Dark currents stirred at the Ancient Domain Platform
As various powerful Dou Technique crashed into the Beast Tide horde, the number of Ferocious Beast at the forefront decreased sharply, with many dying or being injured, and a fairly large blank space appeared in the Beast Tide horde.
Perhaps if things continue like this, we can break through the Beast Tide's blockade, but human strength is ultimately limited, and once our Dou Qi is exhausted, we will become weak.
Sure enough, Gu Yuena was already showing signs of weakness. Although the power of the Rift-Splitting Spear Shadows was strong, she was only an Early-Stage Dou Zun. The Dou Qi consumption of activating Heaven Tier Dou Technique was too great, and she could not sustain it for long.
Apart from Li Changqing, the situation was roughly the same for everyone else.
Looking at the Beast Tide again, the gaps created by the earlier kills have been filled by other Ferocious Beast.
Feeling his Dou Qi gradually being depleted, Hun Yu's expression turned grim.
After the fierce battle, a large number of Ferocious Beast had died or been wounded, but the Ferocious Beast had virtually no impact on the overall number of Ferocious Beast covering the entire Black Plains.
The other Dou Zun of the Hun Clan looked at Hun Yu and advised, "Lord Hun Yu, there are simply too many of these Ferocious Beasts. We can't kill them all. We must retreat quickly, or there may be casualties."
Hun Yu unleashed a gigantic black palm, instantly killing countless Ferocious Beast charging at the forefront. Looking at the endless Ferocious Beast, Hun Yu reluctantly gave the order, "Retreat!"
The other Dou Zun breathed a sigh of relief; they were genuinely worried that Hun Yu wouldn't listen to their advice.
After unleashing their battle Dou Qi to kill the nearest Ferocious Beast, they retreated towards the Mountain Range behind them.
"Let's go," Li Changqing instructed Gu Yuena and the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
The group quickly left the Black Plains and returned to the Mountain Range.
After approaching the Mountain Range, the Ferocious Beast seemed to sense the aura of the Ancient Domain Platform and did not advance further. They stared at Li Changqing and his group for a moment before retreating.
Li Changqing glanced at Hun Yu, whose face was gloomy, but didn't say anything more. He then called Gu Yuena and the Amethyst Winged Lion King back to the Ancient Domain Platform.
After glancing at the retreating Beast Tide, Hun Yu led the other Dou Zun back to the Ancient Domain Platform.
Upon seeing Hun Yu and his group return, those powerful individuals who had been mocked by Hun Yu earlier all thought to themselves that Hun Yu deserved it, but no one dared to say it aloud.
Li Changqing found an open space to sit down. The Amethyst Winged Lion King lay down behind Li Changqing, and Gu Yuena also sat down cross-legged next to Li Changqing.
Hun Yu and the others also found an open space near Li Changqing to rest, waiting for more powerful individuals to gather so they could break through the Beast Tide's blockade.
Over the next few days, powerful individuals continued to enter the Ancient Domain Platform, all recklessly attempting to break through the Beast Tide's blockade on their own.
But as expected, everyone was stunned by the seemingly endless Beast Tide.
Some people, upon witnessing the terrifying Beast Tide, retreated directly to the Ancient Domain Platform to wait without even attempting anything.
Some people took a chance and tried, but failed miserably, and some even died under the iron hooves of the Beast Tide.
On this day, a powerful group of people arrived.
They were from the Gu Clan, consisting of five people, with Gu Xun'er as their leader.
Hun Yu gave the people from the Gu Clan a sinister look, then closed his eyes again to wait.
Li Changqing also looked up. The Yin-Yang Flame within his body sensed the approach of the Heavenly Flames. Following the sensation, he discovered that it was a member of the Gu Clan.
Apart from Gu Xun'er, Li Changqing didn't recognize any of them.
However, without exception, these people were all very young and powerful. According to the original work, they were all geniuses of the younger generation of the Gu Clan.
