934: Chapter 935 Departure!

Gu Changge waved his hand, his gaze instantly shifting toward the light spheres suspended at the edge of Chaos.

Earlier, he had only glanced at them roughly and didn't pay much attention.

Looking closely at this moment, although the treasures within those light spheres were not as world-shaking as the three main items, every single one of them was a rare treasure hard to find in the outside world.

With a wave of his sleeve, he put them away.

After a thorough plundering, all the light spheres at the edge of Chaos completely vanished, making the entire Void Realm appear much more desolate.

After finishing all this, Gu Changge's Divine Sense penetrated the Ancient Tomb.

Above the solitary mountain, wind and clouds surged violently.

Aside from the initial fourteen Heavenly Venerables, several more powerful auras rushed over from the edge of the horizon, two of which had reached the Late Stage of Heavenly Venerable.

The Nine-Nether Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow's vital blood was already withered, and after engaging in successive fierce battles, it was now at the end of its tether under the siege of those dozen or so Heavenly Venerables.

If they were allowed to break into the main tomb, that Supreme Mucang probably wouldn't find peace even after death.

"Fine, since I have taken your scriptures, I shall grant you a moment of tranquility."

Gu Changge waved both hands, space twisting slightly as an invisible Restriction fell.

Under that Restriction, the entire main tomb seemed to be erased from the long river of history. Even if a Supreme arrived personally, without understanding the method, they would only see a nihilistic pile of rubble.

Having done all this, Gu Changge turned around, bringing Xiaobai and Jimie with him, and collected all the other scattered treasures within the great tomb.

Following the passage they came by, he walked outward slowly.

At the same time, in the outside world.

"Screech——!"

The Nine-Nether Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow let out an extremely shrill screech.

The combined attack grand array formed by a dozen or so Heavenly Venerables finally showed a flaw, and a Late Stage Heavenly Venerable powerhouse seized the Opportunity.

With a palm strike slapped onto the sparrow's spine, a large swath of black feathers mixed with a rain of blood fluttered down.

The Nine-Nether Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow let out an extremely shrill screech, a sound filled with despair and determination.

It knew it could no longer live.

Having slept for endless years, the vital blood within its body had long since withered, and after waking up this time, it had engaged in consecutive fierce battles without a moment to catch its breath.

Facing the siege of a dozen or so Heavenly Venerables at this moment, it had exhausted even the strength to escape.

It turned abruptly, no longer attempting to break through, but instead lunging fiercely toward those dozen or so Heavenly Venerables.

Its wings were fully spread, its black feathers like blades, and a layer of dark red flames burned around its entire body.

"It's going all out! Retreat!" Someone cried out in alarm.

But it was already too late.

The Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow bit down on an Early Stage Heavenly Venerable Cultivator in one gulp, its huge beak snapping shut, and before that person could even let out a miserable scream, they were bitten in half at the waist.

At the same time, its sharp claws tore open another Heavenly Venerable's shoulder, ripping away a large swath of flesh and blood.

But more attacks landed on its body.

More than a dozen attacks struck its body simultaneously, beating its massive physique back repeatedly, black blood scattering like rain.

Its left wing finally snapped completely, hanging down weakly as its massive physique crashed heavily to the ground, smashing out a huge deep pit.

Smoke and dust filled the sky.

The Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow lay at the bottom of the pit, drenched in blood, lacking even the strength to raise its head.

Its eyes were half-open and half-closed, the crimson light dissipating bit by bit.

Right at this moment, an extremely faint golden light shot over silently from afar, merging into its body.

That golden light was warm and gentle, carrying an extremely pure Origin Qi, like a babbling stream injecting into its withered Meridians.

The fire of life, which had already been mostly extinguished, unexpectedly reignited under the nourishment of this Origin.

The Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow abruptly opened its eyes, raised its head, and looked towards the direction from where that vitality had shot over.

In the distance, on the skyline behind the solitary mountain, a figure in white was facing away from it, walking further and further away.

