#889 - Tracing the origins

Jun Wuxie began searching and sensing from this Fallen Star Region, but there was no effect.

He used the jade pendant given by Qingxuan, which retained Qingyue's unique aura, to sense Qingyue's possible aura imprint in the starry sky, but all failed.

"This is impossible, it doesn't make sense! This Fallen Star Region is the area where Qingyue fought for the longest time, there should be her aura left here..."

Jun Wuxie realized that there must be something strange, that a master used special means to erase these auras, which is why this happened.

"Who exactly is it? It's fine to deal with me and the people around me, but it seems they also want to put Qingyue to death. Are they not afraid of Qiwentang's crazy revenge?"

Jun Wuxie pondered for a moment, and then began to shuttle through this star field, engraving dense runes along the way.

The entire Fallen Star Region, except for the ancient star where the Heavenly Secret Land is located, all the other stars were used by him as formation eyes, engraving runes and evolving formations.

This consumes a lot of time, but there is no other way at present.

Although he has the jade pendant in his hand, it is, after all, something from Qingyue's past, and there is a difference from her current aura. It can only be used as an auxiliary tool to find her.

He spent several days in this star field alone.

When the magic formation was completed, all the stars here glowed together, lighting up the star field.

"Tracing the Source!"

Jun Wuxie injected a formation diagram into the magic formation.

Gradually, images appeared in the starry sky covered by the magic formation.

That was a picture of dozens of peak powerhouses chasing Qingyue.

In the picture, Qingyue was covered in blood, her cyan dress turned blood red, her face was extremely pale, and she was caught up and surrounded by several peak powerhouses.

Seriously injured, she tried her best to break through, forcibly pierced the chest of a powerhouse, seriously injuring him, and took the opportunity to rush out of the encirclement.

At this moment, Jun Wuxie's pupils shrank suddenly.

When Qingyue ran to the edge of this star field, an old man appeared, his purple blood energy was monstrous, submerging the starry sky at the edge. His body was ten thousand feet tall, like a towering mountain, his palms and fingers covering the sky, suppressing Qingyue.

Moreover, the old man released a special aura, forming a terrifying field covering a hundred thousand miles, frantically crushing Qingyue, causing her, who was seriously injured, to vomit blood.

"This is... the Human King Domain!"

Jun Wuxie's eyes were cold, and the figure of the old man quickly overlapped with the appearance of someone in his memory.

Rumble!

The old man's palms and fingers were extremely powerful, and his power was much stronger than that of the ancestor of the Tianjing Sect.

This shows that his talent growth intensity is at least at the peak of the Tenth Heaven of Ancient Legends, and even infinitely close to the quasi-mythical realm.

Just as his heart was contracting, worrying about Qingyue, a bright cyan light lit up on Qingyue's body.

Dense cyan runes appeared on the surface of her body.

A bright moon quickly rose behind her, soaring into the sky, resisting the old man's palm.

At the same time, a cyan lotus flowing with seven-colored light rushed out from the position of her chest, breaking through the limitations of spatial distance, and instantly appeared in front of the old man's ten-thousand-foot body, and slammed into him.

The old man's huge body was directly knocked away, spitting out a mouthful of purple blood, and the part that was hit was covered with cracks, flesh and blood burst open, and blood dripped.

Qingyue took the opportunity to go away, not knowing what secret technique she used, her body shrunk into a spot of light, and disappeared in an instant.

"Hmph, your origin and Dao fruit are indeed terrifying, but how many more times can you use them? Although the starry sky is vast, where can you escape to?"

The old man muttered to himself, and then shouted to a certain starry sky: "Two fellow Taoists, don't just watch, if you had taken action just now, we would have captured her alive at this moment, so that she could show her true form, and then seize her Dao fruit!"

"It's not too late to take action now, we have already locked onto her, as long as we block the direction of her return to Qiwentang, she will have nowhere to escape."

Two old men with white beards and hair appeared, each with sharp eyes and an aura as deep as the sea.

"People from the Starry Sky Ancient Road headquarters?"

Jun Wuxie's eyes became colder and colder. If he hadn't traced the source and seen all this with his own eyes, he would never have thought that the people chasing Qingyue were actually these people.

The clothes on the two old men who appeared later, although the styles were ancient, had very obvious signs belonging to the headquarters of the Starry Sky Ancient Road.

