, and they had long since divided the territory among themselves.
They already felt that the Eastern Wasteland had too few geniuses to go around.
Such behavior undoubtedly crossed a forbidden line.
Usually, even great sects like ours in the Eastern Wasteland struggle to find promising seedlings.
Yet a great sect from your Central Plains shamelessly sneaks around doing this?
How could we possibly tolerate it?
"Once I find an outpost of the Yaoguang Holy Land, I'll immediately make sure they hear all about your Yin-Yang Sect!"
He did not linger there.
Taiyi used the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Art to alter his appearance.
Once again, he took out a Profound Jade Platform designed specifically for crossing the void.
It was a single-use teleportation platform he had refined while cultivating under Danyangzi and studying formation patterns.
Its range was not great, but it could still carry him over ten thousand li. Back then, to deepen his understanding of formation patterns, he had deliberately refined quite a few using the materials Danyangzi had given him.
It was thanks to these Profound Jade Platforms...
That he had repeatedly escaped the pursuit of those two Dragon Transformation experts from the Yin-Yang Sect.
"Swish..." His hands shifted continuously, forming one divine seal after another.
After adjusting the coordinates, he poured divine power straight into the Profound Jade Platform.
He activated the teleportation formation patterns already inscribed upon it.
"Boom..." The void tore open at once.
Taiyi's figure vanished directly from the platform.
After he left, the Profound Jade Platform crumbled into dust.
When he passed through the dead, silent darkness and emerged from the spatial passage...
He had arrived in another stretch of wilderness. Flying onward, he soon reached a sizable city.
"Wontons for sale!"
"Fresh donkey-meat buns, hot out of the steamer!"
