The spiritual artifact self-destructs, requiring sufficient Qi Energy; without enough Qi Energy, it cannot be detonated. Moreover, the more abundant the Qi Energy at the moment of detonation, the greater the power unleashed. However, once a spiritual artifact self-destructs, it is completely shattered and turned to nothingness. Few strong individuals possess the resolve to detonate their own spiritual artifacts. After all, each spiritual artifact represents a significant fortune, and warriors in the Alchemy Realm cannot afford to squander many spiritual artifacts, especially high-grade ones.
However, Fang Chen is different; these spiritual artifacts are merely trophies he obtained from defeating others. Since they were never his to begin with, he feels no pain in self-destructing them. Furthermore, with the Blood River Sword in his possession, he no longer needs these items.
"Using spiritual artifacts to block Wang Chaoyang is not a viable solution. I must find a way to completely shake him off; otherwise, I will eventually be caught."
Fang Chen muttered to himself. Although the situation was dire, he remained clear-headed. While self-destructing spiritual artifacts had temporarily stalled Wang Chaoyang, his own supply of spiritual artifacts was not infinite and would eventually run out. When that time comes, what would he use to contend with Wang Chaoyang?
"Instant Transmission Talisman!" A glimmer of brilliance flashed in Fang Chen's eyes. At this moment, this was the only thing he had that could help him escape Wang Chaoyang's pursuit. However, Fang Chen's brow furrowed again.
If the Instant Transmission Talisman were truly so effective at evading Wang Chaoyang, he wouldn't have wasted a high-grade spiritual artifact and would have used it long ago. The Instant Transmission Talisman is not infallible; in such an unstable void, it is nearly impossible to activate. This means that if he were to use the Instant Transmission Talisman, he could no longer rely on self-destructing spiritual artifacts to block Wang Chaoyang.
Not using self-destructing artifacts would mean that Fang Chen could not hold out until the Instant Transmission Talisman fully activated. After all, there is a brief buffer period every time it is activated. For Fang Chen at this moment, that period is extremely perilous and could allow Wang Chaoyang to catch up and force him to stay.
"Die!"
At that moment, behind him, Wang Chaoyang's shout echoed again. Simultaneously, a surge of Thunder Power that made Fang Chen's scalp tingle rushed toward him.
Without looking back, Fang Chen frantically injected Qi Energy into the Medium-Grade Spirit Tool in his hand and then hurled it away.
"Boom!"
The second spiritual artifact self-destructed.
Faintly in his ears came Wang Chaoyang's curses as Fang Chen once again took advantage of the explosive Qi Energy generated by the self-detonation of the spiritual artifact to flee wildly.
Fang Chen and Wang Chaoyang engaged in a rapid chase and escape across countless locations; their tremendous momentum gradually drew the attention of some people along their path.
"Um? Isn't that Brother Wang Chaoyang from the Crimson Bright Sect?"
A young man, exuding a murderous aura and resembling a drawn sword, suddenly looked up at the figures in the air, one chasing and the other fleeing, with a look of surprise, murmuring to himself.
He then shifted his gaze from Wang Chaoyang to Fang Chen, a flicker of doubt passing through his eyes: "Only at the Qi Boundary level? Who is this person?"
It was indeed strange for a strong Primordial Embryo Realm cultivator from the Crimson Bright Sect to be chasing after someone at the Qi Boundary level. However, in the next moment, the disciple from Jincheng Sect's expression sharpened, and a fiery excitement appeared on his face as he stared intently at the Lava Demon Heart in Fang Chen's hand, his breath quickening.
At that moment, Wang Chaoyang clearly noticed this young man as well. A flash of joy crossed his face, and he called out loudly, "Is that a junior brother from Jincheng Sect ahead? Please help me stop this thief. I will reward you handsomely!"
Whoosh!
It was unclear whether Wang Chaoyang's words moved him or if it was because of the Lava Demon Heart in Fang Chen's hand. The disciple from Jincheng Sect shot up into the sky instantly, swiftly heading toward Fang Chen.
"Not good!"
Fang Chen's heart sank, and his expression changed drastically.
Just dealing with Wang Chaoyang had already left him exhausted and required him to detonate spiritual artifacts from time to time to maintain a relatively safe distance. If another disciple from Jincheng Sect joined in... Although normally Fang Chen wouldn't be too flustered by a disciple who hadn't reached the Primordial Embryo Realm, with Wang Chaoyang pursuing him from behind and now this newcomer appearing... Deadlock!
This was almost an insurmountable deadlock! Given Fang Chen's strength, facing off against the Jincheng Sect disciple would make it difficult for him to escape in a short time, during which Wang Chaoyang could catch up multiple times.
Without time to think further, Fang Chen clenched his hands again and took out another spiritual artifact. As his Qi Energy surged wildly within him, he infused it all into the artifact before detonating it and hurling it fiercely at the approaching Jincheng Sect disciple.
"Run!"
At the moment he threw out the spiritual weapon, Fang Chen's body abruptly twisted in mid-air, avoiding the direction aimed at the Jincheng Sect disciple and instead hurriedly fleeing towards another location.
Boom...
The spiritual weapon exploded in mid-air, transforming into a rolling Frenzy Qi Energy that swept out in all directions. Faced with such a powerful attack, the Jincheng Sect disciple had no choice but to freeze momentarily, struggling to defend himself, helplessly watching as Fang Chen escaped.
"I want to see just how many more spiritual weapons you have left to self-destruct," behind him, Wang Chaoyang observed this scene without much surprise. A fierce look flashed across his face as he continued to chase madly.
"Damn it!" Amidst the swirling dust and Frenzy Qi Energy, a somewhat disheveled figure suddenly shot out.
This person was the Jincheng Sect disciple who had previously attempted to intercept Fang Chen. However, now, as he looked at Fang Chen and Wang Chaoyang, who were almost reduced to two small black dots in his line of sight, the expression on the Jincheng Sect disciple's face turned extremely grim. He realized that not only was Wang Chaoyang fast, but even Fang Chen's speed was not any slower than his own.
Grinding his teeth, this person revealed an unwilling expression and moved again to follow from a distance.
"Faster, faster..." Feeling the chilling aura closing in behind him once more, Fang Chen had already prepared another spiritual weapon in his hand, but the anxious look on his face grew increasingly intense.
Most of the spiritual weapons in his storage space were obtained through slaughter; although there were quite a few, they were not endless. If this continued, there would eventually come a time when they would be completely exhausted. Moreover, under such grand circumstances, more and more people would be drawn in. What would happen if someone discovered that he held a Lava Demon Heart from the Primordial Embryo Realm? The previous Jincheng Sect disciple was a perfect example of that.
