CHAPTER 781: CHAPTER 484: RETURN TO DONGHUANG ISLAND

Over ten thousand kilometers away, Ji Xinghuo and Qing Hong emerged from the void and appeared above the surface of the sea.

He immediately turned his head to look around.

Macro Heavenly Eye swiftly locked onto the high-speed flying light, observed for a few seconds, and found that the direction of the other party remained unchanged, still heading toward the island where the solar eclipse phenomenon had occurred.

The sense of danger gradually subsided, leaving only a trace.

"Good, she just detected the solar eclipse phenomenon," Ji Xinghuo relaxed, but continued to keep a distance.

He did not jump through the Star Realm again immediately; instead, he flew through the Sea Abyss and put away Qing Hong.

Boom...

Ji Xinghuo turned into a bolt of lightning, tearing the sky with a thunderous roar.

The Thunderstorm Sword surrounded his body, forming a coil of electric current, operating the Shock Wave Turbulence to its fullest, while the Star Power inside his body built an electromagnetic field to propel himself.

During his flight, Ji Xinghuo had an idea.

Electromagnetic polarization instantly activated, polarizing his Star Power electromagnetic field, the repulsion resulting from the reversing of the poles intensifying, instantly raising the operating speed of everything from the Magnetic Spirit Star Core to the coil of electric current by an order of magnitude.

His speed surged explosively!

Ji Xinghuo’s body, like a phantom, flew thousands of kilometers in an instant, breaking twice the sound speed of the Star Realm.

This was equivalent to six times the speed of sound on Earth.

"I can go even faster!"

He opened the interface of the Wanxiang Star Pupil and invested Spiritual Origin Ability into "Acceleration," this ability had not been upgraded for a long time.

[Ability: Acceleration (Third Level 5042/127321)]

Over 120,000 points of Spiritual Origin Ability were invested, quickly elevating "Acceleration" to (Fourth Level 1/757271).

Ji Xinghuo’s speed immediately increased.

Gradually, he broke his usual speed limit, eventually reaching triple the sound speed of the Star Realm, then it stabilized again.

"Nearly at Mach 10," Ji Xinghuo experienced the exhilarating speed akin to that of a shuttle.

Even with the Ethereal Exquisite Heart saving Star Power, the recovery of Star Power was fast, but such high-speed flying could not be sustained long-term. However, as long as he was close to running out of Star Power, he could let Jiu You possess him and recover Star Power through the King of Annihilation.

In this way, he could sustain it permanently!

Ji Xinghuo flew at full speed without any reservations, frequently looking back to check on that Shepherd Star Saint to make sure the latter had not caught up.

In only about six minutes,

he had flown over a thousand kilometers, then jumped through the Star Realm again, over ten thousand kilometers.

After the second jump, Ji Xinghuo was more than 25,000 kilometers away from that island, while that Shepherd Star Saint was still heading towards the island.

The danger alert from the Wanxiang Star Pupil completely disappeared.

"Should have shaken her off,"

Ji Xinghuo was completely relieved.

The first two jumps were both southward; if he went southeast, that would be the forbidden area of the Emperor Thunder Snake’s domain. He had considered leading the Shepherd Star Saint there, but it was too risky. He absolutely couldn’t let the Shepherd Star Saint track his movements.

Even if the Shepherd Star Saint went to the island, she would only see the remnants of the solar eclipse phenomenon, and couldn’t get any clues from the nearby Sea Abyss Hunters.

To lure her to the Emperor Thunder Snake, he would have to throw out bait.

That was undoubtedly like throwing oneself into the net.

To avoid contact when unnecessary, giving no information was the safest route.

Ji Xinghuo did not jump through the Star Realm again but turned southwest and flew at full speed, increasing the distance significantly, and constantly monitored the movements of the Shepherd Star Saint.

Half an hour later, he had fled more than 30,000 kilometers away from the island.

Suddenly, the Shepherd Star Saint disappeared.

"Star Realm Jump!"

Ji Xinghuo’s heart skipped a beat; the other party really mastered the Star Realm Jump. Macro Heavenly Eye scanned and tracked it, locking on the shockingly fast-moving light over ten thousand kilometers away, precisely that Shepherd Star Saint.

"Just like me, also at Fifth Level Star Realm Jump," Ji Xinghuo made the judgment.

After that, the Shepherd Star Saint continued the jumps.

She didn’t hold back, using up this period’s total jump distance immediately, crossing over forty thousand kilometers, and reached the island.

The light landed on a crumbling peak on the island, and as the light converged, a woman appeared.

She wore streamlined, form-fitting armor covered by a plain long skirt, her appearance was not outstanding, above average with a pair of slender phoenix eyes that displayed a hint of coldness and indifference, but what was most striking were the huge pair of Light Wings spreading hundreds of meters from her back.

Each feather on the wings was made of energy, with ends like gentle floating ribbons, fluttering without wind.

Ji Xinghuo did not recognize this woman.

But he recognized these dazzling energy wings, Solar Eclipse Ability—Immortal Light!

One of the seven Divine Dragon Species, Light Cone Dragon; its representative ability was the "Light Wings," which possessed the fastest flying speed and was an advanced ability of Flash Sky Wings. If further advanced to Solar Eclipse Ability, it would become "Immortal Light."

This ability was not exclusive to the Light Cone Dragon, as it was said to have multiple sources.

Immortal Light, aside from providing mutants with unparalleled speed in the Star Realm, also controlled abilities related to the strong interaction force, it was a core ability of the extremely powerful and renowned ultimate profession "Nuclear Angel."

"No wonder she caught up so quickly!"

Amidst Ji Xinghuo’s shock, he also realized.

Immortal Light allowed mutants to simulate the propagation of light; although it could not reach the actual speed of light, even if it was just one-thousandth of light speed, it was already unimaginably fast for ordinary people.

"Who is she?"

Ji Xinghuo was curious.

Like the Titanium Cobalt Family, the Light Cone Dragon Vein families were few, totaling only three. This Shepherd Star Saint must come from one of them, and given her strength, she was likely the Light Cone Dragon King of one of these families.
