The white-robed priestess softly exhaled and quickly regained her composure. Her body began to exude a graceful and hallowed aura.
As a light breeze blew in, the priestess tied the white scarf around her eyes and walked out. As she extended a hand, various divine symbols began to appear in her palm, a.s.sembling into a formation. Just like before, the formation activated, sealing up this place.
Buzz!
In a series of ripples, the dimension in which Mount Yaluo was located began to slowly disappear like two curtains were being slowly drawn over it.
Whoos.h.!.+
But just when this dimension was about to close, there was a gust of wind, and two figures silently appeared at the priestess’s side.
Buzz!
Everything froze, and that faint smile on the priestess’s face went stiff.
“Who are you?” the priestess gravely said to these two newcomers.
She had already noticed these two, and w.a.n.g Chong had not actually tried too hard to hide his tracks at the time. But back then, the priestess had not paid them too much regard, taking them as peerless experts of some tribe.
No matter how strong ants were, they were still ants, and for a G.o.d, there was no difference, all of them equally insignificant. But at this moment, the priestess realized that she had underestimated them, that these were no ordinary experts.
Moreover, her master’s oracle had only mentioned Essence Supreme’s group, not these people. But right after Essence Supreme had gone, these two people had appeared. This meant that they had been in hiding nearby this entire time. This alone was not something that mortal experts were capable of.
The priestess became extremely wary. Her master’s oracles had never been wrong. These people were far too bizarre.
“Hmph, just a puny priestess! I don’t need to tell you anything.”
Li Xuantu coldly snorted and grabbed the priestess, planning to extract the information on Essence Supreme and Luo Supreme from her mind.
Priests were simply slaves. Li Xuantu had once been the Crown Prince of the Great Tang and had a revered status, so he naturally wouldn’t bring himself to care about some priestess.
But at this moment, w.a.n.g Chong extended a hand and stopped Li Xuantu. “Wait!”
w.a.n.g Chong carefully examined the priestess as he asked, “You are An Lushan’s birth mother?”
For Li Xuantu, this woman was just a bystander, but this was not the case for w.a.n.g Chong.
In his last life, there had been rumors regarding the relations.h.i.+p between An Lushan and the Turkic War G.o.d. At least half of them had originated from An Lushan himself. In the past, the Turkic War G.o.d was just some vague concept, a legend, and he naturally wouldn’t have taken it seriously. But when he discovered that the Turkic War G.o.d from several thousand years ago actually was a real person and was Luo Supreme of the Celestial G.o.d Organization, w.a.n.g Chong had an entirely different att.i.tude.
If it was all true, then things were far more complicated than they seemed.
The mention of ‘An Lushan’ caused the priestess’s composure to fall apart, and she began to tremble.
“How did you know…?” the priestess instinctively asked, but midway, she realized something. As she looked at this youth that was clearly from the Central Plains, she had a sudden insight.
“You’re that Child of Destruction!”
w.a.n.g Chong smiled, not denying it.
Luo Supreme had been part of the Celestial G.o.d Organization, so it wasn’t surprising that she learned about the Child of Destruction from Luo Supreme. Moreover, based on her reaction, it seemed that the rumor that An Lushan was the son of the Turkic War G.o.d was true.
w.a.n.g Chong nodded. Meanwhile, the priestess’s mind fell into turmoil.
A ‘Child of Destruction’ actually didn’t signify anything to her. What truly left the priestess shocked was that if this person was the Child of Destruction, then he was also the person who her son, An Lushan, had fought with for a lifetime and had ultimately died to.
The priestess’s face flickered, and for a moment, an intense killing intent welled up in her heart.
But the priestess was no match for him. Just as Li Xuantu believed, priests were just the slaves of G.o.ds and had no ability to fight. Even though she knew w.a.n.g Chong’s ident.i.ty, she could not do anything.
“So you were the mother of that source of disaster!”
Li Xuantu narrowed his eyes and clamped his hand around the priestess’s neck, raising her into the air.
Li Xuantu had not known about the connection between An Lushan and this priestess. Though it had been a long time since he had partic.i.p.ated in government affairs, he was still part of the House of Li. This woman had given birth to An Lushan, who had brought chaos to the Central Plains. This alone was enough to have her killed one hundred times.
But there was no fear in the priestess’s eyes as she was raised into the air by Li Xuantu.