"Don't dawdle, capture her as soon as possible. Whether we can open the passage to the upper realm universe before the end-of-world torrent comes, the hope lies in her. What this means, you two fellow Taoists should understand in your hearts. This matter cannot tolerate any mistakes!"

The old man with the blood of the Human King looked solemn, and then took action to erase the traces and aura here.

"Go!"

The two old men from the Starry Sky Ancient Road headquarters took the lead, and the old man with the blood of the Human King also disappeared into this star field after erasing the traces with special means.

"Qingyue, I didn't expect that you would hide such a secret..."

Jun Wuxie felt very shocked. Qingyue hid the secret to the upper realm universe. Did she know how to open the passage to the upper realm universe?

But these are not important at the moment. What is important is that she must be found as soon as possible, and she must not fall into the hands of those people.

Judging from her situation when she broke through, her injuries were already serious. If she forcibly uses the power of her origin and Dao fruit again, the situation will inevitably be worse, and I don't know how long she can last.

He withdrew the magic formation, and his figure flashed and disappeared into the starry sky.

When he traced the source just now and presented what happened here, he used the rune technique to plant a mark on Qingyue's body in the image.

Although, that was just Qingyue's past self, after all, it was something that happened a few days ago, it was already in the past.

But through her past, he can calculate the future trajectory. This is a special method for the Yuanshi Rune Master to track in harmony with the heaven and earth.

As long as she is in this world, he can find her through this method.

Now the only thing he is worried about is whether she can hold on until he finds her, and whether she has already fallen into the hands of those people.

"Xiao Renwang, the old man beside you is hiding very deeply. If I hadn't traced the source today, I really wouldn't have thought that this old guy would be so powerful!"

Jun Wuxie crossed the endless star field, deducing and tracking all the way.

"You want to escape to the upper realm, it's not that easy. You have repeatedly plotted against me in secret, do you think you can leave without paying the price?"

He knew that Xiao Renwang wanted to leave, mostly because he saw that things were impossible.

Whether it was the Ji Beilan incident, or so many forces in the starry sky forming a coalition to attack Di Shixing and his dynasty, there must be shadows of Xiao Renwang and that old man behind it.

Thinking about it now, he also felt fortunate that Yinlan was able to escape from that old man's hands in the first place, how difficult it was.

At that time, her realm was very low, and it was so difficult to win a chance of survival in front of a giant at the peak of the extremely heavenly position who was infinitely close to the quasi-mythical realm.

He tracked in the starry sky for more than a day, at a speed of hundreds of times the speed of light, and he didn't know how many star fields he had crossed. This is an astronomical distance.

However, for the vast universe, a star sea is just a grain of dust.

According to the tracking mark, he felt that the distance between himself and Qingyue was getting closer and closer.

On this day, he arrived at an ancient life star.

The cultivation civilization on this ancient life star is not very prosperous, and the area of the planet is about one-tenth of that of Di Shixing.

There are only a few peak powerhouses on the planet, and the rest are ordinary extremely heavenly positions.

The population here is quite large, and the cities are very lively and prosperous.

But on this planet with a relatively weak cultivation civilization, there is a very terrifying area.

That is a red land stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles, with no vegetation, only red rocks and mud.

This red land is located in the center of a vast mountain range.

"This is not a natural field, what a heavy blood evil aura!"

Jun Wuxie landed in front of the red land. With his ability, he had already seen that the red land in front of him was not a real scene, but was covered by a magic formation field.

The real scene is a Shura field that is much more terrifying than it looks.

The rune pupil technique was activated, the illusory scene disappeared, and what appeared in his sight was a vast ancient battlefield, with plains, broken mountains, dry riverbeds, and corpses all over the ground. Decayed weapons were scattered on the ground, covered in rust.

He stepped into the ancient battlefield, and suddenly a terrifying magic formation killing rose into the sky, evolving into various forms of weapons, and violently bombarded him.

"The power of the killing formation is not weak."

Jun Wuxie casually shattered the magic formation killing, but the magic formation killing continuously attacked him.

The runes under his feet bloomed, moving his position, and the killing instantly subsided.

"After such a long period of time, the power of the magic formation has been greatly weakened, and it can still possess the attack power equivalent to a peak giant close to the Tenth Heaven of Ancient Legends. In its heyday, I am afraid it could shake myths!"

