Storms

Although Su Ye and Shi Hao had both left the Void God Realm, the turmoil within did not end with their departure.

Because many creatures had already been driven into a bloodthirsty frenzy.

Many ferocious beasts had entered the Void God Realm specifically to defeat the two human youths who had broken Shi Yi's records. They intended to trample the two Milk Babies and, by extension, surpass Shi Yi. However, they arrived only to find the two Milk Babies gone, which left them utterly enraged.

They proceeded to wreak havoc across the Initial Land, plunging an already chaotic place into even greater disorder, with many innocent bystanders forced into the fray.

This chaotic battle lasted for a long time, and countless creatures perished. Among them were many Beast Kings, nobles, and it was even rumored that several powerful pure-blooded creatures had been beaten to death.

Furthermore, Shi Yi's King-Slaying Peak had been broken, though the new King-Slayer did not rely on his own formidable strength, but rather on scavenging corpses and granting "mercy" to those Beast Kings already beaten to the brink of death.

While such behavior was considered shameful, he had delivered the final blow in every instance, and the Void God Realm recognized his achievement.

This left many looking sour, though even more were laughing heartily.

As for the culprit who ignited this chaos, the Milk Baby, he was currently back in Stone Village, recounting his "glorious achievements" in the Void God Realm to the villagers.

The vast Great Wilderness.

Su Ye looked disheveled as he rode the Big Gold Dog, fleeing rapidly through the mountain range. Not far behind them was a Five-Colored Luan Bird, its body suffused with five-colored radiance. Atop the bird sat a stunning woman with a graceful figure, clad in Golden Armor.

"You damn dog, you're useless at everything!"

Su Ye cursed angrily. He had never expected the Big Gold Dog to reveal his true location to the War Goddess. In the Void God Realm, he could easily suppress and intimidate her, but here in the outside world, he lacked the ability to do so.

The Big Gold Dog replied aggrievedly, "I thought it wouldn't matter if she knew. After all, the Mist Mountains are vast, and we were supposed to leave them quickly. Who could have guessed she'd block our path? How did she even know we were heading to the Heaven Mending Pavilion?"

Su Ye's face darkened at these words; as for how she knew, he had naturally been the one to tell her.

Now was not the time for blame; he had to shake off the War Goddess as quickly as possible, or his fate upon falling into her hands would be miserable.

"You cannot escape my grasp."

The War Goddess's cold voice drifted over. Suddenly, individual characters manifested in the air, stirring the heavens and earth to unleash a terrifying divine might.

The Big Gold Dog immediately felt as if he were carrying a mountain on his back; the pressure made it hard to breathe, and his speed slowed significantly.

"Break!"

Su Ye shouted, runes erupting from within his body to surge toward the sky, propping up the firmament to resist the terrifying pressure.

The Big Gold Dog felt his body lighten and hurriedly quickened his pace, bolting toward the depths of the mountain range.

"Hmph."

The War Goddess let out a cold snort. A "Thunder" Divine Script flickered with lightning, raining down bolts of terrifying electricity that pierced through Su Ye's sea of runes and blasted deep craters into the ground.

"Should we just surrender?"

The Big Gold Dog looked at the terrifying lightning surrounding them. Each bolt contained lethal power; if struck, even he would lose half his life. He felt that since he hadn't offended the female devil, she wouldn't kill him.

"If you dare to surrender, I'll stew you alive!"

Su Ye threatened. If they really fell into the War Goddess's hands, the Big Gold Dog might be fine, but he would be in deep trouble. He absolutely could not let the dog surrender, adding, "Don't even think about slowing down on purpose. She'll beat me up at most, but she won't kill me—whereas I will definitely eat you."

The Big Gold Dog trembled at these words and hurriedly ran with all his might. With this burst of effort, he managed to widen the distance.

Although they had gained some ground, Su Ye was not happy.

