Within the Sacred Ancient Abyss, because countless peak experts had fallen there, and because the spiritual energy within their bodies had been far too powerful, their spiritual energy did not dissipate after death. As a result, all sorts of strange phenomena were formed.
During the period of waiting in Sacred Abyss City, Lu Bai did not go out, nor did he meet with Mu Chen and the others. He simply waited quietly until the Sacred Ancient Abyss opened. Then, accompanied by Wan Feng, the three of them headed toward the center of the Sacred Abyss Continent.
Along the way, the three of them truly witnessed just how terrifying the environment of this abyss was. Every single one of them was alarmed and fearful.
"This is merely child's play. The environment within the Sacred Ancient Abyss is several times harsher and crueler than this," Wan Feng grinned as he saw the solemn expressions on Lu Bai and the other two.
At this moment, Lu Bai's gaze looked toward a distant region. He saw that the space there actually appeared cracked, and an extremely terrifying pressure enveloped his heart, making it difficult to breathe.
Even Wan Feng, a Heaven Sovereign expert, became serious upon seeing this and said in a deep voice, "That is the temporal storm."
The three looked toward the shattered space and saw a silver white storm raging within heaven and earth. It seemed endless. Outside the storm, no matter existed at all, as though it were a land of absolute nothingness.
At this moment, Chu Xiong and She Ming both felt their scalps go numb, because they knew that to enter the Sacred Ancient Abyss, they would have to pass through the temporal storm.
No wonder assistance from a Heaven Sovereign expert was required to qualify for entering the Sacred Ancient Abyss. The temporal storm alone was enough to stop all those lacking sufficient strength.
"In another incense stick's worth of time, it should become the best moment to enter the temporal storm," Wan Feng slowly said as he gazed at the raging temporal storm.
Lu Bai and the others all nodded, while their bodies gradually tensed.
During the waiting period, Lu Bai could vaguely sense dozens of powerful auras around them. These should all belong to Heaven Sovereign experts, meaning every single aura represented a team preparing to enter the Sacred Ancient Abyss.
These were all potential competitors.
After all, the opportunities within the Sacred Ancient Abyss were simply too tempting. Killing and treasure seizing would definitely not be uncommon there.
At that time, nobody would care about what background one had. Once inside, only strength mattered!
Boom!
Just as Lu Bai was deep in thought, thunderous rumbles suddenly erupted from within the distant temporal storm. The massive sound shook heaven and earth, causing even the ground to tremble.
As the roaring sounds spread, the temporal storm that had originally been raging wildly gradually slowed down, becoming somewhat calmer for the rare occasion.
Seeing this scene, Lu Bai and the others immediately knew that the best opportunity to enter the Sacred Ancient Abyss had arrived!
"Move!"
Seeing this, brilliant light surged within Wan Feng's eyes. He stomped his foot, and with a raised hand, billions of streams of stellar torrents roared forth.
"Remember this. If you wish to leave the Sacred Ancient Abyss, crush the jade talisman I gave you, and you will be teleported back to the Sacred Abyss Continent!"
Lu Bai, Chu Xiong, and She Ming all nodded. Then, with a tap of their toes, their figures shot explosively outward. As they rushed out, the stellar torrent roared over and directly enveloped the three of them.
Boom!
The violent stellar torrent resembled a giant dragon of the starry sky. Amid its furious roar, it carried Lu Bai and the other two toward the silver temporal storm. Their final trace of crimson rapidly disappeared into the boundless silver expanse.
This was an incomparably shattered world. Ancient and desolate auras permeated heaven and earth. The sky was dim yellow, while on the distant horizon, even the setting sun appeared fragmented, radiating only faint light.
Across the earth, endless ravines split open like abysses. Within those pitch black abysses seemed to be endless darkness that caused one's hair to stand on end.
It was as though this world had once been crushed apart by a terrifying giant hand, completely shattering all vitality and laws within it.
"So this is one of the decisive battlefields between the Great Thousand World and the Feind Races during the ancient era?"
