How mighty was a demon thearch?

Jiang Yi knew this by judging from the Demon Empress. In addition, just now he heard from those demon kings that this demon thearch was even one of the top five demon thearchs in this sea area. Without a doubt, it was extremely ferocious.

This demon thearch was loud, and his voice echoed in the diameter of 50,000 kilometers. Jiang Yi probed with his divine senses and didn’t even find the demon thearch or sense his aura. However, he had a strange feeling that the demon thearch had fixed its eyes on him. He couldn’t fake the tremble in his soul spirit.

“What should I do now?”

While he was instant-s.h.i.+fting as fast as he could, his mind was spinning fast. He was even more quick-witted at the life-and-death moment. Only in a few blinks of an eye, he had come up with more than a dozen solutions; but he dismissed every one of them.

Now, the best tactic was to escape. The power of the demon thearch was not something that he could handle. Though his Netherworld Ghost Flames were intimidating, whether they could harm the demon thearch was still unknown. Most importantly—could he hit the demon thearch? Under the aura of the demon thearch, would he be able to release the attack?

In retrospect, when he was under the Hades Abyss, the Martial Arts Hall triggered the Heaven Fate Great Array which raised the image that Ji Tingyu condensed to the level of the Heaven Monarch Realm. He was suppressed by that powerful aura and couldn’t move at all. Jiang Yi was certain that if the demon thearch got near him, he would only die.

Therefore, he had to run away!

The problem was… how?

Should he fly to the sky or dive into the sea? The demon thearch could also do that. Even if he kept on instant-s.h.i.+fting to the sky, the demon thearch would catch him. Diving into the sea? That was even more unrealistic; the demon thearch was a tyrant in the sea.

“The Thearch Palace?”

Jiang Yi quickly shook his head again. Thearch Palace had not fully recovered its energy yet. Even if it had, it would probably be shattered in one palm strike of the demon thearch!

Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+

He continued to instant-s.h.i.+ft. Though he changed to flee to the northeast direction, the demon thearch did catch up with him. Still, he felt that he was constantly locked on by a vague aura. Warnings were constantly sent from the bottom of his soul spirit. It was clear that the demon thearch was chasing after him with haste.

After one hour… after two hours!

Jiang Yi still had no solutions. Luckily, there was no thunderbolt in the vicinity. He could instant-s.h.i.+ft to the sky. If he was in the sea, he might encounter other demonic beasts and demon kings.

“It should be coming?”

After instant-s.h.i.+fting for tens of thousands of kilometers, Jiang Yi’s inner warning grew stronger and stronger. Though he was fast and the demon thearch was probably coming from a distant place, it was so fast. It had chased after him for over two hours and should catch up to him anytime.

“Hmph!”

True enough—!

It wasn’t long until a faint sneer came from his back. Jiang Yi extended his divine senses and still didn’t find the demon thearch, but he could clearly feel a horrible aura coming from a distance. That aura was as obvious as a glaring sun.

“Flee!”

The demon thearch was probably just 330 kilometers away from him, but Jiang Yi didn’t give up. Once he died, everyone in the Thearch Palace had to die as well. He continued to instant-s.h.i.+ft forward and navigated his surroundings with divine senses, in an attempt to find a way to break the dilemma.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Instead of finding a way to solve the problem, Jiang Yi realized some black clouds floated towards him again. The sky was overcast by the clouds which had thunder snakes flickering inside them. He was in bad luck this time; it was another thunderstorm area.

Black clouds covered the sky, and so he could no longer stay high up the sky. Once he entered the black clouds, he would definitely die. He had no choice but to instant-s.h.i.+ft to a lower alt.i.tude. The aura of the demon thearch behind him was getting stronger and stronger. Jiang Yi’s heart was dropped to the bottom.

“Charge!”

A trace of madness flickered through his eyes. Instead of rus.h.i.+ng down into the sea, he summoned the Yazi Beast and shouted, “Yazi Beast, go forward as fast as you can!”

“Ah?”

The Yazi Beast was dumbfounded. There were heavy storms, violent winds, and ruthless thunderbolts in front of it. Wouldn’t they be blown into sc.r.a.ps if it marched forward like this? However, as Jiang Yi was shouting such exasperatedly, it dared not to stay any longer. It carried Jiang Yi and surged forwards while trying to keep to the sea surface as close as possible.

