The temperature in the surroundings rose higher and higher as a faint, yellow mist permeated the surroundings. Jianchen had already entered the thick layer of clouds, so his vision was greatly affected. His visibility was extremely low, and the suppression on his soul was becoming more and more severe.
At this moment, Jianchen suddenly froze. With a single movement, he appeared over ten meters away as if he had teleported.
Boom! Just as Jianchen moved away, a red blur struck the spot where he had been standing. With a loud boom, rocks immediately flew in all directions as dust filled the air.
Jianchen became extremely stern. He had failed to see what the red blur was earlier, let alone figure out what had suddenly attacked him. If it were not for the fact that he had remained vigilant the entire time and managed to dodge in time, he probably would have suffered quite a lot.
However, before Jian Chen could think too much about it, his face suddenly changed. All his muscles tensed up at that moment as the light in his eyes flickered. He stared straight up. He had been locked onto by a terrifyingly powerful presence. Under the presence, not only did Jian Chen find it difficult to breathe, but his body felt as heavy as a mountain. Even his movements were restricted.
The presence was so tremendous that it seemed to have frozen every inch of space around him, allowing him to control space to restrain his opponent.
"An existence that has surpassed the Holy Emperor!" Jianchen was shocked. Even though he had not seen the appearance of the Xuanhuang beast that had attacked him, he could tell that it was an Origin realm Xuanhuang beast just from its presence.
This was because he had already killed many Class 9 Xuanhuang beasts, so he had an extremely good understanding of their strength. It was impossible for a Class 9 Xuanhuang beast to make him feel so pressured.
"This Xuanhuang beast has already reached the level of Heavenly Immortals. Master, you're not its opponent. Run!" The sword spirits' voices rang out in Jianchen's head.
Jianchen retreated without any hesitation when he heard that. He quickly leapt down the mountain range. The difference between the Origin realm and Sainthood was an entire major realm of cultivation, so the difference in strength was extremely great. Jianchen was confident that he could kill any Class 9 Xuanhuang beast, but he did not have the confidence to do so against a Class 10 Xuanhuang beast.
In just a few seconds, Jian Chen had descended several thousand meters through the steep mountain range. He had left the thick layer of clouds in the sky, and his vision finally cleared up. However, he did not dare to relax at all because the tremendous presence that had locked onto him did not disperse. Instead, it had become even more powerful.
"Oh no, the Class 10 Xuanhuang beast is chasing me, and it's getting closer and closer." Jianchen knew that the situation was bad. He abruptly kicked off a tree beside him and shot off into the distance like an arrow.
The Xuanhuang Microcosm was suppressed by a mysterious power, so it was impossible to fly. As a result, Jian Chen could only glide like a bird in the mountains that were several tens of thousand meters above the ground, using the Illusory Flash from time to time.
Hiss! At this moment, an ear-piercing hiss rang out from behind. A huge python that was a thousand meters long appeared before Jianchen without the cover of the thick, yellow clouds. The python glowed with a bright red light, fusing with its surroundings. It silently wriggled as it chased after Jianchen. It was much faster than Jianchen.
In the beginning, the red python was still ten thousand meters away from Jianchen, but in just a few seconds, it had shrunk to two thousand meters, and then three hundred meters. In the end, it was only a few dozen meters away from Jianchen.
Jian Chen's heart sank slightly. The landscape of the forest was complicated, so his speed was greatly restricted. The python behind him had clearly lived here for who knows how many years. It moved through the forest like a fish in water, moving with ease. It was impossible for Jian Chen to escape from the python's pursuit if the two of them continued on like this.
Jianchen just stopped. Chaotic Force surged out from his right hand, condensing into a dark energy sword. Resplendent and bright sword Qi mixed with the Chaotic Force, causing its power to increase once again. He had given up on using the Emperor Armament long ago. After comprehending Sword Origin, the damage to the Emperor Armament had become even more severe. Even if he used the Emperor Armament, it would not increase his strength at all.
"Since I can't shake off this Class 10 Xuanhuang beast, I'll fight it. Although I can't defeat a Class 10 Xuanhuang beast no matter what, I can see just how terrifying existences that have surpassed the Holy Emperor are. I'll use this opportunity to gain a rough understanding of their strength," Jian Chen thought. He was confident that the Class 10 Xuanhuang beast would not be able to kill him easily.
