This was not the kind of divine ability of a top-level grand cultivator who could create thousands of incarnations and tens of thousands of Dharmic bodies; instead, it was an extremely strange transformation that Qin Cang completely failed to comprehend!

The two Drifting Empresses just now were certainly not her true body, nor were they any kind of projections. Qin Cang believed they were nothing but a persistent obsession, split in two. They could temporarily possess the full fighting strength of the Drifting Empress. But given time, they would surely dissipate like smoke and clouds.

Yet unexpectedly, when he turned his head back, the Drifting Empress had dealt him a fierce slap!

The two became one, and actually formed a living... flesh and blood, truly supreme being with an astonishingly impressive aura!

The Drifting Empress did not answer him, merely gazing at him with cold, distant eyes. Those pure eyes conveyed undisguised disdain.

"Nine Lives Technique... is, is this the Nine Lives Technique? How could you possibly have cultivated the Nine Lives Technique to such an extent? The Nine Lives Technique is a Supreme Art... how, how could you possibly have cultivated it to surpass the supreme level?" Qin Cang, after all, was himself a supreme practitioner—his vision was quite high and his perception extraordinary.

He finally confirmed which divine ability the other party had employed.

But he simply could not believe it. When had a Supreme Art become so terrifying?

The Drifting Empress looked at Qin Cang with scorn and said indifferently, "No matter what the technique, they are all created by people in the end. It's merely the creation of methods, nothing difficult. A piece of trash like you will never understand."

With that, the Drifting Empress struck before Qin Cang could go into a rage.

Once she made her move, she overshadowed the sky and suppressed all beings!

Even if Qin Cang had fully recovered, he might not have been able to withstand her strike!

This was a true technique that had surpassed the supreme level!

It was infinitely close to saint arts!

Crack!

The supreme bones in Qin Cang's body finally couldn't withstand this terrifying Great Dao principle and began to split, emitting a thunderous noise. Like a mountain collapsing!

Slap!

The Drifting Empress delivered a harsh slap to Qin Cang's face.

"A millennium ago, you should have died! A family like a bunch of shrinking turtles! Since you chose to shrink back, then keep shrinking forever. Who allowed you to stick your heads out? And you even dare to collude with the Demon Clan..."

Slap!

Another slap!

A supreme power, being thrashed outright!

This scene, unseen by anyone—if there had been witnesses, they likely would have been scared to death.

Qin Cang had been completely stupefied by the Drifting Empress's two slaps; countless forces of laws bombarded his own Dao, causing him to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.

The Drifting Empress's two slaps were too ruthless!

They embodied all of her Dao cultivation.

Despite her entry into the Dao having come countless years after Qin Cang, she had surpassed her master and become superior—the blue dye derived from the indigo plant surpasses its source in hue. Her talent, her Dao cultivation, were all too terrifying. Otherwise, how could she possibly go against the heavens and live through three epochs? If it were Qin Cang, he would have surely perished after two epochs!

This was the disparity!

Therefore, it was shocking but not unthinkable that Qin Cang, a practitioner at the Supreme Realm, was being thrashed.

It was because the Drifting Empress was too horrifying!

She could be called the most stunning cultivator in the recent history of the Yanhuang region.

Boom!

The Drifting Empress delivered another vicious palm strike onto Qin Cang's chest.

It emitted a sound akin to the collision of stars.

Spit!

Qin Cang directly spat out another mouthful of fresh blood.

His eyes still full of shock and disbelief.

Following that, his body suddenly burst open, turning into endless essence blood and forming a mist of blood... fleeing towards the distance!

He finally felt fear!

Fear of this terrifying woman whose true identity, whether she was the real body or a clone, was unknown. Fear of her unparalleled Dao cultivation.

Had they been from the same era, and if they had ever met, he probably wouldn't have even entertained the thought of fighting her!

The Chu Clan lineage, all freaks of nature!

The Drifting Empress stood in the void, watching Qin Cang fleeing far away using the Blood Escape Technique, but she did not pursue him. Instead, she stood there pensively and muttered to herself, "This old fellow, he's already deeply demonic. He actually cultivated the Demon Clan's Blood Escape Technique."

Then, the figure of the Drifting Empress instantly collapsed, transforming into boundless essence energy and dissipating into the vast expanse between Heaven and Earth.

