Chapter 673: Wu Tian Daoist’s Warning, Wu Hu’s Escape

"My origins are beyond your comprehension. You'd better just go on your way."

Beneath the mask, Wu Yidao's expression was icy cold, and his voice had been specially altered.

With that, Wu Yidao no longer stood still. His figure flickered as he charged toward the fifteen eighth-level forbidden beings before him. Seeing this, they had no intention of waiting passively and immediately launched a fierce counterattack against Wu Yidao.

Half a minute later, gazing at the now empty surroundings, Wu Yidao finally left the scene satisfied, heading toward the next forbidden being he sensed.

What Wu Yidao failed to notice was that at this moment, Meteor Daoist had also encountered other forbidden beings.

Looking at Wu Tian Daoist and the eighth-level experts of the Wu Tian Sect appearing before him, Meteor Daoist's expression turned extremely grave. He looked at Wu Tian Daoist and spoke, "Wu Tian, why have you stopped us?"

Behind Meteor Daoist, the group of eighth-level experts from the Starfall Sect were already on full alert. If the Wu Tian Sect members made the first move, they would definitely not sit idly by.

Gazing at Meteor Daoist before him, Wu Tian Daoist didn't pay much attention. Instead, he looked behind Meteor Daoist, scanning through the eighth-level experts of the Starfall Sect, but failed to find the figure he was looking for.

Wu Tian Daoist withdrew his gaze, looked at Meteor Daoist, and snorted coldly, "Where is your Starfall Sect's Yi Dao Elder? Is he hiding, too afraid to show himself?"

Hearing Wu Tian Daoist mention their Yi Dao Elder, Meteor Daoist's heart immediately tightened. His expression changed as he said, "Wu Tian, why are you so concerned about our Starfall Sect's Yi Dao Elder? What exactly are you planning?"

"Nothing much. Just giving you a warning. Be careful. You can't protect Him. Let's go."

Wu Tian Daoist glanced at Meteor Daoist once more, then turned and left directly with the experts of the Wu Tian Sect.

Even if Meteor Daoist and the other forbidden beings wanted to press for answers, there was nothing they could do. After all, the strength of the Wu Tian Sect was right there. If a real fight broke out, their Starfall Sect would surely suffer heavy losses.

Additionally, he had heard rumors about Meteor Daoist's background, but he didn't dare believe them. After all, if Wu Tian Daoist truly had such a terrifying background, how would the surrounding forces dare oppose him?

After Wu Tian Daoist left, Grand Elder Xungua came before Meteor Daoist, his tone full of gravity, "Sect Master, what exactly did that Wu Tian fellow mean by his words?"

The surrounding Starfall Sect experts also looked at Meteor Daoist. After all, Yi Dao was their Starfall Sect's most powerful Prodigy, bar none. The entire hope for the Starfall Sect's rise rested on Yi Dao. But now, Wu Tian Daoist said they couldn't protect Him. What did that mean?

Meteor Daoist's expression was equally grave. But as the Sect Master, He couldn't lose composure. So, Meteor Daoist waved his hand and spoke directly, "That Wu Tian fellow is just trying to break our morale. Pay him no mind. The urgent task now is to first find the forbidden items we need within the Void Forbidden Realm and Breakthrough to the ninth level."

"Yes!"

Seeing this, the forbidden beings stopped asking. After all, the urgent task was to first Breakthrough to the ninth level.

Based on their past experience, every time the Forbidden Territory opened, there would be forbidden beings suppressing their cultivation to enter, then Breakthrough after entering the Forbidden Territory, thereby gaining power stronger than other forbidden beings who entered the Forbidden Territory.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Wu Yidao had hunted and killed hundreds of eighth-level forbidden beings in an extremely short time, and His forbidden cultivation had consequently Broken Through to the eighth-level Middle Stage.

"No good. My foundation is still too profound, which means I need more Forbidden Power to Breakthrough compared to other forbidden beings."

Sensing the situation within His body, Wu Yidao thought to Himself. Although He could easily defeat or even kill eighth-level Perfection forbidden beings while at the eighth-level Early Stage, this meant His Breakthrough required more Forbidden Power than forbidden beings of the same Realm.

If it were any other forbidden being who had devoured so many beings of the same Realm, they would have likely already Broken Through to eighth-level Perfection. Only Wu Yidao had merely Broken Through from the eighth-level Early Stage to the Middle Stage.

Shaking His head, Wu Yidao stopped thinking about it. As long as He wiped out all the forbidden beings within the Forbidden Territory, He would definitely be able to Breakthrough to the ninth level.

Then, when heading to the Domain Lord Realm, He would have enough confidence to speak. After all, upon learning that the Domain Lord wanted to take Him in, Wu Yidao had secretly begun investigating the Domain Lord Realm and learned that only forbidden beings above the ninth level held any status within the Domain Lord Realm.

Therefore, before entering the Domain Lord Realm, He must Breakthrough to the ninth level!

In the blink of an eye, a thousand years had passed.

Within the Heavenly Realm.

"Seriously, why do you have to keep chasing me?!"

Wu Hu couldn't help but shout at the Heavenly Clan members pursuing her from behind. Those chasing her were uniformly Tian Wang Realm experts.

Although Wu Hu was also a Tian Wang Realm existence at this time, she was only at the Late Stage. Among those chasing her were Tian Wang Peak experts. In a one-on-one fight, she might be able to defeat a Tian Wang Peak expert, but with a large group of Tian Wang experts swarming her, even with three heads and six arms, she wouldn't be a match.

As Wu Hu spoke, a Tian Wang Peak expert behind her looked at her with eyes full of rage and roared, "You stole the sacred artifact of our Fox Clan. How could we not chase you? Quickly return the sacred artifact and come back with us to face punishment. Otherwise, you will be executed without mercy!"

Hearing their words, Wu Hu's expression changed—not from shame over stealing, but from anger at nearly perishing. She looked at them and couldn't help but say, "Don't you know why I stole the Fox Clan's sacred artifact? It's because your Saint set his sights on me first!"

"Silence! Countless female foxes in the Fox Clan wish to be noticed by the Saint but get no chance. For the Saint to take a liking to you is an honor. Hurry back, clean yourself up, and obediently become the Saint's favored concubine!"

The Tian Wang Peak fox behind her looked at Wu Hu, eyes full of envy, but still roared.

Wu Hu, however, was utterly speechless. Whoever wanted to be the Saint's favored concubine could go ahead; she certainly didn't.

As for why Wu Hu was being pursued by the Fox Clan, why she stole the Fox Clan's sacred artifact, and why she caught the attention of the Fox Clan's Saint—it all traced back to events that happened ten years ago.
