Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 923: Rushing for the Ancient Artifact

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“She Fei and Yi Chan had passed through the hallway?”

When Jiang Yi heard the noise at the back, he nearly gave up on crawling as this damned passage was too tiring to crawl across. It felt as though a large mountain was on his back as he advanced. He left a brownish-red blood trail at the back, and his knees and elbows were still bleeding. Due to the loss of blood, he was getting increasingly exhausted.

“Haha, Young Master Wuying has made it through as well!”

“Young Master Ni is also through. Hurry up Young Master Ni, go and get one of the ancient artifacts!”

“Young Master Long, hurry up, you are almost there. Endure!”

There were faint voices that Jiang Yi heard which caused his eyes to flash with killing intent. Wu Ni actually got through, too? When he thought about the increase in strength when Wu Ni obtained the ancient artifact, which would make it even more difficult for him to take down Wu Ni, Jiang Yi’s eyes were getting red.

“Go!”

He gritted his teeth and toughened up his bones and started to crawl like crazy, doubling his speed. He was getting faster and faster. He originally needed 30 or 40 minutes to crawl 300 meters, but now, he merely used 15 minutes and had rushed out of the hallway.

“Eh?”

Yin Ruobing, Sister Xing, and others on the outside all had bright eyes while Sister Xing muttered with praises. “This Bai Yi’s willpower is very tough. He actually didn’t care about his body and advanced so quickly. I reckoned that his internal organs must be jolted so much that he is bleeding from inside?”

There was a trace of redness on Yin Ruobing’s charming face as she looked at Jiang Yi’s vanishing figure. She muttered, “There is still around 20 minutes left. Let’s see if Bai Yi can obtain one of the ancient artifacts! If he can get one of them, the clan would place more value on him.”

“Uh...”

The moment Jiang Yi crawled out from the passage, the scenery in front of his eyes actually changed drastically. It was no longer the scenery that he saw earlier in the hallway as he had arrived in a new hall. This hall was bright as daytime, and the visibility was extremely clear. A single glance was enough to see everything, and he could also see She Fei, Wu Ni, Jian Wuying, Yi Chan, and Tu Long.

Hoo-Hoo!

The five at the front were all slightly apart, and they were all using their various treasures and abilities to advance. She Fei and Yi Chan were at the front. She Fei had a giant skull by his side which was flowing with runic patterns and revolving around him constantly.

Yi Chan’s body was roaring with layers of thunderbolts. Jian Wuying’s Soul-Hooking Flute was also orbiting around his rapidly. Seven dark green pearls were fluttering around Wu Ni and enveloping his entire body firmly.

Tu Long had transformed. The lower half of his body was still human, but his upper half was a giant grey violent bear. He also had a steel-like long tail, and his entire body was covered in shining runic patterns. There were tiny mystical beasts in the runic patterns which were faintly visible, and it was truly amazing.

“Ancient artifact!”

Jiang Yi looked in the direction where everyone was heading towards and saw an icebound throne which was several kilometers away. There was a skeleton over 12 meters in height seated on the throne; it was like the body of an ancient god.

The skeleton had a crown, and there was a giant stone furnace dragged by the skeletal hand. The stone furnace was dark green in color, and it wasn’t flowing with runic patterns, but there were various mysterious patterns carved on it. Those patterns seemed to possess indescribable power, and a single glance caused the heart to palpitate.

“Why are they moving so slowly? Is there something in front of them?”

Jiang Yi took a few curious glances and immediately entered the Union of Heaven and Man to sense the situation carefully. Soon enough, his soul spirit shuddered and his body was trembling with excitement. Because this main hall had astral winds, and the concentration was similar to the Hall of Astral Winds.

Astral winds?

He was least afraid of astral winds!

“Should I rush for the ancient artifact or capture Wu Ni?”

Jiang Yi’s mind thought quickly. Wu Ni was right in front of him, and he could obtain the ancient artifact effortlessly. His eyes flickered as he made a decision to forsake the ancient artifact as it was most important to capture Wu Ni!

No matter how valuable a treasure was, it was just a treasure and a method to strengthen oneself. If he could capture Wu Ni, he could use him to exchange for Su Ruoxue. Su Ruoxue was a priceless treasure to him, and no treasure could be compared.

Swish!

His hands were flourishing, and his body sprinted ahead like a violent dragon as he headed straight for Wu Ni.

This inner hall also had a strong gravity, but it was incomparable to the hallways and should be around the same as the other places in the Purgatory Ruin. Jiang Yi’s speed had reached the Soul Travel Realm, and the Black Iron Armor appeared on his body. His hands were flourishing frenziedly, and he was circulating the Nameless Divine Art to absorb the nearly astral winds. The ancient divine essence ring was glittering as the Black Iron Heavy Sword and the flexible sword were getting ready to appear at any moment. If necessary, he would risk it even if he had to expose the Divine Sound Heaven Skill.

