#9080 - Hidden in the dark
The time fissures within the Eternal Tribulation Domain were not fixed; instead, they constantly shifted positions, with new fissures appearing and old ones healing.
However, at this moment, in the face of Yan Huo, who was essentially impossible to escape from, a time fissure suddenly appeared. Jiang Yun could confidently assert that it could only be the work of the Great Ominous Eternal Tribulation!
As for why the Eternal Tribulation would intervene, Jiang Yun speculated that it should be related to the Longevity Dao Art he had used.
The Longevity Dao Art inherently involved the power of time, reversing it.
And the power of the Eternal Tribulation was also similar to the power of time.
If that were the case, logically, the Eternal Tribulation should be targeting him.
Yet, it had instead rescued Yan Huo!
This was not good news for Jiang Yun.
However, Jiang Yun was not sure if the Eternal Tribulation would attack him again, so he no longer concealed his strength and simply re-condensed the Primordial Ember Flame into a Drought Bone Fire Nail,迎向迎向 to meet the final Drought Bone Fire Nail that Yan Huo had shot at him.
“Boom!”
As the two Drought Bone Fire Nails collided, another burst of fire mist rose, blotting out the sky and earth.
Within the mist, Jiang Yun split into nine clones, each pursuing one of the nine phoenixes that Yan Huo had transformed into!
In fact, Jiang Yun knew that the remaining eleven phoenixes were merely illusions created by Yan Huo to allow his true form to escape.
But Jiang Yun still didn't want to give up.
What if Yan Huo's true form was hidden among these eleven phoenixes!
The result, of course, was that he gained nothing.
Jiang Yun recalled the nine clones, and after a moment, Xu Ba and Pan Yue also returned to Jiang Yun's side.
Xu Ba clasped his fist towards Jiang Yun and said, "My lord, the two phoenixes we chased have already dissipated, and what they were carrying was not the Primordial Ember Flame."
Jiang Yun nodded.
Originally, Jiang Yun had a 90% certainty of capturing Yan Huo and obtaining the wisp of Primordial Ember Flame within him.
But he never expected that at the critical moment, the Great Ominous Eternal Tribulation would actually intervene and help Yan Huo escape.
Jiang Yun stepped towards the time fissure that Yan Huo had entered.
The time fissure did not disappear because of Yan Huo's entry.
Jiang Yun released his divine sense into the fissure, and immediately lost all sense of it.
To be honest, he was tempted to enter the fissure and take a look, but he knew too little about the Eternal Tribulation, and he didn't know where this time fissure led.
Moreover, since the Eternal Tribulation had helped Yan Huo, it meant that the Eternal Tribulation regarded him as an enemy.
In that case, not to mention this time fissure, the entire Eternal Tribulation Domain was no longer safe.
Therefore, Jiang Yun ultimately abandoned the idea of entering the time fissure and instead said to Xu Ba and Pan Yue, "We're returning to the Sky Eternal Shackles Abyss."
Jiang Yun had destroyed eight Dao bodies in a row and fought a great battle with Yan Huo. There was also a wisp of Primordial Ember Flame within his body that had not yet been fused. He had to find a safe place to heal and complete the fusion of that wisp of Primordial Ember Flame.
The reason why Pan Yue suddenly changed his attitude, apart from being awed by Jiang Yun's strength, was also because he had gained too many benefits during the days he had followed Jiang Yun.
The forty-eight corpses of Transcendent Realm experts, as well as the items they carried, were divided equally between him and Xu Ba, and were far more than he had obtained in his entire life.
Therefore, he wanted to perform well in front of Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun looked at Pan Yue with a smile that was not a smile, "Aren't you slow?"
“You can't possibly have me sit on your body and roll out of the Eternal Tribulation Domain with you!”
Pan Yue forcefully patted his chest, making a deafening sound, "Of course not, although I am slow, I am a Stone Demon, and the power of the Eternal Tribulation doesn't affect me much."
That was the truth.
The effect of the power of time on a stone was far less than its effect on living beings.
Jiang Yun didn't refuse and nodded in agreement.
Pan Yue immediately perked up, his figure soaring to three zhang high, allowing Jiang Yun to sit on his shoulders, and strode towards the Sky Eternal Shackles Abyss.
As for Xu Ba, he couldn't enjoy this kind of treatment and could only follow beside, guarding the surroundings.
Naturally, Jiang Yun couldn't completely trust these two, and he still separated a wisp of divine sense to monitor the surroundings.
Then he closed his eyes and first urged the Primordial Ember Flame to burn away the wisp of aura left by the Great Ominous Sky Universe within his body.
Previously, he had kept this aura to lure the cultivators who were chasing him.
Now that he wanted to hide his tracks, he naturally couldn't keep it anymore.
After erasing the aura of the Sky Universe, Jiang Yun entered a state of fetal breathing.
With Jiang Yun's every breath, a large amount of power surged from all directions.
The benefits of Primordial Fetal Breathing combined with Boundless Transcendence were brought into full play on Jiang Yun's body.
Not to mention that Jiang Yun's strength began to recover rapidly, even Xu Ba and Pan Yue absorbed some of it.
After a moment, Xu Ba hesitated and said, "My lord, there are many cultivators following us, do you want to get rid of them?"
The great battle between Jiang Yun and Yan Huo had long alarmed many cultivators within the Eternal Tribulation Domain, but due to Yan Huo's identity and the power fluctuations during the battle between the two, no one dared to approach.
Now that Yan Huo had disappeared, leaving only Jiang Yun, there were naturally busybodies following behind, wanting to find out what kind of sacred being Jiang Yun was.
“No need!” Jiang Yun said indifferently, “As long as they don’t attack, let them follow.”
“Here, we should try to avoid causing trouble, otherwise, when we come again, there will be more trouble.”
Jiang Yun still had to come to the Eternal Tribulation Domain.
Apart from the fact that this was his only way to the Land of the End, it was also because there was still the aura of the Primordial Ember Flame here.
Even at this moment, that aura was still emitting a faint call to him.
If the Eternal Tribulation hadn't suddenly intervened, Jiang Yun would have originally planned to get rid of Yan Huo and then go to find the source of that Primordial Ember Flame aura.
But now, he could only postpone all plans.
Fortunately, those cultivators who were following didn't really come to disturb the three of them, so the journey was peaceful.
Just over an hour later, the three of them were already approaching the edge of the Eternal Tribulation Domain.
At this time, Pan Yue said, "My lord, I see many cultivators gathered outside the Eternal Tribulation Domain. They should be the helpers that Yan Huo notified earlier!"
Yan Huo had notified his helpers before entering the Eternal Tribulation Domain.
These cultivators indeed didn't dare to step into the Eternal Tribulation Domain, but they also didn't dare to ignore Yan Huo, so they were all gathered outside waiting.
Jiang Yun didn't even open his eyes and said, "As long as they don't actively attack us, we don't need to pay attention to them."
These cultivators didn't know that Jiang Yun was Yan Huo's enemy, and Jiang Yun no longer had the aura of the Sky Universe on him. The only ones who might be exposed were Xu Ba and Pan Yue.
However, Jiang Yun believed that in the absence of Yan Huo, these helping cultivators might not dare to attack the three of them, who were all in the Lord Realm.
“Alright!”
Pan Yue agreed and continued to walk forward without stopping.
But just then, Jiang Yun suddenly opened his eyes, raised his palm, and a Drought Bone Fire Nail shot directly towards the void in the left front!
Because, there, another wisp of Primordial Ember Flame aura came from!
