Chapter 156: The Pursuit of the Chao Family
"Ahhhh! You must die!!"
As Chao Zizhong arrived at the Illusion Array, he nearly spat blood.
The destruction was too thorough.
Everything in the Illusion Array had been nearly erased, leaving nothing behind; how barbaric!
"I will slice you into a thousand pieces, and your bloodline will forever descend into hell!"
Chao Zizhong roared, raising both hands. A yellowish glow enveloped the area.
Everything began to restore.
Footprints, shadows, actions…
Though very blurry and not a complete replica, Chao Zizhong found it easy to discover some things with this.
"Run… I will see how you escape… killing Chao Zichong and stealing the longevity pill; I will make you pay!"
Chao Zizhong chased directly after.
Outside Baishi Town, the terrain was countless and varied.
Forests, mountains, plains; these were all vast areas yet to be developed, making the search difficult.
As the head of the Chao family, Chao Zizhong could learn almost all knowledge within the clan and naturally mastered the art of tracking.
However, it was not Spirit Law, but Earth Element Spiritual Law, which was a supportive technique of the clan’s "Thick Earth Revealing True Walking Law."
In fact, the term "Walking Law" is just an abbreviation; the correct term should be Earth Element Spiritual Law.
Basic Spiritual Law and technique-level Spiritual Law do not really count as "Laws"; they should be called basic spirit energy application and spiritual techniques.
Only those at the level of Law are qualified to be called Spiritual Law.
Higher scriptures and classics do not refer to them as scripture-level Spiritual Laws but as Law Scriptures, True Scriptures, or even Immortal Scriptures.
This depends on the specific tier.
The Thick Earth Revealing True Walking Law mastered by the Chao family is its core, thus they developed a wealth of supportive spiritual techniques.
Tracking is just one of them.
Chao Zizhong possessed strength far beyond that of Chao Zichong, and with countless hidden cards, he was confident he could resolve the trouble directly.
Even if he couldn’t, he could call upon the ancestors. This short distance of a few hundred kilometers would be nothing for those in the law realms who could fly or burrow underground.
However, he would face a great deal of pressure then.
If the opponent consumed the longevity pill and had not digested it, that was manageable; they could refine it into a human pill and forcibly extract it. Although some medicinal properties would be lost, the body in the spiritual realm would be sufficient to compensate.
But if fully digested, the Chao family would likely face major turmoil. He could not allow himself to be harmed; he had to tap into the family’s bloodline to forcibly refine the longevity pill. Otherwise, the ancestor, nearing the end of their lifespan, would undoubtedly go mad!
There was a path to immortality, and he would seek it even in madness!
"They’re still fleeing? And not toward the towns, but deeper into the dangerous demon territory?"
"Useless! It doesn’t matter where you run today!"
Chao Zizhong was fierce, disregarding everything as he followed into the demon territory.
Under the protection of the Dao Tool in Baishi Town, the weaker demons in the altered area became significant threats. The further one moved away from Baishi Town, the higher the probability of encountering terrifying-level demons.
Forget the Great Disaster; even a time of chaos might emerge!
The demon that kept approaching Baishi Town could definitely be confirmed as a chaos-level demon!
"Closer, right in front!"
After crossing hundreds of miles, Chao Zizhong finally caught up with the traces, the dust projection becoming increasingly clear.
He could even see its original appearance; aside from the color, it was almost perfect!
"Where are they? Gone?"
Chao Zizhong swept his Spirit Sense across the area, launching a vast search, but for a moment, he found no one.
He was certain the escapee was nearby; the projected traces ended right here, but why was there no one?
Suddenly—
Chao Zizhong turned, his brow furrowing as he looked behind several large trees.
With his Spirit Sense, the trees could not block his perception.
However, what appeared there puzzled him—
Nothing?
A void?
This feeling was hard to describe. Normally, when he used his Spirit Sense to investigate, various pieces of information would surface in his mind, ultimately forming images and various perceptions, even scents could be detected through Spirit Sense.
But just now, he sensed spirit energy leaking out of nowhere, yet when scanning for the source, it felt like a mud cow entering the sea—there was not a trace of response, and this sensation was too peculiar, causing him to become alert.
A layer of armor manifested around his body, completely different from the Black Armor; this was a higher-level item, a Dao Tool rather than a Spiritual Tool, a treasured inheritance of the Chao family, incredibly powerful.
In the next moment, Chao Zizhong "saw" the form of a person—first a hand, then a leg.
Then half of a body.
This was terrifying because from his perspective, the person was completely disassembled, gradually being reformed, as if someone was materializing out of thin air!
So strange…
"Wait! This is a Secret Realm gate; someone is crossing through the Secret Realm!"
Chao Zizhong finally reacted, immediately waving his right hand. The ground turned, and a colossal Earth Dragon leaped up, revealing everything in front of him, thus there was no way to obstruct his view.
Everything became clear: a young man crossed over the rippling Moon Disk and looked at him, revealing a smile that sent chills down his spine.
Clearly, it was too late to stop now!
But how could Chao Zizhong care about that at this moment?
He stared intently at the Moon Disk behind Yun Ye that was closing; it was real… this was an authentic Secret Realm!
How ecstatic was Chao Zizhong at this moment?
What was a Secret Realm?
It was an independent space created by ancient sages and powerful beings, possessing complex and independent rules that could sustain itself!
From the Crescent Moon Secret Realm, one could see how effective a controlled Secret Realm could be!
Baishi Town?
Ji family?
Ha!
"Hand over the treasures of the Secret Realm, and I will end your life without pain… otherwise, you will know what it means to be unable to survive nor die!!!"
Chao Zizhong roared, with a heavy earth-yellow glow radiating from his entire body, the patterns on his forehead instantly blossoming and covering his forehead, spreading toward his neck, forming an incredibly mystical design.
The method to elevate Spiritual Roots!
Although Chao Zizhong yelled out loud, for someone like him, the act of seeking was the most familiar!
The Earth Dragon split open under the power of the elevated Spiritual Roots, revealing a form that resembled a true dragon within.
"Thick Earth Revealing True Walking Law: Revealing True Dragon!"
"Suppress!"
This Earth Dragon was of a dark yellow color, with black patterns interwoven with the earth-yellow base, its whole body radiating light, taking on a fully energy-based form, almost giving up all physical attacks!
When it soared, Yun Ye felt as if he could hardly move, crushed by a mountain.
Yet Yun Ye was used to facing stronger foes; the red and blue marks revived, and his power surged in response.
"Flow with the current!"
The suppressing force was pushed away, flowing like water from Yun Ye’s sides.
"Only Heart Fire!"
Regaining movement, he infused power into the eight formation flags in his hands, which shot out and embedded themselves in the earth and sky.
"Extreme Cold Great Formation!"
"Rise!"
"Combination Spiritual Law: All Things Silent!"
The extreme cold jade disc was summoned and spun in front of Yun Ye, the power of All Things Silent released first, countering the Earth Dragon.
"Boom!"
All Things Silent began to crack rapidly, the black-and-white world being shattered, and the frozen area turned into a vacuum as a large volume of air rushed in, making it difficult to see for a moment.
