Chapter 0496: Pursuing the Heart Sutra

Qin Yun never expected that the Martial King Dao Pill he had launched would possess such terrifying power, directly tearing apart the space of this desolate realm.

After Yang Shiyue led Qin Yun to escape, the Golden Sun Sect Leader and several Xuan Martial realm warriors closely pursued them.

Of the many people at the Golden Sun Sect's plaza, only these few survived!

The Nine Sun Sect, Totem Pavilion, and various other sects and families suffered heavy casualties this time, making it hard for them to recover quickly.

In addition, those Martial Kings and Xuan Martial realm experts who went to the Spirit Desolate also took away many resources.

The martial families and sects within the Three Desolates would also decline for a while.

"Xiao Yun, who are you going to take on?" Yang Shiyue asked.

"That Golden Sun Sect Leader is the strongest, leave him to me! The others are all injured, Sister Yang, you can handle them!" Qin Yun said, taking out the Nine Yang Divine Hammer.

"Alright!" Yang Shiyue also nodded.

Qin Yun swung the Nine Yang Divine Hammer and charged at the Golden Sun Sect Leader. As soon as he reached him, he unleashed the Heavenly Lion Roaring Sky Sound, catching the Golden Sun Sect Leader off guard and throwing him into a state of shock.

Then, he unleashed a set of Dragon Forging Six Techniques. The powerful Primordial Oscillation Dao Force roared alongside black thunder, striking at the Golden Sun Sect Leader.

Seeing Qin Yun's overwhelming power, the Golden Sun Sect Leader quickly dodged the rapid hammer strikes!

Although he was a Xuan Martial realm warrior, he had also been injured in the previous explosion, but he was still confident he could handle Qin Yun.

However, now seeing the terrifying hammer in Qin Yun's hand, he couldn't help but feel fear.

"The power of the Dao Bone... You've actually reached the eighth level of the Martial Dao realm!"

The Golden Sun Sect Leader was utterly shocked. According to the information he had, Qin Yun had only advanced from the first to the eighth level of the Martial Dao realm in just a year or two!

"A guy like you, trying to kill me to prove yourself, you're underestimating me!" Qin Yun laughed heartily, suddenly throwing out a set of immobilization runes.

The Golden Sun Sect Leader was hit by the immobilization runes but was not immobilized, as his armor blocked the immobilizing power.

Qin Yun noticed that the Nine Sun Sect's armor could resist immobilization runes.

Immobilization runes are ancient and mystical, so the armor forged by the Nine Sun Sect could mostly resist immobilization runes.

Although the immobilization runes were ineffective, Qin Yun was still confident he could defeat this Golden Sun Sect Leader!

With the Nine Yang Divine Hammer, Qin Yun could unleash power comparable to an early-stage Xuan Martial realm warrior, and with his powerful martial skills, he quickly suppressed the Golden Sun Sect Leader.

"Little lion, come out!" Qin Yun suddenly performed the Sky Lion Summoning Technique, calling forth two Netherworld Celestial Lions.

After stepping into the sixth level of the Martial Dao realm, his Black Martial Soul underwent a second transformation, greatly enhancing his abilities. Now, at the eighth level of the Martial Dao realm, the Netherworld Celestial Lions he summoned were also extremely powerful.

As soon as the two Netherworld Celestial Lions appeared, they and Qin Yun surrounded the Golden Sun Sect Leader and simultaneously unleashed the Heavenly Lion Roaring Sky Sound!

The intense sound waves roared, carrying spiritual attacks and oscillating power, instantly striking the Golden Sun Sect Leader from three directions!

Hit by the three sound waves, the Golden Sun Sect Leader immediately bled from all seven orifices and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Qin Yun swiftly charged forward, bringing down his hammer, unleashing countless black thunderbolts that shook the heavens and the earth.

Even with his precious armor, the Golden Sun Sect Leader's body was pierced by that power, destroying his Dao Bones and meridians, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Qin Yun, when I was chasing you earlier, I already transmitted your wicked actions to the Spirit Desolation through a communication mystical weapon. Just wait to be punished!" the Golden Sun Sect Master shouted using mental energy.

"Wicked actions? Isn't it wicked for you to try to take away my Sky Lion bloodline and totem?" Qin Yun found it somewhat amusing but also infuriating.

These powerful forces always think it's natural for them to oppress others. And when others resist them, it's considered wicked, demonic, and against the will of heaven!

"Someone like you, possessing the Sky Lion bloodline and totem, is already a violation of the Great Dao. And our Nine Sun Sect, being the favored of the Great Dao, has the right..."

Qin Yun roared in anger, smashing down with his hammer, completely killing the Golden Sun Sect Master, and then extracting a Purple-Gold Thunder Martial Soul!

"The Martial Souls of these guys are quite good!" Qin Yun had harvested quite a few Purple-Gold-level Martial Souls recently.

This would allow him to forge even stronger spiritual weapons in the future.

Yang Shiyue had already finished her battle. She released the life traces of her silk threads, entangling those Spirit Martial realm warriors, waiting for Qin Yun to deal with them.

After Qin Yun arrived, he suddenly sensed a residual powerful aura.

It felt like something enormous was pressing down, making it hard to breathe.

"Sister Yang, is this your Dao Pressure? It's overwhelming!" Qin Yun was somewhat surprised, yet he couldn't release such a powerful Dao Pressure himself.

Originally, at the sixth or seventh layer of the Martial Path, one could begin to use Dao Pressure, but this mainly depends on one's insight.

The most direct feeling Dao Pressure gives is an overwhelming pressure, an intangible mental energy influence.

Additionally, when carving mystical inscriptions, infusing them with Dao Pressure can fill the inscriptions with Dao Pressure, causing psychological influence on the opponent during battle.

