Outside the realm.
The vastness of the universe was something humans would never be able to fully grasp. In this vast, primordial space, three tiny figures shuttled back and forth. No matter how fast they moved, they couldn't cause even the slightest ripple.
"Gone!"
They stopped in the midst of the primordial space. All they could see was darkness and primal chaos. Behind them, they could vaguely make out a few tiny, dust-like planets.
The one who spoke was none other than the Great Sage, who'd transformed into a supreme treasure and was clad in Fairy Zixia's matching robes.
He hefted the Ruyi Jingu Bang, his Fiery Eyes of Gold twinkling. In the darkness of the primordial chaos, they were like two bright lanterns.
He looked around, his hand still on his eyebrows. He bent down slightly, as if searching for something.
"Monkey, what's wrong with you? We trusted you so much, yet you're telling us you lost it?"
Yang Jian couldn't help but glare. The three people in the sky were, of course, the Great Sage, Yang Jian, and Su Liu'er, the Queen of the Foxes, who'd been sent outside to investigate the Yuan-Breaker Beast.
"Didn't you say your Fiery Eyes of Gold could see us? We've been chasing that big guy's ass the whole time, and now you're telling me it's gone?"
When Yang Jian and the others had come to investigate the Yuan-Breaker Beast, they'd first gone to the area surrounding the annihilated advance guard.
Speaking of which, they were lucky. When they arrived, the Yuan-Breaker Beast was still happily enjoying its meal. Naturally, they also saw the heroes who'd died tragically at the Yuan-Breaker Beast's hands.
They ran into Yang Jian and the others, and as expected, the three of them attacked the Yuan-Breaker Beast.
Just as Su Liu'er had said, the Yuan-Breaker Beast in the video was truly ferocious. Even imperial lords like them couldn't help but shudder when they saw it.
However, when they actually clashed with the beast, they realized ….
The Yuan-Breaker Beast wasn't as fierce as they'd imagined!
It was undeniable that the Yuan-Breaker Beast was somewhat strong, but that was only because of its enormous size.
That was its advantage. Unfortunately, its attacks were too simplistic. Or perhaps it was better to say that it was unintelligent and only retained the most primitive instincts of a wild beast.
Meeting Yang Jian and the others had also determined the fate of this Yuan Breaking Beast.
After fighting for less than an hour, this Yuan Breaking Beast, which was several hundred feet tall, was already severely injured. It knew that it was no match for him and fled.
The size of its body did not affect its agility at all. It could also be that it had an advantage in the Void of Primal Chaos that belonged to its species. Even with their speed, Yang Jian and the others were unable to catch up to it. They could only follow behind it, following the smell of blood and its back.
However, because their journey was too long, they were already in the Primal Chaos.
Fortunately, after becoming a Ruler, his need for oxygen was no longer as severe.
Although there was no air in the Chaos Void that humans could rely on to survive, Yang Jian and the others could absorb other elements to prevent themselves from suffocating.
However, the special environment still caused their divine senses to be unable to extend beyond a kilometer. In this environment, Yang Jian's Heaven's Eye could only see about two kilometers away.
Only the Great Sage's Fiery Eyes of Truth could see everything clearly from ten thousand meters away. As a result, the job of leading the way naturally fell onto the Great Sage's shoulders.
Who would have thought that in less than the time it took to brew a cup of tea, the Great Sage would lose track of him?
"Monkey ….."
Yang Jian sighed heavily. He pointed at the Great Sage, unable to say anything for a long time.
If they lost the injured Yuan Breaker Beast, then their only lead would be cut off. They would no longer be able to truly investigate the situation of the Outerealm Gods. Fortunately, they did not return empty-handed. At the very least, they knew that the Yuan Break Beast was not as fierce as they had imagined. Its strength was at most at the Emperor Realm. If they sent enough Dominators, they would be able to kill it. Moreover, its attacks were simple. It had no self-awareness.
The intelligent human race and the intelligent demon race had an advantage.
This time, the rare Great Sage didn't retort. He knew that losing the Yuan Breaker Beast was his problem. Earlier, he'd confidently patted his chest and guaranteed that there wouldn't be any mistakes.
"What do we do now?"
The Great Sage licked his lips, his expression unnatural.
"What else can we do? Let's go back and tell Ye and the others about our findings. Hopefully, it'll be of some use." Yang Jian shrugged.
Actually, he was unwilling to give up. They'd already chased to this point. They were so close to catching the Yuan Breaker Beast. They might even know where the Outerealm Gods' nest was.
The only disadvantage the Third Era had against the Outerealm Gods was the enemy's mysteriousness.
They didn't know how the Outerealm Gods' experts were, nor where their nest was.
It was because of this unknown that the Third Era's people were shrouded in darkness. Even more infuriating was that even if the Outerealm Gods' attack failed, they could return to their nest to rest. The Third Era didn't know where their nest was, so they could only defend bitterly.
Just a little more!
Yang Jian clenched his fists tightly. However, no matter how unwilling he was, it was useless.
The trail had already been cut off. The Yuan Breaker Beast must have found a safe place to recuperate. While they were here, it might have already returned to the clan.
Even if the Great Sage stayed here, it wouldn't help.
Perhaps when the Yuan Breaker Beast recovered, it would bring its clansmen to cause trouble.
Although they were elite imperial lords and could take on several Yuan Breaker Beasts on their own, no one knew how many clansmen the Yuan Breaker Beast would bring with it. However, nobody knew how many clansmen the Aura Breaker Beast would bring with it. What's more, Ye Zichen had already said that the Aura Breaker Beast was merely the lowest level of existence. Above them were gods with intelligence.
Those Gods were undoubtedly much stronger than the Yuan Breaker Beast. Perhaps they were even beast tamers.
With them leading the way, the Yuan Breaker Beast's lack of intelligence would actually become its advantage.
The Great Sage agreed with their decision to go back the way they'd come. However, they didn't leave right away. They knew full well that Su Liu'er had the final say.
They'd come to the Outside because they'd followed her.
"Liu'er."
The Great Sage was Yuan Hong's older brother, so he was somewhat close to Su Liu'er.
He whispered to Su Liu'er, but Su Liu'er didn't respond in the slightest. She didn't seem to have any intention of retreating, either.
"Let's go back?"
The Great Sage couldn't help but ask. Yang Jian nodded.
To his surprise, Su Liu'er advanced another hundred meters. Because she cultivated the Breath of Ice, her hair had long since turned silver-white.
