Capítulo 1646: Chapter 887: The Failed Ambush and Escape to Jixian Island (Part 3)

Yet in the very next instant, Old Ghost Wan Xing abruptly detected something off!

Damn it!

It let out a furious roar, slamming its right palm down viciously, instantly reducing the baffled Zhao Chongxu below to a mangled mass of meat.

Fuming with rage, Old Ghost Wan Xing seized Zhao Sheng’s remains and boldly thrust a mighty divine sense into the body.

After probing several times, it realized the lump of flesh gripped in its claw was in fact an… avatar.

As the saying goes, fortune plays tricks on mortals, and destiny twists in unfathomable paths!

No scheme, however meticulous and perfect, can stand against a sudden reversal.

Today’s greatest surprise was Old Ghost Wan Xing’s failure to foresee that Zhao Sheng had long reached the Unification Realm, and his return this time was merely via an avatar.

Crunch, crunch!

Old Ghost Wan Xing chewed noisily, its gaze blazing with boundless murderous intent, and uttered icily, “Even if you flee beyond the Nine Netherworld… you won’t escape my grasp!”

Next, it clutched the avatar’s remains tightly and started weaving spells to draw out the lingering Divine Soul aura from Zhao Sheng.

…

The moment the avatar detonated its Primordial Spirit, Zhao Sheng’s true body concealed in the Five Elements Cave Heaven instantly felt a faint stir.

Snapping out of his cultivation trance, Zhao Sheng at once sensed the link to the avatar severed without warning, its presence completely gone.

This is bad!

Thoughts racing, Zhao Sheng swiftly deduced the avatar had likely run into trouble, perhaps even “perished.”

In that instant, myriad scenarios raced through Zhao Sheng’s mind, yet the deeper he pondered, the more uneasy he grew.

He couldn’t fathom why the avatar, fresh back on Hualong Island, had met such a bizarre end.

The Divine Continent served as the Zhao Clan’s vital ancestral ground in the Ten Lands, deemed the securest haven, yet disaster struck the avatar upon arrival.

This forced Zhao Sheng into profound reflection—unless a formidable foe had breached the Divine Land Ancestral Land, or Zhao Family Ancestors had turned against him.

Still, both possibilities seemed far too improbable, virtually impossible.

Zhao Sheng racked his brains endlessly, yet the avatar’s enigmatic death remained a puzzle.

After a brief contemplation, he quelled his suspicions and softly called out, “Five Zhas, where are you? Come to me at once!”

Though whispered, his voice pierced straight to the Five Zhas’ ears.

In a flash, the Five Zhas frolicking across mountains, seas, and skies morphed into radiant streaks, hurtling toward Zhao Sheng.

Within moments, Huozha led the way, trailed by Jinzha, Muzha, and Shuizha. Tuzha lagged slightly, clutching a hefty chunk of crystal jade.

Zhao Sheng gave them brief orders, whereupon the Five Zhas reverted to true forms and merged into their Master’s frame.

Shortly thereafter, the Divine Palace Heaven plunged into dim stillness, while a secluded hidden realm flickered with sudden light.

As the glow faded, Zhao Sheng materialized there from nowhere.

Silently, a Primordial Spirit emerged from his forehead, swiftly shaping into a duplicate “Zhao Sheng.”

Having dwelt in the Unification Realm for more than three centuries, he had forged two primary avatars—one lost mysteriously, the other now before him.

Main body and avatar linked minds telepathically, needing no words for understanding.

The avatar “Zhao Sheng” cast a grave look at the true body before vanishing in a streak, reentering the outer world.

Its mission: uncover the cause of the previous avatar’s fall.

Once the avatar departed, a peculiar expression flickered across Zhao Sheng’s features.

With a soft sigh, he abruptly disappeared from the spot.

…

Centuries flew by, bringing seismic upheavals across Jixian Island.

Zhao Sheng’s arrival revealed a landscape utterly transformed and alien.

Ahead loomed towering ice peaks, rugged terrain sprawled below, and pristine ice crystals littered the ground.

Trapped within those crystals lay bizarre sealed objects, chiefly shattered corpses.

Atop a far-off ice mountain, faint figures bustled along the slopes, appearing deeply occupied.

A glint in Zhao Sheng’s eyes sparked as he rocketed skyward, speeding toward that icy peak.

Soon, he blended into the throng, slipping effortlessly into a colossal cave.

Despite centuries away, the cavern’s interior remained just as he remembered.

Ice walls bore carved niches everywhere, where scores of Immortal Ruins Guests hawked Magical Treasure shards and sundry curiosities.

Zhao Sheng scanned his surroundings, swiftly darting into the nearest cave.

Soon afterward, the cave's occupant shifted, the original one “conveniently” heading back to the Lower Realm.

Even concealed on Jixian Island, Zhao Sheng remained convinced that no one could track his location.

The Burial Immortal Ruins truly serves as the supreme refuge across All Heavens and Universes; not only is it undetectable by the Unity Tribulation, but even those ineffable colossal beings cannot breach it to pursue anyone.

Absurd!

Divines shun it—how could they possibly set foot in the Burial Immortal Ruins?

…

As Zhao Sheng lurked on Jixian Island, the avatar had stealthily made its way back to the Divine Land Ancestral Land.

After spying covertly for days, he was stunned to discover Divine Land utterly serene and undisturbed, showing no hint of irregularity.

One must understand that another avatar wields Early-stage Unification Realm might; eliminating him without any sign is nearly impossible, as tough as ascending to the heavens!

Unless… he unwittingly stepped into a perfectly sealed “space” or a colossal Great Array.

The avatar “Zhao Sheng” pondered astutely, abruptly uncovering a horrifying fact.

The other “he” had undoubtedly been lured into a Grotto Heaven.

Only in this manner could he be slain “without a trace.”

Yet, after scouring the entire Zhao Family, just four figures possess such capability: Ancestor Zhao Xuanjing along with three Unification Realm ancestors.

At this thought, “Zhao Sheng”'s heart plunged to rock bottom, gripped by overwhelming difficulty.

Thus the dilemma surfaces… precisely which one opted to attack?
