Everlasting Immortal Firmament

Book 07 Chapter 037: Candle Epoch Azure Lamp

Silver Moon Sea:

Tang Gu, Yun Mo, and Long Sanqian flew quickly with the help of a Middle Heavenly Palace Realm zombie.

Nan Longnu gave relentless chase while a horde of zombies pursued her.

“Halt!” Nan Longnu yelled furiously.

Yun Mo showed an unsightly expression. “What should we do now?”

“Enter the sea!” Long Sanqian said anxiously.

Boom!

The Middle Heavenly Palace Realm zombie carried the three into the sea. They hoped the sea would hide them.

“Azure Lamp Burning the Sea!” Nan Longnu shouted coldly as she tossed the azure lamp in her hand into the Silver Moon Sea.

Burble! Burble!

The entire Silver Moon Sea suddenly started bubbling. Many aquatic creatures instantly boiled to death. Then the sea started evaporating, its level sinking visibly.

Tang Gu and the others fled? No trace remained of them.

Hiding in the Silver Moon Sea? There was no hiding, as Nan Longnu was already approaching.

“Oh no!” Tang Gu’s expression changed.

“Flee! Show me how you are going to flee!” Nan Longnu sneered.

Boom!

Many zombies immediately surrounded Nan Longnu.

“Lord Buddha, I’ll continue to use the azure lamp. Please unleash the flames of the azure lamp!” Nan Longnu called out.

The azure lamp immediately flew back to Nan Longnu’s hand. As she operated it, the flame on it suddenly burst out with a shocking heat, as if a sun had suddenly appeared.

Boom!

A vast flame blasted away all the zombies around Nan Longnu, burning them.

Roar!

The zombies roared in pain. However, the azure lamp’s flame was too powerful, incinerating all the zombies.

Only the Middle Heavenly Palace Realm zombie carrying the three remained.

Nan Longnu immediately blocked the group.

“That’s the eighth-ranked ancient treasure, the Candle Epoch Azure Lamp? The Past Buddha’s treasure?” Yun Mo’s expression changed.

Now, there was nowhere to flee. Nan Longnu operated the Candle Epoch Azure Lamp, and a powerful, destructive aura pressed towards the four. If they tried to resist, they would be incinerated.

“Flee? Hah! Why are you fleeing? Did you find out some secret that you refuse to tell me?” Nan Longnu said coldly.

Tang Gu looked at Nan Longnu coldly without saying anything.

“Also, you, Long Sanqian? To think you have no cultivation at all? You tricked me? You don’t have any cultivation at all. Did your cultivation get sealed? You are the Wu Imperial Dynasty’s crown prince. Why is your cultivation sealed? Unless…” Nan Longnu’s eyes narrowed.

“Bodhisattva, sorry for the earlier offense,” Tang Gu immediately apologized.

He believed that if he could drag this out, his father would send someone to rescue them.

“Offense? Humph! So, you know you offended me? Hah! This Long Sanqian’s cultivation is sealed. Perhaps his souls have been exchanged? Did you obtain the soul exchange technique?” Nan Longnu said with a cold expression.

“I did not.” Tang Gu shook his head.

“You did not? It does not matter. All secrets have nowhere to hide before the Candle Epoch Azure Lamp!” Nan Longnu drove the Candle Epoch Azure Lamp again.

Tang Gu’s expression suddenly changed. Then he snatched the zombie token from Long Sanqian.

“Bring them away!” Tang Gu roared in despair.

Boom!

The zombie shot into the distance, carrying Long Sanqian and Yun Mo.

However, Tang Gu charged towards Nan Longnu.

“White Emperor Cage, Icy World!” Tang Gu shouted.

Tang Gu took out a white crystal and activated it. Space immediately froze, forming a giant ice ball that trapped Nan Longnu inside.

Outside the ice ball, Tang Gu drove the White Emperor Cage enchanted treasure with all his might.

“Little Tang!” Long Sanqian exclaimed in the distance.

“Go quickly! Run!” Tang Gu roared.

Far away, despite Long Sanqian’s desperate struggle, the zombie refused to listen to him, as he did not hold the zombie token. His eyes filled with tears.

Tang Gu was using himself to block Nan Longnu, fighting to give him a chance to leave.

Inside the icy ball, Nan Longnu held the Candle Epoch Azure Lamp and sneered, “The White Emperor’s enchanted treasure, the White Emperor Cage? Do you think it will work on me? I have the Candle Epoch Azure Lamp. Humph! None of you can escape! Candle Epoch!”

Vast flames suddenly erupted from the azure lamp’s wick.

Boom!

A loud sound rang out as the ice ball exploded. The vast flames engulfed the ice ball. Tang Gu could only block for a while, but he could not resist the Candle Epoch Azure Lantern’s flames.

Theft is never good, try looking at .com.

The surging flames swallowed up Tang Gu and the ice ball’s fragments.

“Mother, this child is unfilial! I cannot remain by your side anymore!” Tang Gu said sorrowfully before he burned up.

Boom!

The flames reduced Tang Gu to ashes.

“Little Tang!”

The distant Long Sanqian roared in grief and rage. The old memories filled his mind.

“First Brother, why is Mother always so partial to you? No! I have a share in the glutinous rice cake that Mother made for you!”

“Haha! First Brother, look! Mother secretly made this osmanthus cake for me alone! I won’t give you any. Alright, since I ate some of your glutinous rice cake previously, you may have some.”

“It is all my fault. When I fell sick, Mother went to pray to so many clay idols! I will treat Mother well in the future!”

