Chapter 1274: No Way Out

Rumble!

As Ancestral Soul Mountain was moved, the entire Dragon Spirit Cave Heaven began to vibrate wildly at that moment. The Heaven and Earth Origin Qi raged and roared, stirring up endless gales.

Zhou Yuan, Ai Tuanzi, and the others all changed color. Ancestral Soul Mountain was connected to the Dragon Spirit Cave Heaven, serving as the core of this space. If Ancestral Soul Mountain were truly moved, the entire Dragon Spirit Cave Heaven would likely be destroyed and collapse with it.

Most critically, they were still inside the Dragon Spirit Cave Heaven! If the space were destroyed, it would be difficult for them to escape with their lives while trapped within it.

"Everyone, attack together and stop him!" Ai Tuanzi trembled all over, gritted her teeth, and bravely shouted.

Evidently, confronting a Saint with such a challenge required a level of courage unimaginable to ordinary people.

As her voice fell, Ai Tuanzi was the first to act. She channeled her Origin Qi with all her might, forming a powerful offensive that surged directly towards Shi Ying.

Behind her, the other seventh-rank experts from the Myriad Beasts Heaven also gathered their Origin Qi amidst trembling, launching their attacks.

Numerous torrents of Origin Qi roared forth, magnificent in their momentum. Their collective target was merely an infant no larger than two palms, yet the aura they emanated carried a sense of heroic tragedy.

Shi Ying looked up at the whistling Origin Qi attacks, a faint smile seemingly appearing on his childish face. It seemed it had been many years since he had seen an Origin Infant stage expert dare to attack him.

"How pathetic," Shi Ying said. He extended his small hand and pointed into the air.

As his fingertip descended, the void seemed to ripple, and a wave spread outwards.

Wherever the ripple passed, the roaring torrents of Origin Qi instantly solidified in the void, looking like insects trapped in amber.

No matter how violent those Origin Qi torrents were, they could no longer make the slightest movement. Shi Ying casually waved his hand.

The numerous Origin Qi torrents instantly shattered into countless brilliant specks of light.

Meanwhile, Ai Tuanzi and the others’ expressions changed dramatically. An indescribable force descended from the void, pressing down heavily upon them.

Pfft! Ai Tuanzi and many other pseudo-Law Domain experts all spat out blood, their figures retreating in disarray, their momentum instantly weakening.

This kind of confrontation was not on the same level at all.

All the forces present from the Myriad Beasts Heaven had helplessness and despair surfacing in their eyes. They understood that if the Saint Infant hadn't concentrated most of his power on Ancestral Soul Mountain, they wouldn't just be severely injured at this moment.

Zhuang Xiaoming, Jin Qingtian, and other pseudo-Law Domain experts dragged their heavy bodies to Ai Tuanzi's side. Even Ai Zhi, Jiang Hongying, and Meng Chong, these top seventh-rank cultivators, gathered. They were considered the most elite forces of the Myriad Beasts Heaven within the Dragon Spirit Cave Heaven, but at this moment, their faces were filled with panic.

"What do we do now?" Zhuang Xiaoming asked hoarsely.

Ai Tuanzi didn't know how to answer. The Dragon Spirit Cave Heaven was facing destruction, and judging by the earth-shattering commotion from outside the cave heaven earlier, it was likely that even the Saints of Myriad Beasts Heaven were being held back.

They had no retreat now.

Ai Tuanzi softly said, "Now we can only hope that the Saints of Myriad Beasts Heaven can intervene in time. We are utterly helpless."

Her words carried a deep sense of powerlessness.

Everyone fell silent, their faces etched with sorrow. Only then did they truly understand how insignificant their seventh-rank strength was in the eyes of a Saint.

While the forces of Myriad Beasts Heaven were filled with panic and helplessness, Zhou Yuan's brows were also tightly furrowed. He understood that if Shi Ying truly moved Ancestral Soul Mountain and the Dragon Spirit Cave Heaven was destroyed as a result, he would likely find himself in an extremely troublesome situation.

