"Dead people don't need to know my name." The owner of the palm spoke indifferently, unbothered by Liu Rouxin's provocation.
Yue Bai and Zhou Zuixi had rather solemn expressions on their faces; they had actually sensed a fatal threat from this hand.
"An Eighth Realm Great Perfection Cultivator? Never heard of them. Seems to be a cultivator sealed together with the Abyss..." Zhou Zuixi's temples slowly dripped with cold sweat, things weren't looking good now.
He knew all too well just how powerful an Eighth Realm Great Perfection Cultivator was, roughly comparable to his father's strength when he was at the Eighth Realm.
Such a level of adversary was far from what they could handle now.
Su Youyi's delicate face was filled with determination, standing by her senior brother's side without regret, even when facing such a formidable opponent.
It was just a hand of an Eighth Realm Cultivator, after all — who would win or lose was not yet certain!
"Please go and open the Abyss Gate..." The hand made a strange gesture of respect to the eye floating behind it, the voice emanating from the crack.
The projection of the Abyss Will, which had been almost unfazed by nature, showed extreme weakness after enduring the peak of Liang Yi's two strongest sword attacks, even sporting two long cracks on its eyeball.
Now, hiding behind the hand, the Abyss projection shuddered slightly, splitting into seven phantoms, each firing a beam of light in eight directions, as if searching for something.
The beams of light were incredibly fast, disappearing over the horizon in the blink of an eye, scouring the entire Secret Realm in an instant.
With the phantoms dissipated, only the original Abyss Will remained, facing north, rapidly flying towards the center of the Secret Realm, where Liang Yi and the others had originally planned to go.
Liang Yi's expression changed slightly; it seemed that even the projection of the Abyss Will had certain conditions to meet in order to open the Abyss Gate elsewhere. Otherwise, there was no need for the projection to make the trip to the center of the Secret Realm; it could've opened the Abyss Gate right here and ushered in the Abyss.
Whether it was Liang Yi or Su Youyi, they also came to this realization, but when they tried to follow, the pair of pale hands simply made a light gesture in their presence.
An invisible barrier abruptly spanned across the entire Secret Realm, splitting it into two with the palm at its center. The thing that formed the invisible barrier blocking Liang Yi and the others was the very breeze that had blown towards Liang Yi before!
"Sorry, but you'll just have to obediently stay here and wait for the Abyss's judgment." As the crack slowly faded, only the palm stood defiantly before Liang Yi, exuding confidence.
On the other side of the barrier, Zhou Yuqing's expression was as cold as ice. In reality, the barrier was not that strong, nowhere near enough to stop her.
But what really held her back was the White Tiger Envoy before the barrier!
"So it's Qiu Feng, the bearer of the Abyssal breath, a troublesome figure to deal with," Bai Sheng glanced at the hand below, recognizing the identity of the owner of the hand with a hint of schadenfreude in his expression.
"If those little ones below aren't careful, I'm afraid they might perish on the spot."
Their status as the Four Spirits Envoys in the Abyss was not much different from that of the Abyss Envoy, for the Power of Four Spirits they wielded was a gift from the Abyss itself.
It's not that the Four Spirits had sided with the Abyss; on the contrary, they were sworn enemies of life and death.
However, the Four Spirits had all perished at the hands of the Abyss Cultivators in the past. Therefore, even though the Four Spirits were dead, the power they left behind was still being utilized by the Abyss.
Yet, looking at Bai Sheng's face full of ridicule, Zhou Yuqing's face suddenly bloomed with a smile. Although it was fleeting, that moment's scenery still caught Bai Sheng off guard.
He had seen Vermilion Bird Envoy smile before, but never had he seen such a genuinely radiant smile coming from the heart.
"What are you laughing at?" Bai Sheng frowned, the situation deviating from his expectations. Shouldn't this woman be worried? What did her smile mean...
"Nothing... It's just that your Devouring Spirit Sect has tried every which way to kill Liang Yi to no avail, and there must be a reason for that!" Zhou Yuqing restrained her fleeting beauty, returning to her cold demeanor, pityingly gazing at Bai Sheng.
"What do you mean!" Bai Sheng's brows furrowed deeper, unclear about the meaning behind Zhou Yuqing's words.
"To think you hold such natural arrogance and still wish to kill Liang Yi? Don't make me die laughing!" Zhou Yuqing scoffed, raising her left hand slowly. The Light of the Sun dimmed in response, casting an even darker shade over the White Tiger Envoy.
Those from the Devouring Spirit Sect wanted to kill Liang Yi before he could grow, maintaining their lofty stance without bothering to understand the person they sought to assassinate. With such an attitude confronting Liang Yi, they were simply stepping stones on his path to rise...
The grand Conception of the solar blaze from the Light of the Sun merged with Zhou Yuqing's own Vermilion Bird divine flame, giving birth to another Sun manifested by the Vermilion Bird behind her!
The Sun's divine fire from the heavens cast light over the earth, nourishing all life with brightness and vitality; and the blazing Big Sun behind Zhou Yuqing eradicated the sinister shadow realms in all ten directions, obliterating any darkness!
At this moment, Zhou Yuqing's presence was majestic and overwhelming, her figure enveloped in golden-red flames transformed into a long dress; heat and light interlaced behind her into daylight.
In this moment, Zhou Yuqing's silhouette illuminated the heavens and the earth in all directions!
Confronted by this rising Vermilion Bird sun, the White Tiger Envoy's complexion was as dark as the bottom of a pot, the mockery in Zhou Yuqing's words blatantly clear. Yet, he had no idea what she meant!
