253: Chapter 253 Leaving the Secret Realm

Fortunately, although the Yao Beast in the Divine Sovereign Realm was powerful, after all, they were hundreds of millions of miles apart, so it wouldn't be able to catch up to Lin Qing and the others in an instant.

Furthermore, the three of Lin Qing were already not far from the exit to begin with, which was also the reason why Lin Qing did not abandon Zhang Wang and the other. If the situation truly reached a moment of extreme peril, Lin Qing would only be able to use teleportation methods to save his own life first.

However, there was still an important issue right now, which was that Lin Qing was not quite sure whether this Divine Sovereign Realm Yao Beast could chase them out of the Secret Realm. If the opponent could chase them out, Zhang Wang and the other could only pray for their own good fortune.

Both sides chased and fled. When Lin Qing and the others were about to approach the exit of the Secret Realm, the appearance of that Yao Beast finally appeared within the Divine Thought perception of the three.

The Yao Beast was shaped very much like an earthworm, with its skin shimmering with a cyan-black faint light, its body diameter reaching a full three hundred miles, and its body length even reaching twenty thousand miles.

The front end of its body was a giant mouthparts, with circular sharp teeth converging inward layer upon layer. Other than that, its remaining facial features seemed to have completely degenerated.

"What is that thing?"

At this time, the voices of Zhang Wang and the other both carried a trace of trembling. Prior to this, the largest creature they had ever seen was that White Giant Wolf, and the size of this earthworm was more than a hundred times larger than that giant wolf.

Having witnessed a Yao Beast of this caliber, even though the two of them were Level 11 powerpersons who had lived for over a thousand years, they were just like ordinary people, with the emotion of fear written all over their faces.

"Divine Sovereign Realm!"

Lin Qing's expression was as solemn as before. Guessing it was one thing, but seeing it with his own eyes was another matter entirely.

"Divine Venerable? Does that refer to Level 12?"

"Does that mean that legendary Old Turtle is real as well? The other party is also a Divine Venerable!"

The turtle naturally referred to Old Turtle. After the previous trip to the Kunxu Secret Realm ended, Old Turtle had once revealed its true form in front of people, but Zhang Wang and the other had not seen it with their own eyes, so they had always maintained a skeptical attitude. Now that they saw an existence of the same tier, they had no choice but to believe it.

Although the distance was continuously shortening, Lin Qing and the others had ultimately arrived at the exit of the Secret Realm. It would take no more than a few breaths of time to get out, while the giant earthworm was still twenty million miles away.

Seeming to sense that it could no longer catch up to Lin Qing and the others at all, the giant earthworm drilled out from underground. It shrieked towards the sky, and after its mouthparts were fully expanded, they became a circle larger than its body, reaching a diameter of five hundred miles.

At the same time, a heavy pressure fell upon Lin Qing and the two. Lin Qing felt his hand sink, and Zhang Wang and the other had completely lost the ability to move independently at this moment, while Lin Qing's own speed also dropped abruptly by a few notches.

The giant earthworm released a Divine Thought attack, wanting to remotely suppress Lin Qing and the three. Lin Qing had also used this trick when saving the tribe priest.

Although the earthworm was strong, it clearly wasn't strong enough to suppress Lin Qing with a single thought. Feeling the earthworm's attack, Lin Qing instead breathed a sigh of relief.

It was anxious!

This showed that this giant earthworm truly had no way to leave the Secret Realm. Although it was unknown what the reason was, and perhaps the earthworm might even just be temporarily unable to leave, none of these mattered.

Under the continuous pressure, although Lin Qing's speed was slightly slower, after ten breaths of time, he still brought Zhang Wang and the other and left.

Returning to the Southern Region once again, Zhang Wang and the other also recovered their mobility. Standing above the giant sinkhole, the three of them still had lingering fears.

The diameter of this sinkhole was completely identical to when the giant earthworm's mouthparts were fully spread open, which showed that this giant earthworm had once been active in the Southern Region, and this sinkhole was its masterpiece.

