Chapter 366: You ‘re Too Weak
“Senior Brother Xu, how terrifying is the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl?” Fang Jin asked.
Xu Bai thought for a long time. “Among the disasters in the cultivation world, it’s almost second to none.”
“Can’t it be suppressed?” Fang Jin was puzzled.
He shook his head. “Based on what I know, it’s not possible. Even if we have the sect’s treasures with us, we won’t be able to withstand a major eruption for long. All our actions are to stall for time so that the sect can figure out a way.”
Fang Jin was terrified.
“Don’t worry. The worst is not here yet,” said Xu Bai.
“How did something like this come about?” Fang Jin was confused.
“There’s no information on this. Even if there is, I haven’t come across it in the sect.”
The two continued moving through the sky and headed toward the Heavenly Note Sect.
Heavenly Note Sect.
Devil’s Den.
Jiang Hao stood by the riverbank and glanced around before heading upstream.
He walked quickly.
When he arrived at a pool of water, he took out a ring and wiped it. Then he threw it into the water.
Boom!
The golden ring turned into a three-foot-long piece of metal.
[Strength +1]
‘There are bubbles here!’
Jiang Hao smiled.
He could feel that the person was getting closer to him. The reaction of the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl was becoming more intense.
‘Someone’s coming…’
Jiang Hao quickened his pace and continued ahead.
Three days later, he took out the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl to appraise it. The time limit had dropped to eighteen years.
‘I wonder how much longer this person can hold out before being crushed by misfortune?’
Jiang Hao wanted to deal with the person head-on but letting them get close would likely trigger the eruption of the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl.
As long as it doesn’t erupt, he could still seal it.
But once it erupted, everything would be doomed.
“Don’t run away. You’ve sensed me, and I’ve sensed you. You can’t escape.”
A sudden voice reached Jiang Hao’s ears.
He quickly moved away again. This time, he headed deeper into the area. Along the way, he buried another ring.
Another three days passed, and Jiang Hao realized that the distance between him and the other person was gradually decreasing.
At this point, the seal on the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl had sixteen years left. And this was with him sealing it continuously.
“It’s useless. The distance between us is the distance between you and misfortune. No matter how you escape, it won’t work.”
The voice carried disdain.
He attempted to flee again and found that it was indeed futile. No matter how fast he tried to flee, he couldn’t escape.
He couldn’t stop either. He had to stall for time.
The closer the person got to the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl, the more difficult it became for him to endure the curse that was affecting him.
At this moment, in the Lawless Tower, Mu Qiu laughed heartily.
“You can’t find him. He’s someone walking the path of misfortune. He proceeds step by step toward the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl. No one can stop him. We’ll all die together.”
Baizhi looked at him.
She turned and left. She left the tower and entered the shrine.
On the shrine was a mirror about the height of a person. It was surrounded by flame-like patterns and with the sun, moon, and stars on the back. It was the Heavenly Essence Soul Modeling Mirror.
“Is everything ready?” she asked.
“Everything is ready,” said a middle-aged man respectfully.
“Then let’s begin. Start with Mu Qiu as the source and use the mirror to find the location of that person,” Baizhi said.
At this point, nine figures appeared around the mirror. Each one was exceptionally powerful.
They held a mirror similar to the one in the middle in their hands.
The nine Heavenly Essence Soul Modeling Mirrors were activated by the nine individuals. Nine beams of light shone onto the Heavenly Essence Soul Modeling Mirror.
Baizhi rose into the air. She activated the power within the Lawless Tower and caused immense spiritual energy to surge into the sky. This energy landed on the Heavenly Essence Soul Modeling Mirror.
However, the mirror’s response was still slow.
“Activate the formation!” Baizhi shouted.
At this moment, the leaders of the other eleven branches arrived.
The sect’s grand formation was activated, and numerous spirit stones gathered within it. All the power converged within the array’s radiance.
Light shone upon the Heavenly Essence Soul Modeling Mirror.
This time, the Heavenly Essence Soul Modeling Mirror responded.
However, it still required quite some time to fully illuminate everything.
Within the Lawless Tower, Mu Qiu suddenly froze. He felt uneasy.
It was as if something had locked onto him and was probing his past and future. The sensation was terrifying.
Zhuang Yuzhen seemed to have sensed something. He frowned. “It’s a divine treasure.”
“Who knew the Heavenly Note Sect possessed so many great treasures?” Ming Lingyue was also astonished.
In the Devil’s Den, Jiang Hao had been fleeing for a day, but the person kept getting closer.
He suddenly stopped.
He heard footsteps behind him.
He turned to see a figure emerging from the depths of the forest.
The person exuded an ominous aura.
Jiang Hao saw the person’s appearance clearly.
He was a skinny young man, radiating a red light.
He appeared quite weak. He was affected by a curse.
Jiang Hao used Daily Appraisal on him as he got closer.
[Li Bai: Body of Misfortune. Early Stage of the God Ascension Realm. Corrupted by misfortune, his body is weak, and his mind is delirious. Mu Qiu noticed him since his birth and marked him. As a result, his happy life turned into misery, from hope to despair, from joy to pain, until the Body of Misfortune awakened. Mu Qiu led him into The End of All Things. He’s destined to trigger the eruption of the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl and bring about destruction.]
‘Mu Qiu?’
He truly used any means necessary.
Although Jiang Hao had sensed the person’s misfortune, there was no use for that anymore. Everything had become clear.
Moreover, the most important thing was that the person was at the early stage of the Soul Ascension Realm.
Jiang Hao thought of something. Despite the person being in the Soul Ascension Realm, he was weak, and his mind wasn’t stable.
Jiang Hao’s Primordial Spirit Realm was at its peak, and his Reappearance of Hidden Spirit was at its fullest strength. Perhaps the situation wasn’t hopeless yet.
“Don’t run. It’s pointless.” Li Bai looked at Jiang Hao. His eyes glowed red.
This red light carried misfortune within it.
Jiang Hao took out Half-Moon Blade and his aura spread. Following that, he swung his blade.
Boom!
Li Bai instinctively raised his hand to defend himself. In his hazy state of mind, he wanted to find Jiang Hao.
However, by that time, Jiang Hao had disappeared without a trace. He had escaped again.
But it was futile.
Jiang Hao arrived in the woods where he had buried a ring.
However, when he tried to flee, Li Bai appeared in front of him.
“Your misfortune is my path. With the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl on your body, no matter where you go, I can follow. You can’t escape.” Li Bai slowly approached him.
Jiang Hao lowered his head.
As the other person approached, he felt the activity of the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl.
He didn’t dare to get too close to Li Bai, but escape was also impossible.
Jiang Hao sighed and took out the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl. He gripped it tightly with one hand as purple energy covered the bead.
He also retrieved his Primordial Heavenly Blade.
“Aren’t you going to run?” Li Bai looked at Jiang Hao and sneered. “When I found you, everything was already determined. Your cultivation is too weak. Even if you had stronger cultivation, it would be useless.”
Sunlight illuminated them.
Jiang Hao moved, becoming one with the light.
In an instant, he vanished from his original position.
Li Bai turned to look behind him.
Boom!
The blade struck him from behind.
Jiang Hao frowned. He had done that just to test Li Bai, but Li Bai hadn’t even tried to dodge his attack.
‘What’s going on?’
He suddenly felt something was happening to Li Bai..