But it was only a glance; Li Changqing didn't care about the Gu Clan, only a question arose in his mind.
The Gu Clan who came to the Ancient Desolate Domain were all young geniuses, including Gu Xun'er, the biological daughter of the clan leader Gu Yuan, who wielded the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame Gu Xun'er.
If all of these people were to perish in the Ancient Desolate Domain, then the Gu Clan's powerful lineage would be wiped out.
I really don't know how Gu Yuan could be so carefree. When he sent Gu Xun'er to the Xiao Family, he entrusted her with the protection of a Dou Huang. That would have been barely acceptable.
But in such a dangerous place as the Ancient Desolate Domain, they didn't even send a Half-Saint to protect it; they're really careless.
After arriving at the Ancient Domain Platform, Gu Qingyang, the strongest of the younger generation of the Gu Clan, scanned the powerful figures on the plaza and quickly discovered that the Hun Clan had gathered nearly twenty Dou Zun.
Seeing so many people from the Hun Clan arrive, including one whose strength even he couldn't discern, he was astonished.
This startled Gu Qingyang slightly. He moved closer to Gu Xun'er, pointed to the location of the Hun Clan, and said:
"Miss, look, it's the Hun Clan. I didn't expect them to arrive first, and with so many powerful experts. We'll have to be careful later."
Gu Xun'er and the other members of the Gu Clan looked in the direction Gu Qingyang was pointing.
There were simply too many powerful figures from the Hun Clan, and since the other powerful figures had all moved away from the Hun Clan, leaving a large open space around them, everyone spotted the Hun Clan members at a glance.
Gu Hua was startled. "They really are from the Hun Clan. That chilling aura that even the soul feels cannot be faked."
"However, it seems that the auras of three of them are different from the others of the Hun Clan. The purple lion and the silver-haired woman don't have the chilling feeling unique to the Hun Clan. As for that seemingly young man, I can't even see through his abilities."
Gu Qingyang nodded. "I can't fathom that person's true strength either. And although those three are in the same place as the Hun Clan, they are clearly some distance away from the rest of the Hun Clan. Could it be that they have formed a temporary alliance with the Hun Clan?"
Gu Xun'er was surprised and stared intently at Li Changqing and Gu Yuena. Clearly, Gu Xun'er recognized the two of them.
Back when Xiao Yan was jilted by Nalan Yanran in the Xiao Family hall, Gu Xun'er saw Li Changqing and Gu Yuena appear out of nowhere, and she still remembers them vividly to this day.
The reason Gu Xun'er remembered Li Changqing was simple: she learned from Xiao Yan that Li Changqing, like Xiao Yan, came from a place outside the Dou Qi Continent.
Gu Xun'er will never forget anything related to Xiao Yan.
As for why Gu Yuena is remembered, the reason is simple: Gu Yuena made a move and, in front of everyone in the Xiao Family's hall, made someone's head explode.
For a teenage girl, it would be hard not to remember such a scene.
Gu Xun'er never expected to meet Li Changqing and Gu Yuena in the Desolate Ancient Domain.
Looking at Gu Xun'er's unmoving gaze, Gu Qingyang asked, "Does Miss know those two people and the lion?"
Gu Xun'er shook her head. "No, he just looks somewhat familiar. Perhaps we've met somewhere before, but it's nothing to worry about."
Gu Xun'er changed the subject, continuing, "According to the Gu Clan's records, to enter the depths of the Ancient Desolate Domain, one must pass through a terrifying Beast Tide."
"Looking at the people on the Ancient Domain Platform, they all carry varying degrees of malevolent energy and the blood of Ferocious Beast. It seems they all tried to break through the Beast Tide, but failed."
"We don't need to waste our energy trying. Let's wait here until we gather enough powerful individuals. Perhaps then we can break through the Beast Tide's blockade and enter the depths of the ancient domain."
