BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1057: The Hideout
Wang Jinlong immediately asked Tang Chen. "Are you sure the three evil mythical beasts are hiding in this realm?"
"Yes." Tang Chen nodded to Wang Jinlong as he took out his saber, but he then took out a small device before combining it with his saber. "Back then, our leader told me that they were hiding in this realm, and he already knew about this barrier.
That's why he helped me create this device specifically to destroy it, but I'm not sure if they are still here, and they might have gone somewhere else to hide. After all, the injuries they suffered when they fought with me a few months ago were quite severe, and they should still not have recovered by now."
Wang Jinlong nodded in understanding at that. "No matter what, you can try to destroy this barrier first, and we will immediately look for them if they have escaped from this realm."
Tang Chen then held his saber with both hands and pointed upwards, and he immediately closed his eyes to fully concentrate. Meanwhile, Yue Mengyi immediately held her husband's left hand as she channeled her qi into his body, causing the aura released from his body to increase several times.
Yue Mengyi's action was quite surprising to Wang Jinlong and the others, especially since her qi was in tune with Tang Chen's, which caused his strength to gradually increase, and they were wondering the same thing in their minds. 'What kind of technique is that? How can she use her ice qi to boost his?
Her ice qi is extremely cold, but it's also very gentle, and it's the opposite of Feng Huang's violent ice qi.'
After a few minutes, Tang Chen's aura flared even more, but he immediately channeled it into his saber along with his qi, causing it to lengthen and enlarge at the same time.
Qing Long and the others were completely shocked to see that, and they could feel that their death was so close in front of them that even the fine hairs on their bodies stood up because of the effect, causing them to subconsciously take several steps back.
Even Wang Jinlong and Long Tianhuo looked amazed to see that, and they could feel that Tang Chen's aura was already comparable to theirs.
A faint smile appeared on Feng Huang's face, and her gaze never left Yue Mengyi's figure. 'If she uses that ability on me, I'm sure I can fully recover in half a year. However, we can only do that in the frostmoon domain by taking advantage of the cold there, so I have to persuade him to go there with us.
That way, I don't need to be tied to that place anymore, and I can go to my children's side to protect them.'
After he felt fully prepared, Tang Chen opened his eyes and swung his saber towards the small realm, and it immediately clashed with the protective barrier.
*Swoosh*
The two's collision created a powerful shockwave that pushed everyone, including Tang Chen himself, slightly backwards. However, Long Tianhuo and Wang Jinlong immediately moved behind him, pressing their palms against his back. "This barrier is stronger than I expected, so please channel your qi into my body, and my wife will circulate it."
"All right." Wang Jinlong and Long Tianhuo immediately followed Tang Chen's request, but they channeled their qi into his body slowly, especially since the difference between immortal kings and immortal emperors was quite significant. They were afraid that his body would not be able to accommodate their qi at once.
However, Wang Jinlong and Long Tianhuo's worries were too much, especially since they could feel that Yue Mengyi could control and circulate their qi perfectly, so they immediately channeled more of their qi into Tang Chen's body.
Tang Chen inhaled and exhaled several times, but his saber immediately enlarged again as soon as he utilized their qi within his body, so he continued to press it downwards.
*Crack... Crack...*
Huo Qilin and the others could see cracks beginning to appear on the small realm's protective barrier, and they quickly spread to every side of it, which excited them, especially since they couldn't wait to capture Qiong Qi and the others.
"Break it for me!" Tang Chen immediately released all his strength to push his saber downwards, and the barrier protecting the small realm finally exploded, shattering into pieces.
*Boom*
The massive explosion sent the flying artifacts backwards, but Long Tianhuo immediately withdrew his qi from Tang Chen's body and controlled it, preventing them from flying too far away.
The mythical beasts immediately wiped the cold sweat off their foreheads. 'Phew! If this human's attack just now had hit us, then we would have died a terrible death, and our families would not be able to find our corpses.'
Tang Chen immediately held his saber tightly as soon as the barrier shattered, and he slowly withdrew his aura and qi, as did Wang Jinlong, who withdrew his qi from his body.
Meanwhile, Yue Mengyi kept circulating her qi inside Tang Chen's body to help him stabilize his qi, which had previously been in turmoil due to the effects of his technique just now, so he wouldn't suffer a backlash.
