Chapter 731: 731

“Now, there’s only the male body of Fiend Ancestor Black Lotus . ” Nüwa looked into the distance and saw Gautama and Amita dealing with Fiend Ancestor’s male body .

“Oh?”

Nüwa’s expression suddenly changed . “No good!”

She could sense from afar the auras of Gautama, Amita, and Fiend Ancestor’s male body, but suddenly, another Fiend Ancestor aura appeared within the male body’s aura, one far stronger .

“Two Fiend Ancestor auras? The Fiend Ancestor has a fourth avatar?” Nüwa turned anxious as she immediately tore through space-time to rush over .

However, back when Fiend Ancestor fled, the three avatars had fled in three different directions . It made the three battlegrounds rather distant from each other .

Although Nüwa and the Three Pure Ones had sensed the changes and immediately rushed over, it was obvious it would take them several seconds to arrive .

With the strength of Heavenly Dao existences, several seconds was just too long .

******

Heavenly realm, Mt . Lightning Roar .

Ever since his master and the rest left to pursue Fiend Ancestor, Qin Yun was waiting for the results . Regardless if the pursuit succeeded or failed, his master and the rest would inform the Three Realms .

After all, if Fiend Ancestor remained alive, Qin Yun had to be especially careful when he entered the Chaos .

“Oh?” Qin Yun, who was sitting cross-legged on a grass patch, sensed something and looked up .

A will descended from afar and stopped above Mt . Lightning Roar . It condensed to form a black-robed, black-haired elder’s phantom, and it was none other than Numinous Treasure Dao Ancestor’s embodiment .

Qin Yun immediately got up . “Master . “

“An accident happened during our pursuit of Fiend Ancestor Black Lotus . ” Numinous Treasure wore a heavy expression .

“Accident?” Qin Yun was alarmed .

“Black Lotus’s three avatars fled in the three different directions,” said Numinous Treasure . “Us Daoist Three Pure Ones joined forces to destroy his strongest destruction body and Nüwa killed his female body . Gautama and Amita joined forces for the male body! But little did we expect that… at a critical point, a fourth avatar would fly out of the male body . The fourth avatar was extremely powerful, nearly matching the destruction body in strength . It was even more adept when it came to fleeing .

“The two avatars did not have any wish to fend his enemies off; all he wanted was to flee! Gautama and Amita failed to stop him completely . They spared no expense to kill the Fiend Ancestor’s male body, but the fourth avatar managed to flee . “

Qin Yun could not help but ask, “How does Fiend Ancestor have a fourth avatar?”

“According to our guesses,” Numinous Treasure said, “Black Lotus had obtained a Lotus Seed of Fate from Zhurong . His real body… was originally a black lotus born out of a Lotus Seed of Fate! As long as he wishes, he can use a Lotus Seed of Fate to produce another body . Back then, Black Lotus had split his real body into three—the female body, the male body, and the destruction body . And this new body he produced with the Lotus Seed of Fate is the best at escaping . It tore through space-time so extremely quickly that even Amita who had just broken through couldn’t catch up . Among us, only Elderly Lord’s speed could barely keep up . “

“Did he manage to catch up?” asked Qin Yun .

“His body must have specially prepared to become a form meant for fleeing . It’s good at hiding his aura and tearing through the void . Furthermore, it can scatter his aura to confuse us,” said Numinous Treasure . “As long as the distance is even a little far, we will not be able to sense his aura . Thankfully, Gautama spared no expenses to heavily injure him, sending his powers through the entire body . It will probably take him several years to completely dispel Gautama’s powers .

“During this period, we will be able to sense his location .

“However, he has already fled extremely far and his fleeing abilities are truly impressive . Gautama, Amita, and us met up together and are in pursuit,” said Numinous Treasure . “If he is caught before he finishes dispelling Gautama’s powers, he’s doomed . But if he were to dispel Gautama’s powers first, he would truly succeed in fleeing . “

Qin Yun nodded slightly .

Using a Lotus Seed of Fate to specially produce an avatar meant for escaping?

The Fiend Ancestor had truly thought of every means possible in order to survive .

“Don’t worry . We all have avatars left outside the Three Realms,” said Numinous Treasure . “He wouldn’t dare return . If he were to dare come close to the Three Realms, he would be falling into a trap . “

“Master, you must be careful when pursuing Fiend Ancestor’s fourth avatar . To survive, he will likely bore into perilous lands in the Chaos,” said Qin Yun .

“Haha… The few of us have a lot more combat experience than you do . ” Numinous Treasure laughed . “Alright, if there’s anything in the future, you can find me in the Three Pure Hall in the Chaos . “

With that said, the embodiment Numinous Treasure sent down dissipated .

It wasn’t only him; in fact, Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning, Grand Supreme Dao Ancestor, Gautama, and company all sent news back to the Three Realms .

