Ye Xuan and An Lanxiu arrived at the mouth of a deep abyss. The abyss resembled a gigantic black hole, utterly pitch-black.
Heavenly Abyss!
Ye Xuan glanced into the depths of the Heavenly Abyss. His divine sense could not penetrate it, nor detect anything.
Ye Xuan and An Lanxiu exchanged a look. Ye Xuan said, “Let’s take a detour.”
An Lanxiu nodded.
The two were about to leave when, suddenly, a terrifying aura swept out from the Heavenly Abyss!
Boom!
All around, space and time directly began to boil!
Ye Xuan frowned slightly. At that moment, a black-clothed man slowly walked out from the Heavenly Abyss!
In the black-clothed man’s hand was a long sabre with a blood-red blade.
The black-clothed man sized up Ye Xuan and An Lanxiu, then grinned. “To reach this place, not bad at all!”
Ye Xuan glanced at the black-clothed man. “Sir is?”
The black-clothed man chuckled. “Guardian of the Heavenly Abyss!”
Ye Xuan asked, “A god spirit?”
A flash of surprise appeared in the black-clothed man’s eyes. “You know about god spirits?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
The black-clothed man studied Ye Xuan for a moment, then said, “You wish to pass through this place?”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Yes!”
The black-clothed man grinned. “Then you must get past me first!”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Alright!”
As he spoke, he suddenly stepped forward. With that step, the Qingxuan Sword suddenly flew out in a slash!
Chi!
A sword light tore through the field!
In the distance, the black-clothed man’s eyes narrowed slightly. He drew his sabre and slashed.
Boom!
A expanse of sword light and sabre light shattered explosively!
The black-clothed man was about to strike again when he suddenly looked down at his sabre. A notch had appeared on the blade!
Seeing this, the black-clothed man’s eyes narrowed. He looked at Ye Xuan’s Qingxuan Sword. “This sword of yours is no ordinary thing!”
Ye Xuan smiled faintly. “Again?”
The black-clothed man laughed loudly. “Again it is!”
As his voice fell, he suddenly turned into a sabre light and vanished on the spot!
Chi!
In the field, space and time were directly torn apart.
In the distance, Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed. He suddenly disappeared from where he stood. In an instant, millions of Mortal Swords tore through the field!
Over the past few hundred years, his Mortal Sword Intent had reached an extremely terrifying level!
Boom!
Countless sword lights shone brilliantly like a starry river. The powerful force directly blasted the black-clothed man thousands of zhang away. When he stopped, Ye Xuan spread his palm. In an instant, countless strands of Mortal Sword Intent gathered in his hand, then fused completely with the Qingxuan Sword!
The black-clothed man fell silent.
A sword cultivator!
What a powerful sword cultivator!
After a moment of silence, the black-clothed man grinned, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.
Just then, a terrifying aura suddenly came from within the Heavenly Abyss. The next moment, a remnant shadow suddenly shot out from the Heavenly Abyss.
Seeing this, the black-clothed man’s expression changed drastically. He suddenly leaped forward and slashed at the remnant shadow.
At that moment, the remnant shadow suddenly turned and threw a punch!
Boom!
A expanse of sabre light suddenly erupted. The next moment, the black-clothed man was forced back repeatedly, while the remnant shadow turned and transformed into a beam of light, disappearing from everyone’s sight.
It escaped!
Seeing this, the black-clothed man’s face immediately became extremely unsightly.
Ye Xuan looked towards the remnant shadow in the horizon and said softly, “That was a god spirit?”
The black-clothed man nodded. “However, it was merely a wisp of divine soul!”
Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Just a wisp of divine soul?”
The black-clothed man nodded. “Yes! If it were the main body, I definitely would not be its match!”
Ye Xuan frowned.
The black-clothed man shook his head with a smile. “The strength of this god spirit clan, I can only describe as terrifying!”
As he spoke, he looked behind him at the Heavenly Abyss, then said, “Do you know why we can only suppress and seal them?”
Ye Xuan said, “They cannot be killed?”
The black-clothed man stared at Ye Xuan. “Exactly! No power can directly erase them! Even if their physical bodies and souls are destroyed, they can revive on the spot in the heavens and earth!”
Revive on the spot!
Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed. “Impossible, right?”
The black-clothed man shook his head and sighed. “It is real. Even if their souls and bodies are completely erased by force, before long, they can revive again! Therefore, we can only seal them and prevent them from coming out.”
Infinite revival!
Ye Xuan and An Lanxiu exchanged a glance. Both were somewhat shocked.
If this were truly the case, wouldn’t these god spirits be invincible?
The black-clothed man said in a deep voice, “Recently, some god spirits have been escaping frequently. Clearly, the seals have loosened, and I feel something big might happen!”
As he spoke, he shook his head slightly. “Nowadays, earning money is not easy!”
Ye Xuan’s expression froze.
The black-clothed man glanced at Ye Xuan, then said, “You came from the lower worlds, right?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Yes!”
The black-clothed man shook his head. “I heard the Xu True World is in complete chaos now. There’s a woman slaughtering people there. I suggest you two don’t go.”
Ye Xuan’s expression immediately became strange!
The black-clothed man hesitated for a moment, then said, “Can you do me a favour?”
Ye Xuan was somewhat surprised. “What favour?”
The black-clothed man said seriously, “Come with me into the Heavenly Abyss. Something must have gone wrong with the seals there! I want to go in and check. If there really is a problem, I need to report it upwards and let them handle it! If I go in alone… I’m afraid I’ll be ganged up on!”
Ye Xuan blinked. “Any benefits?”
The black-clothed man held up two fingers. “Two million Xu True Crystals!”
Ye Xuan and An Lanxiu exchanged a glance. Both nodded!
Cultivating inside the little tower consumed the most Xu True Crystals. That thing was extremely helpful for their cultivation!
The black-clothed man spread his palm. A storage ring appeared before the two!
Ye Xuan put away the storage ring, then said, “Let’s go!”
He also wanted to see these god spirits!
The black-clothed man nodded. The three directly entered the Heavenly Abyss. As soon as they entered, Ye Xuan’s expression immediately became grave.
The entire Heavenly Abyss was covered with various blood-red runes, dense and closely packed, extremely eerie.
Ye Xuan and An Lanxiu followed the black-clothed man to the deepest part of the Heavenly Abyss. There, at the very bottom, Ye Xuan once again saw a well. Powerful auras surged within the well.
The black-clothed man’s gaze fell on the well. When he saw that one of the iron chains on the well had broken, his face immediately darkened. “The seal really has a problem! Damn it! No wonder that fellow was able to escape just now!”
Ye Xuan said, “What do you plan to do?”
The black-clothed man shook his head. “Of course report it. I only get a fixed salary, how could I risk my life guarding this place?”
After a moment of silence, Ye Xuan said, “I originally thought you guardians of the god spirits did it for the greater good…”
He now felt that the Primordial God Clan might also have been paid well, which was why they fought so desperately!
Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the black-clothed man shook his head. “Greater good also requires eating! Only after eating one’s fill can one talk about greater good!”
Ye Xuan nodded. “That makes sense!”
The black-clothed man said, “Let’s go!”
With that, the three were about to leave!
Just then, a strange laugh suddenly came from the bottom of the well!
The black-clothed man’s expression changed immediately.
Ye Xuan glanced at the well mouth but said nothing.
At that moment, a voice suddenly came from within the well. “So you are the King of Backers…”
Ye Xuan’s expression froze!
An Lanxiu: “…”
