Chapter 1392: Paying Respects On Behalf Of The Husband

When the Faceless Other King's furious cries vanished, the surging worldly natural energy within the Treasure Domain gradually calmed down. Qin Baiyan, Li Jiluo, Li Qingpeng, and the rest of the experts from the numerous powers were elated to see this. With the Faceless Other King retreating, it meant that their dire predicament had been resolved!

They let out cheers of joy as they realized they now had a new lease on life.

At the same time, they sent looks of respect and gratitude towards Tan Tailan.

Some still had complicated feelings in their hearts. They relished the fact that they were still alive, but at the same time, were also wary of her. The power she had demonstrated had terrified them to the core. She was a Greater Transcendent wielding a Transcendent Duke Art!

In terms of strength, she had single-handedly sent the Faceless Other King reeling with heavy injuries. Furthermore, it was clear from how indignant and angry its response was that the injuries suffered were severe and would take a long time to deal.

On top of that, Tan Tailan's return to the Dragon's Fang Lineage would mean that their momentum to the top would not have ceased.

Tan Tailan descended towards where Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e were.

"Mother, has the Faceless Other King escaped? You can't let it go! That beast caused a disaster!" Li Luo said with dissatisfaction.

"I've destroyed one of its crowns, so it has regressed by a whole stage. If a Heavenly Emperor doesn't take action to help it, the Transcendent power I've left behind in its body will forever inhibit any further advancement," Tan Tailan replied.

Li Luo heaved a breath of relief. Destroying a crown was perhaps the most crippling injury a King could sustain.

"However, since it's already set its eyes on you, we truly can't let it off this easily." Tan Tailan's voice changed and her eyes flickered with silvery light, seemingly capable of piercing through space itself.

"The Faceless Other King's life-preserving methods might be impressive, but my space resonance can be considered to be its bane."

She was able to faintly make out a wisp of gray light hiding in the void, attempting to escape at an unimaginable speed.

However, she didn't take action.

"The Origin Reversion Institute's schemes run deep. There are many other chess pieces that have been put into play. There must have been a co-conspirator, and I'll use this frightened mouse to root out whoever it is."

Li Luo clicked his tongue. It seemed he had underestimated his mother's abilities—her intention was to use the Faceless Other King as bait.

"Mother, you are amazing!" Li Luo flashed her a thumbs up with a look full of admiration.

"Let me destroy the black lotus and prevent the Tri-Pupil Enigmatic Fetus from descending with another Fetus. Furthermore, your grandpa..."

When Tan Tailan said those words, she paused slightly and didn't continue. She quickly flew towards the ninth-grade black lotus that was rotating in the air.

The black lotus gave off a bizarre air and emanated energy fluctuations of the King Stage.

When she appeared, the black lotus could sense how strong she was, and the pale arm that protruded from the center of the lotus immediately shot out a blood-red ray of light towards her.

Tan Tailan was unfazed by the black lotus' puny attempt to defend itself, not even removing her hands from the pockets of her coat. The piercing blood-red beam of light suddenly fell apart a hundred feet away from her, transforming into a smelly, bloody water that splashed onto the ground below.

When the bloody water landed, the gigantic mountains that protruded from the earth were instantly liquefied into stinky pools.

Tan Tailan tapped with her finger, and the Heavenly Throne swooped forward through the air, crushing down towards the black lotus arrogantly. The black lotus wailed and the whole world shuddered. Each of its petals burst into flames as it attempted to resist the onslaught.

However, the Transcendent Heavenly Throne's power was simply terrifying. Even the black lotus that gave off undulations of the King Stage was unable to resist.

As it was suppressed by the throne, the void began to distort and crumble. The blazing black lotus was gradually grinded into mere fragments.

As a last-ditch attempt, it shot out countless beams of blood-red energy in an attempt to escape.

Unfortunately, the entire area was in Tan Tailan's grasp. Space rippled and distorted, transforming into countless spheres controlled by space energy. The beams of blood light were sealed within.

She waved her hand, and all of the spheres began to compress, eventually shrinking into the size of a black dot. With a simple

poof

, all of the corruption-tainted blood energy vanished. At this point, the black lotus was completely annihilated.

With the black lotus' demise, the blood-red pillar of light that shot towards the World's End River also began to dissipate.This also meant that the Other Dominion that had once trapped everyone was no longer trapping them. They were now free to leave the Treasure Domain.

In the gap in the World's End River, the humongous eye showed signs of anger.

Just a thought from it caused the World's End River Region to shake, as if the land itself could sense the eye's fury.

A Grand Devil King on the level of a Heavenly Emperor truly had the power to completely destroy the World's End River Region if it chose to do so.

The bright side, of course, was that the World's End River acted as a barrier, and even a Grand Devil King was unable to cross it casually. It would experience great difficulties even attempting to do so without an appropriate summoning artifact.

Tan Tailan completely disregarded the Grand Devil King's might as she raised her head and casually spoke, "Grand Devil King Tri-Pupil Enigmatic Fetus, the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent does not welcome you. Please go back."

"Ke..."

The giant eye rotated, emitting a frightening sound. It then squirmed violently as it attempted to breach the World's End River and pass through the gap forcefully.

Tan Tailan ignored the Tri-Pupil Enigmatic Fetus' actions. Now that the summoning object was destroyed, it couldn't possibly descend anymore. Thus, she turned towards the old man sitting cross-legged in the air.

Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e looked at Li Jingzhe with eyes full of worry.

Li Jinpan and Li Qingpeng hurriedly rushed over, also looking concerned.

Li Jingzhe's bamboo staff was sitting across his knees and his usually cold face looked gentle.

There was no trace of the indifference he always displayed when talking to his children.

Tan Tailan also made her way over. The relationship between her and Li Jingzhe was a little special. After all, he didn't like her all those years ago and had always blamed her for Li Taixuan's actions.

That said, she had a prideful personality, so she couldn’t care less if he liked her or not. She couldn't even be bothered to respond in kind.

When the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin had encircled her and Li Taixuan, the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li had also made their stance clear. They only cared about Li Taixuan. Tan Tailan had nothing to do with them.

Thus, she didn't hold any positive feelings towards the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li either.

That said, these were all matters from many years ago.

After going through all sorts of situations, the feelings of both parties changed.

Furthermore, the only reason why Tan Tailan was able to break through the World's End River was because Li Jingzhe had assisted her. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy with just a space resonance, or perhaps even possible. Most importantly, Tan Tailan had witnessed for herself how Li Jingzhe had stepped up to protect her children.

This action had moved her despite everything that had happened before.

Li Jingzhe didn't have a good temper, but he was an extraordinarily qualified grandpa. In this regard, he had taken even better care of the two than the parents ever did. Thus, Tan Tailan approached Li Jingzhe. The proud back that had never bent to anyone had voluntarily done so as she kowtowed to pay her respects.

"Father, your daughter in law Tan Tailan pays her respects on behalf of her husband. I wish you good health."

Seeing the woman before him, one that had always stood tall and arrogant yet was acting so genuinely, brought a warm smile to his elderly face that was filled with cracks. At the same time, his eyes moistened.
