Almost as soon as Duan Lingtian and the others were sucked into the tear in the void, Tang Xuan, the Sect Leader of Zoroastrianism, unleashed his energy on the light shield formed by the blood-red sword rays.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
…
Following a series of loud booms, small mushroom clouds appeared on the side of the light barrier one after another. Terrifying shockwaves also spread out in all directions.
In just a blink of an eye, the huge courtyard was reduced to rubble.
Moreover, the shockwaves continued to sweep out in all directions after the courtyard was reduced to rubble.
A few moments later, half of Tang Xuan's mansion was reduced to rubble. Smoke and dust filled the air as though it was the end of the world.
However, Tang Xuan did not seem to notice this at all.
Naturally, it was not that he did not notice this at all. It was just that he was distracted by something else.
"H-how's this possible?!"
Tang Xuan was shocked when he discovered this.
When his power whizzed out and slammed into the circular light shield in front of him, no matter how the void outside shook and distorted, the circular light shield remained unmoved, as if it had not suffered any damage at all.
Although Tang Xuan did not use his full strength earlier, he had used 70 to 80 percent of his strength.
Even a defensive technique cast by a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage would not be damaged by his energy.
The light shield formed by the blood-red sword rays hovered motionlessly in the air.
The tear in the void that appeared out of thin air and sucked Duan Ling Tian and the others into it gradually disappeared as though it was never there in the first place.
Tang Xuan could only watch on helplessly.
"Sir … Who are you?"
At this moment, Tang Xuan did not have the time to care about Duan Ling Tian and the others. He looked at the light shield that was formed by tens of thousands of blood-red sword rays and asked solemnly, "What's the matter?"
The circular light barrier hovered in the air, seemingly separating two different worlds from one another.
Earlier, he did not have the time to examine it.
However, when Tang Xuan carefully examined the light shield, he could clearly sense a terrifying aura. It was as though the aura was capable of destroying everything.
Apart from that, Tang Xuan had also witnessed the invincibility of the Demonic Beast through the probing earlier.
To a certain extent, a powerhouse who could form such a light shield with his or her own strength had transcended the mundane realm.
Tang Xuan was well aware of this.
After all, he had encountered such a powerhouse a few decades ago.
That was a god-like powerhouse!
Up until now, Tang Xuan was still horrified when he recalled the strength that expert revealed with every single move, and he felt a strand of coldness rise from the bottom of his feet to his head.
However, as soon as Tang Xuan finished speaking …
Whoosh!
The circular light barrier formed by tens of thousands of blood-red sword glows disappeared in front of Tang Xuan's eyes with a gentle gust of wind.
It was as though it had never appeared.
All of a sudden, Tang Xuan was the only one left standing in the void.
Apart from that, there was a huge ruin.
Gasp!
After a long while, Tang Xuan finally regained his senses. He could not help but gasp.
The light shield formed by the tens of thousands of blood-red sword rays had disappeared without a trace in just a blink of an eye.
He knew very well what this meant.
This meant that the light shield was not weak at all.
That light shield was formed by a powerhouse with just a wave of his hand.
'Just a wave of his hand, and his technique is so powerful … I'm afraid such a powerhouse would be extraordinary even in the Devata Realms!'
Tang Xuan's breathing quickened when he thought of this. At the same time, he looked around vigilantly.
However, he could not find anything even after he looked around for a long time. …
In the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.
Outside a dilapidated village.
Rip!
Accompanied by the sound of something being torn apart, a hideous and terrifying crack appeared in the void. The crack continued to expand until it was ten meters long before it stopped expanding.
After it stopped expanding, it began to shrink rapidly.
It was as though a spring had been pulled open. After it was released, it began to shrink rapidly.
As the crack shrank, three figures rushed out from it. It was a purple-clothed young man and two women who looked exactly the same but had completely different temperaments.
One of the women was carrying a little girl who was fast asleep in her arms.
"Huo Lao!"
The purple-clad young man's expression changed drastically when he saw the four of them. He cried out in agony.
The two women regained their senses when they heard the purple-clad young man's cry. They immediately looked at the purple-clad young man.
"Young master, what's wrong?"
The woman with the temperament as gentle as jade looked at the purple-clad young man worriedly. She had a concerned expression on her face, and when she asked, her tone was filled with anxiety.
