Chapter 917

The Heavenly Book, wrapped in the power of the rules, turned into a beam of light and flew away at an extremely fast speed, like a bolt of golden lightning.

"Chase!"

"Chase after it and stop the Heavenly Book!"

As soon as the Heavenly Book flew away, a loud shout came from the crowd. Then, they all turned into streams of light and chased after the Heavenly Book in the distance.

"Damn it, we can only chase after it."

Seeing this scene, Hei Ba and the others' faces were ugly to the extreme, but judging from the situation in front of them, it seemed that they could only chase forward. As for whether they could catch up, Hei Ba and the others had no confidence because a thousand years ago, the Heavenly Book was lost under such circumstances.

Several of them showed their extreme speed and went straight for the Heavenly Book. Streams of light flashed, afraid that they would be a little slower.

"Stop them, don't let these native forces come over."

"We will take the Heavenly Book, you guys stop them."

A group of spirit masters immediately ordered their subordinates to stop these native forces because these people were too cunning. In addition to being cunning, they were also more experienced, so they deliberately stopped them from moving forward.

The innate warriors who wanted to chase after the Heavenly Book immediately turned around and rushed toward the native forces with weapons in hand after hearing the words of the spirit masters.

Having their plan ruined, Hei Ba and the others were already in a state of madness, and their expressions were even more ferocious. At this moment, seeing these people dare to stop them and not let them go forward, they were immediately furious.

"Go to hell."

They shouted loudly with crazy killing intent on their faces. One after another, they did almost the same action. With a wave of their sleeves, rays of light appeared from the cuffs of their sleeves. After these rays of light appeared from the cuffs, they shook and transformed into strange beasts.

These strange beasts included tigers, leopards, lions, and wolves. In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred of them appeared. After these strange beasts appeared, they let out a shocking roar. Their cold eyes looked at the trial-takers and directly rushed toward them.

The Trial Takers' spiritual senses were unable to detect the true strength of the strange beasts in front of them. However, as Xiantian martial artists, they were very powerful. As long as they didn't encounter a spirit body, they would be invincible. Most of them weren't afraid of these strange beasts.

The strange beasts rushed over, and they all used their strongest attacks. In an instant, various energy rays flashed, and various powerful attacks fell from the sky, rushing toward the strange beasts in front of them.

Facing such an attack, the exotic beasts actually didn't dodge at all. The few that charged forward were instantly blasted apart by the energy attack.

The Xiantian Realm cultivators had mocking expressions on their faces when they saw the Exotic Beasts unable to withstand a single blow. In their opinion, not only were these Exotic Beasts unable to withstand a single blow, they were also brainless. They knew they were going to die, yet they still charged forward without hesitation.

The trial challenger was a bit surprised by the appearance of a human figure. But, he didn't stop attacking. His fierce attacks appeared once more.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The human exploded a few meters away from the trial challenger. The pride in the human's eyes grew even stronger when he destroyed his enemy so easily. But at that moment, a bright light suddenly rushed out from the explosion of energy, rushing directly toward the space between the trial challenger's eyebrows.

This happened so quickly that the trial challenger had no time to react. Caught off guard, the trial challenger was hit, and his body immediately stopped moving. Then, he felt a sharp pain in his head as a surge of energy entered his Knowledge Sea.

The same scene happened to the other trial challengers. They thought they had destroyed the other party's body, but they didn't expect the other party to have such a terrifying spiritual sense. The spiritual sense emitted a bright light that entered the trial challenger's forehead, displaying the most powerful spiritual sense attack.

The spiritual sense attack was extremely powerful. Coupled with the fact that it was caught off guard, one of the Xiantian warriors couldn't withstand it and his spiritual sense was destroyed.

After the person died, the spiritual thoughts in his Sea of Consciousness quickly emerged and successfully took control of the person's body. After that, the Trial Taker, who had been possessed in an instant, began to brandish his weapon and attack his companions beside him.

At the beginning of the battle, these trial challengers suffered great losses, but they quickly reacted and retreated after the first attack. Although they could save their lives, they couldn't stop the attack.

Hei Ba and the others also quickly chased after the Heavenly Book amidst the chaos.

Soon, Hei Ba and the others disappeared from sight. Here, the battle was still going on. Outside the melee, there were two people standing.

It was Zi Chen and the Devil Ape.

Seeing the crowd leave, Zi Chen was still indifferent. Instead, he looked ahead with a strange expression. The Devil Ape's face was full of anxiety. "If we don't chase, we won't be able to get the Heavenly Book," it said.

"Chase." Zi Chen looked at the Devil Ape. The strange expression on his face didn't diminish. "Where should we chase?"

The Devil Ape looked at Zi Chen as if he was an idiot and couldn't help but say, "Are you stupid? Of course we should chase in the direction where the Heavenly Book escaped. Let's go quickly, or it'll be too late."

Zi Chen heard it and smiled. The strange expression on his face disappeared. He then shook his head and said, "No, we should chase in the opposite direction."

