"I want half of your blood essence." Tang Huan said casually.
"This... "This..."
The Flamephoenix's heart was ice-cold. She had been severely injured in the past and was on the verge of death. The reason she was able to recover and improve her cultivation was because her phoenix blood essence was strong enough. If half of it was given to Tang Huan, her strength would definitely be greatly reduced.
If he wanted to recover to his current state, it would be impossible to do so without tens of thousands of years.
"This is impossible!"
She subconsciously wanted to shout out these few notes, but when the words reached her mouth, she forcefully swallowed them back down. She only dared to think about this in her head. This Tang Huan was a cruel and merciless person, if she really rejected Tang Huan's request, she would probably lose her life very quickly.
If he could not even preserve his life, all the blood and essence in his body would fall into Tang Huan's hands.
But if she were to hand over half of her blood essence for free, how could she be willing? If she lost 50% of her blood essence, not to mention Duan Yuan, Song Gao Yang, and the other SemiGods, a Upper Level Zun Stage Heavenly Jewel Master would be able to heavily injure her.
"What is it? "You don't want to?" Tang Huan glanced at Fire Phoenix, his expression somewhat gloomy.
"No …" "That's not it..."
Fire Phoenix's mind shook and she hurriedly shook her head. In an instant, her charming face squeezed out a smile that was uglier than a cry. She said with a trembling voice, "I … I am willing! "
As she spoke, the Flamephoenix felt as if her heart was bleeding.
"Alright!"
Tang Huan reached out to grab it.
The Flamephoenix didn't dare to dodge. Of course, even if she wanted to, she wouldn't be able to. After an instant, she felt a gentle yet mysterious power wrap around her entire body, and then slowly seeped into her body. In an instant, it had already spread to her limbs and bones.
The fire phoenix knew what Tang Huan wanted to do, and didn't dare to resist.
In the next moment, the fire phoenix felt that the power contained a strange kind of magic. As it swam around, the blood essence in its body seemed to be attracted by a magnet and was slowly separated from its body, gathering at the bottom of Tang Huan's palm at an astonishing speed.
Seeing this scene, Duan Yuan and Song Gao were both silent, but in their hearts, they could only bitterly smile.
When Tang Huan had just entered the Ruins of God, although they had addressed him as Brother Tang Huan, deep in their souls, they still felt a sense of superiority. After all, they were all SemiGod level experts, and Tang Huan was merely a Peak Level Sky Sovereign, which was similar to how they sensed him.
But he didn't expect that in just a few short decades, the situation would be completely reversed.
Once Tang Huan returned to the "Ruins of God", he went against the will of the heavens, killed the SemiGod Ji Yun, and then forced the semi-divine fire phoenix to hand over half of its blood essence … The current Tang Huan had already become an existence that even they had to look up to. This kind of enormous disparity caused the two's emotions to become extremely complicated.
They were lucky that they did not have a relationship with Tang Huan back then. Otherwise, they would not have suffered as much as Ji Yun and Huo Feng right now.
After a short while, a fiery-red ball the size of a bowl appeared in Tang Huan's hands.
It made one's heart tremble, as if this small ball contained an ancient volcano that had been brewing for countless years. At any time, it could erupt with a terrifying power that could destroy the heavens and obliterate the heavens.
This was the blood essence of the Fire Phoenix! Tang Huan flipped his palm and slowly retracted his arm. The power that covered the body of the fire phoenix also retreated like the tides. An instant later, when the energy completely withdrew, the fire phoenix's delicate body could not help but sway a little. Her face had also turned somewhat pale and her expression was filled with a tiredness and sorrow that could not be left behind …
Grief.
With just a slight reaction, Tang Huan kept the ball of Fire Phoenix blood essence.
Fifty percent of a SemiGod Ranker's blood essence was considered a priceless treasure, but of course, Tang Huan didn't plan on using this for himself. With his current cultivation, refining this blood essence wouldn't have any obvious effects. Therefore, Tang Huan prepared to leave this ball of Fire Phoenix blood essence with Feng Ming.
Feng Ming was born from this fire phoenix's blood essence, if she could refine and absorb this ball of blood essence, her strength would definitely rise by leaps and bounds.
"You can leave now!" Tang Huan waved his hand.
"Yes sir!"
The fire phoenix bowed, not daring to stay any longer. It quickly retreated, and soon disappeared without a trace.
