Chapter 48 Taking Control of the Void Heaven Palace
The teleportation distance of the "Minor Teleportation Talisman" is greatly reduced in a place like the Void Heaven Palace, where the space is stable and the structure is complex. Wang Tianlong only felt a blur before his eyes and was thrown out for only a few dozen miles, landing in an abandoned corridor that was even more remote and had little spiritual energy.
"puff!"
The moment he appeared, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. The chilling demonic energy emanating from the wound on his left shoulder was like a bone-deep ailment, frantically eroding his meridians and flesh, causing excruciating pain. Even more serious was the tearing sensation in his meridians caused by forcibly activating "Lightning Speed," and the weakness of his mana being almost completely depleted.
However, he didn't even have a moment to adjust his breathing!
The instant he landed, his powerful spiritual senses issued a frantic warning—several powerful and murderous auras were rapidly closing in from behind and the sides! The closest one was none other than the ancient demon Hei Ming's cold and sinister demonic energy, less than three miles away! Another raging wind and thunder demonic aura (winged tiger demon) and a swift demonic wind (lizard demon) followed closely behind. The aura of the Tian Sha cultivator was slightly further away, but it was also rapidly approaching!
Clearly, his hastily activated "Minor Teleportation Talisman" and "Phantom Talisman" only delayed him for a moment. The pursuers quickly pinpointed his approximate location based on spatial fluctuations and residual aura!
"Cough cough... It's like a persistent ghost!"
A fierce glint flashed in Wang Tianlong's eyes. Ignoring his injuries, he bit his tongue hard, using the intense pain to force himself to stay alert, and squeezed out the last few strands of magic power in his dantian. Without hesitation, he activated the Sky-Stepping Boots once more!
This time, he didn't choose to run straight away, nor did he use the explosive escape technique that put a huge strain on him. His figure swayed, and his aura became even weaker and more elusive. Like a severely wounded and dying bird, he flew desperately towards the depths of the corridor, towards an area where the spiritual energy was more chaotic, there were more forks in the road, and his divine sense was more suppressed, clinging to the cold floor and walls of the corridor!
As he fled, he frantically activated the most advanced concealment technique in the "Wind-Treading Technique," attempting to minimize his life force and spiritual energy fluctuations, blending into the deathly silence around him. At the same time, he unhesitatingly stuffed the last few rare pills that could quickly replenish his mana into his mouth, swallowing them whole and forcibly refining them, disregarding the potential for pill poisoning.
"There he is! He's badly injured; he's slowed down!"
From behind came the excited and cruel roar of the winged tiger demon, and the sound of the wind and thunder wings flapping became even clearer.
Junior, hand over the Heavenly Void Jade Book, and I might spare your Nascent Soul stage to escape!
The ancient demon Hei Ming's sinister voice, like a leech, pierced through the void and resounded in Wang Tianlong's ears, carrying a demonic sound that disturbed his mind. A chilling demonic consciousness, like a venomous snake, locked onto his staggering back.
Wang Tianlong ignored everything and just kept running forward. He felt his vision blurring, and the blood flowing from the wound on his left shoulder had turned a strange purplish-black. Demonic energy was seeping into his heart along his meridians. The sound of something tearing through the air behind him grew closer and closer. He could even smell the stench from the winged tiger demon's mouth and the nauseating, sinister aura of the ancient demon.
"Could it be... that I'm really going to fail here?"
An uncontrollable thought of despair arose within him. He gripped the half-page of the newly acquired Heavenly Void Jade Book in his sleeve, which he had not yet had time to examine closely, and touched the page he had obtained earlier in his bosom, a strong sense of resentment welling up in his heart.
Just as he was about to be simultaneously overwhelmed by three attacks from behind (the Black Nether's demonic claws, the Winged Tiger Demon's wind blades, and the Lizard Demon's venom), in a desperate situation with no way to escape—
He rushed into the corridor in a panic, only to find a wall covered with mottled ancient runes in front of him!
