"Damn it, those bastards caught up," cursed the Black Feathered Chicken.
Chen Nan looked back and saw it was true. The warship behind them, roughly the same size as theirs and just as fast, was now less than a kilometer away.
"Chen Nan, you can't escape. No matter how much you struggle, it's futile. Surrender now!" The eight powerful figures from the Immortal Domain stood on their warship, driving it with all their strength to pursue Chen Nan. Their presence overwhelmed Chen Nan and his companions.
Although both sides had divine-level warships, Chen Nan's was slightly superior in grade.
However, the eight powerful figures from the Immortal Domain combined their power to drive their warship faster than Chen Nan's.
With the distance now reduced to eight hundred meters, the eight powerful figures from the Immortal Domain began their assault on Chen Nan.
Facing the attacks of eight immortals, Chen Nan certainly couldn't resist, so he could only maneuver his warship to dodge continuously.
"We can't keep dodging like this forever. We need to figure out a way to shake them off," suggested the Black Feathered Chicken.
Chen Nan nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, I already have a plan."
"What plan?"
"You'll see soon enough."
Chen Nan gave a wicked smile as he steered the warship towards a nearby mountain peak.
That mountain peak was the location of a sect.
Though Chen Nan didn't know which sect it was, he knew that near the Qianyuan Holy Land, these must all be their subsidiary sects.
Chen Nan piloted the warship around the top of this immortal mountain, dodging the attacks from the eight powerful figures from the Immortal Domain. All of their attacks missed him and struck the immortal mountain below.
The combined power of eight powerful figures from the Immortal Domain was terrifying!
In just one strike, half of the entire mountain was blasted away. Screams echoed as almost all the sect members perished, except for a few with high cultivation.
The destructive power of those from the Immortal Domain was simply too horrifying.
At this level, they were no longer human but immortals.
This subsidiary sect wasn't very large, but there were several thousand members who watched helplessly as the sect was destroyed by their own immortal power. The eight powerful figures from the Immortal Domain on the divine ship almost burst their noses in anger.
"Chen Nan, if I don't tear you to pieces, I won't be able to quench my anger!"
Chen Nan, without looking back, sneered as he steered the warship, "It's none of my business if your Qianyuan Holy Land wantonly slaughters subsidiary sects. Once this gets out, let's see which sects dare to align with your Qianyuan Holy Land!"
"You malicious little brat, I'm going to kill you!"
The people behind were infuriated, shouting like Shi Fanzhen, intensifying their attacks on Chen Nan.
The speed of the warship was immense, covering vast distances in an instant. Soon Chen Nan spotted another sect and flew overhead, circling above.
The eight immortals in pursuit quickly held back, reluctant to attack further.
However, even when they didn't attack, Chen Nan taunted them, hurling insults that drove the eight immortals into a rage. Unable to hold back, they attacked again, but Chen Nan evaded them, causing their immortal power to strike the mountain below, destroying another sect. Thousands more cultivators became dead spirits.
In truth, Chen Nan deliberately targeted these weaker sects since those with strong powers were not as easily dealt with, especially those with powerful figures of the Immortal Domain within. It was a riskier move.
After all, the entire Tao Realm was pursuing him, and if not for the speed of his warship, he would have likely perished hundreds of times.
Though Chen Nan continued fleeing to other sects, the eight pursuers were determined to kill him, destroying over a dozen subsidiary sects without giving up the chase.
The distance between the warships kept decreasing, and Chen Nan grew increasingly anxious, knowing he would eventually be caught.
By now, they had bypassed Qianyuan Immortal Mountain, flying ever westward.
A few hundred thousand miles ahead, their distance had closed to around five hundred meters, and the temperature of Heaven and Earth had noticeably increased, reaching sixty to seventy degrees Celsius.
Anyone not a cultivator couldn't survive these temperatures.
"Why is it getting hotter?" the big fool muttered.
Chen Nan shook his head, puzzled as he thought that heading west would lead to colder conditions, not hotter.
The Black Feathered Chicken suddenly exclaimed, "When I first came to the Tao Realm, I heard that the far west is a vast, boundless Fire Domain. This million-mile expanse is uninhabited, and those without sufficient cultivation who enter it are reduced to ashes."
Chen Nan's face changed, "So, the Fire Domain is ahead."
Casting a glance at the eight behind him, Chen Nan said, "Facing them head-on is impossible. We have no choice but to make a desperate bid for survival."
"There's no way out ahead but the Endless Fire Domain. Chen Nan, surrender the Supreme Demon Artifact, and I'll let you die a whole death," laughed a powerful figure from the Immortal Domain.
"Screw you!"
Chen Nan shouted back, cursing loudly and pushing the speed to the limit.
As the temperature rose, a red flame appeared ahead in no time. The entire Heaven and Earth were engulfed in a fiery red, endless as far as the eye could see, with roaring flames everywhere.
Without hesitation, Chen Nan piloted the warship straight into the Fire Domain, with the eight immortals in relentless pursuit.
The temperature at the Fire Domain's perimeter wasn't extremely high, about over a thousand degrees, but the further in they went, the hotter it became, with the flames gradually shifting from red to white.
After escaping tens of thousands more miles into the Fire Domain's center, the flames had fully turned white, with temperatures reaching tens of thousands of degrees.
Standing on the warship with the hatch open, Chen Nan was protected by a protective shield around the warship.
Even through this shield, Chen Nan keenly felt the terrifying temperature of the white flames.
"Chen Nan, go any further, and you're dead!"
The eight powerful figures from the Immortal Domain were growing anxious. They cared little for Chen Nan's life, only for the Supreme Demon Artifact.
"Dead either way, I have the Supreme Demon Artifact and warship to protect me. What's there to fear?" Chen Nan sneered, showing no sign of stopping as the flames began transitioning from white to blue, and the temperature soared.
The outside temperature now was tens of thousands of degrees.
The eight trailing figures gradually slowed down, even with their cultivation, this kind of temperature was unbearable.
Chen Nan also felt his warship shaking. Gripping the God Beating Whip tightly, both he and the chicken relied on the Supreme Demon Artifact for protection. Otherwise, at their level of cultivation, they would've been reduced to ashes long ago.