"Phew." Tang Chen immediately exhaled and put away his saber before turning to his wife. "That's enough, wife."
"Yeah." Yue Mengyi nodded and retracted her qi immediately. "Are you sure you're okay?"
"Ha ha ha." Instead, Tang Chen laughed and hugged Yue Mengyi's waist before planting a brief kiss on her cold lips. "We've been together for so long, so you should already understand my body's condition, right? The technique just now did make my Qi turbulent, but your Qi quickly calmed it down, so it's stable now."
Yue Mengyi smiled when she heard that. "Shall we enter this realm now?"
As soon as he heard their conversation, Long Tianhuo immediately flew his flying artifact into the small realm. However, the sight there astounded everyone, particularly given the severe damage to the entire realm and the numerous craters strewn across different regions.
Wang Jinlong immediately led the mythical beasts to leave the flying artifact, and they spread out in various directions to look for the three evil mythical beasts, especially since they remembered for sure that Tao Tie and the others could hide their presence very neatly.
Long Tianhuo, Feng Huang, and Tang Chen immediately spread their senses to all corners of the realm. However, they could not find any signs of the three evil mythical beasts in the realm. "Judging from the damage in this realm, I'm sure that they were the ones who damaged it on purpose, and they immediately fled afterward."
"Yes." Tang Chen nodded in agreement with Long Tianhuo. "After our last battle, they probably realized that I had something to track their hideout, so they immediately moved to their other hideout to hide and recover from their injuries."
Feng Huang then added. "They deliberately did not remove the shield because they wanted to hinder us, but they definitely never thought that Brother Tang could break their barrier so easily."
"Where do you think they ran away and hid, husband?" Yue Mengyi asked Tang Chen.
"Hmm?" Tang Chen looked around the small realm while thinking about several places the three evil mythical beasts might use to hide. "Actually, there are so many realms that have fallen into their hands, and two of them are the Brilliant Realm and the Netherworld Realm. Moreover, those winged races and demons are quite powerful, so I think they will escape to one of those realms."
"Even the Brilliant Realm has fallen into their hands, huh?" Feng Huang muttered to herself as she frowned. "Apart from those two realms, do you think there are any other realms in which they can hide?"
"Yes." Tang Chen answered Feng Huang with a nod. "There is a realm that has been neglected for a long time, especially since all the inhabitants of that realm have died long ago, and the condition of that realm is not too good, so there is a possibility that they will go to that realm. However, that realm is too close to the Myriad Devil Realm, which is where the devil race resides.
That's why I'm not sure they would go there with their condition still severely injured, especially considering that the devils would definitely attack them if they knew about their condition."
"What's the name of that realm? Are the devils still as active as before?"
Tang Chen immediately pointed in one direction. "The Seablood Realm is located quite far in that direction, and it is a day away from the Myriad Devil Realm, but it is already a dead realm now.
Although this flying artifact is very fast, we may not be able to arrive there in a short time, especially since the space storm and turbulence there is too strong, even for us cultivators in the three immortal realms. As for the devils, they always move in secret, so not many can detect their movements, including me."
"The Seablood Realm?" Long Tianhuo immediately turned to his wife. "Do you know anything about that realm?"
Feng Huang nodded to him. "Even though the name is quite strange to the ear, the Seablood Realm is not as bad as its name. Far in the past, that realm was one of the most harmonious, and all races lived there without disturbing each other. However, the situation changed after a mysterious plague hit the realm, and more than ninety percent of the realm's population died because of it.
The people who managed to survive immediately left the realm, and no one dared to approach that place again, especially since they thought that the plague still hadn't disappeared."
"I see." Long Tianhuo nodded in understanding. "I think that realm is the best place for Tao Tie and the others to hide, so I think we can go there after this. As for the mysterious plague, we don't need to think about that because I have something to prevent such a thing from affecting us.
However, we still need to exercise caution when it comes to the devil races, particularly given our limited knowledge about them."
After they waited for some time, Wang Jinlong and the mythical beasts returned to the flying artifact with disappointed looks, so Feng Huang immediately explained the possibilities they had previously thought of, and they headed straight to the Seablood Realm after that.