Upon a lonely mountain peak, Lu Bai and the other two stood there, observing the surrounding environment.
Chu Xiong and She Ming were clearly stunned. Looking at the upside down scenery and distorted space around them, their faces were filled with shock.
Lu Bai had long been mentally prepared. Seeing their reactions, he spoke, "Quite a few Heaven Sovereigns fell within this space. Their auras fused into the entire shattered region, producing enormous suppression against those who enter. Be careful."
The two nodded and followed behind Lu Bai as they began moving deeper inward.
Although Lu Bai had remained mostly inactive within Sacred Abyss City during this period, Chu Xiong and She Ming had not been idle. They had purchased information about a certain ruin from intelligence merchants.
This information had been bought using Demon Slayer points. Since the seller was also a Demon Slayer, the reliability of the information was guaranteed. The target of the three this time was precisely that ruin!
Along the way, the three moved extremely cautiously. In truth, this was indeed the correct decision.
Wuuu...
A dim yellow wind suddenly howled endlessly through heaven and earth. Although the dim yellow gale appeared harmless, once spiritual energy came into contact with it, the spiritual energy would instantly decompose into wind and sand.
Seeing that the situation was bad, Lu Bai and the other two quickly hid within a mountain cave. Looking at the howling dim yellow wind outside, their faces all carried expressions of horror.
Especially Chu Xiong. His arm had actually turned dim yellow. Earlier, because he had failed to dodge in time, his arm had been struck by the yellow wind. The spiritual energy on his arm had been decomposed, and even the flesh of his arm had nearly turned into sand.
Fortunately, Lu Bai reacted quickly after understanding the situation and immediately dragged him back. Otherwise, even with Chu Xiong's Half Step Great Perfection strength, once he entered deeply into the yellow wind, he probably would not have lasted long before turning into countless grains of sand.
"What a terrifying yellow wind!"
Chu Xiong still felt lingering fear, while cold sweat seeped from his forehead.
As a Demon Slayer, he had experienced countless dangers over the years, but none had ever been as thrilling as this. The thought that he had almost turned directly into sand made him shudder uncontrollably.
"This should be the Spiritual Dissolving Wind..." She Ming stared solemnly at the yellow wind dancing wildly outside the cave.
Lu Bai nodded and said, "This is indeed the Spiritual Dissolving Wind. According to legend, this wind causes absolutely no harm to beings without spiritual energy. However, against spiritual energy, it possesses fatal destructive power. Once spiritual energy comes into contact with it, it will be decomposed into wind and sand."
"This is also considered one of the most terrifying natural disasters within the Sacred Ancient Abyss."
"Only one of them..." Chu Xiong's eyes twitched. At this moment, he finally gained a direct understanding of the dangers within the Sacred Ancient Abyss.
However, Lu Bai's eyes were slightly shining as he looked at the yellow wind before him.
He thought of the scene in the original story where Mu Chen subdued the Spiritual Dissolving Wind.
If he could also gather some of this Spiritual Dissolving Wind and fuse it into his Array, perhaps it would produce unexpected effects?
Just like the Grandmaster spiritual Array he had recently created himself, the Heavenly River Purification World Array.
The moment the thought appeared, Lu Bai immediately prepared to act.
In the original story, Mu Chen had subdued the Spiritual Dissolving Wind by relying on the sealing power within his Saint Buddha Pagoda. Lu Bai could completely copy that idea and directly use the Five Elements sealing power to deal with this Spiritual Dissolving Wind.
Moreover, Lu Bai intended to subdue a larger quantity of Spiritual Dissolving Wind, or perhaps even other calamity powers from the Sacred Ancient Abyss, storing them within his Immortal True Form Diagram so that he could study them properly after leaving this place.
Thus, under the shocked gazes of Chu Xiong and She Ming, Lu Bai raised his hand, and the Immortal True Form Diagram released dazzling radiance. In the next moment, it slowly floated out of the cave.
Buzz!
