Yanluo Urges Death, Impermanence Soul Fetching!
(Requests for monthly tickets)_2 As he finished speaking, Chen Dengming felt a bit guilty.
The group, Senluo, had likely been alarmed by his actions, and probably suffered casualties as a result.
Noticing that they seemed to be in deep thought, occasionally glancing warily at him, Dengming initiated a conversation using his incarnation.
...
“Who are you and what’s your relationship with that dragon?
I encountered several people dressed similarly to you in the Land of Fallen.
Are they your people?”
Just as Chen Dengming relayed his question, the two Golden Core Cultivators and seven or eight Foundation Establishments Cultivators launched an aggressive assault, their faces sullen.
“Capture this outsider and offer him as a sacrifice to the Holy Dragon!”
“Damn it!”
Chen Dengming cursed under his breath.
These people had no decency, they didn’t bother to answer his question and immediately attacked him with the intent of turning him into a sacrificial offering.
He promptly instructed his incarnation to retreat.
Unfortunately, the incarnation, possessing only the power of a False Core, was no match for the two Golden Core Cultivators and was quickly overtaken.
Dengming had no choice but to abandon his incarnation, ordering it to detonate, giving the opponents a taste of their own medicine.
However, after the incarnation exploded, the massive dragon, perched on the cliffside, once again let out a warning roar.
Suddenly, Dengming’s two other incarnations were discovered and were ruthily hunted down by the group of mysterious cultivators.
“This damned venomous dragon…”
Dengming now understood: the dragon hadn’t really spared him, but rather deemed him not worth its own attention.
Instead, it beckoned this group of uncivilized, beast-like beings to capture him.
…
Half an hour later.
Only one of Chen Dengming’s incarnations managed to successfully escape the pursuit.
However, due to the exhaustion of his Dan Power from his rapid escape, his available Heart Force had significantly decreased, reducing the remaining lifespan of his incarnation.
In four or five days, this incarnation would disintegrate on its own.
“This bunch of lunatics is truly hateful.
They attacked me without any provocation…
What’s their motive?
To please that brute?”
In the gloomy woods of the Land of Fallen, Dengming’s face looked rather unsightly.
He hadn’t expected that he’d lose two of his three incarnations as soon as he stepped out of the Land of Fallen — and for no fathomable reason, at that.
If these mysterious cultivators serving the dragon were that hostile, his plan to dispatch incarnations to explore the secret realms might be affected — not to mention his future plan to lead a group of his sect members out of the Four Regions.
“Given the circumstances, I need to report this to the Sect, along with the news of the Soul Devouring Sect’s invasion into the Border City.
It’s strange, the two Martial Uncles didn’t mention anything about a mysterious group of cultivators blocking the way after leaving the Land of Fallen.
Could this group be a force that has migrated here in recent decades?”
As Dengming was finding this puzzling, he was about to set up the Message Formation with the Array Plate when he suddenly felt a pang in his heart, as if his spirit was being detected from afar.
This feeling was familiar to him.
Back when he was targeted by the Soul Devouring Ancestor’s long-distance soul-locking technique, he felt the same horrifying sensation in his heart.
Suddenly, this strange sensation arose again.
“Fellow Daoist, beware…
we’ve been targeted by that old monster again…”
The Mini Array Spirit, awakened by the commotion in the Soul House, suddenly sent him a warning.
Dengming was surprised and quickly checked on the Mini Array Spirit, who had woken up from her breakthrough, “Are you being targeted too?”
“Yes…
I…
I feel like he is targeting me specifically…
it’s very uncomfortable…”
The Mini Array Spirit’s energy fluctuated weakly, as if the shock of being awakened during her breakthrough had destabilized her advancement.
Her figure flickered inconsistently and beneath her thin, cicada-wing-like clothing, her delicate waist and jade arms glowed enchantingly.
Chen Dengming was in no mood to appreciate the beauty before him.
On hearing that the Soul Devouring Ancestor was mainly targeting the Mini Array Spirit, his heart tightened.
“No, this is bad, fellow Daoist.
He is locating me…
Prepare yourself…”
The Mini Array Spirit cried out in warning.
Chen Dengming also felt his heart pounding in alarm, a hair-raising, terrifying sensation which left his skin tingling as if pierced by a thousand needles.
