Shennong Sequence

Chapter 372 Immortal War: A Wrath Shatters the Heavens, A Cataclysmic Flood Destroys the World; Imprisoning the Extraordinary, Drowning All Things.
Therefore, Zhao Yun did not take the opportunity to travel to the Zhuori Desert for sightseeing.

He only wanted to quickly return to the protection of Guihongzhou City in the northern border region of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and never wanted to experience such a powerful battle scene again.

Furthermore, as Zhao Yun and his group began to circle towards the border of the Northern Liang Continent of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they also discovered that many of their colleagues who had fallen from the void were also choosing a similar method, either flying or circling on the ground to get away from the main battlefield of the immortals above the barbarian royal court, and returning to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Meanwhile, some people, like Zhao Yun, used their vast spatial treasures to pick and choose any valuable monsters, spiritual materials, or other resources they encountered along the way.

Those cultivators who lacked large spaces to store living creatures simply collected the pelts, bones, blood, and other special materials they encountered along the way, as well as some of the more valuable monster hides.

There is another question,
When Zhao Yun transformed into a hawk, it aroused the vigilance of those who were also heading towards the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Because the barbarian gods are skilled at transforming various living beings into three forms: human, half-beast, and fully-fledged beast.

Therefore, Zhao Yun's ability to transform into a hawk naturally raises suspicions about his origins...

This led to no one daring to travel with Zhao Yun's group, fearing a sneak attack or an accident on the escape route. So they all tacitly kept a considerable distance from Zhao Yun's group, thus preserving their own strength for the escape.

Zhao Yun was naturally happy to relax, and since these people who had evacuated were all far away from Zhao Yun's flight path, the large open area filled with the remains of monsters, crippled monsters, or rare and precious materials would become Zhao Yun's prey to enjoy alone.

There's no need to compete with others.

Other than that,

As the distance between the five hundred miles and the battle between the barbarian royal court and the immortals increased, the influence of the aftershocks of the battle had also diminished to a very weak state.

Therefore, during his flight, Zhao Yun encountered many barbarian tribes and often peered fearfully toward the barbarian royal court...

In addition,

When these barbarian tribes saw Zhao Yun, who could transform into a hawk, they mistook him for an envoy of the barbarian king... and thus acted in a friendly manner, allowing him to pass through their territory.

However, when these barbarian tribes encountered people from the Great Zhou Dynasty crossing their borders, they would obstruct and kill them.

In short, whenever the two sides meet during this tense time, it will lead to a series of localized battles.

As the battle broke out, the groups and personnel that the Great Zhou Dynasty was gradually gathering together were few in number, and they needed to ensure the survival of their remaining forces. As a result, they would take the initiative to retreat into the cover of darkness and quietly withdraw...

This is why small-scale conflicts on the Canglan Grassland end so quickly.

However, Zhao Yun was not troubled by these issues, so he ran ahead of the retreating army and picked up more supplies!

But just as Zhao Yun continued to fly south towards the Canglan Grassland to escape, he suddenly heard a deafening roar, like mountains collapsing, erupt from the Immortal Battle Ground to the north!
Then, when Zhao Yun looked back, he saw a huge, dark hole in the top of the pitch-black sky. Around this hole, there were several long-lasting streaks of light that cut across the sky, forming cracks in the heavens.

Then, a violent sound, like shattering glass rather than a thunderstorm, resounded instantly atop the dark night sky... as if the sky itself had shattered like a mirror, following the cracks in the air!

Immediately following those crisp, shattering sounds...

Another kind of booming sound erupted from the top of the sky.
Just listening to it, it sounds as if an endless stream of water is falling vertically from the shattered hole in the sky!
Furthermore, in the very instant that Zhao Yun witnessed the main battlefield of the barbarian royal court seemingly cracking open, with an endless flood descending from the sky,

Zhao Yun saw an endless flood rushing past his eyes. Looking down, he saw a small barbarian tribe below his flight path being instantly engulfed by the vast and boundless torrent.

Then, the creatures of this tribe, without even making a ripple in the flood, were swept away in an instant by the vast floodwaters to a more distant horizon...

