Chapter 2242
After a while, the gigantic beast appeared in front of Tang Huan.
Of course, at that instant, the enormous beast had already transformed into a humanoid shape. It was the appearance of a black-robed old man.
"It's not easy for you to cultivate to such an extent." After looking up and down at the beast, Tang Huan couldn't help but chuckle.
"Senior, you flatter me."
The beast quickly said, "I just took advantage of my long lifespan."
When he looked at Tang Huan, the reverence in his eyes grew even stronger. In his eyes, even though Tang Huan looked like an ordinary person, she was in fact, abnormally deep and unfathomable.
He had a strong premonition that if he were to act recklessly, he would be turned into ashes in an instant.
This feeling surprised him as well. Back when he was outside, he had known that this Lord of the Celestial Realm was incomparably powerful, but now it seemed as though he was even more powerful than he had expected. This also made him secretly rejoice. His choice seemed to be the right one.
"Do you have a name?" Tang Huan smiled slightly. The age of this Supreme Ranked beast might not lose to Liu Li.
"Junior Void Rainbow."
The beast nodded.
Tang Huan slightly nodded, and said slowly: "Since you're cooperating with me, you should also know my situation. My name is Tang, and I have replaced Gu Daozi as you know me decades ago. "Oh right, there's one more thing I can tell you. Gu Daozi has been turned into ashes."
The fact that Tang Huan was listed as the top on the revered leader's ranking was within Xu Hong's expectations. She believed that for an expert like Tang Huan, to replace Gu Daozi, and to ascend to the top of the revered leader's ranking was only a matter of course.
However, the last few words that Tang Huan said, shocked him a little: "Senior Tang Huan, did he die because he tried to break through to the Divine Realm?"
"No, he was killed."
Tang Huan shook his head indifferently, "Not long after I replaced him and became the top ranker, he suddenly died. The two Sky Sovereigns who died along with him were also the Clear Void Dao Pavilion's Yuan Chao and Wei Xuanji. Wei Xuanji, you may not know about him, but you should have heard of Yuan Chao, he's extremely strong. "
There was surprise in Xu Que's eyes, "I do know about that Yuan Chao. He was previously ranked third on the Honored Warrior Board, but he and Gu Daozi died at the same time? Who killed him? "
"I don't know either."
Tang Huan laughed, "Void Rainbow, you are the Dark Void Beast, you have lived in this area for countless of years, do you know how many cultivators have been removed from the list of respected cultivators in the Ruins of God?"
"Senior, you suspect that the one who attacked was an expert from the Ruins of God?"
"From what this junior knows, there shouldn't be more than five experts in the Ruins of God. However, they shouldn't be the ones to kill Gu Daozi and the other two. Under normal circumstances, even if they were to exit the Ruins of God, they would only be moving around the entrance.
Tang Huan frowned, and muttered: "Since it's not them, then who is it?"
"If senior wants to know who the real culprit is, junior might have a way to find it out." Void Rainbow's heart moved slightly as he suddenly said.
"Oh? "Tell me about it."
Tang Huan's eyes revealed an additional hint of a smile.
The true culprits of killing the three of them, Gu Daozi, Yuan Chao and Wei Xuanji, had always been hidden in the shadows, causing him to feel somewhat uneasy. After all, his wife, son, and many of his friends were all on the peak of the Nine Palace. If the true culprit was hostile towards him, it might be because of Shan Shan, Mu Yan, Jiu Ling and the others.
If Tang Huan was still in the top nine days, there was no need for him to worry, but she was already far, far away from Crimson Nimbus …
Once the real culprit attacked, it would be very difficult for him to rescue the culprit in time.
Fortunately, just in case something happened, Tang Huan had already completed her preparations. She sealed up a part of the souls of Shan Shan and the others, and even if something really did happen to them, Tang Huan would be able to revive them in the future. Of course, this was the worst case scenario.
If he knew who the real culprit was, he might be able to take precautions.
"Senior Tang Huan, junior is more suited to speak in the race of the Dark Void Beast." Void Rainbow quickly said, "Junior can send a message and mobilize all the dark void beasts to see if they found anything strange in the vicinity of the ninth heaven."
"This method is indeed not bad."
"The culprit who had killed Gu Daozi, Yuan Chao, and Wei Xuanji must not be an ordinary person. Furthermore, I suspect that it is very likely that they were killed in the void of darkness, and the sounds of their battle would definitely not be any less."
This guess of Tang Huan's was not without reason.
