Chapter 1306: Spirit Transference

Terrifying Genesis Qi shockwaves ravaged the land. Within a hundred thousand li radius, all mountains and abysses were leveled. From high above, through the swirling dust and smoke, an enormous crater could be seen.

High in the sky, a rift suddenly appeared in the void.

Four figures emerged, looking down at the giant crater below.

All four exuded an aura of terrifying power. Vertical lines were visible on their foreheads, within which an unknown substance subtly writhed, inspiring dread.

They were four Law Domain experts of the Saint Race!

The four Saint Race Law Domain experts gazed down impassively. One of them spoke, "They should be completely dead, right?"

The other Law Domain experts nodded. "Originally, we didn't want to cause more trouble, but they were already close to the secret realm. To avoid complications, we had no choice but to decisively eliminate them."

"We'll restore the terrain later and then stir up the chaos. The Saints of all-heavens won't be able to detect anything, especially since we fooled them before."

"However, one of those people from earlier seemed a bit familiar..."

"Is that so? I didn't pay much attention."

"Never mind. No matter who it was, with the four of us acting together, they shouldn't have had a chance to survive..."

As the four Saint Race Law Domain experts conversed, the dust and smoke on the ground below completely dissipated, revealing the massive crater. Zhou Yuan and the others were nowhere to be found, as if they had turned to dust.

Yet, the four Saint Race Law Domain experts were extremely cautious and didn't relax easily. Simultaneously, they activated their perception, scanning every inch of the land, not even sparing the depths of the earth.

This search continued for a moment.

Suddenly, one of the Saint Race Law Domain experts' expressions changed, and he exclaimed, "They're not dead!"

The instant his voice fell, the ground below suddenly burst open. A streak of light shot out with indescribable speed.

Upon closer inspection, several figures were enveloped within the streak of light – precisely Zhou Yuan and his companions from before.

Seeing this, the four Saint Race Law Domain experts were astonished and enraged. Who could have imagined that their combined destructive assault failed to completely eliminate this group of individuals who seemed to be only at the Genesis Infant stage?

"Don't let them escape!"

The four shouted almost simultaneously, their killing intent causing the air to freeze.

The four Saint Race Law Domain experts instantly unleashed their Law Domains. The next moment, four beams of light shot out from within. A closer look would reveal that each beam contained an object, from which boundless power emanated – these were Law Domain Treasures!

Evidently, in this crucial moment, the four Saint Race Law Domain experts chose to use their most powerful artifacts.

As the four destructive Law Domain Treasures tore through the air, Zhou Yuan, who was carrying Su Youwei and the others, felt his scalp tighten. These four Saint Race Law Domain experts were clearly elites within the Law Domain. With such power, he might be able to handle one, but with their numerical advantage, even with Tun Tun, a direct confrontation would be troublesome.

What truly made Zhou Yuan wary was the sudden appearance of Saint Race Law Domain experts here. Who knew if Saint Race Saints were also present?!

At a time like this, he dared not engage them for even a moment!

The four Law Domain Treasures from behind struck with the speed of thunder, making evasion nearly impossible.

"Zhou Yuan, be careful!" Wu Yao hastily warned.

However, Zhou Yuan did not accelerate. Instead, his eyes flickered slightly. In that brief hesitation, the four Law Domain Treasures descended with a roar.

Zhao Mu Shen, Wu Yao, and Su Youwei could only feel the overwhelming destructive power surging towards them, a sense of dread rising in their hearts. Just as they thought death was inevitable, Zhou Yuan's body suddenly shattered into thousands of streams of light, enveloping them. The next instant, the void fractured, and they had vanished into thin air.

The four Law Domain Treasures pierced through, only scattering some wisps of spiritual light.

In the void, the four Saint Race Law Domain experts reappeared.

They looked at the spot where Zhou Yuan and the others had vanished, their expressions grim.

"It was actually a Spirit Wandering Stage spirit..."

"That guy only sent a spiritual avatar here; his true body must be hidden somewhere far away. Now that his spirit has teleported back, we can't catch him."

The four Saint Race Law Domain experts exchanged glances, their brows furrowed. They clearly hadn't expected this individual to be so cautious. A Spirit Wandering Stage spirit could roam all-heavens, and the speed of a spirit was elusive and intangible, something even Law Domain experts like them couldn't match in this regard.