In that instant, Zhao Yun realized that he could no longer fly using the flapping wings of the eagle!
Even when they used other magical artifacts and treasures to try to fly in the sky and get away from the endless flood that suddenly appeared on the ground, they found that they still couldn't fly!

Even when Zhao Yun used the magic power in his dantian to manipulate a small portion of the power of the immortal artifact, the Wind and Thunder Wings, in this emergency, he only managed to lift it slightly upwards before rapidly plummeting into the endless torrent, and was instantly swept even further away...

In addition, although Zhao Yun himself was not very good at swimming, he still had the Water Escape ability of the Five Elements Escape. However, when he used the Five Elements Escape to escape in the great flood that split the sky and ensured his safety, he found that when he was truly immersed in this boundless flood, all his power seemed to be completely sealed!
It's no longer usable!

Moreover, there was an endless rage and a corrosive energy drilling into my body!
Within moments, Zhao Yun felt that his physical body could no longer hold on.

Zhao Yun also discovered that he could not float to the surface and was sinking deeper into the endless flood.

These various circumstances combined startled Zhao Yun, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.

Then, he had no choice but to communicate with the divine spiritual realm, open the entrance, and enter the divine spiritual realm to avoid the great flood that would descend after the immortals fought too fiercely.

As for the violent, destructive, imprisoning, and corrosive energies within this great flood, let the divine spiritual realm withstand them for now. Zhao Yun is currently unable to use his magic or cast spells within the strange imprisoning power of this great flood.

After Zhao Yun used the power of the divine spiritual realm to expel the energy that was about to burst his body, and then used two drops of sweet dew to recover, he discovered that the golden bones in his body, which had been undergoing a slow transformation, had improved rapidly!
The spine and skull above the neck have completely transformed into even stronger golden bones.

Furthermore, the transformation in his bones had already been significant, but Zhao Yun was distracted by another new discovery!

He discovered that the size of this divine spiritual realm was very strange!
Although this divine spiritual realm manifested as a small crystal ball of light under the impact of this celestial torrent, it remained fixed at the bottom of the torrent.

However, under Zhao Yun's complete control and perception of the Divine Spirit Realm, the Divine Spirit Realm exhibited a strange behavior:
The divine spiritual realm was greedily absorbing some strange substance from the vast and boundless flood, causing the divine spiritual realm itself to begin a new state of expansion!
Furthermore, during the approximately fifteen minutes that Zhao Yun was recovering, the void boundary of the inner space of the Divine Spirit Realm was gradually expanding at a rate much faster than when it had merged with fourth- and fifth-grade spiritual veins, continuously increasing the area within the Divine Spirit Realm.

The sky is high, the earth is thick, and the surface area is large!
Furthermore, along with the expansion of the divine spiritual domain, the domain power that Zhao Yun can currently condense is also increasing simultaneously, becoming even stronger!

Other than that,

As the divine spiritual realm strengthens, it also promotes the growth of the mountain god's divinity associated with it, as well as a comprehensive enhancement of Zhao Yun's own magnetic field, life, physique, and so on!
In an instant, Zhao Yun didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

Although he was trapped and suppressed by the massive flood that ripped the heavens apart, the strange expansion and strengthening of his divine spiritual realm was a rare and precious opportunity!
Furthermore, as the Divine Spirit Realm absorbed a strange substance from the great flood, Zhao Yun discovered that the Divine Spirit Realm was not only nurturing the area of ​​heaven and earth, but also enriching the profound foundation of this space and nurturing the process of regulating the different water systems underground in the central continent, thus presenting the process of the five elements' rotation in a more reasonable state!
In addition, the Divine Spirit Realm is also spontaneously drawing in some of the great floods from the celestial fissures, filling the underground space of the Divine Spirit Realm. Then, the power of the five elements' rotation within the five-colored stone, which is one of the components of the Divine Spirit Realm, and the mobilization of some of the five elements' original power within the five spirit generals, gradually transform more of the great floods into five elements' substances, thereby replenishing the foundation of everything in the entire Divine Spirit Realm!
It seems that the great flood outside is no longer some kind of ferocious beast.

Rather, it is a special kind of maternal water that can promote the growth of the world and make Zhao Yun stronger.

