It was evident that some forces were deliberately spreading information about Cao Zhen and Xiang Ziyu.

For a moment, the entire Outer Heaven Battlefield was abuzz with discussions about them, talking about what geniuses they were and the heights they might achieve in the future.

After swimming underwater for roughly seven days, Cao Zhen finally changed his appearance and assumed the form of a Human.

He also put on a mask, because those Sky Clan cultivators had already seen him in his Kun form, so it was better to appear as a Human. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

However, there was one issue: how was he discovered?

Over those seven days, he also observed his disciples through the China Cloud Observatory, and discovered that Linghu Gudu was still with the Vast Universe Immortal Monarch and others, and they seemed to be fine.

Moreover, Ju E and her companions had even less reason to betray him, so clearly it wasn’t them. The Sky Clan must have had some means to discover his location.

Although the traitor of the Sky Clan, Immortal Lord Yan Qi, stated that within the Sky Clan, no cultivator knew the whereabouts of the Seventh Prince, in truth, there were indeed strong figures within the Sky Clan who knew where the Seventh Prince was headed, like the royals of the Sky Clan.

So, upon discovering the Seventh Prince’s death, the Sky Clan dispatched strong warriors.

This likelihood was extremely high! But the problem was, they even knew his identity.

He had always been in disguise without showing his true face; how did they know who he was?

Could it be that they possessed a special Treasure that could see through everything?

If that’s the case, wouldn’t he be in great danger?

How could he continue to live freely in the future?

However, if they really had such a Treasure, back then in the Immortality Regainment Realm battlefield, with so many cultivators dispatched to kill him, none knew who he really was.

Why didn’t they use that Treasure back then?

Was it because at that time, his threat wasn’t significant enough? Or perhaps, there were some limitations to using that Treasure.

Or maybe...

When he fought with the Seventh Prince back then, he couldn’t use his immortal energy, making some of his Treasures and Art of Transformation useless.

So, he only relied on a Human Skin Mask to disguise himself, which was why the enemy discovered his identity?

But where did the enemy see him?

Despite employing all disguise techniques, he decided to be more low-key; after the attack, he couldn’t afford to act so recklessly anymore.

Cao Zhen continued swimming through the sea. Now the entire Killing Battlefield had turned into an ocean, which was truly incredible. He wondered if the water wouldn’t flow to other places. There should be lower terrains, right?

Or perhaps, the current Killing Battlefield was like a basin, with invisible walls on all sides keeping the water contained, forcing it to flow only within the Killing Battlefield?

Luckily, this was the Killing Battlefield, and ordinary True Immortal Realms wouldn’t enter here, so it wouldn’t severely impact the cultivators within the Killing Battlefield.

At most, those cultivators focusing on Fire Qi would be significantly affected, for instance, someone who had clearly cultivated...

If this were the mortal world suddenly turned like this, what a catastrophe it would be!

Cao Zhen pondered as he continued swimming forward.

With the entire Killing Battlefield turning into a vast sea, some cultivators chose to fly into the Void, while others wrapped themselves in immortal energy to move ahead below.

In fact, the current Killing Battlefield was more dangerous than before.

In the previous Killing Battlefield, there were many places with grass taller than a person, where one could conceal their aura while advancing, making it not so easy for other cultivators to detect them.

But now, it’s different; they couldn’t swim in the water like mortals, right? Not to mention the speed, their bodies would float on the water, becoming targets for the cultivators in the Void, wouldn’t they?

And to advance underwater and increase speed, one must wrap their bodies with immortal energy, which makes it impossible to hide their aura. With immortal energy emitting outward, other cultivators could easily detect their presence.

If not underwater, their only choice would be to fly in the Void, making it even easier to expose their presence.

Rather than swimming, Cao Zhen was more advancing at the bottom of the water.

Suddenly, two powerful auras came from afar, rapidly approaching in his direction.

"Are they coming for me?"

Cao Zhen’s face showed a trace of solemnity, and soon the seawater before him began to ripple—caused by the speed at which the opponents were advancing underwater!

After about two breaths, two figures appeared in front of him.

They were two of the Sky Clan!

Cao Zhen showed a hint of surprise. The Sky Clan already had a small number, and they didn’t usually enjoy venturing out much, so among the alien races one encountered outside, members of the Sky Clan were the fewest.

He didn’t suspect these two were specially sent to hunt him down; previously, so many Sky Clan had ambushed and failed to kill him, so if they dispatched cultivators again, it wouldn’t be just these two. Unless they were top-tier True Immortal Realms, but these two didn’t seem to be that top-tier.

"Humans! They’re actually Humans. Our luck is really good!"
