Black Tiger Sage naturally recognized the Nether Artifact, but he had never encountered Soul Devouring Force before, so he was quite curious.
Shui Miao dared not act recklessly and tried his best to control the Soul Devouring Force, preventing it from corroding Black Tiger Sage.
The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable naturally recognized underworld artifacts, but he had never seen Soul-Devouring Power before, so he was very curious.
Shui Miao didn’t dare act recklessly and struggled to control the Soul-Devouring Power to prevent it from corroding the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable.
The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable examined the underworld artifact but couldn’t discern anything unusual. He decided to smash it open with his hand to see what was hidden inside. The gloves he wore were two supreme-grade immortal artifacts, and with a single strike, most underworld artifacts would be unable to withstand the force and would shatter on the spot.
Realizing the danger, Shui Miao immediately activated multiple underworld artifacts to conceal himself deep within and, with a thought, triggered the self-destruction of the two outermost artifacts.
“Boom! Boom!”
Coincidentally, the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable struck at almost the same moment the two artifacts self-destructed.
The powerful shockwave sent the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable flying, leaving him dazed as he plummeted into the Raksha Sea.
However, the self-destruction couldn’t harm him, as he was protected by a supreme-grade immortal defensive treasure.
When the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable flew back out of the water, he remembered that he was only a wisp of a clone. He quickly summoned his other two clones and merged them into one to enhance his power. By the time he spread his divine sense to probe the area, Shui Miao had already hidden inside an underworld artifact and fled deep into the Raksha Sea. The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable was left bewildered, wondering what exactly he had struck. Had he killed whatever was hidden inside the artifact?
The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable was somewhat simple-minded and not very meticulous. It never occurred to him that a master might be hiding inside the underworld artifact.
He believed that whoever could plunder the treasure vault of the Evil Dragon Clan and steal the Nüwa Stone must be at least an Immortal Elder-level expert.
Moreover, how could a master’s treasure be so easily self-destructed?
Thus, the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable concluded that Shui Miao was just a minor monster from the Raksha Sea.
Shui Miao narrowly escaped the careless Black Tiger Immortal Venerable.
However, he was now lost.
The blood-red waters of the Raksha Sea were filled with sinister energy, and the sky above had no sun. Hidden inside a fish-shaped underworld artifact, Shui Miao fled desperately, diving deeper and moving forward without any idea where he was headed.
“Black Tiger, what are you doing? Hmm? What is this aura?”
From Evil Dragon Island, Hua Yuting flew out, having captured a severely injured Dragon Venerable.
“Nothing, just a minor monster I smashed to death,” the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable said, his eyes shifting toward the Dragon Venerable.
“Wrong! This aura… this is clearly the aura of a master. Where did he go? Tell me quickly. It might be the one who stole the Nüwa Stone.” Hua Yuting was highly skilled and exceptionally meticulous. He detected the unique signature of the Soul-Devouring Power in the air. Moreover, he had probed the Dragon Venerable’s memories and knew that Luo Tong had stolen the Nüwa Stone. However, he also knew that Luo Tong was currently in the Immortal Realm crafting artifacts and couldn’t possibly have come to steal the Nüwa Stone. Therefore, the thief must be someone else.
“What are you talking about? I struck him, and he just exploded, turned to ashes!”
The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable blinked, convinced that he had killed a minor monster. He was often looked down upon by Hua Yuting, and even if the one who had escaped was truly the master who stole the Nüwa Stone, he would never admit it—because he felt that saving face was paramount.
“This is clearly the aura of an underworld artifact self-destructing. I don’t have time to argue with you! Follow me in pursuit!”
Hua Yuting abandoned the severely injured Dragon Venerable and immediately dove into the depths of the Raksha Sea with the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable. His sense of smell seemed even sharper than a dog’s. Relying on a supreme-grade defensive treasure for protection, he followed the faint traces left by the underworld artifact and pursued Shui Miao.