"In the opposite direction." The Devil Ape was stunned.

Zi Chen nodded and said seriously, "In my perception, the Heavenly Book flew in that direction."

The Devil Ape immediately shouted, "Stupid, stupid, you must be stupid. Zi Chen, you're stupid. I just used the Delusion-breaker Eye to see the Heavenly Book flying in that direction, and the spirits are chasing in that direction. You're really stupid."

Zi Chen didn't explain further. Instead, he grabbed the Devil Ape and said, "Let's go quickly. If we don't go now, we won't be able to catch up."

With that, Zi Chen took the Devil Ape and flew in the opposite direction.

During this time, several Trial Takers saw Zi Chen fly away and their faces suddenly showed strange expressions. Obviously, they had heard the conversation between Zi Chen and the Devil Ape.

One of the Trial Takers suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Damn it, we fell into a trap. This Zi Chen isn't looking for the Heavenly Book, he's running away."

Another person also realized, "That's right, he must have taken the opportunity to run away. Damn it, this guy is really cunning."

The third person shouted, "Then why are we wasting our energy here? Let's go after them quickly."

The others nodded and then abandoned the Exotic Beasts. They turned and chased in the direction Zi Chen and the Devil Ape went.

Soon, there were no traces of the Trial Takers, but the remaining Exotic Beasts didn't chase after Hei Ba and the others. Instead, they went in the opposite direction. No one knew if they were chasing after the Trial Takers or Zi Chen.

In the process of flying, the Devil Ape also quickly learned of Zi Chen's intention. He chuckled, "So you want us to run away."

Zi Chen glared at the Devil Ape and said, "Run away? We're going to look for the Heavenly Book."

A knowing smile appeared on the Devil Ape's face as it nodded repeatedly, indicating that it understood. Obviously, in its opinion, Zi Chen didn't want to admit that he was afraid that the spirits would escape, so he found such a high-sounding reason.

However, in this way, they would be far away from the Spirits and would no longer be in danger. Although there was no danger, they still missed the Heavenly Book.

The Devil Ape didn't know how important the Heavenly Book was to others, but he knew that this page of the Heavenly Book was extremely important to Zi Chen. Because with this page of the Heavenly Book, Zi Chen could combine the Human Scroll of the Heavenly Book, and his Essence, Qi, and Spirit would reach perfection and break through to the Human Realm. He would be the strongest in the Human Realm.

However, the Devil Ape couldn't understand Zi Chen's abnormal behavior today. He took the initiative to give up the Heavenly Book.

Since he couldn't figure it out, the Devil Ape could only follow Zi Chen. However, as they flew, the Devil Ape realized that something was wrong. Zi Chen wasn't leading him in the direction they came from, but in the opposite direction of the Heavenly Book. During this period, Zi Chen changed directions several times. Sometimes, he even led the Devil Ape in circles. Looking at his serious face, he didn't look like he was running away at all. It seemed that he was really looking for something.

"Is it possible? Is the Heavenly Book really here?" The Devil Ape looked serious for the first time.

Because they took a few more turns halfway, the other Xiantian Realm warriors caught up with them. When they were still some distance away from Zi Chen, they shouted loudly. As for the content of their shouts, it was nothing more than disgusting words like "Don't run, fight with the Spirits if you have the ability".

Soon, a series of roars came from behind. It was the strange beasts and humans who had caught up. The Devil Ape didn't have a good impression of these strange beasts and humans. He couldn't help but scold, "Humans imitate beasts. You're neither human nor beast."

Zi Chen ignored them. He went in circles and turned corners. Behind him, the Xiantian Realm warriors were puzzled when they saw Zi Chen's strange behavior. However, they were afraid of Zi Chen's battle strength and could only follow behind. They didn't dare to rush forward.

Under the cover of the rules, the Heavenly Book flew in a straight line. Behind them, the Spirits chased desperately, even at the expense of their life essence. A page of the Heavenly Book was really precious. Everyone was desperately chasing after it.

During this period, almost everyone showed their peak speed, but even their subversive speed was still a little short of obtaining the Heavenly Book.

Behind them, Hei Ba and the others quickly caught up. After they caught up, they released the strange beasts again, wanting to stop the Spirits. However, these Spirits were all in the Human Origin Realm. Their battle strength was unimaginable. As soon as the strange beasts rushed over, they were killed by the Spirits.

This kind of killing was done by the Spirits. It was very decisive.

In addition to Hei Ba and the others, the Spirits were also secretly competing with the others. It was either you sneak attack me, or I take the opportunity to attack you.

Because of this, they couldn't catch up with the Heavenly Book.

Just as this kind of infighting continued, the power of the rules on the Heavenly Book suddenly increased. Along the way, not only did the power of the rules not decrease, but it increased. This made the people who noticed this puzzled.

When Hei Ba and the others saw this, their faces changed drastically. "Stop fighting. Quickly break the power of the rules on the Heavenly Book. Otherwise, it will disappear."
