Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Jiang Yi frantically controlled the Wintry Pearl and released group after group of Sword Emanations Race beings. He had not managed to bring many Sword Emanations Race beings from the Sword Emanations Mystic Realm this time; he only had around ten million of them. Although the Wintry Pearl was a top-grade spatial divine item, it also could only contain this many Sword Emanations Race beings.

Ten million might seem plentiful!

However, Jiang Yi used his mental connection with the Sword Emanations King and found out that the ten thousand over Sword Emanations Race beings he had released previously had all been killed. Only such a short time had passed in this place; he had to stay in here for a full three days. If this continued—before a full day was over, he would only be left with the Sword Emanations King.

However, what other way did he have?

His heart was convulsing as an extreme discomfort was spreading from his soul spirit. It was very pressurizing and felt extremely terrible. Jiang Yi was afraid that if the Lunar Beasts came close and he was enveloped by the Lunar Aura, he might not even be able to move his fingers and could only watch as he was killed.

Jiang Yi released tens of thousands of Sword Emanations Race beings this time and easily blocked the thousands of Lunar Beasts below. Jiang Yi was also brought forward swiftly by the Sword Emanations King.

“Only how long had passed? Can I really survive until I reach that Divine Tree? Even if I reached the Divine Tree, could I last for three days? Three Higher-Domain days was three hundred Lower-Domain days; that was around a year, right?”

“Ten million Sword Emanations Race beings... within such a short time, I had already released tens of thousands of them. When I have used all of them, what will I use to hold off the Lunar Beasts? Perhaps this Purgatory Mystic Realm will be my resting place...

“Mother, I might not be able to live to kowtow in front of you!

“Xiaonu, I am sorry. Your Young Master is useless; I hope that you can forget about me...”

Thought after thought surfaced in Jiang Yi’s mind; his expression also became extremely downcast and desolate. It seemed that his experiences after entering the Purgatory Mystic Realm had made him feel that his future was bleak, and he had this feeling of just giving everything up.

“Something isn’t right...”

Jiang Yi’s eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light as his face also darkened. He wasn’t a person who was so easily discouraged; he definitely wasn’t someone who would give up so easily either. Such a small setback had actually made him feel hopeless?

“Demonic Repellent!”

Jiang Yi spat out these two words. The Demonic Repellent had actually started to subtly affect his soul spirit. The Wintry Sovereign had been right: the most terrifying thing in the Purgatory Mystic Realm was the Demonic Repellent; forts were always taken from the inside. No matter how powerful a formidable martial artist was, as long as his heart and mental state was not strong enough, if he grew into despair, succumbed to fear, started to feel like giving up; only at most thirty percent of this formidable martial artist’s battle strength could be unleashed. He would also easily breakdown.

“Horrifying!”

Jiang Yi finally knew how lethal the Demonic Repellent was. He steeled his heart as he told himself repeatedly that he was going to survive this; he was not going to give up.

After thinking about the same thing over and over again, one’s soul spirit would absorb that thought. Just as how someone suffering from insomnia would slowly, gradually fall asleep after continuously telling himself how tired he was and how much he wanted to sleep. This repetitive thought process was done to soothe and influence one’s soul spirit. In times of crisis, these thoughts could be life saviors.

As Jiang Yi continued forward—every few thousand kilometers, he would encounter the Lunar Beasts. The Purgatory Mystic Realm seemed to have an endless amount of Lunar Beasts; Jiang Yi encountered them everywhere. After eight to ten hours, Jiang Yi had already met with hundreds of waves of Lunar Beasts and finally understood their capabilities and strengths a little better.

There were two types of Lunar Beasts. One was the low-grade Lunar Beasts while another was the high-grade Lunar Beasts. Both types of Lunar Beasts were about the same size and looked the same as well. The only difference was that the high-grade Lunar Beasts’ eyes were green-black in color while the low-grade Lunar Beasts’ eyes were grass-green. The low-grade Lunar Beasts’ attacks and speeds were comparable to that of ordinary Demon-Killing Battle Gods. As for their defenses, Jiang Yi did not know. He had never lingered long enough to see a Lunar Beast fight with the Sword Emanations Race beings and had always fled at the first chance he had.

