You Are Not Allowed to Leave!
The four shadowy figures carrying the coffin stopped in their tracks, their cold "gazes" sweeping over them in an instant—
An indescribable and ineffable sense of foreboding, like an invisible cold wave, suddenly erupted and spread in this already chaotic void without warning!
This "ominous" feeling was neither murderous intent nor oppressive.
Rather, it is a more fundamental mixture of "decay," "death," "taboo," and "unknown," seemingly touching upon the very root of the Dao.
It was formless and intangible, yet it caused every True Lord present, including Qi Yun within the cocoon of light, to feel a chilling tremor deep within their Dao hearts.
The source is that ancient coffin shrouded in shadow!
Almost at the same instant.
The ancient coffin, silent since its appearance, seemingly nothing more than a heavy, lifeless object, lies between its lid and body.
Suddenly, silently—a crack appeared.
The gap was extremely narrow, yet it seemed to connect to some immeasurable abyss.
"Laugh----"
A faint, almost inaudible sound drifted out from the crack.
Immediately following, a viscous, eerie, dark green mist, seemingly imbued with the sedimentation of countless ages and endless death, slowly seeped and diffused from the cracks.
Wherever the fog passed, even the deep shadows that swallowed the light seemed to be "stained" with a nauseating, decaying color.
The next moment!
A hand slowly emerged from the gaps in the dark green, misty coffin and rested on the cold, ancient rim.
It was a hand that could be described as perfect. The skin had an unnatural bluish-white color, yet it faintly shimmered with a jade-like luster, and the slender fingers had distinct knuckles.
But on those bloodless, pale fingertips, a striking crimson stain appeared.
The red was eerily red, blindingly red.
It seemed as if it had just been imbued with some kind of immortal divine blood, or as if it itself contained the ultimate Curse and ominousness.
The moment this hand appeared, the ominous aura that had been spreading suddenly surged by more than a hundredfold!
The terrifying impact, which materialized, crashed heavily into the minds of every True Lord!
Walk!
Without any communication, not even a moment to exchange thoughts, the six True Lord simultaneously unleashed the same thought!
That was an ultimate warning sign, originating from a connection with the Great Dao.
Do not touch!
Do not touch!
Do not spy!
The Wudao Extreme Dharma True Lord reacted the fastest.
The million-mile-long, silent black lotus that stretched across the void instantly contracted, transforming into a dark, condensed beam of light.
The black-robed figure at the heart of the lotus took a step forward, his body merging with the light of escape, tearing through the void and fleeing into the distance!
The four Bodhisattvas were in perfect harmony. Their originally distinct appearances suddenly collapsed inward, and the four brilliant rays of Buddha light merged into one, transforming into a twelve-petaled golden lotus that enveloped the four miniature golden bodies. The golden lotus rotated.
A single thought can reach billions of miles away!
The usually calm and gentle face of the Great Sun Purple Ultimate True Lord was now extremely solemn.
Without any hesitation, the cocoon of light enveloping Qi Yun suddenly contracted, transforming into a single, extremely condensed point of protective light that merged into Qi Yun's brow.
At the same time, he was radiant with Infinite Light.
The light was not dazzling, but it carried a supreme Daoist charm of "constant presence" and "protection."
They forcibly opened up an absolutely safe and eternal "present" passage, intending to escape with Qi Yun.
And just as the True Lord fled!
The four shadowy True Lord carrying the coffin stepped forward in unison once more.
Their pace remained slow and unhurried.
But with each step, the deep shadow beneath their feet spread forward like a tide, precisely covering the area in front of the six True Lord' escape lights.
No matter how the six True Lord changed direction, or what exquisite escape techniques they used, whether they shattered the void, merged with time, or simply followed their thoughts.
The four figures carrying the coffin could catch up with them in an instant, like maggots clinging to a bone, with just one step.
The shadows and terror once again loomed over them!
Several attempts, each time easily overtaken.
The dark green mist emanating from the ancient coffin seemed to have thickened, and the crimson at the fingertips appeared even more glaring.
The six True Lord, who usually looked down upon the Xuanhuang and whose words carried the weight of law, struggled left and right in that shadow-shrouded void, but could not escape it.
"Great Sun."
In the midst of this suffocating, almost desperate chase, Qi Yun, protected by the Great Sun Purple Ultimate True Lord, suddenly spoke.
His voice was calm, even thoughtful.
"Take me to the other side."
His gaze swept over the ancient coffin and the figures carrying it, which were relentlessly pursuing yet always seemed to maintain a certain "distance" from the True Lord.
"This strange ancient coffin—its target seems to be only you ' True Lord '."
Upon hearing this, the Great Sun Purple Ultimate True Lord's gentle eyes flashed slightly, and he instantly understood Qi Yun's intention.
He didn't hesitate for a moment, nor did he have time to ask any more questions.
"Careful!"
