667: Chapter 667 The Sacred Mountain Flew Away?!

"Initially, I only intended to pick a few and leave."

"Since that's the case, then come with me, nice and neat, all of you."

Gu Changge's voice was very faint, without a single ripple, but the moment his words fell, the entire world suddenly fell into a dead silence.

Above the firmament, the originally clear Void Realm suddenly twisted, and an invisible giant hand emerged out of thin air without any warning.

It had no physical form, no light or shadow, and its outline could not even be captured by the naked eye. However, that terrifying sense of oppression originating from the level of Law was more despair-inducing than any visible gargantuan object.

The lines on the palm seemed to transform into invisible celestial rivers and ravines, instantly obscuring the entire main Peak and enveloping Myriad Beast Divine Mountain in a deathly silence.

Deep within the Ancestral Hall of Myriad Beast Divine Mountain.

"Argh—!!!"

Just as that invisible gripping force took shape, the Dragon Elephant Ancestor let out a deafening roar mixed with shock, fury, and defiance!

As a Peak Quasi-Immortal Emperor and the supreme Dominator of this place, its dignity and wild nature would not allow it to sit and wait for death!

"Open for this Ancestor—!!!"

Its mountain-like elephantine body suddenly erupted with dark-golden blood-qi that submerged the stars, and its jade-like tusks became like red-hot branding irons.

Every ancient pattern on them lit up, gushing forth majestic Dao principles sufficient to crush the eternal azure sky!

It burned its lifeblood essence, not even hesitating to destabilize its dao foundation, transforming its lifelong cultivation—along with the authority granted to it by this divine mountain—into a 'heaven-propping force' that sought to tear through the firmament and push open this invisible cage!

This was the death-defying eruption of a Peak Quasi-Emperor, a feat worthy of leaving a profound mark in the history of the Immortal Realm!

However, that terrifying power, capable of shattering star rivers and making the ten thousand Daos wail, the moment it touched the boundary of that invisible cage...

It was like snow melting under a scorching sun; it failed to stir even the slightest ripple or the faintest hum, vanishing silently just like that.

The Dragon Elephant Ancestor's golden pupils shifted from furious crimson to blank daze, finally freezing into an extreme horror that penetrated to the core of its true spirit—an experience it had never felt in its tens of millions of years of life.

All of its power, all of its Dao, all of its pride and ambition, before that casual grasp, were so minuscule they couldn't even be considered dust.

"Im... possi... ble..."

Its consciousness was screaming, yet its body could not even manage to tremble. It could only freeze in place, feeling that incomprehensible grand power that was 'plucking' it along with the entire divine mountain.

Beside it, the Sky-Splitting Kui Ox, the Eight Desolations War Bear, and the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox—all the Yao Sovereigns—were already ashen-faced, their Souls having fled their bodies.

They didn't even have the qualification to struggle; they could only wait for the end amidst frozen terror.

This terrifying pressure, like a flood breaking through a dam, instantly spread toward the entire continent.

Upon this massive Immortal Realm fragment, a chill originating from instinct suddenly surged in the hearts of all living beings.

Whether it was the ancient Vicious Beasts hidden in deep mountains and great marshes, or the sacred birds soaring above the Nine Heavens, all stopped their movements.

Their bodies trembled uncontrollably as they strained with all their might to look toward the source of that pressure, their eyes filled with confusion and fear—

"Has... has the sky collapsed?"

"That's the direction of Myriad Beast Divine Mountain! What happened?"

"Such terrifying pressure, I feel like my Dao is about to shatter!"

Billions of living beings looked on in shock. The entire Immortal Realm fell into an unprecedented deathly silence. Only that pressure originating from the direction of Myriad Beast Divine Mountain remained, like a sword hanging over the heads of all beings, making it hard to breathe.

Just as the world was about to tremble completely due to this pressure, and countless weak creatures were about to have their heart vessels shattered—

In mid-air, Gu Changge, standing with his hands behind his back, frowned slightly.

"The commotion seems a bit large..."

Before his voice finished, he casually raised his right hand and pressed down gently toward that terrifying pressure that was sweeping across the Eight Desolations and about to spread beyond the continent.

Buzz—!

It was as if an invisible giant lid had instantly clamped down on this piece of heaven and earth.

That terrifying pressure that made billions of beings tremble and the Great Dao wail was actually forcefully cut off, compressed, and swallowed by this single press of his!

The suffocating feeling that was like the coming of doomsday a second ago vanished without a trace in the next.

The wind between heaven and earth stopped, the clouds dispersed, and even those Yao Beasts that were roaring in fear froze, their mouths agape and faces full of confusion.

Only in the core area where Myriad Beast Divine Mountain was located did the phenomena persist, yet they no longer spread outward by even an inch.

Boom—!!!

The earth let out a groan of being overburdened, but even this sound was confined within a small space.

At the foot of Myriad Beast Divine Mountain, hideous cracks spread out from underground. From within the cracks, crimson earth-fire and black Evil Qi gushed forth.

