408: Fragments in hand

Inside a cave of a tribe in the Lei Ze Realm, Di Tian, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly felt his heart rate accelerate.

He abruptly opened his eyes, walked to the mouth of the cave, and looked up at the sky.

The sky was clear and calm, with no abnormalities whatsoever.

Di Tian let out a long breath:

"I'm too nervous. This place is so far from the Kong Sang Realm; how could Gu Liangyuan possibly find me here?"

Shaking his head, he turned and walked deeper into the cave.

But as he turned his head, he saw a person he never wanted to see again in his life.

"Gu, Gu, Gu... Gu Liangyuan!"

How is this possible?

I've run all the way here, how could Gu Liangyuan still find me?

A flicker of doubt flashed through Di Tian's mind, and just as his mind was about to connect with his Storage Ring to retrieve a treasure, he suddenly felt his head heavy.

When he came to his senses, a sharp pain emanated from his Sea of Consciousness.

When he tried to retrieve something again, he found that the Storage Ring on his hand had already disappeared.

For Di Tian, all of this happened in an instant.

But for Gu Liangyuan, he first used the power of the Time Dao Fruit to freeze Di Tian, and then, through his powerful Divine Sense, forcibly erased Di Tian's Divine Sense imprint on the Storage Ring.

It was precisely because of Gu Liangyuan's forceful erasure that Di Tian suffered a Divine Sense backlash, causing him a splitting headache.

Di Tian quickly realized what he had experienced, and he looked at Gu Liangyuan with an extremely solemn expression:

"You've achieved Immortal Ascension!?"

It was no wonder Di Tian had doubts. If an enemy's Divine Sense was much stronger than one's own, it was possible to forcibly erase the Divine Sense imprint on a Storage Ring.

But that would also take time.

For someone like Gu Liangyuan to instantly erase the opponent's Divine Sense imprint, there was only one possibility.

That was, the opponent's cultivation had to far exceed his own.

Currently, Di Tian was in the Mahayana Realm, which was why Di Tian guessed that Gu Liangyuan had already achieved Immortal Ascension.

Gu Liangyuan did not reply, but instead let out a cold laugh:

"You've once again refined half of your Primordial Spirit into an Incarnation, Di Tian, you truly are capable of such ruthlessness!"

Di Tian still wanted to speak, but he saw Gu Liangyuan wave his hand. A gust of strong wind blew, and Di Tian instantly turned into dust, which was carried away by the wind, slowly disappearing between heaven and earth.

After Di Tian's death, the myriad celestial phenomena above Gu Liangyuan's head flickered in and out of existence. He stretched out his hand and quickly began to calculate.

As Gu Liangyuan calculated, a phantom of a compass appeared in his hand.

The central needle spun wildly for a moment, finally landing on the Chou position.

Gu Liangyuan took a step, heading straight for the Chou position.

In a large tribe fifty thousand miles away, Di Tian, who was clinking cups with the various Mahayana Realm high priests of the tribe, suddenly changed his expression.

He had sensed the death of his Incarnation, and thus witnessed Gu Liangyuan's methods.

How Gu Liangyuan found him was no longer important.

Di Tian felt that the most urgent matter was to find a way to survive.

Looking at the Mahayana Realm priests on the scene, Di Tian did not hesitate in the slightest. He leaped into the air, instantly transforming into a long rainbow, and disappeared between heaven and earth.

When Di Tian left the Eastern Continent, he was only at the Body Integration Realm, and Gu Liangyuan had only just reached the Mahayana Realm.

In between, Di Tian had a fortuitous encounter, which allowed him to enter the Mahayana Realm.

He thought that no matter how fast Gu Liangyuan cultivated, he would at most be just Undergoing Tribulation.

He joined this tribe, and these Mahayana Realm cultivators should at least be able to stop Gu Liangyuan for a moment.

But through the information transmitted by his Incarnation, he knew that he was wrong.

Terribly wrong!

Di Tian knew that any schemes or tricks he tried would be futile; the only thing he could rely on was the taiyi golden gong in his hand.

But he didn't want to use it lightly.

Because he knew that once the golden gong failed to kill Gu Liangyuan, he would only have one path left: death.

So he had to escape, the farther the better!

