Chapter 1136: Arriving Instantaneously

In the Barren Expanses, the eyes of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, who was watching the battle between Lin Feng and the apes, flashed with a purple light.
She felt it in her heart too as she turned her head to look at the inter-world passage between the Barren Expanses and the Divine Lands.
“This feeling, it’s related to the Hades Emperor. Where is this? The Divine Lands… the Great Thunderclap Temple, where the Hades Emperor fell?” As thoughts raced through her mind, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage was unable to keep calm.
She looked in the direction of the Lingyuan Mountains and shook her head. “Heavenly Grandmaster and Crimson Gorilla will not use all their strength, but this issue is more pressing.”
She flashed and soon, vanished into void space as she raced toward the Divine Lands.
“Looking at it now, what the Golden Roc Grand Sage possesses is no ordinary item of the Hades Emperor. More importantly, I wonder what is he searching for at the Great Thunderclap Temple? Can it be the remains of the Hades Emperor?
The same question surfaced in the minds of Lin Feng, Yan Nanlai, Liang Pan and the rest.
Lin Feng lifted his head to look at the huge black hole and he frowned slightly. He raised his index finger to tap the forehead of his Avatar of Ares and activated the Dual Dimension Vacuum Charm. He exchanged positions with his Avatar of Ares.
On the Lingyuan Mountains, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage and the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage felt that the pressure on them was slightly reduced.
The two demons exchanged a look. “The Golden Roc has appeared and he attracted the attention of Lin Feng. Right now, someone else is controlling the spell formation of the holy mountain. It could be his disciple or his avatar, but it’s definitely isn’t him.”
The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage gritted his teeth and said, “He still has time to block us while he goes after the Golden Roc Grand Sage?”
The Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage said, “If we counterattack now, he can’t escape so easily. All he can do is to block us with his holy mountain and spell formation.”
His bright-red eyes shone with green light. “If it’s one of his disciples, then it’s still fine. However, if it’s he himself, there’s a chance that he can unleash his Heaven-Destroying Sword. If we resist, we may not win. No one knows if he has the sword with him.”
The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage’s face turned calm as he said calmly, “We are helping the Golden Roc check his holy mountain and his spell formation, as well as a Destiny level magic treasure. We have done our best and the rest is now up to him.”
“While we fear his Heaven-Destroying Sword, he will not release it so easily. If he brings his sword in his confrontation against Golden Roc, we will break his holy mountain and spell formation the moment he reveals it there. If he doesn’t bring the sword along, then we have managed to hold his Heaven-Destroying Sword down too. We will be bearing most of the pressure from the Celestial Sect of Wonders. If Golden Roc still cannot succeed, then he can only blame his own uselessness.”
While the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage deliberately left some words, the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage understood him perfectly.
While the two apes did not have the Hades’ Dark Mantra like the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, they knew that he was doing something important.
If the Golden Roc Grand Sage succeeded and he improved massively, it was not something that would delight the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage and the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage. Hence, they would not use all their energy to delay Lin Feng’s return to the Divine Lands, nor would they attack with all their strength to test the power of the Heaven-Destroying Sword.
Furthermore, if they pushed Lin Feng to the brink, he would no longer care about the Golden Roc but instead, return and battle to the death against the apes. This was not in their interests.
The Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage said, “In this case, we are still covering for Lei Yuan (the Golden Roc Grand Sage). It doesn’t benefit us. If he cannot kill Lin Feng, then it’s all for naught.”
The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage said quietly, “How can that be? It’s not that a matter whether the two of us can leave the Lingyuan Mountains. Instead, we are trying to find out his bottom line. He may no longer care about what the rest of our tribe does.”
“While we are helping Golden Roc to tie Lin Feng, his entrance into the inner regions of the Divine Lands too helped to attract the human’s attention. Then, it’s a competition to see who can better seize the opportunities provided.”
The Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage calmed down. “If neither you nor I leave the Lingyuan Mountains, there’s no way our tribesmen can take Mount Shu or Mount Taihua.”
The Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage’s face cracked open into a fearsome smile as he said, “Wait patiently. The situation is ever-changing, just like right now. As to our tribesmen, we can send them somewhere else as a warm-up. They can’t take down bigger targets, but they should not have any problem with the smaller ones.”
In the Lingyuan Mountains, some light started to fly away from it. Powerful demonic energy resisted against Mount Yujing and the Two Elements of Creation Formation. With the power of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage and the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage, the Lingyuan Mountains became even more powerful.
On top of Mount Yujing, Lin Feng’s Avatar of Ares looked calmly at the scene before him. As long as the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage and the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage did not leave the Lingyuan Mountains, he would not increase the pressure.