So, out of curiosity, Zhao Yun took a small amount of the Great Flood and studied the special substances within it with Xin Ruyin.

However, it was discovered that the power that imprisoned everything in the Great Flood, and the power that caused all matter to unconsciously sink to the bottom of the Great Flood, had disappeared in the divine spiritual realm that separated this part of the Great Flood from the whole Great Flood.
"Is this force that imprisons everything and causes matter to perish the very power of the great flood that descended from the sky?"

"Or is it the power that caused the cataclysmic change in the world, whether it was the Great Zhou Dynasty or the power of those ancestors from the barbarian royal court?"

"Or perhaps I intercepted too little of the great flood, so the power within it to imprison the extraordinary and corrupt matter was not manifested?"

As Zhao Yun pondered his questions, he also noticed that the divine spiritual domain was continuously expanding in size, and the land that was growing was completely barren.

Therefore, Zhao Yun continued to draw in more great floods, directing them to irrigate the growing peripheral lands of the divine spiritual realm.

Ultimately, the Great Flood formed a ring of outer seas surrounding the main land of this divine spiritual realm.

Zhao Yun wanted to see if this power that imprisoned the extraordinary and caused the stagnation of all things was the power of the Great Flood itself, or if it was formed by some strange force mixed in.
Moreover, this conclusion also forms the basis for some of Zhao Yun's subsequent research on how to break through the siege of the great flood!
Therefore, if this power that imprisons the extraordinary and corrupts all things is the essence of the Great Flood, then the fact that it is used to guide the Great Flood into the divine realm and assimilate it into the characteristics of the divine realm itself would be one of the components of Zhao Yun's divine power as a mountain god, and would inevitably become another special trump card for Zhao Yun.

At that time, any living being imprisoned in the divine spiritual realm by Zhao Yun will not only be unable to fly, but will also have all extraordinary powers imprisoned... Wouldn't that person then be completely at Zhao Yun's mercy?

Therefore, in the face of this catastrophic flood, Zhao Yun was able to turn the crisis into a special and lasting opportunity because he possessed a divine spatial treasure such as the Divine Spiritual Domain!

but,

After studying it together for a while, Zhao Yun and Xin Ruyin were able to determine that this great flood, which poured down from the hole in the sky and instantly covered an area of ​​a hundred miles, was in essence a special power that could suppress everything, imprison the extraordinary, and submerge all things.

Why wasn't it highlighted before?

It was because when Zhao Yun and Xin Ruyin first started their research, they only prepared a small basin of floodwater... The amount was rather small, which resulted in less special power contained within it, making it insufficient for Zhao Yun and the others to immediately detect.

Can you tell now?
This was because Zhao Yun had drawn a great deal of floodwater from the edge of the divine spiritual realm, which increased the amount of this special power that had accumulated, and Zhao Yun naturally noticed it.

In addition,

Even more extraordinary substances than those that 'suppress all, imprison the extraordinary, and cause the demise of all things' were being absorbed by the divine spiritual realm from the Great Flood. This caused the divine spiritual realm, which was originally only 12 miles wide, to grow rapidly, now expanding to a radius of 13 miles.
And it continues to grow rapidly...

Furthermore, when Zhao Yun actively guided the Great Flood and also actively activated the world power and material transformation method nurtured in the divine spiritual realm to conduct an alternative analysis of the Great Flood, the power of the Great Flood that 'suppresses everything, imprisons the extraordinary, and submerges all things' began to slowly merge into the domain power of the divine spiritual realm.

This caused both the divine spiritual realm and the mountain god's divinity to spontaneously acquire the power to 'suppress everything, imprison the extraordinary, and cause all things to perish'!

Furthermore, these special powers can also be mobilized and exerted by Zhao Yun in the outside world through the world power of the divine spiritual realm or the representative divine power of the mountain god!

Furthermore, as these powers from the Great Flood—powers that 'suppress everything, imprison the extraordinary, and cause all things to perish'—were integrated into the Divine Realm, Zhao Yun felt that the Divine Realm had undergone some inexplicable and strange changes.

It's as if there has been a significant qualitative transformation between a divine realm and a more perfect state of the real world!