"Brother Tang Huan, we will be taking our leave too."
After a while, Duan Yuan and Song Gao Yang bade farewell to Tang Huan as well. Everything that had happened today was too mind-boggling.
"Brother Duan, Brother Song, please do as you please!" Tang Huan smiled slightly.
"..."
Fire Phoenix, Duan Yuan and Song Gao Yang left in succession. Not long later, only Tang Huan and Xu Que were left in this region.
"Void Rainbow!" suddenly said after sending Duan Yuan and Song Gao Yang off with his eyes.
"Junior is here."
The void rainbow shuddered, then suddenly woke up. The eyes it looked at Tang Huan with, was filled with respect and admiration that it was difficult to conceal.
What happened just now had left him dumbstruck.
To him, whether it was Ji Yun or the fire phoenix, both were existences he had to look up to. Their current cultivation levels were also beyond his reach. However, this kind of a SemiGod Ranker was easily killed by Tang Huan, and there was also a person who obediently handed over half of his blood essence.
In front of Tang Huan, these two SemiGod Stage Rankers did not have any strength to resist.
What shocked the Void Rainbow even more was that even though the will of the Heavenly Dao had been personally displayed to persuade her, Tang Huan still had not changed his mind and killed Ji Yun in one go. Having lived in this world for countless years, had he ever seen a creature that possessed such elegance?
"You should find a place to cultivate. No one will make things difficult for you here." Tang Huan waved his hand.
"Yes!" Thank you, senior! " The Void Rainbow said respectfully.
"..."
After the rainbow quickly left, Tang Huan casually found a place to sit down. After that, he calmed his mind and concentrated.
To Tang Huan, cultivating in any place was of no importance.
This was because while he was cultivating, he didn't need to absorb all the energy in the surrounding space. Instead, he would use the Yan Luo Golden Immortal to absorb the source energy from the Immortal Spirit Ancestral Court. This meant that even if there was no power by his side, he could still cultivate at an extremely fast speed.
As long as it was in an area that could be covered by the Heavenly Dao!
Tang Huan's mind was focused and focused, he did not notice the passage of time at all.
"Boom —"
After an unknown period of time, an incomparably terrifying aura burst out of Tang Huan's body, quickly sweeping out in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, this aura had already spread throughout the entire Divine Ruins.
"This is …"
On a piece of land fragment not far away, the rainbow-colored light suddenly woke up. It looked in the direction of the aura, somewhat bewildered and uncertain.
After a moment, a hint of joy appeared between the brows of the Void Rainbow. From the looks of it, Senior's cultivation had broken through again!
"Divine crystals?"
On another piece of land fragment, Duan Yuan abruptly opened his eyes. His eyes revealed a hint of surprise as he simultaneously muttered these two words. In that enormous aura, there was a hidden intent that transcended the Heavenly Dao. Moreover, this intent was extremely powerful.
From this, it could be determined that Tang Huan had just condensed a Divine Crystal.
Not too far away, Song Gao Yang also cried out and suddenly woke up from his cultivation.
"As expected, Brother Tang Huan is not an ordinary peak Superior Empyrean."
After being stunned for a moment, Song Gao Yang could not help but mutter to himself, "I wonder, how many divine crystals did Brother Tang Huan refine?"
Before, after they bade Tang Huan farewell, Song Gao Yang and Duan Yuan had gathered together and speculated for a long time.
According to their guesses, Tang Huan should have obtained a Divine Crystal long ago, and there shouldn't be just one of them. It was truly inconceivable that a peak Empyrean that had yet to reach the Divine Realm would actually possess a Divine Crystal. If this news were to spread, it would probably cause a huge uproar in the nine heavens.
However, although such a judgement was extremely inconceivable, this was the only possibility that could explain Tang Huan's performance in the Ruins of God. If Tang Huan did not possess many Divine Crystals, how could he have displayed such overwhelming power towards Ji Yun and the Flamephoenix?
After such a conclusion, Song Gao Yang and Duan Yuan came to an even more shocking conclusion.
That was, within a thousand years, or even several hundred years, Tang Huan would be able to prove his success in obtaining the Divine Throne and become the first Divine Realm expert to do so in the last tens of thousands of years.
Now that he felt the terrifying aura that originated from Tang Huan, Song Gao Yang once again thought of this conclusion. The envy in his eyes was completely uncontrollable.
