457: Demon Yuan Sect Leader

"What's going on?"

Abyss Lord was about to catch Night Lord when the latter suddenly vanished.

Without a doubt, this was a fake; he was unlucky not to have caught the real one.

Given the current situation, this likely also meant he had no chance with the demonic artifact.

"Damn it!"

..."Positive Separation..."

Fairy Xian Qing's face was as cold as ice as she watched the scattered specks of light disappear before her eyes.

To prevent Night Lord from using the same trick again, she collected these specks of light.

Only after they completely extinguished did she accept the reality... "How cunning!"

Phantom Lord, on his side, also grabbed Night Lord's ball of light.

However, he could only watch as the ball of light dissipated in his hands.

Evidently, Night Lord had acted flawlessly, and he too had been tricked.

Having failed to secure it this time, it would be almost impossible in the future.

Despite his reluctance, Phantom Lord transformed into a ball of light and left the area...

When Positive Separation struck at the orb of light, Night Lord revealed his true form and engaged him in battle.

Unfortunately, after two dissociations, especially the first one being forced, he was no match for Positive Separation.

With less than one-tenth of his power remaining, he was only useful against beings below the Immortal Law Realm.

Facing someone like Positive Separation, especially when Night Lord at his peak might not have been Positive Separation's opponent, he was instantly defeated.

Thus, Night Lord only exchanged a few blows with Positive Separation before being easily subdued, completely without any power to retaliate.

This time, Positive Separation gave Night Lord no further chances; after extracting the demonic artifact, he directly struck and annihilated him.

This included all the dissipated specks of light, not a single one was spared.

The matter was too significant; he couldn't let anyone know that he had obtained the demonic artifact, so Positive Separation had to be extremely cautious about all possible risks.

He first meticulously searched the entire star system for any living planets, then took action to obscure all traces of his presence there.

Even the light scattered during the battle was gathered back by him.

The speed of light is fast, but the speed of an Immortal Law Realm cultivator is measured in light-years.

After completing all this, Positive Separation suddenly felt that the newly acquired demonic artifact seemed to be acting strangely, so he intended to take it out and examine it.

But just as he took it out, before he could examine it closely, an unexpected change occurred!

Numerous dark patterns emerged from the demonic artifact, spreading onto Positive Separation's arm at an astonishing speed.

Judging by its appearance, it was clear it wasn't anything good.

As an experienced Immortal Law Realm cultivator, Positive Separation's reaction was equally swift and decisive, he unhesitatingly severed the portion of his arm that was being encroached upon.

Because he discovered it in time and took decisive action, he ultimately only had to cut off an area about half the size of his palm.

As for the demonic artifact, it was cut off and flew out along with that half-palm.

But Positive Separation didn't even spare a glance at the demonic artifact he had painstakingly fought for.

Instead, he became extremely vigilant, adopting a defensive stance, and shouted sternly into his surroundings, "Who is ambushing me here?"

No one responded.

"No matter who you are, today I will fight you to the death here!"

Positive Separation's eyes were wide with fury, looking utterly prepared to die.

But while he spoke with such words and adopted such an attitude, his body was utterly honest.

Along with his fierce words, Positive Separation's body also moved.

By the time Positive Separation uttered the last word 'fight', he himself had already reached a location three light-years away from his original position.

As for the demonic artifact, he left it behind.

The demonic artifact clearly had a mind of its own, and it was extremely powerful, capable of eroding even his immortal body so quickly.

The person capable of achieving this must be far more powerful than Positive Separation.

At this moment, with the enemy in the dark and him in the open, holding the demonic artifact, which was a living target with a mind of its own, was simply courting death.

No matter how important a treasure was, it was far less important than one's own life; this was a truth every Immortal Law Realm cultivator understood.

Therefore, when it came to making a choice, Positive Separation didn't hesitate for a moment.

On the contrary, after escaping the focal point, he might still have a chance to contend for it again.

After all, as he fled, he also left behind some measures at his original location.

However, just as Positive Separation was fleeing, a black streak flashed past him.

But he had been prepared, constantly paying attention to the movements nearby.

So at this moment, which was his most tense, this black streak was naturally detected by him.

"Great Refining Sun Palm!"

A palm print struck out, and a terrifying aura capable of burning the heavens and boiling the seas rose up.

Even the temperature of the entire star system increased by several hundred degrees because of it.

The sheer power of an Immortal being was overwhelmingly destructive to any star system.

Colliding with the black streak, the colossal fiery palm print was split in two, and the black streak also vanished.

Positive Separation saw the attack coming at him being blocked, but his expression, instead, turned grim.

The opponent's move was both good and bad; good because the opponent was no longer hiding in the dark, so he no longer had to be so vigilantly anxious.

Bad because of this point: he didn't need to know how much power the opponent exerted, but Positive Separation's previous Great Palm Print was already his full power.

According to earlier estimations, the opponent's strength was likely above his.

By common sense, they shouldn't obstruct his departure, as Positive Separation didn't know their identity anyway.

But the opponent still attacked, clearly intending to kill him!

"Hehehe!"

At the same time, an incomparably sinister sneer echoed through the field.

Positive Separation let out a sigh of relief, "Speak, what do you want, esteemed sir?"

"Hehehe, you scum, how dare you covet the things of my Moyuan Sect!"

"If this Sect Master doesn't make you leave something behind, wouldn't others think my Moyuan Sect is weak and easily bullied?"

As the words fell, a masked figure clad in a black robe, emitting black smoke, appeared in the field.

Upon hearing the words "Moyuan Sect," Positive Separation's face drastically changed; he had never expected to encounter a powerhouse from the Moyuan Sect.

Who in the entire Xichen Domain didn't know that the Moyuan Sect was the strongest demonic sect in the whole domain, and only the Zhengyuan Sect could faintly suppress it in the Xichen Domain.

Both sects' names contained the character 'Yuan,' and it was said that the enmity between the two sects began tens of millions of years ago and had been intertwined ever since.

Legend has it that the Sect Master of the Moyuan Sect was an expert comparable to Yuan Chen, the Sect Master of the Zhengyuan Sect.

Yet, facing the Sect Master of the Moyuan Sect, he wasn't as unyielding as he was when facing Yuan Chen, the Sect Master of the Zhengyuan Sect.

There were two reasons.

Firstly, they previously had four Immortals, a large number, so if Yuan Chen really wanted to do something, he wouldn't gain much advantage.

Secondly, Yuan Chen was from the righteous path and would not likely fight fiercely over a demonic artifact.

But the Sect Master of the Moyuan Sect, as the leader of the demonic path, clearly had no such reservations, and now it was just Positive Separation alone.

So the moment he saw the Moyuan Sect Master, Positive Separation fled without a second thought, he just fled...
