589: The terrifying Tianxu Kun, the stealing talisman

It was a colossal creature, suspected to be an ancient Void Heaven Kun, occupying most of the sky, suddenly appearing from the Void Realm and lunging to swallow the Cultivators.

"Oh my goodness, that's... the Void Heaven Kun!"

An Old Cultivator's face drastically changed. He couldn't believe such a terrifying creature still existed in this world.

The Void Heaven Kun was an ancient great beast, its fierce reputation no less than creatures like Qiongqi. This race of creatures found it extremely difficult to bear offspring, and it was rumored that at their Peak, the entire race numbered less than a hundred.

They were born in the Heaven and Earth Realm, were in the Rongtian Stage during their infancy, reached Heavenly Mandate in their youth, and Reaching Heaven Realm in adulthood.

Due to the difficulty in bearing offspring, this race typically had only four or five individuals per era in its later stages, and by the Great Chu Dynasty, it had become extinct.

The Void Heaven Kun, born in the Void Realm, was a darling of the Void Realm. It feared no Void Realm storm, and its speed was considered the king of all beasts. Even an infant Void Heaven Kun could easily leap ten thousand miles in a single bound.

Its strength was comparable to pure-blooded Royal Clan Demon Beasts of the same level.

"Eee~~~ Ahhhhh—"

The Void Heaven Kun let out an ancient chant, its mouth opening like a black hole, devouring all things. A terrifying suction pulled away all Cultivators who had stepped onto the Heavenly Ladder and the Golden Grand Dao.

They were swallowed by the Void Heaven Kun without even a scream.

The Cultivators still observing from behind broke into cold sweat, thankful they hadn't rashly approached like the unlucky few in front.

Everyone noticed that this Void Heaven Kun seemed unwilling to leave that area, as if it were guarding the Heavenly Palace complex.

It allowed no one to approach.

Even if this Void Heaven Kun was only in its infancy, let alone its youth, it was an invincible existence at its level. A single slap could kill a Human Race or Demon Beast of the same level.

However, with this Void Heaven Kun guarding the Heavenly Palace, no one could step into it.

They knew there must be countless Treasure Troves within the Heavenly Palace, and perhaps even relics of a Reaching Heaven Realm great power.

But they simply couldn't enter, left to stare helplessly.

This made everyone feel incredibly frustrated.

Just then.

A crimson rainbow streaked across the sky, stopping in the Void Realm above Shen Yuan Island. It was none other than the Tianhou Demon King and Kumu.

The Tianhou Demon King looked towards the Heavenly Palace complex amidst the clouds, sensing the aura of demon god's blood within it.

But when he saw the Void Heaven Kun beside the ancient palace complex, he frowned.

His current Law Body would find it quite tricky to deal with this Void Heaven Kun. If he were carelessly swallowed by it, there was a fifty percent chance he would perish.

Just as he was pondering how to break through the Void Heaven Kun's blockade.

Suddenly.

His gaze shifted into the distance.

A stream of light flew by, landing on the ground of Shen Yuan Island.

It was Chu Jiang Wang and Old Ten.

"Demon King, this person is Chu Jiang Wang from the Yan Luo Temple. His battle prowess is extremely strong, comparable to the Heavenly Mandate Realm," Kumu whispered from the side, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

"Oh?"

The Tianhou Demon King became interested. Kumu had already told him about Chu Jiang Wang's deeds. This person's battle prowess was good, and he could perhaps be used to pave the way into the Heavenly Palace.

"Little friend Chu, this ancient Heavenly Palace has a Void Heaven Kun guarding it, making it extremely difficult to enter. I have a method. How about we two join forces to explore the Treasure Trove?" the Tianhou Demon King said with a smile.

Chu Jiang Wang, however, looked at the Void Heaven Kun. Two thousand years ago, when the Yin and Yang Old Ancestor came here, this Kun was already at the Rongtian Stage.

Now it had advanced to Heavenly Mandate. If he were to force his way through, he would need to unleash his trump cards, release the Law Seed, and fully exert the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Sutra to potentially Breakthrough.

However, forcing his way was a last resort; he had other ways to cross.

"Little friend Chu..."

The Tianhou Demon King's expression turned ugly. If it weren't for his main body's severe drop in strength, and his painstakingly condensed Law Body being only at the second level of a Demon King, why would he humble himself before a Human Race blood meal?

"Speak!"

Chu Jiang Wang said indifferently.

Damn it.

The Tianhou Demon King's eyes darkened. It was as if a subordinate was reporting work to a superior. This bastard, once he got the demon god's blood, he would be the first to be devoured.

"I have a method called the Heaven Stabilizing Grand Array. With the Wind Stabilizing Pearl as the array core, it can temporarily hold the Void Heaven Kun for thirty breaths. However, it requires little friend Chu and everyone else to cooperate."

