Chapter 593: The Shock of the Ancestral Court

Mei Gongzi was intently watching the lines Tang San was drawing. And just like the Peacock Great Demon King, she felt that her understanding of spatial power seemed to be increasing and undergoing some changes.

When the people from the Aetherhorn Merchant Association brought the items Tang San had requested, the array on the living room floor, with a diameter of five meters, was almost completed.

Tang San had requested some metals and gems. He cut the metals and gems into appropriate shapes and sizes and began embedding them into the array diagram on the floor.

There was a specific sequence to the embedding, requiring the infusion of bloodline power and spiritual power. Each time a gem or piece of metal was embedded, the array would undergo some invisible energy changes, forcing the Peacock Great Demon King to increase the energy of the barrier he had set up to prevent energy fluctuations from leaking out.

Misty silver light gradually began to rise from the array.

"Will this array remain after we teleport away?"

Tang San shook his head. "No, this is a one-time teleportation array. It will be destroyed after we teleport away. Even if the ones intercepting us are Emperors, at most, they can use their divine consciousness to observe the surroundings of the Ancestral Court. They

might

be able to detect our departure, but it’s simply impossible for them to stop it. At most, they can chase us as soon as they discover it. And if we teleport far enough, breaking through their blockade will become easier."

The Peacock Great Demon King took a deep breath, somewhat relieved. But then, his line of questioning continued in another direction. "Is it possible to make it permanent?"

Tang San replied, "I need to do some research to find the optimal arrangement, and of course it will require more materials. Each teleportation consumes a lot of energy, after all. But suppose we have sufficient materials in the future, plus enough space to set up an ultra-large teleportation array. In that case, it's not impossible to teleport directly from Kali City to the Ancestral Court."

The Peacock Great Demon King felt as if his understanding was being overturned. As the absolute master of space in this generation and the leader of the Peacock Demon clan, he most definitely could not achieve this, and he was quite certain that even his ancestor, the Peacock Demon Emperor, could not. The knowledge of space that the young man before him displayed far exceeded what the Peacock Demon clan had.

"Although I don't know how you obtained the bloodline power of our Peacock Demon clan, if we can return safely... I will grant you a position within our clan. I hope you can—"

Tang San cut him off. "I need to set up the formation's core. Thank you, City Lord, but I really don't need any position. Being Little Mei’s personal guard is enough for me."

As he spoke, he threw out six gems, each landing at one of the array's six corners. Immediately, the previously misty silver light surged brightly, turning the entire room into a sea of silver.

"Enter the array," Tang San said in a deep voice.

The Peacock Great Demon King and Mei Gongzi quickly stepped into the array.

Tang San had the Peacock Great Demon King stand at the center of the array and said to them, "In a moment, we will infuse the array with our bloodline power together. As I said, this is a single-use array; I set the direction, but the distance we can teleport depends on how much bloodline power we infuse. Ideally, we shift across two or maybe even three main cities."

The Peacock Great Demon King’s eyes widened.

Teleporting across three main cities meant they could directly cover one-third of the distance from the Ancestral Court to Kali City! Never in his life had he ever heard of something like that. Even a master of space like himself, giving it his all, would need fifteen to twenty leaps to reach Kali City, and he would have to rest and recover in between.

Teleporting one-third of the way in one go would definitely be beyond all their opponents' expectations.

"Begin!"

They infused the array with their bloodline power following Tang San's instructions. Instantly, the silver light on the array surged, growing intensely. A terrifying silver halo expanded in the air, almost instantly breaking through the barrier previously set by the Peacock Great Demon King.

The silver light shot up from the White Tiger Hotel, piercing the sky.

Before a giant statue on a peak of the Ancestral Mountains surrounding the Ancestral Court, the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor stood quietly, with his eyes closed.

At the moment the silver light erupted within the city, his eyes opened, his already released divine consciousness suddenly intensified, and a trace of a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Found them!"

But in the next moment, his cold expression turned to astonishment. The silver light flashed and vanished instantly. He could clearly feel something piercing through his divine consciousness, then crossing space and disappearing in a flash.

Although he could tell the direction in which the other party had left, the teleportation seemed almost...

infinite

.

How could this be possible? How far have they teleported?

Nobody understood the Peacock Great Demon King’s abilities better than his old enemy, and he was naturally aware that the Peacock Great Demon King couldn't possibly teleport this far!

But the facts were right before him, and reality was as it was. They had disappeared, shifting instantly beyond his divine consciousness's perception range.

The entire Ancestral Court was alarmed. Almost immediately, a figure appeared in the sky above the White Tiger Hotel. A fierce killing intent burst forth, enveloping the entire hotel. The divine consciousness probes that followed were all repelled by this killing intent, unable to penetrate further.

The White Tiger Demon Emperor hovered coldly in the air, his divine consciousness silently enveloping the White Tiger Hotel, a strange look flashing in his eyes.

"How was this done? Long-distance teleportation? Since when did the old peacock have such abilities?"

In the next moment, several figures appeared near him but did not approach.

A powerful voice sounded, "White Tiger, what's going on?"

"Teleportation, I suppose. It seems like an array, but it was destroyed."

"Can we take a look?"

"No!"

The White Tiger Demon Emperor's response was immediate and decisive. A fierce killing intent burst forth, intimidating everyone around.

Those formidable figures gradually dissipated, each harboring their own thoughts. But there was no doubt that they were all affected by the intense spatial fluctuations earlier. They had never felt such strange spatial fluctuations before.

Many things were well known, such as the feud between the Crystal Phoenix clan and the Peacock Demon clan. Since becoming an Emperor, the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor had been constantly devising ways to target the Peacock Demon clan, with his sights firmly set on Kali City. All the Emperors were aware of this, and some even tacitly approved. After all, there were only so many main cities, and only an Emperor could be fully certain that their rule would not be disputed by others. This was an unspoken rule.

The Peacock Great Demon King bringing his daughter to participate in the Ancestral Court Elite Competition was thus unexpected for many demon clans. The battle between the Peacock Great Demon King and the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor in Kali City was no secret, and those who paid attention knew all too well how it had ended. The Peacock Great Demon King had suffered severe injuries and was even on the verge of death, which had caused quite a stir among the upper echelons of the Ancestral Court.

After all, the former Peacock Demon Emperor had been the most powerful space element user, and her ability to peer into the secrets of the heavens was not something that could be replicated. Even the Ancestral Court, especially the demon clans of the Empyrean Dominion, did not wish to see such a powerful clan perish. Therefore, some powerful figures had warned the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor to be patient and wait. If the Peacock Great Demon King passed away, action could be taken. At that time, the Peacock Demon clan would naturally be unable to resist.

But no one had expected that the Peacock Great Demon King, who was critically injured and at risk of death, would take a completely different approach and bring his daughter to compete. Everyone understood this was a demonstration to the Ancestral Court, showcasing his successor. Interestingly enough, this successor was not only

not

a pure-blooded descendant, but even possessed human blood!