Whoosh!

A beam of blood-red light, moving at an inconceivable speed, hurtled back and, in a moment, reformed into the figure of Qin Cang. His face ashen, he couldn't help but look up at the vast essence energy all around him and let out an enraged roar to the sky, "Meng Fanghua, that woman... you great deceiver! I, Qin Cang... will never rest until you're dead!"

The words of a supreme being are as powerful as the law itself, turning into edicts once spoken!

The void thundered, and the oath was already imprinted upon the Heavenly Dao.

Qin Cang, immediately regretting his words after saying them, watched his vow be engraved in the Heavenly Dao, his expression turning exceedingly ugly.

Because by now, he was almost certain that the Drifting Empress, Meng Fanghua... was still alive!

Alive in this world!

Otherwise, just a clone without the support of the real person's will, could never emit such terrifying power.

Qin Cang not only knew that Meng Fanghua was still alive, but he also knew she was definitely much stronger than himself!

It was the fact he least wanted to admit but had to acknowledge.

Her Dao cultivation was too profound; a clone condensed from essence energy not only deceived his perception but had even suppressed him! If her real self were here, he probably wouldn't have had the chance to use the Blood Escape Technique.

Yet, he had just sworn an oath to pursue her to the death... It was obviously the kind of thing one would only say if their mind were addled.

Qin Cang wished he could slap himself, cursing his own stupidity. In a moment of extreme anger, he had blurted out such a rash oath. It seemed that sealing himself for so many years had also sealed his brain into malfunction.

The urgent priority was not even to kill Chu Mo anymore, but rather to guard against the possible appearance of the real Drifting Empress!

Grinding his teeth with hatred, Qin Cang flew towards the outer regions far from the Heavenly Realm; he was going to find the Blood Demon Ancestor! He had to make contact with the Demon Clan now!

Only by leading the Demon Clan's great army over could he completely rid himself of the threat posed by the Drifting Empress.

A supreme being reduced to this state... there was no need to talk about the frustration.

Qin Cang, throughout his journey, spat out mouthfuls of blood.

Chu Mo, too, spat out blood along the way; however, unlike Qin Cang, he did not feel such frustration. Instead, his heart was filled with relief at having survived a catastrophe.

Moreover, he wasn't worried about any problems with the Drifting Empress. Before he had fled, the sky-mirror divination had provided him with information about the Drifting Empress—a mere strand of essence energy!

Although Chu Mo was shocked at the time, he believed it instantly. Not only because he trusted the sky-mirror divination but also because he had truly seen the real Drifting Empress himself. He knew clearly that she had buried her own body in the Ruins of Return. It was impossible for her true self to appear here!

Therefore, Chu Mo ran without any pressure.

On his way, Chu Mo pushed his Dao cultivation to the extreme, while continuously employing the Fengshui Divine Art to obliterate the divine sense Qin Cang had left behind, and he did so on a large scale. Otherwise, doing so would have been equivalent to giving Qin Cang a clear path to follow.

There was no alternative, Qin Cang, in his search, had almost turned this corner of Heaven and Earth upside down, leaving behind an abundance of divine sense marks.

Finally, to err on the side of caution, Chu Mo still employed the Ground Entering Blood Moon, traveling through the depths of the earth with the Entering Earth divine ability and escaping completely as if he were smoke.

In fact, after the clone formed by the Drifting Empress's condensed essence energy collapsed, if Qin Cang had still wanted to pursue and kill Chu Mo single-mindedly, Chu Mo would still have found it difficult to truly escape.

The power of a supreme being, unsurpassed in Heaven and Earth, was too formidable!

Yet Qin Cang was slightly frightened by the Drifting Empress; he truly feared that while pursuing Chu Mo, another such clone might appear. Then, he would have to use the Blood Escape Technique once again, which would come at a considerable cost!

Therefore, while Chu Mo desperately fled, Qin Cang was fleeing as well!

In the end, Chu Mo didn't even know where he was. It seemed to be a completely new territory, a place he had never set foot in before. Anyway, he had long since fled far beyond the range of Qin Cang's divine sense coverage.

A city appeared before him, and after Chu Mo made out the writing on the city gate plaque, he was momentarily stunned.

It read—Divine Pill City!