The high-grade Lunar Beasts, on the other hand, were very terrifying. They were even slightly faster than the Sword Emanations King, and their claws were very sharp and deadly. Even Jiang Yi’s supreme-grade divine artifact battle armor would probably not be able to withstand more than a few claw attacks. As for who would win in a battle between the Sword Emanations King and the high-grade Lunar Beasts, Jiang Yi did not know. He had asked the Sword Emanations King to bring him forward this whole time, and so the Sword Emanations King had not had the chance to fight.

The Wintry Sovereign’s handwritten letter had stated clearly: ‘do not be entangled with the Lunar Beasts, or you will definitely die’.

Jiang Yi finally understood what the Wintry Sovereign meant. Although Jiang Yi had not lingered to engage with the Lunar Beasts and had immediately released his Sword Emanations Race beings after encountering the Lunar Beasts—now that around ten hours had passed, Jiang Yi had already used four hundred to five hundred thousand Sword Emanations Race beings.

At this moment, Jiang Yi was a little perplexed. So many Lunar Beasts were in this mystic realm; why did the Wintry Sovereign ask him to go and look for this Divine Tree?

Even if he found the Divine Tree, so what? Could it be if he climbed up the Divine Tree the Lunar Beasts would not attack him? If he managed to reach the vicinity of the Divine Tree and the Lunar Beasts kept on coming, what was Jiang Yi going to use to hold them off?

Jiang Yi also could not think of an answer. He could only try to head to the Divine Tree first before reassessing his next move.

Gong!

That weird sound once again traveled from underground as Jiang Yi grew anxious, and his face became extremely pale. Beads of sweat covered his forehead as all his muscles tightened, and he shook slightly. However, his hand kept on grabbing onto the Sword Emanations King. The Sword Emanations King was also following his commands and flying him to the south.

After a moment, Jiang Yi’s eyes suddenly opened wide; however, they were bloodshot as an unlimited amount of baneful aura suddenly rose from his body. He shook vigorously as if trying to suppress his own feelings. He only gradually regained his lucidness when the Xiaozhuan characters appeared in his soul spirit consciousness.

“Hu-hu-hu!”

Jiang Yi wiped off the sweat from his forehead as he breathed out a few times heavily. The Demonic Repellent was becoming more and more powerful; how many hours had passed only? At that moment just now, Jiang Yi felt that he almost couldn’t take it and was on the verge of going on a rampage. Lunar Beasts covered this entire mystic realm; if he went on a rampage, it was clear what would happen to him.

“After flying for so long, that Divine Tree should be near, right? I cannot give up! I must survive this; I want to live!”

Jiang Yi continued to murmur to himself as he tried to influence his soul spirit. A sliver of expectation also grew in his heart. According to his calculations, he should probably reach the vicinity of the Divine Tree in at most one hour. Who knew what was so special about this Divine Tree?

Buzz!

At this moment, a red glow suddenly flashed in the sky as it slowly formed a beam of light; it finally became rays of red light that covered the entire Purgatory Mystic Realm. The pitch-black wilderness was suddenly lit up by that red glow as a beautiful, cold glow was reflected. The moment this red light appeared, gusts of wind gathered as they wailed incessantly, just as if summoning the armies of the Netherworld Realm.

“The red light is here!”

Jiang Yi’s heart clicked. The handwritten letter had stated clearly that a red light would shine over the entire Purgatory Mystic Realm every twenty hours. This red light would last for five minutes, and these five minutes would be the most terrifying period within this mystic realm.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Jiang Yi did not hesitate as he immediately released a continuous flow of Sword Emanations Race beings; he unleashed a full hundred thousand of them this time as they surrounded him tightly. He also showed signs of slowing down. Although danger had not yet struck, Jiang Yi had a weird feeling that if he did not give it his all now, he would probably not be able to last for these five minutes.

“Little Ferocious, come out!”

Jiang Yi howled as his Heaven-Swallowing Beast was let out. At the same time, an old zither appeared as his supreme-grade battle armor also surfaced. Jiang Yi’s Fire Dragon Sword also shone brightly as the Sword Emanations King slowed and stopped; looking about cautiously.
