CHAPTER 343: CHAPTER 317: SPIRIT OF NIGHT TRAVEL_3

"Running quite fast, I see."

...

Wrapped in starlight, Qi Xiu and his companions had emerged into a cavern space miles away.

Li Nian had just landed when a muffled groan escaped him, and he spat out a jet of blood. A dark light emerged within his Ancestral Aperture at his brow, eroding continuously inward as if trying to penetrate further.

He collapsed forward, completely unconscious.

Realizing Li Nian was injured, everyone hurriedly surrounded him, employing various healing techniques, but all with minimal effect.

An Outer Realm Evil God was an existence that only Primordial Spirit Bosses could contend with.

Even though they were currently facing just an incarnation that had recently possessed a body, the situation was hardly any better.

"Let me try."

Approaching, Qi Xiu bit his finger and drew out a strand of essence blood swirling with indistinct, iridescent hues over Li Nian’s Ancestral Aperture, inscribing the character for ’Suppress’!

Once the Suppressing Talisman was formed, the dark light that had been eroding into Li Nian’s Ancestral Aperture immediately halted.

"It’s working!" Zhao Zaiyang’s face lit up with joy, but before he could say anything more, Qi Xiu frowned and gestured with his hand,

"Don’t be quick to rejoice. I’ve only temporarily suppressed this Evil God’s power. Over time, the effect will diminish.

"Our best course of action now is to inform the outside world as quickly as possible.

"We’re not equipped to deal with an Outer Realm Evil God."

Despite having accomplished the extraordinary feat of a reverse severing of his Dao Body, Qi Xiu was far from overconfident.

With their limited power, they stood no chance against the incarnated Outer Realm Evil God.

With just two moves from the opponent, they had already lost two people.

And now, with Li Nian unconscious, their primary means of escape was gone. If that incarnated Outer Realm Evil God were to pursue them, they would be forced to face it head-on.

But what difference was there between fighting an incarnated Outer Realm Evil God and seeking death?

"We don’t seek to win, only to break through the blockade and let those outside know!"

Qi Xiu’s eyes flickered as he rapidly spun the Golden Cry Jade Beads in his hands.

There was no way the Sect Master and the others would ignore the matter of summoning the Outer Realm Evil God and let us act freely. I’m sure that right now, outside Ten Thousand Caves Mountain, many eyes are watching this place closely. If we can let even the slightest hint of the Outer Realm Evil God’s presence leak out, we might be saved.

As numerous plans flashed through Qi Xiu’s mind in an instant, the light in the sky began to dim.

Just like what had happened earlier in the Starlight Corridor.

Their complexions changed as Qi Xiu and the others exchanged serious glances.

They’ve caught up so quickly?

On the distant horizon, abyss-like darkness surged uncontrollably like a flood. It mercilessly devoured the boundaries of light, painting the once blue sky and green earth with a deathly ink. The stars dimmed, the sun and moon lost their glow, and all living things trembled within this vast darkness.

At the very edge of this nearly engulfed light, a figure stepped out, walking slowly on the surging tide of darkness.

Her strides were steady and determined. Every step seemed to resonate with the hum of the universe, in harmony with the darkness that enveloped the world.

In this realm, she was seemingly the only sovereign, commanding the Eternal Night and silence.

In the space of a breath, this incarnate of the Outer Realm Evil God, who had possessed Nangong Qingqiu’s body, arrived in front of Qi Xiu and his group. Looking at these few youngsters, poised for battle, she smiled. The boundless darkness around her rippled as if submitting to her, becoming her skirts.

"Don’t be nervous. Let me introduce myself. I am what you call the Outer Realm Evil God.

"But I’m not too fond of the name Evil God.

"If possible, you may call me by another name.

"Spirit of Night Travel!"
