244: Chapter 244 Hunting Down Bai Cangye, the Holy Lord of the Holy Realm

Deep within Buzhou Mountain, inside an Immortal Cave, an old man with white hair sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion. His body radiated a dense aura of Dao rhymes, resembling a supreme powerhouse.

However, at this moment, the white-haired old man's brows were tightly furrowed, and a look of pain appeared on his face.

This white-haired old man was none other than Bai Cangye. He had been in seclusion for a long time, but for the past few days, he had felt restless, unable to calm his mind to Cultivate.

He knew that something was wrong with his state of mind and that he must find a solution. Otherwise, with his current Realm, if his state of mind was unstable, it would not only affect his cultivation but could even lead to Qi Deviation.

Bai Cangye was a natural powerhouse whose own strength was terrifying; he could defeat numerous formidable enemies single-handedly. Furthermore, he possessed a little-known secret—he was born with the ability to predict Heavenly Dao, allowing him to glimpse a corner of the future.

Although it was only an insignificant corner, it was enough for him to seek good fortune and avoid disaster.

However, regarding this restlessness, even with all his efforts, he struggled to deduce the cause. In the past, whenever he used his Divine Ability, he could always catch a glimpse of clues.

But this time, no matter how hard he tried, he had no leads, as if a layer of mist shrouded his heart, preventing him from seeing the truth. This situation was extremely rare for Bai Cangye; after all, with his abilities, he rarely encountered such thorny problems.

Coupled with the series of strange events that had occurred recently, he was even more worried. First, the Universe shook, and then there was that sneak attack incident; every event made him feel uneasy. In particular, that Universe vibration gave him an ominous premonition that some huge catastrophe was about to descend.

And his previous sneak attack made him realize that his situation was not safe; someone was plotting against him in the dark.

Because of these troubles, Bai Cangye, who was originally transcendent and had the air of an immortal, had looked exceptionally haggard these past few days, his expression filled with exhaustion and worry.

He knew well that if he continued like this, his path of cultivation would be severely hindered. Therefore, he decided to leave the Huangyuan Universe and go on an adventure, hoping to find some precious source crystal and improve his strength.

At the same time, he also wanted to take this opportunity to adjust his mindset and get rid of his current predicament.

But just as he walked not far out of Buzhou Mountain, he saw a red sword light rushing towards Buzhou Mountain from a distance, which scared him into breaking out in a cold sweat!

One must know that although Buzhou Mountain had always had few Disciples, every one of them was an elite, a Genius among Geniuses. If they were hit by this sword, Buzhou Mountain would truly be finished.

But now he couldn't care about that much, because he discovered that deep in his heart, he felt a fatal crisis warning from that sword light.

He fled desperately away from Buzhou Mountain, but to his horror, the red sword light split into two, attacking him and Buzhou Mountain respectively.

"Sipan, don't be too heavy-handed; you must leave Bai Cangye for me to kill," Cao Yang did not forget to remind her.

He looked at the beautiful Buzhou Mountain in the distance and felt a bit regretful in his heart, wondering how much of it would remain intact after Sipan's blow.

"Brother Cao, don't worry, I'll remember!" Hong Sipan's delicate voice sounded, as pleasant as an oriole coming out of a valley.

Cao Yang sighed inwardly. In fact, it wasn't that he didn't trust Hong Sipan, but he was worried that if he didn't strike the final blow himself, the System wouldn't recognize it, thinking he wasn't the one who killed Bai Cangye. In that case, he wouldn't get the System's reward.

After all, although he was the owner of the heavenly emperor sword at this moment, because Hong Sipan's strength was too powerful, if he handed the heavenly emperor sword to her to attack the enemy, her combat power would obviously be stronger than if Cao Yang attacked himself.

Just then, the System seemed to sense Cao Yang's worry and suddenly spoke: "Ding, since the host is still the owner of the heavenly emperor sword, even if the heavenly emperor sword kills the enemy alone, the host can still receive 70% of the reward."

