Crackling!

Jin Gwi-shi, who has been relentlessly striking the Heavenly Tribulation barrier, grits his teeth.

"Kugh, damn it...!"

By now, his body is in a state where even moving is difficult due to the lightning shot by the Six Extremes Ghost King, Jeon Myeong-hoon.

To make matters worse, the massive Sky Island seems to be stirring again.

Wiiing―

The light of blessings brilliantly bursts forth from the Sky Island and begins to advance forward.

Jeon Myeong-hoon hides his body inside the Heavenly Tribulation Barrier and laughs.

[Haha, well then, farewell for now. We shall be on our way.]

Wiiing―

The Sky Island begins accelerating.

But Jin Gwi-shin, despite being battered and vomiting blood, sneers.

[Hah, it seems like a method that moves a certain distance per day. Every place in a 200,000 li radius of here is within the reach of the Black Ghost Palace! All the Integration stage Ghost Kings stationed at our branches will be contacted! Do you think you can keep running forever!? How long do you think you can maintain that Heavenly Tribulation barrier!?]

However, Jeon Myeong-hoon merely enters deeper within the barrier with a nonchalant expression.

"Hmm, indeed. Moving only 200,000 li at a time can be a bit risky."

Kwa-jijijijik!

He glances at Oh Hyun-seok, who is overcoming the Heavenly Tribulation.

"Hyun-seok Hyung-nim will soon be done with his tribulation, so the Heavenly Tribulation barrier can't last forever either way..."

It doesn't matter.

Wiiing―

Wiiing―

Wiiing―

The Sky Island accelerates tenfold as it moves forward.

As it accelerates more and more, at some point it uses the ground-shrinking technique to cover hundreds of thousands of li. This is the Realm Annihilation Ground-Shrinking Formation.

And this Realm Annihilation Ground-Shrinking Formation has one particular feature.

Flash!

[No matter which direction you flee! You will never! Escape from the grasp of our Black Ghost Palace!]

Every time the ground-shrinking formation is used, up to 7 times, the spatial distortion that it creates intensifies, and the distance of the space folded doubles like the tenfold accelerating Sky Island.

'Earlier it covered 200,000 li, so now it will be 400,000 li.'

Jeon Myeong-hoon inwardly clicks his tongue.

'This world really...has an overwhelming sense of scale.'

Kwagwagwagwa!

The Twilight Domain activates the Realm Annihilation Ground-Shrinking Formation again towards the second destination.

Flash!

"Second destination, arrived."

[Well done, everyone.]

After commending the formation masters, I extend my consciousness to survey the surroundings of the Twilight Domain.

The first leap covered 200,000 li.

The next was 400,000 li.

'A total of 600,000 li. Not bad.'

The Realm Annihilation Ground-Shrinking Formation doubles the distance with each movement and can leap seven times in total.

Starting with 200,000 li, the total possible distance is...

'25 million li.'

The number is dizzying, but it's nonetheless possible.

'This is the power of human malice when converted into the ability to move...'

It's an insane distance.

'Though 400,000 li is not a long distance for those at the Integration stage, it will become increasingly difficult to follow as the distance doubles over the next days.

Kwa-jijijik!

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Tribulation falling from the sky gradually thins and finally disappears.

At the spot where Oh Hyun-seok was standing,

There appears a giant of starlight with eight pairs of wings.

Kugugugugu!

The Azure Spirit Starlight Quintessence Great Method that Oh Hyun-seok reached great completion in is somewhat different from the one mastered by me and Azure Tiger Saint.

While starlight sparkles within my and the Azure Tiger Saint's bodies, mysterious purple clouds billow forth along with the starlight in Oh Hyun-seok's body,u0026nbsp;

This seems to be a part of his unique abilities.

'Well, good. In any case, with this...'

All four Law Protectors of the Wuji Religious Order have attained at least the Four-Axis stage in combat power.

Jeon Myeong-hoon, Hong Fan, and Oh Hyun-seok have all reached the Four-Axis stage, and the only one who hasn't, Kim Yeon, is practically the second-in-command of the puppets that form the backbone of the Wuji Religious Order.

