Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

“What? Both the Patriarch and Jiang Yi are missing?”

It had been five days since the battle in the Summer Rain City. The scouts and spies planted by several other kingdoms in the Great Xia Kingdom investigated over and over again, but the news they sent back made the hearts of Ling Xue, Xiao Longwang, and the rest sink to the bottom.

In the southernmost part of the Great Xia Kingdom, there was a huge mountain range; and traces of fierce battles were found. Many mountains were shattered by finger forces, and a large mountain forest was burned by fire. All the evidence indicated that the Patriarch and Jiang Yi once had a fierce battle here, but why were the two missing?

Jiang Yi was outside the Summer Rain City alone, and he fought with four Vajra Realm absolute masters. Finally, he killed three of them and scared off Xiao Longwang and Sha Di, making the world turbulent. The five forces could only put their hopes on the Ling Clan Patriarch.

In the end…

Ling Clan Patriarch and Jiang Yi had a battle in the south of the Great Xia Kingdom before both disappeared. How could the crowd not worry? The strength of Ling Clan Patriarch was at the peak stage of the Vajra Realm, but the fight persisted for such a long time? In the end, he was still unable to kill Jiang Yi. Was Jiang Yi’s fighting power the same as that of the Patriarch? Or did he burn Ling Clan Patriarch instead? At this moment, was he hiding somewhere—planning to kill all the enemies and unify the continent?

Jiang Yi had always been sneaky. If Ling Clan Patriarch won, the news would probably be spread all over the world to stabilize morale. Even if the Patriarch was badly hurt, he would still ask someone to send a message back. However, no one heard from him now. How could the crowd not be restless?

“Saint Lady, where do you think they go?”

Under the Hades Abyss, Elder Lu looked solemnly at Ji Tingyu. Jiang Yi impressed them once again. How long had it been? How could Jiang Yi even be comparable to Ling Clan Patriarch? If it wasn’t for Ji Tingyu’s plan to let the Demon Empress leave and to stop Shui Youlan and the old monk, he was afraid that no one on the continent could suppress Jiang Yi by the time the three-year promise was due.

“Where else can they go? Either the south sea or the east sea!”

Ji Tingyu was reading the information sent back by the scouts. Every piece of information had to be pondered for a long time. Her expression was always calm and peaceful, and there was a faint trace of smiles across her lips. She shook her hands and said, “Elder Lu, don’t worry. Jiang Yi can’t defeat Ling Clan Patriarch.”

“Oh?”

Elder Lu’s eyes brightened. He asked nervously, “Why did Saint Lady say this? And… how do you conclude that they are going out to sea? The sea is full of powerful sea demons; do they want to die?”

“Ke-Ke!”

Ji Tingyu didn’t explain. She chuckled and continued to study the information. After a long time, she asked, “Where’s Elder Zeng?”

Elder Lu cupped his hands and replied, “He’s already in the Wide Chill Ice Plains and should come back in one day. Saint Lady has calculated correctly. Elder Zeng has accomplished his tasks.”

“Em!” Nodding her head faintly, she asked again, “When will the Chief Hall Master be back?”

Elder counted the time and said, “At most half a month.”

“Alright!”

Ji Tingyu stood up and smiled faintly. “Okay, everything is in my grasp. Even if Jiang Yi escapes from the Patriarch, he won’t break free of my control. Elder Lu can rest assured.”

…

Swish!

In the sky above the east sea, a giant beast whizzed away. Two streams of reddish yellow light were emitted from its body, which looked like magma flowing through the skin. Two horns on its tail and head respectively looked even more like two balls of jumping flames.

A young man in a blue robe was sitting on the giant beast. His red hair was fluttering in the wind. The young man was sitting cross-legged and relaxed with his eyes closed. The beast had some obvious wounds over its body, but they already turned into scars—so it had more or less recovered its health.

Swish!

Suddenly, a black spot flew rapidly in the distance, which was much faster than the giant beast. They were constantly pulled closer. The immense pressure was pressing like a mountain, drastically lowering the speed of the giant beast.

Finally, he’s catching up!

The young man on the giant beast opened his eyes and showed a trace of bitterness on his lips. Only five days had passed, and Ling Clan Patriarch already found him. This was even after he tore his clothes into more than ten pieces and let a dozen of sea demons carry them around.

