Chapter 292: The Lord of Radiance Who Took the Blame, the Mysterious Object Within the Tianzun

The instant that small sun rose above Dalong, every powerful being in this heaven and earth was startled.

Unlike the depths of Mingtu, which as the place the once-strongest Tianyuan Zunzhe chose to lie down and rot was naturally extraordinary, the entirety of Mingtu was in no way inferior even compared to Ren Jian.

Therefore, no matter how wantonly Baichuan expended his power, as long as it was not a targeted attack, he could conceal all its activity within that world.

But now, Baichuan had openly used power above the level of a Tianzun in this world, and had even directly struck down a Tianzun-level powerhouse who shared existence with heaven and earth.

Such an act could not be described merely as a bright bonfire in the dark night—it was as if someone had directly launched a flare in the darkness, completely driving away the darkness over a vast region while at the same time blinding the eyes of those nearby.

Thus, in the various small worlds/Divine Kingdoms attached to this great heaven and earth—whether it was Yin Bao Tian Zun, who had once had contact with Baichuan, or the other two Tianzun/Main God who had never appeared, or even the Sun Tianzun who had just been driving the Sun Chariot down from above Tian Gui Zhi Jie—all of them were stunned for a moment, turned to look toward Huangcheng of Dalong, and said in unison with grave expressions:

"Fate has fallen…"

"There seems to be the aura of Golden Flame?"

"Is it Radiance?"

A Tianzun/Main God Level great divine ability user, something that had not appeared in tens of thousands of years, had once again met death at this moment, and had even emitted the aura of a certain familiar innate ability.

What did this represent?

No one understood better than They did.

It was stated from the very beginning that the positions above Divine Realm in this world were limited; if even Divine Realm was so, how much more so for the supreme Tianzun/Main God.

Under normal circumstances a Tianzun would not die, unless the entire world was destroyed along with them.

The strength of a Tianzun lay in the Heavenly Dao plundered within their body.

The fall of a Tianzun meant that the Heavenly Dao plundered within their body was about to return once more to the world, but once this process of return had a powerhouse of the same level nearby, they could seal it in advance and seize it.

And once the Heavenly Dao was plundered by them and fused into their own body, it meant their own realm would advance further, and they might even use this to force other beings of the same level to retreat step by step, completely devouring them and achieving their own great completion.

But at this moment, Fate, who was of the same level as Them, had died, and the aura of the Lord of Radiance had appeared nearby.

What this represented was self-evident.

Although They did not know how Radiance had done it, They had to go over and apply pressure; otherwise, once Radiance finished plundering, what awaited Them would be a Lord of Radiance who had gathered the power of two Tianzun, and at that time perhaps no one in this heaven and earth could stop the Lord of Radiance!

What awaited Them would be death!

Thus, a few breaths after the small sun appeared in the Dalong region, the entire world—whether Dongfang Quyu or the Western Region—began to undergo tremendous upheaval.

One after another, terrifyingly powerful beings whose mere hint of aura could collapse the void emerged from unnamed voids, or walked out from within Mingtu, driving the world's Spirit to surge violently; for a time all manner of strange omens continuously manifested—immortal blossoms, golden lotuses, exotic fragrance, immortal music, purple qi stretching three thousand li, resplendent Divine Kingdoms appearing...

From this moment on, the Tianzun who had not appeared in tens of thousands of years descended once more!

And They did not head toward the place where Fate had died, namely the direction of Huangcheng in Dalong—after all, even mortals knew to flee after killing someone, let alone a Main God?

Staying in place to await the other side would inevitably result in being surrounded and attacked.

From Their understanding of the Lord of Radiance, the moment power Burst forth, he would surely realize he had been exposed, and after seizing Fate's main body, he would undoubtedly run back to his own nest to begin plundering Fate's power.

After all, a Divine Kingdom could still block things for a moment or two.

And at a Main God's speed, it would not take long to cross an entire region and return to his own lair.

Therefore, if They wanted to intercept the other party ahead of Radiance's absorption, They could only do so by rushing toward the void where the other's Divine Kingdom was located, and this Time had to be fast!

Fate's power absolutely could not be allowed to be taken alone by Radiance!

Of course, to guard against accidents and being played by that old lecher's "hide a tree in the forest" trick, They also released their own "eyes" to go to the place where the power had Burst forth to inspect.

At the same moment, at the same Time.