"This old guy isn't his true Saint body, right? Is there any chance we could team up and kill him?" Zhou Yuan asked Tun Tun mentally.

"There's a one percent chance," Tun Tun's thought resonated in his mind.

Zhou Yuan was somewhat surprised and pleased.

"However, there's a ninety-nine percent chance he'll kill us instead."

But when Tun Tun's next thought arrived, Zhou Yuan's surprise froze, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "You're quite humorous, aren't you?"

Tun Tun scoffed, "Zhou Yuan, you're getting too ahead of yourself, even daring to think about killing a Saint!"

Zhou Yuan pursed his lips and said, "What else can we do? Just sit back and watch him destroy the Dragon Spirit Cave Heaven? I don't think he'll kindly let us go once he succeeds."

The reason that guy wasn't attacking now was that he needed to use all his strength to move Ancestral Soul Mountain. Once he was free, Zhou Yuan believed he would wipe out everyone present without hesitation.

After all, for him, it would be a trivial matter.

Hearing this, Tun Tun also fell silent. The current situation was indeed very troublesome: doing something would lead to death, and doing nothing seemed like waiting for death.

Ultimately, it came down to the Saint being too powerful.

Even if the Saint before them wasn't his true body, his power was still beyond what Tun Tun and Zhou Yuan could shake.

"How about we ask Sister Yaoyao for help?" Tun Tun suggested, having thought of an idea.

Zhou Yuan immediately said, disappointed, "Can't you be more ambitious? Do you always want to rely on Yaoyao? Can't we rely on our own strength?"

He paused, then asked, "So, can you contact her now?"

"I thought you could," Tun Tun replied.

Zhou Yuan sighed with a hint of melancholy, "Just shut up, will you?"

He looked troubled. A moment later, his heart stirred, and he said, "Actually, it's not entirely hopeless... I have a method that might be able to pose a slight threat to him."

"Oh?" Tun Tun was surprised by this. With Zhou Yuan's current strength, could he really threaten the Saint Infant? Was he kidding it?

"But my Origin Qi foundation is far from enough. If you could help me increase my Origin Qi by another six or seven hundred billion, it might just be enough," Zhou Yuan said.

Tun Tun was silent for a few breaths, then a roaring thought resonated in his mind: "Increase your Origin Qi by six or seven hundred billion? Zhou Yuan, you're dreaming!"

Can't this guy say something reliable for once?

You know, even combined, their Origin Qi was only three hundred billion. Adding another six or seven hundred billion? That's simply a pipe dream.

Zhou Yuan helplessly said, "Then there's no other way. A clever cook cannot make a meal without rice."

Origin Qi surged from his shoulder, eventually forming a phantom image of Tun Tun.

It seemed to hesitate, then sent a thought asking, "Do you really have a method?"

Zhou Yuan stared at the Saint Infant, who was controlling Ancestral Soul Mountain and slowly pulling it out from deep within the earth. He slowly said, "It's clear that he and Ancestral Soul Mountain are currently in some kind of stalemate, otherwise, the speed of moving the mountain wouldn't be so slow. If my intervention can break this balance, or perhaps loosen this vortex barrier, then his plan won't succeed so easily."

"At that point, Ancestral Soul Mountain might break free from his control and even backfire on him."

He hadn't considered directly harming the Saint Infant; even with hundreds of billions of Origin Qi, or even a trillion, it probably wouldn't be enough. Therefore, his goal from beginning to end was merely to create a disturbance.

Seeing Zhou Yuan's serious expression, a thoughtful look flashed in Tun Tun's beast eyes. "It's not entirely impossible to make your Origin Qi surge to an astonishing level in an instant."

"You can actually do it?" Zhou Yuan asked, surprised.

Tun Tun's beast eyes turned towards Ai Tuanzi and the others in the distance, a hint of mischievous light flickering within them.

"Of course, the premise is that we'll need quite a few tools... but looking at their desperate state, they probably won't refuse."
