Chapter 636
An Opportunity to Escape!
The Qilin had a single horn on its head, with ancient patterns flowing across it. Its eyes gleamed with a sharp light, filled with scrutiny and hostility, as it locked onto Jiang Wang's location.
Jiang Wang's heart sank. He could clearly sense the aura emanating from these six Qilin—the fifth level of the Strength Saint realm! Such cultivation would make them a giant even in the Primordial World, yet six of them appeared at the same time, clearly indicating that it was premeditated.
What alarmed him even more was that one of the azure Qilin raised its front paw, with a layer of light gray powder swirling around its palm. With a gentle flick, the powder seemed to come alive and drifted toward the pale golden aura surrounding Jiang Wang.
"Developer powder!"
Jiang Wang was secretly alarmed.
He had heard that there was a peculiar mineral in the chaos called the revealing stone, whose powder could break through all the concealment techniques in the world. No matter how skillful the invisibility method was, it would be nowhere to hide in front of the revealing stone powder.
Sure enough, the pale gray powder fell onto the pale golden halo, like water droplets seeping into a sponge, instantly penetrating it.
The almost transparent halo quickly dimmed, and Jiang Wang's figure gradually became visible, no longer able to be hidden.
"You wretched creature, surrender now!" A red Qilin spoke, its voice booming like a great bell, causing the surrounding chaotic air currents to ripple slightly.
Its gaze was filled with undisguised killing intent as it stared intently at Jiang Wang, as if it were his mortal enemy.
Jiang Wang frowned, his mind filled with doubt.
He had never set foot in this world before, nor had he ever made a grudge against the Qilin clan. Why would these six Qilins ambush him here, and why would they happen to have revealing powder specifically designed to counter his "Standing Shadowless Form"?
He quickly pondered the key point, and two possibilities flashed through his mind—a primordial spy, or "the supreme being of the primordial world."
"Solely Reigning Over the Primordial World"
It is a secret organization in the primordial world, which acts in an extreme way, advocating the supremacy of the primordial world, conquering the four worlds, and enslaving other races.
Could it be that this organization's influence has extended into this unknown world, and they have already spread unfavorable information about him? Or perhaps, there are spies lurking in this world from the primordial era, leaking his whereabouts and attracting the Qilin clan's encirclement? Various speculations intertwined in his mind, making it difficult for him to sort out his thoughts.
Just as Jiang Wang's thoughts were churning, the six-headed Qilin moved.
They all opened their mouths and spewed out six-colored rays of light, which intertwined and swirled in the air, quickly forming a huge array.
Above the formation, six enormous pillars of light rose from the ground, covered with intricate runes, exuding an aura that suppressed heaven and earth; this was the "Six Extremes Imprisonment Formation."
Under the array's cover, Jiang Wang felt the surrounding space suddenly solidify, and the flow of his primordial energy within his body became sluggish, as if bound by invisible shackles, making every movement extremely difficult.
The six-headed Qilin wore a smug expression, clearly believing that with this formation, Jiang Wang would have no chance of escaping.
But at that moment, a deafening roar suddenly came from behind, the sound of the spatial passage completely collapsing.
A massive energy shockwave spread out, causing the chaotic realm to tremble slightly even from a great distance.
The six-headed Qilin subconsciously turned around and looked back, a hint of surprise and wariness flashing in its eyes.
They clearly hadn't expected the spatial passage to collapse so completely; this sudden turn of events momentarily distracted them.
It was this momentary distraction that gave Jiang Wang the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
A glint of light flashed in his eyes, revealing a hidden "soaring" potential within him.
His talent suddenly exploded.
This "soaring"
The talent is not just the ability to fly, but a supernatural power that transcends the laws of space, allowing one to ignore all spatial constraints and freely traverse between heaven and earth.
Jiang Wang's pale golden aura shone brightly once more. This time, the aura was no longer for concealment, but transformed into a pair of enormous wings of light, covered with intricate patterns, like a microcosm of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
With a gentle flap of his wings, Jiang Wang's figure transformed into an elusive streak of light, directly piercing through the constraints of the "Six Extremes Imprisonment Array".
The pillars of light above the formation trembled violently, and the runes flickered erratically, but they could not stop his steps at all.
The six-headed Qilin sensed something amiss and turned around abruptly, only to see Jiang Wang's figure flash by in the distance, rushing towards the edge of the Chaos Domain.
They roared in anger, wanting to give chase, but found that Jiang Wang's speed far exceeded their expectations. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from their sight, leaving only a faint trace of light.
Jiang Wang sped along without daring to stop for even a moment.