“Brother, that guy was really just a minor monster. I already smashed him to death. Why won’t you believe me?”
Feeling repeatedly disdained by Hua Yuting, the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable felt his pride wounded.
Hua Yuting responded impatiently, “Stop making excuses. I can already sense his escape route. Is there any point in denying it?”
“Brother, are you joking? This is the Raksha Sea. How can you sense anything here?” The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable found it unbelievable.
Hua Yuting said coldly, “What do you know? I’ve refined the souls of over a dozen demon kings from the Immortal-Demon Realm. My sensing ability is far beyond yours. Moreover, the aura on this master seems to be exactly what I’ve been searching for. Forget the Nüwa Stone—just that aura alone is something I must obtain.”
“Aura? What aura!?”
The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable sniffed vigorously but couldn’t detect anything.
“The legendary Soul-Devouring Power that can devour everything,” Hua Yuting transmitted mentally to the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable while pursuing Shui Miao. “Legend says the Soul-Devouring Power is a force discovered by the Ancient Sky-Patrolling Sage King in a cosmic black hole. This power is incredibly potent, capable of endlessly devouring others’ cultivation to strengthen itself. After cultivating the Soul-Devouring Power, the Sky-Patrolling Sage King ventured deep into the cosmos and never returned. However, I heard that before he left, he took on a disciple—a strange figure who wreaked havoc in the last great immortal war before suddenly self-destructing and dying.”
“So powerful!?”
The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable couldn’t help but feel tempted.
“Hmph!”
Hua Yuting snorted coldly. “If it weren’t so powerful, would I be in such a hurry? If you want to obtain the Soul-Devouring Power, focus all your energy on the pursuit. Once we catch him, everything else will be easy.”
“Haha! How about we compete to see who catches him first!”
A streak of starlight shot ahead as the Ascension Immortal Venerable appeared, holding a circular mirror shimmering with starlight.
“The Time-Tracking Mirror!”
Upon seeing the mirror, Hua Yuting’s heart stirred. This was the Illusory Treasure Time-Tracking Mirror, a secret treasure of the Ascension Gate. He hadn’t expected the Ascension Immortal Venerable to bring it. It could track and display events that happened dozens of minutes earlier. With it, they could see what had transpired here. Instead of feeling pleased, Hua Yuting felt increased pressure. It seemed the Ascension Immortal Venerable was determined to succeed this time. If he couldn’t obtain the Nüwa Stone, all the plans of the Jade Void Sect would come to nothing.
No! The Nüwa Stone and the Soul-Devouring Power must belong to me!
Hua Yuting secretly steeled himself. He forcibly stored the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable inside a treasure, channeled all his immortal power, and accelerated to catch up with the Ascension Immortal Venerable, determined to find the underworld artifact before him.
As Shui Miao fled, he also spread his divine sense to probe his surroundings.
Thanks to cultivating the Dream Demon Mind Technique, Shui Miao’s sensing range had become exceptionally vast. Sensing the three Immortal Venerables hot on his trail, he grew anxious. Considering that he had cultivated Yin-type immortal power, his endurance in the depths of the Raksha Sea should far surpass theirs. Thus, he quickly changed direction and desperately fled deeper into the sea.
As he fled, a sudden idea struck him—a last-ditch effort that might just work.
He recalled Luo Tong mentioning that he could channel the aura of the Nüwa Stone to repair and nourish underworld artifacts. Given his current predicament, there was no better time to try it.
Realizing the danger, Shui Miao quickly activated several Nether Artifacts to hide deep within, then, with a flick of his will, triggered the self-destruction of the two outermost ones.
“Boom!” “Boom!”
Coincidentally, Black Tiger Sage had just delivered his palm strike when the two Nether Artifacts exploded simultaneously.
The tremendous impact sent Black Tiger Sage flying, leaving him dazed as he plummeted straight into the blood-colored waters of the Asura Sea.
