Shen Kuang looked into Tan Yun's eyes and felt a wave of dizziness in his mind. He quickly tried to shake it off, but the feeling only intensified, making it difficult for him to concentrate.
"What's happening? Why do I feel so disoriented?" he muttered, struggling to maintain his clarity.
Meanwhile, the other disciples were also affected by Tan Yun’s eye technique, their faces showing signs of confusion and fear. They instinctively felt a predatory intent emanating from Tan Yun.
"Stay calm! Don't look into his eyes!" one of the disciples shouted, trying to snap everyone back to reality.
But it was too late; the mesmerizing glow from Tan Yun's primordial divine eye had already cast a spell over them.
As panic began to rise among the group, Tan Yun raised the elixir he was holding, his voice echoing with authority, "This is the key to our survival! If you all want to escape this disaster, you must listen to me!"
The disciples, caught between fear and curiosity, were now paying close attention to Tan Yun. His commanding presence and the allure of the elixir sparked a flicker of hope within them.
"Focus on my voice! You are safe as long as you follow my instructions!" Tan Yun urged, his voice cutting through the haze of confusion.
Gradually, the dizziness began to subside, and the disciples found themselves drawn back to reality, their minds clearing as they realized the situation they were in.
"Alright! We will follow you!" one of them yelled, determination overcoming their initial fear.
With their resolve renewed, the disciples gathered around Tan Yun, ready to heed his commands and battle the looming threat together.
Unfortunately, his warning came too late. At that moment, aside from Shen Kuang, only three core disciples remained conscious; over fifty thousand disciples were left in a daze.
"Shen Shixiong, what should we do?!" one of the disciples shouted, his face pale, while the other two trembled violently, their eyes filled with panic.
"Flee into the God Burial Mountain Range and shake him off!" Shen Kuang bellowed and immediately turned in midair, shooting towards the God Burial Mountain Range.
The three disciples at the great perfection of the ancestral emperor realm followed closely behind...
Tan Yun promptly released his divine consciousness, locking onto the trajectories of the four. Then, addressing the more than fifty thousand dazed disciples, he commanded, "Take off all your ancestral rings and throw them over here."
"Yes." After responding in unison, the fifty thousand disciples quickly removed their ancestral rings and threw them towards Tan Yun.
After collecting the more than fifty thousand ancestral rings, a spell-like voice echoed in the minds of the crowd, "In one moment, everyone will self-destruct their ancestral emperor embryos and ancestral emperor flesh!"
"Yes." They robotically complied.
"What do we do, Tan Yun?" At this moment, Yu Yunxi anxiously flew beside Tan Yun, "We cannot let the four leave the Ancient Fire Prison alive; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!"
"Rest assured, they won't walk out alive." Tan Yun replied, summoning the Fang Sheng Hall, saying, "You may enter."
"Okay." After Yu Yunxi entered the first level of the Fang Sheng Hall, Tan Yun put away the hall and maximized his speed, chasing after the four...
In flight, Tan Yun's speed was slightly slower than Shen Kuang's, but much faster than the other three...
"Bang, bang, bang—"
"Rumble, rumble—"
As soon as Tan Yun flew into the God Burial Mountain Range, faintly heard sounds of self-explosions from the disciples outside...
At that moment, Shen Kuang, wishing only to save his life, sped away, leaving his three fellow disciples far behind.
The three, terrified, continued flying, and one of them proposed, "Brothers, we can't keep this up; it won't be long before Tan Yun catches up with us!"
"Alright, we can only do this for now!" After the other two replied, the three planned to escape in different directions.
"Do you think I will give you the chance to escape separately?" Suddenly, a voice filled with murderous intent rolled in from behind them, and the three turned to see a terrifying sight.
