"Li Tian, Zhao Qing, and the golden-armored man. Who is most likely to be the culprit?" the Black Tortoise asked.
Wutian rubbed his throbbing temples and shook his head. "To be honest, I don't know either."
If the golden-armored man hadn't suddenly appeared, there was no need to guess. It was either Li Tian or Zhao Qing.
However, the golden-armored man's whereabouts were mysterious, and his purpose was unknown. Moreover, he had appeared so suddenly. He really didn't know who to suspect.
Suddenly, Wutian raised his head and looked into the depths of the Western Region. His eyes shone coldly. "Although I don't know, I'm sure that the culprit won't let go of the other God's Bones. As long as we hurry and catch up to him, we'll naturally know who's behind this."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" the Black Tortoise was impatient.
"Wait."
Wutian stopped the Black Tortoise. "If it's really Li Tian, Zhao Qing, and the golden-armored man, it means that they're faster than us. With your speed, it'll be difficult to catch up."
Shun Long nodded. "Wutian's words make sense. Let's not talk about Li Tian for now. He's extremely mysterious and difficult to predict. Zhao Qing and the golden-armored man were originally behind us. If it's really them, they either have some kind of transportation treasure or some kind of secret technique that can increase their speed. Therefore, we have to be faster than them. "
"Alright then. Little guy, use your godlike speed to hurry," the Black Tortoise said. It immediately shrank to the size of a palm and floated above Wutian's head.
"For the inheritance of the Four Divine Beasts, it's worth it to waste some Heaven-Destroying Battle Aura. Alright, let's do it." After pondering for a while, Wutian gritted his teeth and activated the Heaven-defying Domain. He brought Shun Long with him as they sped towards the 14th forbidden area.
"It's even faster than teleportation. What a terrifying speed!" Shun Long was secretly shocked. However, he didn't know that this kind of speed came with a price. And this price made Wutian's heart ache!
Moreover, in order to not waste time, he had to give up refining materials.
The huge loss made Wutian's heart bleed.
He had also made up his mind. No matter who it was, he would make them pay a painful price!
A Celestial Being Stage cultivator could teleport a distance of one million miles. A Tribulation Transformation Stage cultivator could teleport a distance of two million miles. A single step of Wutian's was equivalent to five times that of Black Tortoise and Shun Long.
The Black Tortoise needed three months to cross a zone. According to the original plan, the Wutian would only need eighteen days to reach the fourteenth forbidden zone.
However, things did not go as he wished. The eighty-eight wisps of Heaven-destroying Battle Qi were completely consumed by the Heaven-defying Realm and Godspeed in just fifteen minutes. On average, he would consume one wisp of Battle Qi every fifteen breaths.
However, the effect was astonishing. In just a short period of time, he had crossed hundreds of millions of miles.
"Let me do it! My true body is huge, and my life force is stronger than yours. If I burn my life force, I can teleport five million miles each time. "
At this time, Shun Long stood up.
Wutian did not refuse, and warned, "If you can't hold on, just tell me. The Saintly medicine will be prepared for you at any time."
Even the Spirit Essence could recover life force, let alone the Saintly medicine!
"That's enough." Shun Long smiled and instantly ignited his life force. He teleported with Wutian and continued on his way.
Although that was the case, Wutian would not really let Shun Long teleport forever. Burning too much life force would hurt his foundation.
Therefore, he formulated a plan. Shun Long would teleport for a day and use the Saintly medicine to recover his life force. During this period, the Black Tortoise would teleport with the two of them. After his life force recovered, it would take about a day for Shun Long to teleport with the two of them.
Wutian did not stay idle either. He spared no effort to condense his Battle Qi. In addition to the evil aura in the depths, it was obviously much stronger than in the thirteenth zone. He could produce a wisp of Battle Qi every day.
He originally wanted to activate the Heaven-defying Realm and use Godspeed as long as he produced a wisp of Battle Qi.
After all, a wisp of Battle Qi could maintain the Heaven-defying Realm for fifteen breaths, and Wutian could take at least forty steps in fifteen breaths. Taking two or three steps in one breath was still very easy for Wutian.
In total, a wisp of Heaven-destroying Battle Qi was enough for him to travel four hundred million miles.
However, Shun Long and the Black Tortoise refused, saying that they would only use it during the battle.
After one month and thirteen days, the three of them finally arrived at the fourteenth forbidden zone.
However, they were still one step too late.
The fourteenth forbidden zone was also in ruins. With just a quick scan, the three of them could tell that the battle had taken place two days ago!
"Someone deliberately erased the traces so that we would not be able to find it." The Black Tortoise's voice was gloomy and contained monstrous anger.
No matter who it was, after a battle, they would leave their aura on the battlefield. Under normal circumstances, it would completely disappear after three or four days. However, it also depended on the level of combat strength. With Wutian's current strength, it would take at least two or three months for the aura to completely disappear.
As for the fourteenth forbidden zone, except for the fresh traces of battle on the ground, there was not a single trace of aura left. It was obvious that someone had deliberately erased it.
"To deceive others? How naive! Continue to chase! No matter who it is, I will make sure that they die without a burial place! "Wutian's face was as cold as ice.