At this moment, the python opened its mouth and spat out a huge wave of fire. It swept toward Jianchen with extremely high temperatures. All the plants along the way that came in contact with the wave of fire were reduced to ashes.
Jianchen was surprised. He could feel that the flames from the python were even more powerful than the flames that Honglian could control. Although Honglian was a Scorching Divine Phoenix, a sovereign of fire, the python's flames were much more terrifying than hers due to the great difference in strength between them.
Jianchen used the Illusory Flash to avoid the attack of the flames. He felt rather fortunate that he was only facing a Class 10 Xuanhuang beast that did not know any secret techniques. If he faced a true Origin realm expert, he probably would not even be able to fight back.
After avoiding the flames, Jianchen quickly approached the python. He leapt over ten meters into the air and arrived at the python's heart. He stabbed the sword condensed from Chaotic Force toward the heart as hard as he could.
In the next moment.
Jianchen's eyes suddenly narrowed because his full-powered attack had only pierced a finger deep into the python's body. It had only caused an insignificant wound, not even a wound at all.
"What a terrifying body. It's more than ten times tougher than a Class 9 Xuanhuang beast. Probably only attacks from Origin realm experts can heavily injure it," Jian Chen was shocked. The toughness of a Class 10 Xuanhuang beast's body had completely exceeded his imagination. Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked.
At this moment, a terrifying force appeared. The red python swung its head viciously and knocked Jianchen far away. He smashed through over a dozen thick trees.
With that, Jianchen immediately felt like all his bones were about to fall apart. Intense pain pulsed from every part of his body. If it were not for his Chaotic Body, any other Holy Emperor would have been reduced to mush.
Jianchen barely managed to regain control of his body after being knocked several kilometers away. He then fled into the distance without even looking back. He had gained a rough understanding of a Class 10 Xuanhuang beast's strength after that short moment of contact. It was impossible for him to fight it head-on.
However, Jianchen was affected by the environment and terrain, so he was slower than the red python in the end. It caught up to him before long.
"Master, you can't try to outrun this Xuanhuang beast in a straight line, or you won't be able to outrun it. Also, the Xuanhuang beasts in the elemental mountains all have their own territories. This Heavenly Immortal Xuanhuang beast is probably the ruler of the fire elemental region, so you won't be able to shake it off if you stay here. We just happen to be close to the earth elemental region, so hurry over. Only then will you be able to shake off the Xuanhuang beast," Ziying's voice rang out in Jianchen's head. Jianchen raised his head and just happened to see the yellow earth elemental region several dozen kilometers away. He immediately changed directions and ran in an S-shaped direction.
Several dozen kilometers only took Jianchen a few seconds to cross. Very soon, he arrived at the edge of the fire elemental region and was about to enter the earth elemental region.
The red python immediately became frantic when it saw that Jianchen was about to leave its territory. It spat out streams of fire from its mouth, clearly unwilling to let Jianchen go so easily. This was because the Chaotic Force on Jianchen made it drool. It was an energy on the same level as Xuanhuang Qi, so it could vaguely sense that its strength would increase by quite a lot if it ate this puny being.
Several dozen streams of fire shot out from its mouth, forming a huge net that enveloped Jianchen. Although Jianchen dodged most of them, he was still struck by one. An unimaginably high temperature immediately engulfed him, and Jianchen's clothes were immediately reduced to ashes. Even with his Chaotic Body at the fourth layer, he was unable to endure the heat. He became bright red from the heat as a layer of his skin peeled off. The pain was unbearable.
Jianchen gritted his teeth and bitterly endured. He used the Illusory Flash to avoid the fire. At this moment, he had finally left the fire elemental region and entered the earth elemental region.
The red python did not chase after him. It stopped at the border and stared at Jianchen with reluctance. It constantly hissed and hissed.
Although the red python did not chase after him, Jianchen did not stop. He endured the burning pain from his body and quickly disappeared into the forest up ahead.
The red python stayed at the border for a long time, but in the end, it didn't cross the border. With a face full of unwillingness, it wobbled back.
Jianchen currently sat beneath a large tree. His burnt skin peeled off bit by bit before growing new skin. Although he was very badly burned, these small wounds were nothing with the terrifying regeneration of the Chaotic Body.
