The birth of Lingzhi signified that the Life and Death Immortal Vine was about to mature.
"Seal!"
One of the Primordial Remnants hastily unleashed a divine ability to seal the mountain body of the abyss.
If the mountain body were not sealed, the Life and Death Immortal Vine would burrow into the rocks the moment it matured.
Rocks in the main realm were not easily conducive to earth遁 (earth遁 is a term for earth escape or burrowing).
To perform earth遁, one either needed innate divine abilities or mastery of the Houtu法则 (Houtu法则 refers to the laws or principles related to the earth deity Houtu).
As the Life and Death Immortal Vine grew within rocks, it could easily perform earth遁.
Once it escaped into the rocks, most of the Primordial Remnants present would be unable to track it.
With the mountain body sealed by the Primordial Remnants, the Life and Death Immortal Vine lost its best escape route.
Not only was the mountain body sealed, but in the next moment, Primordial Remnants established a barrier around the area.
While the defensive power of this barrier was not terrifying, it was more than enough to contain the just-matured Life and Death Immortal Vine.
As the Life and Death Immortal Vine was about to detach from its main body, the Primordial Remnants present were ready to fight for it.
Low growls continued, and a great battle was brewing.
The Iron Blood Treant was unaware that Qin Hanchu had arrived. It was only then that it transmitted a message to Qin Hanchu.
Its intention was simple: if Qin Hanchu arrived any later, the Life and Death Immortal Vine would be beyond his reach.
By delaying the transmission, it wouldn't be violating the oath.
With a crack, the Life and Death Immortal Vine finally detached.
At that very instant, a group of Primordial Remnants attacked simultaneously.
Qin Hanchu, being the closest, instantly appeared beside the Life and Death Immortal Vine.
Before the Life and Death Immortal Vine could even float away, Qin Hanchu grabbed it.
Under Qin Hanchu's power, the Life and Death Immortal Vine had no ability to resist.
Boom!
Qin Hanchu waved his hand, and terrifying sword qi directly tore through the barrier set by the Primordial Remnants.
By the time the Primordial Remnants reacted, Qin Hanchu had already broken through the barrier and flown away!
"Human, you seek death!"
The Primordial Remnants, who were about to engage in battle, quickly abandoned their internal conflict and angrily pursued Qin Hanchu.
Qin Hanchu scanned behind him with his spiritual sense. He saw nearly a hundred Immortal Saint-level Primordial Remnants furiously pursuing him.
If he were intercepted, he would be in grave danger.
"Drop the immortal treasure, or die!"
A Golden-winged Battle Hawk flapped its wings, its speed increasing several times over.
Qin Hanchu waved his hand, sending over a dozen Life and Death Sword Qi towards the Golden-winged Battle Hawk behind him.
The Golden-winged Battle Hawk fanned its wings, unleashing a terrifying gale forward.
The forces collided, canceled each other out, and then dispersed as a gale.
Although Qin Hanchu's flight speed was very fast, he was at a disadvantage against those Celestial Beasts with innate abilities.
Many other Celestial Beasts chose to take detours to intercept him.
Qin Hanchu had to quickly escape the pursuit.
A streak of light flashed and vanished, and Qin Hanchu finally broke out of the abyss.
Immediately following him were hundreds of streaks of light.
Boom boom!
The Celestial Beasts attacked one after another, unleashing dense spells in pursuit of Qin Hanchu.
Qin Hanchu dodged the surrounding attacks while flying.
More than ten minutes later, over a dozen Celestial Beasts appeared in front of Qin Hanchu.
These were the ones who had taken detours to catch up.
If Qin Hanchu continued forward, he would undoubtedly be trapped.
At this moment, he abruptly dived downwards.
The pursuers in front and behind also followed, rushing towards the ground.
"He's going into the lake?"
"If he dares to enter, he's inviting his own death!"
These Celestial Beasts had already scanned the lake's terrain with their spiritual senses.
