Chapter 222: Abyss Change

Chapter 222: Abyss Anomaly

At this moment, at the suggestion of many Master Level Cultivators, the situation eased, and their attention returned to the majestic Golden Dao Palace.

“That was close. If a Master Level battle really broke out, it would surely cause the sky to collapse and the earth to crack.”

Many people breathed a sigh of relief. After all, when Heavenly Gods fought, it was always the lower-level Cultivators who suffered the most.

“Fellow Daoists, please use your various Divine Abilities to suppress this Supreme weapon!” the Nether Lord said, taking the lead. His body was enveloped in rolling dark mist, and the Death Qi was so dense it was chilling.

Following this, the Celestial Human Clan’s Protector’s pair of ox horns glowed with brilliant divine light. Then, the Lord of Beast Sea unleashed a great Divine Ability; with a single punch, ten thousand Vicious Beasts roared in unison…

The Yin Yang Daoist also made his move. The two-layered bone pagoda on his head displayed its power, unleashing Yin and Yang Qi, evolving Chaos, and suppressing the Golden Dao Palace.

“Boom!”

Another great figure entered the fray, conjuring a divine disk. Though incomplete, its power was astonishing, as if it could send all things in heaven and earth into Reincarnation.

“Reincarnation Disk!” Lin Fan exclaimed in surprise, seeing another incredible Magical Artifact.

Moreover, the Reincarnation power on it was dense, and it shared a common Origin with the celestial seed in his hand, which was incredibly astonishing.

Next, Master Level Cultivators from various sects joined in, using their strongest weapons or powerful Divine Abilities to collectively suppress the revived artifact spirit of the Void Realm Palace.

“Boom!”

In an instant, the area boiled over. Divine light shone brilliantly, runes were like a sea, the Void Realm continuously collapsed, the sky cracked open, and even extraterrestrial meteorites were shaken down.

“Oh my God, if this attack were to land on the ground, I can’t imagine how powerful it would be!” In the distance, a group of people watched, dumbfounded.

At this time, the ancient palace, as massive as a mountain and radiating brilliant light, gradually dimmed and began to shrink under the suppression of the powerful forces.

“It worked!” Some Master Level Cultivators were excited, and at the same time, their minds began to stir.

This was a complete Supreme weapon. If they could subdue it, their strength would surely increase significantly, and the Purple Sun Sect’s divine treasure contained within it was even more invaluable.

However, before these powerful individuals could even contend for it, an anomaly occurred. The Golden Dao Palace suddenly trembled violently, broke free from the Master Level Cultivators’ restraints, and flew into the distance.

This scene was unbelievable. It seemed to be responding to some kind of summons, its artifact spirit revived once more, and its golden light was dazzling, like a long rainbow.

“Chase it, don’t let it escape!” A Master Level Cultivator decisively followed, rushing forward.

Disciples, Elders, and some Loose Cultivators from various sects also gave chase, but their speed was certainly not comparable to those great figures, and they were left far behind.

In fact, once Master Level figures entered the scene, there was generally no longer any chance for other Cultivators. Some people had not retreated simply out of curiosity.

Finally, as the stars shifted, the Golden Dao Palace traveled over 700,000 li through the Void Realm, stopping before a massive abyss before plunging into it.

“This is…”

Everyone’s expressions turned serious as they stared at the abyss, which was tens of thousands of li in circumference. They did not immediately pursue it, but instead hovered above.

This was because this place was once the Purple Sun Sect’s pure land, but it was later shattered by the Devil Emperor’s palm, leaving nothing behind and turning into a barren wasteland.

To this day, one could still feel that power beneath the entire bottomless pit, which was tens of thousands of feet deep, as if it had pierced through the entire continent, a terrifying sight.

“Everyone is already dead, what else do you Fellow Daoists have to worry about?” the Demon Sunflower Garden Master commented, taking the lead and rushing down to the bottom of the cliff.