Qin Yun thought his insight was good, but he just couldn't grasp the Dao Pressure.

"Perhaps your Martial Soul situation is too complex, so you can't comprehend it in a short time. Don't worry, you'll definitely get it in the future!" Yang Shiyue comforted softly, her eyes filled with encouragement.

Qin Yun felt somewhat reassured, then extracted the Martial Souls from those Spirit Martial realm warriors, which were only Platinum-grade Martial Souls.

"Worthless Martial Souls!" he said with disdain.

His words were a crushing blow to the elders.

The Martial Souls that had accompanied them for many years, after being taken away, were still called worthless Martial Souls.

One of the elders was so angry that he died on the spot!

Qin Yun used a fire charm to incinerate those elders.

He looked towards the direction of the Desolate Region, feeling a sense of melancholy. Despite the significant disturbance inside the Desolate Region, there was no sound outside.

Yang Shiyue smiled, "The space has been shattered, and those guys are completely dead!"

"Their forces in the Spirit Desolation will know about this! That sect master just said he had already transmitted the situation here to the Spirit Desolation!" Qin Yun looked up at the sky, his face showing concern.

"Don't worry, when we go to the Spirit Desolation in the future, we won't need to fear them! The Spirit Desolation now is not dominated by the Nine Sun Sect!" Yang Shiyue brushed the dust off Qin Yun's clothes, whispering.

Qin Yun and Yang Shiyue had finally dealt with these Nine Sun Sect members, and now they were going back to cultivate, aiming to reach the Ninth Layer Martial Path!

After they flew into the air, they suddenly sensed a very strong aura!

"It's the aura of the Martial King Realm!" Yang Shiyue's expression changed drastically, pulling Qin Yun to leave.

"Wait, it's me!" The Martial King who arrived was actually Martial King Wei Zhongzheng.

Qin Yun and Yang Shiyue were even more surprised, as the repulsive forces had already begun to emerge within the Three Wastelands.

Staying here at the Martial King realm was extremely dangerous!

"Sect Leader!" Qin Yun looked at the black-robed old man and immediately felt relieved. He was also very happy to see Wei Zhongzheng again.

Seeing that Qin Yun was unharmed, Wei Zhongzheng smiled and said, "I heard that the Jinyang Sect had captured you, so I rushed over immediately. I'm glad you're okay!"

Yang Shiyue asked in confusion, "Sect Leader Wei, why aren't you affected by the repulsive force?"

"The effect is minimal for now! If it continues, I'll have to suppress my cultivation and reduce myself to a Ninth Layer Martial Path warrior!" Wei Zhongzheng laughed. "This secret method was taught to me by the Darkmoon Palace."

Previously, Cai Xiangjing, who was at the Spirit Martial Stage, was able to enter the Martial Ancient City using this very method.

"Sect Leader, what about the others from the Nine Extremes Profound Sect? Why didn't you go to the Spirit Wasteland?" Qin Yun felt a pang of sadness as he mentioned the Nine Extremes Profound Sect.

"I entrusted Mu Fengxiao to take them to the Spirit Wasteland! Mu Fengxiao will arrange everything for them!" Wei Zhongzheng sighed deeply. "Xiao Yun, with the loss of the Sun Suppressing Divine Arrow, our Nine Extremes Profound Sect is now only in name."

Qin Yun sighed in frustration. The Blue Spirit Star Palace he once belonged to had also vanished suddenly, and now the Nine Extremes Profound Sect was facing the same fate.

"Xiao Yun, I will continue to stay in the Three Wastelands to search for the other parts of the Nine Extremes Heart Sutra! I thought only the lower volume was lost, but it turns out the middle volume is missing as well!"

Wei Zhongzheng looked up at the Nine Suns in the sky and said, "The Nine Extremes Heart Sutra consists of upper, middle, and lower volumes. The middle and lower volumes are likely in the Demon Wasteland and the Beast Wasteland! The Nine Extremes Heart Sutra is crucial to us. Only by gathering all volumes can we hope to reestablish the Nine Extremes Profound Sect's standing among the Nine Wastelands!"

The Nine Extremes Heart Sutra remained an enigma. Although Qin Yun possessed it, he had only managed to cultivate the Nine Extremes Inner Energy and the Ultimate Dragon Palm, and even those were still incomplete.

"Sect Leader, should I join you in the search?" Qin Yun asked.

"No need! Once I find it, I will come to the Spirit Wasteland to find you!" Wei Zhongzheng glanced at Yang Shiyue and then patted Qin Yun on the shoulder. "Both of you are strong enough. You should be able to reach the Spirit Wasteland safely."

"Sect Leader! Sister Yang is very knowledgeable about techniques and such. Could I have her guide me in cultivating the Nine Extremes Heart Sutra... but I would need your permission!" Qin Yun scratched the back of his head and asked with a smile.

Wei Zhongzheng smiled and said, "Fine, I grant you permission to teach Miss Yang. If she can guide you in cultivating the Nine Extremes Heart Sutra, that would be ideal!"

"Thank you for your trust, Sect Leader Wei!" Yang Shiyue expressed her gratitude sincerely.

After all, it was an extremely profound martial art. She was not a disciple of the Nine Extremes Profound Sect, yet she was allowed to learn it, which showed how much Wei Zhongzheng trusted her.

"Take care, I must hurry to the Demon Wasteland!" Wei Zhongzheng looked at Qin Yun with a relieved smile.

"Sect Leader, take care as well!" Qin Yun nodded.

"Sect Leader Wei, be careful on your journey, take care!" Yang Shiyue said.

Wei Zhongzheng took out his flying vessel and swiftly headed toward the Demon Wasteland.

Qin Yun and Yang Shiyue quickly returned to the Martial Ancient City!
