Chapter 713 - Successful Escape

chapter 713 - successful escape

once the blood feud was formed, untangling the conflict wouldn't be easy.

liu wuxie had intentionally orchestrated the incident, informing murong tianze to exert enough force to kill the profound beasts' offspring. this was the only way he could trigger the profound beasts' bloodlust against the divine race.

the onlookers watched in silence, their hearts pounding with fear. they had severely underestimated the divine race's strength, who held their ground against tens of thousands of profound beasts with no sign of defeat.

liu wuxie also watched with his brows locked together, and he wondered if the human race could ever hope to prevail on equal footing with the divine race. the answer was obvious: humans stood no chance against the divine race, and they would be utterly annihilated.

the divinekin's strength lay in their powerful physique and extensive research on the other races. their divine energy was the nemesis of humans, and their physical bodies were unmatched against profound beasts. most importantly, they possessed the ability to regenerate from even the most grievous wounds, such as severed limbs.

facing such a race was nothing short of a nightmare. had it not been for rescuing murong yi's parents, liu wuxie would've never provoked the divine race. but he realized then that he was destined to cross paths with them as long as the ancestral tree existed in his body. he knew the divine race would never allow the ancestral tree to keep growing, which would be a calamity to them.

"a golden opportunity to escape!" liu wuxie leaped off the tree and concealed himself in the horde of profound beasts, moving stealthily. he even released the divine dragon's aura, only to realize the profound beasts instinctively avoided him.

the dragon was the king of beasts, revered as the supreme sovereign. every beast species had to obey a dragon's call.

liu wuxie moved like a comet streaking across the horizon, reaching the valley's entrance in the blink of an eye.

"human!" a powerhouse of the divine race roared, his voice reverberating across the valley. hovering in midair, he unleashed a devastating palm strike toward liu wuxie's direction. he realized everything was orchestrated by the human race, and a human had infiltrated their home for so long undetected. this was nothing short of a humiliation for the divine race.

"this is bad!" liu wuxie's heart sank. the divinekin was too powerful, comparable to the high levels of the true profound realm. if he faced him head-on with his current strength, it would only lead to his death.

he could only accelerate his speed to try and flee from the valley. as long as he could leave the valley, he could survive.

but how could that divinekin allow liu wuxie to escape their home alive? determined to stop him, the divinekin unleashed waves of crushing power toward him, splitting the mountains in his way.

right in the critical moment, murong tianze showed up. he had been waiting outside to receive liu wuxie, and he countered the descending attack with a gigantic palm, forcefully opening a path for liu wuxie to escape.

the world trembled under the clash, and as the shockwave of divine energy swept through, liu wuxie summoned the ancestral tree to absorb it, minimizing the harm murong tianze suffered from the divine energy.

"it's the ancestral tree! you really do possess it!" the divinekin hovered in the air at the realization that liu wuxie's body housed the ultimate nemesis of their race.

the space around them collapsed into multiple swirling black holes. the weaker profound beasts in the surroundings were sent flying before their bodies exploded into fragments in mid-air, painting the sky red.

as the battle between the divine race and profound beasts reached the climax, they realized the divinekin's strength and the continued battle's futility. they swiftly retreated after retrieving the corpses of their fallen offspring. if they continued to fight, it would only lead to heavy casualties on both sides.

after picking up liu wuxie, murong tianze didn't hesitate to flee. as for murong yi and the others from the murong clan, they had already retreated to avoid suffering any unnecessary casualties.

they were thankful for the profound beasts that prevented the divine race from chasing after them. murong tianze didn't hesitate to rip through space and reappear above the murong clan's base.

"uncle, are you alright?" murong yi rushed over at the sight of her uncle.

only a select few from the murong clan’s higher hierarchy were present, ensuring the existence of the sky devouring divine cauldron remained a closely guarded secret.

"big brother!" murong tianze stood up from his chair and rushed forward at the sight of his elder brother. despite the unkempt beard and frail figure, he recognized his brother at first glance.

"second brother!" the two brothers had lived for centuries but embraced each other tightly, tears streaming down their faces.

as more people emerged from the black hole, there were two hundred and forty people. their injuries no longer posed an issue to them through the nourishment of liquified spiritual energy. they only needed some rest to recover their strength fully.

"yi'er, come and meet your parents," murong tianze said.

murong yi stood by the side with tears streaming down her face. this was the first time she had seen her parents in her life.

murong shanhe and his wife also turned to look at murong yi.

"father, mother, forgive me for letting you suffer for so long!" murong yi said, choked with emotion as she fell to her knees.

everyone in the main hall began to tear up at this sight.

"we've not suffered. stand up, don't cry!" murong yi's mother came forward to support her daughter before examining her closely.

everyone in the main hall began to greet each other. even though they hadn't met in the last two decades, there was no estrangement between them.

right then, murong shanhe walked over to liu wuxie.

"young lad, you've saved the murong clan, and i, murong shanhe, will never forget this debt of gratitude," murong shanhe said and gave liu wuxie a deep bow.

but before he could bow, liu wuxie had already rushed to stop him. he replied, waving his hands, "your words are too heavy, and i merely did what needed to be done."

after murong tianze transmitted a message about liu wuxie's relationship with murong yi to murong shanhe, the latter burst into hearty laughter. though his strength was still recovering, he could see that liu wuxie's talent was the finest he had ever seen in his lifetime, and his daughter wouldn't suffer with such a prodigy.

upon learning of their patriarch's return, the other members of the murong clan guarding outside began to burst into cheers, lifting their spirits that had been suppressed for the last two decades.

a banquet was held at night to welcome the patriarch's return. liu wuxie was seated beside murong shanhe, and murong tianze was absent as he had to recover from his injuries.

the feast brought joy to everyone who attended, and liu wuxie also rested in the manor.

"wuxie, thank you!" murong yi said, leading liu wuxie to his courtyard.

"do we need such formalities between us?" liu wuxie asked, his gaze fell onto murong yi's face, causing the latter to blush and look away shyly.

"it's late, and you should get some rest," murong yi said and fled. she feared losing control and crossing boundaries that shouldn't be crossed.nôv(el)b\\jnn
