Chapter 1038: Long Tianhuo's Strength
As he looked at the flying artifact, Jing Shen spoke to his emperor via voice transmission. 'Zhu Ling, the cultivation of the owner of the flying artifact seems to have reached the three immortal realms, so I think we can approach him or her and draw him or her to our side.
That way, it will be easier for us to chase Ling Yun and Luxuria, and we can also ask that person to help us clean up the people beside them.'
'You are right.' Zhu Ling replied with an affirmative nod as he waited for the flying artifact to land.
It didn't take long for them to wait, especially since it had landed not far in front of them. However, they were surprised when Long Tianhuo came down from it, especially since he was carrying an ice coffin on his shoulders and Feng Huang was sleeping soundly in it.
'A flame dragon and an ice phoenix?' They immediately recognized their identities, but Zhu Ling and Jing Shen felt confused about Feng Huang, especially since they always thought that the ice phoenix race had become extinct after the first beast war ended. However, they now spotted one, albeit with severe injuries visible.
'Could it be that she managed to escape the massacre by going to the supreme realm? But how could she do that?' Zhu Ling continued to wonder silently as he gazed at them. 'Those mythical beasts hadn't yet reached the three immortal realms during the first beast war, making it impossible for her to travel there on her own.
They should be husband and wife now, and that flame dragon saved her and took her to that place, so she could survive the massacre.'
Long Tianhuo noticed Zhu Ling and Yang's gazes directed towards them, but he ignored them. Instead, he spread his senses throughout the mysterious realm, and then he let out a sigh of relief. "Phew! There are no traces of fighting in this realm, which means those evil people groups have not arrived yet, so Long'er and the others shouldn't have met them yet."
Long Tianhuo then lowered the ice coffin from his shoulder. "Huang'er."
"Mhn." Hearing her husband's call, Feng Huang quickly opened her eyes, and she was a little surprised to see the sky bright. "Have we arrived at that realm, husband?"
"Yes." Long Tianhuo nodded and turned Feng Huang to face the mysterious tower. "This is the tower that the person was talking about back then, and our children should be inside now."
Feng Huang tried to use her senses to check inside the tower, but the formation that enveloped the mysterious tower repelled her senses, causing her to let out a heavy sigh. However, she did not withdraw her senses and inspect the realm; her expression turned to relief after she found no traces of battle. "Husband, those evil people haven't arrived in this realm yet, right?
That means our son should be safe inside."
"Yeah, you're right." Long Tianhuo and Feng Huang frowned when Zhu Ling and Jing Shen approached them. "Hmm? Spirit race members, huh? Are you their emperor?"
"Yes." Zhu Ling then introduced themselves. "My name is Zhu Ling, and he is my advisor, Jing Shen."
"Oh?" Feng Huang immediately spoke to Zhu Ling. "Unfortunately, you made the wrong decision to accept him as your advisor, little spirit emperor."
Jing Shen's face became tense after hearing Feng Huang's words, and both of his fists clenched tightly. However, Zhu Ling responded differently, particularly due to his deep trust in him. "I am his emperor, and I would never mistake the character of a member of my own race."
"Haha." Feng Huang laughed softly at Zhu Ling's answer. "You should have guessed my identity, right? Anyway, you are right that I am a former resident of these upper realms, and my home realm is the phoenix world. Regrettably, the first beast war destroyed my home realm, resulting in the deaths of numerous members of my race.
Fortunately, my husband found me when I was on the verge of death, and he was the one who saved me so that I can still live today. Anyway, I recall that your advisor was one of the old spirit emperor's advisors, and many suspected that he was involved in his disappearance."
"A guess is only a guess if it cannot be proven true, right?" Feng Huang nodded in agreement with Zhu Ling. "Moreover, I had checked his background before I became an emperor and kept a close eye on him, but I never once saw him do anything suspicious, so I completely trusted him."
"How naive you are." Not only was Zhu Ling irritated by Feng Huang's taunts, but Lei Zhong and the spirit guardians were also furious to hear that. However, none of them dared to retaliate against her, particularly after Long Tianhuo unleashed his immortal Emperor-level cultivation aura. "Forget it, husband.
We don't need to deal with people like them, and it would be better if we entered the tower to catch up with our children, especially since I can't wait to meet our daughter."
"All right." Long Tianhuo immediately stored the flying artifact in his storage ring before lifting the ice coffin, and he quickly brought Feng Huang into the tower, leaving Zhu Ling and the others behind.
However, Zhu Ling immediately reminded them. "Hey! Cultivators in the three immortal realms cannot enter the tower due to a restrictive formation, and if you force your way in, the formation will attack you."
"Hahaha!" Instead, Long Tianhuo laughed, took out something, and threw it towards the tower, shocking Zhu Ling and the others, especially since he had managed to bring his wife into the tower without any obstacles.
"What a show off!" Lei Zhong and the spirit guardians wanted to follow them, but Jing Shen immediately stopped them, especially since Zhu Ling seemed to be thinking about something.
Jing Shen then asked his emperor. "Are you doubting me because of that woman's words just now?"
"No." Zhu Ling shook his head at Jing Shen. "I didn't think about that, but I thought about their previous words regarding evil groups."
"Oh, right." Jing Shen felt relieved in his heart that Zhu Ling still trusted him. "Do you think they are as strong as those two people?"
"There is a possibility." Zhu Ling replied with a nod. "If the people who will arrive soon are truly evil and as strong as those two, then it is impossible to deal with them with our cultivation. Even if I summon all of our members to this realm, we still won't stand a chance against them, so I think it would be better if we left this realm and returned to our realm."
Jing Shen and the others frowned after hearing that, especially since they had spent so much time to arrive at the mysterious realm, but they were aware of their strength. They were fully aware that they would not be able to face a cultivator whose cultivation was in the three immortal realms, much less if they had to face multiple cultivators at once.
Zhu Ling then spoke to them. "Even so, we won't go back now, and it would be better if we waited in another area until those people arrived. If we go inside now, we'll definitely meet them later, and we'll have a difficult time escaping from them."
"Yeah, you're right." Jing Shen then took out a flying artifact, and they all immediately boarded it before leaving the area around the tower for another area a little further away.

"Hmm?" Long Tianhuo frowned as soon as he discovered that the strength of the beasts on the first floor was at the heavenly god level. "Huang'er, there seems to be something wrong in this tower, especially since the beasts here should still be in the emperor realm."
"Yeah." Feng Huang nodded in agreement with her husband. "Even though their strength is at the heavenly god level, they are not an obstacle to us, so let's deal with them all at once."
"No." Long Tianhuo immediately rejected Feng Huang. "You don't need to use your strength to fight these small fries, and I alone am more than enough to take care of them."
"Haha." Feng Huang laughed at her husband's words. "All right, I leave them to you, husband."
After that, Long Tianhuo brought Feng Huang to the front of the gate leading to the second floor, where he looked at the beasts and locked them with his senses.
Long Tianhuo then raised his right hand up with his palm facing the sky, and a fireball immediately appeared on his palm, which continued to split until it reached the number of beasts on the floor.
Long Tianhuo, wearing a cold look, swung his hand down. Those countless fireballs immediately attacked the beasts. They didn't even have time to react, especially since his attack speed was really fast, and all of them were turned into ashes in a matter of seconds.
Feng Huang could only shake her head at her husband's actions. "Let's go, husband. I don't know which floor our two children are on, but I'm sure they are on higher floors now."
After that, Long Tianhuo brought Feng Huang to the second floor, and he also cleared all the beasts on that floor with one attack that didn't even use a hundredth of his strength.