"Haha! Dead end! Where do you think you're going to run now!"
The winged tiger demon laughed wildly.
"Take him down!"
Darkness's eyes blazed with demonic light, and his demonic claws moved an even faster pace!
However, the instant Wang Tianlong's body touched that wall, or rather, the moment it touched that faint spatial ripple—
A sudden change has occurred!
Just as Wang Tianlong was about to crash into the rune wall, his life hanging by a thread—
Om-! ! !
An indescribable, boundless, and seemingly originating power from the very source of the entire Void Heaven Palace descended without warning!
At this moment, no matter where they were in the Void Heaven Palace, whether they were Nascent Soul cultivators fiercely vying for treasures, or Nascent Soul cultivators carefully breaking through the restrictions, or those hiding in a corner healing and cultivating in seclusion, they all felt the space around them suddenly freeze! An irresistible, gentle yet undeniable force of repulsion surged in from all directions like a tide, firmly "fixing" them in place!
Time seemed to stand still for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, the figures of all the cultivators began to blur and become transparent, as if they were being slowly "wiped away" from this space by an invisible hand!
"What's going on?!"
"Spatial power?! Someone is controlling the hall?!"
"No! My treasure!"
"We're about to be teleported out!"
Cries of shock, anger, resentment, and horror echoed throughout the Void Heaven Palace, but all to no avail. The next moment, flashes of light appeared, and all intruders, regardless of their cultivation level or what they were doing, were enveloped by this unparalleled spatial power and vanished without a trace!
The Void Heaven Palace has been cleared!
Almost simultaneously, in the Chaotic Star Sea, on the outer edge of the Heavenly Wind Sea, above the sea area near the original entrance of the Void Heaven Palace.
Streaks of spiritual light appeared out of thin air like dumplings being dropped into a pot, transforming into figures of cultivators with disordered auras, bewildered expressions, some wounded, others clutching newly acquired treasures they hadn't even had time to warm up. These were all the people who had been forcibly teleported out! They were randomly scattered across the sea area spanning thousands of miles, and in an instant, exclamations of surprise, curses, and wary stares rose and fell.
Xinggong Lingyunchen, Kunwu Xuanqingzi, the Flood Dragon Clan Chief, Ice Soul Fairy (she was also teleported out, but her expression was calm), Black Horn King, Azure Scale Lord, Treasure-Seeking Rat, cultivators from the Heavenly Sand Continent, Winged Tiger Demon, Lizard Demon, Ancient Demon Black Nether (his face was extremely gloomy), and Wang Tianlong, who had narrowly escaped death and was now clutching his demonic wound on his shoulder, his aura weak... Every single cultivator who had entered the Void Heaven Palace was teleported out of the Void Heaven Palace!
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes reflecting shock and confusion. The once stable portal at the entrance to the Void Heaven Palace had now completely closed and vanished, leaving only faint ripples of spiritual energy above the sea, as if nothing had ever happened.
And at the very heart of that once magnificent and silent Void Heaven Palace, now deserted and empty—the Star Gazing Platform.
The figure of the Ice Soul Fairy (or rather, one of her avatars) was quietly suspended before the radiant "Void Heaven Palace Core." Her true form had obviously been teleported away with the others to avoid suspicion.
But at this moment, her clone's face was filled with uncontrollable excitement and ecstasy! She slowly raised her hand and gently stroked the transparent crystal core that had established a faint connection with her divine consciousness and was extremely docile.
"Success... I have finally... achieved the initial refinement of the 'Void Heaven Palace Core'!"
She murmured to herself, her voice trembling, "Although it's only the most basic control, only allowing me to use the most basic 'repulsion' and 'closure' permissions, this ancient powerful being's palace... for now, belongs to me!"
The immense power that swept through the entire Void Heaven Palace and forcibly teleported everyone away was the most basic authority she used after initially taking control of the central hub—clearing the area!
