Super Insane Doctor of the Goddess Chapter 3599: Missing Without a Trace!
Previously on Super Insane Doctor of the Goddess...
Upon hearing the commotion, the Qing Niu ceased its assault and came to a halt. Suddenly, an elder, clad in a grey-white Taoist robe, emerged. He possessed a lean physique, hair streaked with gray, and a visage of profound calmness. With a horsetail whisk in hand, he approached steadily.
The elder made a gentle motion with the whisk, and a brilliant golden light erupted, catching the falling Yang Luo and slowly lifting him. At this juncture, Yang Luo had completely lost consciousness, his life force perilously faint.
The Qing Niu voiced its concern, "Daoist Ancestor, this lad is merely a Demon, his murderous aura is overwhelming. Why not permit me to eliminate him?"
The elder observed Yang Luo for a moment before sighing softly. "This boy's mind has sustained a grievous blow, leading to his current madness. Furthermore, I find his aura strangely familiar..."
"His aura seems familiar?" The Qing Niu appeared taken aback. "Daoist Ancestor, could it be that you recognize this kid?"
The elder shook his head. "I have never encountered this child before, yet his aura gives me a peculiar sense of familiarity."
The Qing Niu nodded and inquired, "Daoist Ancestor, how shall we deal with this young man?"
After a brief contemplation, the elder instructed, "Take him with us."
"Understood!" the Qing Niu responded, promptly taking Yang Luo into its arms.
Subsequently, the elder again waved his horsetail whisk. Instantly! A Starry Sky Transmission Array materialized and was immediately activated!
A thunderous boom echoed as a golden beam shot skyward, piercing the celestial expanse above and plunging into the boundless void!
Moments later. As the radiant beam and the transmission array dissipated, Yang Luo, the elder, and the Qing Niu vanished from this sector of the starry sky.
Shortly after Yang Luo's disappearance, a rumbling explosion reverberated through the nearby cosmos! A vast Void Cave tore open in that very expanse!
A large contingent emerged, led by Fu Daosheng, Li Baitian, Bujie, and Xu Ying! Not long prior, Fu Daosheng, Li Baitian, and the others had detected Yang Luo's aura and the immense energy fluctuations, prompting their urgent arrival!
Upon reaching this part of the starry sky, everyone was struck with shock at the scene before them! Surveying their surroundings, they saw this celestial realm strewn with shattered remnants, flesh, and bone!
"Good heavens!" Bujie exclaimed, "Did a colossal battle take place here?! Was all of this the work of Brother Yang?!"
Ning Jianfeng gulped, commenting, "My word, Brother Yang, even when gravely injured and mentally shattered, can unleash such formidable combat prowess?!"
Yun Longxiang added, "Brother Ning, you know well the strength of Brother Yang! Even under dire circumstances, Brother Yang's might remains unparalleled!"
Xu Ying surveyed the scattered remains. "It appears these are the remains of mutated beasts. Did Brother Yang recently engage in a battle with a pack of mutated beasts?"
Fu Daosheng clarified, "To be precise, Little Friend Yang annihilated a group of Starry Sky Giant Beasts! These Starry Sky Giant Beasts are also referred to as 'Starry Sky Hunters'!"
"Starry Sky Giant Beasts?! Starry Sky Hunters?!" "What are Starry Sky Giant Beasts, Starry Sky Hunters? I've never heard of them!" Xu Ying, Bujie, and the others looked at Fu Daosheng with utter bewilderment.
Fu Daosheng elaborated, "Legend has it that the Starry Sky Universe harbors all manner of bizarre mutated beasts, inherently savage, whose existence revolves around preying upon other beings for sustenance! It is probable that this group of Starry Sky Giant Beasts perceived Little Friend Yang as weakened and mentally fractured, thus daring to attack! However, they gravely underestimated Little Friend Yang's true power and were instead annihilated!"
