Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 906: Chapter 906: The Secret of the Jade Phoenix Throne (Part 3)

Kui Xing was very calm.

Nothing unexpected.

“I knew you wouldn’t be honest, kid.”

“If it were elsewhere, you might have gotten away.”

“But this is the Underworld.”

“This is my territory.”

He looked in the direction Jiang Fan was fleeing, raised his hand, and gave a light squeeze forward.

Puff—

The Thunder Dragon, galloping forward, suddenly collided with something invisible and disintegrated on the spot.

If Jiang Fan hadn’t quickly wielded the Purple Sword, using Sword Flight, both of them would have likely fallen.

“What happened?”

Jiang Fan gazed suspiciously at the invisible space ahead.

Scanning with powerful Soul Power, he was shocked to discover an invisible barrier ahead.

It was like some sort of Array, but not as resilient.

Xia Chaoge glanced at it and said, “It’s the ability of a Magical Treasure.”

“This alien race called Kui Xing can utilize the abilities of this building.”

Magical Treasure?

Jiang Fan was slightly stunned: “You’re saying that the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion is a Magical Treasure?”

Xia Chaoge nodded gently: “Yes.”

“Otherwise, how do you explain such a vast Underworld underground?”

“And it’s one layer after another?”

“There’s only one explanation, the entire Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion is actually a gigantic Magical Treasure.”

“Each layer is a space within that Magical Treasure.”

Jiang Fan was shaken.

But on closer thought, it was the most reasonable explanation.

Like the lakeside scenic space he saw in the Divinity Transformation Relics pavilion.

However.

Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion is much more colossal and complex than that pavilion!

Also much more mysterious.

“That Kui Xing should be from here and of significant status.”

“So he can control the isolation capabilities of parts of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.”

Xia Chaoge took out a talisman and threw it forward.

With an explosion, ripples spread out in the space.

She frowned slightly, forming hand seals, and said, “I have a Cultivation Technique that can break the barrier.”

“But it requires time.”

Jiang Fan turned to look at Kui Xing, approaching unhurriedly.

They didn’t have any time to spare.

He immediately pulled out a small golden hammer.

It was the Array Breaking Hammer he had extorted from the Rebellious Guy.

Gripping the hammer, Jiang Fan smashed it forward hard.

Crack—

As if something had been torn apart, the invisible barrier crumbled and fell apart.

It seems the Array Breaking Hammer is effective against barriers formed by Magical Treasures like these.

He immediately used Cloud Shadow again, rushing forward to escape.

“Oh?” Kui Xing looked surprised: “You can actually break the barrier of the Underworld?”

“That’s unexpected.”

“But, how much can you break?”

He waved his sleeve.

As Jiang Fan flew not too far, he sensed layer upon layer of spatial barriers that were endless.

By the time they broke through each one, Kui Xing would have caught up.

At this moment.

Xia Chaoge completed her seals and gently pushed forward.

A golden beam shot out from her hand seal, breaking all the dense spatial barriers along its path.

Jiang Fan was startled.

What kind of strange Divine Skill is this?

But he didn’t dare hesitate and immediately disappeared, riding the Thunder Dragon.

Kui Xing’s ever-calm expression finally changed.

“How can this technique appear in this place?”

In a moment of distraction.

Jiang Fan had already vanished without a trace.

He couldn’t help but be annoyed: “Can you really escape from me?”

Tracking the Thunder Power’s trace, he decisively pursued.

Jiang Fan performed Cloud Shadow nine times in succession, ultimately crossing most of the Ninth Layer.

Very close to the Transmission Array now.

As the two slightly relaxed.

Suddenly.

An earth-shattering explosion occurred on the horizon.

Another Black Crystal had been shattered.

However.

What surprised Jiang Fan was.

Amidst the massive mushroom cloud, several phoenix shadows were dancing.

The phoenix shadows flew toward this place.

Upon getting closer, they discovered.

Among the phoenix shadows, there was actually a jade-carved phoenix chair.

Ye Banxia sat on it, unharmed.

Unaffected by the explosion at all.

