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

Chapter 186 Nothing Gained

Just as Taihao woke up, the Nine Netherworld Flames within the barrier began to rage. Hundreds of towering fire pillars relentlessly attacked the barrier set up by Taihao, but the fire pillars only caused ripples to spread across the barrier as they struck it!

The transparent barrier appeared incredibly fragile, yet it remained unfazed by the attacks of hundreds of fire pillars, showing no signs of breaking!

"Haha, it seems you can't hold back any longer, huh? I thought you'd keep hiding it." Taihao said, watching the Nine Netherworld Flames constantly crashing against the barrier!

Just as Taihao was about to open the barrier and directly merge with the Nine Netherworld Flame, the voice of the Heavenly Dao rang in his mind: "Taihao, wait a moment. Let's set up another barrier outside first. Otherwise, once you open the barrier, the Nine Netherworld Flame will disappear completely. At that point, the entire Tianxuan Realm will cease to exist. The terrifying power of the God-Slaying Flame will obliterate me, and the terrifying temperature will reduce the Taihao Realm to nothingness!"

The Taihao Realm is still only a mid-level world. Even if Taihao's strength breaks through and the Taihao Realm benefits greatly, it won't break through that quickly. Therefore, it simply cannot withstand the terrifying power of the Nine Netherworld Fire!

"Alright!" Taihao answered directly, without doubting the words of the Heavenly Dao of the Taihao Realm.

After he finished speaking, a massive amount of energy surged out from his body, and the Heavenly Dao also condensed a massive power of law. The two massive energies instantly merged and then fused together. Finally, Taihao's palms changed continuously, forming a series of hand seals!

The energy resulting from the fusion of Taihao and the Heavenly Dao was constantly changing under the guidance of Taihao's hand seal. Before long, a huge barrier completely enveloped the previous barrier!

Taihao looked at the barrier that had just been set up and nodded in satisfaction. This barrier was far superior to the previous one!

Having broken through to the Great Dao realm, Taihao could already sense some of the power of rules in the universe outside the Taihao Realm!

"It seems the next level is to completely transform the power of laws into the power of rules!" Taihao murmured to himself.

Although Taihao sensed the power of the rules, he did not conduct further research. Instead, he continued to focus his attention on the Nine Netherworld Flame, which was still attacking the barrier!

As Taihao watched the Nine Netherworld Flames constantly darting through the sea of ​​fire, his heart sank slightly. Although his strength had broken through, he knew the power of the Nine Netherworld Flames perfectly well from the Heavenly Dao's perspective!

If he's not careful, he could very well fall victim to this Nine Netherworld Flame!

Taihao first summoned the Chaos Bell, letting it float above his head. A layer of pale yellow energy emanated from the Chaos Bell, enveloping Taihao completely!

He then took the root of the Nine-Bend Heavenly Tree in his hand, and a powerful life force filled Taihao's body. Taihao felt much more comfortable after feeling this rich life force!

Having prepared everything, Taihao slowly walked towards the barrier. As Taihao walked towards the barrier, the Nine Netherworld Flame within the barrier seemed very happy, its flames constantly flickering!

Although the Nine Netherworld Flame has just taken shape, it is formed from the laws of the universe! Therefore, it already possesses a high level of intelligence even though it has just taken shape!

He is very intelligent, but he can't unleash much of his strength. He can only rely on some instinctive attacks, and even though his attacks are very strong, they are still countered!

So although it has been attacking the barrier all these years, it can only rely on some instinctive attacks. Although it looks powerful, its attack power is actually very weak!

This only applies to powerful experts at the Great Dao realm. If an ordinary expert at the half-step Great Dao realm were to enter this place, even a few sub-flames emitted by the Nine Netherworld Strange Fire would be enough to burn them to ashes!

Taihao continuously formed hand seals, and the once indestructible barrier shattered instantly, breaking apart inch by inch like a mirror!

The moment the barrier shattered, the Nine Netherworld Flame dissipated and merged into the surrounding sub-flames, disappearing from Taihao's perception.

Taihao felt somewhat fortunate upon witnessing this scene. If it weren't for the timely reminder from the Heavenly Dao, he would have already opened the barrier, and the Nine Netherworld Flame would have escaped directly from his grasp!

If that were the case, Taihao might even have suicidal thoughts!

The flames burst through the barrier and rushed towards Taihao, for it was this very person who had trapped him here for so long.

This fueled the Nine Netherworld Flame's intense resentment towards Taihao. Now that it had escaped from that cage, it was determined to kill him!

Taihao also looked serious. Even with his powerful divine soul, he couldn't detect the slightest trace of the Nine Netherworld Fire.

Taihao unleashed all his power, his immense magical energy enveloping the entire space. However, in an instant, the powerful Nine Netherworld Flames burned all of Taihao's magical energy into nothingness.

Finally, all of Taihao's magical power was suppressed within a hundred meters of him. This was the first time Taihao had encountered such a situation since breaking through to the Hunyuan realm!

Taihao felt his magical power being suppressed within a hundred meters, which made him feel extremely frustrated!

Taihao poured all his magical power into the Chaos Bell. As Taihao poured his magical power into the Chaos Bell, the pale yellow energy on the Chaos Bell became even more solid!

Then a pale yellow energy bell appeared on Taihao's body, and it continued to grow larger!

Looking at the pale yellow phantom of the Chaos Bell, Taihao felt much more at ease. He was very confident in the Chaos Bell's defensive capabilities! Besides, he still held the root of the Nine-Bend Heavenly Tree in his hand, which gave him even more confidence!

Taihao held the root of the Nine-Bend Heavenly Tree in his hand, and his body was enveloped by the phantom of the Chaos Bell!

However, some of the sub-fires couldn't break through the Chaos Bell's defenses at all, so Taihao stood still, waiting for the Nine Netherworld Fire to attack him. As long as the Nine Netherworld Fire attacked him, he would be able to find his location and capture him!

This was a long process. Taihao stood still, like a majestic mountain standing between heaven and earth, while his surroundings were filled with a sea of ​​fire. But even so, the sea of ​​fire could not do anything to Taihao!

Flames represent destruction, but Taihao, holding the life source of the Nine-Bend Heavenly Tree root, is not afraid of them at all. Moreover, because the flames are too dispersed, as soon as they come into contact with the life aura emitted by the Nine-Bend Heavenly Tree root, they will make a hissing sound and then retreat directly!

Taihao's divine soul power had been searching for traces of the Nine Netherworld Flame, but to no avail. If he hadn't set up a barrier here, Taihao would have thought that the Nine Netherworld Flame was no longer in this space!

However, Taihao and the Heavenly Dao have set up an even stronger barrier here than before, so the Nine Netherworld Flame definitely cannot escape. Therefore, it is still in this space, it just hasn't discovered it yet!