After Jiang Yi decided to go to the Sea of Death, he had been trying to delay the time. For example, he instantly-shifted to the sea to hide his aura. He also took some sea demons from the Universal Palace and let them run in all directions while bringing his clothes, hair, and even flesh and blood.

He tried his best to get rid of Ling Clan Patriarch, but he failed anyway.

Of course… he also hoped that Ling Clan Patriarch would catch up; otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to lure him to the Sea of Death. Unfortunately, it would be perfect if he found him a few more days later. There were still four or five days away from the Sea of Death!

“Hahaha! Kid, can you fool me with such meager tricks? Prepare to die!”

Ling Clan Patriarch rushed over with unprecedentedly condescending momentum. His fingers were pointing arbitrarily, sending waves of finger forces with the immense imperial aura towards Jiang Yi. He sealed off all the possible positions that the Yazi Beast might run to.

Roar! Roar!

When the Yazi Beast detected the fatal danger, it didn’t run away. Instead, it turned around and lit up its horns, ready to release sorcery to fend off Ling Clan Patriarch’s attack.

“Demon king, you go back! You can’t win against him!”

Jiang Yi waved his hand, and the Universal Palace in his hand instantly glowed. The Yazi Beast had no choice by to turn into a faint image and disappear inside the Universal Palace. Jiang Yi raised his hand and formed a sea of fire. Immediately, he instant-shifted again; otherwise, he could be smashed into powders by the Imperial Finger Force.

“Hey, still trying to escape?”

Ling Clan Patriarch no longer held back his power and sped up drastically. After taking a turn, he rushed to the sea, avoiding the sea of fire in the air. Then he emerged from the sea all of a sudden and dashed towards Jiang Yi in the front.

“Damn!”

The Patriarch was rushing to him at full speed. Jiang Yi felt the pressure instantly. He had to choice but to lit up another sea of fire. At the same time, the Fire Spirit Pearl glowed and shot out several balls of Netherworld Ghost Flames.

The Netherworld Ghost Flames were much hotter than the Nine Heavens’ Dragon Flames. Although they were hundreds of meters above the sea, the sea beneath them started to boil, giving out some white steam.

“En?”

Ling Clan Patriarch dared not to lower his guard this time. He retreated first and bypassed the sea of fire before continuing his chase. He didn’t think that Jiang Yi had inexhaustible ghost flames. As long as he could get several kilometers closer, he was confident to kill Jiang Yi with one strike.

Every time the Patriarch tried to reduce the distance between the two, he was forced to retreat by Jiang Yi’s Netherworld Ghost Flames. The deadlock persisted for half a day. Jiang Yi got anxious. Though he had quite some Netherworld Ghost Flames inside the Fire Spirit Pearl, they wouldn’t last for five days if being used at such rate.

“Huh! Little bastard, die! Space Oscillation!”

Jiang Yi no longer had to worry about these problems on the next second—as Ling Clan Patriarch finally decided to show his killer move after observing for half a day. After he dodged Jiang Yi’s fire attack, he suddenly let out a palm strike. Though it didn’t appear to be destructive and Jiang Yi didn’t feel a sense of fatal danger deep down, his facial expression changed drastically upon seeing the space behind him.

Buzz!

Just as the rain rippled the peaceful lake, space was suddenly rippled as well. The waves crossed with one another and collided before they started to vibrate quickly. The entire space with kilometers of radius oscillated ceaselessly.

Jiang Yi intended to instant shift, but he realized he couldn’t do it. If he forced himself, the distorted space would twist him into powder.

Jiang Yi had seen this Space Oscillation dao pattern attack; Xia Tingwei could perform it as well! Ling Clan Patriarch had never used the dao pattern attack. Surprising, he also realized the space dao pattern which was one of the heaven-and-earth dao patterns.

Ling Clan Patriarch never showed his true strength; when he did, it was phenomenal!

Ling Clan Patriarch was so good at enduring. He never used the killer moves or revealed his last resort before getting to know his enemy. Once he used them, he intended to kill!

Sigh… there’s no other way! I have to turn to the last resort!

Jiang Yi clenched his teeth. The Universal Palace suddenly became brighter, and a white jade palace shot out, which became bigger and bigger and soon turned into a huge palace. Clearly, it was the Thearch Palace of the Demon Empress.
