Chapter 2133 - 1018: Ji Xiuning Torn Apart by a Thousand Blades (Important)
After capturing this energy information, Lanling immediately traced it back along the information trajectory.
However...
This energy information did not originate from the sky, but from underground!
This... This is strange!
Lanling quickly tracked it before the traces of this energy information completely disappeared.
Always winding underground, there is a dedicated rift passage extending deep into the whole planet’s underground, traversing tens of thousands of miles, ultimately disappearing into boundless emptiness.
Could this boundless emptiness be where the Sky Holy Palace is located?
Because the signal was completely lost once traced to here, this reverse tracking usually loses all signal only when reaching the energy source.
If that’s the case, then isn’t the Sky Holy Palace underground, within the world’s core?
But now the entire Dragon Demon Planet is within Lanling’s domain, so if the Sky Holy Palace is at the planet’s center, how can it be an independent plane?
Regardless, according to the signal from this information, the Sky Holy Palace is within the earth’s core.
...
After a moment of hesitation, Lanling set off immediately.
Of course, he couldn’t directly penetrate the entire crust to find the Sky Holy Palace within the earth’s core. Even if he penetrated the whole planet, it would be impossible to find it.
Because the Sky Holy Palace is an independent plane, it could be hidden within a grain of sand, within a Crystal Stone.
Since it’s an independent plane, it requires traversing numerous planes and spatial rifts to find it. The only ones capable of traversing these planes and rifts are Yao Xing and Lanling himself.
The Energy Array receiving this signal is located in the Western Sea of the Continent.
Lanling submerged into the depths of the Western Sea, effortlessly finding where the Energy Array was located, then found a unique small vortex.
"Whoosh..." Lanling easily entered the vortex.
He entered a small spatial rift, constantly twisting and changing, a rift where only king-level powerhouses could survive.
Lanling turned into a mass of light, swiftly flying through this narrow spatial rift.
After flying thousands of miles, he reached the end of this spatial rift, encountering another vortex ahead.
Lanling passed through this vortex, entering another plane.
The plane was filled with towering flames, red light, with nothing else but fire.
Lanling transformed into a light shadow, hurrying forward at tens of thousands of meters per second, pursuing the energy path leading towards the Sky Holy Palace.
"Zoom zoom zoom zoom zoom..."
Lanling’s light shadow constantly shifted through various spatial rifts, various narrow planes.
One after another, one after another.
Some are only a few hundred miles small, while others span tens of thousands of miles long.
All kinds of spatial rifts, yet none had any life forms in them.
For the first time, Lanling discovered his planet had so many spatial rifts, as well as countless Dark Rifts.
Truly riddled with holes...
These spatial rifts, dark rifts weren’t naturally existing but were caused by various terrifying wars.
Of course, the level of these wars was extraordinarily high, even higher than the world wars between the Demon Race and humans. At the very least, they were at the level of Starforce, because only energy of this level could tear apart planes.
But in Lanling’s memory, the entire world shouldn’t have gone through so many high-energy level wars, regardless of Emperor E Tian or Emperor EYun’s wars, couldn’t have torn out so many spatial rifts.
Could it be from prehistoric times? Wars between Ancient Gods and Demons and Divine Dragons?
But now, the history of tens of thousands of years is blurry. All historical memories seem to end at Emperor E Tian, going further back is entirely mysterious. The only known fact is the mutual demise of Divine Dragons and Divine Demons, almost tearing the whole planet apart, creating dreadful lands of fall.
However, the history of Divine Dragons and Divine Demons is a blank.
The fall battle of Divine Dragons and Divine Demons up till Emperor E Tian’s history is complete blankness.
But these countless spatial rifts, dark rifts indicated to Lanling that this blank history contained numerous secrets.
...
Thus, Lanling traversed nearly mechanically.
Once transformed into a light shadow, his speed reached ten thousand meters per second, crossing a spatial rift almost every half minute.
And the route in his mind was absolutely clear, he would never go the wrong way.
Now Lanling finally understood why Emperor E Tian spent years seeking the Sky Holy Palace.
Because this was truly the most intricate maze in history, requiring traversing an unknown number of spatial rifts to reach the Sky Holy Palace. How many spatial rifts were there, hundreds of thousands, millions, or even more? And the correct route was but one, chosen from billions, trillions of possibilities.
Key point is Emperor E Tian wasn’t of Chaotic Bloodline, he could freely pass through spatial rifts but couldn’t cross plane barriers, only able to select one vortex after another for traversing. Moreover, this cannot be delegated to others, only Bloodline of the Void Carriers can freely traverse.
No wonder Emperor EYun wanted to directly use Pseudo-Starforce to tear open these spatial rifts and plane barriers because he fundamentally couldn’t traverse these spatial rifts, being only half bloodline of the void.
