Chapter 0878: The Abyss of Chaos

Not the treasure of the Heaven-Subverting Demon Ancestor?! Huang Long was surprised.
“The Heaven-Subverting Demon Ancestor ranks among the top ten among the semi-saints of the Demon Sect. His treasure is indeed astonishing, but the one I know is not far behind!” That Wang-class Spiritual Vein said proudly. “Well? Isn’t this a good deal? As long as you let me go, I’ll tell you about this treasure!”
The conditions offered by that Wang-class Spiritual Vein were indeed tempting!
Let it go in exchange for a treasure.
This treasure—dozens of Wang-class Spiritual Veins and five semi-saint skeletons—without even mentioning other treasures, alone was worth twenty times more than this one Spiritual Vein before them!
The Wang-class Spiritual Vein looked at Huang Long and didn’t continue. This was only part of the treasure, but it believed that as long as Huang Long wasn’t foolish, he would agree.
Faced with such a treasure, a mere semi-saint from just one or two eras surely couldn’t resist such temptation!
“Hehe, once I’m free, I’ll devour this kid, absorb all his vital energy and the laws of the universe, thus saving me two eras of hard cultivation!” the Wang-class Spiritual Vein thought to itself, filled with pride.
At that moment, Huang Long spoke up, “Dozens of Wang-class Spiritual Veins and five semi-saint skeletons—indeed, the temptation is huge!”
Hearing this, joy spread in the Wang-class Spiritual Vein’s heart.
“What a pity!” Suddenly, Huang Long’s tone changed.
“What’s a pity?” The Wang-class Spiritual Vein’s heart sank.
“Pity that by subduing you and extracting your soul memories, I can still find out about that treasure!” Huang Long’s smile widened. “So, there’s no need for me to agree to your conditions! And certainly no way I’ll lift the restrictions on the Nine Heavens Treasury to let you go!”
“What? You?!” The Wang-class Spiritual Vein was shocked.
Just then, Huang Long’s figure flashed, appearing instantly in front of the Wang-class Spiritual Vein. The Chaos Bell appeared in his hand, and he struck it at it fiercely.
The body of the Chaos Bell vanished, giving rise to its spirit, the Bell Emperor. The Bell Emperor was surrounded by ancient beasts, primordial demons, demon ancestors, and divine mountains. It pierced through the Wang-class Spiritual Vein’s body, which was like a river of heaven.
“Boom!” With a loud explosion, the Wang-class Spiritual Vein let out a tragic roar, like that of a dragon or a phoenix. A huge hole appeared in its “river of heaven.”
The Wang-class Spiritual Vein was flung back hundreds of millions of miles.
But in the blink of an eye, the huge hole recovered, as if it had never been struck. Of course, despite this, the Wang-class Spiritual Vein had already suffered severe damage from the Chaos Bell’s attack.

“You, a sacred artifact of the supreme path!” Wang Pin’s spiritual vein was severely damaged and sent flying. With a face filled with terror, he stared at the Chaos Bell in the sky and screamed.
Earlier, when Huang Long subdued the first- and second-rank spiritual veins, he did not use the Chaos Bell, so Wang Pin had no idea that Huang Long possessed such a sacred artifact of the supreme path. If he had known, he would surely not have been foolish enough to try bargaining with Huang Long.
He tried to bargain with Huang Long using treasures because he thought Huang Long couldn’t kill him or subdue him, and that Huang Long would surely agree to his conditions in order to get those treasures.
“Indeed, a sacred artifact of the supreme path!” Huang Long said calmly. “Otherwise, why do you think I was able to kill the Nine Heavens Patriarch?”
The Nine Heavens Patriarch lived at the end of three eras. Without the Chaos Bell, Huang Long wouldn’t have been able to kill him—not even escape from his grasp.
The problem was that Wang Pin’s spiritual vein was too stupid!
A spiritual vein remained a spiritual vein. Although it gave birth to a spiritual being with human-like intelligence, it was still somewhat foolish compared to true humans. If anyone else had heard Huang Long say he had killed the Nine Heavens Patriarch, they would surely have drawn certain conclusions.
Wang Pin felt deceived and enraged. His entire body twisted as if he were a divine dragon, circling in the void, with spiritual energy swirling around to conceal his form.
“You brat, even if you have a sacred artifact of the supreme path and killed the Nine Heavens Patriarch, dreaming of defeating me and subduing me is just that—dreaming!” Wang Pin roared.
Then, countless streams of spiritual energy transformed into numerous spiritual swords, pouring down like a storm to attack Huang Long. Their power was no less than that of ordinary ultimate techniques.
Seeing this, Huang Long smiled coldly. “If that’s the case, after extracting your soul memories, I’ll completely erase your spiritual consciousness!” With that, he pointed with both hands, and the Chaos Bell grew larger, enveloping an area of hundreds of millions of miles in all directions.
“Celestial Star Battle Array!”
Countless starlights surged forth, with planets rotating and clusters of star energy forming. No matter how hard the spiritual swords attacked, they couldn’t break through this array of star energy.
Then, Chaos Star Thunder descended like waves of thunderstorms, hitting Wang Pin’s spiritual vein wave after wave, seemingly endlessly.
This Chaos Star Thunder could seriously injure even the strongest warriors of three eras, and even those of four eras would suffer greatly. Under these relentless attacks, Wang Pin let out continuous screams of pain.
It was pure torture!
In the face of the Chaos Bell, even a warrior as strong as one from four eras had no chance of resisting.
The aura of the spiritual being within Wang Pin’s spiritual vein gradually scattered and weakened.

“Kid, even if you kill me, you won’t be able to find that treasure!” roared the Wang-class Spiritual Vein. Its body, as vast as the Milky Way, trembled continuously, with bursts of spiritual energy being emitted in a final struggle.
“Kill you? Don’t worry, I won’t kill you!” said Huang Long. Then, he struck with the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron, transforming the three thousand Hongmeng Divine Beasts into a torrent of chaos that instantly rushed at the spiritual essence within the Wang-class Spiritual Vein.
Huang Long’s strength had increased; now, each attack from these three thousand Hongmeng Divine Beasts was equivalent to the strike of two era-defining warriors. Together, they shattered the spiritual essence completely, pushing it to the brink of destruction.
With a single hand motion, Huang Long pulled the spiritual essence out of the Wang-class Spiritual Vein. This spiritual essence was a solidified form of spiritual energy, resembling a middle-aged man. Once pulled out by Huang Long, it had no strength to resist. Huang Long then used his magic to implant restrictions within it and entered its mind to extract its memories.
After a while, Huang Long found the memories related to the great treasure and sealed the spiritual essence back into the form of the Wang-class Spiritual Vein. Although severely damaged, the spiritual essence would not affect the quality of the Wang-class Spiritual Vein. Thus, even if Huang Long killed it, the spiritual energy of the vein would not diminish.
Subsequently, Huang Long stored this Wang-class Spiritual Vein inside the Sacred Cauldron.
“The Chaos Abyss?!” Huang Long frowned.
From the memories of the spiritual essence within the vein, he learned that the great treasure was in the Chaos Abyss!
There were four great abysses in the universe: the Death Domain Abyss, the Chaos Abyss, the Thunder Sea Abyss, and the Graveyard Abyss!
These four abysses were the four most perilous places in the universe!
Back then, Huang Long had killed the Nine Heavens Sect Master and the Heaven-Hatred Demon Ancestor on a planet in the Death Domain Abyss, which was merely the outermost part of that abyss.
At the core of the four abysses, even half-saint-level warriors could perish if they were not careful.
And the great treasure was located in a divine plane on the edge of the central region of the Chaos Abyss.
