Chapter 0701: The Abyss of Ten Thousand Arrays

When Leo and Hibere arrived, seeing Keller’s frenzied state and Opot’s dejected expression, they realized that the Royal Beast must have already been taken by Livia and the Yellow Dragon.
Leo and Hibere exchanged a glance.
In truth, this Royal Beast wasn’t important to them, so even if it fell into the hands of the Yellow Dragon and his companions, it wouldn’t matter much to them.
They said nothing.
After venting his anger for a while, Keller calmed down. Now calm, he resembled a vengeful serpent—his eyes cold and menacing.
“The Yellow Dragon… Livia already has the Royal Beast. They will surely cross the Abyss of Ancient Beasts and reach the third layer. We must get to the fifth layer before them!” Leo said gravely.
The fifth layer held what they needed!
Since the Yellow Dragon and his companions had obtained the Royal Beast this time, they had to reach the fifth layer first!
Hibere agreed, saying, “Exactly.”
Opot nodded as well. Though unwilling and filled with hatred, he knew it was pointless to stay any longer in the Abyss of Ancient Beasts.
“The Yellow Dragon!” Opot’s eyes brimmed with endless hatred.
“Alright, let’s head to the third layer now!” Keller said slowly.
And so, the four of them transformed into four streams of light and flew toward the end of the Abyss of Ancient Beasts.
At that moment, the Yellow Dragon and Livia, who had obtained the Royal Beast, were also flying toward the same destination. Since they had the Royal Beast, they had agreed with Huoyang to meet at the end of the Abyss of Ancient Beasts.
Half a month later, the Yellow Dragon and Livia arrived at the end of the Abyss of Ancient Beasts.
During those half a month, the Yellow Dragon had given the Royal Beast to Livia, and together they had broken through the restrictions set by Opot.
After arriving at the end of the Abyss of Ancient Beasts, the Yellow Dragon and Livia met Huoyang.
The three of them crossed the end of the abyss and arrived on another continent.
Each continent had an entrance to its respective layer.
The entrance to the third layer was located at the southernmost part of this continent. It took the Yellow Dragon and his companions half a day to get there as well.
“That’s the entrance to the third layer?!” the Yellow Dragon asked, looking down at the sea of clouds below.
Below, endless clouds floated in the air.
“That’s right. This is the entrance to the third layer!” Livia nodded.
This was the third layer—the Abyss of Misty Clouds.
“Then let’s go down!” the Yellow Dragon said. With that, he soared downward, his figure quickly disappearing into the clouds. After him, Livia and Huoyang also flew down.
After descending, the Yellow Dragon felt a sense of being in the void he had experienced when traveling from the Netherworld to the Chaos Divine Plane.

However, different from the void it had passed through before, these clouds were constantly drifting, taking on various shapes as they moved. What was even more astonishing was that rings of brilliant light radiated around these clouds due to sunlight refraction—these dazzling lights resembled rainbows, capturing people’s hearts effortlessly. In Huang Long’s perception, he seemed to have entered a colorful world, one that was dreamlike and fantastical. Suddenly, a sense of coolness flashed through Huang Long’s mind, waking him up; his gaze became clear as he looked again at the clouds around him. Indeed, these clouds of the Misty Abyss had the power to confuse people. An idea struck Huang Long, and the Group of Immortals Pavilion flew out. Once it emerged, golden light shone, and those clouds of the Misty Abyss were drawn into the Pavilion by a powerful sucking force. These abyssal clouds had the effect of bewitching minds—even Huang Long had almost been deceived by them. Naturally, he wouldn’t let such an opportunity slip away. Seeing Huang Long use the Group of Immortals Pavilion to continuously collect those clouds, Livia and Huoyang exchanged a glance. Livia shook her head and smiled lightly. “Be careful!” Suddenly, as the three of them continued flying through the Misty Abyss, all the floating clouds ahead condensed into a giant misty cloud. This cloud emitted layers of colorful light, enveloping the entire surroundings, including Huang Long and his companions, in its radiant glow. The confusing power of this giant cloud was countless times stronger than those earlier clouds. But Huang Long was already on high alert. When the colorful light of the cloud enveloped them, he focused his mind, and the auspicious clouds above his head cleared the area around him. The bright light from these auspicious clouds blocked out the colorful light. Seeing this, Livia and the Divine King Huoyang glanced at the auspicious clouds above Huang Long’s head. They had seen such clouds before, but never imagined they could have such a function. After blocking the confusing illusions created by the giant cloud, Huang Long waved his hand to scatter it. Just as he did, a roar came from afar, followed by a figure rushing through the air toward Huang Long and his companions. This person was quite powerful, possessing the strength of an ordinary Supreme God, but his mind was already clouded; his eyes were bloodshot, and a beastly roar could be faintly heard from his throat.