“What? First Brother, you got bullied? Father ignored that? Since Father ignored that, we will deal with it. Bullying First Brother equals bullying us four brothers! We will deal with him together!”

…

Various scenes of the past filled Long Sanqian’s mind as he cried in grief. Little Tang burned to death to save me? He tried to save me? He got reduced to ashes?

“No!” Long Sanqian roared in grief.

Only Nan Longnu remained in the distance. She held the Candle Epoch Azure Lamp as she walked over.

When the flames burned Tang Gu, they burned the zombie token too. That Middle Heavenly Palace Realm zombie no longer cared about Long Sanqian and Yun Mo. When Nan Longnu flew over, the zombie abandoned the two and fled alone.

“No one can escape!” Nan Longnu said coldly.

Boom!

Nan Longnu flung out the azure lamp and burned that fleeing zombie.

“No one can run! The azure lamp will slowly refine your souls! Die!” Nan Longnu laughed maniacally as she again flung out the azure lamp.

Boom!

Surging flames rushed at Long Sanqian and Yun Mo, threatening to burn them.

The two could not resist before Nan Longnu. Now, they could only wait for death. It looked like they would die in the flames.

Boom!

Suddenly, a gust swept over, raging and blowing the surging flames back at Nan Longnu.

“What?” Nan Longnu’s expression changed.

Boom!

The flames swept back, burning much of Nan Longnu’s clothes. As she held the azure lamp, she saw the figure in the wind, and her expression changed.

Shangguan Hen had arrived and now shielded Yun Mo and Long Sanqian. He looked coldly at Nan Longnu.

“Shangguan Hen!” Long Sanqian shouted.

Shangguan Hen turned his head back to look. He saw Long Sanqian with bloodshot eyes and tears flowing down his face. This is? Is this Crown Prince Gu Qin?𝐟𝓇eℯ𝒘𝙚𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷𝗲Ɩ. co𝓶

“Where’s Tang Gu?” Shangguan Hen asked.

“It’s her! She killed Little Tang! Kill her! Kill her!” Long Sanqian roared in rage and grief.

At this moment, grief and pain overwhelmed Long Sanqian.

Yun Mo remained much calmer. “Based on what she said, Tang Gu’s souls might be in that Candle Epoch Azure Lamp. Snatch it.”

Shangguan Hen’s expression changed as he looked at Nan Longnu.

“Shangguan Hen?” Nan Longnu’s expression changed.

Shangguan Hen did not waste time speaking, immediately charging her.

Nan Longnu’s expression changed, and she operated the azure lamp in her hand.

Boom!

A berserk flame swept towards Shangguan Hen.

“The Candle Epoch Azure Lamp? It is too weak when you use it!” Scowling ferociously, Shangguan Hen chopped down with a knifehand.

Boom!

Shangguan Hen split the flames and immediately approached.

Nan Longnu’s expression changed. “Lord Buddha, save me!”

The candle flame of the azure lamp immediately rushed into Nan Longnu.

Nan Longnu’s figure trembled as a dreadful aura erupted from her body.

“Possessed by the Past Buddha? Humph! Even if the Past Buddha were here in person, it would be useless!” Shangguan Hen snarled.

However, when the Past Buddha’s consciousness possessed Nan Longnu, the azure lamp unleashed a flame over ten times more powerful than before. The flames immediately enveloped Shangguan Hen.

Shangguan Hen’s expression changed as the flames suddenly flared. They would reach Long Sanqian and Yun Mo soon; he could not let them continue growing.

“Die!” Shangguan Hen roared ferociously. 33926

Boom!

Shangguan Hen threw a palm strike, exploding much of the flames. An enormous manifested palm landed on Nan Longnu’s body.

“Argh!”

Nan Longnu screamed in agony before exploding and filling the sky with a blood mist.

Buzz!

The azure lamp trembled, tearing space. Then it entered the spatial tear and vanished.

“What?” Shangguan Hen’s expression changed, as he ended up grabbing nothing.

“The Candle Epoch Azure Lamp traveled through space and returned to the Past Buddha.” Yun Mo’s expression changed.

“Then what about Little Tang?” Long Sanqian’s expression changed dramatically.

Shangguan Hen felt furious. Obeying orders, he had rushed over immediately. However, he had been too late. Just a little earlier. If I were just a little earlier…

Tang Gu died, and I lost the Candle Epoch Azure Lamp. How am I to report this to His Reverence?

“Crown Prince Gu Qin, should we go see Imperial Emperor Gu first? He might have a way?” Yun Mo coaxed.

“Right, right! Father! Father will have a way! Little Tang Gu’s souls are still around. Let’s return and meet Father! Hurry!” Long Sanqian said in a fluster.

Shangguan Hen looked at the two. “I’ll bring you back. That will be faster.”

“Alright. Hurry! Also, my body—Gu Qin’s body—is a fake. We need to report to Father!” Long Sanqian said anxiously.

Shangguan Hen looked at Long Sanqian and nodded. “Your Highness the Crown Prince, His Reverence has already figured it out. Rest assured. He cannot hurt His Reverence!”

“That’s good!” Long Sanqian nodded as he wiped his tears.

Whoosh!

The three returned to Borderless Heavenly Capital at an extreme speed, vanishing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

A large hall in the Spirit Mountain Holy Land:

The Past Buddha waved his hand.

Buzz!

The Candle Epoch Azure Lamp suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

“Shangguan Hen? How did he grow this strong?” the Past Buddha said with an unsightly expression.