This was seen as a tacit cooperation between the two sides. If there was no need, then neither side would try and break through the bottom line but instead, maintain the stalemate.
The Golden Roc Grand Sage’s surprise visit to the location of the previous War of the Two Worlds, the Great Thunderclap Temple, was surprising, even for Lin Feng. Hence, many human cultivators paid special attention to it.
As the spot of the final battle, the Great Void Sect, the Great Thunderclap Temple and other human sects naturally cleaned and scoured the place. However, they found nothing.
This could be because the Supreme Heavenly Mirror had yet to recover fully, or it could be because it was too well hidden. Hence, no one expected the Golden Roc Grand Sage’s current, surprising move.
Furthermore, what the Golden Roc Grand Sage was doing could be related to the Hades Emperor. The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and Lin Feng, both of who possessed the Hades’ Dark Mantra, could sense it. Hence, they went over as soon as they could.
Under these circumstances, Lin Feng did not hesitate to switch positions with his Avatar of Ares to deal with the Golden Roc Grand Sage.
Attacking the Lingyuan Mountains was so that he could lure Golden Roc and Heavenly Charms out. However, he did not expect his reaction.
Lin Feng could still accept a situation whereby the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage, Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage, and the other apes left the Lingyuan Mountains. After all, he would be the first to know.
Wang Lin, Shi Tianhao, and the other Celestial Sect disciples had made their preparations too.
When Lin Feng returned to the Divine Lands, he looked at the black hole in the sky. Supported by the purple clouds, he flew upward. Grass, trees and rocks and even mountains flew past him toward the black hole.
The purplish-gold light in the distance naturally came from the Imperial Palace of Emperor Tai. Liang Pan sat in the palace and he did not raise his head to look at the outside world. Instead, he looked down at the floor of his palace.
In the cracks between the tiles on the palace’s floor, purplish-gold light could be seen. They soon turned into a web-like system.
In the Cloud Forest World, Liang Pan and the Imperial Palace of Emperor Tai obtained some Hades’ Dark Mantra too. However, Liang Pan did not cultivate it personally but instead, he fused it with the Imperial Palace, repairing it in the process. It became an energy source for the Imperial Palace. Underneath the black hole, the Imperial Palace started to react too.
Looking at this scene, Liang Pan fell into deep thought. However, he did not stop what he was doing, and the Imperial Palace of Emperor Tai resisted the pull of the black hole. At the same time, it rose upward at Liang Pan’s pace.
On the other side, white clouds swirled and in it, black-and-white streams of Qi circled Yan Nanlai. He looked at the giant black hole and on the back of his left hand, the seal of the Great Void could be seen.
His expression was serious as he thought, “In that battle, void space was destroyed. Heaven and earth collapsed, and the Hades Emperor was killed. He then turned into a black hole, which collapsed unto itself and was destroyed in this Greater World. I can’t believe that there are still traces left. Are his remains there?”
On the other side, Lin Feng too rose upward as he carefully sensed the energy in the black hole.
It was massive and heavy.
“Can it really be the remains of the Hades Emperor? Hmm, no, it doesn’t feel right. Instead, it feels like the residual energy left over from his destruction. It exists independently in the void of the Greater World and cannot be discovered so easily. However, there is still a strand connecting it to the Greater World, and that’s the final battle site.”
Lin Feng stared at the golden ray of light, which was the form taken by the Golden Roc Grand Sage, and thought, “However, this strand is almost severed. To bring it back, one needs something special. If not, it will float like a kite whose string is cut. Only by tying the kite’s strings together can the kite be brought back.”
“If the string is not re-connected, then it is impossible to discover it even with the Supreme Heavenly Mirror.”
The higher he ascended, the more powerful the force of attraction was. Without losing control of himself, Lin Feng sped up his ascent as he prepared to enter the black hole.
The Golden Roc Grand Sage turned to look at him. “You can reach here so quickly?!”
Since he dared to act, he was not scared of trouble from anyone. He expected the remaining powerful cultivators of the Divine Lands to rush here as soon as they could.
However, while he knew that Lin Feng’s attack on the Lingyuan Mountains was to lure him out, he was still shocked at the speed it took Lin Feng to return from the Barren Expanses and appear at the Great Thunderclap Temple.
“He and his avatar possess the power to switch locations even across worlds?” The Golden Roc Grand Sage sighed. He flapped his wings. Right now, he was like an arrow on a bow. He could delay no more.
The Golden Roc Grand Sage roared and in the center of the black hole, bright, purple light shone once more.
The bone appeared once again. It flashed with a terrifying light, making Lin Feng, Yan Nanlai, and Liang Pan look twice at it.
