Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 2046: Chapter 2090: Defying the Heavens

"Get lost!"

Jiang Fan was deeply saddened, not in the mood to discuss any trade with the old monster.

A hint of dignity imbued with anger surged out from the direction of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple.

"When the Daqian Divine Kingdom was still around, no one had ever told me to get lost."

Jiang Fan was about to rebuke again, but Green Pearl caught the implication, tugging at Jiang Fan’s sleeve: "Husband, that person seems to be talking about the Jiangshan First-class Building Owner."

Hmm?

Jiang Fan’s expression suddenly turned serious as he looked towards the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple: "What do you mean?"

The white-robed skeleton spoke calmly:

"I can help you reunite the soul fragments of that Sage."

What?

Jiang Fan executed an instantaneous movement, appearing above the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple, incredulous:

"Someone whose form and spirit have perished can still be resurrected?"

"Are you deceiving me?"

His eyes were sharp, yet filled with intense longing.

Like someone afflicted with a terminal illness, aware of their impending death, yet harboring a glimmer of hope.

The white-robed skeleton chuckled, its voice hoarse like a broken bellows, terribly jarring:

"Life and death are obviously irreversible, but you possess something that might change that."

I have it?

Jiang Fan felt puzzled.

What heaven-defying object could possibly be on him...

Wait!

He took out a colorful scale, and with a thought, a mysterious pendant appeared.

The pendant looked like amber, containing a transparent teardrop inside.

It was the Tear of Time, given by the Yizhu Demon Emperor and entrusted to Yuan Zhiyu.

"You mean this?"

If anything could be considered truly mysterious, it had to be either the Void Ancient Tree or the Tear of Time before him.

The white-robed skeleton spoke slowly: "Indeed."

"I can help you activate it, summoning the remnant soul of the building owner."

Jiang Fan’s eyes flickered, and he said, "I can’t use it myself, and I have to trouble you?"

The white-robed skeleton chuckled: "You?"

"You, with your Heavenly Human Three Declines, lifespan is merely five to six hundred years, dreaming of reuniting a Sage’s soul fragments?"

"Even at my peak, I would have to weigh whether I have enough lifespan!"

Hiss!

Jiang Fan secretly drew a cold breath.

The white-robed skeleton, at its peak, was at least a Saint Realm existence.

Its lifespan should be over ten thousand years.

Could it be that a ten-thousand-year lifespan still isn’t enough to make such a grand wish?

The white-robed skeleton rasped: "A normal soul fragment returns to the great Way of Heaven and Earth; trying to reunite the fragment means opposing the great Way and seizing the soul fragment."

"In other words, it’s acting against heaven."

Jiang Fan’s pupils contracted.

This is truly opposing heaven, the cost must be unimaginably steep.

No, to be precise, how terrifying must this Tear of Time be?

It can actually fulfill a supreme wish contrary to the natural order.

Comparatively, the ten-thousand-year lifespan they sacrificed is just a spark to activate the Tear of Time.

What on earth is the origin of this Tear of Time?

The white-robed skeleton rasped: "The longer the time drags on, the deeper the soul fragments integrate into the great Way of Heaven and Earth, the lower the chances of reuniting."

"Once fully integrated, even the Tear of Time is useless."

Jiang Fan’s face changed as he said, "Are you willing to activate the Tear of Time?"

The white-robed skeleton gave a self-deprecating laugh: "I am a remnant soul; where do I have so much lifespan?"

"I have to use a divine seal remnant in the Thunder God Heavenly Palace as a guide to activate the Tear of Time."

If it were any other place, Jiang Fan might not believe it.

But the Thunder God Heavenly Palace... is indeed filled with endless mysteries.

Jiang Fan said, "Then the trade you mentioned earlier was to give you my insights on the engraved text of the stone tablet?"

He hesitated.

Currently, he had only gleaned a bit of the surface, with which Jiang Fan could freely enter and exit the Thunder God Heavenly Palace.

But if he passes it on to the white-robed skeleton, does it mean he can leave the Thunder God Heavenly Palace?

The white-robed skeleton saw through his concerns, saying calmly: "I have no enmity with the Central Earth, no reason to trouble you."

"In fact, you even have some small favor towards this old one."

Hmm?

Jiang Fan raised his eyebrows; he had no favors with the white-robed skeleton, right?

Before he figured it out, a space storage device suddenly became scorching hot. He opened it and saw.

A golden feather emanating brilliant light.

This was the feather containing Holy Angel Blood that Little Rou had given him!

Jiang Fan looked incredulously towards the Thunder God Heavenly Palace: "Little Rou... is your descendant?"

The white-robed skeleton’s voice turned meaningful: "Otherwise, how do you think a descendant of a Saint would be cleansed from the Northern Heavenly State?"

"Her ancestors must have already fallen or left the Heavenly Realm."

"Otherwise, how could those creatures in the Northern Heavenly State dare to do such a thing?"

Damn!

Jiang Fan patted his forehead, he should have realized this earlier!

He truly didn’t expect Little Rou to be a descendant of the white-robed skeleton!

Unknowingly, he had preserved a strand of bloodline for the white-robed skeleton.

After thinking for a moment, he tossed the golden feather towards the Thunder God Heavenly Palace: "Since it’s your bloodline, take it back."

But, the feather bounced back.

"Since the little girl gave it to you, keep it."

"When you have a chance, refine it early."

Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes.

It seemed Little Rou also specifically asked him if he had refined the Holy Angel Blood within the feather.

When Little Rou asked, he hadn’t taken it seriously.

If an ancient monster like the white-robed skeleton would care about such a small thing?

Could it be that refining the Holy Angel Blood has some hidden implications?

But now wasn’t the time to focus on this. After pondering for a long time, he said, "I can give it to you, but only after I leave Central Earth."

This old monster might not harm Central Earth, but who can guarantee he won’t capture Jiang Fan, forcing him to continue comprehending the tablet carvings once out?

So, he must be cautious.

The white-robed skeleton said: "Okay, no problem."

Such straightforwardness surprised Jiang Fan; wasn’t the other party afraid of him reneging?

The white-robed skeleton said: "I’ll activate the divine seal; you catch it with the Tear of Time, remember to make your wish promptly."

As he finished, the stone cone-shaped Thunder God Heavenly Palace began to tremble violently.

A gray-black stone slab flew out from the Thunder God Heavenly Palace, with a shallow footprint on it.

However, this footprint gave off an indescribable, inconceivable, and unrecognizable eerie pressure.

Jiang Fan tried to gaze at it, but his vision was bizarrely twisted elsewhere when it landed on it.

He wanted to think, but his mind was a chaos.

What... what is this thing?

Jiang Fan was filled with shock.

And from the footprint, a unique Dao’s charm poured out like flowing water, flowing with a rush through the heavens and earth.

The Tear of Time in Jiang Fan’s hand immediately activated.

Crack—

The Tear of Time shattered; an indescribably mysterious supreme Dao mark radiated from it, sweeping across the Hundred Realms of All Heavens, reaching into the deepest unknown.

In front of Jiang Fan, shattered and formless soul fragments began to appear, piecing together into a tiny soul figure.

Completely broken, full of cracks, like a porcelain doll.

Its appearance was unmistakably the Jiangshan First-class Building Owner!

Jiang Fan didn’t dare to breathe, afraid to shatter it with a breath.

He could only roar wildly in his heart, venting his joy.

It actually succeeded!

Wait! Something’s not right!
