The towering crack-filled God of War Pagoda forcibly traveled through space, and it instantly traversed hundreds of thousands of miles under Ye Qingcang’s control.
Of course, the amount of Spirit Qi that was consumed was also immense.
Ye Qingcang had already decided that he would definitely get the little fellow to reimburse him for everything after saving Shen Tian.
Rumble!
The towering God of War Pagoda landed on that desolate island accompanied by a reverberating sound.
Ye Qingcang appeared above the pagoda, and he fixed his eyes on Shen Tian’s main body. He was burning with anger!
“His soul has been completely pulled into another space. His clone acted as the medium, forcibly pulling the main body’s soul away.” Ye Qingcang’s expression turned serious. “I’ve underestimated that so-called forbidden tablet. However, it’s not that simple to make a move on my godson!”
The God of War Pagoda instantly shone intensively, merging into Ye Qingcang’s body.
In that instant, Ye Qingcang’s illusory body turned real, and his aura increased exponentially.
If there was a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator present, they would most likely tremble in fear due to Ye Qingcang’s oppressive aura—that kind of strength did not belong to this world!
“Scram, don’t block my way!”
He formed countless hand seals with a speed that naked eyes could not discern, and a radiant door with mysterious Dao runes appeared in front of Ye Qingcang.
The purple aura surrounding Ye Qingcang was burning furiously, and his original thin body’s muscles instantly bulged out, making him seem exceptionally burly.
“Heavenly Wilderness 36 Hammers—Blazing Sun Hammer!”
Ye Qingcang held his hands together like he was holding air, and his endless purple aura instantly formed a gargantuan hammer in his hands.
“At least 800,000 Spirit Crystals will be consumed for this strike, such a loss!
“Tian’er, ah, Tian’er. I’ll be relying on you to provide for me in the future.”
Ye Qingcang was complaining, but he did not stop his actions.
The gargantuan hammer was burning with purplish-red flames—it was like the blazing sun smashing onto that door.
Rumble!
That door trembled vigorously while the space around it was smashed into pieces and returned to nothingness.
However, that door still did not open. It was like an immutable existence, and no external force could shake it.
Ye Qingcang’s eyes widened.
“There’s such a thing in the mortal world?
“Forget it. If I can’t smash it open in one strike, then I’ll smash it a few more times. I don’t believe that there’s a door I can’t smash open!”
800,000!
800,000!
800,000!
Ye Qingcang fumed with rage as he smashed the door with all his strength, causing the entire space around the desolate island to crack apart.
That was still because Ye Qingcang had already controlled his strength to the maximum level. Otherwise, if even a tiny bit of his strength leaked, the whole space would become a complete wasteland.
After countless strikes—even the purple light surrounding the God of War Pagoda had dimmed greatly—that resplendent door finally opened slowly.
Success!
Ye Qingcang twisted his old waist as he walked inside that door while holding the purple hammer.
Ye Qingcang rushed into the door, speaking daringly. “Just who in the world is it? Hurry and give me back Shen Tian, or else I’ll—”
Three seconds later, a dazzling heavenly light exploded from the door, making everything else lose its color.
A figure in a sorry plight shot out of the door. He was covered in dust, his hair was in a mess, and his face was filled with astonishment and horror.
“OMG! It’s her!? Did I engage in a fight with her just now?
“If this becomes known in the Celestial World, then it will be enough for me to brag for another tens of thousands of years!
“Why did she kidnap Tian’er? Is it possible that she’s planning to raise him into her husband in the future?
“Tsss! Then I don’t need to save him anymore.”
…
In a certain space, Shen Tian slowly opened his eyes. He realized that he was in an empty space and could not see anyone anywhere.
It was a space of chaos, and all he could see was endless gray and white. It was as if heaven and earth had yet to be created.
The gray and white chaotic aura spiraled in the sky, like a huge Grand Primordium millstone, devouring and absorbing all energy in the surroundings.
However, it was not only devouring energy. Shen Tian could vaguely see through that endless chaotic aura in the millstone’s center, and… rainbow heavenly light was being created.
If the chaotic aura was described as erosive and all-devouring, then the rainbow heavenly light would make people feel at peace as if it could nurture everything.
The heavenly light was in the center of the millstone. It was as if it was creating a new world and nurturing a new life.
So this is the thing that sucked me into this space through my two clones?
Shen Tian’s mouth twitched. He could still remember how that old man had reassured him with lines such as “There’s no one that can harm you with your great godfather” or “As long as your main body is beside me, I can easily protect you”.
Then what’s the situation now? Looks like you have failed!
Shen Tian suddenly narrowed his eyes.
He saw that the heavenly light in the huge millstone started fluctuating.
A figure was born from the rainbow heavenly light. She wore white clothes and looked as if she had cut herself off from the rest of the world. Her body looked like an illusion that could last for eternity.
She was dressed in a snow-white dress. Her back was facing Shen Tian, her jet-black hair flowing naturally down behind her.
