492 Extraterrestrial Demon (2)
“Great Dao Realm… Hehe.” The Heavenly Emperor still did not tell Lin Bei his realm and smiled.
What did he mean? Was he going to start a riddle!
Riddlers were really annoying.
Fine.
If he didn’t want to say it, so be it.
Lin Bei once again felt that strength was too important. If it were anyone else, Lin Bei would definitely go up and beat this person up.
Teach him how to speak properly.
However, this riddler was the Heavenly Emperor now. He really had no choice.
The Heavenly Emperor looked at Lin Bei and ignored his thoughts.
Now was not the time to tell Lin Bei these things. The more he told Lin Bei, the more dangerous it would be for Lin Bei with his current strength.
Therefore, the Heavenly Emperor would rather be misunderstood by Lin Bei than say anything else to him.
“Cough, cough.” The Heavenly Emperor coughed twice and began to explain the matter in the barrier to Lin Bei.
“The spatial passageways you see in the depths of the barrier were opened by the Extraterrestrial Demons. They entered the Heavenly Court through these passageways back then.”
“Therefore, these passageways lead to the outer realm. The power inside is very extraordinary. Anyone below the Heaven Splitting Realm will be torn to pieces by the power permeating there.”
“The power of this barrier is limited after all. If anything abnormal happens on the other side of the passageway or the barrier loosens, the consequences will be a destructive blow to this world. It will be even more terrifying than any fear.”
“As the Son of Heaven and Earth, your mission is to guard this Heavenly Demon Passageway.”
“Oh… I see. No wonder the power here is so terrifying!” Lin Bei nodded repeatedly.
When Lin Bei heard the Heavenly Emperor mention this spatial passageway, he felt that his new understanding had increased again!
“Wait!”
“What did you say in your last sentence?”
Lin Bei was still thinking about the Extraterrestrial Demons just now when he suddenly reacted. He wondered if he had heard wrongly.
“You… you mean you want me to go in and guard that passageway? The passageway that leads to the outer realm?”
Lin Bei was stunned. Didn’t he just say that the place would tear to pieces anyone below the Heaven Splitting Realm?
He was only at the Saint Realm! Although he was already nine stars, he was still a major realm away from the Heaven Splitting Realm! Wasn’t this taking his life?
“Heavenly Emperor! I suspect that you’re messing with me!” Lin Bei’s expression was serious as he stared at the Heavenly Emperor.
“Uh… I told you that I would tell you when you reached the Heaven Splitting Realm.”
“You were the one who wanted me to tell you. There’s no need to have such a huge reaction!”
Seeing Lin Bei’s reaction, the Heavenly Emperor felt helpless.
“Is that so? I want to know it? No way?” Lin Bei thought about how he shouldn’t have done it before.
“…”
“When you’re strong enough in the future, you have to come here and guard the Heavenly Demon Passageway. Not now.”
“But this is your mission.”
The Heavenly Emperor’s tone was serious.
Lin Bei felt the pressure around him become a little low. He had just heaved a sigh of relief when his heart rose to his throat again.
“Don’t worry, it’s something I, Lin Bei, should do. I won’t be careless!”
“Haha, it’s fine. I’m still here. You still need to become stronger!” The Heavenly Emperor smiled and told Lin Bei to relax.
Lin Bei felt that the atmosphere was no longer tense.
He was very curious about the Extraterrestrial Demons. He wanted to take this opportunity to ask the Heavenly Emperor. Otherwise, he did not know when he would see them again.
“What’s an Extraterrestrial Demon? I’ve never heard anyone mention it before.”
“Extraterrestrial Demons are actually just a general term for the evil forces outside the Star Fields. There are also many races.”
“Those people don’t lack strength or resources. However, they want to eliminate those forces that they think are a threat to them.”
“At that time, the Heavenly Court was very powerful. They might have targeted us a long time ago, but we didn’t notice it… We thought it was just the evil power of this world. However…”
The Heavenly Emperor said angrily.
“The evil power of this world? Is it the power of fear? Is it also related to the Extraterrestrial Demons?” Lin Bei asked.