This time, the culprit had truly infuriated him. He would not be soft-hearted even if it were the other people with nature-defying battle constitutions. He no longer cared about being able to exert a super strong combat strength by working together.
That was because the cost of this chase was too great. Not only had the 88 wisps of Heaven-destroying Battle Qi been used up, but Shun Long had also burned his vitality for more than 20 days. If it were not for the support of the sacred elixirs, he would have collapsed and been destroyed!
Even so, his foundation had been affected to a certain extent. Even if he went to the Astral Realm to cultivate, it would probably take him hundreds of years to recover. In other words, he would not be able to break through the second Tribulation within those hundreds of years.
If he did not crush the person who had stirred up the situation, he would be letting down Shun Long's sacrifice!
However, the only fortunate thing was that he had managed to refine another 30 wisps of Battle Qi with his unremitting efforts.
Whoosh!!!
Shun Long burned his vitality crazily. His figure flickered between heaven and earth and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Two days later, Wutian finally sensed a faint aura in the 15th district. It was difficult to distinguish who was who, but he knew that the culprit was not far away.
"It seems that the opponent's speed is slower than Shun Long's." Black Tortoise sneered. A murderous intent rose.
"If I can't even catch up with him, then Shun Long's vitality and my dozens of sacred elixirs would have been wasted." Wutian lifted the corner of his mouth. There was a sinister smile on his face.
Six hours later, the three of them could finally clearly sense the other party's aura. There were a total of eight auras. Two of them were very familiar, while the other six were very unfamiliar.
The two familiar auras were Zhao Qing and the golden-armored man who had escaped from Black Tortoise!
Wutian said coldly, "It is indeed Zhao Qing. It turns out that she has joined forces with the golden-armored man. It seems that the other six people are his companions."
Then, Black Tortoise said solemnly, "Little guy, something is wrong."
"What is it?" Wutian frowned.
"Apart from Zhao Qing, the others are in the first area. Moreover, I can faintly sense a trace of my aura on the golden-armored man."
"Your aura?" Wutian's face darkened. He said, "Do you mean that the emperor sealed in the 13th and 14th forbidden areas is another part of your body, and that the golden-armored man has already fused with it?"
Black Tortoise said, "No, only one of the bones is mine. The other seems to be Azure Dragon's. I can also sense that he has not completely fused with it. Perhaps it has something to do with the lack of time. However, he can already activate the divine power in the divine bone. I'm afraid that this time, we will really face a tough battle."
"A tough battle? I'm afraid not. I have some trump cards that I have not used since coming to the Graveyard of Gods and Devils. " Wutian touched the Sikong War Ring on his hand. His pitch-black eyes were so deep that they seemed to be able to suck in people's minds.
"Since you are so confident, I can rest assured. Leave the golden-armored man with two divine bones to me. You guys quickly finish off the others and come help me."
At this time, Shun Long smiled and said, "Why don't you just let me bleed and activate the divine power in all the divine bones? This way, we will have a better chance of winning."
"Don't talk nonsense. Last time, I let you bleed because I wanted you to devour the power of Azure Dragon's bloodline. This time, I can't let you bleed anymore. Otherwise, with your current condition, your vitality will be greatly damaged. At that time, I'm afraid that your cultivation will stop at this level forever," Black Tortoise said.
"It shouldn't be that serious!" Shun Long doubted. With the help of the divine medicine, he felt that his condition was very good. There was no other discomfort.
"It shouldn't be that serious?"
Black Tortoise was amused, but he sneered and said, "The consequences I mentioned are already very light. You have continuously burned your vitality for more than 20 days. If it were anyone else, even if it were a desolate ancient fierce beast, they would have already been exhausted. Although you have the divine medicine to recover in time, it is an undeniable fact that your foundation has been damaged. If you still bleed, you might just die."
"But …"
"No buts. If you dare to buts again, I will kill you first!"
Before Shun Long could finish speaking, the Black Tortoise angrily roared, causing Wutian and Shun Long to be stunned. Then, they looked at each other, both of them at a loss.
"Alas!"
Black Tortoise also realized that he had lost his composure. He sighed deeply and said, "Little guy, although I am not related to you, you have at least inherited a part of my fighting strength. You can be considered half my disciple, so I don't want to see such a tragedy happen."
Wutian suddenly realized that Black Tortoise had already regarded Shun Long as half his disciple. That was why he was so concerned about him.
Shun Long was also moved by these words. His eyes turned red, and he said sincerely, "Senior, thank you for your kindness. If you can be reborn, I will definitely worship you as my master."
"Hmph! I think you have no intention of worshipping me as your master at all. "Black Tortoise snorted coldly.
"I am sincere," Shun Long said innocently.
Black Tortoise said disdainfully, "Sincere my ass. You know that I can't be reborn, yet you still say such high-sounding words. You still dare to say that you are sincere? Only a ghost would believe you. "
Shun Long was slightly stunned. He smiled embarrassedly and said, "When looking for a master, I naturally have to find someone reliable who can protect me in the future. If you really die in the end, it will be useless for me to worship you as my master. Senior, don't you think so?"
"You … you are really realistic!" Black Tortoise said hatefully. If he had teeth, he would definitely see him gnashing his teeth.