At this moment, Lanling was fully certain, that the Sky Holy Palace was constructed by deities from the Lunar Holy Palace, and the priests at the Sky Holy Palace just enjoyed the fruits of where Zhi Yan had said she traveled back and forth innumerable times, yet entirely oblivious to the location of the Sky Holy Palace, even the whole Sky Holy Palace was known to only Shi Tian.
Traverse, traverse, traverse...
Finally, mechanically, habitually, traversing one spatial rift after another.
Anyway, as long as he saw a vortex, he drilled inside!
A space rift journey of tens of thousands of miles...
Suddenly...
Lanling arrived in a special space.
Here, it surprisingly looked exactly like the sky.
This space is enormously vast, with endless darkness seemingly dotted with stars, just like the sky above.
It’s somewhat unreasonable, this is clearly deep within the planet, in the underground world, where there could be a cosmic starry sky?
And ahead, there is a huge vortex of light and shadow.
Reached the end!
Just now, the energy information Xiuning wished to send from the Sky Holy Palace disappeared behind this vortex.
So, the Sky Holy Palace is behind this vortex? Is this the last space vortex to travel through?
Indeed, the surroundings here resemble a sky world of cosmic stars, utterly convincing.
No wonder it’s called the Sky Holy Palace, no wonder Zhi Yan and others previously believed the Sky Holy Palace was truly in the sky.
The plane of the Sky Holy Palace is hidden within this pseudo-cosmic starry sky?
Lanling slowly flew to the front of this immense vortex!
Passing through this vortex, you’ll enter the Sky Holy Palace!
...
Inside the Sky Holy Palace!
Ning Wuya, Shi Tian, Gu Ban, and Tian Daoqi were tensely gathered inside the Cosmic Tower, watching a light screen in front of them.
On this light screen was a faint silhouette, representing Demon Emperor Lanling.
Behind the light screen was endless darkness.
Inside the Cosmic Tower, there was another person, Ji Xiuning!
Everyone held their breath, waiting for Lanling to traverse this immense vortex.
This is the most tense moment in the history of the Sky Holy Palace’s leaders, their hearts beating so fast they almost couldn’t breathe.
"Hurry, hurry... hurry and traverse it..."
Everyone shouted desperately in their hearts.
Because beyond this immense vortex lies the boundless dark void, filled with astronomical numbers of void creatures. Destroying everything, devouring everything, melting everything that exists.
Even if Demon Emperor Lanling were to enter, he would be completely devoured.
No, completely fused!
Just like Emperor Moda back then, he signed a contract with a batch of void creatures from a dark rift, completely devoured and fused by void creatures, his brain became the command center for countless void creatures.
And that was merely a void creature from a dark rift.
Behind the vast vortex Lanling faces, is the headquarters of void creatures on the entire Dragon Demon Planet.
Void creatures are the great enemy of the entire world, the entire universe, across innumerable planes. They can utterly devour all energies, all life. If all void creatures were to be released, it would signify the end of the world.
And all the void creatures were gathered and sealed in this dark void, just behind this immense vortex.
This immense vortex is the core of the lock on the entire dark void. Only entry, no exit!
Who sealed the dark void and trapped countless void creatures inside? That remains unknown!
But as soon as Lanling enters and traverses this vortex, he will enter the dark void, be devoured and fused by countless void creatures, and become their spiritual command center. Just like Emperor Moda, forever in pain, wailing, seeking life in vain, seeking death in vain, forever buried in the eighteenth level of hell, eternally trapped in the dark void, unable to leave.
Therefore, the so-called energy descent by Xiuning was merely a conspiracy, a trap!
It was to use the Cosmic Tower, this super energy tower built by the Lunar Holy Palace, to refract and transmit energy information, finally leading to its disappearance in the dark void.
The goal was to lure Demon Emperor Lanling into the dark void and bury him once and for all!
Therefore, Ji Xiuning deserves to be punished severely!
At this moment, Ji Xiuning had completely lost her previous transcendent beauty, like a fairy, her beautiful face almost twisted in ferocity, with eyes burning like fire.
Hurry, hurry, hurry and enter.
Lanling, hurry and traverse the great vortex, hurry into the dark void, hurry to meet your doom!
Ji Xiuning prayed in her heart!
...
Lanling stood before the immense vortex, gazing at it, a cold and cunning smile gradually spreading across his lips.
Interesting, very interesting!
Then...
"Whoosh..."
Lanling transformed into a streak of light and shadow, suddenly vanishing into the immense vortex leading to the dark void!
...
Inside the Cosmic Tower, everyone witnessed the light representing Lanling vanish instantly!
Suddenly, Ning Wuya, Shi Tian, Gu Ban, and Tian Daoqi of the Sky Holy Palace, along with Ji Xiuning, were overjoyed, celebrating with glee!
...
