Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

A thousand feet high in the sky, two blood-colored escape lights passed by one after another at an extremely astonishing speed, escaping to the distant horizon.

The blood-colored escape light in front of it smashed through all the clouds and strong winds along the way with a savage attitude, like a meteor that could not stop, and only destruction was its only fate.

The blood-colored escape light behind was much more agile, swimming in the air like a fish, nimbly bypassing all obstacles, chasing closely, and the distance with the blood-colored escape light in front was shortened little by little.

Chen Yuan stood on the Duyun Boat with a very solemn expression, and he didn't even bother to look back to check on Liu Fan's situation.

According to the secret technique he got from the memory of Master Qingyou, he combined the blood escape technique with the flying spirit weapon, and his escape speed increased dramatically, comparable to that of a mid-stage Jindan cultivator, but his spiritual consciousness was only at the level of a foundation-building cultivator, and it was difficult to control the Duyun Boat at a very fast speed.

He could only let the Duyun Boat fly forward, and it was difficult to change direction, or even stop.

In addition, the speed of consumption of Chen Yuan's true essence increased dramatically. In less than a quarter of an hour, 70% of it was consumed.

But in order to maintain his speed, he could only continue to inject true essence into the Duyun Boat.

Soon, less than 20% of the true essence in Chen Yuan's body remained.

He gritted his teeth, took out two pieces of fire-attributed top-grade spirit stones, held one in each hand, and absorbed the spiritual power in the spirit stones in an extremely rough way.

The rich spiritual energy instantly poured into Chen Yuan's meridians, like the water of a big river, entering the newly opened canal, surging and stirring, causing a great impact on the meridians.

Chen Yuan showed a painful look on his face. The spiritual energy contained in the top-grade spirit stones was too rich. It was used by Jindan cultivators for daily practice.

The foundation-building cultivator directly absorbed the spiritual energy from it, just like a five-year-old child overeating, and the meridians were almost burst by the spiritual energy.

Fortunately, Chen Yuan practiced both the Dharma and the body, his body was strong, and his meridians were tough, so he could barely withstand the impact of this huge spiritual energy.

But even so, his meridians also had tiny spider-web-like cracks, and were on the verge of collapse.

But at this critical moment of life and death, Chen Yuan did not care about the damage to his meridians, and immediately followed the route of "Nine Transformations of the True Spirit" to quickly transform the spiritual energy into true essence, and the true essence lake in the dantian that was quickly depleted became full again.

Liu Fan was only a thousand feet away from Chen Yuan, and could sense his every move through his spiritual consciousness.

Seeing that Chen Yuan dared to directly draw spiritual energy from the top-grade spirit stone, he sneered and sent a message to Chen Yuan: "Wei Wuding, what you are doing is just drinking poison to quench thirst, why bother to struggle?"

"As long as you surrender, hand over the magic weapon and mustard ring, and let me plant the soul restriction, I can spare your life and help you to form the elixir, how about it?"

Liu Fan's tone was earnest, as if he was full of sincerity, but Chen Yuan ignored it after hearing it, his expression did not change at all, enduring the severe pain of the meridians being torn, concentrating on converting the spiritual energy into true essence,

Liu Fan saw that Chen Yuan had no reaction, and he didn't care, and continued to follow him, shortening the distance between the two little by little.

He would naturally not let Chen Yuan go, and these words were just to disintegrate Chen Yuan's fighting spirit and slightly reduce his own blood and blood consumption.

It doesn't matter if Chen Yuan doesn't appreciate it. A foundation-building cultivator who forcibly draws spiritual energy from the top-grade spirit stone is just courting death. In a short while, his meridians will be broken.

Liu Fan just needs to consume a little more blood and will catch up with Chen Yuan sooner or later.

But the two chased and fled, and another quarter of an hour passed, and Liu Fan's face finally changed.

He looked at Chen Yuan in front of him, his eyes were full of doubts, and his brows were furrowed: "Why can he still hold on? Is the body of a physical cultivator really so strong?"

Just a few breaths ago, the spiritual energy in the two top-grade spiritual stones in Chen Yuan's hand was exhausted and turned into powder.

He stroked the storage bag and took out two new top-grade spiritual stones to continue absorbing the spiritual energy from them.

