”We're already enemies, so why wouldn't I dare to steal your treasure? What you said is a joke, Tai Xuan!” Fang Yuan's spiritual will transmitted. The entire Thirty-Three-Level Outer Heaven Tower rumbled.
He was determined to obtain this Nine Void Banner.
Otherwise, if a few Grand Unity Immortals were to barge in under its protection next time, he might really have problem resisting.
Moreover, this immortal artifact contained the complete Illusion Realm's nomological laws and was just as precious as a primordial treasure. This was likely the only one in the entire Heavenly Circuit Immortal Sect.
”The passage appeared!”
”Go!”
The two Primordial Godfiends saw the passage, and their eyes flashed red for a split second.
The pain of being imprisoned for millions of years, the suppression of their desire to destroy, and the extraction of their natural source was the cruelest torture to them.
They gazed at the passage opened by Immortal Tai Xuan and immediately used up everything they had. Their scarred hands pulled at the edges of the space, expanding the passage.
The formation of the space passage was entirely due to the Nine Void Banner.
Them doing this naturally put considerable pressure on this top-grade immortal artifact.
I better release these two Godfiends. I have no means to continue suppressing them, but they can cause immense destruction inside this tower! Fang Yuan decided in a split second.
An enormous passage formed in space with the channeling of power from both the Grand Unity Immortal and Fang Yuan.
Immortal Tai Xuan's roar came from within it. ”No!”
It was a huge burden on the Nine Void Banner for the two giant Godfiends to enter it.
Adding on to Fang Yuan's continuous pull on it, finally…
Crack!
The very moment the passage contracted, the battered Nine Void Banner broke at its waist!
Smack!
Fang Yuan shut the passage entirely, leaving half of the Nine Void Banner within the Outer Heaven Tower.
”Suppress!”
A mere Nascent Soul cultivator could suppress any immortal artifact once it lost its master's control, even if it was top grade and contained the Illusion Realm's nomological laws. Fang Yuan simply used a tiny bit of power from the Outer Heaven Tower to completely suppress it.
”However, there were heavy losses this time. I might even get hurt if everything were to happen again…” Fang Yuan's Torch Dragon clone rubbed his lower chin. ”After all, those from cultivation Holy Lands aren't idiots and will gain experience from this wave. Their loss this time was a result of them not knowing the strength of the Outer Heaven Tower, but the next time will be extremely difficult…”
He decided that he would have to abandon the tower if another siege were to happen.
Putting his clone in danger for the sake of a primordial treasure was not worth the risk.
”If my hunch serves me right, those two Primordial Godfiends will cause a stir in the world… If this doesn't occur, I'll retreat immediately! My main body might seem stable in the Great Sage Immortal World, but it's in a Holy Land after all. I would immediately become passive if something were to happen. With another life safe outside, I'll have more freedom to act!”
He sat cross-legged and opened a light screen to the outside world.
…
Above the reeds.
The void broke open, and Tai Xuan's sorry figure appeared.
”Nine Void Banner?” He was expressionless as he gazed at the empty pole in his hand, obviously having calmed down entirely. ”Situ Zhaixing, good! Very good! You have become an eternal enemy of my Heavenly Circuit Immortal Sect! We'll hunt you down to the ends of the world!”
”Elder Tai Xuan?” Seeing this scene, the other Immortals had a bad premonition. ”Where are the other Immortals?”
”Start the Twelve Heavenly Scorching Array! You six, follow me quickly!”
Elder Tai Xuan put away the banner and left with the six Immortals of Heavenly Circuit Immortal Sect, without looking back. ”Spread the word. The demon disaster this time has erupted early because of Situ Zhaixing!”
”How is it possible for a Demonic Tribulation to happen ahead of time?”
The remaining Immortals stared with incredulous looks.
But the next moment, two terrifying Godfiends appeared in the sky.
”Finally… out!”
”I'm… back!”
The power of ice and fire spread, and the Immortals who could not escape fast enough turned into statues of the elements.
These two Primordial Godfiends roared toward the sky. The fury in their spiritual will traveled far and wide.
”Primordial Godfiends!” The Immortals of the Heavenly Circuit Immortal Sect quivered. ”They appeared before the Demonic Tribulation arrived. It's very likely for them to resonate with the otherworldly demons, bringing the disaster ahead of time!”
”The loss of Hui Ye and the others was my fault. After returning, I will apologize to the elders!” Immortal Tai Xuan said lightly. ”It's imperative to notify the sect master immediately!”
”Understood!” The rest of the Immortals bowed while thinking to themselves secretly.