"I see..." "Where has Brother Yang gone? Why has he disappeared without a trace?!" "Could Brother Yang have been consumed by those Starry Sky Giant Beasts?!" "Nonsense, Brother Yang is incredibly powerful, how could those wretched Starry Sky Giant Beasts possibly harm him?!" "If Brother Yang were not injured, in his prime condition with his mind intact, those Starry Sky Giant Beasts would stand no chance against him, but the critical factor is... alas!" Xu Ying, Bujie, Ning Jianfeng, and Yun Longxiang began to debate.
Dongfang Ruoshui's eyes welled up. She quickly implored Fu Daosheng and Li Baitian, "Venerable seniors, can you sense Little Luo's aura? He is critically injured now, his spirit is broken. If we do not find him, he may truly be in mortal peril!"
Su Qingmei also expressed deep anxiety, "We must locate Yang Luo; no accident must befall him!" The other individuals present harbored similar grave concerns.
Fu Daosheng's brow furrowed. "Earlier, I could still discern Little Friend Yang's aura, but for some inexplicable reason, I can no longer sense it."
Li Baitian shook his head as well. "I cannot sense Little Friend Yang's aura either. It is possible he has already departed this starry sky!"
The Flame Emperor took a deep breath. "In that case, we shall continue our search. We must find Little Luo!"
"Precisely, we absolutely must find Brother Yang!" "We have to find Little Luo, no matter the cost!"
A chorus of agreement rose from the assembled crowd.
"Excellent!" Fu Daosheng declared, his voice resonating. "In that case, let us disperse and commence our search! The Starry Sky Universe is a realm fraught with peril, so caution is paramount, and constant communication is vital!"
"Understood!" came the unified reply, accompanied by numerous nods.
Shortly thereafter, the tens of thousands present organized into smaller contingents, fanning out across the vastness of the starry sky in pursuit of Yang Luo's trail...
... Time flowed onward, and ten days vanished without notice.
On a particular morning, ten days hence. The nascent sun painted the heavens and the earth with its golden rays.
In the Western Desert's Lingzhou region, within the hallowed grounds of the Xumi Sacred Land. The assembled monks had remained, sitting in quiet contemplation, cross-legged upon the mountains, their eyes closed in meditative silence as they chanted ancient scriptures.
Delegations from the Wa Palace, the Jiuli Demon Palace, and other significant powers, alongside the distant observers, also maintained their vigil, seated in meditation upon the surrounding peaks. All were awaiting Yang Luo's reappearance.
Word had spread, and they were aware of Yang Luo's lineage, recognizing him as the descendant of the Wu Dao Immortal Emperor, Yang Wudao. It was known that over a millennium ago, Yang Wudao had spearheaded a monumental battle against formidable foes, thereby securing the current era of peace and stability.
A profound reverence was felt for Yang Wudao. Beyond mere respect for Yang Luo himself, there was an accompanying sense of sympathy and pity.
"Ten days have passed, and yet Yang Immortal Venerable has not returned?" one voice mused aloud.
"Indeed, and it remains uncertain whether the Great Dao Immortal King and the Bai Tian Demon King have succeeded in locating Yang Immortal Venerable!"
"Have faith, Yang Immortal Venerable shall surely prevail and return!"
A murmur of discussion arose among the many, their hearts filled with anticipation for Yang Luo's homecoming.
Precisely at that moment. Rumble!
An earth-shattering roar echoed from above the Xumi Sacred Land! Suddenly, a colossal rift, a void cave of immense proportions, tore open in the sky.
A radiant beam of light descended from this celestial opening, bridging the chasm between the heavens and the earth!
"Could it be? Is it the return of the Great Dao Immortal King and the Bai Tian Demon King?!"
"Have they managed to find Yang Immortal Venerable already?!"
Exclamations of joy erupted from all present, who immediately arose from their seated positions.
The monks of the Xumi Sacred Land and the various Buddhist Path factions ceased their chanting, their eyes snapping open.
Soon, as the ethereal beam of light gradually faded, a sizable procession materialized in the sky overhead...
