No one could hear this sound, nor would they know its source or who its owner was.
He was just a nobody, sleeping peacefully in Lone Cosmos Star... well, never mind.
He was awakened by a glance from his Lineage, which gave him a sense of awareness; otherwise, he probably would have remained asleep for a long time...
They paid no heed to the noise of those ants.
" Ancestral Fire... the aura of the Cosmic Void Raging Flame, not bad..." Deep within the Lone Cosmos Star, the voice sounded somewhat surprised.
Because the clansmen, though not particularly powerful, possessed the Ancestral Fire.
Very well, I should do something... People, just consider this place home.
And at this very moment.
In the void beyond the Lone Cosmos Star, Chen Fan and his companions surveyed their surroundings.
With a loud bang.
A deafening explosion rang out.
Not far away, a powerful Ancestral God who attempted to refine his body using the power of the Lone Cosmos Star was instantly reduced to nothingness and ashes.
They left quietly...
A brief ripple stirred within the river of power, then subsided, and the river returned to its course, flowing and circling as if nothing had ever happened.
No one was surprised; even the Ancestral God were incredibly insignificant here.
Even the gods could only maintain a sense of awe.
The Lord of the Firmament said, " Jade Phoenix Empress, let us join forces to repel this force, open a passage, and enter the Lone Cosmos Star."
The external void is nothing special; what is truly valuable is, of course, inside the Lone Cosmos Star.
This external force can only be considered a natural self-defense mechanism.
The Jade Phoenix Empress nodded in agreement. "That's exactly what I was thinking."
Although either of them could do it alone, it would be safer to act together just in case.
Seeing his master and Jade Phoenix Empress make their move, Yun Zheng coldly reminded Chen Fan, "Brother, step back..."
Master has feelings for Jade Phoenix Empress, and as her disciple, he also feels they are a perfect match, after all, they are both powerful figures in their respective regions.
In that case, he could only take care of Chen Fan with tears in his eyes, lest he be implicated.
Chen Fan turned his head and saw, "You must be Yun Zheng?"
Along the way, Jade Phoenix Empress had given him some pointers on certain things.
Yun Zheng stared straight ahead, gave a cool "hmm," and said nothing more.
The Lord of the Firmament and the Jade Phoenix Empress both unleashed their power, releasing the combined might of two Peak God Emperor.
It was like an invisible, giant hand, trying to force back the interference of that force.
It was at this moment that a bizarre scene unfolded—
The terrifying forces surrounding the Lone Cosmos Star seemed to have reached some kind of consensus and retreated on their own.
It was completely different from the previous violent and murderous aura.
It also formed a passage leading to the interior space of the Lone Cosmos Star.
This feeling seems to be a warm welcome to them?
The powerful onlookers clicked their tongues in admiration. "That's amazing!" The two overlords had effortlessly forced back that terrifying power without even a ripple.
In contrast, the Lord of the Firmament and the Jade Phoenix Empress were both dumbfounded; we hadn't even made a move yet!
What's going on?
His expression was one of astonishment for a moment, followed by a look of seriousness. Something was off.
Something unusual must be going on! They had never seen anything like this before.
Yun Zheng was also taken aback; something was amiss.
Chen Fan could also see that the force had actually retreated on its own.
The Lord of the Firmament was somewhat wary. " Jade Phoenix Empress, this trip seems to be extraordinary."
Jade Phoenix Empress remained noncommittal, "Step aside... It's truly bizarre. We'll see what happens."
" Chen Fan, stay close to me." Then he added a reminder.
Chen Fan quickly followed.
The Lord of the Firmament was puzzled. The Jade Phoenix Empress valued this young man so highly; it seemed he was quite capable.
Then, following the opened channel of power, they easily stepped into the Lone Cosmos Star.
Everything returned to normal.
Some powerful individuals watched helplessly, but they lacked the strength to venture there.
Chen Fan and his group entered the Lone Cosmos Star.
At this moment, it is floating in the air.
The scene before him made it hard for Chen Fan to believe that this was the interior of a forbidden star.
Because it looks quite beautiful, with a dreamlike and unreal quality, it's completely different from the perilous and treacherous environment outside.
Except for the fact that there is no one there.
Knowing Chen Fan was inexperienced, the Jade Phoenix Empress reminded him, " The Lone Cosmos is divided into two sides: one of life, and one of death. The place we are in represents the side of life."
"Life and death?" Chen Fan asked, puzzled.
Jade Phoenix Empress hummed in agreement. "You can understand it that way too. Of course, you can also divide them into good and evil, yin and yang; in short, they belong to two opposing forces."
"But this aspect of life is equally fraught with danger, and one must not be careless."
The gentlest form of death is the most terrifying.
Chen Fan nodded solemnly, indicating that he would stay behind you.
The Lord of the Firmament suggested, " Jade Phoenix Empress, how about we first seek opportunities for the younger generation?"
With them taking action, it's naturally a piece of cake; now it's up to the two boys. But for them, the opportunity at their own level is extremely difficult to come by.
Yun Zheng's eyes burned with fervor. Qin Xiao had really lost out; this kid had probably gotten all the benefits this time.
However, he knew in his heart that whether he could seize the opportunity depended entirely on himself. His master was merely there to help...
Moreover, without his master, he wouldn't dare come to such a place, so this opportunity is extremely rare.
The Jade Phoenix Empress nodded in agreement. "That's only right."
nourish!
Then he looked at Chen Fan and said, "There might be something here that interests you."
What is that?
" The Flower of Life, also the Flower of Taboo." Jade Phoenix Empress's expression was solemn.
Although it would be very helpful to Chen Fan, obtaining this Flower of Life... she herself would have to work hard, and there would still be dangers involved.
" Flower of Taboo?"
"Hmm, a plant born from the Life Origin..." Jade Phoenix Empress paused, "... and extreme vitality, in reality, is worse than death..."
Chen Fan's spirits lifted. He himself possessed the Life Law Origin, and laws were a kind of power, which sounded similar to the Life Origin, but were also different.
The Life Origin has a broader scope, encompassing all things.
Jade Phoenix Empress glanced at the little rascal, "Don't you understand?"
"If we encounter it again, I will certainly retrieve it for you. And if you obtain the Flower of Taboo, it can merge with you, becoming your weapon, unleashing extraordinary power to protect you."
Chen Fan: "..."
So you were afraid I'd kick the bucket.
Then, looking at Jade Phoenix Empress, "Good!"
Jade Phoenix Empress glared at Chen Fan. What kind of look was that? There were outsiders here. Don't do anything rash!
The Lord of the Firmament, puzzled, said, "Since the Jade Phoenix Empress has designs on the Flower of Taboo, let us part ways for now, and then reunite at the intersection of the Life Side and the Death Side..."
After saying that, he left with Yun Zheng, because they also had their own goals. There was no need to join forces for the time being; otherwise, conflicting interests might not be a good thing.
" The Lord of the Firmament has the same intention." The Jade Phoenix Empress did not refuse, watching them disappear.
His gaze then sharpened slightly. " Chen Fan, the place where the Flower of Taboo grows is extremely dangerous. I myself will need some effort. In any case, let's try our luck first..."
After saying that, he was about to pick up Chen Fan and fly away.
But then I heard --
" Jade Phoenix, do you think this is the Flower of Taboo you spoke of?"