The severe pain in the meridians that had stopped for a few breaths came back. Chen Yuan endured the pain of thousands of ants biting his body, gritted his teeth and transformed the huge spiritual energy that poured into his body.

This was his only way to replenish his true essence. He didn't have the foundation-building elixir to restore his true essence, and the spiritual energy in the middle-grade spiritual stone was a drop in the bucket, and he couldn't replenish the consumed true essence in time.

With the blessing of the blood escape technique, the speed of the Duyun Boat was too fast, and only a Jindan cultivator could control it.

Suddenly, the blood-colored light that wrapped around the Duyunzhou became much thinner, and the speed of escape slowly decreased.

Chen Yuan's eyes became fierce, and he slapped his chest with his right hand holding the spirit stone, and spurted out a large mouthful of blood essence, muttering something.

After three breaths, this ball of blood essence turned into a ball of blood mist, blending into the escape light that gradually turned back to green, and the speed of the Duyunzhou escape increased sharply, even faster than before.

This ball of blood essence was 30% of all the blood essence in Chen Yuan's body, and the blood essence he spurted out for the first time was only 20%.

After 50% of the blood essence left his body, Chen Yuan's face became extremely pale, his black hair became dry and rough, and his flesh and blood withered like autumn flowers. His shiny skin was also like cracked bark, old and withered, sticking to the bones.

Liu Fan saw that Chen Yuan did not hesitate to spend such a painful price and continuously performed the blood escape technique, and a trace of haze flashed across his face.

He sent a message to Chen Yuan: "Wei Wuding, do you really want to die?"

"Qi is now the world of the two holy sects. Even if you use up all your blood and energy, you can't escape Qi. If you surrender, you can still save your life!"

Chen Yuan still ignored Liu Fan's message, but looked ahead with a stern expression, silently absorbing the spiritual energy from the top-grade spirit stone.

Liu Fan's heart was filled with anger. He stopped trying to persuade Chen Yuan to surrender. A hint of hesitation flashed across his eyes. He still followed Chen Yuan from a distance, but his hatred for him became more and more serious.

After catching Chen Yuan, he would make him suffer the pain of being cut into pieces and having his soul extracted and refined!

Liu Fan was not worried that Chen Yuan would escape. There was a gap between Jindan cultivators and foundation-building cultivators. He only consumed 20% of his blood and essence to kill Chen Yuan.

But at this time, the Qi Kingdom's cultivation world was extremely chaotic. The six sects' cultivators had not yet completely evacuated, and there were demon cultivators robbing and looting. The two of them were chasing and fleeing, and the momentum was very high. They might encounter other Jindan cultivators, which would cause unexpected changes.

However, Liu Fan had already performed the blood escape technique once, consuming 20% ​​of his blood and essence. If he consumed more blood and essence, it would have a significant impact on his cultivation.

After hesitation, he chose to continue to follow Chen Yuan. When his blood and essence were exhausted, he would naturally be able to capture him.

Then the two of them chased and fled, and soon nearly a quarter of an hour passed.

Chen Yuan had already escaped more than 600 miles, and was less than 400 miles away from the barren mountain where the ancient teleportation array was located.

He quickly looked back and saw that Liu Fan was more than 900 feet away from him and could not catch up for a while.

Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he maintained this speed, he could escape from Qi through the ancient teleportation array before Liu Fan caught up.

At this time, the top-grade spirit stones in his hands turned into powder and drifted away with the wind.

Without thinking, he immediately stroked the storage bag, took out two new top-grade spirit stones, held them tightly, endured the severe pain to absorb the spiritual energy, transformed it into strands of pure true essence, and then injected it into the Duyun Boat frantically.

The blood-colored light outside the Duyun Boat was quite strong. The blood escape technique transformed from 30% of the essence and blood could last longer and would not lose its effect now.

Suddenly, a subtle click mixed with the whistling sound of the fierce gale came into Chen Yuan's ears.

This sound was so weak, but to Chen Yuan, it was like thunder in the sky.

His face changed, and he looked down. There was a barely perceptible crack on the Duyun Boat under his feet.

