Lu Zhou, Jie Jinan, and Ying Long had arrived at an abyssal rift near Dun Nan's Heavenly Opening. It had been opened during his battle with Great Emperor Tu Wei. At the moment, it would take at least two Great Emperors to open such a crack again. The problem was which Great Emperor had nothing better to do and was fighting here.
The Winged Dragon had only been able to absorb energy from the Abyss through the Apocalyptic Pillar and the Harpies. The Demon God had fallen into the Abyss during the battle there, and the Abyss had been filled in by the Harpies a long time ago. If they wanted to reopen the Abyss, they would have to destroy the Harpies' home, which the Harpies would never agree to.
When Ying Long saw the entrance, his face fell and he said, "It's still an unknown place. If the sky falls, won't I still die?"
Lu Zhou disagreed. He said, "That's not it. Although this is an unknown land, the abyss is below us. The entrance is narrow. The Grand Void won't fall into it."
"Wouldn't that be trapping This God in there forever?" Ying Long said.
"I promise you that if the sky really collapses, I'll dig open the abyss and let you out," Lu Zhou said.
"That's all I have to say. This deity doesn't trust you," Ying Long said.
Lu Zhou used the same trick and said, "This is my Hourglass of Time. You should understand its importance. Keep it with you for now."
He tossed the Hourglass of Time over.
The Heavenly Soul Pearl was useful in battle. Lu Zhou was reluctant to give it to Yu Shangrong. However, for the sake of the last Heavenly Soul Pearl, he had no choice but to pay a hefty price.
One cannot trap the wolf without sacrificing the child.
Ying Long stared at the Hourglass of Time and said, "This God doesn't want this. This God wants the Heaven Suppression Pestle offered by Big Abyss."
"The Heaven-Suppressing Pestle offered by Big Abyss?"
Lu Zhou put the Hourglass of Time away and brought out the Heaven Suppression Pestle.
Strictly speaking, the Heaven Suppressing Pestle was not of much use to Lu Zhou right now. He would not repair the Heavenly Awakening Pillar anyway. Otherwise, the Feather Emperor would not have given him such an important item.
He didn't know what Yinglong wanted it for.
"What do you want this for?" Lu Zhou asked.
Yinglong laughed and said, "You're a Fiendcelestial who can roam the world, but there are still things you don't know. This Heaven Suppressing Pestle … "
His words came to an abrupt halt.
Changing his tone, he said, "Go and investigate it yourself. In any case, one of its functions is to help absorb the power of the Abyss."
Jie Jinan smiled and said, "Brother Lu might not know, but I do. Aren't you trying to say that this Heaven Suppressing Pestle is the main divine item that constructs the laws of heaven and earth? Without it, we're all finished. It's not a bad idea to keep it. It can also help you absorb the power of the abyss. "
Ying Long: "…"
Lu Zhou handed the Heaven Suppressing Pestle to Ying Long. Then, he extended his hand and said, "Heavenly Soul Pearl."
"I can give it to you, but when are you going to return it to This God? Without it, This God's cultivation base will be greatly reduced. By then, it will be difficult for me to survive in the abyss."
"A month to half a year at most," Lu Zhou said.
Ying Long thought for a moment and said, "If you don't come back …"
"With the Heaven Suppressing Pestle in your hands, how could I not come? Without the Heaven Suppressing Pestle, everyone might die in the future. If I don't return in time, toss the Heaven Suppressing Pestle into the abyss. You can consider it your revenge, "Lu Zhou said.
That was Yinglong's thought as well. However, when he heard Lu Zhou's nonchalant tone, he hesitated.
This old geezer, the Fiend God, did not seem to care about his life at all.
Moreover, the Fiend God was able to return to the Great Void. Clearly, he had mastered some method of resurrection.
"Wait, I'm still worried," Ying Long said.
"What do you think we should do, then?" Lu Zhou asked.
Ying Long pointed at Jie Jinan and said, "Let him stay and enter the abyss with me."
Jie Jinan. "…"
Lu Zhou said with a solemn expression, "No. Something else. "
"…"
Jie Jinan was almost moved to tears. 'Brother Lu, you're the best to me.
Have I had it easy over the past 100,000 years? '
Ying Long frowned and said, "I know you have a rare weapon in your possession. Leave it behind."
"Void?"
Lu Zhou raised his palm.
A round black rock appeared.
He remembered he obtained this from the system. He did not expect Ying Long to know about it as well. Clearly, this item had appeared in the Fiend God's era. Perhaps, the Fiend God did not like using swords, and there were many void forms, it was difficult to identify its true form. Therefore, not many people knew about it.
Up until now, the Evil Sky Pavilion only had two Void items. The other one was the Grotto-Heaven Void left behind by the Fire God.