With a low shout, the constant, protective radiance of the Great Sun Purple Ultimate True Lord's palm suddenly changed, transforming into a gentle yet resilient pushing force that lightly imprinted itself on Qi Yun's back.
Qi Yun's figure instantly transformed into a barely perceptible Flowing Light, shooting off towards the side of the void, completely opposite to the escape direction of the six True Lord and deviating from the front of the ancient coffin!
The process went more smoothly than I had imagined.
The ancient coffin, the four shadowy figures carrying it, and even the pale blue hand resting on the rim inside the coffin, showed no reaction to the departure of Qi Yun's wisp of "light".
Just as Qi Yun had predicted, this ancient coffin and the entity behind it had a clear target: the "True Lord"!
Once outside the core area shrouded in shadow and terror, the chilling sense of foreboding and the feeling of spatial stagnation immediately diminished.
Qi Yun steadied himself, hovering in the relatively "safe" void in the distance. A faint light flashed between his brows as he cautiously activated a trace of the mysterious power of the [Six Realms Heaven], remotely locking onto and sensing that battlefield.
Instead of fleeing immediately, he narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharp as lightning, and followed closely the terrifying scene of "True Lord carrying a coffin, chasing after a powerful being."
In the vast, chaotic void, six beams of light, each a different color and brimming with power, were frantically changing direction at an unimaginable speed, attempting to escape.
Behind them, four shadowy figures carrying ancient coffins moved unhurriedly. With each step they took, the shadows followed them relentlessly, maintaining a relentless and despairing "following" posture.
The chase continued, and the area shrouded in shadow shifted constantly in the chaos.
However, Qi Yun's brows furrowed even more deeply.
wrong.
Given the terrifying power displayed by that ancient coffin—capable of easily distorting space and leaving even six True Lord helpless—if they truly intended to kill the True Lord, they shouldn't have simply "chased" them like this.
The owner of the hand in the coffin gave Qi Yun the feeling that he was unfathomable, and his level might far exceed that of True Lord.
If they go all out, I'm afraid...
"It doesn't seem to really intend to kill or capture them."
Qi Yun's mind raced, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
"It's more like—driving them away!"
Once the idea was formed, many details became clear.
The ancient coffin maintained its distance at all times, neither too fast nor too slow, pursuing but not killing.
The shadows covered the area, distorting space and seemingly blocking their path, yet always leaving a sliver of space, forcing the True Lord to change their escape routes in a general direction.
That direction is----
Qi Yun's gaze suddenly sharpened as he looked into the depths of chaos, towards the source of the Xuanhuang Home Realm, where familiar and vast world fluctuations faintly emanated!
Without further hesitation, he trailed far behind, relying on the concealment and sensing abilities of the [Six Realms Heaven] to carefully follow this bizarre and terrifying chase.
Time seemed to lose its meaning in the midst of the intense pursuit.
Finally, after being forced to turn away by the shadow once again, the escape lights of the six True Lord rushed into an invisible boundary where the Principle of heaven and earth faintly resonated with them.
The void territory where the Xuanhuang Home Realm is located!
The moment the six streaks of light completely entered this territory, a sudden change occurred!
The four shadowy figures carrying the coffin, who had been following them relentlessly as if determined to achieve their goal, and the ancient coffin exuding endless ominousness and terror, suddenly stopped!
They stopped just outside the borders of that territory.
Shadows rolled, and the ancient coffin remained silent.
The dark green mist that permeated the gaps in the coffin lid seemed to freeze for a moment.
The long, slender, pale hand with crimson fingertips that had been resting on the edge of the coffin paused slightly, and then, very slowly, very gradually, withdrew.
It disappeared into the mist that filled the coffin.
Clang.
A faint, almost imperceptible muffled thud, as if from another dimension.
The gap that had been opened closed again perfectly.
Four shadowy figures stood silently in the chaos beyond the border, facing the direction of the Xuanhuang Territory, "gazing" for a moment.
Subsequently, through the remote perception of Qi Yun [Six Realms Heaven].
The four figures, along with the ancient coffin and the deep, heavy shadow, began to slowly fade and become transparent, as if merging into the chaos itself.
In the blink of an eye, it vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.
Only a faint, almost imperceptible trace of extreme ominousness and deathly stillness lingered in the chaos beyond the boundary, proving that everything just now was not an illusion.
Qi Yun, who was watching this scene from afar, had a sharp light in his eyes, like a flame burning on an icy plain.
My suspicions were brutally confirmed at that moment.
"Really----"
"It's not a pursuit, but rather—driving them back into their cages."
"There is some kind of power, or rather, will—"
Qi Yun's gaze became incredibly profound as he looked towards the seemingly calm yet turbulent Xuanhuang Home Realm, and then glanced at the chaotic depths where the ancient coffin had disappeared.
"It's restricting the True Lord —from leaving the Xuanhuang Home Realm!"
