"Nice one."
Gu Chuan didn't hesitate either, immediately storing away the three storage bags with a wave of his hand.
These storage bags were left behind by the natives of the three Origin Continents. Even though they didn't contain all the treasures, some of the items inside were enough to make him incredibly rich.
The Axes on their bodies were all Chaos Magic Treasures—extremely sharp. Though they weren't as powerful as Pangu's Axe, they were still impressive. If refined and sacrificed, they could reach the level of the Sky-Opening Axe, a rare treasure indeed.
At the moment when the three Elders died, the other Baili Elders sensed the situation. Their faces changed drastically, and panic spread across them.
"Damn it, Bailiyue Elder and the others are dead—they were beaten to death by that creature from the Universe Sea!"
A member of the Baili Race couldn't help but yell, his voice filled with panic. "How could this happen?!"
"What? How is this possible? Bailiyue Elder and the others had all been promoted to the Primordial Chaos Saint Realm, their strength unmatched. How could they be beaten to death with a single punch?"
Many warriors of the Baili Race couldn't believe it. Their Elders had reached the Primordial Chaos Saint Realm, a level where they were considered powerful, even though they couldn't compare to the Lords of the Universe. Yet now, they were beaten to death by this creature from the Universe Sea. It was unimaginable. They stood frozen, as if their minds were blank.
"It's true. I can no longer perceive the soul fire of Bailiyue Elder and the others. Even the storage bags on their bodies have fallen into the hands of that creature from the Universe Sea."
"Damn it! The enemy is tough. Retreat! Retreat immediately after capturing these creatures from the Universe Sea!"
The faces of many warriors from the Baili Race changed drastically. Knowing that Bailiyue Elder and the others were beaten to death with a single punch, they had no desire to seek revenge. It wasn't a matter of vengeance anymore—they feared they might all be wiped out if they fought back.
These Baili Race warriors made a quick decision to retreat. There were too many strong beings in the Origin Continent, and meeting one or two powerful individuals like this wasn't out of the ordinary, but their misfortune was too great this time.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Before Gu Chuan could react, the Baili Race warriors captured and sealed their opponents in an instant, swiftly storing them away with a breath of time.
In just a few moments, the Baili Race warriors ran faster than anyone, their entire formation retreating as they flew into the forest.
Their decisions were made with absolute clarity, leaving no room for hesitation.
Clatter~~
In an instant, Gu Chuan left the alien space and returned to the present world.
He looked around and found that the bustling team had thinned out. Only a few hundred Saints remained on the original land.
As for the Saints who hadn't stayed, it was unknown whether they had died or been captured. Life and death hung in the balance.
The remaining Saints were all ashen-faced, shocked at how quickly things had gone wrong. They were peak powerhouses in their respective universes, yet upon entering the Origin Continent, they were captured and killed like ants.
If it weren't for the mentally tough ones, their Dao hearts would have collapsed long ago.
Now, they had no way to leave the Origin Continent. They could only survive on this continent, uncertain of what the future held. They had no escape.
"Wait?!"
Gu Chuan, who initially wanted to chase after the retreating Baili Race warriors, suddenly sensed numerous void fluctuations in the surrounding forest. Powerful auras lurked in the shadows, all rushing toward him.
He had come to the Origin Continent only to gather information, not to fight. There was no need to cause such a disturbance right after entering.
After all, he was only a avatar, his greatest strength being his ability to gather information, not engage in battle.
"Forget it. These guys are lucky. I'll leave."
With that, he quickly left the area, not giving the remaining Saints another thought. After all, their survival through the previous attack showed they likely had some self-protection abilities, so he didn't need to worry.
A Few Days Later
Many warriors from the Baili Race returned to their tribe, each carrying captured Saints from the Universe Sea.
These Saints were alive but had been sealed and their powers suppressed to almost zero. They were completely at the mercy of the Baili Race.
They were all ashen-faced, deeply worried about their fate. They had no idea what the future would hold for them.
"What's going on? Where are Bailiyue Elder and the others?"
Upon returning, the patriarch of the Baili Race immediately noticed the absence of the three Elders, a bad feeling growing in his heart.
The other Baili Race Elders also seemed troubled. They searched everywhere for Bailiyue and the others but could not find them.
"Report to the patriarch. Bailiyue Elder and the others have fallen. They were killed by a Saint from the Universe Sea with a single punch. They couldn't even fight back. We retreated quickly and only captured these creatures from the Universe Sea."
A warrior from the Baili Race said, grief etched on his face.
"What? Killed Bailiyue Elder and the others with one punch?!"
Many of the Baili Race Elders couldn't believe their ears. A creature from the Universe Sea was so powerful that it could kill a Primordial Chaos Saint in a single blow. It was unbelievable.
"You did the right thing. There's no room for hesitation when facing these creatures from the Universe Sea. If you had been even a little late, you might not have returned at all."
The patriarch of the Baili Race said gravely.
"Patriarch, should we really be so nervous about a creature from the Universe Sea?"
An Elder of the Baili Race asked.
"What do you know?"
The patriarch of the Baili Race snorted coldly. "A mere creature from the Universe Sea? What right do we have to underestimate it? Most of the peerless powerhouses from the Origin Continent have origins in the Universe Sea."
"On the contrary, there are many natives here, but few who are truly peerless in power."
"This..."
A group of Baili Race Elders was speechless, unable to respond.
Because the truth was undeniable—the natives of the Origin Continent were far from being as powerful as those from the Universe Sea. They were forced to survive under the shadow of these otherworldly beings. And if they disrespected them in the slightest, their tribe would likely face annihilation.
