Chapter 0896: Ancient Demons of the Abyss

The Abyss of Chaos is one of the four great abysses in the universe, extremely dangerous. Even ten era-half-saints would not dare to enter its core area at will.
The Abyss of Chaos is home to countless powerful ancient demons and beasts from the abyss. Some of these ancient demons and beasts possess strength comparable to that of half-saints, and in the core area, there are even ancient demons and beasts that have existed for ten eras or more.
The Abyss of Chaos is vast—many times larger than a great world! If the Hongmeng Great World is the size of a dragon egg in the universe, then the Abyss of Chaos is as big as a sun!
Tens of millions of realms and hundreds of billions of star systems make up the Abyss of Chaos.
After emerging from the Heavenly Sacred Cauldron, Yellow Dragon opened his Heavenly Eye. Through the endless chaotic winds, scenes from one realm after another and one star system after another in the Abyss of Chaos appeared before him.
To his surprise, even when using all his magical power, his Heavenly Eye could not penetrate the core region of the Abyss of Chaos.
Just then, a giant, furred hand suddenly emerged from the void above Yellow Dragon’s head. This hand, resembling an ancient divine mountain, descended fiercely from above.
“Hmph!” Yellow Dragon snorted coldly. Raising one hand, he pointed. Instantly, he sent the giant hand flying away. Blood rained down, covering hundreds of thousands of miles of space. With a scream, a huge ferocious beast tumbled out of the void.
Wherever it passed, mountains in that realm were shattered to pieces.
This beast resembled neither an ape nor a bear. It stood tens of thousands of feet tall, with a huge mouth filled with fangs that gleamed like divine swords. There was a flame-shaped mark on its forehead.
“Ancient Flame-Ape!” Yellow Dragon thought to himself as he watched the beast.
The books left by the Hongmeng Sacred King described the four great abysses, and Yellow Dragon immediately recognized the origin of this beast.
The Ancient Flame-Ape was a creature that was neither an ape nor a bear. It was said to be a mutated descendant of a being called the Sacred King of Ancient Apes, spanning countless generations. It possessed immense strength and remarkable defense.
Although its innate strength was not as great as that of the Golden-Horned Giant, it still ranked among the top 100 in the 3,000 great worlds.
Among the countless races and billions of beings in the 3,000 great worlds, ranking among the top 100 in innate strength was already astonishing.
After being sent flying by Yellow Dragon’s punch, the Ancient Flame-Ape showed fear in its giant eyes. It turned and vanished in a flash of fire, disappearing from Yellow Dragon’s sight.
“Trying to escape?!” Yellow Dragon sneered. With a single palm motion, he captured the Ancient Flame-Ape through the star systems and threw it back into the myriad realms.

Back then, when the Ancestor of Illusory Light killed the Yellow Dragon, the Divine Artifact of All Realms blocked its attack. All beings below the rank of High Gods within it died, so the Yellow Dragon came to this Chaotic Abyss, intending to gather powerful ancient demons and beasts to put them under control within the Divine Artifact of All Realms for its own use.

Currently, the Yellow Dragon is in the middle layer of the Chaotic Abyss. The ancient demons and beasts living in this middle layer possess strength between that of High Gods and Sovereigns. The Fireheart Ape earlier had the strength of a High Sovereign. After capturing that Fireheart Ape and bringing it into the Divine Artifact of All Realms, the deities residing within the thirty-three divine artifacts and the Dragon Gate simultaneously emitted a beam of light that enveloped the Fireheart Ape, instantly suppressing, assimilating, and subjugating it.

“Hundred-Legged Stone Ants!” Not long after capturing the Fireheart Ape, the Yellow Dragon encountered a group of Hundred-Legged Stone Ants. These ants had a hundred legs! What was even more astonishing was that their entire bodies were covered with layers of rock-like carapaces, making them nearly impervious even to divine artifacts, with defense even more formidable than that of the Fireheart Ape. There were over a hundred of these ants, each with the strength of a Medium Sovereign. Yet, with just a gesture from the Yellow Dragon, hundreds of energy streams shattered their defenses, and they were all captured and brought into the Divine Artifact of All Realms.

After those over a hundred ants entered the Divine Artifact of All Realms, the deities formed from the thirty-three divine artifacts and the Dragon Gate repeated the process, emitting a beam of light that enveloped them all, instantly suppressing, assimilating, and subjugating them. Just as the Yellow Dragon had captured these ants, the sky in the distance suddenly darkened.

“Hm? Flying Wing Demons?!” The Yellow Dragon looked up. What it saw was a creature with two wings and two legs, human in appearance—these creatures were called Flying Wing Demons, a type of Abyssal Ancient Demon from the Chaotic Abyss. Abyssal Ancient Demons were mostly descendants of Heavenly Demons and ancient beasts, hence possessing traits of both demons and ancient beasts.

The Yellow Dragon scanned with its divine sense and found that there were over a hundred thousand of these Flying Wing Demons approaching, most of them with the strength of High Gods, while a smaller group, twice as large, had the strength of Lower Gods.

“Not bad. Although their strength is weaker, with over a hundred thousand of them, the willpower and power generated by bringing them into the Divine Artifact of All Realms will be no less than that from the Hundred-Legged Stone Ants earlier,” the Yellow Dragon thought to itself.

At that moment, those over a hundred thousand Flying Wing Demons simultaneously exhaled a wave of demonic energy, forming a demonic cloud spanning millions of miles. The demonic cloud writhed, and terrifying sounds resembling screams of ghosts and howls of wolves emanated from it.

Even those who are one realm higher than them would have their minds confused upon hearing such a terrifying sound. Yet for a half-saint like Huang Long, it was nothing but a trivial matter. Watching the millions of miles of demonic clouds rushing toward him, Huang Long punched with his right fist, causing the massive clouds to collapse and dissipate into demonic energy. Then, with a swipe of his hand in the void, he destroyed the defenses of these Flying Wing Demons and trapped them all within the Multiverse. Subsequently, Huang Long continued onward, capturing more and more Ancient Demons and Ancient Beasts from the Abyss, adding millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions, a billion! After these Ancient Demons and Ancient Beasts entered the Multiverse, they were suppressed, assimilated, and tamed, forming streams of willpower that converged together, like massive torrents, continuously tempering this divine artifact—the Multiverse. Initially, the Multiverse had developed tiny cracks after withstanding the attack from Ancestral Illusion Light. Now, under the tempering of these willpowers, those cracks had completely vanished, making the Multiverse stronger and more refined than before. Along the way, Huang Long encountered many disciples from various great worlds undergoing trials in the Abyss of Chaos. However, to avoid trouble, he tried to take detours. More than a month passed. Finally, Huang Long reached the edge of the central region of the Abyss of Chaos. Although it was only the edge, Ancient Demons and Ancient Beasts with the strength of Divine Kings could be seen everywhere. “A billion miles away, someone is undergoing the Destruction Calamity!” exclaimed Emperor Bell beside Huang Long when they arrived at a realm on the edge of the central region. Destruction Calamity! That person must be at least a half-saint! Huang Long was surprised and immediately used his Heavenly Eye to look.
