Without any hesitation, Shen Lang plunged into Tongtian River.

The dark torrent of the river surged, filled with violent space-time energy.

If it were any other monk, he would be strangled into nothingness by the energy of this time and space in minutes.

Heavenly Venerates below the Divine Spring Realm may not be able to resist this level of time and space power.

Fortunately, Shen Lang has a heavenly hexagram plate to protect his body.

But even so, he could still feel the pressure brought by the amazing space-time distortion force in the river, as if a steady stream of strange forces were tearing his body apart.

Although this force cannot cause fatal injuries to Shen Lang, it will hinder him from moving forward.

"Master, releasing the Fenwangzihuo body protector can resist the power of time and space in the Tongtianhe Nei." The lamp spirit inside the Bajing Palace Lantern reminded.

"it is good."

Shen Lang immediately activated the Eight Views Palace Lantern.

Dazzling purple flames gushed out from the lamp and surrounded the whole body, which really dispelled the power of time and space in the river.

In this way, under the protection of the Eight Views Palace Lantern, Shen Lang went deep into the Tongtian River, and soon crossed the thirty-second heaven.

Thirty-three heavens is the top floor of Zixiao Palace, which is still surrounded by the water of the Tongtian River.

Shen Lang leaned out of the river and looked around.

Surrounded by rushing river water, a purple-golden palace stands above the river.

It was like a round of hot purple-gold sun hanging in the air, emitting a bright light, which was extremely conspicuous.

"Master, this palace is the Zixiao Great Hall, and it is also the place where True Ancestor Hongjun practiced in the past. The thing the master is looking for may be there." Deng Ling said via voice transmission.

Shen Lang could perceive that the source of the power of resonance conveyed by the Tianji hexagram plate was in the Zixiao Hall.

He flew out of the river, trying to fly towards the suspended Zixiao Hall.

But when he flew less than ten meters away from the river, his body sank suddenly, and he was crushed down by an irresistible force of forbidden air, and he couldn't get close to the Zixiao hall at all.

"The air-restriction here is so strong, how do I get to the floating Zixiao Hall?" Shen Lang asked the lamp spirit through sound transmission.

The lamp spirit responded: "There is a passage in the center of Tongtian River that can reach the Zixiao Hall. That passage may be hidden by some kind of restriction. The master may wish to go to the center of Tongtian River to take a peek first, maybe you can find something."

"it is good."

Just as Shen Lang was about to march towards the center of the Tongtian River.

A huge vortex suddenly rolled up in the middle of the river in the distance.

The dark river water swirls rapidly with the vortex, like a black hole.

In the blink of an eye, the black vortex had spread thousands of miles away, and it was about to involve Shen Lang in it.

In desperation, Shen Lang turned into a human-shaped blood shadow, using his whole body's divine power to maintain a floating state, so as to avoid being swept away by the vortex.

soon.

The black vortex covered the entire Tongtian River.

In the vortex, a towering monster shaped like a whale slowly appeared!

The giant whale is tens of thousands of feet long, its whole body is red gold, with a pair of huge fleshy wings, and the golden scales on its body emit a gorgeous golden halo, shining like stars!

"what?"

Shen Lang gasped in fright.

"Could this be... the ancestor of Kunpeng?" Deng Ling exclaimed.

"Who is the ancestor of Kunpeng?" Shen Lang asked anxiously.

Deng Ling hurriedly explained: "It is rumored that the mount of True Ancestor Hongjun is the ancient mythical beast 'Northern Darkness Kunpeng', who is in charge of guarding the Tongtian River on weekdays, and Zixiao Sect respectfully calls him the Ancestor Kunpeng."

"Since you know that Tongtianhe has such a powerful guardian, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Shen Lang was almost pissed off by the lamp spirit.

Being able to maintain such a huge size in the gray world, this giant whale is definitely an extremely powerful existence.

The lamp spirit kept complaining: "I don't know that there are such powerful creatures in the long-abandoned Zixiao Palace... It stands to reason that since the ancestor Hongjun has passed away, it is unlikely that the ancestor Kunpeng is still alive."

at this time.

"Aww!!!"

The gigantic Kunpeng monster opened its mouth like a black hole in the abyss and devoured Shen Lang, its terrifying aura made one's hair stand on end.

The moment the giant Kunpeng opened its mouth, an unimaginably strong suction bound Shen Lang tightly, making him unable to move at all.

"Oops!"

Shen Lang was horrified.

Before he had time to resist, he was swallowed by the giant Kunpeng beast.

next moment.

Shen Lang seemed to have fallen into a dark abyss, and his brain became dizzy for a while.
