Chapter 1653: Azure Sun Peak

Activating the Divine Escape Talisman was Jiang Yi's last resort. If he could hide in the Chaos Sea, Jiang Yi would have chosen to hide for tens of years in the Chaos Sea instead of heading to the Heaven Domain.
It was difficult to get to a Higher Domain from a Lower Domain and even more difficult to get to a Lower Domain from a Higher Domain!
Not only was the Heaven Domain a battleground for humans and the Netherworld Race, but it was also the territory of the prestigious clans from the Heaven Domain. If Jiang Yi went there, surviving would not be the problem. Teleporting back would be like a faraway dream.
Yet, what else could he do?
If he had not left, he would be struck to death. Whether he would be able to survive in the Heaven Domain or not, at least he had a fighting chance. It was just as he said; even if he had to die, he would want to drag a couple of people from the Dao Clan down with him.
The moment Jiang Yi teleported away, Dao Leng panicked because... he did not have a Divine Escape Talisman. He needed tens of hours to get to the Heaven Domain at least. Even if he used his message transmitting secret formation to send a message to the Dao Clan, he needed some time to do it. That would provide enough time for Jiang Yi to go on a killing spree.
It was not that Dao Leng was not good enough to own a Divine Escape Talisman. He was the third most powerful man in the Dao Clan, and he wielded a lot of power in his hands. However, Dao Leng was so powerful; would any ordinary person be able to kill him easily? How powerful must people who can kill him be? If he met someone like that, would a Divine Escape Talisman be of any help to him? In the time he would need to crush the talisman, he would probably be killed.
Divine Escape Talismans were very precious. It was extremely difficult to refine it. Ordinary young masters and young mistresses of the clan did not even possess one each. Only talents of the best tier did. After all, young masters and young mistresses were still growing up. They were considered young, and it would be easy for them to make mistakes. The main reason they would need a Divine Escape Talisman would be to protect their own lives. Formidable martial artists like Dao Feng did not need back-up plans like this. The Dao Clan's King-Ranked martial artists were all the more unworthy to have one.
"Activate the Teleportation Formation!"
At once, Dao Leng rushed into the Teleportation Formation that led to the Heaven Domain. At the same time, he shouted instructions to the clan head of the An Clan. "An Tianxing, send a message immediately to get your clan to activate their message transmitting secret formation. Tell the other clans that Jiang Yi is headed for the Azure Sun Peak."
Swish! Swish! Swish!
A few elders quickly used streams of light to activate the Teleportation Formation. The other stronger elders of the Dao Clan quickly followed suit. At the same time, An Tianxing left to tell his clan to activate their message transmitting secret formation.
The clan heads of the four great clans were all present. The Netherworld King's clone had been destroyed long ago. All the Netherworld Race beings had already been subdued. That explained why so many people had actually been hiding nearby. They were all waiting for Jiang Yi to walk into the trap.
They did not think that Jiang Yi would not be killed after walking into the trap. Instead, he managed to escape to the Heaven Domain. Even his two companions had made it back to the Earth Domain.
No one bothered to chase after Qi Qingchen and the Poison Spirit; nobody wanted to cause a commotion in the Earth Domain over two irrelevant characters. Everyone who died was killed by Jiang Yi. They only needed to go after whoever was responsible. From the looks of the situation, Jiang Yi would cause even more trouble in the Heaven Domain once he arrived there.
"Azure Sun Peak? Not the Azure Supreme Thearch Peak?"
A few formidable martial artists exchanged knowing looks, at a loss as to what was to be done. It was no wonder that Dao Leng was as worried and anxious as he looked. The Divine Escape Talisman did not lead one back to the Dao Clan's nest, the Azure Supreme Thearch Peak. In other words, Dao Nù was not in the Azure Sun Peak for sure. The people in Azure Sun Peak would not be able to fend Jiang Yi off.
...
In the Heaven Primordial Domain, about fifty thousand kilometers east of the Azure Supreme Thearch Peak stood a medium-sized mountain. That was known as the Azure Sun Peak.
There were hundreds of mountains just like this one around the Azure Supreme Thearch Peak. All of them were under the Dao Clan's control. Dao Nu had married hundreds of wives and had thousands of children. He had thousands and thousands of descendants. Countless other clans who supported the Dao Clan lived in the same area as well; they all resided in the mountains near the Azure Supreme Thearch Peak.
The Divine Escape Talisman indeed did not lead one to the Azure Supreme Thearch Peak, but to the Azure Sun Peak. One of the family lines of the Dao Clan's descendants lived there.
Buzz!
Jiang Yi felt dizzy. He did not know how long he had been teleporting for. By the time he opened his eyes, he found himself on a huge altar. People were standing all around him. There was only one King-Ranked martial artist among them. All of them were staring at him in confusion.
"Who are you?"
The King-Ranked elder was holding onto a battle sword in his hand, and his killing intent locked in on Jiang Yi. If Jiang Yi had not been a Demon-Killing Battle God, he would have seriously injured Jiang Yi by now.