The Big Gold Dog belonged to the Qilin clan and possessed the innate ability "Qilin Step," though this was not the Qilin Step of the Ten Fiends.

However, the Five-Colored Luan Bird was no less impressive; it was a top-tier ferocious avian that could not only fly but was also at a higher cultivation realm than the Big Gold Dog.

He now felt that the War Goddess wasn't unable to catch him, but was playing with him like a cat with a mouse, deliberately choosing not to capture him just yet.

"Don't go too far, or I'll fight back!"

Su Ye looked back at the War Goddess and shouted fiercely, though his still-youthful features only made his menacing expression look all the more adorable.

"I'm so scared."

The War Goddess dropped her cold facade, instead putting on the act of a delicate maiden, her expression filled with feigned terror. This only made her appear even more captivating.

"Damn it."

Su Ye's face turned ugly. He wanted nothing more than to charge over and make her truly afraid, but he knew he was no match for the War Goddess, even if he utilized the power of his Samsara Eye.

The War Goddess was at least in the Inscription Realm, while he was only in the Heavenly Passage Realm—a gap of two major realms. Although Su Ye had once killed a noble, that noble could not be compared to the War Goddess, and it wasn't even a true kill, but rather the disposal of a pawn abandoned by God Emperor Qimu.

"You damn dog, why are you so weak? If you were stronger, we wouldn't have to flee so miserably!"

Su Ye slapped the Big Gold Dog, sounding quite disgusted.

The Big Gold Dog nearly cursed out loud, thinking to himself: If I were stronger, would I ever be willing to be your mount? I would have taken you as my mount long ago!

Su Ye pondered how to break the deadlock.

Increase his cultivation?

Even if he opened five Heavenly Passages and reached the peak of the realm, he still wouldn't be a match for the War Goddess. He couldn't turn the tables through cultivation alone.

Use one enemy to defeat another?

Su Ye looked at the forest ahead. The mountain range contained many powerful beasts, but it didn't seem very large. As they had sped through, the surrounding beasts had all cowered in their dens, not even daring to make a sound. Clearly, there were no powerful Beast Kings in this range.

It seemed this tactic wouldn't work either.

Ask Fairy Menglian for help?

Forget it, I can't afford to lose face like that, and the price for her intervention would be far too high.

Hum.

Su Ye condensed runes in his hands, which spread outward, radiating brilliant light and whipping up the dirt, sand, and fallen leaves on the ground.

Wind Dances with Heaven.

The gale roared, and the endless wind converged, transforming into a massive, ferocious bird that commanded the winds of heaven and earth, letting out a constant, deafening screech.

"Is this... the Precious Technique of the Wind Sparrow clan?"

The War Goddess looked at the phantom of the fierce bird blocking her path, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion, for that bird was far too large, and the Wind Sparrow clan was not known for such size.

Though puzzled, the War Goddess did not slow her pace, charging directly into the gale while Five-Colored Divine Light suffused her body, effortlessly neutralizing the violent winds.

The Five-Colored Divine Light possessed not only immense offensive power but also formidable defensive capabilities, capable of dissolving any force.

The massive Wind Sparrow was instantly pierced through by the Five-Colored Divine Light.

As the War Goddess rode the Five-Colored Luan Bird out from the giant phantom of the Wind Sparrow, a figure suddenly slammed into her.

This figure was none other than Su Ye.

The Wind Sparrow Precious Technique had not been intended to stop the War Goddess, but rather to mask his movements and prepare for this sneak attack.

Su Ye clung tightly to the War Goddess like an octopus, and they tumbled off the Five-Colored Luan Bird, while at that very moment, the Big Gold Dog leaped onto the back of the Five-Colored Luan Bird.

"Stupid bird, be this King's mount!"

The Big Gold Dog laughed boisterously, its body now also flowing with a Five-Colored Glow, which resisted the Five-Colored Divine Light of the Five-Colored Luan Bird.
