Episode 71

  Insufficiently, he narrowly escaped several waves of attacks from his fellow disciples and three waves of sneak attacks from the dark cultivators. He fled in all directions, hiding and escaping for a whole day. Time seemed to pass slowly, as if it had never been so slow and unbearable before! By evening, he was hungry and thirsty, but the dark cultivator behind him continued to pursue him relentlessly. Insufficiently, although he had practiced for some time, he had not yet reached the realm of absorbing the origin force to aid his life force. At this moment, he could not stop eating. He had no choice but to swallow the yuan dan of a demon beast he had killed earlier. The yuan dan was the source of the demon beast's magical power and life force, and its power was so great that ordinary cultivators could not consume it! As soon as the yuan dan entered his body, flames erupted, and his internal organs felt like they were being burned. The pain was like a chaotic blade stirring in his abdomen, and he couldn't bear it! However, Insufficiently forcibly refined it with the true intention of his killing technique, guiding the powerful divine origin force into his body, circulating through his meridians, and entering his dantian after 365 cycles. At this moment, his dantian was like a weak and fragile mud palace! But as soon as the divine origin force entered, his dantian suddenly expanded several times, becoming stronger and more resilient, and could even contain the four ultimate heavenly origin forces within.

  "So that's it! The art of swallowing is indeed like this! Cultivating the yuan spirit is actually gathering the yuan energy in the dantian! At first, all forces did not rise, but it was because the dantian did not absorb the yuan energy! Amitabha Buddha, if it weren't for this great demon, how would I know its truth?"

  Insufficient to obtain its meaning, joyful and urgent full force operation makes the four arts swallow and absorb the heavenly earth's original power, for a moment suddenly feeling the energy greatly increased, footsteps even more swift.

  "Hmm! This kid's energy is boundless, and yet he's expending so much of it, but his speed has actually increased!"

  The great demon sensed something was amiss from afar and couldn't understand it in his heart.

  "We must kill this cultivator, otherwise it will be a future trouble!"

  The great demon suddenly used a golden needle to stimulate the acupuncture points, releasing its hidden potential, and its speed surpassed that of before by more than half! Its body was like a blue rainbow flashing past, disappearing in an instant! Those who were not within the realm of the gods were shocked to the point of near death!

  "Heavens! What crime has this family committed? To be treated thus! If the great repairer of injustices were to pursue and kill me, it would already be a stroke of bad luck, but now I don't know why my good fortune is suddenly increasing so rapidly - I fear that in just three more moments, I will be able to strike back and kill him!"

  In a state of utter bewilderment and perplexity!

  "Must I stretch out my neck and be beheaded? No... absolutely not! Since ancient times, it has been said that heaven does not cut off the paths of men. There must be another way to escape this predicament!"

  Insufficient to the left and right, four down with a sweep of the eyes, there is no place to borrow strength! There is also no one repairing here, in the field of vision only the sea and sky are vast, and then open up the spiritual domain to more than 200 miles far and near, the five senses feel the same as the visual power. Between the water and the sky, only the vastness remains, but where can you escape a thread of life?

  "External forces are unreliable! I rely solely on my own family!"

  Insufficient strength to escape with all one's might, while recognizing the vast expanse of the spiritual realm, the five spirits revolve, hastily thinking of a clever way to escape, a lifesaving ultimate move!

  Suddenly, a spark of inspiration flashed through his mind, but he couldn't grasp the fleeting thought. However, it was the ancient method of "Deceiving Heaven and Crossing the Sea"! The intricacies of this technique and its operation were unknown to him, but just this one hint of heaven's mechanism, once grasped, could burst forth with a million feet of flames! He suddenly recalled the time he had forged his divine realm in the apricot forest, using the Five Spirits to control the heavenly mechanisms. This mechanism was extremely mysterious, and when operated, it could make the opponent's attacks pass by without touching him. Earlier, when he had killed the two demonic beasts, he had manipulated the mechanism of the field, causing their attacks to lose accuracy and striking them with a fatal blow. The heavenly mechanism of this field seemed formless, shadowless, and intangible! Yet all techniques, including those of immortals and sages, as well as the operation of all things and laws, originated from within it and could not be externalized. He vaguely knew its mystery, knowing that if he could control it, he would surely become a great master! Now, with his life at stake, he had no choice but to unleash it! So, he withdrew his divine realm, condensing it into a single point, carefully sensing the heavenly mechanism of the field around him. In less than half a cup of tea's time, he had already connected with this mysterious heavenly primal force mechanism. A layer upon layer of fine mechanisms descended like silk threads, forming a massive array that covered the sky. The array was controlled by his divine realm, densely woven like a net or a canopy, precisely surrounding his body. In just one loud crash, he could no longer sense the outside world. His divine realm condensed to the size of a small child, with closed eyes, looking exactly like a miniature version of himself, standing within this web!

  That great demon was full of confidence, accelerating its pursuit. However, the distance of over 200 li was only perceptible to those in the divine realm and could not be seen with the naked eye! The enemy ahead was getting closer and closer, seemingly about to be caught up in another two moments, and then one strike would annihilate it, eliminating all future troubles!

  Insufficient, at this time his heart was still apprehensive, wondering if this method could deceive the gathering of demonic cultivators. In any case, he had to try it out! Suddenly, he turned around and flew rapidly, and after a moment, he used the Avoid Water Technique to dive into the water and disappear. He dove down to the rocky bottom of the turbid sea, tensely waiting! About two moments later, the outcome would be clear! Insufficient only felt that these two short moments seemed like an eternity, unbearable! These brief two moments were endless, seemingly without a conclusion!

