Chapter 533: The Formation Is About to Break, The Final Choice

Cang Continent, Ascension City.

Most of the Xu Family members, the families of the loyal subjects of the Great Qian Dynasty, the Xu Family's in-laws, the descendants of Little Gray—the Heavenly Fire Burning Flame Beast Clan—and the Nine-tailed Fox Clan had already been sent into the Small World.

The remaining people were all together; if the situation turned dire, Xu Qingzhou would immediately take them in as well.

If it were just Xu Qingzhou facing this dead end, he would have no countermeasures.

But the Xu Family still had seven Children of Destiny. From their inner thoughts, Xu Qingzhou had heard their trump cards and summarized three current solutions.

The first is to go to the Earth Spirit Realm that Xu Luo mentioned. The advantage is that the Xu Family can change locations and develop in peace. The disadvantage is that it is unknown whether the journey will be smooth and if they can safely reach the destination.

The second is for everyone in the Xu Family to enter the Small World, and for Xu Qingzhou to use the escape trump card possessed by Xu Chen to leave the Cang Continent.

The advantage of this is that the escape process is safe and reliable, and there is a high probability that everyone can be ensured to be safe.

However, while still in the Tian Yuan World, relying on the control of the twelve hegemonic-level forces over the Tian Yuan World, they would have to hide in the Small World for most of the time in the future. Once they leave, they would have to be cautious, treading on thin ice.

Most of the Opportunities in the world could not be contested, and the development speed of the entire Family would slow down significantly, or even stagnate or regress.

However, because they would still be in the Tian Yuan World, they would be very close to their enemies. Once a suitable Opportunity arose, they could sneakily strike the enemy hard and take some interest first.

The third is to rely on the treasures Xu Hao brought back from the Immortal Realm, such as a single strike left behind by experts, to defeat the powerful enemies and deter the twelve hegemonic-level forces, making them afraid to invade again.

There are Immortals in the Immortal Realm, and Heavenly Emperors are countless. With Xu Hao's situation, if he joins a large force in the Mingyue Immortal Dynasty, he could absolutely exchange for such treasures.

But most are one-time items, and they cannot make a true Heavenly Emperor descend, so defeating strong enemies is easy, but deterring them is hard to say.

After all, those are twelve hegemonic-level forces, each with so many Emperor Realm Experts. If one of them goes crazy and acts regardless of consequences, the safety of the Xu Family still cannot be guaranteed.

Therefore, the advantage of this method is that it can strike the enemy hard, but the disadvantage is that it cannot achieve sustained and stable deterrence.

Seeing that the Ascension City protective Formation was about to be broken, before Xu Qingzhou could speak, Xu Luo stepped forward first.

"Sixth Uncle, I have a way to break the deadlock, but it is a bit risky."

'At this point, we can only try. However, that expert from the Earth Spirit Realm in my previous life was able to come to the Tian Yuan World alive, so that method likely has no problems.'

"Oh?"

Xu Qingzhou's eyes lit up. "Tell me about it."

Xu Luo made up a reason and explained the matter of the Earth Spirit Realm, finally summarizing, "This Earth Spirit Realm likely exists, and the method to open the passage should also be feasible, but it is uncertain whether we can successfully reach the Earth Spirit Realm."

"I have already prepared the Formation and the Heaven And Earth Treasure needed to open the passage. If the Formation breaks in a moment and there is really no other way, we can try it at our own risk."

'If we fight to the death, there is no chance of winning, so even if there is uncertainty, we have to try.'

Xu Luo did not know that Xu Chen had a trump card, which is why he directly proposed this overly risky idea.

At this time, Xu Chen also walked up and took out an ancient token.

"Clan Uncle, I obtained this token by chance. After activating it, it can ignore any Restriction, barrier, or Domain and teleport billions of miles away, but it can only be used by one person."

"You take it. Later, you can find a suitable Opportunity to use it after taking us into the Small World."

Xu Luo affirmed, "This is also a good method, more stable. Unfortunately, it is still in the Tian Yuan World, which greatly limits the development of our Xu Family."

If these strong enemies had not invaded, according to the normal development speed of the Xu Family, it would only take about a thousand years for the Xu Family to become one of the hegemonic-level forces in the Tian Yuan World.

But if they were surrounded and intercepted by so many hegemonic-level forces, they could only hide in the Small World, and the development speed would drop sharply. It is unknown how many years it would take to reach their height and take revenge.

Two paths were laid out before them. Both had pros and cons, depending on Xu Qingzhou's decision.

"Crack…"

At this moment, cracks appeared in the Formation above Ascension City, and it could be broken at any time.

"Pfft…"

The Elder of the Xuantian Holy Sect, who was controlling the Formation with all his might, coughed up blood continuously due to excessive consumption of true Qi and blood.

Now was the time when a choice had to be made.

And Xu Hao, who had gone to the Immortal Realm to seek treasures, had not yet returned.

Xu Qingzhou frowned and said, "Going to the Earth Spirit Realm is too risky. If it were just me, I could try, but with the entire Xu Family, it is better not to take such a big risk!"

Xu Qingzhou made his decision. The others in the Xu Family had no thoughts and looked at him with firm eyes.

Just as he said, if there were only a few people, they could take the risk.

But there were so many Xu Family members and other people of their own in the Small World, adding up to nearly a million.

The expert from Xu Luo's previous life was fine coming from the Earth Spirit Realm to the Tian Yuan World, but that didn't mean it would be fine going back.

And once they encountered danger on the way to the Earth Spirit Realm, the people in the Small World would very likely be in danger along with Xu Qingzhou. This consequence was too serious.

It was safer to escape using Xu Chen's token.

Xu Chu had originally wanted to execute his own plan, go to the secret base, Seal his feigned death, and come out after a thousand years, but seeing that the Xu Family was preparing to leave like this, he had no need to execute this plan.

"Bang!!"

With a full-force strike from an Emperor Realm Expert, the entire Ascension City shook violently, and a set of Saint Weapons placed at the eye of the Formation exploded directly.

Seeing that, the next moment the Formation would be broken.

"Go!!"

Xu Qingzhou waved his hand and pulled everyone remaining into the Small World.