Beside that person followed two figures, one black and one dark, their paces calm and robes fluttering, as if the clamor and slaughter here had nothing to do with him.

He did not look back.

But the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow knew it was him.

Grandmist vitality flowed through its limbs and bones, and its nearly dissipating Divine Soul stabilized anew. The Nine-Nether Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow gave a fierce shudder, and monstrous nether ghostly winds roared to sweep across the entire field.

The swarm of Heavenly Venerables surrounding it were caught off guard and were all blown flying by the violent wind.

No one dared to step forward rashly again, all staring with doubt and suspicion at this Primordial Vicious Beast at the bottom of the pit.

The giant vertical pupils of the Nine-Nether Heaven-Swallowing looked toward the crack-filled outer tomb door, a myriad of complex emotions surging in the depths of its eyes.

Since ancient times, Supreme Cangwu once showed kindness to it, and it had followed the Supreme ever since.

On the eve of Supreme Cangwu's passing, he had specially left behind a Dao voice telling it that there was no need to guard it with its life forever; in days to come, it could break free from the shackles of this place and freely roam the heavens.

Yet at that time, feeling grateful for the saving grace, it insisted on staying, guarding this solitary grave day after day and year after year.

Now the outer barrier of the grand array was on the verge of shattering, and try as it might with all its might, it could no longer protect the resting place of the tomb's master.

The repayment of kindness had reached its end, and there were no more debts owed.

The Nine-Nether Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow let out a long, resonant cry, the sound no longer carrying its past slaughter and hostility, leaving only relief and farewell.

It took one last deep look toward the Ancient Tomb, as if bidding farewell to Supreme Cangwu.

Moments later, its figure transformed into a pitch-black stream of light, no longer entangling with any Cultivators present, and sped away straight toward the uninhabited, savage depths of the Wasteland, vanishing into the end of the clouds and mist in the blink of an eye.

"Stop it! Don't let it run!" Patriarch Zhenyue roared angrily.

But it was already too late; the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow's figure had already vanished, leaving behind only an earth-shaking roar.

Immediately after, the tomb-protecting light screen, which was already in a precarious state, finally emitted an unbearable crisp cracking sound after losing the maintenance of the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow——

Crack!

The entire light screen shattered inch by inch!

"It's open! The tomb gate is open!"

"Charge! The Opportunity is mine!"

The Heavenly Venerables of various major forces could not care about pursuing, and all transformed into streams of light, rushing toward the suddenly wide-open tomb gate.

Countless Cultivators also turned red-eyed, swarming forward.

However, when they once again lost a large number of Disciples, wore through the murderous intent of the great tomb, and arrived at that Chaos Void, everyone was stunned.

It was empty.

There was nothing.

There were no mountains of accumulated treasures as imagined, no Supreme weapons hanging on the walls.

There were no Medicinal Pills or Jade Slips suspended in the Void Realm, not even a decent Spirit Stone.

In the entire Chaos Void, only a vast expanse of dead silence and a few scattered traces left behind after being plundered remained.

"This... how is this possible?"

Heavenly Venerable Qingming looked around in disbelief, "This is clearly a Supreme tomb, how could there be nothing?"

"Someone has been here!" Patriarch Zhenyue's face turned livid as he pointed at a few clear footprints on the ground.

"Someone came in before us! The treasures here have all been emptied out by him!"

"Who? Who is it?!"

In a fit of rage, Pavilion Master Tianyan slapped a palm onto the nearby stone wall, shaking the entire tomb chamber with a buzzing sound.

"We risked our lives outside to hold back that beast, only to let someone else take the lead?"

The crowd of Heavenly Venerables looked at each other, their expressions uglier than the last.

For this tomb, they had dispatched a dozen or so Heavenly Venerables and even suffered several casualties, managing to break through the outer defense with great difficulty, only to end up not even getting a sip of soup in the end.

This suffocating feeling made them almost spit blood.

At this moment, Gu Changge had already appeared in a bustling major city not far away.