“This…”

After flying into the thunderstorm region, the Yazi Beast finally realized why Jiang Yi asked it to do so. The vague aura of the Demon Thearch permeated towards them, making its soul to tremble from time to time.

Jiang Yi’s purpose was obvious. He was trying to use the thunderstorms and the Heaven and Earth powers to stop the demon thearch from chasing after them.

The thunderstorms were the most domineering and terrifying forces in heaven and earth!

Though the demon thearch was powerful, it would still suffer after being hit by lightning. Jiang Yi was flying at a low alt.i.tude right now. He was totally risking his life. Without the block and separation by the sea water, they two would definitely die if the lightning hit them.

“Hm, dreaming to stop me using the Thunder Sea? You really underestimate me!”

Not long after Jiang Yi rushed to the Thunder Sea, an image shot from some distance away. This demon thearch had manifested itself into a human, but his look was rather strange.

He was wearing black armor. He had a dark complexion and was bald. There were two purple-gold earrings hanging from his ears. His eyes were even triangular and had a murderous look. Even his appearance could frighten people.

He stood outside the Thunder Sea for a while and looked through the dim sky. He saw Jiang Yi commanding the Yazi Beast to change its direction. They even managed to dodge dozens of thunderbolts and were about to disappear in the center of the Thunder Sea. He let out a trace of a sneer on his lips, turned into a faint image and dashed to the Thunder Sea.

He was moving so fast that he might catch up with Jiang Yi if not for the continuous lightning on his way. He was unusually powerful and didn’t need to worry about the time that the thunderbolts struck or the trajectory. Only when the thunderbolt was about to hit him, he would flash his body and easily escape.

“To the right, to the right!”

Jiang Yi was rather miserable. He couldn’t be bothered with the demon thearch on his back. He devoted all his energy into the thunderbolts coming from the sky above.

He had to judge the time and the location that the lightning would strike based on how the thunder arc twinkled above the black clouds so that the Yazi Beast could run away in advance. Of course, most of the time, he was relying on the instinctive warning from his heart or his sixth sense. The thunderbolts were falling so fast that he and the Yazi Beast would die for many times if he only depended on his eyes and divine senses.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In front of them was the center of the thunderstorm region. White lightning struck down like a giant snake and tore the sky apart, illuminating the entire sea region. In the center of the thunderstorm region, the thunderbolts were not striking down one by one. Instead, they came in a pack of more than a dozen continuous individual lightning. It was extremely terrifying. One might be scared to death with just one glance, let alone going in.

“Jiang Yi, are we still going in?”

The Yazi Beast looked at the scene in front of them, terrified. If they dared to go into the center, it would definitely be broken into ashes.

“Hahaha!”

When the demon thearch behind them saw the Yazi Beast stop, it laughed at them non-stop. He shouted, “Why aren’t you running now? Go inside! If you dare, why not go inside?”

Buzz!

A white palace appeared in Jiang Yi’s hand. A white light flashed by before the Yazi Beast suddenly disappeared in the sky. However, Jiang Yi flew down and walked on the sea.

Once he touched the surface, he even… closed his eyes and turned into a faint shadow that was shooting towards the center of the thunderstorm. He looked calm as if he was taking a walk inside his own courtyard. It was usually strange!

“Uh…”

The murderous triangular eyes of the Lion Chi Demon Thearch shrank, and it let off a hint of surprise on its face. Jiang Yi rushed to the center of the thunderstorm region with his eyes closed. In a few blinks of an eye, he had traveled hundreds of kilometers and was not even struck by a single bolt of lightning?! Jiang Yi’s eyes were closed throughout the way, and he looked calm and peaceful.

“d.a.m.n it, this human boy is so strange!”

The Lion Chi Demon Thearch murmured to itself before a murderous look flickered across its eyes again. Its body shot out violently. Lips covered with coldness, it shouted, “Boy, so what if you can cross the Thunder Sea? Will you escape from my grasp? Wait to die—I won’t leave you with a complete body!”
