CHAPTER 188: CHAPTER 185 VERSION UPDATE? _2

In these thirteen days, Lu Yan was constantly fleeing for his life, so much so that he couldn’t determine where he had ended up.

...

Escaping another wave of pursuers, Lu Yan concealed himself using the Profound Unity True Intent, skimming over a range of mountains to reduce the traces of his fleeing light, a practical technique he learned during these days.

Just as Lu Yan melded into the forest, a sudden, irresistible fear swept over his entire body, as if the air around him had frozen in place.

If someone from the outside could see, they would notice Lu Yan’s flying speed gradually slowing down, moving barely two to three meters per second, like an insect trapped in amber, struggling endlessly.

Lu Yan’s eyes were wide open, his thoughts in his mind seemed to slow down as well, but the instant he sensed danger, he managed to utter two words.

"Profound Vagina!"

In an instant, the Heaven and Earth Techniques Source, a purple vortex, burst open, the Profound Vagina Door suppressing all rules and countless Dao Principles manifesting in that moment.

The stagnated speed of escape and thought recovered in an instant as the Magical Power accumulated in the Supreme Dao Foundation was fully activated, turning into a streak of light, breaking free from the stagnant space and time.

The next second, the Profound Vagina Door shattered with a loud crash, and just as Lu Yan escaped, he was hit by the backlash of the shattered True Intent of the Great Dao, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

If not for Lu Yan’s Divine Soul undergoing the transformation of the Supreme Foundation Establishment, the backlash of the Great Dao alone would have left him powerless to resist.

Lu Yan’s eyes burned intensely as he spoke each word solemnly:

"Nether Abyss!"

The position of the Profound Vagina Door is so high, it ranks among the top on the Heaven and Earth True Technique List, as the Source of All Techniques, the basis of all rules.

With such a high position, even a Mara Realm powerhouse using True Techniques to suppress by realm, it should be impossible to instantly crush the three-meter-tall Profound Vagina Door.

Only a human ancestor of the Nether Abyss Realm could achieve such a feat.

They have transformed their bodies into the Path, nearing the embodiment of the Path of Heaven and Earth.

What they possess is no longer just Great Dao True Intent, but actually a part of the Path of Heaven and Earth, fully capable of ignoring positions and crushing Lu Yan.

After thirteen days of pursuit, this was the third time Lu Yan encountered such a high-level powerhouse.

And in the mountain range Lu Yan had just flown over, a man in a torn robe hovered in the void.

Half of his body had a demon-like grey-white hue, countless twisted lines wriggled under his skin. The other half of his body was replaced by fragmented space, with illusions of different spaces faintly visible circulating within.

One of his eyes shone like a silver moon, while the other was a deep space vortex, warping space wherever it looked, blending reality with void.

A Nether Abyss Ancestor, and one who mastered the Path of Space at the highest level!

His gaze was indifferent, fixed on Lu Yan, the space Lu Yan had fled across twisted instantly.

With a single step, he crossed dozens of miles to appear next to Lu Yan.

With fingers spread wide, the Space-Time Amber condensed once again in an instant, enveloping Lu Yan within.

The Profound Vagina Door had just experienced breaking, Lu Yan could not open it again, and could only be frozen in the Space-Time Amber.

Then the space shifted, the massive Space-Time Amber transformed into a gemstone and was taken into the hand of the man in the torn robe, as if everything had settled.

As the man in the torn robe was about to leave, it seemed he suddenly sensed something and looked at the Space-Time Amber in his hand.

Inside that Space-Time Amber, the image of Lu Yan faded away like a fleeting dream bubble.

...

Meanwhile, in a cave thousands of miles away, Lu Yan suddenly awoke from a dream.

Around him, the True Intent of the Great Dao continued to circulate unstably.

This was the Nameless True Intent from the Nameless Heaven and Earth Dream Heart Sutra.

Nameless Intent comes from the Great Dao being nameless, its true intent could reflect eternity through a single dream.

Lu Yan’s Nameless True Intent was far from reaching such a level, but he could manifest reality with a dream, creating a dream avatar in place of himself.

The dream avatar could possess its own memory, cause and effect, even Divine Power Skills, and once the dream avatar shattered, it was time to wake from the dream.

Relying on Nameless True Intent, Lu Yan managed to escape with his life the first two times he encountered a Nether Abyss Ancestor.

But this time, even with Nameless True Intent for self-preservation, it might not prove effective.

Using Profound Unity True Intent to conceal himself, the Profound Yellow Merit Fire burned and ignited the cave, eradicating all causes and effects, then Lu Yan transformed into a fleeing light, accelerating to escape.

Just within a few breaths, in the cave engulfed in roaring flames, the large space twisted and shattered like glass, followed by a demon-like figure stepping through space to arrive in the cave.

Even a distance of thousands of miles is insignificant to a powerhouse of the Nether Abyss Realm who masters the Path of Space.

The eyes like a space vortex drifted in space, locking onto the direction moments later.

With a step, the twisted space and silhouette disappeared from the cave.

...

Under the blazing sun, Lu Yan strained his nearly exhausted Magical Power.

This was the first time after completing Supreme Foundation Establishment that he faced the crisis of magical power depletion; the omnipresent killing intent in the space left Lu Yan unable to separate enough Spiritual Qi to replenish his Magical Power.

This pursuit had lasted an entire day, and against a Nether Abyss realm powerhouse mastering the Path of Space, any of Lu Yan’s attempts to escape seemed laughable and ridiculous.

The Spirit Stones on him were long exhausted, leaving only a Soul Banner in his storage bag, with no other Magical Artifacts.

The Profound Vagina Door had shattered several times to help Lu Yan break through the constraints of the Path of Space, but all Great Dao True Intents were exhausted, yet all to no avail.

