A long beam of light flashed over the capital of the Ling Dynasty with a terrifying astral wind.

When Wu Qi zoomed past Wanling, no one in the city realized what had happened. But then seven Supreme Towers stationed in the sky over the capital were smashed by him, causing countless bricks and tiles to fall like a storm, which destroyed many buildings, wounding and killing numerous people.

Zhang Tengyun could not move because he was exercising a mystic art to stabilize his emperor aura and divine soul with the star power. Celestial Lord Yiqi, on the other hand, flew into a rage and shot into the sky, crying at the top of his lungs, “What demon dares to cause troubles here!”

The sound of his voice was still ringing in the air when the fiend flew past him like a spirit and casually slapped him on the head, turning it into red pulp like a rotten watermelon. Only then did the courtiers, oracles, and immortals of the Ling Dynasty respond. One after another, they leaped into the air and flew toward the fiend. But, a soft, enchanting moan suddenly rang out, and then a thousand fires bloomed in the sky.

The fiend’s power was incredible. With only a soft moan, she had made the hearts of a thousand higher-ups of the Ling Dynasty burn with evil fires. The invisible fires rushed from the crowns of their heads and burned all the way down to their soles, kindling their flesh and magic power and causing their bodies to burst into flames of different colors. Soon afterward, they fell heavily to the ground and exploded like meteors. Fires darted tens of miles away, burning off all the nearby luxurious palaces and pavilions, and reducing the soldiers who had come to inspect the scene into ashes.

A single soft moan had caused the Ling Dynasty a thousand experts, and nearly a hundred thousand common soldiers.

The fiend giggled and then cried out in a low voice, “How dare you attack me? Just you wait!”

She snorted coldly a few times, then stirred up a cloud of smoke and chased after Wu Qi, who had fled far away. As she flew, she let out a throaty laugh and said, “Why are you fleeing? Wherever you go, I’ll follow, and you will die eventually! No one has ever escaped me…So, where do you think you are going?”

Wu Qi pressed on hastily without looking back, purposely flying past the major cities and fortresses of Ling Dynasty, zooming over them at a very low altitude. As he expected, whenever he flew past them, the well-trained generals and soldiers of the Ling Dynasty immediately shot up into the sky to stop him. As a result, they always met with the fiend behind him.

The fiend, with her cultivation base almost reaching the peak of the Dao Breaking realm, was a fearsome figure. Anyone who dared to block her way was instantly killed by her with a casual slap. As Wu Qi fled, he passed tens of thousands of cities and fortresses, and over ten million generals and soldiers were killed by the angry fiend. Wu Qi did abide by his agreement with Zhang Tengyun; he did not attack any of the soldiers, and those killed by the fiend was not his work.

In order to inflict the hardest blow on the Ling Dynasty, Wu Qi flew a long way east. When he got out of the dynasty’s territory, he broke into the void and flew out from behind the fiend, then turned around and flew west. He found another route and used the fastest speed to travel through the dynasty’s territory once again. The fiend was so determined to kill him and vent her anger that she did not realize that she had been used. With her eyes gleaming, she chased closely behind Wu Qi.

With a strange ripping noise, Wu Qi zoomed over Wanling once again.

This time, dozens of Supreme Oracles joined their power and cast a very strong spell to attack him. But, Wu Qi was too fast, and it missed him by a hair. Instead, the blow struck the fiend, who was thrown flying away with a slap by a huge statue of a Ghost God that stood a thousand miles tall and was surrounded by ghostly flames.

The power of the spell was terrible, for it was jointly cast by dozens of Supreme Oracles. Even though the fiend’s attainment and magic power had both reached the peak of the Dao Breaking realm, her body was nowhere near as good. And as she was so determined to hunt down Wu Qi, she did not expect something so unlucky to happen. The slap nearly blew her fair, delicate body to pieces. The severe pain caused fiend flames to burst from her seven orifices while bits of purple blood shot out of her mouth.

Boiling with rage, the fiend locked down Wu Qi with a wisp of divine sense, then threw her head back and let out a shrill cry as she pressed both hands down, with rainbow clouds surrounding them.

After a series of rapid explosions, the tens of thousands of defensive spells on the city walls were all destroyed by her. The huge city of Wanling crumbled with a boom, and the whole mountain was forcibly pressed thirty thousand miles deep into the ground. Earth fires boiled, causing plumes of lava and poisonous flames to shot up. Countless officials and people in the city screamed and wailed as the flames engulfed them, while the almighty experts of the Ling Dynasty ran about in panic to quench the fire, trying their best to save as many lives as possible.

The fiend screeched as the rainbow fiend energy all over her condensed into a huge fiend, who had nine heads with pretty faces and eighteen arms. It plunged from the sky and destroyed the tall Ghost God jointly conjured by the dozens of Supreme Oracles with one swift blow. After that, the beautiful fiend swung her eighteen arms at the same time. Over thirty Supreme Oracles in the sky howled miserably together as they were smashed to pulps like eggs.

With a sneer, the fiend shot a venomous look at the city of Wanling that had been struck deep into the ground. By her nature, she should have rushed down and killed all the living beings in the city. But, a strong feeling of impending crisis had been circling around her. After some hesitation, she finally gave up the idea of attacking the city and went after Wu Qi instead.

