Using tens of thousands of lives as an offering to forcefully detonate the entire heavenly ball, the power it emitted was terrifying to the extreme, not to mention that it was the Crescent Heavenly Ball that was detonated.
The Crescent Moon Sphere was completely different from other heavenly spheres. Around this sphere, there was a vast and boundless "Demonic Divine Realm". The "Demonic Ghost Divine Domain" originated from the Demonic Ghost G.o.d Clan that occupied the Crescent Moon Heavenly Sphere. Once the heavenly ball was ignited, the "Demonic Ghost Divine Domain" would be affected as well.
The heavenly ball that was ignited was like a ball of blazing fire, while the surrounding Demonic Sound Divine Realm was like a large pile of dry firewood. When the raging fire touched the dry firewood, it would immediately ignite. As a result, after the heavenly ball exploded, the entire Ghost Domain started to boil, and that only increased the power that the heavenly ball gave rise to.
In the vast area around the Fairy Realm, the raging storm had been completely swept away. The heavenly b.a.l.l.s that were near the Fairy Realm had also received a huge impact, and though they weren"t injured, they were forcibly pushed far away.
"What happened over there?"
Inside the White Deer Heavenly Ball, Su Ye and Jiang Han had no choice but to return to their residence on the top floor. Feeling the movements of the outside world, their faces were filled with unconcealable shock.
This white deer heavenly ball was extremely close to the "Demonic Ghost Divine Domain", so the impact it received was naturally extremely fierce.
At this moment, the heavenly ball was being pushed back by the terrifying power that originated from the "Demonic Sound Divine Domain". It was also because of this that the two of them had no choice but to return to watch over the interior of the Sky Ball. The enormous change in the outside world had already caused the hearts of the people within the heavenly ball to be in panic.
"This change definitely has something to do with that senior!"
Jiang Han could not help but mutter under her breath. Her gaze instantly turned distant, as if she had pa.s.sed through the heavenly ball and extended into the depths of that dark area.
"That"s right."
Su Ye nodded subconsciously, "However, with how much activity there is, even an ordinary Sky Sovereign would probably disappear into thin air." Speaking to this point, Su Ye couldn"t help but look at the thin piece of jade in her palm. That Mind Stigma still hadn"t disappeared, which made him feel a lot more at ease.
Jiang Han let out a light breath, smiled, and said, "That senior is a Peak Superior Heavenly Sovereign, how could he be so easily met with an accident? Just you wait, he will definitely return safely."
"I hope so."
"..."
In the boundless void, a small tempest would occasionally whistle past. Under the sweeping winds of these tempest, a fiery-red cauldron could be seen drifting aimlessly.
As time pa.s.sed, the tempest around them grew fewer and fewer, and the speed at which the cauldron was moving became slower and slower.
After an unknown amount of time, the cauldron finally completely stopped moving. In the vast s.p.a.ce around them, there was no longer the whistling of the wind nor the silhouette of any living beings …
This area had fallen into a deathly silence, as if time and s.p.a.ce had frozen and were eternally still.
The cauldron just floated there in the air, unmoving.
This cauldron, was precisely the "Nine Yang Divine Furnace".
His clothes had long been turned to powder and his exposed body had been covered with countless big and small cracks. However, the crystal clear l.u.s.ter on the surface of his body was no longer there, and the color was rather dim.
Lying on the left and right of Tang Huan were the "Primal Chaos Origin Crystals" and the "Myriad Sword Heavenly Diagram".
These two treasures were similarly dim.
One year, two years …
Time quickly pa.s.sed by, the Origin Crystals and scrolls did not have the slightest change, but Tang Huan"s body seemed to gradually be suffused with a layer of faint l.u.s.ter.
After a very long time, Tang Huan"s body had become even more crystal clear and smooth, like jade, as if it was carved out of a gem.
"Hmm …"
Suddenly, Tang Huan"s brows twitched, a light moan flowed out from his throat, as if he had unconsciously made this sound while sleeping.
After a long while, Tang Huan seemed to have finally woken up from his deep slumber. His eyelids first twitched a few times, then suddenly opened up, revealing two eyes.
"I"ve finally woken up. I wonder how long I slept in this cauldron?"
Tang Huan suddenly flipped over and at the same time, swept his gaze across them. He found himself within the "Nine Yang Divine Furnace", and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
In that moment, with a thought, a new set of black robes appeared in Tang Huan"s hand and wrapped around his body.