Faced with this person’s wild attacks, the Fire Yang Divine King snorted coldly and threw a punch. With the power of Fire Yang, he sent the person flying, then the entire body of that person burned up and disappeared from the world.
“This person must be one of those supreme divine warriors who entered during the first two openings of the Mysterious Yellow River. When he came to this Misty Abyss, he was confused by the illusions created by the mist and lost his mind!” Riviera explained at that time.
Huang Long nodded.
And so, a few days later, Huang Long and his two companions crossed the Misty Abyss and reached the fourth layer.
This Misty Abyss could be said to be the easiest layer they had passed through.
In fact, this was also because of the strong souls of Huang Long and his companions. If they were like ordinary supreme divine warriors facing the confusing power of the mist, they would likely have already fallen into the illusions, lost their minds, and remained in the Misty Abyss forever.
Of course, the strongest warriors trapped in this Misty Abyss were at most supreme divines, so they posed little threat to Huang Long and his companions, offering no real obstacles—this was why they could cross it so easily.
There were also many treasures in the Misty Abyss.
For example, Spirit Clouds.
In the Misty Abyss, the mist absorbed the spiritual energy of the world over countless ages, causing some of it to become spiritual, with some even developing thoughts like humans. Such clouds were called Spirit Clouds.
If such Spirit Clouds could be tamed and incorporated into divine artifacts, the attacks from those artifacts would carry the effect of illusions. Moreover, the illusions created by these Spirit Clouds were far more powerful than those of ordinary mist. Even divine kings might sometimes be confused by their illusions. Although it lasted only a short time, in battles between strong warriors, even a blink could be crucial.
Victory or defeat often came in an instant.
This time, Huang Long and his companions were fortunate enough to capture two Spirit Clouds.
After passing through the third layer of the Misty Abyss, they arrived at the entrance to the fourth layer—the Abyss of Ten Thousand Arrays. As the name suggested, this Abyss of Ten Thousand Arrays was actually an abyss filled with countless large arrays.
“The Abyss of Ten Thousand Arrays,” Huang Long murmured, looking at the empty void below, his eyes holding an indescribable meaning.
When it came to arrays, in this Hongmeng World, if Huang Long was second, no one would dare claim to be first!
Of course, this did not include warriors above the rank of Holy King—it referred to those below that rank.
Riviera stood beside Huang Long, observing his expression, and said with a smile, “For others, this Abyss of Ten Thousand Arrays is the hardest of the first four layers, but for you, it’s probably the easiest—even easier than the third layer of the Misty Abyss!”
The Fire Yang Divine King also looked at Huang Long with confusion.

Huang Long smiled at Livia upon hearing this and said, “I just don’t know how powerful this Myriad Arrays Abyssal Formation is.”
Livia replied with a smile, “The more we go down, the stronger its power becomes. But it won’t pose a challenge to you. It seems we’ll have to follow closely behind you on this level.”
Huang Long chuckled but said nothing more.
“If we pass this fourth level, we’ll definitely reach the fifth level ahead of Leo and the others!” Livia said, her eyes gleaming.
On this journey to the River of Black and Yellow, the three things she was looking for— the first, the Beast Emperor Pearl, could already be considered found; the second and third were located on the fifth and sixth levels of the river.
Now, they were ahead of Kayel and the others, and thanks to Huang Long, they would also cross the fourth level faster than Kayel. Thus, Livia was confident they could reach the fifth level first.
“Let’s go!” said Huang Long. He took off first, diving into the void below. As he descended, Livia and Huoyang followed closely behind.
Just as the three of them landed in the void, the scene suddenly changed— they found themselves in a vast desert.
In the desert, sandstorms kept rising, crisscrossing the landscape. Yellow dust filled the air, blocking out the sun, while below lay scorched sand from which black plumes of heat smoke rose. Though they were thousands of feet above the sand, they could still feel the scorching heat emanating from it.
Due to the extreme heat, the desert space seemed distorted, and the air currents slowed down.
As soon as the three of them settled down, a hurricane suddenly arose. Sandstorms swirling with the scorching sand rushed toward their position.
Livia and the Divine King Huoyang were shocked and about to intervene when Huang Long ordered, “Don’t move!”
Although they didn’t understand his intention, Livia and the others stopped.
At that moment, Huang Long focused his mind, a flash of light appeared, and the Five Directions Spiritual Flags were summoned. The energies of the five elements converged, protecting the surrounding space. As the flags were activated, the sandstorms and hurricanes surged toward them.
With a loud roar, the Five Directions Spiritual Flags trembled.
Huang Long’s eyes narrowed— this wasn’t an illusion but a real attack. Mixing illusion and reality was precisely what made powerful formations so formidable.
There was also a reason why Huang Long didn’t let Livia and the others act. He realized this wasn’t a single formation but a series of interconnected ones. If they intervened carelessly, it might trigger attacks from other formations.
