Chapter 129: Strong Suppression, Demonic Ape

"Saint, be careful!"

Mu Yuandao roared and flashed, meeting the black-robed man at the third level of the Saint Realm.

The two instantly engaged in battle, and terrifying Spiritual Qi fluctuations swept in all directions.

The ten black-clad killers, however, directly pounced on Zhou Chen.

"Seeking death!"

Zhou Chen's eyes flashed with killing intent; he no longer held back his strength, circulating all his Spiritual Qi, and pointed his right index finger.

"Great Wilderness Sky Imprisoning Finger!"

A giant Spiritual Qi finger instantly condensed, carrying the might to destroy the heavens and earth, and blasted towards the three killers rushing at the forefront.

"What?! Imperial Rank Cultivation Technique?!"

The three killers' expressions changed drastically, but it was already too late to dodge.

Boom!

Wherever the finger shadow passed, space itself trembled.

The three killers didn't even have time to scream before they were directly blasted into blood mist by the finger shadow.

It wasn't that they underestimated him; no one expected that Zhou Chen, whose aura was only at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Stage, would unleash such a terrifying attack.

Even a fool would know that Zhou Chen had hidden his cultivation.

However, Zhou Chen's attack was not over.

"Nine Revolutions Dragon Elephant Skill!"

Zhou Chen's body moved, and a surge of Dragon Elephant power erupted from within him.

His body was covered in a layer of faint golden light, carrying a terrifying Dragon Elephant power; each punch was enough to split mountains and crack stones.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Another three killers were directly blasted apart by Zhou Chen's fists, their blood splattering across the sky.

The remaining four killers were completely stunned.

They never expected that a Nascent Soul Stage boy would possess such terrifying combat power.

"Escape!"

The four killers didn't even think; they turned and fled.

But how could Zhou Chen let them escape?

"Taiyi Golden Light Step!"

Zhou Chen's figure flickered like a ghost, instantly catching up to one killer.

"Divine Concealment Art!"

Zhou Chen's figure suddenly vanished; the killer frantically looked around but couldn't find Zhou Chen's trace.

The next second, a palm reached out from the Void Realm and directly slammed onto his skull.

Bang!

The killer's head burst open like a watermelon.

The remaining three killers were even more terrified, splitting into three different directions and desperately fleeing.

But under Zhou Chen's pursuit, they were quickly killed one by one.

The entire process took less than a quarter of an hour; ten killers at the first level of the Saint Realm were all killed by Zhou Chen, but Zhou Chen's Spiritual Qi was also considerably depleted.

On the other side, the battle between Mu Yuandao and the black-robed man was also nearing its end.

Although the black-robed man's cultivation was higher, Mu Yuandao's combat experience was richer.

After discovering that his subordinates were completely wiped out, the black-robed man's state showed a slight fluctuation.

"A flaw!"

Mu Yuandao seized the Opportunity and slammed a palm onto the black-robed man's chest.

Pfft!

The black-robed man spat out a mouthful of blood, his figure flying backward.

"Trying to escape?"

How could Mu Yuandao let go of this Opportunity? His figure flashed, and he pursued him.

But just then, the black-robed man suddenly crushed a jade talisman.

Buzz!

A black light enveloped him, and he instantly vanished from his original spot.

"Teleportation Talisman?"

Mu Yuandao frowned, "Shadow Blade's foundation is indeed profound."

Zhou Chen flew to Mu Yuandao's side and said, "Old Mu, are you alright?"

"This old man is fine."

Mu Yuandao shook his head, "It's you, Saint; your performance just now made this old man feel inferior."

"It was just luck."

Zhou Chen smiled indifferently.

"The Saint is too modest,"

Mu Yuandao clearly didn't believe him.

"However," Mu Yuandao's expression was grave, "since Shadow Blade has made a move, it means someone truly wants the Saint's life, and those who can hire Shadow Blade are definitely not ordinary forces."

Zhou Chen nodded; he knew the identity of the mastermind, but there were more important things at the moment.

