Chapter 877: Kunpeng’s Pursuit

In a distant star region far from the Feiyu Realm, Han Feiyu gazed out of the ship’s cabin with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Ever since he realized how far they were from the Feiyu Realm—over 200 years of travel to return to the sect—a nagging sense of danger had settled in his heart.

“Everyone on board is from the same sect, and we have an elder leading us,” he thought.

“If a crisis strikes, there’s no escaping it. We’re all in this together.”

Han Feiyu pulled out a specialized space ring and began organizing the talismans, one-time magical artifacts, and powerful Thunder Pearls he had exchanged from the Tree of All Things. Each item was capable of harming even a true immortal. He carefully arranged them in the space ring, mentally preparing for the types of enemies they might face and which tools would be most effective.

In his hand, he held a palm-sized Spirit Awakening Pearl, also obtained from the Tree of All Things.

This pearl could summon a spirit beast with the fighting strength of an invincible respected elder. Han Feiyu had a thousand more of these pearls stored in his space of celestial tool.

“If danger truly comes, I’ll have to use these. Saving my sect brothers, sisters, and the elder is more important than hiding these treasures,” Han Feiyu thought, his resolve hardening.

The sense of crisis he felt wasn’t baseless; he knew it wouldn’t be long before it became reality.

Jian Wujie walked over and sat down beside Han Feiyu, pouring himself a cup of tea.

Noticing the Spirit Awakening Pearl in Han Feiyu’s hand, he chuckled.

“Brother, you’re sensing danger again, aren’t you?” Jian Wujie teased.

He was well aware of Han Feiyu’s habit. Whenever danger loomed, Han Feiyu would always have some powerful talisman or spiritual treasure in hand, as if holding them could ward off any threat.

“The feeling’s getting stronger. I’ve already warned the elder and the others,” Han Feiyu replied, still fiddling with the Spirit Awakening Pearl.

“Really?” Jian Wujie’s playful expression turned serious.

At that moment, the Universe Ship jolted violently, abruptly changing course and teleporting to another region.

Just before the teleportation, a massive abyss-like maw had surrounded the ship, ready to devour it whole.

The Universe Ship narrowly escaped, teleporting away just in time.

“What was that?!”

Everyone who had seen the abyss was left in shock and terror.

Then, they saw the true form of the beast.

“It’s a Kunpeng!”

All eyes turned to the colossal creature trailing behind the Universe Ship.

In the Northern Sea, there was a fish known as Kun.

Its wings spanned ten thousand miles, making the Universe Ship seem smaller than its eye.

The ship looked like a tiny clownfish next to a massive whale.

“Grape, maximum acceleration, now!!” Xu Yuexian shouted, her voice urgent.

The Universe Ship shuddered again, speeding away at an incredible pace to escape the Kunpeng’s pursuit.

Han Feiyu glanced at the enormous Kunpeng, then down at the Spirit Awakening Pearl in his hand. He put it away and pulled out a Seven-Color Flower instead.

“May this Universe Ship escape the jaws of the Kunpeng,” Han Feiyu whispered, holding the Seven-Color Flower tightly.

A strange energy emerged from the Seven-Color Flower, and then the entire flower transformed into colorful spiritual light, vanishing before Han Feiyu.

The Universe Ship accelerated to an extreme speed in front of the Kunpeng, while the massive Kunpeng trailed behind at a calm pace, like a brutal predator toying with its prey.

As the Universe Ship accelerated, the Kunpeng also quickened its pace, gradually drawing closer.

When the Universe Ship made a space jump, the Kunpeng followed suit.

Feeling this situation, Xu Yuexian’s expression grew serious.

“Grape, use whatever you have; don’t wait until the last moment.”

“I know; you have an emergency plan,” Xu Yuexian quickly responded.

The Kunpeng was getting closer to the Universe Ship, and everyone could clearly feel the terrifying aura radiating from the creature.

The overwhelming presence that could swallow everything in the world struck fear into the little practitioners, none of whom were even Quasi-Immortal yet.

“Begin preparations to take over control of the Universe Ship; please authorize,” Grape’s voice sounded.

“Go ahead,” Xu Yuexian said rapidly.

Grape instantly took over from the frightened Quasi-Immortal and began to control the Universe Ship.

Two massive cannon barrels extended from the sides of the Universe Ship, launching two shells imbued with space talismans directly ahead.

“Boom~”

One shell exploded with the force of the space talisman, shattering the space in front of them across the star region.

Finally, the Universe Ship plunged into the area of shattered space and instantly disappeared with a space jump.

The Kunpeng followed the space jump as well, but as it jumped, a shell with a space talisman hidden in the area of shattered space detonated.

This directly interfered with the Kunpeng’s spatial perception, sending it to another region.

After the space jump, the Kunpeng found no trace of the Universe Ship and let out an enraged roar.

The sound of that furious roar echoed for billions of kilometers across the star region.

Now, the Universe Ship arrived in a new star region.

“Grape, where are we now?” Xu Yuexian asked, letting out a sigh of relief; no matter what, their lives were saved.

After receiving a message from Han Feiyu, she began to prepare, but the sudden appearance of the Kunpeng left her feeling uncertain.

This caused the Holy Sun and Moon’s Shadow power missiles, which were already prepared for launch, to remain unlaunched.

A mortal with a long spear will not fear a mad dog.

But if faced with a giant tiger with glaring eyes, one could only clutch the spear and pray the tiger does not notice them.

“Calculating, it will take about one day,” Grape’s voice came through.

Xu Yuexian nodded and left the control room to gather all the crew members from the ship.

There were four inner sect disciples accompanying her, 1,000 outer disciples, and 10,000 from the demon division, most of whom were regular crew members on the Universe Ship.

In a spacious small world within the Universe Ship, Xu Yuexian explained the current situation to everyone.

She reassured them with some rewards promised by the sect to stabilize their minds.

Only after confirming that everyone and the beast race had a steady mindset did she allow them to leave.

At that moment, Grape’s voice sounded again.

“Detected a little middle thousand world; should we approach and investigate?” Grape suddenly asked.

“Little middle thousand world, send a team of puppets to check it out,” Xu Yuexian thought for a moment and replied.

“Understood.”

A Large Spiritual Boat led by a Great Ascension stage puppet departed the Universe Ship, flying towards the direction of the detected little Thousand Heaven World.

At this moment, Xu Yuexian suddenly felt a familiar and warm aura coming from that little middle thousand world.

“Grape, steer the Universe Ship towards that little middle thousand world,” Xu Yuexian instructed.

“Understood~”

The Universe Ship changed direction and began flying towards the little middle thousand world at a normal speed.

A day later, the location information reported by Grape made Xu Yuexian smile helplessly.

“280 years is 280 years; as long as we can return before ascending in the sect, that’s all that matters.”
