The next day, the gathering point in the city suddenly became very crowded. Many of the Sovereigns actually set off together. After gathering outside the city, they soared into the sky and set off into the distance.
This large-scale movement undoubtedly came as a shock to many groups at the gathering point, as some of them were not qualified to participate in the congregation. Therefore, they could not get any information about the Four Ancestor Relics, and it was even harder to discover the cause of the big hoo-ha.
However, there were also some smart teams that moved quickly, hanging in the distance behind the big group. As for these tails, the large army in front of them did not pay attention to them. According to Qin Bubai’s statement, the location of the Four Ancestor Relics would inevitably have many strong men from the Extraterritorial Race converging on it. If they fought, these covetous fellows would have brought it upon themselves.
…
Mu Chen and Wen Qingxuan’s teams also followed this big group, keeping a safe distance from some of the other teams. Of course, almost all of the teams did the same.
Although they were barely counted as one camp, everyone knew that the inheritance of the Four Ancestors was extremely limited. Obviously, when the demand was more than the supply, the others were competitors when it came down to it. Towards competitors, it was necessary to maintain the necessary vigilance.
“That’s a really strong parade.” During his journey, Mu Chen looked at the great parade and sighed. According to his estimate, there were at least dozens of elite teams in this great army that were the most powerful in the Ancient Holy Gulf.
“It shows that the Four Ancestor Relics are very dangerous,” Luo Li said gently, her face grave.
Mu Chen nodded, as the trip was too dangerous to compare with their previous trip to the Spiritual Butterfly Relics. If he wanted to obtain the “Eight Budur,” he would have to face not only other competitors but also the strange Extraterritorial Race.
Mu Chen looked at Luo Li and said seriously, “The situation in the Four Ancestor Relics remains unknown, and if we are separated, you must not be rash.” Luo Li also had her task, which was to get the “Great Spirit Heaven Destroying Light” of the Great Spirit Ancient Clan. However, she was only a Lower Earthly Sovereign and did not have much power against the numerous Complete Earthly Sovereigns in this Holy Gulf.
If he was with Luo Li, he would be able to help her with all his might. However, he was worried that the Four Ancestor Relics would be out of their control. In case of separation, he was worried that Luo Li would encounter danger.
Feeling Mu Chen’s concern, Luo Li smiled gently. Her exquisite and beautiful face seemed to be the most beautiful thing between heaven and earth. She nodded and said, “Rest assured, I will not try to overexert myself. And… Don’t underestimate me just because I’m a Lower Earthly Sovereign. I have my own methods, too.” Luo Li blinked cheekily at Mu Chen as she teased him.
Mu Chen froze, then immediately nodded. Since Luo Li said so, that should mean she had made some preparations.
Luo Li’s gaze swept out as she said softly, “If I’m not wrong, the lady next to Xuan Luo should also be a prospective Holy Maiden of the Great Spirit Ancient Clan, whose goal is also to get the ‘Great Spirit Heaven Destroying Light.’”
“Oh?” Mu Chen’s gaze grew serious as he saw the delicate lady beside Xuan Luo. She was also a stunning beauty. “How do you know?”
“Women’s intuition. She watched me too many times and too vaguely.” Luo Li smiled brilliantly.
Mu Chen was speechless but immediately smiled and shook his head. Women’s intuition was really scary. They had a very high sensitivity even to subtle glances.
“That woman is rather shrewd.” Mu Chen pondered. Although he had not come into contact with the woman, he could see she was obviously a resourceful and charming person. He could always see the presence of other powerful Complete Earthly Sovereigns by her side.
This was completely different from Luo Li. In the city, many Sovereigns had approached because of her beauty, but all of them got a cold response from her. Luo Li did not want to use such methods to keep these Sovereigns around.
Luo Li smiled. This woman was shrewd, indeed. “Don’t worry, I’ll be careful of her.”
Mu Chen nodded. Although this prospective Holy Maiden might be shrewd, one could not underestimate Luo Li. She could pull the Luo God Clan back from the brink of falling apart and return it to normal circumstances. The clan was even beginning to thrive. This showed that her intelligence was comparable to her beauty. As long as Luo Li was careful to keep her guard up, it would not be so easy for the woman to pose any threat to her.
