The search continued.

Meanwhile, Six-Winged was recovering rapidly. His life force and vigor grew steadily as he smiled with satisfaction. His body had suffered from his years of slumber, but at the very least, he was able to stabilize his cultivation level.

With the recovery of his body, he only needed to reconnect to his dao and take some time adapting to return to his peak condition.

Golden Fire Marquis, who had been forced to reconnect with his dao right after awakening, had most definitely damaged his body heavily from doing so. It was likely that he would need to put a lot of effort into repairing his body after this.

After a short wait and noticing that Six-Winged was recovering well, Venerable Moon smiled and said, "Brother Six-Winged, you're recovering well. After taking some time adapting to your new strength, you might be able to take another step forward."

"That won't be easy." Six-Winged shook his head, "I am no longer cultivating my original dao. My current dao feels loose and empty."

He smiled and continued, "But we're fine here since you're strong enough. I'm looking forward to returning and meeting some old friends. Just let me know if I'm needed anywhere.

"Just go ahead with your task, Brother Eclipse Moon. I only need some time to adapt to my healed body. I'm looking forward to seeing more of our old friends. Who knows? Maybe there are more of us around."

Venerable Moon was all smiles as he continued his search. The rest returned to their positions as well.

Divine Frost Marquis, who was busy controlling a Myriad Power Tower, smiled and said, "Brother Six-Winged, join me. This is a new creation, known as the Myriad Power Tower. Let's experience its prowess."

Curious, Six-Winged smiled and flew over. He was already starting to reconnect with his dao. His body had recovered considerably. The moment he reconnected with his dao, he would be able to regain the strength of a heavenly king.

Slowly, his aura surged as he reconnected with his dao. Sensing his surging aura, Divine Frost Marquis said, "Brother, you will be stronger than me after recovering. No wonder Venerable Moon said that you might be able to take another step forward. Perhaps our divine race will gain another Venerable before long."

"You jest."

Six-Winged smiled. Everyone loved being praised, but he knew himself well. Further advancement would be quite difficult.

At the moment, he was feeling slightly uncomfortable. As the dao power entered his body, he continued regaining his strength. But suddenly, an intrusive thought appeared in his mind, telling him to kill Divine Frost Marquis.

He was alarmed at the appearance of such a thought. What joke was this? Back then, he was quite close to Divine Frost Marquis. Why would such a thought appear in his mind? However, such thoughts continued emerging in his mind.

Kill!

Kill every living being he could see!

He felt as though countless voices were whispering at him to kill all these people, telling him that all these people deserved death.

After his recovery, he was stronger than Bonewing Marquis. Thus, he did not lose his mind as quickly as Bonewing Marquis had. But the more dao power he took inside his body, the more murderous he felt. In comparison, Bonewing Marquis hadn't even absorbed too much of his dao power before losing control.

More and more dao power was absorbed into Six-Winged body.

His aura continued growing.

At that point, he was already right in front of Divine Frost Marquis. Sensing his surging aura, Divine Frost Marquis said, "If it wasn't for your previous injury, our race would have gained another Venerable by now..."

The Daofuses around them nodded in agreement. All of them were smiling cheerfully. They were all happy to see the addition of another expert to their ranks.

Suppressing the growing murderous intent in his mind, Six-Winged said, "You praise me too much."

However, he was starting to find Divine Frost Marquis' smile repulsive.

That was not a smile. That was a sneer! Divine Frost Marquis was sneering at him for injuring himself back then! Eclipse Moon Marquis, who was weaker than him back then, was already a Venerable. Meanwhile, he was still so weak.

"Kill this repulsive man! Kill them all!"

"They are all sneering at me! They want to see me dead! Yes, they're trying to kill me!"

"Brother Six-Winged?" Divine Frost Marquis looked over doubtfully. What was going on?

Six-Winged's expression was slowly turning unsightly. Was he still recovering from the effects of extended seclusion?

"I'm...fine..."

The look of concern on Divine Frost Marquis' face seemed so fake.

Ahead of them, Venerable Moon looked back and said, "Six-Winged, feel free to rest if you're not feeling well. I can even send a few escorts to take you to the Myriad Race Mountain."

Venerable Moon was as vile as the rest!

Escorting him to the Myriad Race Mountain? What was the meaning of that? Was the escort meant to protect him? Or was the escort meant to kill him when nobody was looking? Were they trying to remove him because he was a threat to the current order?

With such thoughts in mind, he continued approaching Divine Frost Marquis. After flashing Divine Frost Marquis a smile, six wings unfurled behind him.

Hum!

The six wings flashed forward like six sharp blades.

Boom!

A head with a confused expression was sent flying into the sky. Even dead, Divine Frost Marquis couldn't understand what was happening.

Why?

Why did Six-Winged kill him?

Had Six-Winged gone mad?

With another flash, the head was sliced into countless pieces, including the exposed sea of willpower. Before the other divines could react, even more heads were sent flying. A heavenly king had gone mad right in their midst when none of them was expecting it. Nobody could react in time.

These ancient marquises mostly followed the Weapon Fusion Method. They wouldn't be at their peak strength before drawing their weapons, and they were currently relaxed. In the blink of an eye, four of them were killed on top of Divine Frost Marquis.

Venerable Moon, who was in the middle of speaking, blanked out slightly. Then, he roared with both fury and shock, "Six-Winged, what are you doing?"

However, Six-Winged merely shot away with his eyes red. He had chosen to flee instead of attacking Venerable Moon. Even upon losing his mind, his instincts were still telling him to avoid an opponent he couldn't beat.

Run!

