Chapter 2485 Karma Comes Full Circle - The White Dragon's Tale
Scattering wealth to save one's life is an extremely sophisticated technique in the art of escape.
As long as there's no deep-seated blood feud between the parties, it's not an irreconcilable enmity. At critical moments, using wealth to ensure survival often yields impressive results.
Numerous precious and exotic treasures were ejected, many of which even Immortals would covet. These would definitely slow down the enemy's progress... or at the very least, distract them for a few crucial moments.
A few moments were all King Kun needed to make a getaway!
After all, as a Kun, it possessed the most formidable escape technique in the myriad worlds. When it transformed from Kun to Roc, its physical escape prowess was unmatched!
Just by creating some distance and escaping the spatial lockdown, Immortals could freely use spatial techniques to flee the battlefield and vanish into the myriad worlds, to disappear like a fish into the ocean.
...
King Kun's strategy of scattering wealth was a very sensible choice.
For someone like Song Shuhang, perpetually on the brink of poverty, those countless treasures were absolutely blinding.
Among the shower of exotic treasures, a small white egg gently hopped. Under the cover of these treasures, it successfully breached the defensive barrier of the scholarly faction!
This was King Kun in its current form—faced with Tyrannical Song's unbeatable strike, King Kun had resolutely chosen to 'die' and let its physical body be destroyed by the saber.
At the same time, it secretly used a precious treasure to create a new body from its old, achieving 'rebirth.'
It just hadn't anticipated Tyrannical Song's flashy maneuver, which still managed to expose its new form.
"For now, I'll abandon my wealth for survival. But when the opportunity arises in the future, once I've regained my strength, I'll definitely reclaim what I've lost!" King Kun vowed inwardly.
Losing wasn't a concern, but Kun couldn't lose its spirit! Its body could be cowardly, but its demeanor must never be!
Behind it,?White Dragon gracefully gathered the fragments of the ancient Heavenly City.
Meanwhile, as she collected the fragments, White Dragon noticed the hopping little egg. "Found you, Fellow Daoist King Kun."
Pavilion Master Chu shouted, "Fairy White Scarf, don't let it get away! Capture it!"
White Dragon was speechless.
"Too late!" thought the hopping little egg.
As White Dragon approached to collect the ancient Heavenly City fragments, the egg was already prepared for escape.
Though in the form of a small egg, its essence was concentrated within. Given some time, it could break out of its shell and transform back into a Kun. After that, just a few months would suffice for it to regain its peak condition!
With its escape plan ready, the White Dragon Fairy behind it stood no chance of catching up!
"I must admit defeat this time! But next time, I will be the victor!" The little egg of King Kun leaped powerfully into the void.
At the same time, within its shell, it transformed from Kun to Roc while instinctively executing a mighty escape technique famous in the myriad worlds!
Wings made of pure energy materialized on either side of the egg and gave the white egg an adorable look.
The Roc wings flapped and propelled the little white egg into the void.
Its speed was extraordinary!
The little white egg turned into a bolt of white lightning, soaring into the sky in the blink of an eye!
But... the speed wasn't as fast as King Kun had imagined!
"No, I should be faster, right? I'm supposed to possess one of the swiftest speeds in the myriad worlds!" King Kun was puzzled.
Though the speed of its wings was quick, this was merely the ultimate speed of a regular Roc. It was far from the godly speed of the myriad worlds' elite!
"Wait, did I lose something?" King Kun began to panic.
After being destroyed by Tyrannical Song's saber and resurrected as a little egg, it seemed to have lost something.
Memories? Abilities? Spells?
Not good... Was it the price of using the life-saving treasure that turned Kun into an egg?
Damn it, if using a treasure requires a price, why did it strip away my life-saving escape technique?
This was a total trap.
"Hey, Fellow Daoist Kun, don't rush off!" At that moment, White Dragon's voice echoed behind King Kun.
White Dragon too transformed into a bolt of white lightning and chased after King Kun.
At the same time, she waved her little claws to form a 'spatial lockdown' barrier to prevent King Kun from using spatial powers to escape.
This wasn't good; he was about to be caught!
"Fairy White Dragon, why are you so persistent? If you keep this up, I'll fight back, even at the risk of my life!" King Kun flapped its wings furiously to widen the gap between itself and the White Dragon Fairy while threatening her.
It was truly desperate and ready to risk everything!
"If you're up for risking your life, I have no objections~" White Dragon cheerfully responded. "In my current state, even if I'm blown to smithereens, I can still be reborn in the body of the Su family's little darling. If you're set on risking your life, I'm ready to explode with you."
White Dragon and the virtuous lamia, as pendants, feared no death. As long as Song Shuhang and Su Clan's Sixteen's main bodies were intact, they could recover countless times using the power of virtue of their main bodies. Hence, their outlook was exceptionally optimistic.
King Kun was left speechless.
Its only course of action now was to desperately activate the Roc wings. Simultaneously, it began hastily designing an escape technique, tailored to the wings' characteristics.
As an Immortal, King Kun's knowledge was vast. Creating a bespoke escape technique during the chase wasn't challenging.
Moreover, since White Dragon Fairy's form was a unique 'body of virtue,' there must be a distance limit from her main body.
If it could create enough distance, it would surely shake her off.
A kun and a dragon, in a relentless chase.
Two streaks of white lightning, dazzling across the sky.
"By the way, Fellow Daoist King Kun, didn't you also chase after our little white bone princess like this last time around the world?" White Dragon suddenly spoke up from behind.
"You?" King Kun's heart fluttered.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm the ancestral golden dragon of the ancient Heavenly City. Thanks for taking care of our little white bone princess, Fellow Daoist," White Dragon said, her voice filled with evident joy and cheerfulness.
"How's that possible? The Ancestral Golden Dragon is supposed to be golden!"
"I faded," White Dragon calmly replied while subtly increasing her speed.
King Kun was speechless.
No, if this continued, it would be caught!
It had to resort to its last-ditch effort.
King Kun braced itself and activated its will.
"Boom"
Behind White Dragon, at the edge of the spatial lockdown, a space door opened.
Yuan Zi from the scholarly faction appeared.
Yuan Zi's physical body was King Kun's final trump card!
