Chapter 888: Chapter 882: Void Divine Ship
The Sealing Emperor was defeated by a mere Fifth Grade Martial Saint.
If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, Yue Rushuang would never have believed it.
“Should I take advantage of his severe injury and make a move?”
Yue Rushuang’s beautiful eyes flickered with light. She hesitated whether to act now.
“Forget it, I’m afraid I can’t kill him alone; instead, I might be killed in return. Having an extra ally would be safer.”
Yue Rushuang hesitated a bit but ultimately chose not to act. She was deeply shocked by Ye Xuan’s strength earlier. Even though Ye Xuan was now at his limit, severely injured, she still didn’t have the confidence.
With this thought, she turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
After Yue Rushuang left, Ye Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief, his arms limp as he used his sword to support his body, barely remaining standing.
If Yue Rushuang had made a move just now, he truly wouldn’t have been able to resist; he was already at his limit, nearly burnt out.
Ye Xuan pushed his body to stand and walked with difficulty to Nangong Yao’s side.
Her breath was extremely weak, like a flickering flame in the wind, ready to extinguish at any moment.
“The injuries are severe, but fortunately her constitution is strong, so there’s no danger to her life.”
Ye Xuan checked Nangong Yao’s injuries. Although her scapula was fractured and her meridians were in disarray, there was no threat to her life.
“This place is not safe to linger.”
Ye Xuan knew Yue Rushuang had been here. Yue Rushuang hadn’t dared to make a move, surely to find reinforcements, ensuring a complete guarantee to kill him.
Taking a pill from the Qiankun Ring, Ye Xuan swallowed it and absorbed its power as quickly as possible.
He needed to recover his injuries quickly.
He sat down on the spot, adjusting his breathing to heal his wounds.
However, obviously he couldn’t wait for a complete recovery. Ye Xuan had to leave; if he didn’t, he might not be able to escape.
Picking up Nangong Yao, Ye Xuan leaped into the air and disappeared from the courtyard.
The extreme west of the Divine Demon Battlefield, Heaven Port.
Heaven Port is a port at the extreme west of the Eastern Realm, connecting to the Western World, but one must pass through the Void Trace, which requires specific Void Divine Ships to traverse. These ships depart every ten days; other than the Void Divine Ships, nothing can pass through the Void Trace.
Unless one possesses the abilities of the Sealing Emperor, allowing them to travel through such obstacles, then they have a chance to pass safely through the Void Trace.
Ye Xuan and Nangong Yao had already arrived at Heaven Port, waiting for the Void Divine Ship to depart while also focusing on healing their wounds.
Their injuries were severe. Ye Xuan had overdrawn much of his internal strength, even exhausting the power of his Martial Arts Primordial Spirit, making recovery extremely difficult. He couldn’t possibly return to perfect condition in a short time.
“Brother Ye Xuan, I’ve already sent a rescue message to my foster father; we should return to Fengtian City, and it’s not urgent to go to the Western World until we’re healed.”
Nangong Yao looked at Ye Xuan and said.
“Distant water can’t relieve immediate fire. Emperor Yu is in Fengtian City, while Xing Liuli is at the Divine Demon Battlefield. We definitely can’t return.”
Ye Xuan shook his head. Now, during his weakened state, Yue Rushuang and others wouldn’t waste such a good chance; they’ll definitely chase him relentlessly. Returning to Fengtian City is too far, and with all the Divine Domain’s minions, our tracks would definitely be exposed.
“Don’t worry, as long as we survive this crisis and reach the Western World, I’ll settle the score with the Divine Palace once my injuries are healed.”
A sharp look flashed in Ye Xuan’s eyes. His battle defeating the Sky-covering Demon Emperor was discovered by Yue Rushuang. She would certainly report to Xing Liuli, who could employ outrageous means to deal with him. So it’s best to retreat to the Western World, where Xing Liuli won’t be able to intervene.
While Ye Xuan and Nangong Yao were at Heaven Port, near Starfire City, countless people were searching for his traces—all dressed in black, with cold expressions.
“Sir, we haven’t found him here.”
“Sir, there’s no trace of him.”
“Sir, someone saw him here, but he left, heading west.”
Yue Rushuang held a token in her hand, from which voices occasionally emerged.
“Heading west? Could he be going to Heaven Port? We can’t just let him leave. We must locate him quickly.”
Yue Rushuang’s face darkened. Ye Xuan was a significant threat. This was the great opportunity to eliminate him; if missed, it would be ten times more difficult in the future.
The black-robed guards were over a thousand strong and undoubtedly part of the Divine Palace’s formidable forces. Though some were still being cultivated, the resources expended could easily collapse a Seventh Grade Sect. And these people were destined not to live long, as each was relentlessly exhausting their life force to activate their potential.
Thus, they could maintain extraordinary combat strength.
“Notify everyone, head to Heaven Port immediately!”
Yue Rushuang’s icy words were transmitted through the token.
“Trying to escape to the Western World? Dream on.”
Yue Rushuang sneered and then vanished into the void.
There’s only one day left until the Void Divine Ship departs.
Ye Xuan’s injuries had recovered about thirty percent, while Nangong Yao was slightly better, recovering about fifty percent of her strength, aided by a pill.
“In another day, we’ll be able to leave safely.”
Nangong Yao sighed with relief.
Their nerves had been tense during this period, and now they seemed to be able to relax a bit.
“We can’t let our guard down; the enemy may be lurking in the dark. Moreover, even if we board the Void Divine Ship, it’s not guaranteed to be entirely safe.”
Ye Xuan shook his head; now was not the time to relax.
A substantial number of Spirit Crystals could grant passage on the Void Divine Ship, regardless of origin. Both Demon Clan and Human Clan are treated equally.
Speaking of the Void Divine Ship, its origins are mysterious. There is no captain; it runs automatically, departing for the Western World’s Heaven Port at fixed times, returning likewise, requiring massive energy for propulsion. Each person must pay a hefty fee in Spirit Crystals to board.
In terms of grade, it’s not exaggerating to call the Void Divine Ship a Divine Artifact, for in the entire Ancient World, such a treasure may not exist elsewhere. The Void Divine Ship is considered to possess considerable Spiritual Wisdom.
However, many black-robed guards had already appeared at Heaven Port. Though their cultivation may be lacking, their tracking skills are exceptional, able to leverage a Soul Seeking Secret Skill to greatly enhance their detection abilities in a short timeframe.
Besides, this Soul Seeking Secret Skill has another terrifying aspect—it can lock onto living beings without inch-by-inch search, conserving much soul power.
Using this Soul Seeking Secret Skill, a squad of black-robed guards discovered Ye Xuan over a thousand miles away.
“Sir, target found, looks like the portrait.”
A black-robed guard resembling a squad leader held up a token and spoke to it.