At this moment, Lu Yan had already reached a stage of utter exhaustion.

Yet, Lu Yan’s eyes showed little fear in this protracted chase; he was keenly aware that the opponent had countless opportunities to kill him.

The gap between a Foundation Establishment cultivator and a Nether Abyss realm powerhouse who mastered the Path of Space is immeasurable by logic.

But the opponent maintained this cat-and-mouse behavior, every attack aimed not at killing but at draining the last measure of Lu Yan’s abilities, giving Lu Yan an inexplicable sense of peculiarity.

It was as if he had already fallen into a prewoven trap.

The next moment, the strange space ripples twisted into countless fragments, piercing through the Profound Unity True Intent enveloping Lu Yan.

The Nether Abyss powerhouse, half-human and half-demon, looked across the space with a hard-to-describe sneer on his face.

Amidst successive shattering, the shrunken by half Profound Vagina Door opened, the Triple Kill True Intent crossing space to fall on the Nether Abyss powerhouse.

Yet in front of an existence who’s merged with the Path of Transformation, even the Great Dao True Intent could not move his Path-transformed body, and the Killing Intent of Heaven, Earth, and Man hadn’t even risen before it was extinguished.

The Nether Abyss powerhouse spread his five fingers, a large hand crossing the spatial boundary slowly descended towards Lu Yan.

The void before Lu Yan fractured, the boundary between reality and void seemed to blur under his hand.

The utterly exhausted Lu Yan had no power left to resist; he merely gazed at the Nether Abyss powerhouse unbothered by the taint emanating from the Path transformed body of his opponent.

"No matter, with the update, I can choose a lower energy level version," Lu Yan thought.

As an Unchanging, Lu Yan could fully capitalize on his unchanging realm cultivation, gaining the upper hand in the final moments.

The version update progress bar slowly ticked until it reached 100%."

"4.44% chance of version change?"

Lu Yan was surprised that there was a hundredth place.

"This pursuit has lasted a full day now, and against a Nether Abyss realm powerhouse who has mastered the Path of Space, any attempt to escape seems futile and comical. With no magical artifact left, and only the Soul Banner in his possession, Lu Yan was already at the brink of collapse."

But within Lu Yan’s eyes was no sign of fear. Instead, a subtle, unexplainable sense of eeriness arose within him as the Nether Abyss powerhouse stepped forward, and the door of the Profound Vagina, even after being repeatedly broken, opened again, only to have its intent extinguished before the Three-Kill True Intent flew out.

At that moment, the Distorted Space, that marred and fractured the protective Profound Unity True Intent, finally vanished.

His gaze was indifferent as he looked towards Lu Yan’s direction, and the space, having imprisoned Lu Yan at that moment, distorted instantly.

A single step, and he overcame dozens of miles to arrive next to Lu Yan.

His five fingers spread out, the Space-Time Amber condensed again in an instant, encasing Lu Yan within.

The Profound Vagina Door, having experienced recent fractures, was unable to open again, leaving Lu Yan sealed within the Space-Time Amber.

Then the space changed, the large Space-Time Amber transformed into a gem, taken by the tattered robe man into his palm, and all seemed settled.

As the tattered-robed man was about to leave, he seemed to suddenly sense something and looked quizzically at the Space-Time Amber in his hand.

Within that Space-Time Amber, Lu Yan’s figure dissipated like a dream fading away.

...

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away in the cave, Lu Yan suddenly awoke from his dream.

Around him, the Nameless True Intent of the Nameless Heaven and Earth Dream Heart Sutra continued to swirl.

The original intention of Nameless came from the Nameless Great Dao, whose true intent could reflect the grandeur of a thousand ancient dreams.

Though Lu Yan’s Nameless True Intent hadn’t reached that level, it could still materialize into a dream body to substitute himself.

The dream body could possess its own memory, causality, even Divine Power Skills, and when the dream body shattered, it was time to wake up.

Thanks to the Nameless True Intent, Lu Yan managed to escape unscathed on two previous encounters with the Nether Abyss Ancestor.

But this time, even with his Nameless True Intent for protection, it may not succeed.

The Profound Unity True Intent concealed him, the Profound Yellow Merit Fire burned and incinerated cause and effect in the cave, then Lu Yan turned into a streak of light and swiftly fled the place.

In just a few breaths, within the fiercely burning cave, a large space twisted and shattered like glass, and a demon-like figure stepped through the space, descending into the cave.

Even though it was thousands of kilometers away, it was still insignificant to a Nether Abyss realm powerhouse proficient in the Path of Space.

The eyes, like space vortices, hovered in the space and locked onto the direction after a while.

With a step taken, the spatial distortion caused the figure to vanish from the cave.

...

With the scorching sun overhead, Lu Yan squeezed out the magical power that was about to be depleted.

This was the first time he faced a magical power crisis since completing Supreme Foundation Establishment; in front of a Nether Abyss realm powerhouse who had mastered the Path of Space, any of his escapes seemed ridiculous and futile.

With no magical artifact left but the Soul Banner, Lu Yan was already at his breaking point.

Yet, Lu Yan’s eyes showed little fear in this protracted chase; he couldn’t shake the eerie sensation that the pursuer’s disdainful gaze conveyed as the Profound Unity True Intent, covering him, was shattered by the distorted space fragments cutting through his body.

"It’s as if they wanted to exhaust every last resort of mine, as if they had some inexplicable, sinister intention," thought Lu Yan.

As if time had frozen, everything in Lu Yan’s sight slowed incredibly.

Within his vision, the progress bar of the version update lingered at 99%.

All he needed was to drag time until the version update, then Lu Yan could choose a lower energy level version.

Being an Unchanging, Lu Yan could rely on his constant realm cultivation to successfully counter and defeat his opponent.

"The version change value can even have two decimal places?"
