Chapter 0711: Entering the Cambrian Abyss
“This?!” Huang Long frowned as he looked at the young girl. With a quick mental scan, he detected something unusual within her body.
There was a force within this young girl that even made Huang Long feel uneasy. Strangely, this force was restrained and existed sealed inside her.
Rivia also noticed this and stared at her in surprise.
Huang Long and Rivia turned to Saint Nan’an.
This young girl must be Grace, the holy maiden of their Xuanhuang clan. But what was that terrifying force within her? And why was she in a coma?!
Seeing this, Saint Nan’an explained, “Grace’s concentration of Xuanhuang bloodline is the highest ever recorded in our clan—90%! From birth, she possessed a mysterious force within her, which grew stronger as her cultivation improved. Especially after she became a supreme god-tier being, she could no longer control this force. My fellow elders and I had to work together to seal it. Yet, this force continues to grow stronger. Our seal will likely fail soon. Once it breaks, Grace’s body won’t be able to withstand it…” At these words, Saint Nan’an sighed.
Huang Long and Rivia frowned.
“Two days ago, Grace suddenly fell into a coma—probably related to this force!” Saint Nan’an continued.
Huang Long slowly stepped forward and reached out, using his divine energy to try to enter her body and investigate. Suddenly, a burst of Xuanhuang light erupted from within Grace, pushing Huang Long back instantly.
This Xuanhuang light contained the mysterious force within her.
Seeing this, Saint Nan’an said, “It’s useless. We’ve tried too, but we’re at a loss.”
Huang Long narrowed his eyes and said, “If that’s the case, even if we take Grace away, we won’t be able to obtain her Xuanhuang bloodline!”
Rivia also looked at Saint Nan’an.
Saint Nan’an pondered for a moment before saying, “Actually, according to our guesses, if several supreme god-tier beings work together to completely suppress this force and guide it, Grace can gradually absorb and integrate it, thus eliminating it!”
Several supreme god-tier beings?! Huang Long stared at Saint Nan’an. No wonder Saint Nan’an was willing to let him and Rivia take Grace away—he wanted to use their power to save her!
Because for the two of them to obtain the Xuanhuang bloodline within Grace’s body, they must first eliminate this force inside her! Otherwise, with this force protecting and repelling attacks, it would be impossible to get the Xuanhuang bloodline or her vital essence. Just then, another loud boom was heard suddenly. Saint Nan’an’s expression changed. Livia realized it was urgent—addressing the sealed force within Grace’s body could wait; for now, they had to take Grace away first. With a wave of her hand, she sent Grace into her own space. After putting Grace in her space, Livia, along with Yellow Dragon and Saint Nan’an, left that alternate space. When the three of them returned outside the sacred hall, six powerful currents rushed toward them from afar—they had already arrived at the ancestral shrine of the Xuanhuang clan. It was Keller, Leo, and the others. Without time to talk further with Saint Nan’an, Yellow Dragon and Livia took off simultaneously and flew to Fire Yang’s side. “Yellow Dragon, you can’t escape!” “Leave the Xuanhuang Holy Maiden behind!” Several shouts rang out, followed by several beams of light shooting from afar and striking at the three of them. “Go!” Instead of fighting back, the three of them dodged quickly and flew away. As soon as they left, the space trembled, and Keller and the others appeared in the space where the three of them had stood before. “How dare you!” Leo roared in anger upon seeing the three of them leave, realizing they were another step too late. Hibere’s eyes flashed coldly as he clenched his fists and attacked the ancestral shrine of the Xuanhuang clan. With the Xuanhuang Holy Maiden taken away by the three of them, Hibere vented his anger on the Xuanhuang clan. His attack transformed into a massive thunder dragon, charging at Saint Nan’an and the others with destructive power. But just as the thunder dragon reached the ancestral shrine below, a sudden intense light burst forth, and an overwhelming force rebounded, colliding with the thunder dragon. After a loud explosion, to Hibere’s surprise, the thunder dragon disappeared! Saint Nan’an and the others below also felt the earth shake. Yet, Hibere’s attack was still blocked by the grand array of the Xuanhuang clan’s ancestral shrine. It was said that this ancestral shrine was constructed by the elders under their sacred ancestor Bu—even divine kings couldn’t force their way through it! Saint Nan’an and the others, who had been panicked earlier, felt much more relieved now. Surprised, Hibere tried to attack again, but Leo raised his hand to stop him, saying, “It’s more important to chase after the three of them!” With that, he flew after them.
Next, Keller, Opot, Yidehai, and Muli took off one after another. Hibere hesitated for a moment, glanced at Saint Nan’an and the others, snorted coldly, and then also flew away. From the previous attack, he knew that breaking through the ancestral temple array of the Xuanhuang clan would not be easy, so he had no choice but to let them go.
Saint Nan’an and the people of the Xuanhuang clan all breathed a sigh of relief.
The power of the Divine Kings was beyond their ability to resist!
Even if the six Divine Kings joined forces to attack, they couldn’t guarantee that the array laid down by the clan’s ancestors could withstand it!