He could sense that although the aura of the six-headed Qilin had faded away, an even larger and more majestic will clung to him like a leech.
That was not the aura of any particular being, but rather the will of the Great Dao of this world, cold and indifferent, as if scrutinizing an intruder.
Being locked onto by the will of the Great Dao meant that no matter where he fled, it would be difficult to completely shake off the pursuit, which made his heart grow heavier.
He ran towards the edge of the auspicious realm, once again appreciating the magnificence of this world along the way.
Those enormous bubble worlds became increasingly sparse, and the chaotic energy gradually thinned out, replaced by a purer form of void energy.
Just as he was about to reach the edge of the Auspicious Realm and was preparing to find a secluded place to hide temporarily, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his way.
It was a unique Qilin, more majestic than the previous six Qilin, standing ten thousand feet tall, with a deep, mysterious blue coat, as mysterious as the night sky, and faint spatial ripples surrounding its body, as if it had merged with the surrounding void.
Its single horn was even longer, with a shimmering blue light at the tip. Its eyes showed no emotion, only endless coldness and majesty.
Jiang Wang's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly judged the cultivation level of this Qilin to be that of a Saint at the seventh level! Moreover, it controlled the laws of space!
"You have repeatedly trespassed into my Auspicious Realm and even attempted to escape. Do you think there is no one in my Auspicious Realm?"
The azure-blue Qilin spoke, its voice calm and even, yet carrying an undeniable pressure, like a direct declaration of the laws of space.
Its gaze fell upon Jiang Wang as if it were a physical object, filled with scrutiny and inquiry.
Jiang Wang stopped in his tracks, his internal primordial energy circulating silently, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.
He looked at the dark blue Qilin in front of him and said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency misunderstands. I did not mean to trespass. I came here by accident from a spatial passage. I did not know that this place is the Auspicious Realm. Please allow me to pass."
The azure-blue Qilin nodded slightly, a strange glint in its eyes: "A spatial passage? No wonder."
However, your aura does bear some resemblance to that of the 'Unrivaled Supreme'.
"Unrivaled and invincible?"
Jiang Wang's heart skipped a beat. This was the first time he had heard this name. It seemed that the other party had mistaken him for someone else.
He was about to explain when he saw a glint of light flash in the dark blue Qilin's eyes, as if it had seen through his secret.
"No, you are not invincible."
The azure-blue Qilin's voice remained calm, "You come from the primordial world, don't you?"
Jiang Wang was startled. The other party could see through his origin at a glance. The strength of this spatial law Qilin was indeed unfathomable. He did not deny it, but simply nodded and said, "That's right, I do come from the Primordial World."
However, I have absolutely nothing to do with your claim of being invincible and supreme. My intrusion was purely accidental, and I hope you will understand the truth.
"Coming from the primordial era is enough."
The azure-blue Qilin said calmly, a flash of killing intent in its eyes, "Whether you are the supreme and invincible, as a person of the primordial world, trespassing into the Auspicious Realm will only lead to your death."
Before it finished speaking, it raised its front paw and gently pressed it down on Jiang Wang.
In an instant, Jiang Wang felt the space around him completely freeze, as if he were encased in ancient ice, unable to move.
The primordial energy within his body was like a frozen river, completely stagnant, and even his thoughts slowed down.
This is the ultimate application of the laws of space—spatial confinement! The power of the laws of space of a seventh-level saint is far more terrifying than he imagined; with just one move, he was completely trapped.
Jiang Wang was anxious, but forced himself to calm down.
A direct confrontation was clearly no match for him; his opponent's cultivation was far superior, and the spatial confinement made it difficult for him to move.
The only option is to buy time and find a way to escape.
His gaze fell on the dark blue Qilin, and he slowly said, "Your Excellency is a powerful figure in the Auspicious Realm, with extraordinary bearing and a gentlemanly demeanor."
There is something I don't understand, and I hope you can enlighten me.
Who exactly is this "unrivaled and invincible" person you speak of? Why would you confuse this junior with him?
Upon hearing this, the azure-blue Qilin paused slightly, seemingly surprised that Jiang Wang could remain so calm and even praise himself in such a desperate situation.
A barely perceptible look of surprise flashed in its eyes. After a moment of contemplation, it said, "Fine, it's better to let you die knowing why."
It slowly opened its mouth, and its voice spread throughout the surrounding void: "The Chaos Realm is not the only one. Countless Chaos Realms intertwine to form the Primordial Realm."
We are in the Four Symbols Primordial Realm, and the Auspicious Realm is a pure land within the Four Symbols Primordial Realm.
That undefeated supreme being comes from the Supreme Family.
