286: Escape

After entering the spatial passage, Yang Lingchen felt a powerful suction force suddenly grab hold of him. Then, his body uncontrollably sped through the passage.

Feeling the dazzling, multicolored light all around him, Yang Lingchen felt like he had entered a time-space shuttle.

About fifteen minutes later, a white light appeared before his eyes. Yang Lingchen’s figure flashed, shaking off the powerful suction, and he flew toward the white light.

In less than a few breaths, Yang Lingchen saw the exit of the spatial passage. With a panicked expression, he quickly walked out.

"This is bad! an Ancient Vicious Beast has appeared in the Tianfeng World, and its cultivation is comparable to the Peak of the Ninth Level of the True God Realm," Yang Lingchen said, looking completely flustered.

"Old Hong, is this true?"

A strong middle-aged man, whose cultivation was at the Ninth Level of the True God Realm, walked over. Surrounding him were more than ten experts at the Fifth or Sixth Level of the True God Realm.

"Of course it's true. That Ancient Vicious Beast is right behind me, everyone be careful." Yang Lingchen quickly moved aside and vigilantly watched the entrance of the spatial passage.

"Everyone, prepare for battle!"

The strong middle-aged man shouted loudly, then quickly moved to the entrance of the spatial passage to defend.

Yang Lingchen glanced around. Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on the spatial passage entrance, he instantly flung one hundred thousand Explosive Pills toward the spatial passage.

"Rumble...! Rumble...!"

The moment Yang Lingchen threw the Explosive Pills, his figure turned into an afterimage and he quickly sped away into the distance.

Yang Lingchen knew he couldn't be a match for these people; after all, he was only at the Half-step True God Realm, while the opponents were a group of True Gods.

This spatial passage leading to the Lower Realm was inherently unstable. With these one hundred thousand Explosive Pills, it would be enough to completely destroy the entire spatial passage.

"Ah...! Ah...! Ah...! Ah...! Ah...! Ah...!"

The strong middle-aged man roared furiously, saying, "He is not Old Hong! Chase him! This Sovereign will extract his soul and refine his spirit."

True Gods were extremely fast. Even though Yang Lingchen possessed a Divine Realm top-tier Speed Movement Technique, he still couldn't completely shake off the pursuers behind him.

Especially that middle-aged man; he was an expert at the Peak of the Ninth Level of the True God Realm, far surpassing everyone else in terms of speed.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye. The middle-aged man behind him was slowly closing the distance. At this point, the distance between them was less than five hundred meters.

"You are dead! Dare to destroy my Ximen Family's spatial passage? No one in this Black Cloud Realm can save you."

This middle-aged man was none other than Ximen Bao, a direct descendant of the Ximen Family.

As soon as his voice fell, the battle sword in his hand instantly shot toward Yang Lingchen.

Feeling the battle sword shooting toward him from behind, a look of madness flashed in Yang Lingchen's eyes, and he immediately used the Blood Escape Technique.

At that moment, his body transformed directly into a bloody shadow and instantly vanished into the horizon.

"Art of Blood Escape!"

Shock appeared in Ximen Bao's eyes. He hadn't expected this person from the Lower Realm to know such an Advanced Blood Escape Technique.

One must know that the Art of Blood Escape is divided into many types, but he had never heard of one as fast as Yang Lingchen's.

Yang Lingchen's speed reached its limit, and the blood qi within his body was burning frantically.

Even so, Yang Lingchen dared not stop for a moment. He struggled to hold on until the blood qi in his body was almost completely depleted before he finally stopped.

Inside a mysterious dense forest, Yang Lingchen's face was pale, and he was on the verge of fainting, but he was still desperately holding on.

This was not the Lower Realm. Entering the haotian jade space here carried extreme risks. Once cultivation reached above the True God Realm, secret treasure spaces could easily be detected. If he entered the haotian jade space, the Vast Heaven Jade itself might be discovered by others.

Yang Lingchen took out several Medicinal Pills that supplemented blood qi and consumed them, but for his depleted body, it was like trying to put out a blazing carriage fire with a cup of water—it had no significant effect.

"Boom... Boom... Boom... Boom... Boom...!"

Just then, an earth-shattering sound of impact came from deep within the dense forest.

He saw a handsome, refined young man battling a Earth Flame Demon Dragon. The fight between the two sides was extremely intense.

Yang Lingchen could tell that the young man's strength had reached at least the Fifth Level of the Illusory God Realm, while the Earth Flame Demon Dragon's strength had reached the Sixth Level of the Illusory God Realm.

"Why does this guy look so familiar?"

Looking at the remarkably handsome young man, Yang Lingchen searched his memories.

"Holy crap, why does this guy look so much like me?"

Yang Lingchen quickly took a Bronze Mirror out of the haotian jade space and carefully examined himself.

"Could this guy be Father's illegitimate child from outside?" Yang Lingchen muttered to himself.

Thinking of this, Yang Lingchen quickly sent a voice transmission to Yang Daolin in the haotian jade space.

"You bastard kid! I only have one son, where would an illegitimate child come from?" Yang Daolin roared fiercely at Yang Lingchen.

"If he's not, he's not. Why are you yelling?"

Yang Lingchen was also very curious that there could be two people in this world who looked so similar, with the resemblance reaching almost ninety-nine percent.

At this moment, the battle had entered a white-hot stage. The young man was already severely wounded, and the Earth Flame Demon Dragon was not much better off.

Hundreds of moves passed in the blink of an eye.

At this point, the young man had reached the limit of his endurance. He used all his remaining strength and fiercely slashed a sword strike toward the Earth Flame Demon Dragon.

The Earth Flame Demon Dragon also descended into madness. Its eyes were filled with intense killing intent. It neither dodged nor avoided, striking a palm toward the young man.

"Swish...!"

The young man's terrifying sword strike directly severed the Earth Flame Demon Dragon's massive head.

"Bang...!"

However, the Earth Flame Demon Dragon's palm strike did not stop, heavily slamming into the young man's chest.

"Puff... Puff... Puff... Puff...!"

The young man violently spat out blood. His breastbone was instantly shattered by the impact, and he flew toward Yang Lingchen like a cannonball.

"Thud...!"

The young man crashed heavily beside Yang Lingchen. His pupils were dilated, and blood continuously flowed from his mouth.

"Hey...! Are you alright!"

Yang Lingchen quickly walked over, immediately gave the young man a healing pill to consume, and then continuously channeled Divine Origin Power into his body.

However, Yang Lingchen's attempts at rescue were completely ineffective, as the opponent's internal organs were shattered, and he was beyond saving.

"W-who are you? Why are you pretending to be me?" the young man asked weakly.

"Who's pretending to be you? This guy just looks like this," Yang Lingchen retorted irritably.

"I never thought there would be two people in this world who look so similar."

The young man realized this; he knew Yang Lingchen hadn't disguised his appearance.

"I'm curious too."

Yang Lingchen continued, "If you have anything you want to say, say it quickly! If it's something I can help with, I will try my best."

"Can you live on in my place?" the young man looked at Yang Lingchen expectantly.

"Live on in your place?" Yang Lingchen asked, confused.

"Yes," the young man said with difficulty.

"Alright, I agree," Yang Lingchen said after a moment of contemplation.

"Th-thank you! Come closer, I will transmit my memory to you," the young man said with difficulty.

"Okay!" Yang Lingchen leaned in closer.

At that moment, the young man condensed the Sea of Consciousness Memory into a beam of white light, which then shot into Yang Lingchen's Sea of Consciousness.

"Please protect my Revered Master, and protect the Hantian Sect. Tha—"

Before the young man could finish his sentence, he completely lost his breath.
