"Damnable, hateful, my Heavenly Dao Origin, this time the loss will take countless years to train and recover. My journey to the Primordial God seems so elusive!"
The God of Fire roared in anger, his face twisted and contorted.
His successful escape was due to an ancient Secret Technique he cultivated, which involved splitting a part of his soul and origin, and then re-consolidating another self.
The one that pursued Chu Yuan before was indeed his true body.
But he self-destructed the false body, switched to his true self, sacrificing a full third of the Heavenly Dao Origin to escape smoothly.
He also realized that Chu Yuan's current power was beyond his resistance.
"Now is not the time for me to be enraged; Shenwu, in order to resurrect the Fire Ancestor, must slay him. I absolutely cannot be killed by him, and no matter where I flee, I cannot hide from him. I refined the Fire Ancestor's Heavenly Dao Origin, allowing him to sense my position!"