It was just unknown whether it originally lived in the Southern Region and then inadvertently fell into the Secret Realm, or if it was an indigenous resident of the Secret Realm that had come out before.

The three of them came to a plain. Lin Qing took out the corpse of that Qingyan Beast, and after using two Wind Blades to remove the beast horns of the Qingyan Beast, he said to Zhang Wang and the other:

"You guys handle it."

"Many thanks, Fellow Daoist Yun."

After Zhang Wang and the other cupped their fists in salute, they began to process the corpse of the Qingyan Beast on their own. What the two of them needed were the scales. Once they finished processing it, the cooperation of the three could also be said to have come to an end.

Just as Lin Qing was preparing to sit down and rest for a moment, suddenly a few more familiar figures intruded into his Divine Thought range.

It was the team of Ren Wudi and the others.

There were four people in Ren Wudi's team, namely Ren Wudi and Qiyue, along with another man and woman. Looking at their disheveled appearance at this moment, they were clearly encountering pursuit and killing. However, the thing pursuing them was still outside Lin Qing's Divine Thought perception range, and Lin Qing temporarily did not know whether it was a person or a Yao Beast.

Previously, when Lin Qing fought the White Giant Wolf, it had triggered a beast tide, and these four people were also affected at that time. However, back then they were at the outermost periphery of the beast tide, so Lin Qing had not sensed them.

That man and woman had always displayed Level 9 cultivation in front of Ren Wudi and the others previously, but now, under the man's leadership, their escaping speed was clearly no weaker than Level 11.

Lin Qing had never seen them before, so he did not know about that man and woman concealing their cultivation. He instead thought it was some Elder from Ren Wudi and the others' Sect bringing them out for experiential training.

Lin Qing sat on the ground intending to watch properly, and was considering whether to save Ren Wudi and Qiyue. To him, it was just a matter of convenience. Right at this moment, the people pursuing them also intruded into Lin Qing's Divine Thought perception range.

That was also a man and a woman. The man's cultivation was only at the Early Stage Level 11, while the woman's cultivation had reached the Late Stage Level 11. Moreover, Lin Qing even knew this person, and had even fought against the other party's Clone. She was unexpectedly Luo Xues Mother!

Lin Qing immediately turned serious, and then he gathered his Divine Thought onto the four people of Ren Wudi once again to observe carefully.

Not being serious was fine, but once he became serious, he immediately saw through the disguise of that man and woman. Lin Qing instantly bounded up from the ground—that man and woman were clearly Grandmaster and Grand Aunt-Master Qing Yao!

Zhang Wang and Hua You, who were happily dissecting the Qingyan Beast, also noticed Lin Qing's action and immediately asked:

"Fellow Daoist Yun, what's wrong?"

"The Qingyan Beast is given to you guys."

This time, the hunting of the Qingyan Beast relied almost entirely on Lin Qing alone. Zhang Wang and the other only had the qualification to distribute the scales, but now Lin Qing clearly couldn't care less about the Qingyan Beast. After hastily replying to the two, he soared into the air and rushed toward the direction of Grand Aunt-Master Qing Yao.

Right now, Grand Aunt-Master Qing Yao and the others had not reached the critical juncture yet, and Lin Qing's teleportation recognition degree was too high, so he did not use it immediately.

"Fellow Daoist Yun must have encountered some sudden situation. What should we do?"

After Lin Qing left, Zhang Wang asked Hua You. Hua You pondered for a moment and said:

"Let's follow and take a look, to see if there's anything we can help with."

At the same time, inside the Secret Realm beneath the sinkhole, the giant earthworm did not return underground because of Lin Qing and the others' departure. The Secret Realm was its territory; now that the three of Lin Qing had entered, killed its subordinates, and then calmly left the Secret Realm, this made it extremely furious.

"Go, kill them for me."

The giant earthworm issued an order, and streaks of Yao Beasts carrying terrifying auras gathered toward the exit from all corners of the Secret Realm.
