Crack—
The crisp sound of splitting seemed to strike at the hearts of everyone present.
The blood-red giant cocoon slowly cracked, fissures spreading wider and wider. The heartbeat grew increasingly clear, and the warriors unconsciously held their breath, focusing their attention as they stood on guard.
"Caw—"
A clear, piercing cry suddenly rang out, sharp enough to split metal and stone. It was like a divine bird bursting from its shell. An invisible gale swept through the stone chamber, whipping up clouds of dust. With their vision obscured, the warriors instinctively extended their divine senses.
But the moment their senses approached the giant cocoon, a sharp pain struck them.
Boom!
The giant cocoon shattered into pieces. A blood-red figure with a pair of wings on its back shot into the sky, smashing through the stone ceiling and soaring straight toward the heavens.
"Quick, after it!"
"Don't let it get away!"
Streams of light tore through the clouds and shook the sky as they pursued it.
Shi Lan was speechless with mortification. She was completely naked, covered only by a thin veil of blood aura. If she fought anyone and the veil was scattered, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thinking of the terrifying outcome that might await her, Shi Lan pushed her speed up another notch. Her blood-red wings spread fully, cutting through space; with a single beat, she was already a thousand miles away.
Tian Bai hid in Shi Lan's arms, not daring to move a muscle. It could tell that Shi Lan was in a rather foul mood.
One warrior after another fell behind Shi Lan. Even the great cultivators of the Primordial Spirit realm couldn't catch up. Left tens of thousands of miles behind, they could only watch helplessly as Shi Lan vanished into the brilliant starry sky