Jiang Fan’s pupils constricted.

He finally understood why Ye Banxia said this jade-carved phoenix chair could increase the Tribulation Crossing probability by thirty percent.

Such a violent explosion, yet it could protect its master from harm.

During tribulation, sitting on this jade-carved phoenix chair would significantly reduce the damage from Heavenly Tribulation, wouldn’t it?

Jiang Fan’s heart pounded.

Ye Banxia also noticed them, casting a light glance at Jiang Fan before heading for the Transmission Array.

“What a remarkable chair,” Xia Chaoge marveled:

“It seems to have a force of Space Power.”

“Capable of timely protecting someone within, shielding them from external harm.”

Jiang Fan’s heart raced, eager to take it out for study.

But suddenly.

He felt a huge suspicion arise in his heart.

Something’s not right!

This was already the second time he couldn’t wait to take out the jade-carved phoenix chair for research.

Each time spurred by Ye Banxia’s intentional or unintentional words and actions.

The first time, Ye Banxia suddenly told him the jade-carved phoenix chair could increase Tribulation Crossing probability.

The second time, Ye Banxia herself encountered danger, showcasing the magical function of the jade-carved phoenix chair.

If he hadn’t noticed anything earlier.

Now, Jiang Fan had a faint suspicion.

Was the explosion just now deliberately triggered by Ye Banxia, meant for Jiang Fan to see?

Wouldn’t Jiang Fan, once tempted, research the jade-carved phoenix chair immediately?

Could there be a problem with this jade-carved phoenix chair?

Once taken out, would it trigger some trap?

Remembering how Ye Banxia had set up the gravity Array in front of the mausoleum cave.

He confirmed his suspicions, filled with a sense of dread.

“No wonder this woman never urged him to return the jade-carved phoenix chair.”

“Turns out, there’s a hidden mystery with this chair.”

“She’s been waiting for Jiang Fan to trigger the trap on it.”

“But Jiang Fan, having too many treasures, couldn’t bother, leaving the jade-carved phoenix chair in a corner collecting dust.”

“Never having a chance to study it, she had no choice but to appear, subtly enticing Jiang Fan to use the jade-carved phoenix chair.”

Understanding the story.

Jiang Fan wiped the sweat off his forehead, “What a scheming woman!”

“Almost fell for it.”

“But I have the Array Breaking Hammer.”

“The trap on this jade-carved phoenix chair might not be able to harm me.”

He smiled slightly.

Once more, he used Cloud Shadow, flashing to the front of the Array.

The two wordlessly jumped onto the Array, using the Space Jade Token to activate it.

Buzz—

The Array activated immediately.

A white beam enveloped the two of them.

Just as they were about to successfully teleport.

The Array suddenly stopped functioning.

“What’s happening?” Jiang Fan’s face changed as he looked around.

Nothing seemed to have interfered with the Array!

Until he looked down.

Jiang Fan discovered a thick layer of Yin Qi covering the Transmission Array.

It obscured the Inscription, causing the teleportation to fail.

In the distance came Kui Xing’s calm laughter.

“Quite surprising, isn’t it?”

He stood with hands clasped, speaking lightly: “The Underworld is my territory.”

“Anyone wishing to leave must first ask my permission.”

Kui Xing could even control the spatial Arrays of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion!

This was completely unexpected!

Jiang Fan’s expression turned serious.

Now they were truly in trouble.

His Thunder Power was running low, not enough to escape far.

Looking at Kui Xing drawing near.

Jiang Fan glanced at Xia Chaoge beside him.

He might still be useful, possibly keeping him alive a little longer, but Xia Chaoge was certainly going to be killed.

His mind raced.

Thinking about all the methods he had.

If it were a Second-stage Nascent Soul, they might handle it.

Three Apertures Nascent Soul…

A sense of suffocation enveloped him.

Suddenly.

He thought of something, his eyes brightened, but there was hesitation.

He glanced sideways and said, “Chaoge, are you willing to take a gamble with your martial uncle?”

“A gamble that might cost us our lives.”
