Chapter 358: Chapter 225 Pursuit_2
This way, theoretically, as long as his speed was fast enough, he could make the cultivators tracking him lose their ability to lock onto his scent.
But he was wrong; he changed directions many times, yet the cultivators at the late-stage Foundation Establishment behind him, and that overwhelming killing intent, also kept changing directions, evidently still locking onto him.
“Indeed, there was something off about Elder Lv’s gesture!” he thought to himself.
Ever since the first time Wang Chengjun had led several devil cultivators into an ambush, he had been extremely cautious, not allowing any cultivator close enough to place a mark on him.
The only one who could have placed a mark on him during this time was Elder Lv.
As for the other source of killing intent, he suspected it might be Jade Foot Relics.
...
This was not mere speculation; when he discovered that the cultivation technique “Step by Step Lotus” within the Jade Foot Relics had such speed, he realized the value of the Jade Foot Relics.
“Step by Step Lotus” was just the most basic technique within the Jade Foot Relics, and there were even higher level techniques beyond this.
Such a legacy was naturally invaluable.
If Qianye Temple did not have a method of tracking, Li Yuan Ba would not believe it for a second.
He thought that the cultivator with the killing intent behind him must be the Buddha from Qianye Temple chasing after the Jade Foot Relics.
He didn’t care about the imprint from the Jade Foot Relics; as soon as he met the original body, Li Shiming, he would hand over the Jade Foot Relics to Li Shiming.
Once in Li Shiming’s hands and placed into the machine room space, no matter what methods Qianye Temple employed, they could no longer sense the existence of the Jade Foot Relics.
He had strong confidence in this; he had used the machine room space several times to hide important spiritual objects.
Elder Lv and Jue Tu Buddha had both noticed each other. Elder Lv did not want to complicate matters; he wanted to avoid Jue Tu Buddha and did not wish to conflict with a half-step Arhat like Jue Tu Buddha.
But other than the task of retrieving the Jade Foot Relics, Jue Tu Buddha’s most important mission was to kill the cultivators from the Senluo Sect.
Elder Lv had a robust aura, certainly one of the top existences among the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Senluo Sect.
In Jue Tu Buddha’s view, such a cultivator should be a true disciple of the Senluo Sect, and he could not let go of such a valuable devil cultivator.
As for Li Yuan Ba, with the mark of the Jade Foot Relics, there was no worry about not finding him.
Catching up with Li Yuan Ba and retrieving the Jade Foot Relics was just a matter of time.
Jue Tu Buddha’s figure flashed as he pounced towards Elder Lv, his killing intent surged towards Elder Lv like a tide.
Elder Lv’s hair stood on end, the killing intent made him extremely uncomfortable.
Fortunately, although he had suppressed his power, his spirit was still at the Golden Core Stage, so the killing intent, although uncomfortable, could not truly affect him.

“Damn it, it’s Qianye Temple’s Killing Intent Buddha, how could our sect have no intelligence on such a monster!” Elder Lv cursed the intelligence department of his sect internally.
He increased his speed, employing a unique secret technique to widen the distance between him and Jue Tu Buddha.
He believed that Li Yuan Ba using “Step by Step Lotus”, a top-tier divine skill, would consume a lot, and if he continued tracking for a bit longer, he would catch up with Li Yuan Ba, seize him, and once out of the battlefield’s range, there would be no issue.
He had no desire to fight with Jue Tu Buddha, but Jue Tu Buddha was intent on killing him.
He increased his speed, and Jue Tu Buddha, enraged, had his killing intent materialize like a substance, forming a light boat that appeared under his feet.
The killing intent solidified into a light boat, and Jue Tu Buddha, driving the light boat, saw his speed suddenly increase.
Meanwhile, Li Yuan Ba had approached the location of the original body, Li Shiming; he involuntarily slowed down, confident in his own safety due to the arrangements made by Li Shiming ahead of time.
He stepped into a formation array made of one hundred twenty-eight banners.
With Li Shiming’s formation level, although he hadn’t reached the level of an Array Master, he was considered among the very top of high-level array masters.
His knowledge of formations blended techniques from the Heavenly Sea Sect, Zongshan Sect, and many other assorted formation skills, but as he had acquired this knowledge so briefly, even IBMz15 would need a long time to analyze and study it all.
Once IBMz15 had successfully analyzed all the formation knowledge thoroughly, perhaps he could directly advance to an Array Master.
Of course, if he could acquire some more formation knowledge, he could also forcibly elevate the Array Formation Starlight Sea with the volume of formation knowledge he mastered and possibly advance to an Array Master.
Standing within the formation, Li Yuanba took out the Giant Mountain Talisman, still not intending to use the Sword Intent Buddha Beads.
Elder Lv sensed that the mark he had left on Li Yuanba had stopped moving, causing joy in his heart as he could soon catch up to Li Yuanba.
He glanced back at Jue Tu Buddha, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes.
The state of Jue Tu Buddha was extremely terrifying, resembling a rakshasa from Hell, sharing no resemblance with Buddhist cultivators.
Yet this was one of the most powerful Buddhist cultivation methods: killing to become a Buddha, ostensibly cleansing the Buddhist sect of demons by killing, thereby strengthening one’s resolve and conviction through murderous intent.
This was a cultivation technique that easily led to demonic possession, even among devil cultivators, very few dared to cultivate using murderous intent.
Among those devil cultivators who managed to cultivate murderous intent successfully, not one was anything less than a terrifying entity, capable of endangering the cultivation world for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.
Elder Lv, while thinking, accelerated to his full speed using a secret technique, pushing himself to his limits.
Of course, these limits were within his current state; increasing his speed further would break the restrictions on his body and reveal his Golden Core strength.
Behind him, Jue Tu Buddha’s speed was also increasing, but Elder Lv estimated that he could reach Li Yuanba first. To him, any resistance from Li Yuanba was merely a joke.
Even suppressed, his realm was of the Golden Core Stage here; if he couldn’t defeat an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator in a single breath, he might as well dash his head to death.
Finally, he saw Li Yuanba, who stood smiling atop a white lotus, more Buddha-like than Jue Tu Buddha behind him.
Li Yuanba was actually shocked; he recognized that Elder Lv had personally entered the Foundation Establishment battlefield.
The only thing he could think of that would attract Elder Lv was possibly the Jade Foot Relics. For the relic, this Golden Core Demon Cultivator was going all out.
He also knew what it meant for a Golden Core cultivator to enter the battlefield, providing a perfect excuse for righteous Golden Core cultivators, an excuse to eradicate Elder Lv at any moment.
Elder Lv reached forward with one hand and dived towards Li Yuanba in a mysterious manner, confident that Li Yuanba could not escape his grasp.
This was a grasp from a person with more than five hundred years of combat experience, a grasp from a higher perspective theoretically inescapable for Li Yuanba.
But the issue was, Li Yuanba was standing within a formation array.
As Elder Lv approached, he detected the formation, allowing his body to turn mid-air and avoid crashing into the formation.
He looked surprisingly at Li Yuanba and the formation, his experience naturally sensing the extraordinary nature of this formation.
He knew Li Yuanba had exchanged for considerable formation knowledge, which to him suggested Li Yuanba’s interest in formations.
Every cultivator more or less chooses a secondary profession, and although pure sword cultivators rarely do, Li Yuanba was still young, and his interest in certain knowledge was normal.
But what he hadn’t anticipated was that Li Yuanba could set up such a formation in such a short time, a formation that could block a Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Such a formation, if arranged by any array master, would take several “two hours” to complete, but he had been tracking Li Yuanba continuously, so little time had passed; how could he possibly have arranged such a formation?