“It shouldn’t be. Yaluoshan was the Child of Heaven’s will, the child of a G.o.d. He was destined to unite the world. It shouldn’t have been like this,” she muttered to herself, but her eyes quickly turned to w.a.n.g Chong.
“It seems that you truly are the Child of Destruction. This world will be destroyed at your hands!”
“Put her down,” w.a.n.g Chong said. He could tell that this priestess was just an ordinary person with no special abilities.
w.a.n.g Chong wouldn’t just kill her because she had given birth to An Lushan. After all, it was no sin to give birth to a child.
Bang!
As they were speaking, a rumbling could be heard. w.a.n.g Chong came to his senses and realized that the underground formation had completely activated, drawing the curtains on the dimension and sealing the entire region.
The priestess held in the air by Li Xuantu also came to her senses.
“You’ve come for my master, but I won’t let you succeed. None of you will be leaving here today!” the priestess announced, a look of stubborn determination on her face.
She had long ago offered her entire life to this greatest G.o.d of the Turks. While An Lushan was important, nothing could compare to that Turkic G.o.d hidden in the depths of s.p.a.cetime.
She had already prepared herself for death.
“There’s no need to go through so much trouble. I just need to see a little of what you saw!”
w.a.n.g Chong smiled and placed a finger on the priestess’s forehead.
Bang!
The scene of Essence Supreme appearing in the hall and using the compa.s.s to find the entrance appeared in w.a.n.g Chong’s eyes.
A sky of silver thread engulfed the heavens, and in this silver net, there was one region that stood out.
That’s the place!
w.a.n.g Chong’s eyes gleamed. From a distance, he had already sensed that some things were not real, and with the memories of the priestess and her point of view, he was able to fill in that gap in knowledge and find out what was really going on.
At w.a.n.g Chong’s level of cultivation, one did not need a drop of divine blood or magical compa.s.s to find a dimension. With his own understanding of s.p.a.ce and some key information, he could also find that entrance to the divine kingdom.
He was enjoying the benefits from the hard work of those who came before. With Essence Supreme having already opened the way once, it would be much easier to go in again.
“Let’s go!”
Ignoring the priestess, w.a.n.g Chong grabbed Li Xuantu and shot toward the air, vanis.h.i.+ng into s.p.a.ce.
This wasn’t w.a.n.g Chong’s first time traveling through dimensions and entering a pa.s.sage. He could sense that countless other dimensions were flowing past him.
Not only that, as he pa.s.sed through this secret s.p.a.cetime pa.s.sage, he could even sense that the surroundings had been covered with many formations and seals.
It seemed that the rebellious Luo Supreme had been ready for any intruders.
But a significant number of seals and formations had been broken—clearly the work of Essence Supreme’s group.
Bang!
As these thoughts pa.s.sed through his mind, w.a.n.g Chong released a dark golden Halo of s.p.a.cetime to protect him.
Once he had done this, w.a.n.g Chong accelerated, locking onto that energy within the depths of s.p.a.cetime.
From a distance, one would be able to see just how twisting and complicated this pa.s.sage was. It required leaping through numerous other dimensions, and the final destination was a vast distance away from Mount Yaluo. From a certain perspective, it could be considered to be in another universe entirely.
This Luo Supreme truly is cautious! w.a.n.g Chong commented as he pa.s.sed through the tunnel.
It was rare for someone of Luo Supreme’s power to hide their dimension in such a complicated fas.h.i.+on. In contrast, Origin Supreme, though he also feared the Celestial G.o.d Organization, had simply hidden his dimension beneath the Hyderabad Mountains, albeit in a way that was extremely difficult to detect. Meanwhile, Luo Supreme had made the pa.s.sage leap through countless dimensions.
His goal with this design was clearly to guard against the Celestial G.o.d Organization so that he would not be so easily found.
But none of this could stop w.a.n.g Chong. He could sense that Luo Supreme’s dimension was getting closer and closer.
“Careful!” Li Xuantu suddenly called out, his voice wary. “There’s something strange up ahead!”
Bang!
w.a.n.g Chong raised his head, but before he could react, a golden bolt of lightning blasted out at him.
As w.a.n.g Chong and Li Xuantu stared in shock, some formation in the pa.s.sage seemed to activate, and countless bolts of lightning engulfed the surrounding region of several hundred li, golden thunderclouds flooding the area. The lightning bolts flew through the clouds like roaring dragons, each of them infused with destructive power.
