Chapter 595: Eldritch-Immortal Struggle For Supremacy (2)

Soon, the massive group of about a thousand people felt rested enough to continue. Supporting each other, they resumed their southward escape.

Most of the group consisted of ordinary eldritch race members at the mid and late-stage Communion phase, so their speed of travel wasn't particularly fast. In a day, they could cover 100,000 li at most.

According to the map, the closest low-tier tribe was over a million li southward. As for the closest mid-tier tribe? It was several million li away.

There's no rush. Though I've obtained some information, it's not extensive. It's better to slowly understand this Huanggu World from the ground up. Wu Yuan thought to himself. A thousand years?

According to the instructions, Wu Yuan could stay in this world for a thousand years at most, after which he must leave. If he died during this period, it would be a true death!

As for what opportunities this Huanggu World held? What secrets it concealed? Wu Yuan would have to discover that for himself.

The struggle between the eldritch and immortal races. With my body refiner self’s heavenly endowed eldritch tattoos, there's really only one path open to me—to join the eldritch race! To stand on the side of the eldritch camp. Wu Yuan mused.

According to the overall intelligence, this entire Huanggu World wasn't particularly vast. Perhaps it wasn't even as large as the mainland of an immortal continent. But he was only at the Shambhala phase, and all his powerful artifacts and treasures had been confiscated, including Shadow Moon.

Right now, I don't even have any artifacts. This Immutable Land only left me with a single storage artifact and a few pieces of first-grade spirit equipment. At most, I can contend with some ninth-stage Elysian Field cultivators. Wu Yuan thought.

Strength was derived partly from oneself, but artifacts were also crucial.

According to the legends, Archeldritches had appeared in the most ancient of times. Over the long years, the number of Earth Immortal and High Immortal-level cultivators accumulated in the world was surely not small.

For now, it wasn't his turn to be arrogant.

I need to keep a low profile, slowly integrating into this world. As one of the two supreme factions in the entire world, if I can become part of the eldritch race's core, I'll naturally come to know many secrets. Wu Yuan thought through it clearly.

Wu Yuan attempted to spread his Soul Will, and immediately felt an invisible force of suppression.Just like the Thunder Marsh World, he could only spread it to a maximum of just over 30,000 li. To avoid mental fatigue, Wu Yuan only maintained a detection range of only about 20,000 li.

While maintaining his vigilance, Wu Yuan continued to contemplate the Dao as always. A moment later, he was slightly surprised. In this world, deducing and comprehending the Law of Life seems much easier than before?

Moreover it has gotten much easier for me to comprehend the Creation Essence Diagram as well. Wu Yuan was quite shocked.

It was worth noting that when comprehending the Law of Life previously, he had gradually begun to feel the effects of Dao Assimilation from the three Intermediate Laws. Though still very weak, it wasn't non-existent.

But in this Huanggu World, there seemed to be no influence? As for comprehending the Creation Essence Diagram, this lack of influence was even more apparent, with the Dao patterns within the Essence Diagram emanating Dao fluctuations with little resistance.

How mysterious and bizarre. No wonder Master Kua Chi said that this Immutable Land might hold a rare great opportunity for me. Wu Yuan thought.

But why? This Dao Assimilation influence is unavoidable no matter where I am in heaven and earth... Could it be that this place was really created by a supreme being who transcended heaven and earth? Wu Yuan muttered to himself.

Forget it. These matters are too far beyond me. Since I'm here, I'll make the best of it.

A thousand years? Even if I don't gain any opportunities, just cultivating in this Huanggu World for a thousand years is already a great benefit. Wu Yuan couldn't help but smile.

He continued his cultivation.

...

"Senior is truly a diligent cultivator."

"I suspect that Senior must have been in arduous cultivation when we found him lying on the grass earlier."

"Mm-hmm, it must be so. Otherwise, how could Senior have cultivated to the peak of the Eldritch Warrior phase?" As they traveled, the Zhu Fu Tribe members conversed in low voices and stole glances at Wu Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged in mid-air, cultivating quietly yet still keeping pace with the group.

Though fleeing, their resilient nature allowed them to quickly accept their current situation.

"Zhu Yi, although you have awakened the Archeldritch bloodline, you’ll still need to work hard if you want to become a powerful expert like this Earth Eldritch lineage Senior," the elderly man in beast hide robes said softly.

"Mm, I understand," the young girl nodded, her gaze sweeping over Wu Yuan sitting cross-legged in mid-air, her young eyes filled with determination.

She yearned for the power to seek revenge!

...

Wu Yuan protected the entire group as they fled southward.

Meanwhile, in the far north, tens of thousands of li from them, a silver battleship hovered in the sky. Light distorted around the silver battleship, concealing its trail.

Aboard the battleship stood a large group of soldiers in silver armor, each exuding an extraordinary aura. The flags on both sides of the battleship bore ancient characters.

Any member of the eldritch race would recognize those characters at a glance—Immortal!

This was the immortal army of the Immortal Court, the sharp blade that allowed the Immortal Court to occupy Heavenly Pillar Mountain and even wage war across Huanggu!

"General, we've killed the last three groups of escapees led by Eldritch Warriors, but still haven't found the one with the Archeldritch bloodline," a silver-armored soldier with shriveled skin said in a low voice.

"Then only the group to the south remains," the tall, black-armored man with triangular eyes revealed a cold smile.

With insufficient time accumulated, no interactions with the external world, and no guidance from seniors, the overall standard would naturally be lower.

What great opportunity could such a world hold? The Creation Divine Artifacts? Wu Yuan picked up on a name mentioned in the intelligence.

Creation Divine Artifacts were controlled by the immortal race.

No need to rush, take it slow. In a few more decades, I'll be able to step into the Elysian Field phase, and my Dao comprehension will improve greatly. Only then will I have the qualifications to roam freely in this world. Wu Yuan thought to himself.

When lacking in strength, one must maintain a low profile.

Hmm? They've caught up so quickly? Wu Yuan frowned slightly, his Soul Will already sensing it.

...

In a canyon ten thousand li away, a silver battleship hovered.

"We've found them. Following the general's directions, the Eldritch Detection Array has confirmed the presence of a large number of eldritch members within a radius of twenty thousand li." There were nearly a hundred silver-armored soldiers on the battleship. At this moment, their eyes gleamed with excitement.

The Eldritch Detection Array could only detect the gathering of a large number of eldritch members at close range.

"Kill!"

"Begin the search immediately."