Since she can mobilize the entire Wuji Religious Order at any time, her own cultivation level is irrelevant.

'In addition to that...'

[It's a bit surprising. To change your decision so quickly.]

"..."

Hong Fan, approaching Yu Hye, asks again with a slightly worried look.

"I'm repeating this again, but because the spatial waves haven't subsided yet, the contents of the message might be distorted upon arrival. Some parts might be missing or mixed with static noise."

"Hmm, it's fine. My superior will understand everything regardless of how it's conveyed, so he'll understand even if it's somewhat distortion."

"If you say so..."

Paaaatt!

Soon after, the transmission talisman in Yu Hye's hand turns into a ray of light and flies somewhere.

At the place where the White Yin Domain used to be.

There, a Nether Crossing Ship is swiftly flying somewhere.

In the captain's cabin of the Nether Crossing Ship.

The sailors gather around, encouraging Cha Jo-gwi who looks as if he lost his soul.

"Don't worry, Captain. The Lieutenant will surely be safe."

"With her personality, she might even be scolding those devilish cult bastards and giving them a lesson."

"Besides, those guys are fleeing right now. How could they have the leisure to do anything to the Lieutenant? If we catch the devilish cult quickly, the Lieutenant will safely return!"

Cha Jo-gwi faintly smiles at the sailors' encouragement.

"...Yes...thank you, everyone...I've shown you a disgraceful side as your captain..."

At that moment.

Paaaaaat!

A clear light enters Cha Jo-gwi's captain's room.

"That, that's...!?"

"A transmission talisman?"

Cha Jo-gwi flinches in surprise and reaches out to the talisman.

Then, a gentle voice begins to emanate from it.

―Cha Jo-gwi-nim...

It's Yu Hye's voice.

Cha Jo-gwi's eyes widen, and the sailors of the Nether Crossing Ship fall silent.

Chi-jik, chi-ji-jik—

The static is quite loud, but Cha Jo-gwi swallows and trembles as he speaks.

"Yu, Yu Hye...! Are you alright? Please, please answer...!"

Chi-jik, chi-ji-jik—

Despite the static, Yu Hye's voice manages to come through the transmission talisman to Cha Jo-gwi.

—Chi-ji-jik...here...chi-ji-jik...worry...hell...chi-ji-jik...

"...Yu, Yu Hye..."

—Leader...chi-ji-jik...truly grand...do e...love...won't forget...

"..."

—Forever...chi-ji-jik...brainwash...soon...goodbye...chi-ji-jik...

Chi-jik, chi-ji-ji-jik...

With that, the transmission talisman goes silent.

And, in the captain's room of the 30th Nether Crossing Ship.

A tremendous wave of ghostly energy begins to surge.

[Those devilish cult bastards!!!]

Kugugugugu!

[I'll kill them all!!!]

With tears of blood streaming from his eyes, Cha Jo-gwi grits his teeth.

[No matter what it takes!!!]

Seven days pass.

Kugugugugu—

Finally, the Wuji Religious Order and the Twilight Domain covers the insane distance of 25 million li, reaching the northern end of the Nether Ghost Realm.

They approach the boundary between the Stable Realm and the Chaos Realm.

"It's almost time."

I sit in the cult leader's seat, smiling.

Jeon Myeong-hoon, to my right, nods.

"Yes, it's almost time."

Soon, we will be able to rescue the remaining disciples of the Golden Divine Heavenly Thunder Sect.

Kugugugugu—

The Twilight Domain moves through the sky.

The Realm Annihilation Ground-Shrinking Formation can no longer be used, but simple movement is still possible using the Twilight Domain's dragon vein.

After a while.

We arrive at the area where the remains of the one who went berserk under the influence of an Entering Nirvana True Person are located.

Swoosh...

I fly above the Wuji Religious Order, taking a deep breath at the distant sight.

"Is that...the end of one who dies under the corruption of a True Person?"