They knew that the lake had no underwater currents, and as long as Qin Hanchu couldn't perform earth遁, he would be unable to escape by using the lake.
A moment later, Qin Hanchu arrived at the lake's surface.
Just then, he activated the Purple Heaven Immortal Thunder法则!
The Suanni giant beast formed by the Purple Heaven Immortal Thunder charged towards the Celestial Beasts behind him.
These Celestial Beasts were not weak; any one of them could defeat this Purple Thunder Suanni, let alone facing over a hundred Celestial Beasts.
The moment the Immortal Thunder Suanni charged out, Qin Hanchu entered the lake.
His use of the immortal spell was merely to disrupt the spiritual senses of the Celestial Beasts.
Before the Immortal Thunder Suanni could collide with the spells of the pursuers, it exploded.
The terrifying Purple Heaven Immortal Thunder instantly transformed into a thunderous expanse, covering the lake.
Under the influence of the Purple Heaven Immortal Thunder, the spiritual senses of the Celestial Beasts were affected.
In that split second, they lost their spiritual lock on Qin Hanchu.
Taking advantage of their compromised spiritual senses, Qin Hanchu immediately unleashed the Void法则!
"What's happening? Why can't I lock onto his aura?"
"Force him out!"
All the Celestial Beasts attacked simultaneously.
Hundreds of terrifying divine abilities and spells slammed into the lake one after another.
Although the lake was vast, under the simultaneous attacks of these Celestial Beasts, it was quickly battered and ravaged.
The lower-tier aquatic creatures within were utterly annihilated.
"Gone?"
"How did he disappear?"
"This person is skilled in transformation techniques; he might still be in this lake."
"He must possess an immortal treasure that hides his aura, allowing him to evade our detection with his transformation techniques."
"Bombard it with all your might! As long as we hit his hiding spot, we can force him out!"
Hearing this, the Celestial Beasts attacked again.
Various spells were launched across a wide area into the lake.
At this time, Qin Hanchu had already escaped using the Void法则.
Once the Void法则 was unleashed, it was shadowless and formless; neither spiritual senses nor naked eyes could detect it.
Within the same realm, only those who mastered Supreme法则 could pose a threat to Qin Hanchu.
After more than ten minutes of bombardment, the original lake had been blasted into a deep pit.
Yet, Qin Hanchu's trace was nowhere to be seen.
These Celestial Beasts finally gave up, realizing Qin Hanchu had escaped.
"How exactly did he leave? Could he possess the Houtu法则?"
"This fellow will surely continue searching for the Life and Death Immortal Treasure. Once he reappears, I will grind him into dust!"
"As long as we unite, we can definitely find him!"
"You speak the truth, I must kill him!"
So many Celestial Beasts failing to capture one human made the Celestial Beasts present feel extremely humiliated.
All the Celestial Beasts swore to kill Qin Hanchu.
At this moment, Qin Hanchu was already a thousand miles away!
"The Void法则 is truly a divine skill for killing and plundering. Without it, it would have been very difficult for me to escape."
"I can't stay in the Phoenix's territory anymore. I'll head to the territory of the Nine-headed Golden Lion for now."
"Hopefully, I can subdue the Nine-headed Golden Lion."
With these thoughts, Qin Hanchu followed the route provided by the Iron Blood Treant towards the Nine-headed Golden Lion's territory.
To avoid exposing his whereabouts, Qin Hanchu also transformed into the appearance of a Golden-winged Battle Hawk.
The power of the Thousand Transformations lay in becoming whatever it transformed into.
At this moment, Qin Hanchu no longer had any human aura; he exuded the aura of a Golden-winged Battle Hawk.
Even if he encountered a Celestial Beast, the other party wouldn't detect anything unusual.
Of course, this was assuming they didn't engage in combat.
Qin Hanchu did not possess the innate divine abilities of a Golden-winged Battle Hawk. The moment he made a move, his disguise would be revealed.
