Liu Ming's heart skipped a beat. With a wave of his arm, the Pearl of Mountain and River appeared in front of him. With a flash of yellow light, it turned into a yellow light curtain that protected his body.
Dong!
The sharp black light fell on the yellow light curtain, causing it to tremble violently. Cracks immediately appeared on its surface, but it managed to withstand the attack.
The Ancient Fiend Corpse's eyes glowed with a blood-red light. Just as it was about to attack again, it suddenly felt a cold breeze on its neck. A green saber radiance appeared out of nowhere and silently slashed down.
The Ancient Fiend Corpse wanted to dodge, but it was too late.
It let out an angry roar and its body glowed with black light. Huge black crystalline scales suddenly appeared on its neck.
The green saber radiance circled around its neck at lightning speed. After a few subtle clanging sounds, the saber radiance blurred and flew back to Liu Ming's side.
The Ancient Fiend Corpse's head tilted to one side and rolled down. It first knelt on the ground before its huge body fell forward like a small mountain, stirring up a cloud of dust.
It had obviously underestimated the defense breaking ability of Liu Ming's Green Demon Blade.
Liu Ming wore an indifferent expression. With a wave of his hand, he made two hand seals and put the Pearl of Mountain and River back into his sleeve.
As soon as the Ancient Fiend Corpse died, the Corpse Qi Avatar that had been fighting with Zhao Qianying and Ouyang Ruo also disintegrated. It then turned into specks of light and quickly dissipated in the air.
"Brother Liu."
"Liu."
Zhao Qianying and Ouyang Ming's expressions relaxed. They withdrew their Avatars and flew to Liu Ming's side.
"Thank you for blocking the Ancient Fiend Corpse." Liu Ming nodded to the two and said.
"It's nothing! On the other hand, Liu, how did you manage to kill that black-robed man in such a short time? If I'm not mistaken, that man should be a Metaphysic Realm demon from a big family, right? "Ouyang Ming first waved his hand and then changed the topic.
Liu Ming chuckled and said, "You're right, Brother Ouyang. This person's cultivation is profound. However, he must've fought against the Ancient Demonic Corpse for a long time and exhausted most of his magic power. That's why I was lucky enough to kill him."
Ouyang Ruo revealed a complicated expression when she heard this.
Even though the unique environment of the Demonic Abyss prevented the Tongxuan Realm demons from unleashing their full strength, any Tongxuan Realm cultivator, be it their knowledge or demonic treasures, was not something an ordinary Celestial Phenomenon Demon could compare with.
Even if he was injured or had insufficient magic power, if he wanted to escape, he knew that he would not be able to stop him at all, let alone kill him in such a short period of time.
From this, it could be seen that Liu Ming's strength was far beyond his expectations.
However, when he thought about it again, with such a powerful ally, his chances of obtaining the Cosmic Lightning Resistance Hoop in the Demon Abyss Tower would naturally increase.
Thinking of this, Ouyang Ming could not help but reveal a hint of joy in his eyes.
On the other side, Zhao Qianying also had a look of disbelief on her face. However, Liu Ming had given her a lot of surprises along the way, so she did not say anything at this moment. She only looked at Liu Ming with a strange look in her eyes.
Liu Ming saw the changes in their expressions, but he did not want to explain anything. His eyes fell on the head of the Ancient Demonic Corpse on the ground. With a flick of his finger, a green light flashed and the Cyan Demon Blade easily cut open the head.
As expected, there was another Demonic Corpse Orb inside.
"Let's go, let's continue our journey. This is not a place to stay for long. The fluctuation of magic power just now may have attracted the attention of the surrounding Demonic Corpses." Liu Ming looked around and said.
Zhao Qianying and Ouyang Ruo nodded.
Then, the three of them continued to walk towards the depths of the cemetery under the greyish-white light emitted by the Celestial Tablet.
The rest of the journey was unexpectedly smooth. Not only were they not attacked by the Demonic Corpses, but even the Corpse Qi in the air had become a lot lighter.
After an hour, the three of them came to a yellow-brown muddy area.
The soil here had changed from the black of the cemetery to a yellow-brown color.
As far as the eye could see, the muddy ground was full of strange tall flowers. Each of them was at least a few feet tall. There was a faint red mist drifting out from the center of the flowers, drifting in the direction of the cemetery.
At first glance, this place looked like a garden.
Looking through the red mist in the air, one could vaguely see a thick pillar-like object standing in the depths of the garden.
After Liu Ming and the other two arrived, they involuntarily stopped. Their gazes carried slight amazement as they looked around.
"Could it be that this place is no longer within the boundaries of the cemetery? Could it be that we have already passed through the cemetery area?" Ouyang Ruo looked around and said with slight doubt.
Liu Ming's eyes flickered slightly as he looked around, but he did not say anything.
Zhao Qianying pointed at the indistinct pillar-like object in the depths of the garden and said excitedly, "It's very likely. The Corpse Qi here is already very thin. Looking at the situation here, it seems to be a huge garden. Also, look at the cylindrical object in front of you. I'm afraid that's where the Demonic Abyss Tower is located."
