Chapter 1243: Someone Has Come Out
"Well, that's true..."
Shen Lang's words left Sun Wukong momentarily stunned, who then nodded thoughtfully.
Indeed, when they encountered the Snow Beast before, their cultivation was far inferior to what it is now, making the battle quite difficult.
But now it's different; they have all reached the late stage of the Heavenly Divine Realm, and even if they face a master of the late stage of the Golden Divine Realm, they wouldn't have the slightest tension of growling.
If they meet the Cloud Beast guarding the Heaven Breaking Domain again, the outcome will have to be reevaluated.
"The Cloud Beast is gone."
Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor was the first to step onto the starting platform of the Heaven Breaking Domain.
He didn't see the massive Cloud Beast, and even deliberately made some noise, yet no Cloud Beast emerged to confront him.
"Shen Lang, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed; that gorilla Cloud Beast is already gone."
Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor turned his head and said to Shen Lang.
"Really gone?"
Shen Lang quickly released his Divine Sense to probe, a disappointed expression appearing on his face.
Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor was right; not to mention the gorilla Cloud Beast, even the regular Cloud Beasts had vanished without a trace, as if they had disappeared completely.
Anyone unaware might think such a creature as the Cloud Beast had never appeared in the Heaven Breaking Domain.
"Perhaps it's because the Desolate Divine Realm is about to close. In any case, this is a good thing, so we don't waste time,"
Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor speculated. "Alright, let's leave as quickly as possible!"
With that said, he leapt down from the platform. Since they had come up from below, they naturally had to descend first and then take a turn.
Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor remembered very clearly that the Heaven Breaking Domain was a spherical space.
Along the way, they indeed did not encounter any Cloud Beasts, whether it was because the Desolate Divine Realm was about to close, or because Sun Wukong and the others' cultivation strength had increased, perceiving those Cloud Beasts?
After passing through the Heaven Breaking Domain and the Dark Canyon, Sun Wukong and the others found Gongsun Yu and the others at the edge of the Death Plains.
"Wukong, Shen Lang, Hong Jun, you finally returned!"
Gongsun Yu's face was full of joy. With less than half a month until the Desolate Divine Realm closed, if the three of them didn't return, he would almost be unable to hold on.
He certainly couldn't risk the lives of so many people, could he?
Of course, the most thrilled were not Gongsun Yu, but the masters of the Heavenly Bird Dynasty.
With Shen Lang back, they didn't have to keep waiting here, and their lives could finally be preserved!
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Gongsun Brother! It's getting late; let's head back to the Desolate Beast Mountain Range now!"
The whole Desolate Divine Realm, so far, only had the Desolate Beast Mountain Range as a place where the Interstellar Spaceship could take off and land.
Gongsun Yu and the others didn't waste any words. In fact, they had been unable to wait any longer!
Everyone made their way across the Death Plains back to the Desolate Beast Mountain Range.
The marks left by the various forces in the Desolate Beast Mountain Range had long disappeared.
Everything had already returned to the appearance it had when they first arrived in the Desolate Divine Realm.
Gongsun Yu took out the Interstellar Spaceship from the storage Magical Treasure, and everyone boarded the ship, including the experts of the Heavenly Bird Dynasty.
They were now under Shen Lang, so of course, they had to follow him.
After returning to the Han Hai Realm, Shen Lang would certainly have tasks assigned to them.
Outside the fog shrouding the Desolate Divine Realm, the ships of various great powers guarded the passage entrance.
This trip to the Desolate Divine Realm was initially just an operation for the masters of various forces aiming for higher levels, but this trip's news spread throughout the Han Hai Realm because no one had made it out.
All at once, every major force in the Han Hai Realm wanted to confirm whether the rumor was true.
They also wanted to see if anyone could indeed come out of the Desolate Divine Realm, which force's master it would be.
Seeing that this was already the last day!
"No one came out! Not a single one! It looks like this trip to the Desolate Divine Realm really was a total loss!"
"So many Earth Divine Realm experts, not a single one returned! It's terrifying! The Desolate Divine Realm is truly terrifying!"
"Fortunately, I didn't decide to go in back then; otherwise, I might have been trapped inside too. It's chilling to think about it!"
…
Similar discussions echoed inside each Interstellar Spaceship.
Everyone believed that the experts who entered the Desolate Divine Realm this time had perished entirely.
Rumble!
The Nine Great Dead Stars began to tremble slightly, and there was a change in the fog enveloping the Desolate Divine Realm.
The time to close the Desolate Divine Realm had arrived, and the passage within the fog was shrinking little by little as it converged towards the center.
Just as the major forces believed the matter was settled, an Interstellar Spaceship suddenly burst through the last bit of mist, flying out from the passage that was about to close.
It was the Holy Book Academy's Interstellar Spaceship!
The emblem on the ship clearly informed the scouts of the various forces that the ship that broke free from the Desolate Divine Realm's mist passage belonged to the Holy Book Academy!
The experts from the Holy Book Academy safely emerged from the Desolate Divine Realm!
The mist passage completely vanished, leaving only the Holy Book Academy's spaceship as the one that emerged.
In other words, besides the Holy Book Academy's experts, all the other major powers' experts had perished in the Desolate Divine Realm!
"Unbelievable! The biggest winner of this Desolate Divine Realm trip turned out to be the Holy Book Academy!"
"We must quickly report back; surely, the Holy Book Academy's strength will increase drastically!"
"Only the Holy Book Academy's experts safely came out, out of so many forces!"
…
Exclamations arose; past trips to the Desolate Divine Realm had all been about the major forces vying for supremacy since the realm was not taken seriously, mostly sending Outer Sect disciples.
But this time, it was a shock as only the people from the Holy Book Academy made it out alive!
It's easy to imagine that these individuals must have obtained considerable benefits within the Desolate Divine Realm, and their future potential is limitless!
This would further elevate the Holy Book Academy's status in the Han Hai Realm!
After the Holy Book Academy's Interstellar Spaceship emerged from the mist passage, it didn't linger in the area of the Nine Great Dead Stars but immediately revved up its engines and departed.
From the moment it burst out to when it left, there was no communication with the other forces' Interstellar Ships, not even a hint of such an intention.
However, the scouts of the major forces weren't surprised.
The Holy Book Academy had always been proud, and such behavior was not unusual.
What piqued their curiosity was how many experts were aboard that Holy Book Academy's Interstellar Spaceship?
Did all the Earth Divine Realm experts who went into the Desolate Divine Realm from the Holy Book Academy make it out?
With all these questions, the scouts promptly relayed the intelligence back to their respective forces at the fastest speed possible.