"His injuries are quite severe this time!"
Tang Huan secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly checked his own condition. The flesh body"s injuries had been completely healed, and all of the internal organs in his body had been reborn, while the cracks that had originally been exposed on the Dantian Dao"s Nascent Soul was now completely healed.
The healing ability of the Primal Chaos Immortal Body that Tang Huan possessed far surpa.s.sed that of the "Celestial Body of the Sun" from before.
However, the injuries of a Dao Nascent Soul were not immediately healed. It was even more so for a severely injured soul.
Tang Huan knew that he must have been lying in the cauldron for a very long time.
On the one hand, the "Primal Chaos Source Crystal" and the "Illusory Sword Heavenly Palace" had also suffered quite a bit of damage in order to help Tang Huan bear the impact of the attack.
Within it, the mind sculpture inside the "Primal Chaos Source Crystal" had countless densely packed cracks on it. It was as if with a light tap, it would turn into dust and it would take a lot of time and energy to repair it.
It was already very difficult to operate the Limitless Sword Formation, and the sword heart"s injury was not light. Although it was not as pierced as it was when he first obtained the cave abode, it would still take a very long time and a huge amount of energy to make it back to its previous state.
The only one safe and sound was probably this "Nine Yang Divine Furnace."
"As expected of a magical equipment!"
Tang Huan couldn"t help but smile as his heart was filled with emotion.
After cultivating for so many years, this was the first time Tang Huan suffered such a heavy injury. The explosion of the heavenly ball caused the entire "Demonic G.o.d Domain" to shake violently. Let alone the peak Upper Level Empyreans like Gu Daozi and Yuan Chao, even Hannya and the other demiG.o.ds would be smashed to smithereens in the center of the explosion.
And only Tang Huan, with his strong body and numerous treasures, was able to survive.
That Silent Flame G.o.d Clan Lord, was indeed a vicious and merciless person. In order to get rid of his opponent, he did not hesitate to use the lives of millions of other people as a bargaining chip.
However, after this incident, Tang Huan vaguely understood what was going on.
Those countless jellyfishes, they were said to be members of the Wraith G.o.d Clan, but to put it bluntly, their enbodiment was almost no different from Nether Flame"s. As the Nether Flame of the Lord, it could easily control their life and death.
If Tang Huan had guessed it right, those Rankers from the Demonic Sound Clan could very well have been separated out from their bodies by means of some sort of Spirit Flame.
A normal ghost G.o.d clan member would be split out from the bodies of those Empyreans and Empyreans … It kept splitting apart until it eventually formed an extremely large race. Originally, there was not much difference between the control of the human cultivators inside the heavenly ball and the control of the Netherworld Flame. If necessary, the Netherworld Flame could take over the control of the human cultivators from the hands of the tribe members.
It was also because of this that when the heavenly ball exploded, the ghost clan members and the human cultivators inside suffered the same fate.
Thinking about it, Tang Huan could not help but look sad.
Even though he did not kill the human cultivators inside the Crescent Moon Sky Ball, their deaths were still deeply related to Tang Huan. If he had not forced the Netherworld Flame to such a state, the Netherworld Flame probably would not have been so cruel and detonated the nest that he had been managing for so many years.
If Tang Huan had not prepared well in advance, he would not have lost that many people when he detonated the heavenly ball using his [Serene Flames].
However, at this point, it was already too late to say anything.
Now that he had recovered, the next thing he needed to do was to find the Netherworld Flame and exterminate it. However, Tang Huan was not in a hurry to do it.
"Senior."
Seeing Tang Huan"s figure that suddenly appeared, Xu Hong immediately bowed and greeted, her eyebrows revealing a pleasant surprise.
Previously, when he was struck by that terrifying force, the s.p.a.ce inside the cave was like the scene of the apocalypse. It seemed as if it could collapse at any time, scaring the Void Rainbow to the point of choking. Fortunately, the commotion did not continue and the cave s.p.a.ce did not collapse.
Although the s.p.a.ce within the cave wasn"t as s.p.a.cious as it was in the past, it was still fairly stable.
The only thing that the Void Rainbow was worried about was that something bad had already happened to Tang Huan outside. If it was really like this, then he really might be trapped in this cave residence forever, unable to escape. Even if he could forcefully break through the spatial barrier of this immortal cave, he didn"t know how much energy he would have to expend.