The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable naturally recognized underworld artifacts, but he had never seen the power of soul-devouring before, so he was very curious.
Shui Miao didn’t dare act recklessly and struggled to control the soul-devouring energy to prevent it from corroding the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable.
The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable examined the underworld artifact but couldn’t make sense of it. He decided to smash it open with his hand to see what was hidden inside. The gloves he wore were two supreme-grade immortal artifacts, and with a single strike, most underworld artifacts would be unable to withstand the force and would shatter on the spot.
Realizing the danger, Shui Miao immediately activated multiple underworld artifacts to conceal himself deep within and, with a flash of thought, caused the two outermost artifacts to self-destruct.
“Boom!” “Boom!”
Coincidentally, the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable struck at almost the same moment the two artifacts exploded.
The powerful impact sent the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable flying, leaving him dazed as he plummeted into the Raksha Sea.
However, the self-destruction couldn’t harm him, as he was protected by a supreme-grade immortal defensive treasure.
By the time the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable emerged from the water, he recalled that he was merely a fragment of a doppelganger. He swiftly summoned his other two doppelgangers to merge and bolster his strength. However, when he extended his divine sense to probe once more, Shui Miao had already concealed herself within an underworld artifact and fled deep into the Raksha Sea. The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable was left in a state of confusion, pondering what exactly he had struck. Had he managed to kill whatever was hidden within the artifact?
The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable was somewhat simple-minded and not very attentive. It never occurred to him that a master could be hiding inside an underworld artifact.
He believed that whoever could plunder the treasure vault of the Evil Dragon Clan and steal the Nüwa Stone must at least be an expert at the level of an Immortal Elder.
Moreover, how could a master’s treasure be so easily self-destructed?
Thus, the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable concluded that Shui Miao was nothing more than a minor monster from the Raksha Sea.
Shui Miao narrowly escaped from the careless Black Tiger Immortal Venerable.
However, he also lost his way.
The crimson waters of the Raksha Sea radiated an ominous aura, with no sun visible in the sky above. Shui Miao concealed himself within a fish-shaped underworld artifact, plunging deeper as he fled, driven solely by the urge to move forward, with no notion of his destination.
“Black Tiger, what are you doing? Hmm? What is this aura?”
From the Evil Dragon Island, Hua Yuting flew out. He had captured a severely injured Dragon Venerable.
“Nothing, just a little monster I smashed to death,” the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable said, his eyes shifting toward the Dragon Venerable.
“Wrong! This aura… this aura clearly belongs to a master. Where did he go? Tell me quickly. It’s possible that person is the one who stole the Nüwa Stone.” Hua Yuting was deeply cultivated and extremely meticulous. He detected the unique signature of the soul-devouring energy in the air. Moreover, he had probed the Dragon Venerable’s memories and knew that Luo Tong had stolen the Nüwa Stone. But he also knew that Luo Tong was currently in the Immortal Realm crafting artifacts and couldn’t possibly have come to steal the Nüwa Stone. Therefore, the thief must be someone else.
“What are you talking about! I struck him, and—bam!—he exploded, turned to dust!”
The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable blinked, certain that he had obliterated a minor demon. Frequently disdained by Hua Yuting, even if the one who had truly escaped was the mastermind behind the theft of the Nüwa Stone, he would never concede it… for he believed that preserving his dignity was paramount.
“This is clearly the aura of an underworld artifact self-destructing. I don’t have time to argue with you! Follow me in pursuit!”
Hua Yuting abandoned the severely injured Dragon Venerable and immediately dove into the depths of the Raksha Sea with the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable. His sense of smell seemed even sharper than a dog’s. Relying on a supreme-grade defensive treasure for protection, he followed the faint traces left behind by the underworld artifact and pursued Shui Miao.
“Big brother, that guy really was just a minor monster. I already smashed him to death. Why won’t you believe me?”
Feeling repeatedly looked down upon by Hua Yuting, the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable felt deeply humiliated.
