Chapter 1691 Mark!

Ye Chuyun's face was pale. This sword strike had consumed nearly 70% of his strength, but the effect was remarkable.

He did not linger in the fight. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was still seriously injured, he transformed into a nine-colored stream of light, broke through the spatial blockade, and instantly disappeared into the horizon.

All that remained was a scene of devastation and a group of shocked and enraged trial participants.

"Chase him! He's exhausted and can't get far!" The Golden-Winged Roc disregarded his injuries and transformed into golden light to give chase.

The other trial participants gritted their teeth and followed suit.

But Ye Chuyun had already anticipated this.

After flying a thousand miles, he immediately concealed all his aura and used his clone technique to create three clones that fled in different directions. His main body, on the other hand, burrowed into the ground and used the earth element law to completely bury himself, entering a state of tortoise-like breathing.

The pursuers arrived quickly, but they only sensed the energy fluctuations of the three clones. They dispersed their pursuit and naturally missed their target.

Meanwhile, Ye Chuyun herself was deep underground, examining the spoils of this perilous robbery.

The Starry Sky Treasure Chest and the Abyss Source Energy Crystal lay quietly in the storage space.

In addition, that sword strike also took the lives of several seriously injured trial participants and earned over 200,000 points.

"Phew..." Ye Chuyun let out a long breath.

Although the process was thrilling, the gains were worthwhile.

Now, he needs to find a safe place to process these gains.

However, suddenly, a strange feeling crept into my heart.

It's a feeling of being marked, like the instinctive warning of prey being locked on by a hunter.

Ye Chuyun suddenly opened her eyes, used her divine sense to examine her inner self, and carefully scanned her entire body.

At first, he found nothing, but when he repeatedly examined the area, he finally caught a very subtle gray mark on the outer edge of his soul's origin.

The mark, like a living thing, was slowly and continuously absorbing the minute energy he emitted, and transmitting information in some unknown direction.

“Tracing the mark…” Ye Chuyun’s heart sank.

The ability to leave such a sophisticated mark on him without him even realizing it was something that none of the Heavenly Trialists who were chasing him could have done.

Instantly, he thought of the powerful spirit-level being hidden underground.

“It’s him!” Ye Chuyun’s eyes flashed with cold light.

It seems that the powerful spirit-level expert deliberately exposed himself to him.

When everyone knows that a powerful spirit-level being is eyeing them covetously, they will naturally be more cautious in their actions, hesitate in their competition, and may even give up in order to avoid risks.

But Ye Chuyun did the opposite, seizing the treasure with swift and decisive means.

"He must have been observing from the shadows, and after he saw me make my move, he chose me as his target."

"In his eyes, I not only possess a great treasure, but also a secret technique that can temporarily cross the Heavenly Realm boundary, making me far more valuable than other trial participants."

The mark cannot be easily removed. It is rooted in the soul and intertwined with Ye Chuyun's original aura. Forcibly removing it will at least damage the soul, and at worst, the mark will explode, directly exposing its location, and may even detonate part of the soul.

"What a brilliant method, what a vicious mark." Ye Chuyun tried several methods and found that the mark was like a bone-deep infection, and with his current abilities, he could not eradicate it in a short time.

So, there's only one choice left...

A fighting spirit gradually rose in Ye Chuyun's eyes.

“A Spirit-level expert… Hmph, it’s not like I can’t kill him.”

He no longer tried to hide, nor was he in a hurry to run away.

Since we can't escape, then we won't run.

Mark this spot, and that powerful being at the Spirit level will come knocking on your door sooner or later.

Rather than being passive and having the opponent wait for you to finish, it's better to take the initiative.

Ye Chuyun emerged from the ground and looked around.

This is a vast plain with a wide field of vision and flat terrain, which is not conducive to setting up an ambush, but it is also not conducive to the enemy secretly setting up a trap.

He needs an environment that is more favorable to him.

"Three thousand miles to the northwest, there is a Thunder Swamp, shrouded in highly poisonous miasma and violent lightning. The energy field there is extremely chaotic and can greatly interfere with perception," Ye Chuyun recalled the terrain information that his clone had explored.

"Right there, we'll fight this Spirit-level powerhouse!"

His figure transformed into a streak of light, flying at full speed towards the Bone-Corroding Thunder Swamp.

During the flight, Ye Chuyun maintained a defensive stance while taking out the [Abyssal Source Energy Crystal] she had just obtained from her storage space.

A crystal the size of a house floated in front of him, with swirling galaxies inside, radiating immense energy.

"I originally intended to save it for redeeming points, but now I really have no choice but to use it."

Ye Chuyun placed her hands on the surface of the crystal, fully activating her [Elemental Domination] talent, frantically absorbing the incomparably pure abyssal energy from the crystal.

Ordinary Heavenly Realm experts must be extremely careful and refine such immense energy slowly, otherwise they are very likely to be overwhelmed and even have their souls corrupted by the chaotic will contained within the energy.

But Ye Chuyun is different.

The [Elemental Domination] talent grants him an unbelievable level of control over energy, allowing him to quickly decompose and absorb incoming energy.

The reason for absorbing the energy within the [Abyssal Source Energy Crystal] is due to the unique environment within this endless abyss.

The laws here are chaotic, and the mana consumed is extremely difficult to recover.

Especially since he had just expended so much mana, and with a powerful spirit-level expert secretly watching him, he needed to replenish his energy as soon as possible.

In addition to being used to exchange for points, the [Abyssal Source Energy Crystal] contains extremely pure energy that can help Ye Chuyun quickly recover her mana.

After absorbing this pure energy, Ye Chuyun's aura recovered at a visible speed.

The 70% of power previously consumed was replenished in just a quarter of an hour, and it continues to grow.

At the same time, he diverted some of his attention to simulate possible battles with a Spirit-level powerhouse.

"The essential difference between the Spirit level and the Heaven level lies in the mastery of the laws and the application of the domain."

"The Heavenly level is merely a preliminary use of the power of laws, while the Spirit level is the comprehension of one or more systems of laws to a certain depth, enabling the initial construction of one's own law domain."

"Within the domain, the caster is the absolute master, able to greatly suppress the opponent and amplify their own side."

"When that powerful spirit-level being manifested earlier, his aura was chilling, suggesting he was likely skilled in the laws of shadow, death, or curses..."

Based on the fleeting impression she had just caught, Ye Chuyun quickly devised a battle plan.

The distance of three thousand miles is only a short ten minutes at full speed.

A region shrouded in a thick, gray-green fog appeared on the horizon ahead, with faint, silent flashes of purple lightning visible within the fog.

We've arrived in Raize.

Ye Chuyun rushed straight into it.

The thick fog instantly engulfed him. The fog here contained potent poison and strong corrosiveness, which ordinary Heavenly Realm experts would need to constantly resist with their protective energy.

At the same time, the chaotic energy field constantly interfered with the divine sense's exploration, and the visibility to the naked eye was less than 100 meters.

For Ye Chuyun, this was the perfect battlefield.