This figure was enshrouded in pure divine energy. Her slender figure was silent and unmoving as if she had been standing this way since the beginning of time.
The moment she appeared, even the rainbow heavenly light lost its luster and completely turned into the background.
Such a familiar special effect, familiar sensation…
Shen Tian felt slightly nervous because he had seen this lady before!
She was that Great Empress who had taught him the Flying Sword Technique through the bronze ring.
Even to the current Shen Tian, that Flying Sword Technique was still the most powerful killing strike without exception!
Shen Tian had never expected that he would encounter her when deciphering the forbidden tablet.
However, since they were old lov— Acquaintances, he would at least not lose his life.
Shen Tian heaved a sigh of relief.
…
The figure suddenly turned. Shen Tian felt like a beam of light was shining upon him.
At that moment, Shen Tian felt like he was being completely exposed.
F*ck! Again!?
Does this Great Empress have X-ray vision?
It’s really embarrassing to be stared at so intensely, okay?
Shen Tian suspected that this person would shirk all responsibility even after looking at him all over in this manner!
A second time at that!
Shen Tian murmured, “Again, have you seen enough?”
Shen Tian’s murmur was extremely soft. He was in her territory, after all.
Also, Shen Tian did not count on this figure before him to answer him as she looked extremely cold.
To her, the current Shen Tian was most likely as weak as an ant. Would a dragon answer the question of an ant?
However, what Shen Tian never expected was that the Great Empress actually spoke.
“10,000 years of waiting have not been in vain. You’ve finally returned.”
Huh?
,000 years of waiting have not been in vain? I’ve finally returned!?
Although Shen Tian was stunned, he was elated.
Is it possible that I might be some incredible mighty being’s reincarnation?
Is it possible that this unsurpassed beauty was my partner in my previous life? Then… I won’t need to work hard anymore?
Just as Shen Tian was in joy, a ray of blue light suddenly shot out of him.
It was the ring made of simple and ancient bronze. It looked crude and ordinary.
The woman grabbed the ring and gently rubbed it as if she was touching the most precious treasure.
Shen Tian’s mouth twitched.
So the “you” in the “You’ve finally returned” was not referring to me but this bronze ring?
Looks like I overthought…
So this ring is important to her?
But if the Great Empress wanted to take back this ring, why wouldn’t she say so earlier?
Given your strength, I’d definitely return it if you wanted to take back this bronze ring.
Why must you pull me into this desolate chaotic space? I’m lacking a sense of security now!
Shen Tian looked toward the Great Empress in the sky timidly. He did not know what she was going to do to him, so he looked at her innocently.
…
Time passed by minutes and seconds.
As Shen Tian looked at the Great Empress pitifully, she gently rubbed the bronze ring with her hands.
Meanwhile, Shen Tian still felt as if he was being stared at, so it made him extremely uncomfortable.
Suddenly, this space started shaking.
Shen Tian could see that a door was slowly created in mid-air. It was shining brightly and looked like it was connected to another space.
Someone seemed to be smashing at the other side of the door, forcibly shaking it.
It looked as if the person at the other side would break through the door anytime soon.
The chaotic aura enshrouding the Great Empress swayed gently as she turned to look at that door.
Rumble!
The door was suddenly smashed open, and a purple figure charged in excitedly.
“Give me back Shen Tian, or else I’ll—”
Before Shen Tian could even see that figure clearly, the Great Empress had already slowly lifted her hand elegantly.
Smack!
The purple figure was slapped out 10 times faster than it had entered. Then the resplendent door was shut tightly and instantly turned into dust.
The Great Empress turned back and sighed.
Afterward, Shen Tian noticed that the space he was in was collapsing quickly, and his body was also disappearing.
At the last moment, before he lost consciousness, he could vaguely see a silver heavenly light shooting toward him.
In the instant that the heavenly light entered Shen Tian’s body, he completely fainted.
…
After some time, Shen Tian slowly opened his eyes.
The first thing he saw was an old man grinning frivolously, his face filled with curiosity.
The old man looked at Shen Tian playfully.
“Tian’er, you’ve finally woken up. Did that existence tell you anything? Did she find you handsome and tell you to ride on her coattails after ascending? Sigh… There’s no choice. We’re just too handsome.”
Shen Tian’s mouth twitched. He definitely wouldn’t tell this old thing that the Great Empress had been more interested in that ring than him!
Sigh… It’s a pity that she took back the bronze ring with the extraordinary background.
Just as Shen Tian was feeling upset, he was suddenly stunned.
That’s because he discovered that the bronze ring was on his ring finger.
Eh? Wasn’t this ring taken away?
Why is it still on my hand?
…
Shen Tian was completely at a loss when he suddenly realized that a ball of light had also appeared in his mind.
He tried touching that ball of light, and a mysterious cultivation technique instantly surged toward him like a tsunami.
It was a cultivation technique that astounded Shen Tian!
Chaotic Tinder Sutra!?