Ouyang Ming naturally also discovered the object that Zhao Qianying was pointing at. He immediately chanted and a black light flashed in his palm. A jet-black key appeared. It was the Demonic Abyss Key.
As soon as the Demonic Abyss Key appeared, it immediately trembled slightly towards the object in the distance. It seemed to have an urge to break away from Ouyang Ming's control and fly there.
"That's right. Since the Demonic Abyss Key has such a strange reaction, that should be where the Demonic Abyss Tower is." Ouyang Ming turned his hand and put away the Demonic Abyss Key as he said excitedly.
"Then it seems to be correct." Liu Ming's eyes flickered. He had already used the Demonic Abyss Key in his body to test it, and it was indeed the case.
Ouyang Ming looked at Liu Ming and said, "Since that's the case, Liu, let's go there immediately to avoid any accidents."
Zhao Qianying also retracted her curious gaze and looked at Liu Ming.
It seemed that Liu Ming had already become the leader of the group of three.
"Alright. However, before that, Miss Zhao, with your status, you should have a good understanding of the Demonic Abyss Tower, right? Now that it's come to this, shouldn't you tell us about it? "Liu Ming nodded, then suddenly turned to look at Zhao Qianying and said profoundly.
Although he knew that this woman was the princess of the Central Dynasty, other than that, he did not know anything else. On the way, he did not purposely ask any questions. However, they were not far from the Demonic Abyss Tower, and there might be some taboos or restrictions. It was better to clarify some things in advance so that they would not panic when the time came.
"Oh? Miss Zhao actually knows about the Demonic Abyss Tower? "Hearing this, Ouyang Ming said with some surprise. A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, I haven't clearly explained my identity to Brother Ouyang. I'm Zhao Qianying, the daughter of the current Demon Emperor of the Central Dynasty. " Zhao Qianying knew that since Liu Ming had said it like this, there was no need for her to deliberately hide anything. Thus, she bowed to Ouyang Ming and said.
"This … I didn't expect Miss Zhao to have such an identity. I'm a little disrespectful. However, although I don't know much about the Central Dynasty, I vaguely remember that the current Demon Emperor's surname should be Huangfu, right? "Ouyang Ming's face showed a hint of understanding, but he still asked with some doubt.
"Hehe, I didn't take my father's surname." Hearing this, Zhao Qianying sighed and said.
"I see …" Liu Ming nodded, as if a doubt in his heart had been solved.
After a moment of surprise, a hint of a complicated expression flashed in Ouyang Ming's eyes.
Wasn't his daughter, Sha Chu 'er, who was far away in the Middle Sky Continent, the same?
Looking at this woman's expression, it obviously contained a bitter past that no one knew.
However, this woman was obviously unwilling to talk about it, so Liu Ming and Ouyang Ming naturally wouldn't ask too much.
"Brother Liu, although I'm a member of the Huangfu Clan, the Demon Abyss Tower is an extremely secretive matter in the clan. Apart from a few royal fathers and the Metaphysic Realm elders, no one else knows about it. I also spent a lot of effort to inquire about it from my master. In fact, I don't know much more than you do. "Zhao Qianying said with a smile.
Hearing this, Liu Ming's eyes flashed. He smiled faintly and didn't say anything. He didn't really believe Zhao Qianying's words, but since she had already said so, it would be useless to continue asking.
"However, since Miss Zhao is a member of the Huangfu Clan and has a high status, why didn't you enter the Demon Abyss with your clan instead of the two of us?" Ouyang Ming stared at Zhao Qianying and asked.
Before entering the Demon Abyss Tower, he had seen the Huangfu Clan at the entrance of the Demon Abyss with his own eyes.
Hearing this, Zhao Qianying couldn't help but glance at Liu Ming.
Liu Ming frowned and a strange expression flashed across his face. Speaking of this matter, it was because he had captured Zhao Qianying, which led to the three of them traveling together. However, since it involved the Demon Abyss, it wasn't easy for him to explain too much to Ouyang Ming.
"Although our Huangfu Clan is a royal clan, we actually only have two Demon Abyss Keys. There are only ten people who can enter the Demon Abyss. I have just entered the Celestial Phenomenon Realm and my strength is weak, so I wasn't included in the quota. Therefore, I came to Moon Moon City to try my luck … Speaking of which, I have to thank Brother Ouyang for being able to enter the Demon Abyss this time. "Zhao Qianying bowed to Ouyang Ming.
"So that's how it is. Miss Zhao, there's no need to be so polite. " Ouyang Ming mostly believed her when he heard this. After all, this woman's cultivation wasn't high, and it could even be said that she was the weakest person to enter the Demon Abyss.
Considering all aspects, the Huangfu Clan wouldn't allow this woman to enter the Demon Abyss.
Thinking of this, Ouyang Ming glanced at Liu Ming. He seemed to be a little surprised that Liu Ming knew this woman.
Liu Ming also glanced at him and smiled faintly, but he didn't say anything.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.
Speaking of which, the three of them had worked together to overcome all difficulties along the way. Now that they were about to reach the Demon Abyss Tower, the atmosphere between the three of them became a little strange.