"Fortunately, I had a backup plan. This place isn't far from Lei Ze Lake; once I'm there, I'll be safe."

A surge of relief welled up in Di Tian's heart.

After thinking for a moment, he mobilized all the power he could use throughout his body.

His magic power, Qi and blood, and even his Lifespan, all burned frantically at this moment, heading straight for Lei Ze!

Just as Di Tian accelerated, Gu Liangyuan's figure appeared not far from Di Tian.

Looking at Di Tian, who had transformed into a long rainbow, Gu Liangyuan chuckled lightly:

"Naughty!"

Before his words faded, he took another step.

At this moment, Di Tian also sensed Gu Liangyuan behind him. In this life-or-death situation, his brain was operating at high speed:

"I understand Gu Liangyuan; his behavior when killing people isn't like this."

"Therefore, it's very likely that Gu Liangyuan came to this realm not specifically for me!"

"Then what is he here for? For the remnant bones of the Thunder God?"

"That shouldn't be the case. Gu Liangyuan is a person with extremely strong objectives."

"If it were for the Thunder God's remnant bones, then his first target would be Lei Ze. After completing that task, he would then conveniently kill me."

"But after Gu Liangyuan appeared, he directly extended his Divine Sense to search for me."

"Searching for me, his primary objective isn't to kill me..."

"Then it means I have something he needs!"

"Taking my life is just a secondary matter!"

Di Tian had guessed Gu Liangyuan's purpose.

"So, a new question arises: What do I have that is worth him crossing countless Minor Thousand Worlds to pursue?"

"The golden gong?"

"Not very likely. If he was just after the golden gong, then he should have started pursuing me long ago."

"Also, after the Heaven and Earth Tribulation, each realm became its own independent world. To Transmigration from one realm to another, one needs to cross endless Chaos."

"Within the Chaos, heavenly lightning, earthly fire, and strong winds are constant. Most importantly, there is no Spiritual Qi in the Chaos. To cast Divine Abilities and Spells, one can only rely on their own stored magic power."

"Moreover, the Chaos Qi will continuously wear down the Physical Body. Even an Immortal would not dare to easily enter the Chaos."

"Gu Liangyuan crossing so many Small Worlds to pursue me is clearly unrealistic."

"Could it be... Gu Liangyuan, like me, was also transported by some kind of spiritual item?"

Upon thinking this, a glimmer appeared in Di Tian's eyes.

Feeling Gu Liangyuan about to appear behind him, Di Tian flipped his hand and took out a fragment of a bronze mirror.

This bronze mirror fragment was something he obtained from the Taiyi Treasure Vault.

At the time, he found it pleasing to the eye, so he conveniently took it.

Even now, he still hadn't figured out the purpose of this fragment.

However, after he betrayed Taiyi, this fragment suddenly shone brightly and brought him to this realm.

To be precise, it brought him to this realm thirty years ago!

He had been in this realm for thirty years.

It was precisely because of these thirty years of accumulation, and a fortuitous encounter in Lei Ze in between, that he was able to Breakthrough to the Mahayana Realm!

From then on, he also sensed the extraordinary nature of this bronze mirror fragment.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he could no longer use the power of this bronze mirror fragment.

And because of this, he was trapped in this realm, unable to leave.

It was while he was searching for a way out that he learned of the existence of the endless Chaos.

He had originally planned to try again after Undergoing Tribulation, but he didn't expect Gu Liangyuan to arrive before he could even implement his plan.

Di Tian felt that it was very likely that Gu Liangyuan had also obtained a similar fragment and had figured out its purpose, which was why he came to pursue him.

Di Tian had already realized that this fragment was a Supreme treasure, but in order to survive, he decisively threw it in the opposite direction.

Indeed, the moment Di Tian threw the fragment, Gu Liangyuan, who should have been pursuing Di Tian, instantly changed direction and headed straight for the bronze mirror fragment.

Caw!

A sharp bird cry sounded. The moment Gu Liangyuan went to grab the bronze mirror fragment, Di Tian suddenly transformed into a Three-legged Golden Crow, its entire body burning with flames, and its speed increased slightly again.

By the time Gu Liangyuan arrived, holding the fragment, he saw the Three-legged Golden Crow dive headfirst into Lei Ze.