"Tang Huan..."
On a fragment of land at the edge of the Ruins of God, the Flamephoenix softly spat out these two words, her face filled with a bitter smile.
Since Song Gao and Duan Yuan were able to come to such a conclusion, the Flamephoenix naturally wouldn't have thought of it.
During the time she had lost fifty percent of her blood essence, the fire phoenix had indeed hated Tang Huan to the extreme. She was well aware that with the actions she had taken against Tang Huan back then, if Tang Huan was narrow-minded, she could definitely kill him.
Taking half of her blood essence to spare her life could be said to be completely magnanimous to Tang Huan.
If she continued to complain about herself, it would cause her hatred to cloud her reasoning. It would not be beneficial to her in the future. Since this had already happened, rather than hating him day in and day out, he might as well put all other thoughts aside and focus on cultivating, slowly replenishing that half of his lost blood essence.
However, even though the fire phoenix had calmed down, it still felt waves of emotions when it sensed Tang Huan's divine crystal aura.
"The eighth divine crystal!"
At this time, Tang Huan slowly opened his eyes, excitement flickering deep within his eyes.
Next, he only needed to condense another God Crystal to be able to reach the Divine Level. Once he succeeded, he would become the only Divine Level powerhouse in the entire Planar World.
After a moment of happiness, Tang Huan's heart suddenly became anxious.
It would take close to ten years to condense a single God Crystal, but it was impossible for him to stay here to cultivate in peace. Once the time was ripe, the Absolute beginning could notify him to repair the surface barrier at any time.
However, Tang Huan would not drag things out. This was because it was not only related to his own safety, it was also related to the safety of his friends and relatives. It was even related to the safety of the countless living creatures in the entire plane of the plane.
Therefore, Tang Huan needed to make the best use of his time and diligently cultivate. If he could condense the ninth divine crystal before he could truly repair the surface barrier, it would naturally be a heavenly happy occasion. If he could prove the position of the God, then, Tang Huan wouldn't have to worry about anything.
Taking a deep breath, Tang Huan quickly rid himself of all distracting thoughts, and continued to immerse himself in cultivation.
Time trickled by, many years had passed, and Tang Huan seemed to have sensed something, he abruptly stopped his cultivation, opened his eyes and looked towards the right, where he found his landing spot in the Ruins of the Gods. At this moment, there was a strange wave of energy coming from that side.
"It's time!"
Tang Huan sensed something and leaped up.
Just then, Tang Huan caught sight of the majestic mind instructs (in a second): "Tang Huan, get ready." That was the voice of the absolute beginning.
Other orders of the Absolute Beginning, Tang Huan would not necessarily follow them, in case it became an obstacle for him to verify his dao heart, but for this matter, Tang Huan would definitely not reject it, because he had to follow his own heart and not the orders of the heavens.
As a result, after capturing the mind instructs (in a second), Tang Huan did not hesitate at all and shot to the right.
Dozens of kilometers passed in the blink of an eye, and Tang Huan stopped at the side of the exit to the Divine Ruins.
In the blink of an eye, Void Rainbow, Duan Yuan, Song Gao Yang, and the fire phoenix all appeared one after another. It was clear that they had all received mind instructs (in a second) from the Absolute beginning.
The few of them looked at each other without uttering a word. However, they could see the solemnity in each other's eyes.
They all knew that they were at a critical juncture. Whether or not they could successfully repair the surface barrier was up to them. If he succeeded, this world would continue to exist, but if he failed, not only would the Heavenly Dao not escape, all these demigods would also be destroyed.
The exit of the Ruins was originally a white whirlpool with a radius of a few dozen meters. Naturally, it couldn't be compared to the scene of the entrance of a radius of hundreds of thousands of kilometers. It was fortunate that the exit was only this big. Otherwise, the entire Ruins of God would have been swallowed up by the exit whirlpool, never to exist again.
However, at this moment, the movement of the white vortex was gradually weakening. It was even dissipating bit by bit.
That bizarre fluctuation that Tang Huan felt earlier, had precisely originated from this whirlpool. Under the gaze of Tang Huan and the rest, not long after, the white vortex finally stopped. It looked like the exit of the Ruins of God had turned into a ball of white mist, churning endlessly.
"Come in!" After a blink of an eye, Absolute Beginning's mind instructs (in a second) was once again transmitted over.