The entire towering and majestic divine mountain, which pierced into the clouds, actually began to slowly float!

It wasn't collapsing, nor was it shattering; rather, it was as if it were being picked up by an invisible giant hand, uprooted from the earth!

But in the vision of the billions of beings outside, the scene became eerie yet peaceful.

They could not see that invisible giant hand controlling everything; they only saw that divine mountain, which had suppressed the Yao Race for eons, suddenly seem to lose gravity and float up into the air, defying common sense.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the public, that gargantuan object rapidly shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye!

From being as majestic as a mountain range, it shrank into a hill, and then into a giant boulder.

"How did it fly up?"

"Could it be... could it be that the divine mountain is undergoing Ascension on its own?!"

"No! Look, the mountain body is shrinking! It's moving away from us!"

Countless experts tilted their heads back, watching helplessly as that Holy Land representing the highest power of the Yao Race flew further and further away like a balloon, finally disappearing completely at the edge of the clouds.

Leaving behind only a massive, bottomless black hole in its original place, as if silently recounting the incredible scene that had just occurred.

Countless old monsters who had been in seclusion for many years were startled awake and rushed out of their Immortal Caves, staring at that empty land with eyes wider than copper bells.

"Are my eyes playing tricks on me? That divine mountain that suppressed the ages is just gone?"

Just as the masses were terrified and at a loss, Gu Changge gave a casual tug of suction, and Myriad Beast Divine Mountain landed steadily in his palm.

Within his palm, the divine mountain remained majestic, only confined by an invisible force. The various Yao and Yao Beasts inside were all like a frozen frame, unable to move, their eyes filled with despair.

Outside the divine mountain, the Golden Fiend Tiger King had long since frozen completely, as if a binding spell had been cast on it. It stood there, dumbfounded.

Its pupils were dilated, and its mouth was open wide enough to fit a tiger cub as it looked at the Myriad Beast Divine Mountain in Gu Changge's hand, which had been shrunk billions of times.

That supreme Holy Land it had revered all its life, which governed billions of the Yao Race, was actually uprooted by Gu Changge just like that, like picking up a trivial skewer of roasted meat!

Just moments ago, it was listing the divine mountain's ingredients to Gu Changge like they were family treasures, calculating how to quietly break through the mountain's outer grand array to help Gu Changge steal a few Yao Beasts.

Only now did it understand that this Senior didn't want to pick a few; he clearly wanted to pack up the entire divine mountain as an 'ingredient pantry' and take it away!

"Se... Senior..."

The Golden Fiend Tiger King's voice trembled beyond recognition. Its mind was a complete blank, leaving only endless shock and awe. It didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of disturbing this existence who was like the Heavenly Dao itself.

It finally felt fortunate that it hadn't resisted in the slightest back then; otherwise, at this moment, what would have been collected along with the divine mountain would likely have included its own bones.

In the place where the divine mountain had been taken away, a massive void was left behind, bottomless, as if a piece of the earth had been gouged out.

The subterranean ley lines were in chaos, and violent energy surged everywhere, causing the entire continent to begin vibrating violently. Distant mountains collapsed, rivers flowed backward, and the world was in a mess.

At this moment, Gu Changge raised his hand, his tone still flat and without any ripples.

A faint green glow overflowed from his fingertips, like a spring breeze bringing rain, instantly sweeping across the entire continent.

The chaotic ley lines were smoothed out, the collapsed mountains reconsolidated, the back-flowing rivers returned to their original positions, and those spreading cracks also slowly closed under the shroud of the green glow.

The Immortal Realm, which had been vibrating violently just a moment ago, instantly regained its tranquility, as if the cataclysm of heaven and earth had never happened.

Countless shell-shocked living beings felt the panic and trauma in their hearts silently smoothed away as this warm green glow brushed over their bodies.

They looked up blankly at the bottomless void and the restored mountains and rivers, and for a moment, they even developed an absurd illusion.

Gu Changge put away the divine mountain in his palm, then turned around and looked beside him.

The Golden Fiend Tiger King still maintained its original posture, its massive tiger head stiffly facing that void, its mouth open unconsciously.

Its eyes were wide and round, its pupils unfocused; the entire tiger was like a lifelike sculpture that had been completely drained of its Soul.

The extreme shock had already transcended fear, turning into pure nihilism and sluggishness at the cognitive level.

Gu Changge glanced at it, his tone calm and waveless, as if calling back a dazed kitten:

"Let's go."

After saying that, he turned around, his green robes fluttering slightly as he took a step, intending to enter the Void Realm.

"..."

The Golden Fiend Tiger King's entire body gave a sudden jolt, like a rusted mechanical spring being forced into motion.

It didn't even react to what "let's go" meant, but its massive body had already responded ahead of its consciousness.

Its limbs, stiff and uncoordinated, scrambled and floundered about as it hurriedly followed that green-robed back.

Its mind was still a complete blank, with only that gesture of a phantom grasp and that bottomless void that had swallowed everything remaining.
