"Run!"

Upon seeing Long Chan's onslaught, Ye Chen immediately felt apprehensive and, along with Qin Yan and Feng Wu, made an escape.

Long Chan's combat prowess was almost on par with Supreme Master Tian Yu, so Ye Chen naturally lacked confidence in defeating Long Chan.

"Escaping?"

When Long Chan saw Ye Chen fleeing, she gave up on ambushing him.

Despite Ye Chen's admirable combat skills, for Long Chan to kill him would require significant effort; she might as well kill several other prodigies with the energy it would take to kill Ye Chen.

First, to wipe out the small fries in one sweep, then to hunt down the big fish one by one!

"Roar!"

The Azure Dragon roared, the prodigies' blood spilled.

A young supreme being approached by Long Chan, who used the treasure of the sect, detonated Other Shore symbols, and exhausted all means only to meet with an inescapable crushing suppression, ultimately wiped out by a palm strike from Long Chan.

"Myriad Dragons Great Immortal Skill."

"Soaring Dragon Great Immortal Skill!"

"Azure Dragon Great Immortal Skill!"

Long Chan executed the three Immortal Techniques flawlessly, the Soaring Dragon Skill allowed her speed to reach its utmost peak, and both the Myriad Dragons and Azure Dragon Skills made her invincible, causing chaos among the eighty-one young supremes.

However, among the eighty-one prodigies, there were strong individuals such as Jin Pengzi, Saintess Heavenly Fire, and the Twin Kings who survived Long Chan's onslaught and escaped the battlefield.

"The Western Sea Saint Heir is dead!"

Having fled to a distant place, Feng Wu glanced back subconsciously and was shocked by what she saw.

A heroic man spilled blood, his body pierced through by a palm strike from Long Chan, cutting off all chances of life. This man was the Western Sea Saint Heir, whose combat prowess was far superior to even Feng Wu's. Yet, the powerful Western Sea Saint Heir was mercilessly slaughtered, deeply shocking Feng Wu.

In fact, not only the Western Sea Saint Heir fell, but also the Ten Thousand Li Saint Heir, the Fire Xi Saint Heir, the Bright Face Saint… these prodigious young supremes, splendid in their own right, ultimately met their deaths in this place, creating an unreal sensation for Feng Wu.

"This female from the Dragon Clan is too brutal, in mere moments, she slaughtered dozens of young supremes!" Qin Yan looked at the blood-stained battlefield, her hands trembling unnaturally, and deep fear embedded in her eyes.

The young supremes represented the glory of a continent, and such super geniuses rarely fall. Every death is a massive loss.

Even a daredevil like Ye Chen didn't dare to slaughter the young supremes, fearing reprisal from the Saints behind them.

However, Long Chan, fearless, engaged in a ruthless massacre that left bones scattered and blood flying, presenting a truly chilling scene.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a savage roar shook the heavens and the earth, and the ground began to tremble greatly as a towering figure appeared in the distance.

This figure was immensely huge, towering like a mountain, coming from afar, shattering mountain ranges as it charged toward Long Chan.

"The Sky-Howling Beast?" Long Chan exclaimed.

The Sky-Howling Beast belonged to an ancient species, incredibly powerful, with only a few to be found throughout Canglan.

The Sky-Howling Beast from the Ten Thousand Dragons Hall was a guardian beast raised by the Dragon Clan!

However, thousands of years ago it was just a small creature, yet now it had grown as large as a mountain, its presence godlike and demonic, which greatly surprised Long Chan.

"Little beast, come here!" Long Chan called out to the Sky-Howling Beast.

The Sky-Howling Beast was raised by the Dragon Clan, and as a princess of the Dragon Clan, Long Chan naturally had the ability to summon it.

"Roar!"

The Sky-Howling Beast rushed over, collapsing countless mountains. With wings on its back and its fangs like swords, it struck fear into those who saw it.

"The Sky-Howling Beast!"

Some prodigies were soul-shaken upon seeing the Sky-Howling Beast.

This Sky-Howling Beast was terrifyingly powerful, surely an adult with the strength to sweep across all challengers, and even capable of a fierce battle with a Saint.

Moreover, the appearance of the Sky-Howling Beast at the Dragon Clan's temple clearly indicated some connection with the Dragon Clan!

Just one Long Chan had already intimidated the young supremes to flee, and now with such a fearsome Sky-Howling Beast, it seemed none of the young supremes inside the temple could escape!

However, just as despair settled in the hearts of the prodigies, something unexpected happened.

"Roar!"

The Sky-Howling Beast suddenly spread its wings, charging at extreme speed towards Long Chan with its gaping maw, unexpectedly attempting to swallow her whole.

"You beast, you dare to bite your master!" Long Chan's face turned pale.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

The Sky-Howling Beast, ignoring all consequences, was intent on devouring flesh and had set its sights on Long Chan, its former master.

"Myriad Dragons Great Immortal Skill!"

The Sky-Howling Beast was terrifyingly powerful, and Long Chan dared not slack off at all, immediately unleashing her strongest Immortal Technique to fend off the Sky-Howling Beast's devouring.

"Boom—"

The booming shook the heavens, the earth trembled incessantly, and the Sky-Howling Beast madly lunged to devour Long Chan.

"Damn it," Long Chan cursed softly. "The glory of the Dragon Clan has faded, oppressed not only by outsiders, but even the domesticated beasts dare to bite their master!"

The Dragon Clan had perished thousands of years ago, and the Sky-Howling Beast had lived in the Ten Thousand Dragons Hall ever since. With nobody to control it for thousands of years, the Sky-Howling Beast had gradually become powerful and invincible, long reverting to its savage nature and forgetting its original master.

