Tang Rao opened his mouth, then slowly nodded.

He had no reason not to be suspicious.

The Nine Realms and the Seventy-two Domains had been in countless years of struggle against the Heavenly Demons from beyond their territories. Their understanding of the external Heavenly Demons could be described as exceptionally thorough. It was likely that even the Heavenly Demons did not understand themselves as well as humans did.

Even so, the Nine Realms and the Seventy-two Domains had never discovered where the happy frenzied demons came from or how they appeared.

These beings always seemed to just exist suddenly, appearing out of nowhere.

Even the most powerful frenzied demons from beyond didn't know their own origins.

This, he had asked the Bloodthirsty Demon before, who knew nothing about it.

Even the Bloodthirsty Demon did not know how it was conceived. In its memory, it had always been in this form; it had never experienced an infant phase.

"If that's really the case, then things have truly become complicated," Tang Rao looked up at the sky.

"Chen Tuan, what else are you hiding..." Tang Rao suddenly muttered, feeling that Chen Tuan might know something about this matter.

Tang Rao had always been suspicious of Chen Tuan's identity.

If he was from Blue Star, then why did he appear in the Nine Realms and the Seventy-two Domains? Why hadn't the Nine Realms and the Seventy-two Domains discovered Blue Star before he set up the Heavenly Dao barrier? It didn't make sense.

If he wasn't from Blue Star, then why did he come here? Why protect this place? Even willing to give up anything, even his life, for it. There is no hatred without reason in this world, nor is there love without reason; it still made no sense.

"Who is Chen Tuan?" Fang Jinxiu asked.

"Don't worry about that for now, I'll take you back to the Moon. Yan Wei will coordinate with you there," Tang Rao said, placing a hand on Fang Jinxiu's shoulder.

Tang Rao didn't go directly to the Moon but instead sent Fang Jinxiu to the teleportation point, instructing her to use it to return to the Moon.

As for himself, after letting go of Fang Jinxiu, he once again left through a Space Rift.

When Tang Rao reappeared, he had arrived at the Nine-Headed King Hall, in the middle of those nine high towers, where the Space Rift had originally appeared.

"Enter!" Tang Rao crushed a talisman Chen Tuan had once given him.

The moment the talisman was crushed, a huge Black Hole appeared in front of Tang Rao, and the next moment he was pulled in.

Time passed, and it was uncertain how long it was before Tang Rao's feet touched the ground.

It was the very place where he initially found Chen Tuan's Sky Palace.

The palace was still floating in mid-air, but Tang Rao felt an aura that was slightly different from before.

Before, this place was filled with various Spiritual Beasts, but now it was like a dead zone, completely devoid of any sign of life.

Tang Rao slightly frowned and charged straight toward the Sky Palace.

The Sky Palace didn't reject him, and Tang Rao easily entered.

The grand hall was still the same as before, identical in every way.

Tang Rao just stood there silently, not uttering a single word.

"You... you've come after all..." After a long while, a tremendous voice echoed within the hall.

Chen Tuan.

"You tricked me!" Tang Rao shouted loudly.

Chen Tuan fell silent, and after a long while, he let out a sigh.

"Actually, it's not so much deception, it's just that I didn't want you to come into contact with those things too early. Because it would have been pointless, you lack the strength to influence them," Chen Tuan said. "Of course, you still lack the strength now."

"Tell me everything you know. Is Blue Star really the true nest of the Heavenly Demons from beyond the domains?" Tang Rao yelled.

"Whether it is or isn't, what can you do about it? If I said it was, what do you plan to do?" the voice of Chen Tuan asked.

Tang Rao was silent. If Blue Star really was the nest of the Heavenly Demons from beyond the domains, what could he do? Blow it up? Moreover, if it could become the birthplace of such maniacal demons, it definitely wouldn't be so easy to destroy.

"What I can tell you is that the extraterritorial maniacs as you know them are so weak they could hardly be weaker. To be clear, even the likes of Bloodthirsty Demons or a Ten-winged Demon Dragon, which you consider extremely powerful extraterritorial crazed demons, are actually just defective products, mere trash, not even worth being called shrimp soldiers or crab generals," Chen Tuan said.

Tang Rao stood with his mouth open, trying hard to digest Chen Tuan's words.

Ten-winged Demon Dragon, trash? Defective product? Shrimp soldiers and crab generals?

"The real battlefield has never been in the Nine Realms and the Seventy-two Domains," Chen Tuan said with a bitter smile. "Everyone thinks that achieving the path of immortality allows one to become a supreme being. How ludicrous, the so-called path of immortality is actually the beginning of tragedy. Ridiculous... ridiculous!"

"I don't understand what you're saying."

"Tang Rao, if you can, never set foot on the path of immortality. Because, you will regret it," Chen Tuan's voice was very serious, full of warning and persuasion.

"What on earth is going on? Explain it clearly to me," Tang Rao shouted loudly.

"Actually, you don't have to worry. You don't have to worry about Blue Star attracting the extraterritorial crazed demons, because they simply don't dare to come. Even the Ten-winged Demon Dragon doesn't have the courage, unless it no longer wishes to live. Otherwise, do you think my Space Barrier could have lasted so many years? Do you really believe that the extraterritorial demons are stupid enough not to detect a mere Space Barrier? What you need to do is to make sure that Blue Star is not encroached upon by the Nine Realms and the Seventy-two Domains, which, of course, you have already done, and done very well. Just keep going like this, and you might be able to step into Half-step Great Perfection or even true Great Perfection, but remember my words, never ever step into the path of immortality, never ever..." Chen Tuan's voice grew fainter until it completely vanished.

As Chen Tuan's voice disappeared, the entire Sky Palace began to shake, to crack and crumble, everything surrounding it collapsing.

Tang Rao was also squeezed out of the Sky Palace by an utterly irresistible force.

Outside the palace, space was also fragmenting, countless Space Rifts began to form, the whole space was like destruction itself.

"Buzz!" And just at that moment, the Sky Palace in front of Tang Rao was completely destroyed, and a stroke of golden light arose from the ashes.

It was a small palace exactly like the one before, only the size of a palm, emitting a golden brilliance all over.

"Whoosh!" After spinning twice in the air, the golden small palace hurtled towards Tang Rao at high speed.

Tang Rao didn't even have time to raise his hand to block. The golden small palace smashed directly onto his head, settling in with a clang.

The next moment, Tang Rao felt the golden small palace secure itself in his sea of consciousness, spinning leisurely.

Before Tang Rao could explore what the golden small palace was, his entire body was sucked into a Space Rift. In the end, he was flung out and fell onto the ground in the middle of the high tower at Nine-Headed King Hall.

"Damn..." Tang Rao stood up cursing. He felt awful, like he was being controlled, being manipulated; he hated this feeling the most.

All his efforts, everything he had done before, seemed like they were just fulfilling Chen Tuan's trap.

This made Tang Rao feel like a fool.
