Secret Buyer

Chapter 580 - 353: After Douluo Palace, Yuanshi Teaches the Dao! (1/2)

(Juguian Old)

In the depths of the starry sky, on a forsaken planet.

Ruins.

The star beast tide has yet to truly arrive, for the beast tide is a whole,

although the pinnacle of the Level 5 Star Beasts may traverse the entire reality universe in a single thought,

due to waiting for the remaining Level 2 and 3 Star Beasts, their speed considerably slowed down.

Even so, countless stars surrounding the ruin planet have already fallen dead, the tide not reaching yet its threat has descended first,

just the sheer pressure sweeping this vast star sea clean!

At this moment, the ruin planet hangs solitary in massive darkness, viewed from afar, it resembles a black hole suspended in space,

devouring all light, all color.

Deep within the ruins of the planet.

All researchers have been urgently evacuated, even the Pope of the Eastern Sect has left,

yet the ancient ancestor of the Zhang Family still stands upon the ground, quietly gazing at the Taoist Palace suspended in the ground fissure, not moving a step.

"Why..... has it not come out yet?"

The old man murmured to himself, it was time for the Douluo Palace to open, but all he saw was a furnace and two figures beside it,

seeing none of the three who entered the Taoist Palace.

"This is not right."

The old man whispered, eyes suddenly sharp, fingers continuously flickering in the void, as if deducing, divining.

"The time within this Taoist Palace is completely chaotic, what we see from outside the Palace, may not be the present scene!"

He was a bit troubled, rubbing his temples, muttering to himself:

"In other words, perhaps the blazing furnace now comes from billions of years ago—or maybe from billions of years in the future."

"A Taoist Palace independent of the river of time... what of that girl?"

The old man didn’t know, all he could do was continue to wait, continue to watch before the star beast tide arrived.

The Celestial Secret reveals, the Ancestor will surely descend when that girl exits the Taoist Palace, there will be no mistake!

He thought she could walk out in an hour, but now...

"Time chaos..... perhaps they have just entered the Taoist Palace!"

The old man choked, a bitter smile appeared on his face, watching the door of Douluo Palace close once again.

’Creak~ Boom!’

The closing sound was like a bell ringing, startling Shen Baobao who had just entered, she instinctively looked back, the door tightly shut, unshakeable.

"In we are."

A black-robed person beside her whispered, Shen Baobao regained herself, looking around, seeing only profound darkness.

What was visible from outside the Douluo Palace, seemed completely invisible after entering.

She tentatively released her Divine Thought, then pushed her Mana and Grotto Heaven completely to her eyes, then looked forward,

amidst darkness, only a distant flicker of fire seemed to jump.

Shen Baobao swallowed:

"Is it according to the director’s words, to search the unseen darkness for the sealed artifact, or head towards that flickering fire?"

The two black-robed figures exchanged glances, their voices wooden:

"Advance, advance."

After saying this, they each reached out, with pincers-like hands grabbing Shen Baobao’s arms from left and right,

she was startled, instinctively wanting to struggle, but sensed within the black-robed figures a force like an abyssal sea!

Venerate?

No.

Above Venerate!!

Shen Baobao’s scalp tingled, caught by the black-robed figures’ arms, dragged forward,

her heart filled with dread, she suddenly realized the hands gripping her were no ordinary human hands, but bones!

Glistening gem-like bones!

"Who... who are you?" She asked, terror-stricken.

But the black-robed figures gave no answer, only stiffly, woodenly advancing, step by step, their footsteps echoing ominously in the darkness.

The flickering light hidden within the depths gradually drew near, revealing itself more fully—an oven.

It was the same oven seen when surveying the Taoist Palace from the outside.

But it differed,

from the outside it appeared grand, the fire blazing fiercely, yet upon entering,

though the oven remained imposing, the flames beneath, resembling as flowing glow, were terrifyingly diminutive.

The lifeforms fanning the flames on either side were gone, leaving only two solitary meditation mats.

The black-robed figures released their grip on Shen Baobao, and stood one on either side of the oven,

Shen Baobao’s heart pounded like a drum, a thought almost unimaginable arose in her mind, she instinctively murmured:

"Could you... could you be those who fan the flames?"

Yet the two creatures shrouded in black robes merely side-glanced, gazing at Shen Baobao bizarrely.

Shen Baobao instinctively stepped back, ’bang’, colliding with a figure that had appeared unnoticed.

Startled, she turned her head, then exhaled a long breath—it was the Ancestor.

The Ancestor had somehow already emerged from his Divine Realm, standing right behind her.

"You are here..."

Shen Baobao spoke with a tremor in her voice.

Zhang Fusheng nodded, his gaze sweeping over this Douluo Palace almost entirely shrouded in darkness, finally focusing on the oven and the two black-robed figures.

Such formidable aura... they are all Great Powers.

But this aura... was strangely familiar.

Zhang Fusheng’s thoughts spun, raising an eyebrow, intending to strike directly, to suppress these two black-robed figures when.

The very next moment.

The two black-robed figures woodenly, stiffly knelt to the ground, their mouths issuing a grating sound like bones rubbing together:

"Your subordinates pay respect to the Sect Hierarch."

Paying respect to whom?

Zhang Fusheng’s heart fluttered, thinking a presence was behind him, whirling around instantly,

manifesting his imperial might bodily, his form suffused with the blazing flames born of the Human Race’s grand fortune,