In a certain Divine Kingdom in the Western Region, the Lord of Radiance, who had suffered a small loss at Baichuan's hands, instantly awoke from slumber, his expression extremely ugly.

This powerful aura carrying a hint of familiarity, and those incomparably familiar energy fluctuations, even carrying the aura of his own innate Golden Flame, instantly made His eyes turn red.

His life-bound innate ability had at some unknown point been stolen by someone else!

What kind of method was this?

How—how dare he?!!!

At this moment, the familiar aura directly caused the Lord of Radiance to recall the loss he had once suffered in another world, which had resulted in the direct death of half of his avatar, forcing Him to hurriedly use slumber to recover His damaged consciousness and soul.

For a Time, He flew into a rage, screaming madly.

Of course, after the outburst, the next moment the Lord of Radiance's expression also abruptly changed; He suddenly stood up from the divine throne, and He had suddenly realized!

Things that even other Main God Tianzun understood—how could He not understand them?

He had simply been so angry earlier that his head was muddled.

Within this power that had slain Fate existed the aura of His unique Golden Flame innate ability—would this not cause the others to mistakenly believe it was His doing?

But was it really His doing?

If it truly were, that would be fine.

He had been sleeping to recover all along, and had not even fully recovered yet!

He had been innocently framed and slandered!

If so, things were going to be bad!!!

At this moment, He seemed to already see familiar old opponents, unseen for a long Time, coming one by one from various places to "visit" Him.

Given the grim situation before Him, even if He wanted to explain, would those old opponents listen to His one-sided words?

To be honest, even He would not believe it if He were in their position—Fate's death was a fact, and the presence of His aura there was also a fact.

He had even foreseen that some mortal enemy would speak in a sarcastic tone, claiming His slumber was fake and that secretly playing tricks was the truth!

If so, He would inevitably have to give an explanation.

Otherwise, if they saw through His true state and discovered He was truly heavily injured, then with several opponents of the same level gathering together, under such an inexplicable crisis how could He fare well?

They would probably seize this opportunity to settle matters once and for all by directly eliminating an opponent and dividing up His power.

No good—He needed to change locations and hide!

Thinking of this, the Lord of Radiance was also grinding His teeth in hatred—how dare that damned being from another world frame Him like this!

Of course, there was also shock and fear afterward; He had not expected that Fate, of the same level, would die so easily at the other's hands.

If it had not been for the World Passage blocking Him back then, would He not have died on the spot?

……

Of course, within this upheaval, there was one incongruous exception — that was the Sun Heaven Venerable.

As a Heaven Venerable who could pity the world, who did not hesitate to ride the Sun Divine Chariot in his noble body to scatter warm sunlight across the entire world, upon seeing this scene, he sighed with a look of pity, as if he had already foreseen a scene of turmoil, and then headed toward some mysterious place within the unseen depths.

……

For an instant, watching the Heaven Venerables begin to descend once more upon Ren Jian because of his actions, even Baichuan was somewhat astonished.

But although he was astonished, he did not feel it was unexpected.

From the moment he made that decision, he had already anticipated every possible situation.

He had even prepared himself for the scenario where all the Heaven Venerables and Main Gods descended together to besiege him.

Unfortunately, it seemed the current situation differed somewhat from his expectations.

Why were powerful figures heading toward the western region one after another?

Why was this?

Wasn't the Burst point of all events right here?

He had simply forgotten that little interlude from the past — the Main God ability model he had obtained back then, one of whose abilities was possessed by only a single person in the entire world.

At this moment, amid the Burst of his power, he carried the aura of that ability, causing the other party to be mistaken by other beings of the same level.

This was clearly letting the other party take the blame for him.

Baichuan, who had not yet recalled this point at the moment, found it strange, but he did not think much of it.

Rather, this was for the better — it could buy him a little Time to deal with the aftermath, such as those witnesses, such as that nameless Heaven Venerable corpse that had just died, lest the successive great battles cause him to inadvertently miss something.

He hoped that in this world, a Heaven Venerable-level existence could bring him a slightly different change.

Because if one were to speak of Heaven Venerable-level ability models, he had long ago obtained one by borrowing a single finger of the Main God; unfortunately, although the ability was very powerful, compared to what he wanted, there was still some gap.

Thinking of this, he directly unfolded the small storage world within the Immortal-Binding Rope; this was nothing strange — only with the Immortal-Binding Rope's existence could the small world contain all the various powers drawn in.

