Chapter 698: Chapter 698: The Great Escape Chapter 698: Chapter 698: The Great Escape “Still not coming out?” In the sky above the Scarlet Plains, the Celestial God stood alone, overlooking below.
As she spoke, her aura completely transformed, like a towering mountain pressing down on the hearts of the people.
“Senior, it’s not our affair!” Some people, in fear, begged her not to start a massacre.
“Moo…”
In the mid-air, a deep bellow from a fat cow echoed, followed by black gas surging.
The sonic waves were like thunder shaking the world, resounding across the plains.
The black bull’s head on the left shoulder of the Celestial God opened its eyes and roared, terrifyingly formidable, spreading black ripples that shook the void!
“Ah…”
Many people screamed.
On the plains below, there were thousands of individuals, but at this moment, numerous figures exploded under the bellow of the fat cow, disintegrating into pieces with clouds of blood mist rising.
This scene was terrifying.
The black ripples spread, the sonic waves shook the heavens, and in an instant, over three thousand people were torn apart, meeting their unfortunate demise.
Some survivors were still alive, but bleeding from all seven orifices, all desperately resisting.
Many among them were Deities, but still, it was futile.

This was like hell on earth.
Even creatures who had ignited divine flames were insignificant; their external divine flames dimmed and eventually extinguished, then their bodies and souls shattered.
Shi Hao was about to wear a tattered armor, display the Ground Shrinking Technique, and release the Tianhe Curse from the Pill Furnace, only to notice that glowing characters were rising around him.
Several powerhouses held treasures, protecting this area, and Yun Xi even pulled him into the center of the guarded area by the characters.
“Xi’er, why did you pull him in?” An elder frowned, worrying about complications from bringing an outsider in.
“He once saved me,” Yun Xi explained, positioning Shi Hao in the glow of the characters, telling him not to step outside the range protected by the treasures.
The several strong individuals remained silent.
To them, that hardly counted as a rescue.
They did not want to dwell on this issue but looked solemnly towards the sky.
“Hehe…
There really is an escapee on this road.
It seems I was right to come here!” The Celestial God in the void spoke, her tone carrying both a deadly chill and seriousness.
Initially, she wasn’t sure, but now she had confirmation!
“Senior, by slaughtering innocents and slaughtering creatures indiscriminately, aren’t you afraid of consequences from heaven?” An elder of the Celestials Clan spoke up.
“If you had stepped forward earlier, wouldn’t these problems be avoided?” The three-headed Celestial God replied coldly, acting as she pleased, not caring about consequences at her level.
She stared at Yun Xi, smiling faintly with ruthless coldness, and said, “The Heavenly Destiny Stone has merged with you, but it should still be extractable.”
Everyone present paled; this Celestial God was merciless, intent on seizing fortune and destroying one’s foundation.
The Celestials Clan could not tolerate this.
Transitioning from human to a Celestial was extremely difficult, and a potential candidate for such a transition might emerge today; they couldn’t allow an outsider to kill them.
“This time, your Celestials Clan has gained quite a bit.
In ancient times, six Heavenly Destiny Stones evolved six people to the peak of life.
This era has yielded four stones, equally astounding.
But the outcome will be completely different this time; I will not allow you time to grow, and a Celestial of the imperial family will not arise!”
“Senior, by slaughtering like this, bullying the weak, aren’t you afraid of retaliation?
One of our Archaic Ancestors from the Primordial Era is still alive!” shouted an elder.
“Are you threatening me?
Are you saying one of the Six Great Celestials who evolved to the ultimate level in the Primordial Era is still extant?
Don’t scare anyone now, haha…” the woman laughed loudly, then her gaze turned cold, adding, “I’ve received news, he can no longer appear, unable to intimidate the world.”
“Our Archaic Ancestor will revive!” an old woman shouted loudly.
Shi Hao was shocked upon hearing this, realizing that among the Six Great Celestials who founded the myth of the imperial family, one was still alive in the present age, although seemingly encountering problems.
“The Heavenly Destiny Stone only merges with young bodies.
If we don’t eliminate these four young talents soon, they will become four peerless Celestials.
This situation must not be allowed!” the female Celestial God stated icily, “The other three groups might be tough to deal with, but your group is fated to be easily eradicated.”
With that, she raised her palm and slowly pressed it downward.
Her luminescent jade手 radiated diffused glows, shaking the entire earth, causing chaos as stones tore through the sky.
“Ah…” The remaining few hundred people, their divine flames extinguished, bodies shattered inch by inch, met with unfortunate deaths.
This sight was extremely terrifying; she was utterly calm, merely pressing her palm lightly downward, which caused a terrifying spectacle of the land sinking.
And with just one hand, she annihilated a group of divine beings!
In the Celestials Clan, the sounds of treasures cracking were heard, the few powerful individuals clearly unable to hold on.
They were not a match, not being Celestial Gods.
“Great Uncle Master, where are you?
Please manifest your divine presence promptly!” Several old Celestials shouted.
“Boom!”
From afar, a petite figure rushed over, shorter than the average person, but wielding a millstone-sized Bronze Hammer, swinging it in the air, smashing towards the Celestial God in the void.
“Your lifespan is about to end, yet you dare fight with me.
You will be hounded to death eventually,” said the female Celestial God with three heads coldly.
Her right shoulder’s elephant head roared, and her silver trunk whipped down like a Heavenly Blade, clashing with the Bronze Hammer with a resounding clang.