Hua Yuting responded impatiently, “Enough nonsense. I can already sense his escape route. What’s the point of arguing?”
“Big brother, are you joking? This is the Raksha Sea. How can you sense anything here?” The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable found it unbelievable.
Hua Yuting said coldly, “What do you know? I once refined the souls of over a dozen demon kings from the Immortal-Demon Realm. How could my sensing ability be compared to yours? Moreover, the aura on this master seems to be exactly what I’ve been desperately searching for. Forget the Nüwa Stone—just that aura alone is something I must obtain.”
“Aura? What aura!?”
The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable sniffed vigorously but couldn’t detect anything.
“The legendary soul-devouring energy that can devour everything,” Hua Yuting transmitted mentally to the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable while pursuing Shui Miao. “Legend says the soul-devouring energy is a power discovered by the Ancient Sky Patrol Sage King in a cosmic black hole. This power is incredibly powerful, capable of endlessly devouring others’ cultivation for one’s own use. After cultivating the soul-devouring energy, the Sky Patrol Sage King journeyed into the depths of the universe and never returned. However, I heard that before leaving, he took on a disciple—a strange figure who wreaked havoc in the last great immortal war before suddenly self-destructing and dying.”
“That powerful!?”
The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable couldn’t help but feel tempted.
“Hmph!”
Hua Yuting snorted coldly. “If it weren’t powerful, would I be so anxious? If you want to obtain the soul-devouring energy, give it your all and help me chase him. Once we catch him, everything else will be easy.”
“Haha! How about we compete to see who can catch him first!”
A streak of starlight flew ahead, and the Ascension Immortal Venerable appeared, holding a starry circular mirror.
“It’s the Time Tracking Mirror!”
Upon seeing the mirror, Hua Yuting’s heart stirred. This was the Illusory Treasure Time Tracking Mirror, a secret treasure of the Ascension Gate. He hadn’t expected the Ascension Immortal Venerable to bring it along. It could track and display events that happened dozens of minutes ago. With it, they could see what had occurred here earlier. Instead of feeling happy, Hua Yuting felt even more pressured. It seemed the Ascension Immortal Venerable was determined to succeed this time. If he couldn’t obtain the Nüwa Stone, all the plans of the Jade Void Sect would come to nothing.
No! The Nüwa Stone and the soul-devouring energy must belong to me!
Hua Yuting secretly hardened his resolve. He immediately forced the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable into a treasure, channeled all his immortal power, and accelerated to catch up with the Ascension Immortal Venerable, determined to find the underworld artifact before him.
Shui Miao fled while spreading his divine sense to probe.
Thanks to cultivating the Dream Demon Heart Technique, Shui Miao’s sensing range had become exceptionally vast. Sensing the three Immortal Venerables closely pursuing him, he grew anxious. Considering that he had cultivated Yin-type immortal power, his endurance in the depths of the Raksha Sea should be far greater than theirs. Thus, he quickly changed direction and desperately fled deeper into the sea.
As he fled, Shui Miao suddenly had a clever idea—a last-minute solution.
He remembered Luo Tong saying that the aura of the Nüwa Stone could be harnessed to repair and nourish underworld artifacts. Given his current situation, what better time to try it than now?
When Black Tiger Sage flew back into the sky from the water, he suddenly remembered that this was only a fragment of his spiritual clone. He immediately summoned his other two clones to merge, enhancing his power. When he spread his divine senses again, Shui Miao had already hidden deep within the Nether Artifact and fled into the Asura Sea. Black Tiger Sage was left confused—had he actually hit anything? Had he managed to kill whatever was hiding inside the Nether Artifact?
Black Tiger Sage was somewhat naive and not very meticulous. He never suspected that a powerful expert could be hiding inside the Nether Artifact.
He believed that whoever had the audacity to raid the Dragon Clan’s treasure vault and steal the Nuwa Stone must be at least at the level of an Immortal Elder.