Days passed one after another .

The Three Realms continued changing and nearly every cultivator sensed the changes .

“The decline of the Heavenly realm’s Heaven and Earth spiritual energies can be considered slow, but the decline of the Heaven and Earth spiritual energies in the Small Worlds is still going quickly . ” Qin Yun stood in the vast cosmos and looked down into a Small World . “But compared to the cosmos, it’s completely not worth mentioning . The speed of decline of the Heaven and Earth spiritual energies in the cosmos is more than a hundred times faster . Today, the Heaven and Earth spiritual energies in the cosmos has nearly all vanished . It has completely turned into a barren cultivation land .

“As such, it will be impossible if Skyimmortals wish to travel through the cosmos . “

The cosmos were vast .

Traveling was extremely troublesome, requiring the use of either Major Void Transference or the help of sacred lands like Green Touring Palace . To travel through the void based on one’s strength? It would only take more time .

In the past, it was still possible to travel slowly, but from this day forth, with the cosmos not providing any Heaven and Earth spiritual energies for replenishment, those that dared to stay in the cosmos for too long would drain their Dharmic powers and end up starving to death!

“The changes in the Three Realms are very complete . There’s not one wisp of Heaven and Earth spiritual energies in the cosmos,” thought Qin Yun . “But this way, the burden the Three Realms has is indeed a lot lighter . “

Qin Yun traveled the Three Realms and observed the changes everywhere .

The changes to the Heaven and Earth spiritual energies were a holistic impact . The flora and fauna, and even humans… had to adapt to the new environment .

“Oh?”

Qin Yun frowned slightly in the cosmos . He sensed the restrictions of the Three Realms as he thought, “Master had made a correct prediction . On the sixth day since they left the Three Realms, the limit to which the Three Realms can withstand is a perfected Golden Immortal . If one wants to reach the Heavenly Dao realm… one has to leave the Three Realms and do the breakthrough in the Chaos . From then on, a Heavenly Dao realm existence will no longer be able to enter the Three Realms with their true bodies .

In the past, Heavenly Dao realm existences were unable to enter Great Worlds with their true bodies .

Now, it was extended to the entire Three Realms . Clearly, the Three Realms had lowered the limits to which it could bear .

The lesser the burden, the more stable the Three Realms became .

In the past, it only grew weaker while barely maintaining the status quo .

…

“Hahaha, the Three Realms has changed! This world is now one that those old Heavenly Dao realm fogies can no longer enter . ” In a Great World, there was a fat creature covered in scales with a hundred short legs . However, its head had a gaping mouth . At that moment, in changed amid laughter into a young armor-wearing strongman . He looked up into the sky . “Nüwa, Three Pure Ones, all of them were just too ruthless . All I did was eat a little bit more, and they claim that I’m a sinful and deserve death . They were too powerful with lots of treasures . Like Primordial Unity, Gouchen, Houtu, Kong Xuan, Polestar, all of them perfected Great Dao realm existences stood on their side . I couldn’t offend them and could only bear with it .

“Haha, but now that they have left, what’s there to be afraid without those old fogies?

“The Three Realms is ultimately the oyster of us Chaos Godfiends . ” The young strongman laughed without inhibitions .

…

“The Three Realms has completely changed . “

A massive coiled giant opened its eyes once again, causing the day to be ushered into the Great World .

“Hmph, Without those Heavenly Dao realm existences, those Daoist and Buddhist juniors still wish to continue flaunting their prowess? The Heavenly Courts still wishes to be leader of the Three Realms? What a joke!” Torch Dragon’s massive body changed into a cold-looking, purple-robed man . “The rules of the Three Realms shall change too . “

…

Back when Nüwa, the Three Pure Ones, and Gautama shocked and awed the Three Realms, they decided on the order of the Three Realms and established the Heavenly Courts to rule over the Three Realms . All these ancient existences could only bow their heads and hide in Great Worlds because they could do nothing .

And with Heavenly Dao realm existences unable to enter Great Worlds, to send Kong Xuan, Emperor Polestar, Goddess Houtu, Heavenly Lord of Primordial Unity, Amita, Lantern, Myriad Treasure, or Guangchengzi equipped with treasures to pursue them wasn’t realistic . After all, the perfected Great Dao experts had backers and were lords of Great Worlds . They stood on equal grounds with the Heavenly Dao realm existences, so who would be willing to do things that risked their lives?

These ancient existences also didn’t dare to be too provocative . If they angered the Three Pure Ones and Nüwa, the outcome was something they could not bear to afford .

Now, with them being forced to leave, the ancient existences that had been tolerating all this while naturally felt carefree . Some even wanted to seek revenge after holding it in for so long .

“Now, we shall be the ones setting the rules of the Three Realms . ” These ancient existences began stirring .