His speed was too fast as compared to everyone else as he didn’t have to worry about the astral winds at all. Everyone wanted to advance quickly, but they had to clear out the astral winds at the front carefully before they could advance.

Six kilometers, three kilometers... 2.6 kilometers!

Jiang Yi’s arrival had alerted everyone. No one paid attention at the start as they only had the ancient artifact in the ancient general’s hand who was seated on the icebound throne. When they heard the compact footsteps, all of them turned around with astonishment.

“Eh?”

A single glance caused all five pairs of eyes to slightly shrink because Jiang Yi’s speed was too fast. Although they had cleared out most of the astral winds behind them, it was still impossible for Jiang Yi to move so quickly. The astral winds would flow slowly, and their divine senses were powerful enough for them to clearly see how many astral winds were in front of Jiang Yi.

“What’s happening?”

Everyone couldn’t understand and had all stopped as they locked their eyes onto Jiang Yi’s flourishing hands. They had discovered that the nearby astral winds were all gathering towards those two hands, and they would... vanish!

“This Bai Yi actually has such a divine skill? It seems like he is absorbing the astral winds?”

Yi Chan’s beautiful eyes flashed, and they were shockingly bright. Immediately after, she saw three of the seven dark green pearls beside Wu Ni fluttering while Jian Wuying had also grabbed his Soul-Hooking Flute and began blowing a tune. Her eyes instantly flashed with a trace of astonishment as she transmitted a message: “Bai Yi, be careful!”

Yi Chan’s transmitted message came too late as the indistinct sound of flute traveled into Jiang Yi’s ears. His mind felt as though he was struck by lightning, and three of Wu Ni’s dark green pearls struck viciously on his body.

Bang, Bang, Bang!

Jiang Yi’s body flew back and crashed like a sack. The Black Iron Armor glowed with radiance, and there were three obvious dents. On the inside, three of Jiang Yi’s ribs were broken, and his inner organs were completely shaken up.

Hoo-Hoo!

The moment Jiang Yi got struck, he immediately woke back up. Even though his entire body was in extreme pain, his hands didn’t stop flourishing and absorbing the astral winds. If he stopped, his body would be minced up by the astral winds into pieces.

Boom!

As his body crashed over a few hundred meters away, he opened his mouth and vomited a mouthful of fresh blood while he stared rigidly at the flute in Jian Wuying’s hand. He had heard of this Soul-Hooking Flute before as that was the Sword Thearch’s famed weapon. When it was playing a tune, it would release a horrific Divine Sound Heaven Skill which was much more aggressive than Jiang Yi’s. With Jiang Yi’s soul spirit toughness, it was impossible for him to endure it.

“Release my Divine Sound Heaven Skill?”

Jiang Yi hesitated. If he was on the outside, he had absolute confidence that everyone would be affected. However, his spatial zone was too steady, and it would indirectly weaken the prowess of the Divine Sound Heaven Skill. With Jian Wuying releasing the Soul-Hooking Sound, Jiang Yi had no way to approach Wu Ni; and the prowess of his Divine Sound Heaven Skill would be even weaker. Furthermore, Wu Ni and the others’ soul spirit toughness were definitely competent, and if they weren’t affected, then Jiang Yi would have exposed himself for nothing.

He wasn’t afraid of getting exposed; he was afraid that even if he exposed his identity, he wouldn’t be able to take down Wu Ni!

All memories would be wiped out in the Purgatory Ruin, but if he exposed his identity, everyone would surely take a paper and record down the name ‘Jiang Yi’. When that happened, the Buddha Emperor would simply give the order to conduct a strict search on the outskirts of the Purgatory Ruin, and it was highly possible for him to get caught.

If he was able to capture Wu Ni, he wouldn’t have anything to fear as he had a hostage. The problem was it seemed like he wouldn’t be able to capture Wu Ni?

“Ancient artifact!”

He lifted his head abruptly, looked at the ancient artifact in the distance, and revealed a ruthless expression. If he couldn’t capture Wu Ni, he had to take the ancient artifact. At least, he must not allow She Fei and the others to obtain it. If he could instantly refine the ancient artifact upon obtaining it, his strength would drastically increase; and he would be able to find another method to capture Wu Ni.

“Rush!”

He slammed the ground with a single hand and bounced back up. He circulated the Nameless Divine Art and flourished his hands while rushing to the side with lightning speed. She Fei and others were over six kilometers from the ancient artifact. He could completely detour around them and directly head for the icebound throne!
