Eighteen formation points, that’s the number of activated formations reported and compiled by Sea Stone City.

It means that the common people and cultivators from eighteen state prefectures have been sacrificed, and the death toll is at least in the hundreds of thousands.

If it weren’t for the inherent chaos in the Cultivator Realm’s structure and the Imperial Court’s intention to control and disperse the population of the state prefectures, this number might have been several times higher.

But even this number is terrifying enough.

Almost no one can hear this number without being moved.

Even Han Yu is no exception.

Too many, and too tragic.

"How long will this situation continue?"

Han Yu suddenly asked Chasing Soul.

After thinking for a moment, Chasing Soul slowly replied.

"Probably until all the formation points are activated!"

Who knows how many more formations there are.

What’s more...

"Activating the formations is just the first step, not the ultimate goal."

That’s why Chasing Soul has never been optimistic about the Central Continent; no one knows what it will go through after this.

He was lost in thought but then noticed that Han Yu was looking in the direction of the sea.

"What are you thinking about?"

Han Yu indeed was deep in thought, unable to understand.

"I can’t figure out what you cultivators are all scheming for?"

When it comes to immortality, neither Yama Hall nor the Celestial Dao Sect seems to lack it, so why this secret conspiracy spanning thousands of years?

"Aren’t you a cultivator too?"

Chasing Soul countered, since he was a cultivator, in the end, what he sought was related to cultivation.

"What if I say I’m not a cultivator, would you believe me?"

Han Yu posed the question seriously, almost making Chasing Soul laugh.

With this physical body, these endless techniques, and various divine techniques, if this isn’t a cultivator, who is it fooling!

Chasing Soul naturally didn’t believe him.

But Han Yu truly didn’t count as a cultivator, as he had never practiced a single day.

He once consumed a Life Creation Pill, which meant he couldn’t do anything related to cultivation within sixty years.

Yet somehow, this person who couldn’t cultivate has raced to such a high level.

If he were to say it aloud, probably no one would believe it either.

"Knowing that you can’t cultivate, stop lamenting so much, lest we all die from some mental realm mishap."

The Artifact Spirit suddenly interrupted, directly ruining the mood.

Han Yu looked slightly dumbfounded, well! The death toll indeed somewhat unsettled him.

"This matter isn’t your fault in the first place; why are you grieving?"

One must admit, the Artifact Spirit’s way of comforting was simple and crude.

"If it really doesn’t work, find some Yama Hall cultivators to vent your frustration on."

That’s indeed not a bad method.

And soon it was put into action, for example, the flowing light over the sea caught Han Yu’s attention.

"Let’s go, take a look."

In recent times, Han Yu indeed used Chasing Soul to good effect; this guy’s control skills were truly handy.

As long as he could cast his abilities to momentarily hold someone in place, Han Yu would not miss.

Chasing Soul didn’t even have time to react before Han Yu had already led him towards the horizon.

If it’s the Celestial Dao Sect, then fine, but if it’s a Yama Hall cultivator, then perfect, slaughter them.

At this moment, Xin Yin, leading a hundred cultivators, had already crossed beyond the Endless Sea Domain, breaking through layers of clouds to reach a normal sea area.

Simultaneously, a rainbow light from the sky aroused his attention, and it was heading toward them.

Our allies?

Besides that, he couldn’t think of who would so recklessly charge towards them.

Until two figures stopped in front of them, both sides suddenly fell into an eerie atmosphere.

Han Yu was stunned, and it was a tingling kind of feeling.

Was his damned bad luck acting up again?

Earlier, he was just considering taking on seven or eight isolated cultivators, or even a dozen or two.

But now, facing these hundred-plus figures was quite overwhelming, especially since he spotted an acquaintance among them, Xin Yin, that bastard, was also there.

Chasing Soul was nearly scared to death, staring ahead in a daze, his entire spiritual treasure body trembling uncontrollably.

"Can you control a hundred cultivators at once?"

Han Yu suddenly asked.

Chasing Soul looked at him as if he were a madman, are you kidding me at such a time?