“Die!” The strong individual from the Celestials Clan roared, despite being thin and withered, his Divine Power was supreme, he was indeed a Celestial God, spinning the Bronze Hammer, tearing the void, thunderously dominant.
At that moment, nearby mountains, light as straw under the fluctuating divine power, soared high into the sky.
“Kill!”
The three-headed Celestial God counterattacked, stretching out her white arms, her whole body erupted in Sacred Light, Suppression Killing the Celestial God of the Celestials Clan.

“You all go!” An elder of the Celestials Clan holding a Divine Hammer spoke, blocking the female Celestial God.
“It’s useless, unless your other three routes of troops successfully break out in part, otherwise all four routes might be completely annihilated, at least your group is finished.” The female Celestial God said coldly.
“Indeed, the Celestials of this route can be killed.” A ruthless voice came through, the silver-robed Celestial God reappeared, holding a shiny Silver War Spear.
Centered around him, silver light spread out, the aura terrifying, divine might shocking the world.
“Even in decline, my Celestials Clan is still an immortal dao lineage, not just anyone can covet it.” It was at this moment, a figure with purple hair, a middle-aged man, appeared in the distant sky.
“Interesting, this group has two Celestial Gods, but it’s still no good, you all are still going to die!” the silver-robed Celestial God roared, charging forward.
“Boom!”
The heavens were pierced, he, single-armed holding the silver War Spear, charged towards the purple-haired Celestial God.
An earth-shattering battle erupted, two groups of Celestial Gods, fighting life and death, all clashing with might.
“Go quickly!” the two great Celestial Gods of the Celestials Clan commanded, because they sensed an ominous threat; in the distance, demonic figures loomed, a large group of powerful beings having surrounded them.
These beings couldn’t intervene in the divine level battle, but were enough to intercept those below the Celestial Gods, with strong capabilities.
“Hum!”
The Celestials Clan elder holding the Divine Hammer, while battling a woman with three heads, struck out with a palm, causing a swath of demonic figures to perish.
With a grand sweep of his hand, he sent Yun Xi and others out, throwing them into the distant sky.
This was a grand escape!
Shi Hao was speechless, being involuntarily wrapped up in this, unable to leave alone, as he heard secrets he shouldn’t have.
The guardians protecting Yun Xi frowned, clearly with a drive to eliminate threats, but they were stopped by Yun Xi.
“Go quickly, we must survive and return!” An elder of the Celestials Clan glanced back at the battle, his face filled with anxiety, not knowing whether the two great Celestial Gods of his clan could possibly win.
They must send Yun Xi, who merged with the Heavenly Destiny Stone, back, otherwise all efforts would be wasted.
“Not knowing how the other three routes of troops are doing?” They were also anxious about the other three prodigies who had merged with the Heavenly Destiny Stone, their life or death uncertain.
“Boom!”
Behind them, heaven and earth trembled together, brilliance filled the skies, the four great Celestial Gods unleashed True Fire, someone burning their own body, attempting self-destruction.
“Whether my Celestials Clan can rise brilliantly once more, becoming the imperial family in the higher realms, success or failure depends on this stroke.
If all four young people can survive and return, who else should we fear in the future!” an escaping Celestials Clan elder roared deeply.
“Elder, please rest assured, our clan will definitely relive its former glory.” Yun Xi said.
Sadly, reality was cruel.
Soon after, a roar came from behind, a Celestial God of the Celestials Clan self-destructed, blood staining the sky, ending and closing in a tragic manner.
The battle of the Celestial Gods ended, one self-destructing, enough to affect both the enemies and own Celestial Gods nearby, inflicting heavy damage on the surrounding powerful beings.
“The surviving Celestial Gods are severely injured, all seeking places to heal, they won’t be chasing us down for a while, they also fear being killed.” An elder next to Yun Xi said.
“Puff!”
Blood splashed as an elder of the Celestials Clan’s right arm bled, nearly being severed.
Looking up, a group of ferocious birds appeared in the sky, differing species, but all extremely powerful.
“Run!”
This was a great chase, Shi Hao cursed his bad luck, initially having nothing to do with this, but ending up being swept into fleeing, somewhat reluctantly.
“Elder, let him go, just drop him somewhere, don’t let him follow us anymore.” Yun Xi said, because having Shi Hao with them now was akin to harming him.
Two days later, several guardians successively perished, falling one by one in the process of being pursued, all dying in battle.
Yun Xi was also injured, half of her body covered in blood, barely missing a fatal cut from a light blade spat by one of the ferocious birds.
Yet Shi Hao, originally dragged along, remained unscathed, regaining his freedom.
Shi Hao sighed, truly unlucky to the extreme, inexplicably drawn into such a turmoil, obviously he could not watch Yun Xi be killed.
“Do you know about the Scarlet Plains?” he asked softly, carrying Yun Xi, moving as fast as lightning, using the Ground Shrinking Technique.
“If there really is no other way, we can only break into those dark, ghost-infested Scarlet Battlefields.” Yun Xi spoke softly, very saddened, as the powerful beings protecting her had all died.
She didn’t know if the other three prodigies of her clan had escaped, the Heavenly Destiny Stone was too important, yet it also caused such a great disaster.
Days later, they continued to suffer through life-threatening escapes, fearing that the pursuers behind, especially if Celestial Gods appeared, would find them inevitably fatal.
Finally, with no other options, Shi Hao chose to enter a dead end, carrying Yun Xi, dashing into the rolling dark mist, isolating their presence from the outer world.
