Rise Of The Demon God

Chapter 1439

Long Chen had finally managed to locate the Rainbow Phoenix, but he had no way to get to it.

Moreover, he felt that the Rainbow Phoenix was absorbing the energy from the last godly Star. At least it seemed that way. He didn't know what exactly it was doing.

Long Chen kept observing the Rainbow Phoenix, but suddenly, he saw the Rainbow Phoenix glance in its direction.

"Hmm?" The phoenix was too far, so there was no way she could see him, but still, he felt like she was looking in his direction.

He stepped away from the telescope and stopped looking at the Godly Star.

"What should I do about her? Tell the others her whereabouts in hopes that they will take me with them to the higher realms? No, I can't take the Rainbow Phoenix from under their eyes if I told them. Moreover, it would be counterproductive as well."

He looked up without the telescope, sighing. "Another headache. I'll need to find a way to get to it alone."

Just as Long Chen was lost in thought, a door behind him opened.

"You reached here first?"

A calm voice came from behind Long Chen. He turned around, finding Long Hu behind him.

'This guy also got here? How? I thought the portals could only be used by one person at a time? Unless he took the long route?'

'I can't let him look through the telescope. It's angled in such a way that the first thing he'll see will be the Rainbow Phoenix.'

Long Chen stepped back, hiding the telescope behind him.

He smiled. "Yeah, I was lucky. The formation led me straight here."

Long Hu rolled his eyes and started looking around. "So many artifacts. Did you touch anything?"

"Not yet," Long Chen replied. "I just got here."

While speaking, he sneakily changed the angle of the telescope and its direction.

"What are you hiding behind you then?" Long Hu asked, lazily glancing at Long Chen.

"Hiding?" Long Chen asked, amused. "I'm not hiding anything."

He stepped aside, revealing the telescope.

Long Hu walked to the telescope and looked through it.

Through the telescope, he was able to see the vast space. He also moved the telescope around, looking at some stars.

Seeing him do it, Long Chen was slightly concerned. In fact, he was even prepared to slice the head of Long Hu if he actually saw the Rainbow Phoenix.

Fortunately, Long Hu didn't waste much time on it. After looking at a few stars that looked identical, he stepped back.

He walked to other artifacts in the room. Long Chen smiled in the back, happy that the information was safe. However, he was still a bit disappointed that he wasn't able to take any artifacts from here.

"It's good that you didn't touch any artifacts. You would've had everyone killed otherwise," Long Hu said, observing a stone tablet that had some words written on them.

"What? Why?" Long Chen asked, confused. He couldn't read the language of beasts, so he didn't read such things.

"All the artifacts are under the protection of the temple. You can touch them, but when you take them away from this room, the entire temple gets sealed for an eternity. It's written right there," Long Hu said.

"It's lucky that I got here right after you. If not, you might've taken some, and you would've doomed us all. There's a reason that humans are known as greedy creatures after all."

He moved over to other artifacts, which was a small glass vial that only had one droplet of blood.

"This blood... I wonder who it belongs to. It's filled with incredible strength," Long Hu said, observing the blood. "If only I could've taken it back."

Sighing, he stepped away after observing the vial. He moved over to the other artifacts.

In the meantime, Long Chen walked over to the blood droplet. He could also feel that the blood contained immense power.

Long Hu was right. If he weren't here, Long Chen would've taken the artifacts here, unaware of the consequences. However, he was just so immersed in the telescope and the discovery of the Rainbow Phoenix that he wasn't able to think about anything else momentarily.

Next, Baihu Yang also reached the room.

"The room of artifacts... The crown jewel of the Temple of Origin," he said, smiling. "I feel like I'm late to the party."

"There is no party. We can't take any artifacts from here. The entire temple will be sealed with us inside," Long Chen said, sighing.

"Hmm?" Baihu Yang was also surprised after hearing that, but Long Hu pointed at the stone tablet.

After checking the tablet, the white tiger heir nodded. "That's correct, but at the same time, it's disappointing. We're standing at the treasure trove, but we can't take even one."

"We're not here for treasures," Long Hu replied. "Don't forget the aim. We're here to locate the Rainbow Phoenix. We need something that can help us locate it."

"I know," Baihu Yang let out, rolling his eyes. He also started checking the surroundings.

Before long, Baihu Yang moved over to the telescope and started looking through it. However, instead of moving towards the stars on the right, he moved to the stars on the left since the telescope was resting at the fourth star.

"The Godly Stars certainly look majestic," he muttered, taking off his eyes.

"I see nothing here that can help us find the Rainbow Phoenix. There are many artifacts, but we can't even touch them. I wonder if the trip was a complete waste," he continued.

"Most probably," Long Hu said. He turned to leave. "The answers we need aren't here. At least not in this room."

He left the room, leaving to check other places if there were any.

Soon, Baihu Yang also started leaving, but just as he reached the door, he noticed Zhu Chang coming from the distance. "You're late, young one. The party is already over. There's nothing here."

" But just remember, for everyone's sake, don't move any artifacts from their place. I don't want us to be sealed because of your mistake."

"What are you talking about?" Zhu Chang asked, confused.

"Read the stone tablet inside," Baihu Yang responded before leaving.

Zhu Chang seemed confused as he stepped inside; however, he became slightly surprised to find Long Chen there.

"You're already here?" he asked in surprise. "Did the portal you select bring you right here?"

"Something like that." Long Chen smiled.

"I had to take the long route," Zhu Chang sighed. He walked towards the only stone tablet he could see in the room.