But actually, Han Yu wasn’t joking; if Chasing Soul could do it, then the advantage would be his.

If he couldn’t do it...

"Are you freaking kidding me?"

Chasing Soul cursed aloud.

Now Han Yu understood, Chasing Soul couldn’t do it!

So, he grabbed him and turned to flee, Xin Yin gritting his teeth and shouting, "Kill them."

Enemies were particularly enraged when meeting.

Xin Yin’s reaction was identical to Xin Zui and others; upon seeing Han Yu, the first thought was to kill him.

The ensuing scenes were quite spectacular, with Han Yu pulling someone along as they fled across the sea.

He and Chasing Soul ran ahead, with a vast squad behind them.

"Don’t worry, I’ve got a lot of experience with this kind of thing."

During the escape, Han Yu cast a reassuring look at his partner.

This was also the first time Chasing Soul saw from Han Yu’s perspective the confrontation between him and Yama Hall.

It was astonishing... utterly thrilling, who knows if his claim of experience was reliable.

If this was this guy’s routine, how on earth had he survived until now?

After a hundred-mile chase, they were almost at the edge of the Endless Sea Domain; beyond the clouds lay the Endless Sea.

"Don’t go there."

Chasing Soul shouted; currently, the Endless Sea Domain was even less safe, going inside might make matters worse.

So, Han Yu had to turn and change direction, continuing the chase with the enormous team in a detour.

But they couldn’t keep doing this.

"Can you control over twenty cultivators at once?"

Han Yu suddenly spoke.

Chasing Soul’s face twisted, his mind deeply shocked.

Because he understood what the other intended, and, inexplicably, he nodded.

"Barely, but it will be quite draining."

That was enough.

But Chasing Soul was puzzled about how the other planned to split the squad behind them.

Xin Yin was still chasing with the main group, but the initial realm cultivators trailing behind were too slow, so he couldn’t help but separate and chase alone.

As the distance gradually closed, just before he could strike, Han Yu suddenly transformed into flames, igniting an entire patch of void.

Then a dragon’s roar resounded, and seven or eight colossal Cyan Dragons emerged from the sea of fire, swiftly scattering in all directions.

Heaven-Flipping Palm!

Even though Xin Yin struck quickly, he only managed to intercept two, and after they dissipated, there was nothing left, while others had already reached ten miles ahead.

"Scatter and pursue, report as soon as you find them."

At Xin Yin’s command, he was the first to chase a particular direction, and the vast squad behind split into five groups to pursue respectively.

Under the sea at the spot, Chasing Soul was shocked; if he hadn’t seen it wrong, Han Yu copied a wild trick of soul division, right?

Originally a method used to escape by transforming one into four with the Heaven and Earth Four Division Skill, and this guy mimicked it to a better effect than the original.

The most unbelievable was that Han Yu’s means of bringing him to the seabed wasn’t particularly sophisticated; what were the hundreds of eyes on the other side even doing, not able to spot them.

Of course, Han Yu wouldn’t tell him it was due to the mist effect; at this moment, he’d already headed towards one of the directions.

In doing these types of tasks, speed was paramount; finish quickly and immediately change location.

In one area with about twenty cultivators, just stopped a Cyan Dragon, found nothing and were cursing.

Han Yu, after gesturing, quietly prepared.

Chasing Soul steeled himself, nodded, and with fingers swift like lightning, in a mere instant, managed to tap everyone.

From the giant wood’s shadow to holding reality was but a moment; to do it stealthily, the commotion couldn’t be too large, and Fire Divine Power definitely wasn’t suitable, exploding would alarm others in different directions.

This time the importance of weapons became evident; with several sweeps, those under the giant wood had no chance to resist, being smashed into pulp.

Of course, having Chasing Soul as an accomplice was crucial.

Without this guy, where would the twenty-plus live targets come from for me to hit?

So, does this mean I’m going down a dark path?

Chasing Soul looked at the mangled corpses falling into the depths of the sea, sighing deeply.

"Let’s go, keep going."

After dispersing the shadow, Han Yu was still unsatisfied, then led Chasing Soul towards another target...