However, the purple-clothed young man acted as if he did not hear the woman's words. He continued to stand there with a pained expression on his face. His body continued to tremble as if he had encountered something that caused him great pain.
"Duan Lingtian?"
The cold-looking woman with the little girl in her arms looked at the purple-clad young man with a frown on her face.
The purple-clad young man was none other than Duan Lingtian.
Just a moment ago, he, the two women, and the little girl were still in Zoroastrianism in the Upper Province's Western Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.
However, at this moment, they had traveled through space and arrived in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.
During this process, Duan Lingtian discovered that he was no longer in the Lower Province.
Not only had he lost contact with Huo Lao, but he had also lost contact with Huo Lao.
Not only that, but even the connection between him and the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda had disappeared as well.
The Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda had long acknowledged him as its master, and there was a bloodline connection between them. However, the bloodline connection had disappeared without a trace!
When Duan Ling Tian saw this, he immediately speculated, "What's going on?
Huo Lao must have used some forbidden technique to self-destruct the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda to protect them and forcefully tear open the space barrier between the Upper Province and the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land to send them back to the Lower Province!
If the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda had not been destroyed, how could the connection between them have been severed?
'If the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda is destroyed, Huo Lao won't be able to survive!'
Duan Lingtian's heart trembled violently when he thought of this.
Ever since he had obtained the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and met Huo Lao, the scenes of Huo Lao helping him flashed before his eyes.
Now, in order to protect him, Elder Huo did not hesitate to sacrifice himself!
"Huo Lao!"
Duan Lingtian cried out in grief again as he knelt down to pray for Huo Lao's soul in heaven.
Although Kerr did not know what had happened, she did not know who the Huo Lao that Duan Lingtian had mentioned was.
However, she could clearly feel her man's pain. Due to this reason, she immediately knelt down with him and silently stayed by his side.
Gan Ru Yan stood at the side with a confused expression on her face.
Not only was she confused by Duan Lingtian's action of kneeling, but she was also confused about why she had suddenly appeared in this place.
"T-this place seems to be the Lower Province?"
The Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in this place was far from the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. However, it gave Gan Ru Yan a sense of familiarity. It was as though she had been to the Lower Province before.
"Kerr …"
Duan Lingtian who had been kneeling for a while finally spoke in a hoarse voice, "We've already returned to the Lower Province … The reason we were able to return to the Lower Province from the Zoroastrianism estate in the Upper Province is because Huo Lao sacrificed himself!
He sacrificed himself to forcefully tear open the void and send us back to the Lower Province. That's how we managed to escape from the Sect Leader of Zoroastrianism! "
When Duan Lingtian reached the end of his sentence, apart from sadness, there was a hint of disappointment in his voice as well.
Upon hearing Duan Lingtian's words, Kerr finally understood everything.
She finally understood why her man was in so much pain and why he was kneeling in the void.
As it turned out, it was all because of Huo Lao who had sacrificed himself to save them and send them back to the Lower Province!
"Huo Lao, thank you for saving Young Master and us. Thank you."
Following that, Kerr kowtowed three times to the void as well. A hint of sadness could be heard in her voice.
Although Kerr had never come into contact with Huo Lao before this, and she did not know about his existence, the kind-hearted Kerr was still saddened by what Huo Lao had done.
"Huo Lao?"
After learning about what had happened, Gan Ru Yan also kneeled and kowtowed three times to the void with a solemn expression on her face.
At this moment, some of the questions in her heart were finally answered.
It was no wonder Duan Lingtian thought Huo Lao, the pagoda spirit of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, had sacrificed his life and the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda to save them from the Sect Leader of Zoroastrianism and send them back to the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.
This was because of what Duan Lingtian had experienced earlier. He could only come up with such a conjecture.
Apart from this, he could not think of any other possibility.
Most importantly, he discovered that the connection between him and the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda was no longer there.
Unless the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda was destroyed, how could it have lost its connection with him?
However, was this really the truth of the matter?
…
In the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. Somewhere outside the Zoroastrianism's estate in the Western Province.
A young man dressed in a blood-red robe hovered in the air. A seven-level exquisite pagoda lay quietly in his hand.
If Duan Lingtian was here, he would definitely be able to recognize it with just a glance.
