147: Chapter 147 The Desolate Wilderness

The white light flickered to its limit, then suddenly exploded.

After a dizzying sensation of weightlessness, Su Yu tumbled out from the Void Realm.

As soon as his feet touched solid ground, the space tunnel behind him emitted a dull roar.

"Bang."

That ancient teleportation Formation could not withstand the mana impact of the five Body Integration Stage experts, and together with the receiving node on this side, it completely exploded into powder.

The spatial rift closed rapidly.

This meant that it was impossible for those Old Monsters to pinpoint his location and pursue him immediately.

Su Yu steadied himself, and a taste of blood surged up his throat again.

He turned his head and spat out a mouthful of clotted blood mixed with black threads.

Just now, in the teleportation tunnel, although Old Ancestor Blood River's grab had been blocked by Void Realm debris, the residual power of the Body Integration Stage had still injured his internal organs.

A dozen of his Meridians were severed, and his Soul Transformation Early Stage true essence felt somewhat sluggish when circulating.

Su Yu did not rush to heal his wounds, but first looked around.

Yellow sand filled the sky, and the wind blowing against his face carried a dry, astringent taste.

Most importantly, the Spiritual Qi here was extremely thin.

It was so thin that it was not even as good as the spiritual fields on the outskirts of Qingmu Market.

The most remote forbidden land in the Hunyuan Heavenly Domain, the Withered Spirit Barren Domain.

This was a place he had seen on a map in the Scripture Pavilion of the Celestial Pivot Sect.

Within a radius of ten thousand miles, the Spiritual Veins were severed, and only some thick-skinned ancient Vicious Beasts roamed within the sandstorms.

Even Nascent Soul Cultivators found this place too poor and were unwilling to set foot here.

Su Yu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his mind calculating the current situation with extreme calmness.

Soul Transformation Early Stage, facing five Body Integration Stage experts.

There was a gap of two whole major Realms.

This was not something that could be bridged by any exquisite Spell or ruthless Heart-Nature.

A direct confrontation was suicide.

The only path to survival was to run.

Keep running.

Run until these Old Monsters completely lost their patience, or run until they were played to death by the Laws of the Heavenly Dao.

As long as he was still breathing, the Luck on his body would constantly create trouble for them.

Accidents, coincidences, natural disasters, and man-made catastrophes.

In this process, time was on his side.

Having made up his mind, Su Yu did not linger any longer and prepared to find a place to suppress his injuries first.

He took a step forward.

The yellow sand under his feet suddenly subsided without warning.

There was no fluctuation of a Formation, nor was it an attack by a Yao Beast.

It was simply the weathering of the sand and soil; the ground underneath was hollow.

Su Yu's body sank, and he fell directly into a sinkhole.

Falling for over a dozen zhang, he landed steadily on a piece of hard stone slab.

Borrowing the faint light leaking from above, Su Yu saw the scene before him clearly.

This was the remnant of an Immortal Cave that had been buried by yellow sand for who knows how many tens of thousands of years.

The stone walls had weathered to the point where their original patterns were no longer visible; the Immortal Cave was not large, and it did not even have a decent door.

Su Yu walked to the innermost part of the Immortal Cave.

There was a stone table there, and on the table sat a jade bottle covered in dust.

Although the seal of the jade bottle was somewhat loose, a trace of the Restriction remaining on it was still functioning.

Su Yu flicked his finger, broke the Restriction, and pulled out the bottle stopper.

An extremely rich medicinal fragrance wafted out, moistening the dry air around it a little.

Su Yu poured it into his palm.

A Medicinal Pill the size of a fingernail, covered all over with nine pill patterns, rolled out.

Nine-Turn Recovery Pill.

This item was not considered an earth-shattering treasure in the outside world, but it was a high-grade sacred medicine for healing.

It had an immediate and miraculous effect on repairing the damaged Meridians and internal organs of high-level Cultivators.

It was just right for treating the injuries he had sustained from the residual power of the Body Integration Stage.

Su Yu pinched the Medicinal Pill, looked at the collapsed sand pit above his head, and could not help but sigh in his heart.