Chen Yuan stared at the crack, took a deep breath, raised his head again, looked forward, and tightened his hands holding the top-grade spirit stone. He ignored the pain of the meridians being torn and forcibly absorbed more spiritual energy.

The Duyun Boat was just a top-grade spiritual weapon. The spiritual materials used were relatively mediocre, and the boat body was limited in strength. It was about to be unable to withstand the backlash of the Fengluan demon power.

This boat stimulated the Fengluan demon power, and there would be no damage within a quarter of an hour.

In order to escape, Chen Yuan continued to stimulate the Fengluan demon power for more than two quarters of an hour, and finally reached the limit of the Duyun Boat.

But he couldn't stop at this time, so he could only escape as far as possible before the Duyun Boat disintegrated.

After the first crack appeared, more and more cracks appeared on the Duyun Boat.

A quarter of an hour later, the Duyun Boat finally disintegrated, turning into countless fragments and falling down.

The Fengluan True Feather also broke apart, turning into a breeze, blowing on Chen Yuan's face.

The Fengluan phantom disappeared, leaving only a slightly thin blood-colored light that wrapped around Chen Yuan. The speed of escape dropped a lot. Although it was still slightly faster than the early Jindan cultivator, it was obviously slower than Liu Fan.

Seeing this, Liu Fan's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he quickly closed the distance with Chen Yuan, laughing: "Without the flying spirit weapon, I wonder where you can escape!"

The hundreds of miles of pursuit made Liu Fan quite worried, whether there would be other Jindan cultivators interfering.

But Chen Yuan's flying spirit weapon destroyed itself, and it was impossible to escape his pursuit with only the blood escape technique!

In a few breaths, Liu Fan chased to within six hundred feet behind Chen Yuan. Chen Yuan did not need to look back, and he could use his spiritual sense to see the hideous and twisted expression on Liu Fan's face.

In the past, he had always maintained a carefree and indifferent image in front of other cultivators. He did not look like a demon cultivator, but rather like a righteous man.

But in front of the treasure, he could no longer maintain his composure, revealing his greedy nature.

Chen Yuan took a deep breath, suddenly raised his right hand, and slapped it hard on his chest.

Puff!

He spit out a large mouthful of blood essence, and his tall body became visibly thinner. His dry skin was tightly attached to his skeleton, and the whole person became like a skeleton evil ghost, as if he would die in the next moment.

But his eyes were still shining, and he quickly raised his hand to pinch the seal, muttering something in his mouth.

The blood essence exploded and turned into a ball of red blood mist, which wrapped Chen Yuan, and then shot out, like a blood-colored lightning, instantly flying over a hundred feet, pulling away from Liu Fan!

He practiced both the Dharma and the body, and although he only had the foundation-building cultivation, his blood essence was as thick as Liu Fan.

This was the third time he had used the Blood Escape Technique, which consumed more than 40% of his blood and essence, leaving less than 10% of his blood and essence in his body.

He had already risked everything, and at all costs, he had to survive the remaining 100 miles!

Liu Fan's face changed. Chen Yuan's body was as thin as a ghost, which was a sign that his blood and essence were almost exhausted.

Even if he really escaped, he would die of blood and essence exhaustion, unless he took a precious elixir that could restore blood and essence.

Wait!

Wei Wuding got so many spiritual herbs from the space magic weapon, it is very likely that there are spiritual herbs that can restore blood and essence, otherwise why would he be so decisive to perform the Blood Escape Technique in succession?

Liu Fan's thoughts turned rapidly, and he thought of Chen Yuan's escape until now, and he had been extremely calm and not panicked at all, and his face became even uglier.

Such calmness, either he was ready to die, or he had another trump card.

And Wei Wuding was so tenacious, he must not be ready to die, could he really be sure of escaping?

Liu Fan stared at Chen Yuan, who had opened up a thousand feet of distance in front of him, with a very solemn expression.

Suddenly, he raised his hand and slapped his chest, spurting out a mouthful of blood essence, and pinching the magic formula with his hands.

The blood essence instantly exploded into a ball of blood mist, which was absorbed by Liu Fan's escape light, and the blood color became more intense, and the escape speed increased dramatically!

As a Jindan cultivator and a true disciple of the Blood Spirit Sect, he studied the blood path in depth, and used 20% of his blood essence to perform the blood escape technique, which was enough to support half an hour.