However, terrifying as the Sky-Howling Beast's power was, its intelligence was like that of a child. Its attack on Long Chan was driven by a desire to devour her bloodline!

This Sky-Howling Beast was at the ultimate peak, a step away from the realm of a Saint, but to take that final step, it needed to undergo a major Nirvana!

The Sky-Howling Beast needed the bloodline of the Dragon Clan to awaken deeper powers!

"Azure Dragon Great Immortal Technique!"

Long Chan transformed into her true form, a thousand-zhang giant dragon, and fiercely battled the Sky-Howling Beast.

"Roar!"

The Sky-Howling Beast shattered a range of mountains and roared up to the sky, its massive wings stirring wildly, disrupting the heavens and earth and forcing the Azure Dragon in the sky into continual retreat.

The power of the Sky-Howling Beast was terrifying, equivalent to the concentration of the Other Shore Palace. Long Chan, only newly entered into the Other Shore, could not match the Sky-Howling Beast no matter her prowess.

"Damn it, if it weren't for the suppression by Zhu Sheng Town, with the spirit of the Myriad Dragons heavily depleted, how would I tolerate your insolence, you beast!"

Long Chan couldn't merge with the spirit of the Myriad Dragons because the recent campaign by the Saints had severely drained it. Forcing a merge would only lead to the dispersal of myriad souls.

Throughout the fights, Long Chan was at an absolute disadvantage, narrowly evading being torn to shreds by the Sky-Howling Beast several times.

In the end, Long Chan could only flee in embarrassment. Fighting the Saints had nearly exhausted her, and with the Sky-Howling Beast as ferocious as ever, continuing the fight might very likely lead to her being devoured!

However, wanting to escape from there, the Sky-Howling Beast relentlessly pursued her, intent on devouring the Dragon Clan's bloodline.

In the end, one chased and one fled, leaving the area far behind and disappearing into the vast, barren wilderness.

"Is it over just like that?" Feng Wu said blankly.

Long Chan descended from the sky, unleashing a bloodbath and slaughtering a group of young supremes, unstoppable. Yet, when the proud ones fled in panic, the Sky-Howling Beast colliding into them...

It seemed like a great crisis was to unfold, but the situation reversed, and the Sky-Howling Beast actually bit its master and drove Long Chan to retreat!

Being pursued by the Sky-Howling Beast, for the moment Long Chan couldn't afford to concern herself with Ye Chen and others, thus a life-and-death crisis was averted.

"The Dragon Clan woman isn't coming to kill us, but she can control the palace. We're trapped here... What should we do?" Ye Chen looked at Feng Wu and Qin Yan, asking.

Although the crisis was temporarily lifted, they were still in a perilous situation and Long Chan could return at any time.

"The presence of the Dragon Clan woman must have alarmed the Saint," Qin Yan said. "There are many young supremes inside the palace; the Saint will surely find a way to save us!"

Long Chan could obviously control the palace, preventing them from leaving. Only the Saint could break this predicament!

"If that's the case, let's find a place to hide until the Saint comes to save us," Ye Chen said.

"…"

As soon as Ye Chen's words were out, Feng Wu and Qin Yan both looked at him with scorn.

"That madwoman is indiscriminately killing. If we're exposed outside, she'll definitely kill us!" Ye Chen explained, obviously valuing his life dearly.

"This palace is immense, and our current location is just one corner. If we stay away from this place and spread out, the Dragon Clan woman won't easily find us!" Feng Wu said. "Moreover, the palace is filled with treasures. Coming here and not searching for treasures would simply be a waste of this extraordinary opportunity!"

"Where in these barren mountains and wild ridges are we supposed to find treasures?" Ye Chen glanced around at the barren mountains and scoffed.

The Dragon Clan palace seemed like a realm of its own, with nothing but barren hills and bushes in sight — where could there be any hint of treasures?

Right now, Ye Chen didn't want to search for treasures; he wanted to find a secluded corner to hide in, focus on cultivating, and develop the third form of Heavenly Emperor Fist!

As long as he grasped one more pathway of greatest strength, Ye Chen wouldn't need to fear Long Chan anymore!

"There are definitely big rewards if we patiently search around this part of the palace!" Qin Yan said. "Master has great expectation for us; we must try our best to bring Dragon Clan treasures back for Baihua Palace!"

"The mad Dragon Clan woman could come kill us at any moment, we'd better find a place to hide."

Ye Chen had a strange feeling that the Dragon Clan woman was targeting him specifically. He wanted to find a secluded nook to hide in, to keep her from finding him, until his Divine Skills were fully developed, then he could come out and flaunt them!

"Coward!" Feng Wu sneered. "It's unbelievable that someone like you could grasp the strongest Tao. Heaven must be blind!"

"…"

"Feng Wu, let's go explore this palace!" Qin Yan, without a glance at Ye Chen, called out to Feng Wu to explore the palace.

Having been in Baihua Palace for a long time, Qin Yan and Feng Wu felt a strong sense of belonging and were willing to fight for the glory of their sect.

"Hey, wait for me, I'll protect you!" Ye Chen hurried after the two.

Qin Yan was aware of his relationship with Leng Aofu, and throughout the journey, she was lukewarm towards him. Feng Wu also seemed to have perceived something, discovering his identity as the Heavenly Emperor... Both of them were dangerous, holding Ye Chen's life in their hands.

To eliminate the risk, Ye Chen needed to find a way to win over the two women, and now was the perfect opportunity!