The arrangement of the Heavens really did not let him take even a single detour.

It had just thrown him into a desperate situation, and in the next turn, it stuffed life-saving medicine under his feet.

It even saved him the effort of looking for medicine.

Su Yu did not hesitate and threw the Medicinal Pill directly into his mouth.

The Medicinal Pill melted upon entering his mouth, turning into a gentle warm current that quickly enveloped his severed Meridians.

The tearing pain began to subside, and his sluggish true essence became smooth again.

He sat cross-legged beside the stone table, dissolving the medicinal power while extending his Divine Sense out through the cracks of the sinkhole.

Within a hundred miles, there was nothing except for a few low-level sand beasts rolling in the sand.

Those five Body Integration Stage Old Monsters had not caught up yet.

But Su Yu knew very well that this was only a temporary respite.

The tracking methods of Body Integration Stage experts must never be inferred by common sense.

As long as the Karma remained, even if the spatial nodes were severed, they would have ways to find him.

His injuries were healing rapidly.

Su Yu opened his eyes, took a clean green robe from his Storage Pouch, and put it on.

Next, it would be a real game of hide-and-seek.

At the end of the spatial tunnel.

As the teleportation node exploded, violent Void Realm turbulence scattered everywhere.

The five Body Integration Stage Old Monsters forcibly tore open the Void Realm and tumbled out from the spatial crevices.

Because the teleportation Formation had been forcibly destroyed, the spatial coordinates were completely chaotic.

These five people did not land in the same place.

The Withered Spirit Barren Domain was vast and boundless.

They were thrown randomly, and the distance between them was pulled apart by millions of miles.

The south side of the Barren Domain.

Old Ancestor Blood River descended from mid-air, his feet landing heavily on a huge sand dune.

He was just about to spread his Divine Sense to search for Su Yu's trail.

The sand dune under his feet suddenly collapsed entirely.

Underneath was a bottomless, huge nest.

The moment Old Ancestor Blood River fell into the nest, a pair of dark yellow vertical pupils lit up in the darkness.

That was an ancient exotic beast that had slept underground for years.

Void Refining Peak.

If it were normal times, Old Ancestor Blood River could kill such a beast with a single slap.

But this exotic beast had been swallowing yellow sand in the Withered Spirit Barren Domain for years, and its skin and flesh were harder than top-grade Magic Treasures.

Moreover, it was completely unreasonable; having had its nest stepped on, it went crazy and lunged at him.

Old Ancestor Blood River had just let Su Yu escape, and he was already holding a ball of fire in his heart.

Seeing this beast dare to come and find trouble, he immediately raised his hand and covered it with a Sea of Nether Blood.

Body Integration Stage against Void Refining Peak was naturally a crushing victory.

But this exotic beast was extremely troublesome; even when it was corroded by blood to the point that only bones remained, it still bit onto Old Ancestor Blood River's protective true essence and would not let go.

Old Ancestor Blood River was forced to stay behind to clear out this beast.

This delay lasted for a full three days.

For three whole days, he had not moved an inch.

The north side of the Barren Domain.

Venerable Leiji landed on a Gobi desert covered with black gravel.

His expression was gloomy, and he did not act rashly.

He had lost Su Yu's aura in the Void Realm and could only rely on himself to think of a way.

Venerable Leiji raised his right hand, his fingertips pinching out a Spell.

A thread of extremely thin purple lightning flew out from his fingertips, preparing to follow the Karma line in the dark to scout the path.

The purple lightning hugged the ground and sped forward.

However.

Before the purple lightning had flown even ten miles, the previously calm space ahead suddenly produced an extremely unnatural distortion.

That was the extremely rare "Naturally Spirit-Forbidden Zone" in the Withered Spirit Barren Domain.

In such a place, Spiritual Qi was severed, and even the Laws were inverted.

The purple lightning crashed headlong into that area.

It did not explode.

Instead, following the inverted Laws, it turned in mid-air and refracted back along the original path.

The speed was twice as fast as when it flew out.
