Primordial Era: With unparalleled comprehension, I am the Ancestor of Stars.

Chapter 173 The Red Spider Lily

As Taihao entered the forbidden area, he suddenly felt a chill, as a cold killing intent swept over him, and within that killing intent was an aura of destruction.

Upon sensing this energy, Taihao immediately ruled out the possibility that it came from a native of the Life Space, because all the people in the Life Space cultivate the Law of Life, and there is no Law of Destruction to exist there. Therefore, the owner of this Law of Destruction must be an outsider!

Taihao unleashed a palm strike, the power of the Ten Great Laws surging forth instantly, striking the attack and dispersing it.

After Taihao dispersed the attack, he flew directly into the deeper part, but when he entered the deepest part, he found nothing!

The place was filled with the aura of the laws of destruction, indicating that someone had been there just now, but had quickly fled.

Taihao searched the entire place inch by inch and found only one secret room, which looked like someone was cultivating there.

Moreover, the cultivation technique he practices is very powerful, and his strength is no less than his own!

This surprised Taihao. Someone had managed to leave without revealing any aura even after he scanned them with his divine sense. It seemed he would have to go out and ask Gu Deng what else he knew.

Taihao then turned around and left the forbidden area, because there were no clues inside. Taihao only knew that a very powerful person had once existed there, but he didn't know who that person was!

"How much do you know about that top-tier world?" Taihao asked the Lonely Lamp Daoist tentatively.

Upon hearing Taihao's words, the Lonely Lamp Daoist shuddered violently, then said to Taihao, "Your Excellency, let's not discuss matters of that world; I know nothing about it!"

Although that's what the Lonely Lamp Taoist said, Taihao could also discern quite a bit from the fear in his eyes!

This solitary Taoist is hiding something, and he should know quite a bit about the affairs of the top world!

Just as Taihao was about to ask more questions, one of his communication talismans suddenly vibrated!

That was the communication talisman just given to the God-Slaying Ancestor. "Could it be that we've already received news about Manjusaka powder so quickly?" Taihao thought to himself!

He then directly read the message from the communication talisman, but unfortunately, there was no news of Manjusaka powder. The communication talisman given to him by the God-Slaying Ancestor only contained a few words: "Master, I have searched the entire world but have yet to find any news!"

When Taihao saw this, he was both amused and exasperated. "Why did you send a message if you had no news? Were you trying to curry favor or show your loyalty?"

Taihao immediately put away the communication talisman, wanting to continue learning about the top world from the Lonely Lamp Daoist!

Just as Taihao put away the communication talisman of the God-Slaying Ancestor, he felt another communication talisman begin to move, clearly indicating that someone was sending him a message again!

His expression changed slightly after he took out the communication talisman. This was Nuwa's communication talisman, and it was an emergency communication talisman, only used in life-or-death situations!

Taihao hurriedly opened the communication talisman, which contained location coordinates followed by only four words: "Master, save me!"

When Taihao saw this message, his heart sank. It seemed that Nuwa and the others were in danger. Otherwise, Nuwa and Pingxin would never have sent such a message. Even last time, they hadn't used such a communication talisman!

Taihao then said directly to Daoist Gudeng, "I'm busy right now. I'll come find you when I have time. In the meantime, think carefully about whether you want to tell me everything you know about the top world, or continue to keep it a secret!"

After Taihao finished speaking, he broke through the void and disappeared before the Lonely Lamp Daoist!

While traveling, Taihao took out the communication talismans of Nuwa and the others and sent messages to them one by one, but no one replied to him!

This plunged Taihao's heart into despair. If something happened to Nuwa and the others, although they could recover because of the Investiture of the Gods, their strength might be damaged, and their origins would be directly affected, which would be very detrimental to his future plans!

Having not received a reply, Taihao quickened his pace, but due to the distance, he couldn't arrive in time!

Taihao then thought of the God-Slaying Ancestor, the Spirit-Devouring Ancestor, and the Heavenly Sword Sect Master, and immediately took out their communication talismans and sent messages to them all. He first asked about their locations, and after they replied that they were all much closer to Nuwa than he was, they would arrive soon. He then told them to hurry over and make sure to save them!

After notifying several people, Taihao realized that the number of people he could mobilize in this universe was pitifully small!

"It seems it's time to gather powerful individuals and establish a force, so I won't have to handle everything myself! I can finally focus on taking a vacation!" Taihao thought to himself as he traveled.

Deep within the universe lies a world filled with flames, yet within this very world dwell many powerful beings.

People who can survive in such an environment must be incredibly strong! After arriving here, Nuwa, Pingxin, and the others suddenly sensed some of the wonders of this world, so they stayed here to find some tasks that Taihao had given them.

Their search actually led them to some clues, because this place was called the Netherworld, and the flames here had a name: the Netherworld God-Slaying Flame.

It is said that even a half-step Great Dao Realm expert would lose a layer of skin if they came into contact with the Netherworld God-Slaying Flame here!

Even a powerful expert at the Great Dao Realm would suffer badly if tainted by it! There is only one way to be saved from the Netherworld God-Slaying Flame: the Other Shore Flower that grows at the base of the flame. However, the chance of obtaining the Other Shore Flower from the Netherworld God-Slaying Flame is extremely small!

However, the demand for the Lycoris radiata in the Netherworld is extremely high, so many people risk going deep into the Flame Bottom to pick it!

Nuwa and her companions were fortunate enough to purchase a spider lily from a merchant. After their research, they determined that this spider lily was not a red spider lily, but they could detect a trace of the red spider lily's aura from it!

This discovery delighted the group, and they decided to search for it themselves. At first, things went very smoothly, and they even found a path leading directly to the bottom of the Flame. There was no trace of the Netherworld God-Slaying Flame on this path, and they quickly arrived at the bottom of the Flame!

The group searched extensively in the blazing depths, but only found a few spider lilies; they couldn't find a trace of the Manjusaka flower!

Just as the group was about to give up, Huo Ling'er suddenly spotted a spot where there was absolutely no Netherworld God-Slaying Flame!

This surprised them all, as this was the underground of the Netherworld God-Slaying Flame. It was highly unusual that such a place, filled with this flame, contained not a trace of it, so they went to investigate!

Soon, the group found a spatial portal, from which emanated a fragrance of red spider lilies even stronger than that emanating from the flowers themselves!

The group entered the unknown space directly, but Nuwa, Pingxin, Huoling'er, and Xihe were startled when they entered!

Because all that can be seen are spider lilies, a rough estimate suggests that the number of spider lilies here exceeds the number in the underworld!