Speaking of the Duzun family, a hint of disgust and killing intent flashed in the eyes of the dark blue Qilin: "This Duzun family is a notorious existence in the Four Symbols Primordial Realm."
They act tyrannically and ruthlessly, taking pleasure in enslaving the world. They wage war everywhere, capturing creatures from other worlds and turning them into their servants through special means.
Over the years, they have conquered dozens of worlds within the Four Symbols Primordial Realm; now, their gaze has turned to my Auspicious Realm.
"Du Zun Wu Bai is a core member of the Du Zun family. His cultivation is unfathomable, and he acts recklessly. He likes to go it alone and provoke others everywhere."
His aura is somewhat similar to yours, and he is also skilled in concealment, which is why I mistook you at first.
The azure-blue Qilin slowly said, "However, you come from the Primordial World. Although you have nothing to do with the Supreme Invincible, the people of the Primordial World have never had much of a relationship with my Auspicious Realm. Since you have come today, you may stay."
As Jiang Wang listened, he secretly kept an eye on the spatial confinement around him.
He could sense that, as time passed, the developing stone powder on his body was gradually losing its effectiveness, and the pale golden halo was beginning to become clearer again. Although the spatial confinement remained powerful, his "Upright Shadowless" state was no longer affected by the loss of the developing stone powder.
His condition would then be able to function again, which would be his chance to escape.
He continued to stall for time, feigning curiosity as he asked, "I see."
I never imagined that there would be such a domineering family in the Four Symbols Primordial Realm.
May I ask your esteemed name? If I am fortunate enough to escape unscathed, I will remember your guidance in the future.
The azure-blue Qilin said calmly, "My name is Tu Gang."
It seemed unconcerned about Jiang Wang's delay. In its view, Jiang Wang, trapped by the spatial confinement, was like a turtle in a jar, unable to escape.
Just then, Jiang Wang keenly noticed that the pale golden aura around his body had returned to normal, and the effect of the developing stone powder had completely disappeared.
He was overjoyed, knowing that the time had come.
He looked at Tu Gang and smiled slightly: "Thank you for clearing up my doubts, Mr. Tu Gang."
However, retaining the younger generation won't be so easy.
Before he could finish speaking, the Primordial Chaos Power within Jiang Wang's body suddenly erupted! Hundreds of billions of Primordial Chaos Power, like a dormant volcano, instantly awakened, surging and roaring within his body with earth-shattering power.
He poured all his primordial energy into his body and charged fiercely at the spatial confinement.
With a deafening roar, the spatial confinement shattered like broken glass, instantly becoming riddled with cracks.
Tu Gang's expression changed, clearly not expecting Jiang Wang to be able to unleash such powerful strength. He wanted to reinforce the spatial confinement again, but it was too late.
"Crack!"
The spatial confinement shattered completely, and Jiang Wang's figure transformed into a pale golden stream of light, instantly merging into the void.
"Standing upright casts no shadow"
He was operating at full power, and his aura completely disappeared, as if he had never existed.
Tu Gang roared, unleashing the power of spatial laws around him in an attempt to pinpoint Jiang Wang's location, only to find the surrounding void completely still, leaving no trace whatsoever.
His sharp gaze swept across the surroundings, but he could only see the empty void and the sparse bubble world in the distance. Jiang Wang's figure had completely disappeared at the edge of the auspicious realm.
Tu Gang snorted coldly, his eyes filled with resentment and killing intent, but he could only give up.
Jiang Wang, on the other hand, had completely shaken off his pursuers and was hiding in a void rift at the edge of the Auspicious Realm.
He breathed a slight sigh of relief, feeling the surging primordial energy within his body, and secretly rejoiced.
This journey to the Auspicious Realm was fraught with danger. First, he was surrounded by six Qilins at the fifth level of the Strength Saint realm, and then he was intercepted by Tu Gang, a Qilin at the seventh level of the Saint realm who wielded the Space Law. If he hadn't reacted quickly and escaped by taking advantage of the collapse of the passage, and hadn't stalled for time with words, he would probably have lost his life by now that the developing stone powder had worn off.
He looked up into the depths of the auspicious realm, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.
The wind in the auspicious realm was warm, carrying an almost viscous moisture. When it brushed against Jiang Wang's robes, it felt almost tangible, as if the spiritual energy of this world had condensed into fine down.
He was enveloped in a nearly transparent halo, a state of "standing upright without casting a shadow."
The outward manifestation of this state was not intentional, but rather a natural expression resulting from the fusion of this special state with the rich spiritual energy of the auspicious realm. (End of Chapter)