As they finished conversing, they suddenly realized that the big troop’s speed had begun to quicken. Apparently, Qin Bubai, who had taken the lead, had accelerated. Thus, they did not speak much more and followed closely with the others.
The great army went on for a whole day and night. When the night came, the great army began to rest. When the second morning came, they hurried again. At this full speed, by the twilight of the second day, they realized that the speed of the great army had begun to slow down once more.
Qin Bubai’s resonant voice rumbled like the thunder. “Gentlemen, we are about to arrive at our destination!”
There was an uproar in the great army, and they looked far ahead where there was an indiscernible abyss on the earth. The abyss was indescribably large, resembling an endless black pit. Seen from afar, it was like a creepy black hole on the earth.
On one side of the abyss, it seemed as if there was a bright sun suspended in the air, emitting endless light. Darkness shrouded the other side of the abyss, and demonic energy rose from it as if it were a demonic realm. Light and darkness continued to erode each other. The space was shattered under this erosion as space windstorms howled.
As they gazed at the terrible erosion over the endless abyss, Wen Qingxuan’s voice rang out. “This is the Fallen God Abyss!”
“Fallen God Abyss?” Mu Chen froze.
“It was rumored that in ancient times, the Four Ancestors fought here with the four Heaven Demon Emperors. This abyss of millions of miles was supposedly the aftermath of that war,” Wen Qingxuan said.
“This is where they fell, thus it is no wonder that after so many years, their residual will has gathered here. Perhaps it is their persistence in wiping out the other side.” Mu Chen nodded solemnly. He narrowed his eyes at the darkness. Members of the Extraterritorial Race must have started to gather?
While they were talking, the great army also approached the edge of the abyss. Shrouded in the light, they gradually landed. As they descended, they immediately felt a wizened voice ringing in their minds, as if passing through time and space. “Here you are at last, defenders of the Great Thousand World.”
Mu Chen and the others looked at each other. This wizened voice should be one of the ancestors’ remnant wills.
Qin Bubai clasped his fist and asked, “Elder, what should we do?”
“The remaining souls of the Four Heaven Demon Emperors were crushed and scattered by the four of us. We intended to wear them down over the years, but recently they also felt they were unable to resist further. Thus, they began calling for help from the Extraterritorial Race to try to break our suppression and release their remnant souls.
“If they succeed, they will be able to connect with the Extraterritorial Race. The Ancient Holy Gulf will be completely drawn into the Demonic Realm and become a springboard for attacking our Great Thousand World.”
Hearing this, all the people present were unable to conceal their shock, and their faces changed greatly. If so, will we be dragged into the Demonic Realm, too?
“Thus, we need you to do something to stop the Extraterritorial Race from destroying the Four Sacred Tower!” As the voice finished speaking, Mu Chen and the others sensed something and looked up. They saw a huge black and white tower at the junction of light and darkness. The giant tower, which had only four floors, seemed immovable.
“Every level of the tower suppresses the remnant soul of a Heaven Demon Emperor. Every time one is released, it means… the remnant will of one of the four of us has been wiped out. Once three remnant souls of a Heaven Demon Emperor are released, the Four Sacred Tower will be destroyed, and the Heaven Demon Emperors’ souls will be completely unleashed.” At this point, the wizened voice grew somber.
“As long as you can keep two floors of the Four Sacred Tower intact, you will be able to seal the Heaven Demon Emperors’ souls until they are completely gone. The success or failure of this matter depends on all of you.”
Upon hearing this, many of the Sovereigns present looked grave. They obviously did not expect the situation to be so cruel that it was really necessary to fight life and death battles.
“We will hand over the inheritance of the floor to whomever can protect the seal!”
As soon as this was announced, there was an intense desire in many Sovereigns’ eyes. According to the meaning of this remark, it was obvious that the last successful person would be able to obtain the inheritance left behind by a Divine Heavenly Sovereign!
Mu Chen took a deep breath as his eyes filled with fire. He nodded to the others and said in a soft voice, “Let’s get ready.” In order to get that “Eight Budur,” whether it was facing Xuan Luo, Mo Xin, or the Extraterritorial Race, he had no fear.
Wealth and silk stirred people’s hearts, but Rare Super Powers could tempt people to fight for them with their lives.