Besides, how could a powerful expert’s treasure easily self-destruct?
Therefore, Black Tiger Sage was convinced that Shui Miao was just a minor creature from the Asura Sea.
Shui Miao narrowly escaped from the careless Black Tiger Sage.
However, he was now hopelessly lost.
The blood-red waters of the Asura Sea were filled with sinister and malevolent energy, and the sky above the sea was perpetually sunless. Shui Miao hid inside a fish-shaped Nether Artifact, fleeing and diving deeper, rushing forward without knowing where he was heading.
“What are you doing, Black Tiger? Hmm? This aura…”
From the Dragon Island, Hua Yuting flew out. He had captured a severely injured Dragon Sovereign.
“Nothing much. Just a little monster I smacked and killed,” Black Tiger Sage replied, his eyes glancing toward the Dragon Sovereign.
“No! This aura… this aura clearly belongs to a powerful expert. Where did he go? Tell me quickly—this person might be the one who stole the Nuwa Stone!” Hua Yuting possessed profound cultivation and was extremely meticulous. He had sensed the faint trace of the Soul Devouring Force in the air. Moreover, he had examined the Dragon Sovereign’s memories and learned that Luo Tong had stolen the Nuwa Stone. However, he also knew that Luo Tong was currently forging a treasure in the Immortal Realm and couldn’t possibly have come here to steal the Nuwa Stone. Therefore, the real thief must be someone else.
“What are you talking about! I smacked him once—*paf*—then he exploded and turned to ashes!”
Black Tiger Sage blinked his eyes, firmly believing he had killed only a minor demon. He was always looked down upon by Hua Yuting. Even if the person who had escaped was indeed the one who stole the Nuwa Stone, he would stubbornly deny it—because to him, pride was everything.
“This is clearly the aura of a Nether Artifact’s self-destruction. I don’t have time to argue with you! Come with me and chase him!”
The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable naturally recognized underworld artifacts, but he had never seen the power of soul-devouring before, so he was very curious.
Shui Miao didn’t dare act recklessly and struggled to control the soul-devouring energy to prevent it from corroding the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable.
The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable examined the underworld artifact but couldn’t discern anything unusual. He decided to smash it open with his hand to see what was hidden inside. The gloves he wore were two supreme-grade immortal artifacts, and with a single strike, most underworld artifacts would be unable to withstand the force and would shatter on the spot.

The powerful shockwave sent the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable flying, leaving him dazed as he plummeted into the waters of the Raksha Sea.
However, the self-destruction couldn’t harm him, as he was protected by a supreme-grade immortal defensive treasure.
By the time the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable soared back out of the water, he suddenly recalled that he was merely a fragment of a doppelganger. Swiftly, he summoned his other two doppelgangers to merge into one, amplifying his power. As he extended his divine sense to probe once more, Shui Miao had already concealed herself within an underworld artifact and fled deep into the Raksha Sea. The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable was completely baffled—what exactly had he struck? Had he destroyed whatever was hidden within the artifact?
The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable was somewhat simple-minded and not very meticulous. It never occurred to him that a master might be hiding inside the underworld artifact.
He believed that anyone capable of raiding the Evil Dragon Clan’s treasure vault and stealing the Nuwa Stone must at least be an expert at the level of an Immortal Elder.
Moreover, how could a master’s treasure be so easily self-destructed?
Thus, the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable concluded that Shui Miao was nothing more than a minor monster of the Raksha Sea.
Shui Miao narrowly escaped from the careless Black Tiger Immortal Venerable.
But he was also lost.
The crimson waters of the Raksha Sea brimmed with a malevolent aura, and the sky above was devoid of sunlight. Shui Miao concealed himself within a fish-shaped underworld artifact, plunging deeper as he fled, his focus solely on moving forward, with no notion of his destination.
“Black Tiger, what are you doing? Hmm? What is this aura?”