“Elder Lord!” The supreme elder of the Xuanhuang clan snapped out of his thoughts and said, “Those two took the Holy Maiden away. What will happen to her?”
Saint Nan’an sighed and looked up at the sky. “Let fate decide. But perhaps this is an opportunity for our Xuanhuang clan!”
The people of the Xuanhuang clan fell silent.
At that moment, the three of them—Huang Long and the others—who had left the ancestral temple of the Xuanhuang clan flew toward the end of the Xuanhuang Abyss.
“Livia, now that we’ve found the Xuanhuang bloodline, you should return to Silver Fox Mountain first!” Huang Long said along the way.
On this journey, Livia had already found the Beast Emperor Pearl, the Holy Light Stone, and the Xuanhuang bloodline. The seventh layer of the Cambrian Abyss was too dangerous, so Huang Long thought it was unnecessary for her to go there with him.
Livia shook her head. “The Cambrian Abyss is just as dangerous as the first six layers. It’s not safe. If you and Huoyang go, I’ll be worried!”
Huang Long glanced at her and said, “It’s precisely because the Cambrian Abyss is dangerous that even Divine Kings could perish if they’re not careful. So even if you came with me, it wouldn’t help. Besides, Silver Fox Mountain needs you there right now!”
Before Livia could speak again, Huang Long continued, “Don’t worry. Even though the Cambrian Abyss is dangerous, I can leave with the Group of Immortals Pavilion. And didn’t you say that those who possess the World Tree can become the rulers of the world?” With a half-joking tone, he added, “The ruler of the world won’t die so easily, right?!”
Hearing Huang Long mention the World Tree and thinking of its ancient legends, Livia felt somewhat reassured. Yet she was still worried about Huang Long and Huoyang going to the Cambrian Abyss.
At that moment, Huoyang spoke up, “Huang Long is right, Livia. The Cambrian Abyss is so dangerous that having you with us won’t make much difference. It’s better for you to return to Silver Fox Mountain and wait for news. Don’t worry—under the combined strength of the nine Divine Kings, even Huang Long can get through. Unless there’s a Holy King in the Cambrian Abyss, Brother Huang Long will be fine!”
Livia remained silent for a while before saying, “Very well!” Of course, there could be no holy king-level warriors in the Cambrian Abyss. She also knew about how the Yellow Dragon managed to escape under the combined attack of the nine great divine kings in the Beyond-Heavens Realm of the Hongmeng World.
“Then you must be extremely careful!” Livia gazed at the Yellow Dragon with affectionate eyes.
The Yellow Dragon nodded. “I know!”
Only then did Livia unfold the Yellow River Map and activate the restriction to leave the Yellow River. A burst of light enveloped him, and he vanished in an instant.
Once inside the Yellow River, if one wanted to leave halfway, they could activate the restriction on the map to teleport out of it. Of course, once outside, the map would disappear automatically.
After Livia left, the Yellow Dragon and Huoyang continued toward the end of the Cambrian Abyss. Behind them, Kelle and the others frowned upon seeing Livia use the restriction on the map to leave.
“Livia has left the Yellow River, yet this Yellow Dragon still heads toward the end of the Cambrian Abyss. Could he really intend to enter the seventh layer of the Cambrian Abyss?!” Yi Dehai asked, his eyes flickering.
“Hmph, does he think the ultimate treasure in the seventh layer is that easy to obtain?!” Leo sneered.
“But the Cambrian Abyss is filled with chaotic, extremely yin and cold energy. Even we, the powerful divine kings, find it hard to pass through. How can this Yellow Dragon use it to enter the deepest space?!” Kelle wondered.
As soon as Kelle spoke, Leo and the others turned their attention to Huoyang, who was heading toward the end of the Cambrian Abyss with the Yellow Dragon.
“I see!” Hibere realized suddenly and sneered, “I wondered why it seemed so familiar. It’s him!”
Kelle looked at the others.
“The Chaotic Huoyang Stone!” Opot said gravely.
More than a hundredera had passed, and who would have thought that the newly risen divine king accompanying the Yellow Dragon was none other than the Chaotic Huoyang Stone that had escaped back then!
Only then did Kelle understand what Hibere meant. He had also heard about the incident involving the Chaotic Huoyang Stone in the past.
“I can’t believe this Yellow Dragon has found the Chaotic Huoyang Stone and can even use it to help him reach the Cambrian Abyss!” Kelle sneered.
At that moment, the Yellow Dragon, who had reached the entrance of the Cambrian Abyss, stopped. A flash appeared between his brows as he summoned the Immortal Pavilion. Then, along with Huoyang, he flew into the Immortal Pavilion and used it to enter the Cambrian Abyss.
Kelle and Leo and the others stopped at the entrance of the Cambrian Abyss, not daring to go any further.
Leo’s expression shifted, but the chaotic, extremely yin and cold energy of the Cambrian Abyss ultimately made him hesitate.
“Let’s go!” After a while, Keller broke the silence and turned to fly back. The Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure on the sixth floor was still waiting for him. Although he had reached the level of a Divine King, he still lacked a proper divine artifact.