The Tianhou Demon King said.

The more disposable consumables, the better.

"Alright!"

Chu Jiang Wang's expression remained calm. He naturally understood that the Tianhou Demon King wouldn't be so kind; he was probably trying to trick him.

However, it was still uncertain who would trick whom in the end.

Old Man Miesheng: "Yes."

Nine Lives Mysterious Ji and the two Silver Moon Star Lords and others also agreed.

With that said.

Everyone began to cooperate with the Tianhou Demon King to set up the Heaven Stabilizing Grand Array.

Whoosh!

A spirit pearl pulsating with yellow Qi appeared in the center of the Heaven Stabilizing Grand Array.

"Heaven Stabilizing Grand Array, activate!"

The Tianhou Demon King roared.

Boom!

Heaven and earth changed drastically. The Heaven Stabilizing Grand Array erupted with divine light, radiating across a hundred thousand meters of Void Realm. The surrounding Void Realm seemed to freeze.

Even the Void Heaven Kun was held in place.

"Everyone, this King will go first!"

The Tianhou Demon King strode with the gait of a Dragon and a tiger, taking Kumu and disappearing in an instant, ascending the Golden Grand Dao and rushing frantically towards the Heavenly Palace.

"Hurry, there are only thirty breaths!"

Swish swish swish!

Everyone frantically rushed towards the Heavenly Palace, some climbing the Heavenly Ladder, some treading the Golden Grand Dao. If they didn't enter the ancient palace complex in the clouds after thirty breaths, and the Void Heaven Kun awakened, they would surely die.

However.

In just ten breaths.

The Void Heaven Kun moved, struggling to break free from the Heaven Stabilizing Grand Array's restraints. It seemed enraged; blue divine light faintly appeared on its body, gathering terrifying energy.

"Not good, the Void Heaven Kun is going to tear apart the Heaven Stabilizing Grand Array! Didn't they say it could hold for thirty breaths?"

"Damn it!"

Everyone faced a formidable enemy. Forget thirty breaths, it hadn't even been twenty.

Some of the slower individuals had only just reached the middle section.

Despair was already evident on their faces.

The Tianhou Demon King, flying at the very front, let out a cold laugh: "This King said thirty breaths, and you actually believed it?"

It was almost impossible to hold a creature like the Void Heaven Kun for thirty breaths.

A bunch of ants, they deserved to be his shield against disaster.

"But, where did that Human Race from the Yan Luo Temple go? Could he be even faster than this King?"

The Tianhou Demon King glanced back. The closest person behind him was Old Ten; Chu Jiang Wang was nowhere to be seen, as if he had evaporated into thin air.

Buzz!

A blue divine light pierced through the Void Realm, erupting from the Void Heaven Kun.

Pfft!

Several Cultivators instantly turned to dust. Whether they were in the Heaven and Earth Realm or the Rongtian Realm, they had no chance of resisting.

"Eee—yah!"

The Void Heaven Kun let out a chant. The second wave of attack, three divine lights, shot out in three different directions, piercing through the Void Realm.

One of them struck towards Nine Lives Mysterious Ji and the two Silver Moon Star Lords' group.

"Xuan Ji, run!"

The Silver Moon Star Lord blocked the fatal blow for Nine Lives Mysterious Ji, and everyone behind him perished, turning into a bloody mist.

"Silver Moon, damn it!"

Nine Lives Mysterious Ji cursed, but dared not linger. At this moment, only by ascending to the Heavenly Palace could she possibly escape the Void Heaven Kun's judgment.

As for Chu Jiang Wang, he was hidden in the Void Realm, fleeing towards the Heavenly Palace. Not a single divine light had landed on him.

This was naturally the "Phaseless Void" ability of the Formless Demon Subduing Body. He could transform his body into the Void Realm, merging with it. After the Formless Demon Subduing Body and the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Sutra fused into a pseudo-Tongtian state, this ability was greatly enhanced.

Whoosh!

A blue divine light suddenly crossed through layers of the Void Realm, striking towards Old Ten.

However.

The expected scene of Old Ten perishing did not occur.

A gilded Talisman was quietly crushed.

The blue divine light that was originally attacking Old Ten was transferred to the Tianhou Demon King.

"Ah—"

The Tianhou Demon King, who was only a hundred steps away from the Heavenly Palace, his face drastically changed, spitting out blood, and directly falling from the sky, his aura weak and listless.

"It's the Stealing the Day Swapping the Sun Talisman!"

This is truly inhumane! the Tianhou Demon King roared, his mindset completely exploding. ≡ three⊂(#`Д´)⊃

Which sneaky bastard was ambushing him from behind?
