Shen Lang did not hesitate and plunged into the Tongtian River.
The river flows darkly and surges, filled with violent space-time energy.
If it were any other monks, they would be strangled into nothingness by this space-time energy in a matter of minutes.
Even the Celestials under the divine spring realm may not be able to withstand this level of power of time and space.
Fortunately, Shen Lang has the Tianji Guapan to protect his body.
But even so, he could still feel the pressure brought by the river's astonishing distortion of time and space, as if a steady stream of strange forces were tearing at his body.
Although this force cannot cause fatal injuries to Shen Lang, it will hinder his progress.
"Master, releasing the Burning Purple Fire body can resist the power of time and space in the Tongtian River." The lantern spirit in the Jinggong lantern reminded.
"good."
Shen Lang immediately activated the Jing Palace lantern.
Dazzling purple flames surged out of the lamp and swirled around the body, indeed dispelling the power of time and space in the river.
In this way, under the protection of the Jinggong lantern, Shen Lang went deep into the Tongtian River and soon passed through the thirty-second heaven.
The Thirty-Third Heaven is the top floor of Zixiao Palace, which is still surrounded by the Tongtian River.
Shen Lang leaned out of the river and looked around.
Surrounded by rushing rivers, a purple-gold palace stands on the surface of the river.
It was like a purple-gold scorching sun hanging in the sky, emitting bright light and extremely conspicuous.
"Master, this palace is the Zixiao Palace, and it is also the place of cultivation of True Ancestor Hongjun in the past. What the master is looking for may be there." Deng Ling said.
Shen Lang could sense that the source of the resonance power conveyed by the Tianji Trigram Pan was in the Zixiao Hall.
He flew out of the river and tried to fly towards the suspended Zixiao Hall.
But when he flew less than ten meters away from the river, his body sank suddenly and was pressed down by an irresistible force of forbidden air. He was unable to approach the Zixiao Hall at all.
"The air restriction here is so powerful, how can I reach the floating Zixiao Hall?" Shen Lang asked Deng Ling in a voice message.
Deng Ling responded: "There is a passage in the middle of the Tongtian River that can reach the Zixiao Hall. That passage may be hidden by some kind of restriction. The master might as well go to the middle of the Tongtian River to take a closer look, maybe he can make some discoveries."
"good."
Just as Shen Lang was preparing to head towards the center of the Tongtian River.
In the distance, a huge whirlpool suddenly rolled up in the center of the river.
The dark river water rotates rapidly with the vortex, like a black hole.
In the blink of an eye, the black vortex had spread to thousands of miles, and Shen Lang was about to be sucked into it.
In desperation, Shen Lang turned into a humanoid blood shadow and used all his power to stay afloat to avoid being swept away by the vortex.
soon.
The black vortex covered the entire Tongtian River.
From the whirlpool, a giant whale-like giant beast slowly rushed out!
The giant whale is thousands of feet long, with a red-gold body and a pair of huge fleshy wings. The golden scales on its body release a gorgeous golden halo, as bright as a star!
"what?"
Shen Lang was so frightened that he took a breath of cold air.
"Could this be...Saint Ancestor Kunpeng?" Deng Ling exclaimed.
"Who is Saint Ancestor Kunpeng?" Shen Lang asked anxiously.
Deng Ling hurriedly explained: "It is rumored that the mount of True Ancestor Hongjun is the ancient divine beast 'Kunpeng of the North Ming Dynasty'. He is responsible for guarding Tongtian River on weekdays. The people of Zixiao Sect respectfully call him the Holy Ancestor Kunpeng."
"Since you know that there is such a powerful guardian of the Tongtian River, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Shen Lang was almost angered to death by the lantern spirit.
Being able to maintain such a huge size in the gray world, this giant whale beast is definitely an extremely powerful being.
The lamp spirit complained endlessly: "How did you know that there are such powerful creatures in the long-abandoned Zixiao Palace... It stands to reason that since True Ancestor Hongjun has died, it is unlikely that Holy Ancestor Kunpeng is still alive."
at this time.
"Ouch!!!"
The huge Kunpeng beast opened its huge mouth like a black hole in the abyss and engulfed Shen Lang, its terrifying aura making people's hair stand on end.
The moment the Kunpeng beast opened its huge mouth, an unimaginably strong suction force bound Shen Lang to death, making it impossible for him to move at all.
"Oops!"
Shen Lang was shocked.
Before he could resist, he was swallowed by the giant Kunpeng beast.
next moment.
Shen Lang seemed to have fallen into a dark abyss, and his brain felt dizzy.
In a daze, the lantern spirit's exclamation rang in his ears: "Master, beware, this is the magical power of the divine beast Kunpeng to devour the heaven and earth!"
Shen Lang was awakened by the voice of the lamp spirit.
Feeling the unparalleled devouring power all around, he couldn't help but feel horrified.
Before he knew it, more than half of the divine power in his body had passed away!
If he were delayed for a few more breaths, his physical body and soul would be sucked dry and he would become the nourishment of this Kunpeng divine beast.
Critical moment.
"Blood nerves, open!"
Shen Lang tried his best to use the devouring technique of blood nerves, trying to resolve this devouring force.
It must be said that blood nerves seem to be the nemesis of all devouring techniques.
As soon as Shen Lang activated his blood nerves, he immediately resisted the devouring power of Kunpeng's belly.
"drink!"
He mustered up all his energy and pushed his blood nerves to the limit.
Shen Lang's whole body erupted with dazzling blood. Not only did he completely resist the devouring power of the divine beast Kunpeng, he was also able to reversely devoure the energy around the abyss!
After ten breaths of time, Shen Lang's previously lost divine power could not help but be completely restored, and even absorbed a lot of power from Kunpeng's body and fed it back to himself.
During this process, he discovered that this Kunpeng was not an entity, but a ray of remaining soul, and it was a very weak soul.
This ray of soul had no intelligence and only had the idea of ​​protecting Tongtian River, so it regarded Shen Lang as an intruder and attacked him.
It has to be said that the power of the mythical beast Kunpeng is quite amazing. Just a ray of remaining soul can transform into a physical body on its own, and it can also display such terrifying devouring magical powers.
With this devouring magical power alone, I am afraid I can kill the Heavenly Lord in the Divine Spring Realm!
If Shen Lang hadn't been able to use his blood nerves to counterattack, he would have been digested long ago.
But on the other hand, such a powerful remaining soul can be regarded as a great tonic for Shen Lang.
The mythical beast Kunpeng has the characteristic of devouring all things, and the power of the soul is gathered in its belly.
Shen Lang then absorbed the power of the soul from the belly of the divine beast Kunpeng.
A steady stream of energy poured into his body and soul like an overwhelming river, and his aura was rising steadily!
Not long after, Shen Lang's cultivation level skyrocketed to the peak of the Divine Origin Stage.
Unfortunately, the remaining soul power of this divine beast Kunpeng is too weak to support Shen Lang's attack on the late stage of the Divine Origin Realm.
His cultivation finally reached the peak of the Divine Origin Stage.
Kunpeng's body was sucked dry by the power of his soul, and his physical body gradually collapsed.
Shen Lang breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the giant mythical beast Kunpeng disappear.
The lanterns who witnessed the whole process were shocked and speechless.
The magical power that Shen Lang displayed was simply too unbelievable!
He has never seen a heaven-defying method that can devour high-level creatures with low-level cultivation. Even the legendary Hunyuan Taoist magic can't do this, right?
