Chapter 2682: Chapter 2682: Departure
Taking out the three Crystal Skulls, under their guidance, Su Yang and his companions finally burst out of the Immortal Palace.
In the Ancient Battlefield, Buddha Venerable still sat cross-legged in the air, seemingly waiting for Su Yang and the others to emerge.
On Buddha Venerable’s shoulder, the Golden Winged Roc stood proudly.
After not seeing him for a hundred years, the power of the Golden Winged Roc had almost fully recovered.
Seeing Su Yang and the others come out, the Golden Winged Roc immediately let out an exhilarating screech of an eagle. Only the Buddha Venerable remained unmoved, as calm as an ancient well, as if nothing had happened.
Su Yang knew that this was just a trace of Buddha Venerable’s remnant soul’s Spiritual Sense, always guarding the Ancient Battlefield. The real Buddha Venerable actually died in the Ancient Times, leaving only a trace of Spiritual Sense remaining.
However, Su Yang couldn’t understand why, although Reincarnation had already been reshaped and the powerful human warriors of ancient times had gradually been drawn back, Buddha Venerable had not been brought back at this time. What on earth was going on?
"Glad to have not failed the mission!" Su Yang saluted Buddha Venerable: "We have obtained the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet!"
Buddha Venerable remained unmoved, the Golden Winged Roc let out a joyful screech and flew around in the air.
However, before the Golden Winged Roc could land, a tremor suddenly came from the entrance of the Immortal Palace. Following this, a group of people burst out of the main gate of the Immortal Palace, full of momentum and rushing out.
Fortunately, the fog outside the Immortal Palace enveloped over as well, blocking this group of people.
This was a seal left by the Three Great Ancient warriors of the Ancient Times, specifically to lock down the Immortal Palace.
The First God was thus blocked at the main gate of the Immortal Palace.
"Buddha Venerable!" the First God roared: "Immediately have him hand over the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, and this matter will be over. Otherwise, we will break out of the Immortal Palace now and fight you to the death!"
Buddha Venerable remained still, only a great golden light shone from his body, covering the entire Immortal Palace. Thus, the fog outside the Immortal Palace became even stronger, enveloping the palace even more tightly.
This action was telling the people of the Immortal Palace that he would not back down!
The guardians were even more furious, and the First God shouted: "Buddha Venerable, do you really think that just by guarding this place, we cannot get out? We just wanted to bide our time and slowly recover our strength, not wanting to cause too much killing. But you have gone too far, stealing the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, do you think we will let it go? If we fight to the end, can you alone stop us?"
Buddha Venerable still did not answer, and the golden light did not weaken at all, completely suppressing the area.
"Ah!" The First God roared: "In that case, there’s nothing more to say, charge out!"
The guardians behind him howled and charged forward, desperately hitting the exit of the Immortal Palace.
Buddha Venerable flew into the air, simply sitting cross-legged above the Immortal Palace, personally suppressing it.
Seeing this situation, Su Yang’s expression changed. He hadn’t expected such a violent reaction from the people of the Immortal Palace, as if they were ready to rush out.
"Buddha Venerable Senior, maybe we should leave this place first!" Su Yang hurriedly said: "We have already reshaped Reincarnation, the powerful human warriors of ancient times have returned, we are not afraid of these guardians!"
Buddha Venerable remained unmoved, while the Golden Winged Roc landed and wrote three large words in the air with its wings — Follow Me!
"Where to?" Su Yang was surprised. Shouldn’t they stay here to assist Buddha Venerable?
The Golden Winged Roc did not answer, it waved its wings and wrapped Su Yang and his companions.
Unable to resist, Su Yang and his companions were taken by the Golden Winged Roc to the other side of the Immortal Palace, where there was an entrance, the place Su Yang and the others had previously come from.
"This..." Su Yang was surprised: "You want us to leave this place?"
The Golden Winged Roc nodded, pointed at the passage, and signaled Su Yang and the others to leave quickly.
"This won’t do!" Su Yang immediately said: "If we leave, how will Buddha Venerable deal with so many people in the Immortal Palace alone?"
The Golden Winged Roc shook its head and waved its wings, writing a line of words in the air — Buddha Venerable is not here, no need to worry!
"What?" Su Yang’s eyes widened. Isn’t the Buddha outside Buddha Venerable? Why isn’t Buddha Venerable here?
At this moment, the Golden Winged Roc seemed a bit anxious, waved its wings again, and directly pushed Su Yang and the others into the passage, and it itself also flew away.
Su Yang and his companions, in this passage, were bewildered, not knowing what was going on.
"Forget it, let’s just go!" The Second City Lord waved his hand: "Buddha Venerable must have his reasons for doing this. Boss, we’ve got the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, let’s take it back to the Nine Realms and let our Human Clan’s strong practitioners cultivate first. It has been so many years, Little Huang could only support for three hundred years, who knows what the situation is in the Nine Realms!"
Thinking of the Nine Realms, Su Yang was also worried, knowing he really couldn’t delay here.
Moreover, the Golden Winged Roc also said that Buddha Venerable is not here. That suggests that Buddha Venerable might not be in danger this time.
Although they didn’t know what exactly the situation was, given the current circumstance, they couldn’t afford to waste time here.
"Let’s go!" Su Yang nodded.
The group moved towards the vortex at the end of the passage, where Su Yang had the Chaos Sparrow stabilize the passage, and they traversed the passage headed towards another Great World.
With the Chaos Sparrow’s ability, it could directly transport Su Yang and his companions to the Nine Realms through a Great World. But the problem is, they must be inside the Great World space, and the situation within the Immortal Palace’s passage is special, it cannot directly lead outside.
Therefore, for Su Yang and his companions to return to the Nine Realms, they must reach a Great World first and then use that Great World to transport back to the Nine Realms.
The Chaos Sparrow randomly picked a Great World, Su Yang and his companions walked out of the Immortal Palace’s passage and arrived at the Array outside the palace.
To enter the Great World, they must go through this Array.
However, as soon as Su Yang and the others reached the Array, they were immediately surrounded by a group of skeletons.
These skeletons were the guardians who died in the Ancient Times outside the Immortal Palace.
Seeing Su Yang and the four coming out, these skeletons immediately surrounded them and roared as they attacked.
No doubt, the First God had already ordered the skeletons outside the Immortal Palace to stop Su Yang.
This situation was quite unexpected for Su Yang. However, he did not panic and immediately summoned the illusion in his body.
The combined illusion of Buddha Venerable and Heaven Slayer was immensely powerful, clearing the path ahead.
Su Yang and the other three followed behind, with three of the nine lotus flowers beside Buddha Venerable coiling around them. These three lotuses blocked all attacks from outside, and the skeletons couldn’t harm them in the slightest.