And doesn't this make it even more apparent that he possesses that conceited arrogance? An arrogance so deep that even he himself is unaware of where he exhibits it...
"Once those little devils down there are all dead, I would like to see who is the arrogant one!" Bai Sheng snorted coldly, his face gloomy like still waters, as a sea of murderous intent surged behind him like a tide.
Even when transformed into a Big Sun, in the face of absolute strength, he could douse it with the sea of killing intent. For him, who ascended through slaughter, even the sun in the sky is nothing more than another entity to be slain!
The collision of crimson gold and blood red split the Heavenly Vault into two, below, Liang Yi and the others were confronting that gigantic hand.
The owner of the hand seemed to find this action a bit inconvenient, stretched out his hand to grab, and a furious wind connected to the Heavenly Vault enveloped the hand.
Once the furious wind dissipated, at the center of the storm stood a green-robed man with long hair, a pale face, and a light smile, floating in the Void, with a gentle breeze circling around him.
The man appeared to be in his twenties, with long black hair draped over his shoulders, looking more like a mild-mannered country schoolteacher than anything else.
"Indeed, this is much more comfortable..." the green-robed man smiled slightly, glancing down at himself.
His whole body was somewhat ethereal, except for his left hand, which looked incredibly real.
Inside Liang Yi, the untainted sword heart trembled, a reminder that this was no illusion.
"It's not a true descent, but more like a clone with a hand from the original body, its strength hasn't changed much, meow." Grandpa Orange shook his head, instantly seeing through the man's nature.
"Who are you? Why do I feel that compared to that kid, I find you even more detestable?" Faced with the enormous magical beast, Qiu Feng was somewhat perplexed.
The youngster named Liang Yi already aroused a deep-seated loathing within him, but to his surprise, this mysterious magical beast invoked an uncontrollable urge to slay it at first sight. This was incredibly strange for an Abyss Envoy, who is desireless and acts solely on the will of the Abyss.
"Who cares who I am, how dare you dislike me? You're not even qualified to be disliked by me, meow!" Grandpa Orange's temper flared. In his heyday, he had been a being who engaged in wits and bravery against the masters of these underlings, and now he was being scorned by one of them?
"Then I'll just kill you and investigate!" Qiu Feng couldn't care less about the hostility of a Sixth Realm magical beast, reached out his hand and, like the sky collapsing, grabbed towards Liang Yi and the others.
"Be careful of this Abyssal Aura wind, it's troublesome to get tainted by it, meow." Grandpa Orange's expression became serious; anything contaminated with Abyssal Aura was defiled, and so was this wind.
Feeling the danger coming from all directions, everyone understood how perilous this thing was.
Invisible and intangible is the nature of wind, capable of probing through even the slightest gap, making it extremely difficult for everyone to defend against.
Invisibility was the least of concerns; from the Divine Soul perception, one could barely see it, but after being contaminated, the force from the Abyss that seeks to extinguish the flame of their lives was the real trouble.
"Hahaha!" Watching the people scurrying to dodge, Qiu Feng laughed triumphantly; it had been many years since he felt the joy of cat playing with mouse.
The last time the Abyss Seal broke, right out of the gate, he encountered a Slaughter God, and he lost count of how many Abyss Cultivators had been slashed back to birth by that blade of the Taoist Collection; several Abyss Envoys also fell.
Had he not retreated into the Abyss sensing danger, he wouldn't have been alive now.
Now having encountered the two disciples of Chen Hua, it would be perfect to slay them and bring them back to the Abyss, request the Abyss Will to turn them into Abyss Cultivators, then set off a delightful scenario of master and disciples killing each other, wouldn't that be beautiful?
Caught up in the elation of his spring breeze success, Qiu Feng failed to notice that Liang Yi and the others, being chased by the Abyssal Aura wind, had quietly reached a consensus.
At the moment when Qiu Feng was least on guard, Liang Yi and the others exchanged a silent glance and then abruptly lashed out!
Liang Yi and Su Youyi shared a tacit understanding, Yuan Zhou and Lovesick unleashed sword lights of extreme radiance!
Behind them, Zhou Zuixi and Liu Rouxin joined forces; one embodied the Dragon Energy and willing power of the masses of Immortal Dynasty, while the guardians of the four corners of Xuanzhou and the natural scenery of Immortal City Qingliang materialized behind them, and with the price of severe bodily injury, they unleashed the most peak punch of their lives!
Another, though small in stature, hurled his long spear with all his might, its glow piercing through heaven and earth, the red dragon roaring skyward, intimidating the heavenly vault!
Yue Bai's complexion was pale; her six tails whipped wildly, a drop of Essence Blood spat into her hand from her mouth. When she released her hand, the Essence Blood had solidified into a translucent gemstone.
Muttering an incantation, Yue Bai connected her own Essence Blood to the ancestors of Qingqiu through the Time River.
With a point of her finger, the gemstone shattered.
A Heavenly Fox phantom, donning a crown and draped in regal robes, appeared with nine tails!
Despite the lack of vitality in the eyes of the Heavenly Fox, the moment it emerged and sensed the Abyssal Aura on Qiu Feng, it became furiously enraged, its nine tails dancing wildly.
Storm, lightning, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth!
Top-level Daoist Skills of the nine attributes unleashed without restraint, like a ferocious storm pounding at Qiu Feng, their attacks even reaching him before the others.
Although the Abyssal Aura wind acted as a shield and blocked a large portion of the offensive, there was no thwarting the multitude of Daoist Skills, which completely obliterated the Abyssal Aura wind!
