1391 A Treasure Brought by a Tempes (1/2)

Tang Xiu expressed grave concern on his face and immediately appeared beside Old Sycamore. He fed him a Purple Scent Pill and asked, ”Are you all right, Old Sycamore?”

Old Sycamore smiled wryly and said, ”I've reached the Supremacy Stage too late in life and ended up getting severely injured in the end. The force behind the detonation of a Perfected Golden Immortal's immortal soul really isn't something to look down on!”

Tang Xiu nodded solemnly and said, ”You're right about that. Even Supremes can suffer grievous injuries from the detonation of a Perfected Golden Immortal's immortal soul if they are caught off-guard. However, we can consider it a glorious victory since we were able to eliminate all the enemies with this battle.”

Old Sycamore asked, ”Master, there's something I'm perplexed about.”

Tang Xiu smiled faintly and said, ”You're wondering about the moment when all of them had suddenly become absent-minded for an instant when we attacked them, right?”

Old Sycamore chuckled and said, ”Indeed. If it weren't for us taking the upper hand in the beginning, it would have been quite a challenge to eliminate all of them.”

Tang Xiu smiled faintly and said, ”A divine power of mine can confuse the opponent's mind and trap them in an illusion when caught off-guard, and that's also the optimal moment to kill them.”

Old Sycamore suddenly came to a realization, and the others also revealed shocked expressions. Although they had faintly guessed that the reason the enemies had become absent-minded had something to do with Tang Xiu, the shock they felt in their hearts after hearing it directly from his mouth was no lesser.

Tang Xiu examined everyone and handed Purple Scent Pills to them. Then, he said in a deep voice, ”Eagle, you will accompany me hereafter while the others will recuperate in the Heavenly Abode. You don't have much time, so you must focus on recovering as soon as possible because we never know what kind of danger we might face later on. You will only be able to face those dangers properly if you have recovered to the peak of your strength.”

”Understood!”

Old Sycamore and the others acknowledged before entering the Heavenly Abode.

Tang Xiu looked at Eagle and said, ”We also need to look for a place to recuperate. We will leave this place after we have recovered from some of our injuries.”

Eagle said, ”I'm not that familiar with the 7th layer, but I do know a place in the 8th layer that place should be safe for us. However, we won't have an easy time making it to that safe zone.”

Tang Xiu pondered for a moment and said, ”We can't go to the 8th layer, then. The entrance to the 8th layer is still quite far away, and we will need to pass through several danger zones to reach it. It wouldn't be easy for us to rush over there with how severe our injuries are! Let's do this, then! We shall clear up some of the demon beasts in one of the mountains of Blackstone Cliff and create a safe zone there. I'll also reinforce the place with a formation, so we should be able to recuperate there safely.”

After much difficulty, Tang Xiu and Eagle successfully recovered from their injuries two months later and hastened with their journey once again. They encountered one crisis after another and went through several life-threatening situations before finally arriving at the entrance to the 8th layer. After the two of them entered the 8th layer, they were ambushed by enemies, monster beasts, and demon beasts several times during their journey. A spatial crack's turbulence had almost pulled them inside on one occasion too.

”Master, the entrance to the 9th layer is a million kilometers away. We must…” Before Eagle could finish speaking, his expression turned unsightly as he stared ahead fixedly. He directly grabbed Tang Xiu's arm to stop him after that.

Tang Xiu frowned and asked, ”What is it?”

Eagle said, ”Looks like our fortune is quite not good since we have run into the Nefas Tempest.

Tang Xiu inquired. ”What's this Nefas Tempest?”

Eagle explained, ”Those who haven't lived in Nefas Abyss for long are unaware of the Nefas Tempest's existence. It's a very terrifying natural calamity of Nefas Abyss, and it's highly likely that even Perfected Golden Immortals will die if they get trapped inside it. It's known as the Tempest of Doom in Nefas Abyss, and everyone avoids it as soon as they see it.”

Tang Xiu came to a realization, and after a short moment of silence, he said, ”Since that's the case, let's just avoid it then!”

Eagle forced a smile. ”It's too late. We can't avoid this Nefas Tempest with our current strength. Unless we break through to the Supremacy Stage, it will be difficult for us to fully avoid it. However, we can escape the danger range of the tempest's eye, so let's leave quickly!”

”Let's ask Old Sycamore to take us away, then.”

Tang Xiu called Old Sycamore out from the Heavenly Abode and explained the circumstances to him swiftly. After that, the two of them fled towards the distance quickly along with Old Sycamore.

A quarter-hour later, a bitter smile rose up on Old Sycamore's face as he stated helplessly, ”This Nefas Tempest is too fast. Although I'm a Supreme, it's difficult for even me to avoid it completely. We need to prepare to face the winds of the tempest and hope that we can preserve our lives.”

After a short period, the lingering winds of the Nefas Tempest enveloped the three men. Although the force behind the lingering winds was quite powerful, as Old Sycamore was a Supreme, he was able to safeguard Tang Xiu and Eagle adequately.

”What's that?” Tang Xiu questioned after his gaze penetrated through the helical windstorm of the tempest and saw a mountain-like shadow within its depths.

Eagle explained, ”According to the legends, although Nefas Tempest is a terrifying calamity, it holds a huge treasure within it. However, even though a lot of Supremes tried to obtain it, they found it difficult to obtain the treasure within the tempest's abyss while being able to preserve their lives.”

Tang Xiu took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, ”Old Sycamore, do you have the courage to venture into the eye of the tempest along with me?”
