"How dare you!"
"I am Wang Kunlong of the imperial Wang Clan! Who dares attack... ah! Are you courting death?"
A melee erupted in the distance. Several Heavenly Dipper Realm and Purple Mansion Realm experts attacked, holding Wang Kunlong back for the moment as the terrifying might of their battle ravaged every direction.
Some cultivators lingered nearby without attacking, itching to act. One look told anyone they were old schemers, the sort who specialized in picking up scraps.
Seeing this, Ji Kun breathed a sigh of relief and fled swiftly into the distance, though his heart ached a little over the wisp of Chaos Origin he had thrown away.
Of his seven wisps of Chaos Origin, he had thrown away four just to survive two and a half days.
Now, he had only three wisps of Chaos Origin left.
He had been lucky, really!
When he was transported into the Primordial Chaos Realm, he landed in Fallen Sage Valley, very close to its core region.
He searched for opportunities for half a day and found nothing.
Yet seven streaks of light suddenly gushed out of the Hunyuan Grand Hall in the distant core region and, by sheer coincidence, landed right in front of him.
They were none other than seven wisps of Chaos Origin.
At first, he thought it was some sort of trap. Once he finally confirmed there was no danger, he gladly accepted them.
He remembered that the Imperial Scion had once said he needed Chaos Origin and given him a task: if he found any Chaos Origin, he was to secure it for him at any cost.
The Imperial Scion would pay a hefty price for the Chaos Origin, while any other opportunities would belong to Ji Kun himself.
Unfortunately, someone happened to see the streaks of light fly out of the grand hall and land in his area. Someone guessed that he had obtained Chaos Origin and spread the news.
After that, he faced all manner of pursuits.
Finally, Wang Kunlong and the other two began hunting him.
Things had been fine at first. He threw away two wisps of Chaos Origin to keep five, and no one pursued him anymore.
But for some unknown reason, Wang Kunlong and the other two suddenly learned something and chased him like madmen, as though their parents had died.
This made the other cultivators think he still had more Chaos Origin, and they came hunting him too. He could not escape even if he wanted to!
Had Lin Yichen of the Lin Clan not known he served the Imperial Scion and held Feng Wuhen back,
he reckoned he would have been done for long ago!
But before he could relax or get very far,
a boom rang out, and a figure appeared a short distance ahead of him. It was none other than the Luo Clan's heavenly pride, Luo Tianci, staring coldly at Ji Kun.
Ji Kun's pupils contracted, and his expression turned ugly. "How is this possible! I let my guard down!"
He had let his guard down!
Ji Kun had paid no attention to Luo Tianci at all. He had never imagined someone could restrain their desire for Chaos Origin, refrain from attacking Wang Kunlong, and pursue him instead.
Ji Kun wanted to flee, but how could Luo Tianci give him the chance? He abruptly raised his hand and punched toward Ji Kun's stomach.
An enormous fist of profound Qi condensed, its force fierce and domineering, carrying a trace of a powerful, oppressive presence! Under this pressure, the surrounding trees kept toppling and shattering!
This was fist intent!
A spectating cultivator exclaimed, "Not only does he have fist intent, but he's also broken through to the Purple Mansion Realm! As expected of a heavenly pride on the Heavenly Pride Ranking. This fellow is in danger!"
Boom!
Unable to react in time, Ji Kun took the punch squarely.
He flew backward, smashing through countless trees before slamming heavily into the ground and spewing a great mouthful of blood.
With no time to think, Ji Kun gritted his teeth against the pain and turned without hesitation, dragging his severely injured body away while cursing.
"Fuck!"
"The mighty heavenly pride ranked 758th on the Heavenly Pride Ranking is actually shameless enough to ambush a cultivator below his realm! Fight me fair and square if you've got the guts!"
Hearing Ji Kun's words, quite a few cultivators pointed at Luo Tianci and muttered. Was the Luo Clan's heavenly pride really this despicable? He was simply disgracing the prestige of the Heavenly Pride Ranking's heavenly prides!
Luo Tianci said coldly, "Fine. Stop running if you've got the guts! I'll fight you fairly!"
How could Ji Kun dare stop? He could not help cursing. Stop running and wait to die? I'm not a fucking idiot!
