Chapter 2775: Closing the Gap
Before these power auras completely vanished, Su Yang and his group found six more Guardian Gods and killed them all. Adding the one they killed earlier, seven Guardian Gods have been caught and slain!
In total, twenty-two Guardian Gods entered; initially, three died. Later, Su Yang and the others killed seven, which means ten Guardian Gods have already been slain.
Thus, there are twelve Guardian Gods remaining.
This situation left Su Yang a bit worried.
Without the power aura, finding these twelve Guardian Gods is basically impossible.
However, the Heavenly Sect has some backup plans; they can locate other Guardian Gods within this Chaos and gather them together.
Which means, next, Su Yang and his group will likely face twelve Guardian Gods appearing together.
These twelve Guardian Gods are all quite strong. Although Su Yang’s combat power is formidable, they are only five people facing twelve; they certainly aren’t a match.
"We can’t just wait here to be killed!" Su Yang said solemnly, "The range of Chaos is vast, and it’s going to take the Heavenly Sect a long time to gather all twelve Guardian Gods. We must use this time to try and locate more Guardian Gods and eliminate them to weaken their side!"
The other four nodded. Supreme Dragon Emperor said, "Su Alliance Leader, you’re absolutely right. But trying to find other Guardian Gods in this Chaos is like finding a needle in a haystack!"
"Searching for them definitely isn’t easy. But it’s better than just sitting here waiting!" Su Yang said in a deep voice, "Go out and look around; it’s worth a shot. If we can find them, it’s our luck; if not, we’ll just have to fight it out in the end!"
The four said no more; there was indeed no other way now but to do it this way.
Of course, even when attempting to find those Guardian Gods, Su Yang’s group stayed together without dividing. Because they knew that once they split up, it would be hard to find each other again in this Chaos.
Moreover, if they split up and ran into a few Guardian Gods, wouldn’t that be dangerous? Hence, walking together is the safest option. Although the chance of finding a Guardian God decreased a bit, it’s far better than dealing with the risks after splitting up!
Su Yang led the four into a Chaos Gap; the power aura inside had already disappeared, and Su Yang had no idea where the Guardian God who entered earlier might have gone, so he had no clue where to exit.
Finally, Su Yang randomly picked a region to exit and began searching in this area.
Whether they can find anything now depends purely on luck; there’s no other way.
Su Yang and his group wandered aimlessly in the Chaos for about three years without any discovery.
This time also made Su Yang and his group even more anxious. The longer they search, the more Guardian Gods the Heavenly Sect can locate. Once the Heavenly Sect gathers all the Guardian Gods, they’ll come to hunt down Su Yang and his group.
In other words, the longer the time spent, the more dangerous it becomes.
Approaching the fourth year, Su Yang’s group finally made a discovery. In the midst of Chaos, they found a Guardian God lost there.
This Guardian God seemed to have been moving in this region for too long, not meeting other Guardian Gods and unable to leave Chaos; he was somewhat falling apart. When Su Yang found him, he didn’t even move, resignedly waiting in the Chaos.
Judging by his demeanor, he seemed to be waiting for the battle to end so he could directly leave Chaos. As for finding other Guardian Gods, he had completely given up.
When Su Yang and his group appeared before him, the Guardian God was almost in complete distress. He couldn’t believe that after waiting for so long, what he got was Su Yang’s group instead of other Guardian Gods. This made him question what he had been waiting for all this time. Was it for death?
Finally finding a Guardian God, Su Yang’s group wasted no time; surrounding him, they directly killed this Guardian God.
Now, there are only eleven Guardian Gods left.
Finding someone finally lifted Su Yang and his group’s spirits, giving them a glimpse of hope.
Afterwards, Su Yang’s group resumed their search. This time, everyone’s moods were significantly more uplifted.
After more than five years, they found another lone Guardian God.
After slaying this Guardian God, there were ten Guardian Gods remaining.
At this point, Su Yang’s group finally heaved a sigh of relief.
With only ten Guardian Gods left, the pressure is slightly reduced.
Of course, to narrow the gap further, Su Yang’s group didn’t stop; they continued searching.
But this time, they weren’t as lucky. After nearly a year of searching without finding anything, the Heavenly Sect arrived with the remaining Guardian Gods.
Su Yang was the first to sense the Heavenly Sect approaching, and he acted decisively, leading the four to escape quickly.
Although there were only ten Guardian Gods left, if it came to a real fight, Su Yang’s group of five still wouldn’t be a match for the ten Guardian Gods. Therefore, it was impossible to battle them head-on.
The Heavenly Sect bore the Heavenly Dao Jade Pendant, which senses the aura of Su Yang’s group. Detecting Su Yang’s group moving quickly, the Heavenly Sect realized they were escaping and pursued with the remaining Guardian Gods at full speed.
Both parties chased in the Chaos for more than five years. Their strengths were comparable, making it difficult for the Heavenly Sect to catch up with Su Yang’s group.
But this batch of Guardian Gods had no other choice. Ye Wantong ate the Chaos Flower and is now fully digesting it. They must quickly intercept Su Yang and steal the Chaos Flower. Otherwise, once Ye Wantong digests the Chaos Flower, they will be defeated.
Defeat is not terrifying; the key issue is that Ye Wantong ate the Chaos Flower and may advance to the rank of the Strongest. If so, besides Su Yang, the Human Clan will have another powerful Strongest, which is the outcome the Guardian Gods least want to see.
So despite not catching up, they couldn’t abandon the pursuit and could only chase relentlessly.
