“Now, there’s only the male body of Fiend Ancestor Black Lotus.” Nüwa looked into the distance and saw Gautama and Amita dealing with Fiend Ancestor’s male body.

“Oh?”

Nüwa’s expression suddenly changed. “No good!”

She could sense from afar the auras of Gautama, Amita, and Fiend Ancestor’s male body, but suddenly, another Fiend Ancestor aura appeared within the male body’s aura, one far stronger.

“Two Fiend Ancestor auras? The Fiend Ancestor has a fourth avatar?” Nüwa turned anxious as she immediately tore through space-time to rush over.

However, back when Fiend Ancestor fled, the three avatars had fled in three different directions. It made the three battlegrounds rather distant from each other.

Although Nüwa and the Three Pure Ones had sensed the changes and immediately rushed over, it was obvious it would take them several seconds to arrive.

With the strength of Heavenly Dao existences, several seconds was just too long.

Heavenly realm, Mt. Lightning Roar.

Ever since his master and the rest left to pursue Fiend Ancestor, Qin Yun was waiting for the results. Regardless if the pursuit succeeded or failed, his master and the rest would inform the Three Realms.

After all, if Fiend Ancestor remained alive, Qin Yun had to be especially careful when he entered the Chaos.

“Oh?” Qin Yun, who was sitting cross-legged on a grass patch, sensed something and looked up.

A will descended from afar and stopped above Mt. Lightning Roar. It condensed to form a black-robed, black-haired elder’s phantom, and it was none other than Numinous Treasure Dao Ancestor’s embodiment.

Qin Yun immediately got up. “Master.”

“An accident happened during our pursuit of Fiend Ancestor Black Lotus.” Numinous Treasure wore a heavy expression.

“Accident?” Qin Yun was alarmed.

“Black Lotus’s three avatars fled in the three different directions,” said Numinous Treasure. “Us Daoist Three Pure Ones joined forces to destroy his strongest destruction body and Nüwa killed his female body. Gautama and Amita joined forces for the male body! But little did we expect that… at a critical point, a fourth avatar would fly out of the male body. The fourth avatar was extremely powerful, nearly matching the destruction body in strength. It was even more adept when it came to fleeing.

“The two avatars did not have any wish to fend his enemies off; all he wanted was to flee! Gautama and Amita failed to stop him completely. They spared no expense to kill the Fiend Ancestor’s male body, but the fourth avatar managed to flee.”

Qin Yun could not help but ask, “How does Fiend Ancestor have a fourth avatar?”

“According to our guesses,” Numinous Treasure said, “Black Lotus had obtained a Lotus Seed of Fate from Zhurong. His real body… was originally a black lotus born out of a Lotus Seed of Fate! As long as he wishes, he can use a Lotus Seed of Fate to produce another body. Back then, Black Lotus had split his real body into three—the female body, the male body, and the destruction body. And this new body he produced with the Lotus Seed of Fate is the best at escaping. It tore through space-time so extremely quickly that even Amita who had just broken through couldn’t catch up. Among us, only Elderly Lord’s speed could barely keep up.”

“Did he manage to catch up?” asked Qin Yun.

“His body must have specially prepared to become a form meant for fleeing. It’s good at hiding his aura and tearing through the void. Furthermore, it can scatter his aura to confuse us,” said Numinous Treasure. “As long as the distance is even a little far, we will not be able to sense his aura. Thankfully, Gautama spared no expenses to heavily injure him, sending his powers through the entire body. It will probably take him several years to completely dispel Gautama’s powers.

“During this period, we will be able to sense his location.

“However, he has already fled extremely far and his fleeing abilities are truly impressive. Gautama, Amita, and us met up together and are in pursuit,” said Numinous Treasure. “If he is caught before he finishes dispelling Gautama’s powers, he’s doomed. But if he were to dispel Gautama’s powers first, he would truly succeed in fleeing.”

Qin Yun nodded slightly.

Using a Lotus Seed of Fate to specially produce an avatar meant for escaping?

The Fiend Ancestor had truly thought of every means possible in order to survive.