Hearing this, Cao Yang was overjoyed and thought this was not bad. But he immediately changed his mind, feeling that he should get the full reward.

Therefore, he decided to take action himself.

"Not good!" At this moment, seeing the sword light about to catch up, Bai Cangye's face changed drastically, knowing the situation was bad. He made a decisive decision, unhesitatingly abandoning his Physical Body, and simultaneously separated a wisp of his true spirit to control this body, continuing to flee forward.

As for his main true spirit, it hid inside his top-grade holy artifact—the Time Derivation Bottle.

In the blink of an eye, he traveled back through the River of Time of a billion Universe kalpas and rushed out of the Saint Realm.

"Brother Cao, Bai Cangye wants to escape like a cicada shedding its skin; he has hidden his main true spirit in the River of Time," Hong Sipan said.

"Oh? Isn't he courting death? Originally, in the outside world, I might have let him escape from my hands, but if he enters the River of Time, that would be interesting." A look of interest appeared on Cao Yang's face.

"Do you need me to continue the pursuit?" Hong Sipan asked.

If she wasn't worried that using her own power would accidentally cause the Saint Realm and even the entire Huangyuan Universe to collapse, with her strength, even using a tiny bit of power would be enough to easily obliterate the opponent.

"No need, I will go and meet him myself. You just need to deal with his remnant spirit and the people on Buzhou Mountain; try not to destroy Buzhou Mountain."

"Okay~" Hong Sipan smiled sweetly, then stepped down from Cao Yang's embrace. She knew that Cao Yang Cultivated the Great Dao of Time; in the River of Time, Bai Cangye would never be able to escape.

Cao Yang used his own Great Dao of Time, and in the blink of an eye, he escaped into the River of Time and arrived at the era where Bai Cangye was.

Cao Yang did not rush to attack Bai Cangye, but instead observed the Saint Realm around him, which felt slightly familiar, with great interest.

The Saint Realm at this time was still relatively weak compared to the present.

The aura of the Extreme Dao Saint was only present in a few places, but Cao Yang also discovered that his own Realm had become the Peak of the Nine-Tribulation Saint.

Despite this, his strength was still enough to rival the Extreme Dao Saint of this period, and he easily sensed where their auras were.

Thinking about it, the decline in his cultivation base should be blamed on the suppression of the many Daos in the River of Time. After all, the Dao contained in the River of Time was not just one Great Dao of Time, and the Great Dao of Time he mastered was only the most top-tier existence among them.

However, the resources of this era were exceptionally rich. He was pleasantly surprised to find that there were many mineral veins containing mysterious power here, and the mysterious power in these mineral veins was exactly the source crystal that those Extreme Dao Saints were desperately searching for outside the Huangyuan Universe!

Cao Yang's heart stirred, and a bold idea suddenly popped up: Could these mysterious source mines be brought back to the real world?

Action is better than thought; Cao Yang immediately reached out his right hand and grabbed towards a source mine.

"Bang!"

With a loud noise, a familiar force of Heavenly Dao appeared, blocking Cao Yang in front and stopping his giant hand.

Cao Yang was not discouraged; he activated his Divine Ability—Ice Field, causing his combat power to instantly triple.

Immediately afterwards, he used another Divine Ability—Palm Chaos Profound Realm, gathering all his strength on his fist, and then fiercely bombarded the defense barrier of the Heavenly Dao.

"Bang!"

With another earth-shattering loud noise, this time, the Heavenly Dao's defense barrier only lasted for a moment before being shattered by Cao Yang's powerful force.

Cao Yang looked up at the Extreme Dao Saints of this era hiding in the corners and the Heavenly Dao above his head, then continued to reach out and grab the source mine.

However, just as he was about to touch the source mine, a cold snort full of majesty suddenly came from the Void Realm.

"Hmph, young man, you have crossed the line. I will give you ten breaths of time to leave the River of Time immediately!"
