401: Chapter 399: The Escapee, the Daoist Treasury Vanishes

Gu Shengge and Jun Mengqing were already hidden in the mountain range. That person and that Yao Beast were considerate of the life below, which is why they fought high above the clouds, but the aftershocks of their battle still inevitably affected the world below.

Gu Shengge summoned the taichu dao bell. With the entire Taichu Great World as its Foundation, the taichu dao bell's defense was extremely stable.

The taichu dao bell emerged, radiating Divine Power. The Dao patterns of the Great World flickered, condensing a thick Dao barrier that shielded Gu Shengge and Jun Mengqing.

Above the sky, Dao sounds hummed. Although both sides tried their best to restrain themselves, the shattered Dao Law that fell was still unstoppable. Amidst the collapsing mountains, Yao Beasts roared and wailed, fleeing in panic.

A large number of Yao Beasts gathered, forming a surging beast tide. They roared and bellowed, desperately fleeing, seeking a way to survive.

Above and below, the beast groups were completely frantic, like monstrous waves.

Gu Shengge and Jun Mengqing's location was unfortunately right on the path of the fleeing beast tide.

Gu Shengge activated the Spatial Dao, hoping to avoid the impact of the beast tide, but the spatial tunnel shattered the moment it condensed.

The battle between that person and that Yao Beast was too fierce; it was impossible to construct stable space.

Jun Mengqing's expression slightly tightened: "Young Master, can we hold them off?"

Although Gu Shengge had now stepped into the Hedao Realm, they were facing an endless stream of beast tides, some of which included powerful great Yao. Gu Shengge might be exhausted to death by the continuous impact of the beast tide.

Gu Shengge's expression was calm, his eyes slightly narrowed: "It's fine, they won't be able to break through."

"Clang!"

The taichu dao bell chimed, and the Great World Dao sound spread. The Divine Souls of the group of Yao Beasts at the forefront shook, their Yao Cores flickered, their Dao Foundations hummed, and signs of shattering even appeared.

With just a single chime, the attacking Yao Beast group was forcibly split open, and the area where Gu Shengge and Jun Mengqing were located was cleared, like flowing water encountering a giant rock and being divided in two.

Jun Mengqing watched the increasing number of Yao Beasts below, desperately rushing into the sea of fire, and her gaze darkened.

The main reason was that among these clans, there were groups affiliated with Qingqiu. As the Young Emperor of Qingqiu, she absolutely could not stand idly by.

Her eyes flashed with faint light, and a cyan glow appeared on her face. A fox face, like a mask, flickered in front of her. The aura of the Qingqiu clan emanated, and the affiliated Yao Race members sensed Jun Mengqing's Qi. They immediately stopped, looked around, and locked onto Jun Mengqing's location.

But they dared not move, because the Qingqiu clan's aura originated from beneath that mountain-like bronze bell. In the previous bell chime, they had sensed the danger there; stepping in meant certain death!

"Young Master, can we let them come here to take shelter?"

Gu Shengge didn't really mind. The coverage of the taichu dao bell was vast and should be able to accommodate quite a few Yao Race members, so he nodded.

Jun Mengqing immediately used Mental Energy to transmit a message, guiding them to take shelter here. Those Yao Race members already had one foot in the gates of hell. Upon receiving guidance from the Qingqiu clan, they immediately rushed toward the taichu dao bell. Before long, tens of thousands of Yao Beasts gathered here. They lay prostrate on the ground, suppressed by the Dao power of the taichu dao bell, unable to move.

They did not struggle at all. They were originally affiliated clans of the Qingqiu clan, bearing their marks. If the Qingqiu clan's ruler wished it, they would all perish here.

Seeing more and more Yao Beasts surging forward, Gu Shengge had no choice but to expand the range covered by the Dao bell again.

Below, an old Yao with dark green skin shouted: "Esteemed One, those Yao Beasts outside should not belong to the Qingqiu lineage."

Jun Mengqing also nodded: "There are indeed very few left outside. There is no need to take in any more."

Gu Shengge, however, shook his head: "I suddenly have a good idea."

While Jun Mengqing was still confused, the passage to the Taichu Great World opened below: "Their strength is so weak; they definitely won't survive this great battle outside. Why not let them propagate and multiply in the Taichu Great World!"

The Taichu Great World is immensely vast. It has the configuration of a Great World, yet living creatures are extremely scarce. The Yao Beast Race grows slowly, so even allowing them to reproduce in the Taichu Great World now would not affect the subsequent migration of the Human Race.

Jun Mengqing nodded: "Indeed, rather than waiting here to die, they might as well create some value."

She immediately used Mental Energy to communicate with these Yao Beasts, persuading them to enter the Taichu Great World.

Below, cracks also appeared at the entrance to the Taichu Great World. Under the great battle, the Spatial Dao Law was unstable, and even the entrance to the Taichu Great World would not last long.

After receiving guidance from Jun Mengqing, some of the clans barely hesitated before escaping into the spatial tunnel.

They thought, no matter what, it couldn't be worse than the present situation, right?

But there was still a portion that held back, unwilling to leave the land where their ancestors had lived and multiplied for generations.

Among them, a purple figure in the group hesitated for a moment, leaped, and disappeared into the World passage.

Seeing that those Yao Beasts made no further moves, Jun Mengqing stopped speaking.

"Not good!" Gu Shengge exclaimed in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Jun Mengqing asked, full of confusion. They were quite safe right now, so why did Gu Shengge suddenly exclaim, startling her.

"We've been targeted!" Gu Shengge said in a deep voice.

Jun Mengqing released her Divine Thought to perceive the situation, and her expression changed drastically. Two vast Divine Thoughts had already sealed off this area, and the cracks at the spatial passage of the Taichu Great World were becoming denser.

Seeing this, Gu Shengge gritted his teeth and said: "We should leave."

The two stepped forward, quickly retreating into the Taichu Great World.

Almost the instant they rushed into the gateway of the Taichu Great World, the spatial tunnel collapsed with a roar.

Above the sky, the person and the Yao Beast stared fiercely at the broken land below.

"He vanished! Dao Lord Ziyuan vanished!"

"What are we still fighting over!"

"You fool! If you hadn't insisted on taking everything for yourself, why would you have let him escape!"

The person and the Yao Beast cursed angrily. They were clearly acquainted before, perhaps even allies, but they had fallen out over some reason, leading to the current situation.

Below, amidst the scorching Dao flames, Yao Beasts scattered and fled. The gazes of the person and the Yao Beast swept across the land, inspecting all directions. Some weak Yao Beasts below instantly shattered and turned into a mist of blood under their gaze.

Even stronger Yao Beasts could not endure it. Although they did not explode, their Divine Souls collapsed, they lost consciousness, and fell into a coma on the ground.

High above the Nine Heavens, the person and the Yao Beast quickly read the situation from the Divine Souls of some Yao Beasts. Dao Lord Ziyuan had actually taken advantage of their fight to sneak into the Yao Beast group and escape to what appeared to be another Major Thousand Worlds?

Their expressions were ugly. There were countless Major Thousand Worlds, and without accurate coordinates, it would be extremely difficult to find him.

This time, they had completely lost track of Dao Lord Ziyuan. The chance of obtaining his Dao inheritance again was gone.
