Chapter 1720: The three-man team Outside

Outside, in empty s.p.a.ce.

The vastness of the universe would always be more than humanity could fully comprehend. In this seemingly chaotic, vast emptiness, three miniscule figures shot through the void. No matter how fast they moved, they couldnt stir up the slightest ripples.

Nothing! They stopped within the void of s.p.a.ce, but all they saw was pitch-black nothingness. When they looked behind them, they could dimly discern a few planets, but from this distance, they looked like specks of dust.

The one whod just spoken was the incarnation of Supreme Treasure, the Great Sage. He was currently wearing his and Fairy Zixias matching couple outfit.

He raised the Ruyi Jingu Bang, and his Fiery Eyes of Truth flashed, like two bright lamps amidst the darkness of the void.

He surveyed his surroundings, then put his hands to his eyebrows and crouched down, as if searching for something.

Monkey, whats going on with you? We trusted you, and now youre telling me you lost track of them?

Yang Jians thick eyebrows shot up, and he glared. This trio was, naturally, the one whod gone off to investigate the Outside and the era-destroying giant beast: the Great Sage, Yang Jian, and Fox Queen Su Liuer.

Didnt you say you could see it with your Fiery Eyes of Truth? Weve been on that big lugs tail all this time, yet now youre saying you lost him?

This group had come to investigate the primordial giant beast, and survey the place where the earlier scouting expedition had fallen.

In a way, they were lucky. When they arrived, the Ender was still there, enjoying his delicacies. They naturally saw the bodies of the scouts it had killed, too; due to the lack of gravity, their mangled corpses still hovered in s.p.a.ce.

When the three of them saw the beast, as expected, they attacked. It was just as Su Liuer said earlier: the beast in the video really did have a surging, powerful aura. Although they were imperial lords, they couldnt help but tremble when they saw it.

However, when they actually crossed blades with it, they discovered

The giant primordial beast wasnt as fierce as theyd imagined!

They couldnt deny that it had some real strength, but it mostly just relied on its enormous body.

This was its advantage, but its attacks were too simplistic. Or rather, it wasnt particularly bright, and it could only attack in the most primitive, b.e.s.t.i.a.l of ways.

When it encountered Yang Jians trio, its fate was sealed.

After clas.h.i.+ng for less than half an hour, the thousand-foot-tall primordial giant beast was grievously injured. It knew it was no match for them, so it scurried off in a panic.

Although it was huge, that didnt influence its agility in the least. Or perhaps this sort of chaotic void was advantageous to beasts like it. Either way, Yang Jian, the Great Sage, and Su Liuer couldnt catch up with it right away. They could only keep after it, following the smell of its blood.

However, due to their long journey, theyd long since entered chaotic s.p.a.ce.

Fortunately, after becoming rulers, their need for oxygen was far less severe.

Although the chaotic void of outer s.p.a.ce lacked the atmosphere humans needed to survive, the three of them could absorb other elemental essences to sustain their bodies and prevent suffocation.

However, this unusual environment still restricted their divine senses range to under a thousand meters. Even Yang Jians celestial eyes range could only extend about two thousand meters.

Only the Great Sages Fiery Eyes of Truth could see clearly, even from ten thousand meters away. That was why the task of forging the path ahead naturally landed on the Great Sages shoulders.

Who would have thought that, just a pot of teas worth of time later, the Great Sage would lose sight of their target!

Monkey. Yang Jian sighed, stretched out his hand and pointed at the Great Sage, but a long time pa.s.sed without him saying anything.

Theyd lost the wounded Enders trail, which meant theyd lost their only lead, and they couldnt truly investigate the Outsider G.o.ds situation. Fortunately, they wouldnt be returning from this expedition empty-handed; at least theyd learned that the Enders werent as vicious as they imagined, and that they were at most imperial kings. If the scouting expedition had enough rulers, they could have killed it themselves. The giant beasts attacks were too simple, and it lacked the ability to think. This gave humans and sentient yao an advantage against it.

Unusually, the Great Sage had no retort. He knew it was his fault theyd lost the giant beasts trail. Hed been so confident earlier, patting his chest and guaranteeing nothing would go wrong, only for this to happen.

What do we do now? The Great Sage licked his lips, and his expression wasnt quite natural.

What else can we do? Lets just go back and tell Ye Zichen and the others what we found. Hopefully itll be somewhat useful. Yang Jian shrugged.

Honestly, he wasnt at all willing. Theyd already chased it this far. Just a little more, and they were sure to catch it. They might even find the Outsider G.o.ds nest.

The Third Eras biggest disadvantage was how mysterious their enemies were.

They didnt know how many experts the Outsider G.o.ds had, nor did they know where they lived.

It was because of all this uncertainty that the people of the Third Era lived beneath such a dark shadow. Even more stifling, even when the Outsider G.o.ds offensive failed, they could just hide in their lair and recover. The Third Era didnt know where their nest was, so they could only defend bitterly.

They were so close!

Yang Jian clenched his fist, but unwillingness wouldnt help them now.

Theyd lost their only clue. The era-destroying giant beast had definitely found a safe place to nurse its wounds, and even if they lingered here, it might very well have returned home already.

Even if they stuck around, it would be of no use.

Perhaps, if they waited until the beast recovered from its wounds, it would bring its clansmen back to make trouble for them.

Although the three of them were elites even among imperial lords, and they could defeat several era-destroying giant beasts on their own, they had no way of knowing just how many beasts would attack at once. Also, Ye Zichen had told them that the beasts were only the lowest-ranked of their enemies, and that they were led by sentient divinities.

These divinities cultivations were undoubtedly even higher, and they might very well be beast masters.

With the Outsider G.o.ds to lead them, the beasts lack of sentience, their biggest disadvantage, might very well become an advantage.

The Great Sage agreed to follow their path back from whence theyd come, but they didnt begin their journey back right away. They knew full well that the true decision-making power lay with Su Liuer.

Theyd come to the s.p.a.ce Outside following Su Liuer, after all.

Liuer.

The Great Sage was still Yuan Hongs older brother, and he was relatively close to Su Liuer.

He turned to her and whispered, but she didnt respond at all. When he took in her expression, he saw absolutely no intention of returning.

Shall we go back? The Great Sage couldnt help but ask, and Yang Jian nodded, only for Su Liuer to shoot another hundred meters further into s.p.a.ce. Since she cultivated the Breath of Ice, her long hair had long since turned silvery white.

Strands of her long, silvery hair fluttered about despite the complete absence of winds in outer s.p.a.ce. She raised her palm and fired off the Breath of Ices cold energy in an endless stream. If you want to go, go. I refuse to believe that a mere wounded beast can escape from right under three imperial lords noses. It. is absolutely still nearby! If it thinks it can hide, Ill just have to freeze it out!