From Evil Dragon Island, Hua Yuting flew out. He had captured a severely injured Dragon Venerable.

The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable blinked, certain he had obliterated a minor demon. Frequently belittled by Hua Yuting, even if the one who had truly escaped was the master who had stolen the Nuwa Stone, he would never confess it… because he believed that preserving his dignity was of utmost importance.
“This is clearly the aura of an underworld artifact self-destructing. I don’t have time to argue with you! Come with me to pursue him!”
Hua Yuting abandoned the severely injured Dragon Venerable and immediately dove into the depths of the Raksha Sea with the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable. His sense of smell seemed even sharper than a dog’s. Relying on a supreme-grade defensive treasure for protection, he followed the faint traces left behind by the underworld artifact and chased after Shui Miao.
“Big brother, that guy really was just a minor monster. I already smashed him to death. Why won’t you believe me?”
Feeling repeatedly disdained by Hua Yuting, the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable felt deeply humiliated.
Hua Yuting responded impatiently, “Enough nonsense. I can already sense his escape route. What’s the point of still arguing?”
“Big brother, are you joking? This is the Raksha Sea. How are you sensing anything?” The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable found it unbelievable.
Hua Yuting said coldly, “What do you know? I once refined the souls of over a dozen demon kings from the Immortal-Demon Realm. How could my sensing ability be compared to yours? Moreover, the aura on this expert seems to be exactly what I’ve been desperately searching for. Forget the Nuwa Stone—just that aura on him is something I must obtain at all costs.”
“Aura? What aura!?”
The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable sniffed vigorously but couldn’t detect any aura.
“The legendary soul-devouring power that can devour everything,” Hua Yuting transmitted mentally to the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable while pursuing Shui Miao. “Legend says the soul-devouring power is a force discovered by the ancient Sky-Patrolling Sage King in a cosmic black hole. This power is extremely potent, capable of endlessly devouring others’ cultivation to strengthen itself. After cultivating the soul-devouring power, the Sky-Patrolling Sage King ventured deep into the cosmos and never returned. However, I heard that before leaving, he took on a disciple—a strange figure who wreaked havoc in the last great immortal war before suddenly self-destructing and dying.”
“So powerful!?”
The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable couldn’t help but feel tempted.
“Hmph!”
Hua Yuting snorted coldly. “If it weren’t powerful, would I be so anxious? If you want to obtain the soul-devouring power, give it your all and chase with full focus. As long as we capture him, everything else will be easy.”
“Haha! How about we compete to see who can catch him first!”
A streak of starlight shot ahead as the Ascension Immortal Venerable appeared, holding a starry circular mirror.
“It’s the Time-Tracking Mirror!”
Upon seeing the mirror, Hua Yuting’s heart stirred. This was the Illusory Treasure Time-Tracking Mirror, a secret treasure of the Ascension Gate. He hadn’t anticipated that the Ascension Immortal Venerable would bring it. The mirror had the power to track and display events that had occurred dozens of minutes earlier. With it, they could uncover what had transpired here just moments ago. Instead of feeling joy, Hua Yuting felt an even greater weight of pressure. It seemed the Ascension Immortal Venerable was resolute in achieving success this time. If he failed to obtain the Nuwa Stone, all the meticulously laid plans of the Jade Void Sect would crumble into nothingness.
No! The Nuwa Stone and the soul-devouring power must belong to me!
Hua Yuting secretly hardened his heart. He immediately forced the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable into a treasure, channeled all his immortal power, and accelerated to catch up with the Ascension Immortal Venerable, determined to find the underworld artifact before him.
Shui Miao fled while also spreading his divine sense to probe.
Thanks to cultivating the Dream Demon Heart Technique, Shui Miao’s sensing range had become exceptionally vast. Sensing the three Immortal Venerables closely pursuing him, he grew anxious. Considering that he had cultivated Yin-based immortal power, his endurance in the depths of the Raksha Sea should be far greater than theirs. Thus, Shui Miao quickly changed direction and desperately fled deeper into the Raksha Sea.
