Swoosh!
A dazzling golden light flashed, and Ji Tianxing's figure plunged into the dark vortex and quickly disappeared.
It was as if he was swallowed by the vortex after being severely injured and unable to resist the vortex's devouring power.
Standing at the edge of the vortex and holding the Holy Scepter, the Lord Hallmaster was dumbfounded.
"Uh …"
He had calculated and predicted several escape routes Ji Tianxing could take, but he did not expect that Ji Tianxing would be swallowed by the vortex.
As a result, his subsequent plans fell through.
Looking down at the bottomless abyss under his feet, his expression was very complicated. He was shocked, angry, and a little regretful.
"Damn it! That damn bastard, he would rather be swallowed by the Chaos Sea than fall into my hands! "
In fact, the Lord Hallmaster's mentality had changed during the half a month of chasing Ji Tianxing.
He was no longer as angry as before, and could not wait to kill Ji Tianxing.
Through half a month of chasing and competing, he had long seen that this young foreign God Emperor was stronger and more talented than the Shura God Emperor.
If the Four Great Temples' deduction was not wrong, the ancient prophecy would come true.
The Lord Hallmaster firmly believed that this handsome foreign God Emperor was more like the person they were looking for, the chosen one!
In fact, the Lord Hallmaster had quietly changed his mind.
He did not intend to kill all of them. Instead, he intended to injure and capture Ji Tianxing, and then subdue him for the Shangqing Divine Palace.
Anyway, everyone was still in the Chaos Sea, so they were not in a hurry to return to the Shangqing Temple.
He would take Ji Tianxing and rush to the Evernight Sea again to try to ignite the Eternal Fire and open the Gate of Heavenly Dao.
Unfortunately, as Ji Tianxing fell into the bottomless abyss, all of this went down the drain.
The Lord Hallmaster would never jump into the bottomless abyss to track and capture Ji Tianxing.
After all, this bottomless abyss with a radius of 50,000 miles in front of him was one of the most dangerous traps in the Chaos Sea.
No one knew where the abyss led to or what dangers were hidden inside.
In any case, from ancient times until now, none of the experts swallowed by the abyss had survived.
The Lord Palace Master cherished his life more than anyone else, so why would he risk his life?
A moment later, the Third Palace Master and the Fourth Palace Master arrived one after another. They also stopped at the edge of the bottomless abyss, not daring to take another step forward.
The two Temple Masters stared at the abyss beneath their feet. After exchanging a glance, they looked at each other in dismay and shock filled their eyes.
"That God Emperor was devoured by the Abyss just like that?"
"Although that fellow was heavily injured, he shouldn't have been swallowed by the vortex!
First Hall Master, could it be that your attack just now was too powerful, causing him to be severely injured and lose the ability to move? "
The two Temple Masters also found it inconceivable. At the same time, they felt a little regretful that Ji Tianxing had been swallowed by the abyss.
In the past half a month, the two of them had basically been chasing after the Lord Hallmaster and Ji Tianxing. They had almost no chance to make a move.
However, they had clearly seen every fight between the Lord Palace Master and Ji Tianxing.
At first, they were also furious and couldn't wait to kill Ji Tianxing to avenge the Asura God Emperor.
However, as the Lord Palace Master and Ji Tianxing fought again and again, they saw Ji Tianxing's valiant strength and endless trump cards.
With his strength at the initial stage of the God Emperor, he could erupt with such terrifying fighting strength.
Being chased by the Lord Palace Master, who was an upper stage God Emperor, and still being able to survive for half a month … What kind of shocking fighting strength was this?
The Third Palace Master and the Fourth Palace Master were also shocked and gradually changed their views.
They also privately discussed that Ji Tianxing was much stronger than the Asura God Emperor.
If the Four Great Temples' guess was right, and there really was a Heaven's Chosen One, then Ji Tianxing was more likely than anyone else!
The two Temple Masters had also sent voice transmissions to the Lord Palace Master, reminding him not to accidentally kill Ji Tianxing.
It would be best if they could capture Ji Tianxing and then go to the Evernight Sea Region to try again.
But now, the two Temple Masters' expectations and fantasies were dashed.
The three Temple Masters stared blankly at the abyss and were silent for a long time.
After ten breaths, the Lord Palace Master said, "Although I didn't show mercy, with his strength, it's impossible for me to seriously injure him and make him lose his ability to resist.
He threw himself into the abyss in order to escape our pursuit. "
The Fourth Palace Master frowned and said in a low voice, "Doesn't he know how dangerous this vortex is and that being swallowed by the vortex is certain death?"
The Third Palace Master shook his head and said calmly, "From ancient times until now, almost all those who were swallowed by the vortex died.
But don't forget, only God Kings can be swallowed by the vortex, and no God Emperor has ever been swallowed by the vortex.
Therefore, God Emperor level experts might not necessarily die if they were swallowed by the vortex, and there might be a chance of survival.
But he thought that he would die if he fell into our hands.
So, he chose the lesser of two evils and would rather be swallowed by the vortex to fight for a chance of survival. "
The Fourth Palace Master sighed helplessly and said with a bitter smile, "Sigh … If we knew he would be so unyielding, we would have negotiated with him and shown that we wouldn't kill him.
Now that he has fallen into the bottomless abyss, we don't know if he's dead or alive, and where he'll end up.
We've missed this God Emperor of a foreign race, and I'm afraid it's impossible to find another God Chosen One who is more outstanding than him. "
The Lord Palace Master was more shrewd, and his state of mind was more stable.
"Forget it, this person has fallen into the bottomless abyss, and we don't know if he's dead or alive. Let's end this matter here.
We'll wait here for a few days, and when the Fifth Palace Master arrives, we'll return to the Temple. "
The Lord Palace Master said indifferently and turned to leave the edge of the vortex.
Then, he took out the warship ten thousand miles away from the vortex and stepped into it.
The Third Palace Master and the Fourth Palace Master sighed regretfully and turned to leave as well, returning to the warship.
Next, the Lord Palace Master's warship hovered above the sea and waited for six days before the Fifth Palace Master arrived.
After the four Palace Masters met, the Fourth Palace Master and the Fifth Palace Master steered the warship and continued to fly south.
The rest of the journey was peaceful, and they didn't encounter any more twists and turns or dangers.
A month later, the warship left the Chaotic Sea and returned to land.
Two months later, the Lord Palace Master's warship returned to the Shang Qing Mystery Realm in a very low-key manner.
Before everyone arrived at the Mystery Realm, the Second Palace Master and several Elders who stayed behind to guard the Mystery Realm received a message in advance and knew the process and result of this operation.
Therefore, when the Lord Palace Master's warship returned to the Mystery Realm, the Second Palace Master did not arrange for anyone to welcome it.
After all, the Shang Qing Temple's operation this time failed. Not only did they fail to explore the mystery of the Gate of Heaven, but they also lost nearly 3,000 elites and suffered heavy casualties.
When they set off, they had a fleet of six warships. Now, only one warship returned, and it was all alone.
If they welcomed it with great fanfare, wouldn't it make the Palace Masters feel so embarrassed?