Chasing Wu Qi did not give her that feeling of impending crisis, and she had an intuition that the moment she attacked the city would be the time of her demise. The premonition that pointed straight to the essence of the divine soul made her uneasy, so she chose to go after Wu Qi almost instinctively.

But at this moment, Wu Qi had already flown another large circle, and was laughing while flying toward the east.

The fiend’s eyes turned green with rage as her body broke apart and dissolved into a cloud of rainbow smoke, flying at a speed that was ten times faster than before. With only a few flickers, she was right behind Wu Qi. A sneer could be heard as a fair, delicate, tiny arm reached out of the cloud, pressing toward Wu Qi’s back. “Die now, daoist! Your blood essence is very pure and rich…I like it very much!”

The palm pressed down but touched nothing. Just like how the fiend’s body turned into a cloud of rainbow smoke, Wu Qi’s body suddenly disintegrated into a cloud of green lights that looked like rain and shot forward. His speed had also increased by at least ten times, and the distance between him and the fiend was widened once again.

Stunned for a brief moment, the fiend growled as her body stretched out into an extremely fine rainbow ray that pierced through the void, catching up with Wu Qi.

As the chase continued, Wu Qi quickly traversed the primal lands that were rapidly growing at the east side of Pangu Continent, crossing the border between the topside and the reverse side of the continent and heading straight in the direction of the Origin Tree of Fire. The fiend did not know what Wu Qi was going to do on the reverse side of Pangu Continent, neither did she know what terrible figures were hidden here. She was just foolishly chasing after him, determined to hunt him down.

After a long flight, a blaze rose into the sky in front of him, and an unusually tall scarlet divine tree appeared in sight. Wu Qi’s body swayed, and then an illusion shot out of him as he cried out at the top of his lungs, “Greathorns! Greathorns! Help me deal with this damn woman!”

A plume of fire shot over as Greathorns’s wild laughter rang out like a sudden thunderclap, stinging Wu Qi’s ears. Excited, the Lord of Fire punched the illusion in the head, smashing it in an instant. While he was struck dumb, Wu Qi appeared next to him with a smile and said, “I take it as you have beaten me this time, so you can’t punch me again later!”

Greathorns blinked repeatedly. He did not understand how he, a Dao Fusing expert, was fooled by the illusion conjured by Wu Qi, who was only a Dao Breaking expert. But, no matter how hard he racked his brain, he just could not figure out the reason. Frustrated, he threw his head back and roared furiously, then vented all his anger at the fiend who had followed Wu Qi here.

The fiend was rather clever. As soon as she heard Greathorns’s laughter, she immediately turned around and fled like a kitten who had just seen a tiger, running for her life at the fastest speed. She had perceived a terrible aura from Greathorns that could completely wipe her out—it was the aura of the supreme existence in this world. In the face of Dao Fusing experts, any other experts of lower realms, including Dao Breaking and Dao Reasoning, were nothing but targets they could kill effortlessly.

But, she could not get away!

The flames around Greathorns only flickered once, and in the next instant, he was blocking right in front of the fiend and slapping her in the face.

“Old monster asks me to help him deal with you, so how dare you run away from me? If you try to run again, I’ll break your legs!”

Wu Qi had no way to measure the strength of Greathorns’s slap. After all, he had not yet reached the realm of Dao Fusing, so he had no way of knowing some of the secrets of this realm. Nevertheless, the result of the slap was visible to the naked eyes. The fiend, who had transformed into a cloud of rainbow smoke, was slapped back to her human form. Half of her face was almost gone as she spun tens of thousands of times in midair with her eyes rolled backward, before falling in front of Wu Qi in a sorry state.

Anyhow, the fiend was fierce and unyielding. When she was slapped by Greathorns, she roared so furiously that it seemed she had gone crazy. In the next instant, her body was surrounded by a rainbow light, and then the ten-thousand-feet tall beautiful fiend with nine heads and eighteen arms plunged from the sky, clad in countless pearls and jade necklaces, and decorated with numerous gemstones, looking very enchanting. The colossal figure fell with seductive moans, and Wu Qi felt strength leaving him when he heard the sound.

But, Greathorns was not a lustful man.

A blaze flashed, and the Lord of Fire rushed in front of the fiend, kicking her in the belly and knocking her straight up before slamming headfirst into the Origin Tree of Fire. The lion man, who was squatting on a branch and could no longer contain his desire to fight, roared as he swung his shield and longsword while leaping down the tree, slashing and hacking at the fiend frantically.

A great plume of fire burst out of the divine tree and engulfed the colossal fiend that plunged from the sky, stopping it from falling further.

Greathorns rushed to the fiend’s side, who was trying her best to resist the storm-like attacks of the lion man, and whispered a spell. Then, he held her head with one hand and began to punch her with the other like a pile driver. Every second, he landed at least tens of thousands, and sometimes hundreds of thousands of punches on her. The frequency was so high that even Wu Qi was shocked. He knew he did not have such speed at the moment.

The fiend howled and screamed as clouds of rainbow smoke kept gushing out of her body. Those were her natal energy essence.

Wu Qi came to Greathorns’s side as he smiled and said hypocritically, “Well, just do as I bid and you won’t be beaten again!”

She strenuously turned her eyeballs and gave Wu Qi a look, then suddenly burst into tears. Wu Qi was struck dumb, and Greathorns was so frightened that he stopped punching her immediately and took dozens of steps back.