As he fled, a sudden idea struck him—a last-minute desperate measure.
He remembered Luo Tong saying that he could channel the aura of the Nuwa Stone to repair and nourish underworld artifacts. Given his current situation, what better time to try it than now?
“Brother, that guy was really just a little monster. I already smacked him to death. Why won’t you believe me?”
Feeling humiliated by Hua Yuting’s constant belittlement, Black Tiger Sage felt deeply embarrassed.
Hua Yuting replied coldly, “No more nonsense. I’ve already sensed his escape route. Do you think arguing with me is useful?”
“Brother, you can’t be serious! This is the Asura Sea. What are you going to sense here?” Black Tiger Sage found it hard to believe.
Hua Yuting replied coldly, “What do you know? I once refined the souls of over a dozen Demon Kings from the Immortal-Demon Realm. My sensing ability far surpasses yours. Moreover, the aura from this expert is exactly the kind I’ve been desperately searching for. Forget the Nuwa Stone—just this aura alone is something I must obtain at all costs.”
“Aura? What aura!?”
Black Tiger Sage sniffed hard but sensed nothing.
“The legendary Soul Devouring Force,” Hua Yuting transmitted mentally to Black Tiger Sage while chasing Shui Miao. “It’s said that this power was discovered by the ancient Celestial Warden King inside a cosmic black hole. This force is extremely powerful—it can endlessly devour others’ cultivation and transform it into one’s own. After the Celestial Warden King mastered the Soul Devouring Force, he ventured deep into the universe and was never seen again. However, I heard that before leaving, the Celestial Warden King took a disciple, who was apparently the strange figure who wreaked havoc during the last Immortal War and then suddenly self-destructed.”
“So powerful!?”
Black Tiger Sage couldn’t help but feel intrigued.
“Hmph!”
Hua Yuting snorted coldly. “If it weren’t powerful, why would I be in such a hurry? If you want to obtain the Soul Devouring Force, then focus all your attention and chase him down. Once we capture him, everything else will be easy.”
“Haha! How about we race? Let’s see who catches him first!”
A streak of starlight shot forward, and Feathered Sage appeared. In his hand was a circular mirror glowing with starlight.
“It’s the Time-Tracking Mirror!”
Seeing the mirror, Hua Yuting’s heart stirred. This was the Mirage Treasure Time-Tracking Mirror, a secret treasure of the Feathered Sect. He hadn’t expected Feathered Sage to bring it. This mirror could display events that had occurred up to several minutes ago. With it, they could see what had happened here in the past few minutes. However, instead of feeling relieved, Hua Yuting felt even more pressure. It seemed Feathered Sage was determined to succeed. If Hua Yuting failed to obtain the Nuwa Stone, all of Jade Void Sect’s plans would be ruined.
No! The Nuwa Stone and the Soul Devouring Force must belong to me!
Hua Yuting secretly gritted his teeth, immediately sealing Black Tiger Sage inside an artifact. He then poured all his Immortal energy into accelerating, chasing after Feathered Sage with all his might, determined to find the Nether Artifact before him.
Meanwhile, Shui Miao kept fleeing while spreading his divine senses.
Thanks to his cultivation of the Dream Demon Heart Technique, Shui Miao’s sensing range had expanded greatly. He sensed the three Sages chasing closely behind and grew increasingly anxious. Considering that he had cultivated Yin-type Immortal Energy, which made him far more resistant to the oppressive power of the Asura Sea’s depths than the three Sages, Shui Miao quickly changed direction and sped toward the deepest part of the Asura Sea.
While fleeing, a sudden idea struck him.
He remembered what Luo Tong had said—that the Nuwa Stone’s aura could be used to repair and nourish Nether Artifacts. In his current situation, if he didn’t try this now, when would he?
He had no time to hesitate.