“Their true strength should be more terrifying than you think.”
Lin Bei nodded. He roughly knew.
After all, such a powerful faction like the Heavenly Court had been destroyed by the Extraterrestrial Demons. If they invaded the Primordial World, not to mention ruins, there might not even be any left.
“Moreover, it wasn’t just the Heavenly Court that repelled them back then. Many other forces also paid heavy sacrifices.”
The Heavenly Emperor looked regretful.
“Then this Heavenly Demon Passageway is the one we saw? Is it just me who have a mission to guard the passage?” Lin Bei was even more curious.
“No, this isn’t the only Heavenly Demon Passageway,” the Heavenly Emperor replied.
“Then… what about the elders of the 28 Constellations?”
“In the Nine Fields Mystic Realm, there are only phantoms formed by their power. Where did they go?”
“Did they go to guard the other Heavenly Demon passageways?”
Hearing the story of the Extraterrestrial Demons, Lin Bei was even more curious.
“No, you’ll know everything when the time comes. Now is not the time.” The Heavenly Emperor said earnestly.
Alright, I’m used to it. Isn’t he just a riddler! I’ll endure it! Who asked me not to be able to defeat you!
Lin Bei stopped asking questions and cursed the Heavenly Emperor 800 times in his heart.
“Kid, you’re really bold.”
“Ever since I stood in this world, I’ve never seen someone so arrogant even though he knows that I can see through his thoughts.”
The Heavenly Emperor frowned.
Lin Bei slapped his forehead. How could he have forgotten about this again?
“You’re a magnanimous person, so don’t be calculative with me, a weakling in the Order Law realm!” Lin Bei put on a fake smile and said nice words to the Heavenly Emperor.
A man was flexible. He could do it!
“Sigh… Kid, you’d better increase your strength as soon as possible.” The Heavenly Emperor sighed helplessly. He really could not do anything to Lin Bei.
Many things in the future still needed him, the Son of Heaven and Earth, to do.
Otherwise, with Lin Bei’s strength, if he directly suppressed him, this kid would definitely not be able to scold him in his heart anymore.
“Yes, yes, you’re right. I’ll leave first!”
Seeing this, Lin Bei wanted to slip away.
“Wait, do you know where to go? If you run around, you might die.” Seeing that Lin Bei was about to turn around and escape, the Heavenly Emperor grabbed the collar of his neck.
Lin Bei was stunned.
This was the Ruins of the Heavenly Court. He had never been here before, so he really did not know how to get out of here.
Moreover, the Heavenly Emperor was right. His nine-star Saint Realm strength, which he was proud of, was useless here.
If anything happened, he would not be able to resolve it.
It still depended on the Heavenly Emperor, this riddler!
“Hmm… I don’t know,” Lin Bei said softly.
“You dare to escape even if you don’t know? Only you are the Son of Heaven and Earth. If it were anyone else, they would have died a few times in my hands!”
The Heavenly Emperor grabbed Lin Bei.
“Alright, you still have to go to the Azure Dragon Domain to receive the inheritance in the future. It’s not convenient for you to go empty-handed. I’ll help you again.”
With that, the Heavenly Emperor reached out to the space beside him.
It pierced through the barrier of the Ruins of the Heavenly Court and a vortex appeared.
The Heavenly Emperor’s hand pierced through space and fumbled in the vortex a few times.
He pulled it back.
A sorry figure in a red robe was pulled out of the vortex by the Heavenly Emperor and fell to the ground.
“This… What’s going on?” Lin Bei was confused.
He focused his gaze on the person who had been pulled out of the vortex by the Heavenly Emperor.
This red robe, red hair, and these thick arms.
Wasn’t this Hong Yan?
I haven’t seen him for a few days. Did he take some elixir? Why has he become stronger? His realm has also increased.
Wait, the black aura on his body is the power of fear?
Lin Bei looked up at the Heavenly Emperor with a puzzled expression.
“Do you know this person and the black aura on his body?”
Lin Bei nodded. He was stunned. What happened?
