Chapter 688: The Terrifying Wu Yuan (1)

In theory, travelling through the Fragmentary Spatial Layer would be tens of thousands of times faster than travelling in the Material Spatial Layer at the same speed after dimensional expansion.

However, the vast majority of Archimmortals had yet to reach the Dao comprehension level required for integration into higher spatial dimensions, relying on brute force instead. Thus, their speed in the Fragmentary Spatial Layer would be drastically reduced. Even so, it would normally still be a thousand times faster.

Additionally, the environment of the Frost Mist Sea was special and had a greater impact on higher spatial dimensions, making it easy for Wu Yuan to detect these Archimmortals as they moved through the Fragmentary Spatial Layer.

In fact, even before the three Archimmortals could launch their attack, the violent spatial fluctuations from their movements in a higher spatial dimension already alerted Zhuo Haiyue and Kou Lei to their approach.

Whoosh! Whoosh! The lightning domain spread over hundreds of thousands of li, their power concentrated on the centermost area in a ten thousand li radius. Zhuo Haiyue exerted her full strength, completely stabilizing the spatial fluctuations.

Unable to descend directly from the Fragmentary Spatial Layer, these ambushing Archimmortals could only launch their killing moves from tens of thousands of li away.

Boom! A golden light, vast enough to cover the sky and earth, surged forward with unimaginable explosive power, distorting space around it. It reached the speed of light, barreling straight towards them.

This was clearly a powerful arcane art cast by an Archimmortal, with overwhelming might capable of instantly killing an ordinary High Immortal.

"It's you! You were the one who hunted me down in the Frost Mist Sea last time as well!" Kou Lei's eyes burned with fury the moment he recognized them.

Wu Yuan and Zhuo Haiyue's expressions shifted. Kou Lei had been killed by these hunters before? They were that strong?

"Haha, we killed you last time, yet you dare to come to the Frost Mist Sea again."

"Kill!" A series of cold battle cries pierced through space, transmitted at speeds beyond light.

At the Archimmortal level, a single thought could facilitate tens of thousands of consciousness exchanges.

Thunder! Dragon! Weapon! Zhuo Haiyue's eyes turned cold. Strange knife-like objects flickering with lightning appeared around her. No! They weren't knife rays, but merely manifestations of Thunder essence.

Boom! Hundreds of thousands of Thunder essence knife rays flickered, stirring up dense lightning flashes, which then assembled into an array. In an instant, they formed numerous massive dragons stretching over ten thousand li each, with majestic auras and ferocious appearances!

"Roar! Roar!” The lightning dragons unleashed a series of roars. Facing the terrifying golden light, they didn't dodge at all, but met it head-on. In an instant, both sides collided.

Rumble~ A terrifying explosion ensued. The lightning dragons were torn apart, the aftershocks sending them flying back. But those golden rays were also greatly weakened, with only a few continuing to surge forward.

"Get lost!" High Deity Kou Lei's eyes were ice-cold.

Whoosh! A long spear appeared in his hand. As he thrust it forth, it seemed to pierce the firmament and even tear space itself. There seemed to be no end to its sharp edge, which swept across a vast expanse of space, obliterating the remaining weakened rays of golden light.

The seemingly almighty arcane art unleashed by the Archimmortals was easily blocked by Zhuo Haiyue and Kou Lei.

What a formidable combination. No wonder Kou Lei invited Zhuo Haiyue to join the mission. Wu Yuan observed from a higher spatial dimension.

Zhuo Haiyue's comprehension of the Law of Lightning was extremely deep, and she had clearly made great progress in the Qiankun Dao as well. Her overall burst power was very strong. At the very least, the pure power of her domain was formidable.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Hundreds of thousands of li away, three figures appeared in the sky, each one tall and imposing. Two wore blue robes, while the other wore black robes. Their auras were all incredibly powerful. Each possessed four eyes and were humanoid in form.

Wu Yuan and Kou Lei nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

The top-tier geniuses native to the Spacetime Dao Realm were no weaker than the top imprint bearers from the Spacetime Island, and might even be stronger. After all, most factions and macrocosms had only sent a small number of geniuses to cultivate in the Dao Realm.

"You want us to hand over all our treasures? Are you willing to swear an oath?" Kou Lei's voice rumbled, echoing through the void.

Without an oath, handing over their treasures would leave them as vulnerable as lambs to the slaughter.

"An oath? I'm willing to show you mercy, yet you dare to ask me to swear an oath. It seems you don't understand the situation you’re in. What a bunch of fools," His Highness Li Xuan, the silver-skinned youth, shook his head. "Kill them."

"Yes!"

"Kill." The two Archimmortals sprang into action. One unleashed a roaring golden light that surged towards them in a relentless wave. Meanwhile, the other conjured a vast domain filled with massive serpents, each one a formidable force formed from powerful artifacts, hissing as they lunged forward to strike.

"Run!"

"Quick, go!" Zhuo Haiyue and Kou Lei moved as well. A series of terrifying lightning bolts enveloped Kou Lei. It was Zhuo Haiyue's technique.

Boom! Their speed instantly skyrocketed, quickly reaching the speed of light as they shot towards the distance, easily avoiding the attacks of the two Archimmortals. At the same time, streaks of lightning suppressed the surrounding space to prevent ambushes.

"What?"

"Light speed?"

"To instantly reach light speed, how deep is that female Earth Immortal's comprehension of The Law of Lightning?" Both Archimmortals were utterly shocked.

Although they could use brute force to break into higher spatial dimensions, they couldn't reach light speed instantaneously in the Material Spatial Layer. This speed represented a sort of limit. With such an ability alone, one could dominate the battlefield.

"Interesting. Chase them down," His Highness Li Xuan's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. "Let's go, advance through the higher dimension."

Boom! Boom! The three joined forces, instantly breaking into a higher spatial dimension. In a flash, they covered millions of li, then rapidly descended to the lower dimension.

They appeared tens of thousands of li ahead of Zhuo Haiyue and Kou Lei's path – a head-on collision.

"With them travelling through higher dimensions, we can't escape at all," Kou Lei's heart sank to rock bottom. A hint of madness rose in his eyes. "At worst, we’ll drag one of them down with us."

Zhuo Haiyue's eyes flashed, yet not a hint of worry crossed her face. She had faced countless life-or-death situations; what was this bit of danger? In her view, the situation was far from dire!

"Go!" Zhuo Haiyue led Kou Lei, moving like lightning. She was eerily swift, intending to evade their pursuers.

"Still trying to escape?" His Highness Li Xuan's gaze fell upon Zhuo Haiyue. "I admire your abilities, so... die!"

He raised his hand.

Boom! Boom! Two dazzling silver lights materialized before him, tearing through the sky like two terrifyingly immense silver torrents. Their might shook heaven and earth as they accelerated to light speed almost instantly, even surpassing it, hurtling directly towards Kou Lei and Zhuo Haiyue.