After exiting the "Immortal Spirit Ancestral Court", Tang Huan had surpassed Gu Daozi, and reached the top of the list. She had even defeated Gu Daozi, causing him to self-destruct her cave dwelling and escape in a sorry state. They were probably worried that Tang Huan would seek revenge and cause trouble for them, so they wouldn't be able to stay in Qu A Tian's place forever.
Furthermore, according to what Tang Huan had heard from Liu Li later on, Gu Daozi, Yuan Chao, and Wei Xuanji didn't even return flying stars, and directly entered the void of darkness from Qu Ah Tian.
"Since that's the case, I'll send you out of here first. Hurry up and give it a try." Suddenly, Tang Huan gave the order.
"Yes, Senior!"
An instant later, a gentle force wrapped around the rainbow light and sent him out of the Supreme Profound Hall, while Tang Huan's mind also expanded along with it.
Outside the scroll, the virtual rainbow had already returned to its original form. An incomparably long snake-like body was spread across the void of darkness. In the next moment, the Dark Void Behemoth opened its huge mouth. A strange yet powerful ripple was emitted from its mouth. It merged with the darkness and quickly spread.
Tang Huan couldn't help but slightly nod her head. The fluctuation that came from the body of the Void Rainbow was like a soundless sound wave, able to frantically spread along the Origin Energy in the void of darkness. Within the sound wave, there was an extremely strong mind instructs (in a second) that was concealed within, and it also contained a trace of willpower that couldn't be defied.
In the race of the Dark Void Beast, the Void Rainbow should be the most powerful existence.
He was obviously passing down his orders to his own kind just now.
Using the dark void origin force as a link, it should be able to quickly transmit his orders to an area infinitely far away. If this continued, it probably wouldn't take long for all the enormous dark beasts in this dark void to receive his orders.
The void shut its mouth, not moving an inch, as if it was quietly listening to something.
Inside the Supreme Profound Hall, Tang Huan was also quietly sitting cross-legged.
It was impossible for him to pass down the order and report back in a day or two. Fortunately, he had not truly entered the entrance area of the Ruins of God. Under the control of Jianxin, the dwelling could easily resist the suction force that was spreading over from there. It would be fine to stay for a while longer.
A long time passed. In the dark void, the body of the Void Rainbow, which was as large as Pang Shuo, finally moved. In an instant, it changed back into the appearance of the black-robed old man.
With a thought, Tang Huan returned the rainbow back into her cave.
"Senior, the result is out." Without waiting for Tang Huan to ask, the Void Rainbow hurriedly spoke, "Nearly thirty years ago, in the void space outside Qu A'tian, an intense battle had indeed occurred. One side was fighting the three Sky Sovereigns, while the other side was fighting a gigantic fire phoenix."
"The time and numbers match."
Tang Huan thought for a while, then said, "The three Sky Sovereigns should be Gu Daozi, Yuan Chao and Wei Xuanji. As for the fire phoenix … Maybe it was created by Empyrean Flamephoenix. "
After saying that, Tang Huan's expression became gloomy.
When he discovered that Gu Daozi and the rest had died, Tang Huan had thought that it was because of the Heavenly Flame Phoenix Sect but he never thought that it was really her. That Empyrean Flamephoenix was truly lingering around like a ghost. She had actually arrived near Qu A'tian. To be able to kill Gu Daozi and the others, their strength could be imagined.
"Where is Empyrean Flamephoenix now?"
After a while, Tang Huan asked.
The true reason why Empyrean Flamephoenix came to Qu A'A was for him.
As for Gu Daozi, Yuan Chao, and Wei Xuanji, they were probably just supplementary items. If not for the fact that they had coincidentally bumped into Empyrean Flamephoenix in the outer space of Qu A'A, they probably wouldn't have died.
"It's still there." Void Rainbow hurriedly said.
"What has she been doing there? has his strength not fully recovered, or … "
Tang Huan was a little suspicious. It was very likely that after the Heavenly Elder Fire Phoenix merged with his enbodiment, his cultivation had already reached the realm of a half god.
It was because of this that her name did not enter the ranking board, but at the same time she possessed the terrifying strength to kill Gu Daozi and the rest. The more Tang Huan thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible. If the Heavenly Lord Fire Phoenix was truly a demigod more than thirty years ago, she would have been able to kill off Gu Daozi, Yuan Chao and Wei Xuan Ji in an instant.
If that was the case, the "fierce battle" that Xu Qiuhong had mentioned just now would not have happened at all.