The other Master Level Cultivators hesitated for a moment before choosing to continue pursuing the Supreme treasure. It was impossible for them to stand by idly and watch it be seized by someone else first.

On the other side, the Butian Sect and others had also arrived. With a powerful Cultivator from their sect leading the way, a distance of over 700,000 li was nothing at all.

And the Heavenly God teams possessed by various sects, such as Celestial Palace, Celestial Human Clan, and Divine Cliff Academy, also plunged into the bottom of the abyss, deciding to follow in the footsteps of the great figures to investigate further.

“Pretty Sister, something feels off down there. It’s different from how it felt last time I came,” Lin Fan felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.

If last time he was amazed by the Devil Emperor’s power, annihilating a great sect with a single palm, this time the aura emanating from underground carried an ominous and terrifying feeling.

Moreover, the abyss seemed to have an additional layer of mist, pitch black, where one couldn’t see their hand in front of their face. Even with a Heavenly Eye, it was difficult to see through.

In the sky, the bright moon was clear, but its light could not penetrate. It was like a black hole, devouring light, and black mist was churning, surging forth.

“We’d best observe for a while longer and not rush down,” Lin Fan suggested, and he asked Yue Chan to throw a ball of fire down to test it.

“Crackling!”

Yue Chan used her Qing Yue Flame. The moment it was thrown down and came into contact with the black mist, it was as if some substance was ignited and purified.

“Indeed, it’s an ominous aura!” Lin Fan immediately became vigilant, realizing something. He ordered them to quickly retreat and not approach the abyss.

“What happened?” The group was puzzled and full of questions.

“This thing is hard to explain in a short time. In short, it’s very dangerous. It can corrode one’s Origin and even make one’s Primordial Spirit disappear.”

Lin Fan frowned. It greatly surprised him, because according to his memory, the appearance of dark matter in the Three Thousand Provinces should be more than ten years later.

Could it be… the Seal has loosened?

At this moment, seeing his expression, everyone knew the seriousness of the matter without needing to think further. They immediately retreated to a mountain peak to observe everything.

Qing Yao looked thoughtful and asked, “Is it related to the demise of the previous era?”

Lin Fan nodded. In fact, it was even more ancient. Dark matter was extremely strange. Once it erupted, even a Celestial would not necessarily be able to withstand its erosion.

“Ah…”

Suddenly, screams came from the abyss below, and it was not just one person. They were extremely shrill, and vaguely, there seemed to be the voices of Master Level Cultivators as well.

“This… what happened at the bottom of the pit? Did a master fall in battle?”

For a moment, the people on the cliff felt a pang of fear and panic. It was truly inconceivable, permeated with a strange atmosphere.

With a whoosh, black mist surged, and several figures rushed out. These were the Master Level Cultivators who had entered the abyss earliest, pursuing the Golden Dao Palace.

But now, every one of them was severely injured. Some had lost limbs, others half a head or half a body, as if they had been bitten off by some Vicious Beast.

Blood was dripping!

Even the color of the Demon Sunflower Garden Master’s blood had changed.

Black!

It had transformed from crimson, lifeless and devoid of its former spirituality, accompanied by an ominous and demonic aura.

At the same time, compared to the thousands of people who went down, the dozens who came up were far too few. It was clear that something terrible must have happened in the abyss.

“Run!”

Suddenly, the Old Ancestor of the Lotus Clan shouted, flinging his robe and throwing Qing Xian far away, looking extremely anxious.

“Old Ancestor…” Qing Xian’s eyes were bloodshot, her face pale. She looked at the old figure, and tears instantly streamed down her face.

Coincidentally, the direction Qing Xian was thrown was where the Butian Sect’s forces were located.

The next moment, Lin Fan took the opportunity to catch her, but before he could ask what had happened, a terrifying voice came from the abyss.

“Hehehe, darkness is the归宿 of all living beings. None of you can escape…”
