Ayao hadn't forgotten how this guy tried to steal her Reincarnation Pearl in the Boundless Starfield: "Demon Emperor, why do you want the Lifeless Sword now? I haven't settled the score with you for ambushing me in the Boundless Starfield yet!"
"What? You ambushed A Yao?" Feng Wu looked coldly at the Demon Emperor Tian Luo.
"Wait, let me explain, it's not like that." Demon Emperor Tianluo has no desire to antagonize the Phoenix Clan at all; he knows very well that he cannot resist the Demon Clan alone.
"Where is Feng Chu? Where is Feng Chu?" Xie Chen asked, giving the Demon Emperor Tianluo a cold glance as he spoke. Feng Chu was traveling with Feng Yao at the time; if he had attacked Feng Yao, he must have also attacked Feng Chu.
Ayao looked at Xie Chen: "Sword God Senior, don't worry, Feng Chu is fine. He should have returned to the Sword God Palace by now."
Upon hearing that Feng Chu was alright, Xie Chen glared at the Demon Emperor Tianluo, snorted coldly, and remained silent.
“We can’t let Lou Munan get the Sword of No Life, but we don’t know what dangers are inside the Thunder Emperor’s Tomb. Master, you stay outside, I’ll go in,” A Yao said.
"Are you going alone?" Feng Wu asked.
Ayao grabbed the Black Nest Lord's arm: "I'll go with him."
“Your Highness Feng Yao, the Thunder Emperor’s Tomb might be a trap. It would be too weak for just the two of you to go together,” said Demon Emperor Tian Luo.
Ayao knew he had developed a lust for the Sword of No Life, but at this critical juncture, Ayao didn't have time to settle scores with him about what happened in the Boundless Star Domain. She sneered, "If you and your friends want to go, go ahead. I won't stop you. When the time comes, life and death will be left to fate."
"Master, I cannot let Lou Munan get that sword. Your disciple is going."
She clasped her hands in a fist salute to Feng Wu, then, pulling the Lord of the Black Nest along, they transformed into a golden rainbow and sped off into the endless depths of the starry sky. The Demon Emperor Tianluo immediately followed them.
Feng Wu didn't follow, but after thinking for a moment, she decided to return to the Phoenix Clan first. Xie Chen also returned to the Sword God Palace first to check on Feng Chu's safety.
"Master, are you going?" Hua Yan asked her master, Li Yan.
“Your master doesn’t use a sword, so what would I do with that sword?” Li Yan said.
"That place must be very dangerous, right? What if there's danger inside if Ayao goes like this?" Hua Yan asked worriedly.
Li Yan looked at her and said, "Your friend seems to know a lot of things we don't. She has the Reincarnation Pearl, so she should be fine. At least she's better off than us, who are blind and know nothing. It would be dangerous for us to go in rashly. How about this, we'll wait for them outside and not go in. If something really happens inside, we might be able to find a way to help them from outside."
Hua Yan exclaimed, "Great! Great!"
So the master and disciple flew towards that pitch-black giant gate in the endless starry sky.
————
In the starry sky, a colossal gate, tens of thousands of feet tall, stood erect, constantly blowing out grayish-white mist. This mist formed a huge vortex, drawing everything around it in and sucking it into the gate.
Ayao and the Lord of the Black Nest were instantly drawn into the gray-white mist. Ayao immediately felt a powerful attraction. She discovered that the mist not only had an attraction but also a power of lightning. Those below the Golden Immortal level could not withstand such power of lightning. As soon as they entered the gray-white mist, they were struck by the flashing lightning within it and their bodies and souls were destroyed.
Ayao and the Lord of the Black Nest were naturally not afraid of the power of the lightning law, nor were they controlled by that powerful attraction.
"What kind of person was the Thunder Emperor?" A Yao asked the Lord of the Black Nest.
"It's hard for me to explain."
"Do you want to go in? You said that if you meet, you will devour each other." Ayao looked at the Lord of the Black Nest.
Lord of the Black Nest said:
"It's not as scary as facing Lou Munan directly."
After saying that, he continued flying forward, with Ayao following behind him.
The two of them flew across the gray-white mist like two long rainbows and entered the Tomb of the Thunder Emperor in an instant.
The moment she entered the Thunder Emperor's Tomb, A Yao felt a strange power. When she came to her senses, the place she was in had become a desolate world, and the Lord of the Black Nest had disappeared without a trace.
On the vast land, there are many huge stone statues. These statues look very ancient, and the clothes on each of them are from the ancient era.
These stone statues, some male and some female, all had solemn expressions and exuded majesty. Ayao stood atop one of the statues, which was a hundred feet tall. She spread her divine sense around, but found no trace of the Black Nest Lord, nor anyone else.
She looked around and saw that the land was extremely dry, with no green plants, only withered yellow grass. The sun seemed to be setting in the west all the time, and the wind was blowing yellow sand.
This is a world devoid of life.
A desolate world.
She felt a sense of familiarity about this place.
Suddenly, she sensed a presence behind her. Ayao gripped her sword and immediately turned around.
When Ayao turned around, she saw a man standing behind her. The man was shirtless with his muscular upper body, and had long red hair hanging down his back. He was wearing earrings inlaid with red gemstones.
He wore an ancient-style armband, and his bronze skin was marked with black cursed symbols. His eyes were bloodshot, and his face was exactly the same as Xu Fengzhi's.
"you……"
A look of shock appeared in A Yao's eyes.
She had seen him before; in the illusion, he was also Xu Fengzhi's alter ego.
Before A Yao could finish her sentence, countless black, crescent-shaped flying blades hurtled towards her. A Yao immediately dodged, and these crescent-shaped black blades tore through hundreds of spatial rifts. A Yao looked at Xu Fengzhi's clone in confusion:
What are you doing?
Why would they attack me the moment we meet?
The red-haired man didn't say a word, but threw a punch at A Yao. His punch was fierce and terrifying, enough to shatter the heavens and earth. A Yao unfurled her phoenix wings and flew into the sky, and he immediately gave chase.
"How can you be like this? You hit me as soon as we meet, and you don't even say a word?" Ayao said.
The opponent dodged forward and punched A Yao in the chest. A Yao struck out with her left hand, a mark appearing on her palm. Then she changed her palm into a fist and exchanged a punch with the red-haired man.
boom!
The entire world trembled violently. The power of the two fists was so terrifying that all the statues within a radius of tens of thousands of miles were reduced to dust in an instant.
Previously, Xu Fengzhi's clones only saved her and never did anything to harm her. What's wrong with this guy? Is he trying to kill her?
No, Ah Yao noticed that his eyes were vacant and he seemed completely irrational.
Was he being controlled by someone?