Now he performed the blood escape technique again, and the escape speed increased again. Within a few breaths, the distance was shortened by more than ten feet.

In order to avoid more trouble, Liu Fan did not hesitate to consume another 10% of his blood essence to increase his escape speed, and he also wanted to catch Chen Yuan as soon as possible.

This was also his limit. If he consumed more blood essence, he would need to recuperate for several years. At the critical moment of conquering Qi, he could not compete with other demon cultivators for cultivation resources, and the loss was too great.

But the blood escape technique that consumed 30% of the blood essence was already extremely extraordinary. The distance between Liu Fan and Chen Yuan was rapidly closing. In less than half an hour, there were only more than 300 feet left.

Two hundred feet, 150 feet, 100 feet...

The two chased and fled, and fled for dozens of miles. Liu Fan was less than 60 feet away from Chen Yuan.

At this time, the two came to the top of a small mountain range that was more than ten miles long. Liu Fan laughed grimly, and more than a dozen blood spirits that had been condensed for the longest time flew out of his body and pounced on Chen Yuan.

After Chen Yuan performed the blood escape technique, his escape speed was too fast. Ordinary blood spirits could not catch up. Only these dozen carefully cultivated blood spirits were the fastest and could interfere with Chen Yuan.

The blood spirits turned into more than a dozen blood lines, and flew over a distance of more than ten feet in the blink of an eye, almost pounced behind Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan looked at the mountains below, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he turned his head suddenly, slapped his heart heavily with his right hand, and spurted out a mouthful of blood essence!

The blood essence exploded and turned into a blood mist. Chen Yuan's speed increased a little bit, and he distanced himself from the blood spirit and flew to the mountains below.

The blood spirit chased him closely, but he could not cross the short distance of ten feet.

Chen Yuan used the blood escape technique for the fourth time. With only a trace of blood essence left in his body, his speed even exceeded that of ordinary mid-stage Jindan cultivators.

Within a few breaths, he came to a bare mountain, quickly lowered the escape light, and rushed into the cave on the mountainside.

Liu Fan's face changed drastically. He didn't care about the loss of blood essence and used the blood escape technique to increase his speed.

But he was still dozens of feet away from Chen Yuan. Just as he rushed into the cave, Chen Yuan had already flown through the passage of dozens of feet and came to the stone hall.

The ancient teleportation array was waiting here quietly, intact.

He came to the center of the teleportation array, stroked his storage bag, took out the black teleportation order and eight high-grade spirit stones with different properties, raised his hand and threw them into the grooves around, and then madly injected true energy into the teleportation order.

The cloud pattern on the back of the black token quickly lit up, and the eight high-grade spirit stones exploded. The eight black lines connecting the grooves were dyed with eight colors of gold, green, red, blue, yellow, white, blue, and silver, and quickly extended to the middle of the formation.

After a breath, the entire formation was dyed with eight colors, mixed together, and turned into a slightly grayish silver-white color, which was extremely strange.

Buzz!

The teleportation array made a buzzing sound, and silver-white light quickly rose from the edge of the formation, forming a light column that soared into the sky!

The silver-white light column broke through the barren mountain, pierced the sky, and penetrated the sky and the earth, and an invisible ripple spread out.

Liu Fan's face changed wildly. He had felt this kind of power before. This was the space power that escaped after the collapse of the space magic weapon!

However, this spatial force was much weaker and did not cause his storage bag to collapse.

This is... the long-lost ancient teleportation array!

He was shocked and crossed the passage that was dozens of feet long and came to the stone hall. Hundreds of blood spirits flew out of his body and pounced on Chen Yuan, roaring: "Wei Wuding, don't even think about escaping!"

But Chen Yuan, who was wrapped in the silver-white light column, flashed a trace of sarcasm in his eyes, and his figure suddenly disappeared!

The silver-white light column slowly dissipated, and the blood spirits pounced on nothing, flying around in the stone hall.

The sunlight sprinkled from the big hole that the silver-white light column broke through, and fell on Liu Fan, warm and cozy.

But he was so angry that he trembled all over. He took a few deep breaths, but still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. He roared without grace: "Wei Wuding, you'd better never come back!"