However, even if Empyrean Flamephoenix wasn't a true demigod in the past, so many years had passed and she probably wasn't too far away from becoming a true demigod. Once she finished her cultivation, she would immediately enter the nine heavens. At that time, Qin Xian Ye, Ji Qingtian, Liu Li, and the others wouldn't be able to stop her.
"Void Rainbow, immediately send out a few Void Beasts and pretend to carelessly approach the Empyrean Flamephoenix. Afterwards, spread the news that I'm already rushing towards the 'Ruins of the Gods'."
"Understood."
Tang Huan sent the rainbow light out of the Supreme Profound Hall once again.
In the next moment, a thin jade slip appeared in Tang Huan's hand, which was used for communication. Relying on the Void Beast to spread the news was not enough of a guarantee. Tang Huan needed to inform Liu Li of the news she had just heard, and let her spread the news at the same time.
After a long time, the rainbow returned to the cave.
Tang Huan heaved a sigh of relief. This was all he could do now, and after that, she could only listen to the heavens' will. To be able to lure the Empyrean Flamephoenix into the Ruins of God, that would naturally be the best.
If Empyrean Fire Phoenix chased after Liu Li and the rest …
Then, Tang Huan could only use the Yan Luo Golden Immortal to teleport extremely far away. After she had dealt with the trouble with the Heavenly Flame Phoenix Sect, he would head back to the Ruins of God.
"Jianxin, continue forward."
Tang Huan gave an order, her mind continuing to flow outside of the "Myriad Sword Heavenly Diagram", the void rainbow quietly sat in front of Tang Huan, respectfully.
As the scroll flew forward, one could faintly see a hint of light, and the further the scroll went, the stronger the feeling of the sucking became.
"Void Rainbow, it's time for us to leave." After a few days, Tang Huan's eyes that were slightly closed opened, and she stood up.
"Yes, Senior!" Void Rainbow responded.
"..."
In a blink of an eye, the figures of Tang Huan and the Void Rainbow had already disappeared from the Supreme Profound Hall. Then, they appeared in the sky outside, and a brilliant light immediately appeared in front of Tang Huan's eyes.
With a thought, the scroll turned into a stream of light and entered Tang Huan's Dantian. The sucking in the Ruins of God was terrifyingly strong. Creatures that were slightly weaker would not be able to resist it and would immediately be sucked in. However, it would be too naive if she thought that she could enter the Ruins of God just because she was sucked in. If one was not strong enough, the moment one entered the depths of the Ruins, they would be completely crushed …
Broken.
No spatial artifact could withstand the power of the God Ruins' entrance. It would be directly used on the body.
If Tang Huan continued to stay in the cave, once that power descended, it was very likely that it would be greatly damaged. Tang Huan believed that with her current Primal Chaos Immortal's physique, she would definitely not have any problems resisting the pressure at the entrance of the Ruins of God.
As for the void rainbow, if no one stopped it, it shouldn't be too difficult to enter. After all, in this aspect, he had a greater advantage than the human cultivators.
In a blink of an eye, Tang Huan had already adapted to the intense light, and the rapidly spinning Pang Shuo vortex had already filled his vision. At this moment, he and Void Rainbow were at the edge of the white vortex.
Tang Huan resisted the pull of the sucking's power, and stood firmly without moving, while her enormous consciousness swept forward.
In just a blink of an eye, the several hundred thousand kilometers of area ahead of him had completely entered Tang Huan's perception range, and his mind had even touched upon the center of the whirlpool.
"Hmm?"
Instantly, Tang Huan gasped out.
In the air above the center of the white vortex sat a figure.
From within his well-built body, there seemed to be a formless and formless enormous power that howled out like a collapsing dam and overturned the seas. It was so mighty that it completely suppressed the power of the sucking that was gushing out from the depths of the vortex.
Tang Huan's face changed, her eyes becoming solemn.
The power that was roaring out from the red-robed elder's body not only helped him resist the suction force from the whirlpool, but also allowed him to sit firmly on top of it like a boulder. The power seemed to suppress the huge white whirlpool, limiting it to a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles.
In that moment, Tang Huan suddenly realized a problem that she had never thought of before.
The reason why the SemiGods were guarding the entrance to the Ruins of God was most likely not to prevent creatures like Void Rainbow from entering, but rather to suppress the white vortex and stop it from expanding any further. Otherwise, the entrance to the Ruins of God wouldn't have been just hundreds of thousands of miles in size. It would have been millions of miles in radius, tens of millions of miles in radius, or even greater.
