I Am Loaded With Passive Skills

Chapter 4397: Chapter 2037: Seizing Time (Part 3)

"Dare not."

Dao Qiongcang was noncommittal.

He captured Bei Huai, but had no intention of confronting Saint Xin.

At this moment, he wished to disappear into the crowd, nurturing Bei Huai into the strongest Divine Puppet, hoping to gain more leverage before the battle between Xu Xiaoshou and Saint Xin concluded.

Saint Xin’s tone turned severe: "In that case, this ancestor gives you a chance. Whether this Apricot Realm perishes or survives, whether these Cultivators live or die, will depend on your abilities!"

As soon as the words were spoken, Saint Xin formed a seal:

"Blood Demon Calamity!"

The power of the blood demon and the Phantom Swords Technique star power surged simultaneously, yet... turned and fled without a glance back!

...

"Ran, ran away?"

Even the spectators in the Apricot Realm were stunned.

Saint Xin actually chose to flee, how absurd is this?

The moment he uttered those bold words and launched the Blood Demon Calamity, shouldn’t he have returned to the Apricot Realm to begin the battle and force Lord Shou to comply?

"Sacrificial Spirit Forbidden Escape!" Within the Venerable Extreme Slash Space, Cursed Yin Baby exclaimed decisively, "Saint Xin ran, and then..."

The central head stared at the disappearing afterimage of Saint Xin in astonishment.

The right head turned towards the direction of the Time Realm Channel because Saint Xin’s escape path was precisely towards the Time Realm!

The left head, however, twisted to look at the Apricot Realm because, as Saint Xin departed, a torrent of blood demon power suddenly erupted from the Apricot Realm and all the major Cultivators!

"Ahhhhh——"

As soon as the blood demon power appeared, the guiding cities screamed incessantly.

Even Xu Xiaoshou struggled to withstand the backlash of this billion-year fate, how could ordinary Cultivators endure?

In no time, everyone’s bodies began to dissolve into blood, on the verge of perishing.

"No!"

Xu Xiaoshou’s heart tightened.

Logically, with the blood demon power already unleashed, it would not be excessive for the Apricot Realm Cultivators to be exterminated instantly.

But looking closer, the Cultivators of the guiding cities were dying extremely slowly.

The blood demon power was strong, but all those affected were dissolving gradually, from nails to fingers, to wrists, to arms...

From life to death, calculating meticulously, they might have to endure half an hour of agony before truly dying.

"Torture?"

"No, it’s not torture!"

"This is to force me to return to the Apricot Realm, to prevent the Blood Demon Calamity from happening, while he escapes the battlefield alone..."

Also incorrect!

There are many directions to escape the battlefield, why choose the Time Realm specifically?

"Xu Xiaoshou!"

At this moment, the Spirit Rhinoceros Technique jolted, and the voice of Dao Qiongcang came through:

"The Blood Demon Calamity is enormous; although my divine palace is not newly established, it certainly does not have the billion-year accumulation of the Delayed Dharma Heavenly Kingdom."

"If I forcibly accept everyone from the Apricot Realm, Saint Xin will definitely infiltrate. It’s possible that with the blood demon power, he could affect me through the black memory scar, and then..."

"Possession?" Xu Xiaoshou’s brow turned cold.

"Exactly, he covets the ability of my black memory scar, not to mention I just captured Bei Huai."

"So you’re saying that you can’t handle this matter, and I have to go back to the Apricot Realm to clean up your mess?" Xu Xiaoshou spoke as cold as ice.

Bip Bip Bip!

Zero instantly sounded the alarm.

Dao Qiongcang’s forehead was already dripping with sweat at these words.

It was obvious that his opportunistic method to capture Bei Huai, though seamlessly natural as the antelope’s horn, had also provoked jealousy from some narrow-minded fellows.

"Certainly not!"

Dao Qiongcang denied it without even thinking, and provided a more perfect analysis and solution:

"Leave the Apricot Realm to me. Don’t worry about the Blood Demon Calamity, and have no concerns for the rear of the battlefield."

"Our alliance, I swear by military order, if I can’t handle this minor issue, then I will present my head in apology!"

There was a pause, and Dao Qiongcang’s voice turned urgent, not daring to be negligent:

"Moreover, Xu Xiaoshou, Saint Xin went to the Time Realm!"

"Firstly, the flow of time in the Time Realm is different from the Shengshen Continent; by entering the Time Realm, he already has a foundation to digest the Great Dao River faster than you."

"Secondly, the Time Realm is connected to the unknown. If Saint Xin successfully escapes, it’s not the thief we fear, but the thief’s obsession. You and I will never be at peace from now on."

"Thirdly, this is my greatest concern: in the Time Realm, although Saint Xin might not encounter Bazhun’an, he can certainly find Kong Yuhen!"

These words struck like a thunderbolt on a clear day, Xu Xiaoshou suddenly awoke.

Time Realm, Kong Yuhen, Time Ancestor...

The river of time and space, integrating time and space; once seized, Saint Xin’s combat strength could geometrically multiply from its current foundation?

It’s possible that utilizing the special nature of the Path of Space-Time, he could even break free from the shackle of the Blood Demon Reverse Fate Technique.

Even more, by dissolving space-time, he could separate himself and Dao Qiongcang, defeating them one by one, and possibly return to the past to find Bazhun’an before returning to zero!

Gasp...

A sense of trepidation, as if stared at by a venomous snake, emerged spontaneously.

Originally thought the victory was secure, never imagined Saint Xin would make such a move, crisis re-emerges.

"Kong Yuhen is the foundation and goal for Saint Xin daring to sacrifice billion years of fate?"

Then, will Saint Xin attempt possession?

No need to think about it further; directly, the image emerged in Xu Xiaoshou’s mind of when traversing the time river, in an equal deal with the Demon Ancestor, a demand he made:

"You are responsible for collecting all of Kong Yuhen on the river of time for me, confirm that none is missing, and finally hand them all over to me."