When Ying Long saw Unnamed, his eyes gleamed. He said with certainty, "That's it. Leave it and the Heaven Suppressing Pestle. You can take the Heavenly Soul Pearl. "
Jie Jinan objected, "You're pushing your luck. Without Void, Brother Lu's strength will be greatly reduced. What if he encounters a powerful enemy?"
"Does a great Fiend God need a weapon to fight an enemy?" Ying Long asked.
"Of course. Great Emperor Darkheart has a scale. That alone is a headache," Jie Jinan said.
"That has nothing to do with me. Besides, you're the one who brought Darkheart here," Ying Long said.
"…"
This was very unreasonable.
Jie Jinan was about to continue speaking when Lu Zhou said, "Alright. I'll give Void to you. "
He handed Void to Ying Long.
Ying Long put away the Heaven Suppressing Pestle and Unnamed. He was delighted and more confident now. He transformed into a blur and circled above the abyss. The wind stirred, and his voice was loud and clear.
Then, Ying Long spat out a mouthful of white light toward Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou caught it and studied it for a moment.
Ying Long said, "I'll be waiting for your return."
After saying this, Ying Long dove into the abyss.
Jie Jinan was slightly taken aback. He said, "I haven't told you yet. It's dangerous down there. You'd better be careful not to go for wool and come home shorn."
"I don't need your help."
Ying Long passed through the abyss and entered the area where the repulsive power rebounded. He struggled for a moment before he finally entered the abyss. The abyss was calm again.
Jie Jinan praised, "If you don't cultivate properly, I'm afraid your power will be drained. Otherwise, the human cultivators would've entered the abyss a long time ago. The beasts wouldn't even have a chance. "
"Let's return to the Evil Sky Pavilion."
"Mhm."
The two of them turned around.
They were about to leave when Lu Zhou said, "Wait."
"What is it?"
"Mounts."
Lu Zhou immediately chanted the Power of Speech from the Heavenly Writing.
The upgraded All Beings' Voice Divine Ability instantly spread in all directions.
Lu Zhou summoned his mounts one after another.
He ordered them to make their way to the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Jie Jinan said, "You reared a bunch of mounts back on Taixuan Mountain. You still have that hobby."
"These mounts are extraordinary. They'll become spirit beasts in the future."
"I believe in your eyesight," Jie Jinan said.
"Let's go."
The two of them flew toward the rune passageway closest to Dun Ran and Tian Qi.
Along the way, they could see that the unknown lands were much quieter than before.
Jie Jinan noticed this as well. He said, "The Nine Lotus Realm will be in danger as well. We should make up our minds as soon as possible."
Lu Zhou remembered the plan Si Wuya had come up with. It was about time to carry it out.
The two of them had barely landed beside the passageway when Lu Zhou sensed the talismans. He produced one and lit it. An image appeared.
In the image, Jiang Aijian exclaimed, "Senior Ji, let's return to the Evil Sky Pavilion."
"What's the matter?"
"This is bad. Visitors from beyond the heavens! "
"Visitors from beyond the heavens?" Lu Zhou and Jie Jinan were puzzled.
"We'll know when we get back."
The two of them immediately stood in the passageway. With a flash, they vanished.
A quarter of an hour later, the two of them appeared at the back of the Evil Sky Pavilion.
When he saw Lu Zhou and Jie Jinan, he did not even have the time to greet them before he said, "Senior Ji, look to the east."
Lu Zhou and Jie Jinan looked to the east at the same time.
Dark clouds blotted out the skies in the east as they approached.
It was as if a storm was about to be set off.
Lu Zhou frowned slightly and said, "Celestial phenomena?"
Jie Jinan shook his head and said, "Doesn't seem like it."
"I received news from Great Yan's Imperial family that Great Yan has sent out many cultivators to investigate," Jiang Aijian said.
"Could it be an invasion before the sky falls?" Jie Jinan asked.
"Then, they should be invading from the unknown lands and the Great Void, not the Endless Ocean."
Woo … Woo …
A low whimper rang from the horizon.
The sound was crisp and carried far away.
Cultivators from various cities in Great Yan spread across the skies as they flew toward the east.
Before the dark clouds, the human cultivators were as insignificant as flies.
Apart from the Evil Sky Pavilion, the biggest sects in Great Yan were the Three Sects.
When the cultivators from the Three Sects arrived before the dark clouds, they were shocked.
"What the heck is that?"
"It doesn't look like a cloud. It looks more like a … beast!"
"A beast?"
The cultivators from the Three Sects observed the sky that was invading the golden lotus domain.
Slowly, darkness crept in.
It was like a piece of black cloth that was slowly being pulled from one side of the sky to the other.
Woo …
The low whimper struck fear into the hearts of the Great Yan cultivators.
"Retreat!"
The Great Yan cultivators had no choice but to retreat.
They did not dare to act recklessly.