  "What's going on? What's the reason for this? Where is everyone? How come there isn't a single trace of anyone?"

  The great demon suddenly shouted loudly and thought for a moment.

  "Could it be that my divine realm's luck is insufficient? Could it be that his speed and distance surpassed a certain family's? How could this be? I'm just an ordinary person cultivating! Did luck bring about some kind of artifact?"

  The great demon accelerated again and went forward. In less than two moments, it had already gone north to a place hundreds of miles away. But before he knew it, it had already turned eastward.

  "Ah! You scoundrel! You've ruined my son's life, I swear I'll kill you!"

  That great demon opened its divine power and searched non-stop within a radius of hundreds of miles, while dispatching hundreds of demonic beasts to surround and trap from all sides. There were also several powerful demons patrolling the hunting grounds, hoping to strike down those who were insufficient.

  Insufficient time spent underwater for two hours, and he knew that this method had actually deceived the demon cultivator, great joy! However, he quietly released a divine sense to feel, and saw that the four sides were surrounded by demonic beasts, with the demon cultivator constantly patrolling in the middle. If they waited for several more hours, they would surely be hunted down by them! He furrowed his brow in thought for a moment, then resolutely used this method to dive underwater and escape. However, if the demon cultivators didn't become disordered, but instead continued to carefully search, Insufficient was determined that he couldn't escape this danger!

  "Hum! We must kill the demon cultivator, make a big noise, and make them unable to take care of each other. Take advantage of the chaos and run away, only then can we escape!"

  With this settled, there was no more hesitation. Sneaking up quietly to a demon cultivator with the body of a beast and the head of a man, who had achieved the peak of condensed yuan cultivation, walking on water with an air of nonchalance, without even opening his protective divine light. Insufficient swam to a place dozens of feet below him, first carefully observing the route he would take after being attacked and escaping, calculating the route this demon cultivator would take when rushing over after seeing what happened here, as well as how fast or slow all these demon cultivators could flee. Finding an opportunity to escape! And then focusing on this demon, slowly rising up, again and again! Looking for the best point of attack, and then seeing that this demon cultivator was completely unaware, chatting loudly with another demon cultivator from afar. Insufficient focused on a point on his chest, secretly using all his might, suddenly jumping out, his sword flying according to his will, easily stabbing into his chest cavity, and then fiercely activating the array on the sword, the sword light shooting in all directions, just for an instant this demon's abdominal cavity was completely destroyed! That demon had its mouth open, eyes wide with a look of not knowing what was happening! Not even having time to let out a roar, it fell dead, its soul gone without a trace! Insufficient succeeded with one strike, and then jumped into the water, escaping by swimming away. A demon loudly shouted:

  "Ren Xiu is here! Ren Xiu is here! He has killed Fifth Brother! Quick... quick... hurry!"

  "Where is he? Don't panic! I'll personally behead this traitor!"

  That great demon roared in anger. Then the various demons surrounded and attacked, their line of attack coinciding with the insufficient calculations! Insufficient just quietly slipped out of the encirclement of the demonic beast, rushing eastward!

  "Ahh! I've fallen for this human's Golden Cicada Shell Escape plan! Quick! Quick! Quickly disperse and hunt down this thief! Five elements, one group, absolutely do not let him break through individually!"

  The demons quickly formed groups and surrounded them, nearly a hundred groups of demon cultivators chasing in all directions. Behind him, at least ten groups of demon cultivators were hot on his heels, and he had no choice but to desperately flee for his life! This non-stop pursuit had already lasted for twelve days!

  "Good! Human repair, it's been ages since I've met such a durable repair! Knowing you can hear the words of a certain family, I now swear to hunt you down within three days. If I fail, I will never pursue this again!"

  Insufficient, yet not speaking, only quickening the pace of escape, turning north to flee hastily! Although the law is majestic and the battle skills are refined, this is similar to the realm that can be overcome by a demon cultivator who has made great progress in gathering knowledge.

  "Just focus on escaping and don't bother with anything else! If you can just survive these three days, you might be able to save your life!"

  When insufficient to escape, the six gods' domain occasionally inquired about this demon repair. This time, chasing the demon repair added speed, but it was a gradual pursuit and progress, but it was just aimless. Insufficient would not be afraid of him! Just change direction again and shake off again! However, the method of controlling the heavenly air mechanism by the god of recognition cannot last long. Every time the insufficient footprint reappears, the big demon follows, waiting for the insufficient to catch his breath, and then use this method to confuse the gods' domain, it is possible to escape danger again!

  "For over a dozen days, you've been chasing and killing at our home, wanting to scare us to death? I'll come and kill this thieving rascal's prestige!"

  A thought arose, and the sword of yuan force was insufficient to be wielded, but with a slight movement in the divine realm, the sword suddenly disappeared and struck down at the great demon two hundred miles away! In just one thought, the sword of yuan force flashed with lightning and struck with a speed that left no time for cover. The great demon saw the sword coming out of thin air to kill it, and hastily used its own immortal sword to meet it. With a mournful sound, the great demon's immortal sword wailed and snapped! Although this strike did not harm the demon itself, yet this single slash from thin air broke the sword and made it disappear! Clearly, this was no ordinary immortal sword!

  That great demon was greatly shocked and said in a low voice:

  "How can this person manipulate the heavenly energy like that? It's actually possible to condense it into a sword and kill someone from 100 miles away, and its power is so mighty! Could he be a great cultivator? No way! Alas, the son of that family will not be able to avenge his great hatred!"

  The demon master stood on the cloud for a long time, sighed, turned around and left. His subordinates also followed him silently.