Only people with the Dao Clan's Divine Escape Talisman could make it to this altar by teleportation. How could the King-Ranked martial artist not recognize all the young masters and young mistresses of the Dao Clan? Thus, the people guarding the altar knew that an enemy had just invaded their mountain. They were prepared to kill Jiang Yi the moment they realized he was acting strange.
Before he could be clear of the situation, Jiang Yi did not dare to make any sudden move. What's more, this altar was located in a huge hall. The huge hall had restrictions around it. He could very well be stuck in here.
The cogs in his mind kept turning. Very quickly, he came up with an idea. He expressed fear on his face and bent over in a panic. "I am from the An Clan. Chief Leng sent me here with an important piece of news!"
"An Clan? Chief Leng?"
The King-Ranked elder's expression softened. The An Clan followed the Dao Clan's lead, and they were considered family. Chief Leng was the third most powerful man in the Dao Clan as well. However, this elder still did not let his guard down. In a cold tone, he asked, "Where did you get that Divine Escape Talisman from? What is the important news?"
"Divine Escape Talisman?"
Jiang Yi blinked and replied, "This Divine Escape Talisman belonged to Young Master Feng. Young Master Feng dropped it by accident, and someone from my clan picked it up. Chief Leng wanted me to send an important piece of news here so my clan head gave me instructions to deliver the news personally. As for the news... I have to speak to the Clan Head. I must meet the Dao Clan's elders before I can say it. Are you an elder?"
"Oh."
The King-Ranked martial artist accepted Jiang Yi's explanation because Young Mistress Gongyang had earlier sent him a message that Dao Feng had indeed dropped his Divine Escape Talisman. It was normal for someone of the An Clan to have picked it up. Dao Feng went in search of treasures, and it was not surprising if the An Clan had sent people to guard him along the way.
"I am not an elder. Come with me; I will bring you to Azure Supreme Thearch Peak!"
The King-Ranked martial artist led Jiang Yi out, activating his divine senses to keep an eye on Jiang Yi. If Jiang Yi acted weirdly, he would attack him at once.
Jiang Yi's Demon-Killing Battle God status was a great help to him. In the King-Ranked elder's eyes, killing Jiang Yi would be as easy as killing an ant. Naturally, the elder was much less cautious and wary around Jiang Yi. Even if he suspected that Jiang Yi was a spy, he would not make a big deal out of it for now.
Very good!
Jiang Yi could finally use his divine senses in the Heaven Domain. However, the air here was much stiffer than in the Earth Domain. He could only use his divine senses to survey a limited distance. What's more, he did not dare to pry around too much. All he could do was slowly find out more about his surroundings.
Ss, ss...
Soon, he sucked in a deep, cold breath. The elder in front of him turned around, his gaze hard. "What's the matter?"
"No, nothing!"
Jiang Yi quickly explained, "The spirit energy in the Heaven Domain is so rich! It's several times richer than the spirit energy where I am from."
"Keke!"
The King-Ranked elder laughed. The few King-Ranked martial artists behind him smiled mockingly as well. They looked at Jiang Yi as if he were a country bumpkin. One of their lips twitched as he said, "You're comparing the Chaos Sea with the Heaven Domain? Hmph!"
The heaven and earth spirit energy here was at least ten thousand times richer than that in the Earth Domain. In other words, training anywhere in the Heaven Domain would be akin to training in a ten-thousand-times cultivation room back in the Earth Domain. If he could build ten-thousand times or hundred-thousand-times secret cultivation rooms here, his training progress would be absolutely frightening.
Once they exited the hall, they saw a huge, empty city plaza. Jiang Yi scanned it for several seconds before he finally heaved a sigh of relief. Secretly, he sensed around with his divine senses and discovered that they were on the peak of a mountain. There were only about a hundred thousand people on the mountain. Apart from the King-Ranked martial artist in front of him, there were only two others. His eyes lit up.
Jiang Yi looked around and finally did not bother suppressing his divine senses any further. Without any fear, he scanned the mountain peak again and again. The King-Ranked martial artist in front of him noticed this and immediately turned around to reprimand him. "Ridiculous! Is everyone from the An Clan so rude?"
At the same time, Jiang Yi's divine senses alerted the other two King-Ranked martial artists on the mountain peak. Both of them scanned him with their own divine senses. One of them said in a cold tone, "Who is this man? How brave he is!"
"Hahaha!"
Jiang Yi sensed around for several seconds with his divine senses and then laughed out loud. His body emitted intense killing intent as the ring in his hand lit up. The mummy appeared behind him, and his Heavenly Wind Armor wrapped around his body. Suddenly, he struck the King-Ranked elder in front of him and activated his Thousand Illusory Hands.
His laugh echoed throughout the entire mountain as he said, "I really am brave, or I would not have come to the Heaven Domain. Die!"