He walked towards the depths of the battlefield while carefully observing the structure of the magic formation using the rune pupil technique.

"This is the Blood Soul Killing Formation, which gathers the blood souls of the dead to evolve killing. It is not a particularly ingenious magic formation, but it can achieve such power. It seems that the rune master who laid down this formation back then had quite profound rune attainments..."

He originally wanted to see what kind of killing formation it was and whether there was a need to learn it, but the result was somewhat disappointing, but he was very shocked.

The rune master back then must have been a powerhouse at the peak of the tenth realm.

"Qingyue entered here, can she avoid the magic formation? Unless she also understands rune techniques..."

Jun Wuxie quickened his pace and used the rune technique. There was no obstacle to traveling here, and he did not touch the killing all the way.

Along the way, he saw too many corpses to count.

Among these corpses, he saw many with particularly crystalline bones that had not weathered with age, still gleaming with a faint luster. Some even had traces of weak energy that had not completely dissipated.

"So, this place was once one of the battlefields during the cataclysmic floods of a certain era..."

He was no stranger to these skeletons, having seen similar ones before. They belonged to creatures from the dark universe, and the faint energy within them was dark energy.

It seemed this ancient life star was not backward in a certain era, but rather quite powerful. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a battlefield here.

Perhaps it was because they resisted the darkness in that era that the cultivation civilization here declined and the inheritance was cut off.

As he was about to reach the core area of the battlefield, booming sounds and powerful energy fluctuations came from ahead.

However, because this place was within a formation, those energy fluctuations did not spread too far.

Using his pupil technique, he saw three old men. They were the old man beside Xiao Renwang and the two from the Starry Sky Ancient Road headquarters.

They were fighting against the killing formation, forcibly pushing through its attacks, but their progress was slow.

"That little girl Qing Yue really knows how to find a place, hiding in this ancient battlefield, thinking she can stop us with the killing formation here. What wishful thinking!"

A supreme giant from the Starry Sky Ancient Road headquarters sneered.

Although the killing power of the formation was strong, greatly affecting their speed, it could not stop them from advancing.

It was evident that these people were all supreme giants at the tenth level of the Eternal Legend Realm; otherwise, they could not have reached this position.

"Hmph, according to the aura we've been tracking, she hasn't moved for a long time and is getting weaker and weaker. She's already a turtle in a jar."

"Killing Qing Yue this time will make Qiwelou our mortal enemy. However, none of this matters anymore. By the time they come to kill us, we will have already gone to the upper realm, hahaha!"

"It's just a pity that we couldn't kill that Jun Wushang, leaving a regret."

The old man with the bloodline of the Human King sighed, his words filled with deep unwillingness.

"Hmph, it's not too late to kill him when we get to the upper realm. If he can survive to the upper realm, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive the cataclysmic floods!"

"So what if he does? If he goes to the upper realm, he won't have any backing. We are different. In the upper realm, we can be considered to have some support. Killing someone without any background is as easy as crushing an ant!"

...

Jun Wushang heard their conversation.

He wanted to kill them, but he restrained the killing intent in his heart and instead avoided them, quickly heading towards the depths of the core area.

He also sensed that Qing Yue's condition was very bad, to the point that his perception was somewhat illusory, indicating that her life was extremely weak, perhaps even on the verge of death.

In the core area of this battlefield, there was a large mountain, but not a peak, broken in the middle.

Jun Wushang came to the top of the broken mountain and looked down. It was a hazy mist, with a cold and evil aura permeating from below.

"Qing Yue went down into this abyss?"

He sensed Qing Yue's aura was actually below the abyss.

This place looked wrong, and she was running for her life, so why would she trap herself in such a place?

Even his Primordial True Eyes and Rune Dao Pupil Technique could not see through the gray mist in the abyss, and he did not know what was on the ground.

Faintly, he seemed to hear painful sounds coming from the bottom of the abyss, sounding somewhat like Qing Yue.

Without hesitation, Jun Wushang soared into the air.

When he passed through the gray mist, he felt a cold aura like countless icy needles piercing into his body, making him feel cold all over, and a chill rose in his bones.

He immediately erected a golden blood energy shield, which isolated the invasion of the cold air.

After a moment, he landed at the bottom of the abyss.