Then he directly collected all the witnesses below, including the entire Huangcheng, into the segmented small world.

As for the reason, of course it was to eliminate future trouble — he was about to prepare to hide himself for a period of Time to digest the Heaven Venerable's corpse, and could not let the other party find him directly through various means of retrospection and the like.

With or without the relevant items, such means were not on the same level of difficulty.

At the same time, after all, this was a True Monarch-level powerhouse; one never knew what special abilities they might possess.

Then he finally looked toward the blue-golden divine eyes that had lost their aura above the firmament, and directly drew them down.

As the mountain-sized corpse fell toward the earth, just at this moment, his gaze sharpened, because as he approached, he clearly saw wisps of mysterious substance slowly seeping out from within that great eyeball.

This was a scene he had never seen before; he had never witnessed such a strange situation on the Main God's finger from back then.

Baichuan was stunned for a moment, then felt a surge of joy within, because he feared not the appearance of an abnormal situation, but feared there being nothing unusual at all — the substance that could seep out from within a Heaven Venerable's body should certainly be no ordinary thing.

He thought for a moment, then directly stuffed it into a spatial Faba — something he had obtained during his trip to Mingtu.

One had to know that in that place, other things might be scarce, but the leftover belongings of cultivators after their deaths were plentiful.

Even though he did not need them much, that characteristic of a hoarder also led him to collect some.

Having done all this, Baichuan no longer hesitated, and directly activated his LV5-level 【Yin Energy Manipulation】 ability; in an instant he crossed the threshold of True Monarch and directly saw the boundary layer between Mingtu and the human world, then directly opened Mingtu's entrance and穿梭ed within.

It was obvious that, knowing that even the strongest being on this planet, Tianyuan Zunzhe, had chosen Mingtu to lie low, this place called Mingtu must have its own special qualities, making it the best choice for temporarily hiding and digesting his gains.

When he once again saw the familiar scene of Mingtu, Baichuan did not hesitate; after laying down a barrier with the aid of Mingtu's dense Yin energy, and even a flight-prohibition domain, he then took out that enormous nameless Heaven Venerable corpse.

The instant that corpse appeared, Baichuan once again saw that familiar mysterious substance slowly seeping out.

At this moment, Baichuan finally had Time to carefully understand what that thing was.

He directly controlled the power of Spirit to cover the Dragon Claw, then drew out a wisp of that substance.

In an instant, the scene before his eyes flashed, as if some kind of miraculous change had occurred.

It was a feeling of his mind directly becoming cool and Transparent; under this feeling, he seemed to vaguely gain an additional sense.

Immediately after, he felt that a great deal of complicated information had appeared within his mind.

Unfortunately, perhaps because the substance was too scarce, he could not sort out exactly what that information was.

But his intuition told him that it must be something very important.

Then how should he preserve, or even gather, these substances?

Draw them out wisp by wisp?

Baichuan thought for a moment, then saw that this was not a solution.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of the Immortal-Binding Rope.

Since the Immortal-Binding Rope could extract all the power, even the origin, of True Monarch divine Spirits.

Presumably this substance seeping out from within a Heaven Venerable's body was a precious power, and should also be able to be drawn out and preserved, right?

Baichuan, who was not certain how well the Immortal-Binding Rope could do this, also thought of this with some uncertainty.

Thinking of it, he did it — he directly released the Immortal-Binding Rope, and even directly deployed its main body.

Fearing that the power of the differentiated chains would not be enough, causing him to miss something important.

The next moment, accompanied by a "clatter-clatter..." sound of metal friction, a chain like a living snake rose up, and then under his control, violently stabbed into that enormous eye.

In an instant, a sound like drinking water arose.

That was the sound of a large amount of power belonging to this Heaven Venerable being drawn out.

Clearly, this chain was worthy of being a Faba with countless legendary deeds in this world.

It could even easily draw out the power of a Heaven Venerable.

Baichuan even suspected that Tianyuan Zunzhe might have broken through precisely by relying on this Faba, right?

Especially since within the other's legends, there was a record of a great slaughter having been carried out.

This directly told Baichuan that he might have guessed the truth of history.

While Baichuan was lost in thought, Time also slowly passed — five days went by.

That day, accompanied by a crisp snap of chains breaking free, the large eyeball completely shriveled, and the absorption of the Heavenly Venerable's power was finally declared over.

At the same time, Baichuan also scanned out the ability model of this unknown Heavenly Venerable.