Rumble!
He was just starting to put some distance between himself and Luo Tianci!
Yet just then, ahead of Ji Kun, Wang Kunlong swept through the heavenly prides and experts and fought his way out, trampling Heavenly Dipper Realm cultivators beneath his feet and blasting Purple Mansion Realm experts with his fists.
So strong!
As expected of a heavenly pride on the Heavenly Pride Ranking.
In that brief time, he had slain seven or eight peak Heavenly Dipper Realm cultivators and two Purple Mansion Realm experts, while quite a few other cultivators were sent flying with severe injuries.
The sight drew cries of shock from the surrounding cultivators. No one dared step forward again.
Finally, Wang Kunlong's gaze landed on Ji Kun. Striding like a dragon and tiger, his astonishing presence pressed down in all directions as he charged through the air toward Ji Kun.
Luo Tianci charged up from behind, likewise unleashing the might of the Purple Mansion Realm. Purple lightning surged skyward from his body, intimidating all around him. "Enough nonsense! Don't think we don't know you still have three wisps of Chaos Origin!"
At this moment, Ji Kun was truly beset from front and rear. His expression was ugly. "Damn it, who leaked the news?!"
Ji Kun fled to the left. Sensing that only a few drops of spiritual power remained in his Spirit Sea, his face turned ashen. He desperately wanted to shout, My fate is mine, not Heaven's, but though his heart was willing, his strength was lacking.
Rumble!
The earlier fighting had been far too intense. More and more cultivators came at the noise, most of them in the Heavenly Dipper Realm, pursuing him from every direction.
Seeing no sign of Lin Fan, Ji Kun's heart sank once more.
Suddenly, quite a few people's eyes lit up, and they cried out, "Holy shit, he actually still has Chaos Origin!"
Ji Kun took out two wisps of pure white essence again-two wisps of Chaos Origin-and raised them above his head, shouting, "Whoever stops those two gets my Chaos Origin!"
Charge!
After seeing the two people Ji Kun pointed at, some onlookers who did not know the truth charged at Wang Kunlong and Luo Tianci without hesitation, surging toward them like a swarm of bees with tremendous momentum!
"The Wang Clan is conducting its business! Anyone who wants to die, come forward!"
Wang Kunlong shouted coldly, no longer concealing his surging Purple Mansion Realm presence, and blasted several Heavenly Dipper Realm cultivators away on the spot.
Some cultivators scoffed, but when they felt that terrifying presence and saw the two men's faces clearly, their pupils contracted. Their bodies froze, braking in midair on the spot!
The Wang Clan's heavenly pride?
What a joke. He was a Purple Mansion Realm heavenly pride who had just killed a whole host of experts. Who would dare step forward to stop those two?
Together, the two heavenly prides were strong enough to sweep through the Primordial Chaos Realm!
The cultivators could still tell the difference between stopping two great heavenly prides and seizing the origin from the severely wounded Ji Kun. Immediately, Heavenly Dipper Realm and Purple Mansion Realm experts turned and charged toward Ji Kun.
Ji Kun: ??? What was that supposed to mean?
Fuck!
Now that Ji Kun had become everyone's enemy, he panicked a little at the densely packed forces before him!
A moment ago, there had been two. Now there was a whole mob!
He could only turn and fling the Chaos Origin behind him toward Wang Kunlong and Luo Tianci, sending it to an unoccupied spot along the path they had to take to pursue him.
He wanted to use this to stir up chaos again and escape!
Seeing the Chaos Origin land ahead, Wang Kunlong's and Luo Tianci's eyes naturally lit up. Neither would let it slip away, and both extended enormous hands toward the two wisps of pure white essence.
"All of you, get lost! Whoever dares make a move will be the first my imperial clan settles accounts with!"
Boom!
Wang Kunlong was just about to get his hands on them...
Yet one figure was faster than everyone else, and both wisps of Chaos Origin fell into his hands. "Better to arrive at the right moment than to arrive early! What luck, getting two wisps of origin as soon as I arrive! Though I'm still quite a lot short!"
Once they saw this figure's cultivation clearly, quite a few cultivators froze, for this fellow was only in the Spirit Sea Realm!