He felt an evil force invading his spirit.
“Damn it!
No matter where I go, dangers are lurking.
If I move forward, I face the vicious and if I move back, peril awaits.
I’m at the receiving end both ways!”
Chen Dengming’s heart pounded wildly.
At this moment, he did not have the time to ponder about why he was targeted.
He dared not indulge in wishful thinking.
Immediately, he leapt and flew swiftly into the air, maintaining a low-altitude flight, heading straight for the depths of the Land of Fallen.
His mind raced, forcing himself to stay calm and think of a solution.
It was absolutely impossible to escape to the outside of the Land of Fallen now.
That would be like walking into a trap.
However, inside the Land of Fallen was not any safer.
An entity like the Soul Devouring Ancestor, an expert in dealing with ghosts and a Nascent Soul cultivator himself, would find entering and exiting the Land of Fallen to be child’s play.
To escape from a being of this level, he must seek help from external factors.
Relying on his own power to fight head-on would be absolutely futile.
“If he truly chases after me, it seems my only option is to face death itself!”
Chen Dengming was on edge.

At the moment, he could only think of two extremely risky plans.
…
Meanwhile,
At Ming River, inside the cave where Chen Dengming had once lived, an elderly man clad in black with an ebony staff in hand stood still.
He tightly held a stone piece, which he had broken off from the cave, and placed it on his forehead between his eyebrows.
Concentrating his spirit on this corner of the stone bed that exuded pure soul power, he began tracking the distant pure soul body.
A moment later, he removed the stone piece, unveiling a glint in his eyes as he opened and closed them.
An icy, scornful smile crept up his aged lips.
“Two little rats, do they really think they can escape from this old man?
For me, the Land of Fallen is nothing more than a playground where I can come and go freely.”
He abruptly turned, his figure transforming into ghostly shadows that swept out of the cave, spreading an intense spiritual might that startled all who sensed it.
He was headed straight for the Land of Fallen.
His heart, which had been cold for years, began to simmer with warmth.
He didn’t even expect to find Longevity Daozi, this little rat’s trace while searching for his missing disciple.
What surprised him even more was that he caught a sense of an extremely familiar aura in Daozi’s warren— an aura which once haunted his dreams but remained elusive.
“Interesting…
Xue Zhen, after all these years, I thought you were dead.
Who would expect that we would meet again in such a peculiar manner?
Seems like our ties are quite deep…”
A gust of wind blew against his face.
The Soul Devouring Ancestor smiled strangely.
His silhouette, resembling a black cloud, crossed the Ming River in an instant and darted into the Land of Fallen.
In the Land of Fallen, Chen Dengming, who was trying to flee in stealth, felt his spirit tremble and his chest constricted with stress.
A very vivid image suddenly appeared in his mind: An elderly man in a black robe, holding an ebony staff.
Magnificence was imprinted on his face.
His gaze was filled with an uncanny radiance and icy, scornful smile.
His hand was holding a stone piece, and he was watching intently.
In the blink of an eye, the image disappeared as if declaring that the pursuer had arrived and was fixated on him.
There was no escape.
Chen Dengming’s heart seemed to miss a beat.
His hair stood on end, and he started sweating profusely.
The surrounding air seemed to riot, making him feel incredibly oppressed.
This was the innate fear of a weaker being facing a powerful life form.
The horror of facing a Nascent Soul, the dread building up when being under such oppressive feeling, was tantamount to despair in the face of doomsday.
The faint-hearted would go insane in an instant.
However, Chen Dengming immediately executed the Heavenly Immortal Dao Power, elevating his spirit to the Heavenly Heart State, forcefully breaking free from this mental weakness and fear.
He continued his planned escape.
From behind, a strong sense of threat and oppression advanced at a speed faster than his, closing in furiously.
It seemed like death was knocking, and the relentless chasing spirit couldn’t be evaded!
Chen Dengming’s mind worked at a formidable speed.
His face bore an extremely solemn look while he was deducing that he probably could not cross thousands of miles to reach the Four Regions to escape the relentless pursuit of the dragonlike creature with the current chase speed of his enemy.
He felt unbearably heavy.
His gaze suddenly shot towards the floating black clouds above him…
