Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 2088: Chapter 2132: Sit-in Transcendence While Reading

It wasn’t an outside danger that caused their deaths.

Instead, they perished while reading!

In the space before him, there were countless fallen, how many more throughout the entire hall?

Thinking of how he had intended to closely observe the books, sweat broke out on his forehead.

Thankfully, Jian Sankuang appeared, interrupting his actions.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Glancing at the remains of the Sage, Jiang Fan dismissed the thought of searching his belongings and backed away as much as possible to avoid misfortune.

Rustle—

At that moment.

The subtle sound of pages being rapidly turned reached his ears.

Jiang Fan’s expression changed abruptly; someone else was reading here?

He quickly followed the sound and arrived between two rows of bookshelves.

Looking around, the books here were all sorts of storybooks, from romance to adventure travelogues, and even court plotting and schemes.

These ordinary storybooks, usually found among mortals, were also collected in the Library.

It’s no exaggeration to say the Library gathered all the books under heaven.

He couldn’t help but think of Ji Qingxuan, the Princess of Beihai who had a lifelong thirst for knowledge; if she knew of the Library’s existence, she would surely be ecstatic, wouldn’t she?

In the era of the Daqian Divine Kingdom, all knowledge could be found here.

Of course, that’s if the books hadn’t "come to life."

Rustle, rustle—

The sound of turning pages reached him again, and Jiang Fan immediately became alert, clutching the Jade Talisman as he approached cautiously.

Yet, there were no living beings here...

Just as he was pondering, he suddenly bumped into something invisible, a ripple like water spreading outward, pushing him back.

As the ripples spread, Jiang Fan’s pupils shrank.

He saw the nine Great Wine Sacrifice!

And the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis!

They maintained a combat stance, in the battlefield, a book opened, its pages rapidly flipping.

Jiang Fan instantly understood where they had gone!

It seemed when they fought, a book accidentally fell, swallowing both sides’ consciousness into the book.

At this moment, the pages continued flipping, nearing the end.

Jiang Fan’s expression slightly changed.

Did this mean they were about to emerge?

Recalling the terrifying shockwaves from their battle a day ago, he didn’t think twice and retreated hurriedly with Instantaneous Movement.

However.

He was just a bit too late.

As his figure barely disappeared, that book rapidly flipped to the last page.

With a snap.

The opened book slammed shut heavily, two smoke-like shadows fell out, each merging into the bodies of the nine Great Wine Sacrifice and the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis.

Both sides abruptly opened their eyes, and without hesitation, started attacking each other.

The nine Great Wine Sacrifice unleashed a massive Tai Chi Yin Yang Diagram, while the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis thrust his spear.

In an explosive sound akin to creation itself, the Tai Chi Yin Yang Diagram trembled and shattered.

The Blood-colored Long Spear, carrying a destructive force, thrust towards the nine Great Wine Sacrifice!

Looking at the nine Great Wine Sacrifice again, their complexions pale, their eyes filled with deep exhaustion, wounds of various kinds covering their bodies.

Their auras long past their peak.

Clearly, the battle with the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis had drained them dry.

In contrast, the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis still exuded unparalleled ferocity and dominance.

With one spear thrust, the nine Great Wine Sacrifice were powerless to fight.

But, at a critical moment, the Taicang State’s Great Wine Sacrifice decisively grabbed a book of the Daqian Divine Kingdom and opened it.

The Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis let out a heavy cold snort: "Next time I emerge, I will obliterate you all!"

Just as the words fell, he suddenly stiffened, maintaining the posture of thrusting his spear without moving.

The nine Great Wine Sacrifice also maintained their defensive postures, all losing consciousness.

And the book in the hands of the Taicang State’s Great Wine Sacrifice began to flip with a rush.

A stream of clear light radiated out, enveloping both sides, preventing external influence on them.

Simultaneously.

Their brief eruption of shockwaves also produced world-destroying destructive power.

The bookshelves in the original location were all blasted away, countless books chaotically impacting in all directions, even Jiang Fan in the midst of Instantaneous Movement was blasted out.

He opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood, his Taoist body splitting open with countless fine lines, blood gushing out madly.

Yet, this was just the aftermath!

The subsequent shockwaves pressed on with lethal destruction.

Jiang Fan’s face changed drastically.

Was this the leftover shockwave from a Three Calamities Realm battle?

The Divinity Transformation Realm...no, anything below the Three Calamities Realm was like feathers in blazing flames, perishing in moments.

At the critical moment, he was about to take out the Immortal King’s Undying Bell!

But strangely.

A mysterious divine light descended upon the Library hall, and the surrounding scene seemed to reverse like time itself.

The chaotic books were restored and returned to their places.

The scattered bookshelves also returned to their original positions one by one.

The shockwaves that exploded were erased into nothingness under the divine light.

Even the injuries on Jiang Fan’s body were miraculously healed.

A trace of shock appeared in Jiang Fan’s eyes.

Such methods are truly miraculous!

He couldn’t imagine the sacredness of the Library in its complete state back in the day.

Nor dared he imagine the magnificent prosperity of the Daqian Divine Kingdom at its peak.

Thud—

Suddenly, his hand sank slightly.

Looking down, his pupils shrank violently!

It was an ancient book with a bluish-yellow cover that fell into his hands!!!

It must have been during the backward flight, the book slapped onto him, and the hall defaulted that Jiang Fan picked the book to read, so it wasn’t returned to its place.

Luckily, the book was in a closed state.

Jiang Fan broke into a cold sweat, secretly exclaimed: "This is too dangerous!"

He felt like he was holding not a book, but scalding lava, instinctively wanting to throw it away.

Unexpectedly.

After throwing it, the book appeared out of nowhere back into Jiang Fan’s hand.

Can’t even throw it away?

Or does it need to be put back in its place?

He quickly scanned the surrounding bookshelves, his mouth twitching, who knew which shelf this book belonged to!

He could only roughly determine by the book’s type first.

He picked up the book, intending to look at the title.

Unexpectedly, his entire body shivered.

An extreme cold invaded his entire body, making him feel like he was in an ice cellar, his body becoming unbearably stiff.

This feeling was exactly the same as when he first met the Evil Crow Venerable and narrowly escaped with a flick of his finger!

There was only one person who could give him such a sense of oppression!

Jian Sankuang!

Sure enough.

A cold voice carrying a chill came to his ear:

"Found you!"

A wisp of fragrant breath brushed past his ear, spilling onto his cheek!

Jiang Fan stiffly turned his neck.

A face almost touching his own, covered with frost, a beautiful visage appeared in his sight.

The eyes which should have been vibrant were now like two icy pits, emitting a rolling chill.

Gulp!

Jiang Fan gulped hard, not daring to move.

The Taichu Seed, and Jade Talisman in his sleeve, didn’t even have a chance to use.

No matter how fast he acted, he wasn’t as fast as a single glance from Jian Sankuang.

And to kill him, Jian Sankuang only needed a single glance.

He slightly retreated a step, his heart pounding loudly, saying: "Senior, can you give me a chance to explain?"