After he finished stealing the Opportunity, he would settle scores with Blazing Fire Holy Land and Wang Yue.

"Never mind, we'll deal with whatever comes our way. Let's continue on our journey."

Zhou Chen composed himself and continued on.

After several more days, Zhou Chen finally reached the border of the North Region Demon Abyss.

Looking from afar, ahead was a vast stretch of dark mountains, with peaks towering into the clouds, shrouded in thick Devilish Qi, making it impossible to see the conditions within.

Occasionally, terrifying beast roars came from the depths, sending chills down one's spine.

Zhou Chen tried to extend his Divine Sense to investigate, but he could only probe a few hundred feet ahead.

When he tried to probe further, his Divine Sense was cut off by an invisible force, unable to advance any further.

"We're here."

Mu Yuandao looked at the scene ahead, his expression grave.

Zhou Chen put away the flying boat, and the two landed on a mountain peak at the edge of the Demon Abyss.

As soon as they landed, Zhou Chen felt the difference here.

The air was not only filled with dense Devilish Qi but also uncomfortable miasma, making one feel suppressed.

Moreover, the gravity here seemed to be a bit stronger than the outside world.

"Saint, from here on, we must be careful."

Mu Yuandao reminded him, "The North Region Demon Abyss is full of dangers; a slight carelessness could lead to death."

Zhou Chen nodded, while secretly checking the surrounding environment, comparing it with the description in the Opportunity panel.

"There's still more than a month until Xue Wuhen arrives; that should be enough."

Zhou Chen followed the guidance of the Opportunity panel and determined the general direction of the Eight Treasures Demon Cave.

"Old Mu, we'll go north."

The two cautiously entered the depths of the Demon Abyss.

The environment here was extremely harsh, with strange rocks and dead ancient trees everywhere.

Various white bones were scattered on the ground, some human, some Yao Beast.

"Roar!"

A heaven-shaking beast roar came from not far away, followed by violent ground tremors.

"It's the Demon Abyss Giant Ape!"

Mu Yuandao's expression changed, "Run!"

The two flashed and quickly left their original spot.

The next second, a giant ape, tens of feet tall, rushed out of the mountain forest.

This Demon Abyss Giant Ape was completely black, with blood-red eyes, exuding a terrifying aura of a Saint Realm second level. Seeing Zhou Chen and the other, it immediately let out an angry roar, swinging its huge fists to smash down.

"Beast!"

Mu Yuandao roared, striking out with a palm.

Boom!

It directly left a shallow scar on the Demon Abyss Giant Ape's chest, obviously failing to injure it.

The Demon Abyss Giant Ape, feeling pain, became even more furious, attacking the two frantically.

"Saint, the Demon Abyss Giant Ape possesses immense strength and usually lives in groups; we shouldn't engage in a prolonged fight, let's go!"

Mu Yuandao urged Zhou Chen while dealing with the Demon Abyss Giant Ape's attacks.

In the North Region Demon Abyss, engaging in major conflicts was the most taboo.

Once more Yao Beasts were attracted, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The two fought and retreated, running for almost half an hour before finally shaking off the Demon Abyss Giant Ape.

"Phew… The Yao Beasts here are indeed fierce."

Zhou Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"This is just the outer region; the deeper we go, the stronger the Yao Beasts become. It is said that in the deepest part of the Demon Abyss, there are even terrifying Emperor Realm Yao Beasts."

Mu Yuandao shook his head.

The two continued forward, encountering various dangers along the way.

There were demon spiders that could spray poisonous mist, shadow leopards that could turn invisible, and packs of demon wolves, but the most terrifying were the Soul-Devouring Ants.

Soul-Devouring Ants were a terrifying Demon Abyss creature, not only infinite in number and fearless of death, but they also had a great restrictive effect on a Cultivator's Spiritual Qi.

Once caught by the Demon Abyss's Soul-Devouring Ants, even a Cultivator at the Holy Lord level would perish on the spot.

Fortunately, Mu Yuandao had been to the North Region Demon Abyss before, and most of the dangers were resolved.