Fortunately, Tang Huan had appeared safe and sound, so he was able to completely relax.
Tang Huan only nodded slightly before his figure disappeared from the Supreme Profound Hall. When he reappeared, he had already arrived inside a mountain valley within the dwelling. In the depths of the valley, there was a beautifully decorated wooden house. At this moment, Ji Ru Huan was quietly lying on her bed.
Her complexion had improved greatly, and she was no different from an ordinary person. She looked as if she was sleeping.
In between Tang Huan"s mind instructs (in a second), his mind had already covered Ji Ruyan"s entire body, as he carefully probed about. After a while, Tang Huan"s face revealed a happy smile. Although her mother, Ji Ru Huan, hadn"t woken up yet, the progress of her soul self-recovery had been quite smooth.
It was likely that her soul would be completely restored after a period of time. At that time, awakening would be a matter of course.
"Jianxin!"
Tang Huan quietly left the hut.
Jianxin"s figure suddenly appeared and he slightly bowed. "Master, what instructions do you have for me?" A tiredness that couldn"t be dispelled seemed to envelop between the brows of Jianxin.
Tang Huan muttered to himself, "Do you know how much time has pa.s.sed?"
"Almost eight years." In the past, Jianxin did not have much understanding of time, but now, he was more concerned with it.
"Eight years …"
Tang Huan sighed lightly, and said somewhat guiltily: "Jianxin, it has been hard on you during this period of time. Don"t worry, I will quickly provide you with sufficient strength to restore your cave to your original state." In the past eight years, Jianxin had not only maintained the cave, but he also had to look after Ji Ru Huan. It was truly difficult.
"This is what I should do." Jianxin said expressionlessly.
"..."
After a while, Tang Huan returned to the cauldron and with a thought, the "Primal Chaos Source Crystal" and the "Myriad Sword Heavenly Diagram" were kept. Soon after, Tang Huan rose into the air and rushed out of the cauldron.
"What the h.e.l.l is this place?"
Floating in the air, Tang Huan frowned slightly. Before this, he had been observing himself and those few treasures, and hadn"t paid too much attention to the situation in the outside world. After leaving the cauldron, Tang Huan suddenly realized that this area was rather odd. Time and s.p.a.ce seemed to have frozen in here.
This was like a land of death. Even if a trillion years pa.s.sed, nothing would happen.
With a slight thought, Tang Huan"s state of mind crazily swept in all directions. In the blink of an eye, it had already enveloped a radius of five million kilometers. However, even if he had reached the edge of the sensing range, Tang Huan still sensed a deathtrap nearby.
In such a wide range of perception, aside from Tang Huan himself, there was actually no sign of life, nor was there the slightest sound.
This place was extremely strange.
Tang Huan was completely unable to judge the direction based on the results of his senses, because he did not sense anything here that could be used to determine the direction. Fortunately, Tang Huan had made preparations before entering the "Demonic Divine Domain". He left a Mind Stigma at Su Ye"s place on the White Deer Heavenly Sphere.
As long as he followed the Mind Stigma"s directions, leaving this place of execution should not be difficult.
Tang Huan calmed his heart and concentrated, sensing carefully. But in the next moment, Tang Huan frowned once again, some astonishment flas.h.i.+ng through his eyes. The connection between him and the Mind Stigma had actually been completely severed. It was as if he was currently in a completely sealed off s.p.a.ce.
Just a moment ago, he had placed his hopes on the Mind Stigma, but from the looks of it, the Mind Stigma was already useless.
What was the reason?
Tang Huan"s mind raced, and in the next moment, he could not help but feel his heart thump.
He finally understood why this region was in such a state. If he guessed correctly, this place should be a place without the existence of the Heavenly Dao. To sense the location of Mind Stigma, one would need to borrow the power of the Heavenly Dao. Since the Heavenly Dao did not exist, it was naturally impossible to succeed.
There was actually such a strange thing in this world.
I wonder if this place still belongs to that crevice s.p.a.ce? If it did not belong to him, where would it be? However, if it did belong to him, what position would it be in the crack s.p.a.ce? All of these thoughts appeared in Tang Huan"s mind like a lantern, after a short while, Tang Huan took a deep breath, and his mind quickly calmed down.