Moreover, if a spirit leaves its body and then returns, it can directly perform a spiritual teleportation. This kind of teleportation speed is truly difficult to block without extensive preparations.

"What now?" one of the Saint Race Law Domain experts frowned.

Another Saint Race Law Domain expert waved his hand. "There's no need to be overly anxious. Even if our tracks are discovered, it doesn't matter. After all, the Saints of all-heavens investigated this area before and found nothing. Once we enter the secret realm, we'll seal all the spatial rifts here. Even if the Saints of all-heavens investigate again, the result will likely be the same as before."

Hearing this, the other Law Domain experts gradually calmed down. They ceased their discussion and vanished into thin air.

Somewhere in the chaotic void, on a small island shrouded in mist.

Zhou Yuan, meditating atop a mountain peak, suddenly opened his tightly shut eyes. At that moment, the void before him shattered, and a streak of light shot forth, directly entering his glabella. Simultaneously, Zhao Mu Shen, Wu Yao, and Su Youwei appeared.

"We actually got out?" Zhao Mu Shen said, a little surprised.

Wu Yao, however, looked thoughtfully at Zhou Yuan. "When we were traveling earlier, you suddenly left your physical body here. Did you anticipate this?"

Zhou Yuan rubbed his slightly aching glabella. Although he had teleported in time, some of his spirit had still been scattered, which had a minor impact on him.

"I merely heard you mention that there were suspected Saint Race fluctuations in that area, so I left a contingency plan. I didn't expect it to actually be needed," Zhou Yuan said casually.

Zhao Mu Shen said gravely, "The Saints of all-heavens investigated before and found no trace of the Saint Race there. How did four Saint Race Law Domain experts suddenly appear? Were they hiding there all along? But how did they evade the perception of the Saints of all-heavens?"

Su Youwei slowly added, "And what exactly were they trying to do by hiding there? Or rather... does the Saint Race have some kind of scheme?"

As soon as she spoke, the air became still.

Wu Yao and Zhao Mu Shen's expressions turned solemn. If the Saint Race had a scheme, it was certainly aimed at all-heavens, and no one would be spared when the nest fell; they too would be unable to escape disaster.

Both Wu Yao and Su Youwei's gazes turned to Zhou Yuan.

Seeing this, Zhao Mu Shen felt a slight pang of displeasure. In the past, when the three of them teamed up, Wu Yao and Su Youwei were always very opinionated and never fully listened to him. Yet now, with Zhou Yuan, they seemed to be deferring to him, which clearly implied they thought Zhao Mu Shen was inferior to Zhou Yuan.

Despite his displeasure, even someone as proud as him had to admit that the current Zhou Yuan was indeed more reliable than he was.

At the very least, he wouldn't have been able to escape successfully with several burdens under the watchful eyes of four Saint Race Law Domain experts.

Zhou Yuan, however, paid no mind to Zhao Mu Shen's internal drama. His eyes flickered slightly, and he murmured, "What exactly they want to do, I think we'll know soon..."

Su Youwei, Wu Yao, and Zhao Mu Shen were all startled, looking at Zhou Yuan with a hint of bewilderment.

But Zhou Yuan offered no further explanation. Instead, he narrowed his eyes, and a spiritual light flickered between his brows.

Earlier, when the four Law Domain Treasures tore through the air, scattering some of his spirit, the four Saint Race Law Domain experts hadn't noticed. It was at that very instant that Zhou Yuan attached a tiny wisp of his spirit to one of the Law Domain Treasures.

It was fortunate that the four Saint Race Law Domain experts were only formidable in Genesis Qi cultivation, while their spiritual attainment was far inferior to Zhou Yuan's. Otherwise, they would have detected his hidden maneuver.

And now, that wisp of his spirit was following the four Saint Race Law Domain experts, traversing through the chaos...

After a moment, the four Saint Race Law Domain experts finally stopped.

They stood in a void shrouded in mist. The four of them simultaneously formed hand seals. The next moment, the chaotic void slowly split open, and the four stepped inside.

And just as they stepped into that chaotic void, Zhou Yuan, through that wisp of spirit, glimpsed the scene within.

At that moment, even with Zhou Yuan's composure, he couldn't help but widen his eyes abruptly.