His instincts were screaming at him to first escape before finding a chance to kill them.

Hum!

As he flapped his six wings, he instantly moved far away, leaving four blooming fireworks behind him. The confused and furious Venerable Moon started giving chase.

"Damn it! Curse you!" He roared, "Thunderstorm!"

Thunderstorm, who was greatly surprised, said, "This is an internal affair of your race. You need to handle it yourself. I'll continue the search. We can't allow anyone to escape while we're not around, right?"

Damn it!

Venerable Moon was furious.

But he had no choice but to continue giving chase. He had treated Six-Winged kindly, to the extent of providing Six-Winged with the treasures for recovery. He even offered to send Six-Winged to the Myriad Race Mountain safely.

In response, Six-Winged had killed Divine Frost Marquis and the others.

Damn it!

As he gave chase, Venerable Scrape and the others looked at each other with doubt.

Venerable Scrape was frowning deeply. Earlier, Bonewing Marquis had gone mad. And now, Six-Winged had gone mad as well. Was there a relationship between the two?

At that thought, he said, "March, continue the search. The rest of you, stay and assist. I'll go and take a look at what's going on."

He did not take everyone with him since he didn't want to give March the chance to slack off during his absence.

Six-Winged was very fast. He was worried that Venerable Moon wouldn't be able to catch up. He was more than happy to enjoy this internal drama of the divine race, but things were looking too suspicious. He had to do something.

Why were these buried experts losing their minds one after another?

***

Far away, Su Yu was gasping.

Well well.

That divine expert was able to maintain his reason even after losing his mind. From his surging aura, it was clear that he had started killing after some recovery. More importantly, his mind was clear enough for him to flee after killing several experts.

Su Yu could see the two beams moving rapidly into the distance. One belonged to Six-Winged, and the other belonged to Venerable Moon.

Su Yu's eyes flickered. Should he link up with March and kill the ones left behind? Nope. The other Venerables were still around.

Su Yu licked his lips as he estimated the trajectory of the two beams of light. Venerable Moon looked furious. Had he decided to kill the divine traitor? Would this be an opportunity to get a Venerable killed?

Perhaps...

Numerous thoughts surfaced in Su Yu's mind.

He tore a rift in the air and entered the river again. With everyone's attention occupied, he rushed toward Six-Winged's dao. Before long, he reached his destination.

"Flee northwest! That is the only safe path!"

Su Yu started sending wave after wave of dao power toward the tributary, interfering with Six-Winged's choices. The Chaos Mountain was located to the west. As for the northwest, it was near the phoenix territory.

Su Yu was unsure if this would really work, but he was unbothered. However, it would likely work. After all, Six-Winged had absorbed a large amount of dao power into his body. His mind was no longer working well, and he would probably treat these intrusive thoughts as a sort of enlightenment by his dao.

***

Before long, Su Yu exited the river.

Then, he started moving out of the Dao Origin Land. While moving, he sent Lan Tian a message.

"Head northwest and wait near the phoenix territory."

Su Yu had discovered that this would be a good chance to kill Venerable Moon, provided Venerable Moon continued the pursuit. If he could get a Venerable killed, he was more than willing to ignore the Dao Origin Land for now.

With one Venerable missing, even the ongoing sweep through the Upper Realm would be slowed.

***

At the same time.

Myriad Race Mountain.

The various experts were frowning. Seven clumps of fireworks had bloomed at the east in a short amount of time. Among them, Bonewing Marquis and Divine Frost Marquis were both heavenly kings.

What was going on? They had barely started the search. Why had so many experts died so soon?

The three Venerables in charge of watching over the Chaos Mountain were all confused. They couldn't help but start feeling uneasy. Did the sweeping party encounter a powerful opposition?

***

Chaos Mountain.

Beyond the Chaos Forest, Yue Hao and the others were staring at the sky with odd expressions. Yue Hao chuckled and said, "Did they dig up some slumber human experts during the search and start a large battle out of nowhere?"

"That's good for us."

"Looks like the myriad races are going to lose even more experts."

Yue Hao smiled cheerfully. The myriad races had been losing people left and right as of late. This was a good thing for them.

As for the identities of the discovered experts, it did not matter to him. They wouldn't lose anything either way. For Control King's lineage, this was merely a good show for them to enjoy.

***

Meanwhile, Su Yu was busy following the two experts.

He did not follow them in a straight line as he could feel that Venerable Scrape was also following the two.

"Two Venerables since Venerable Scrape is here as well."

Su Yu raised his brow. That would complicate things. How should he send all these people into the Chaos Mountain? His best course of action was to send these people to the Chaos Mountain and have them fight those from Control King's lineage.

Unfortunately, Su Yu had yet to discover the hiding place of Control King's lineage. Perhaps it was time for him to start using the spatial tunnels of the spatial beast race.

The three were moving quickly. In fact, they were moving faster than Su Yu. Six-Winged specialized in speed, while the two Venerables were fast simply because of their cultivation level. Su Yu was the one lagging behind.

However, Su Yu was in no rush since he could easily catch up through the spatial tunnels of the spatial beast race. As planned, Six-Winged was moving toward the northwest.

"I guess I'll see what happens before making a move."

Su Yu was in no rush to act.

If an opportunity to get a Venerable killed were to arise, he would take it even if he couldn't frame Control King's lineage for it. After all, the value of such an enemy was too high to be discarded.

The mad Six-Winged would prove helpful for this task. And thus, the pursuit continued. That little bit of clarity remaining in Six-Winged's mind had allowed Su Yu to do more than get some Daofuses killed.