The instant the Immortal True Form Diagram entered the Spiritual Dissolving Wind, billions of five colored spiritual lights surged forth, resisting the decomposition power of the wind. At the same time, the scroll of the Immortal True Form Diagram unfurled with a rustling sound. The five Emperor figures upon the painting flickered brilliantly, and suddenly a powerful suction force roared out. Afterwards, streams of Spiritual Dissolving Wind were visibly absorbed continuously into the scroll.
This absorption continued for quite some time before Lu Bai suddenly waved his sleeve, causing the Immortal True Form Diagram to roll back and reenter his body.
This scene deeply shocked Chu Xiong and She Ming, further increasing their understanding of just how terrifying Lu Bai truly was.
However, the two quickly became delighted.
The stronger Lu Bai was, the greater the benefits they would obtain during this trip, would they not?
At this moment, the two felt even more that their earlier decision had been incredibly wise!
"Let's go..." Lu Bai smiled lightly and spoke to the two.
Although he did not know what the two were thinking at this moment, it would not bring him any harm, would it?
During the following journey, while the three continued advancing toward their destination, Lu Bai also searched for other calamity powers that he could subdue.
It had to be said that the dangers of the Sacred Ancient Abyss were truly numerous and terrifying. Along the way, the three encountered far more than just Spiritual Dissolving Wind. There was also the pitch black Soul Freezing Snow, Bone Melting Rain, Corpse Yin Flame, and many others.
However, none of them could escape Lu Bai's Five Elements sealing power. Coupled the Immortal True Form Diagram, Lu Bai simply packaged all of these things away.
Thus, despite occasional dangers, the three gradually ventured deeper into the Sacred Ancient Abyss.
As they progressed further inward, although those natural calamities no longer appeared as frequently, none of Lu Bai's group relaxed in the slightest.
Because they all knew clearly that the dangers they might encounter next would likely be ten times, even a hundred times more terrifying than those calamities!
Very quickly, patches of green began appearing within the vision of the three. Then they grew larger and larger, until before long, a vast mountain range stretching endlessly appeared before them.
Clearly, they had already arrived within the true interior of the Sacred Ancient Abyss. Since intact vegetation had appeared around them, it meant this region was no longer affected by the calamities outside.
"Hm?"
However, just after arriving at the foot of the mountains, Lu Bai sharply sensed an unusual spiritual energy fluctuation coming from deep within the mountain range.
"Someone is fighting?!"
Sensing the disturbances in the surrounding spiritual energy, Chu Xiong and She Ming quickly reacted.
"Let's go take a look..."
Where there was battle, there would inevitably be profit to gain. Lu Bai would never miss an opportunity to play the role of the fisherman benefiting in the end.
Clearly, Chu Xiong and She Ming shared the same thought. After hearing Lu Bai's words, excitement flashed within both their eyes.
The location sensed by Lu Bai was a valley. Deep within the valley hung a massive waterfall upon a cliff wall, endlessly crashing into the spring water below.
At this moment, two groups were confronting each other from opposite sides of the waterfall.
Lu Bai used Five Elements spiritual energy to conceal the figures of the three while observing the scene from afar.
Among the group on the right side, the leader was a burly man.
Although this man's appearance seemed ordinary, an almost tangible baleful aura continuously radiated from his body, making him resemble an Asura. Those of weaker strength would likely feel terror with a single glance.
Moreover, judging from the powerful spiritual energy fluctuations vaguely emitted from his body, this person was clearly also a super expert who had stepped into the Great Perfection Earth Sovereign stage.
"This person should also be a Demon Slayer..." She Ming whispered softly.
"And also a Demon Slayer of rather high rank. At the very least, he should be an Intermediate Demon Slayer!"
Lu Bai nodded.
Only such people would possess such terrifying baleful energy.
After all, not everyone possessed Lu Bai's luck and strength to directly advance to Advanced Demon Slayer after a single demon slaying mission.
Among the ranks of Demon Slayers, even Low Rank Demon Slayers were battle hardened veterans, much less Intermediate Demon Slayers.
Otherwise, why would Lu Bai have bothered bringing Chu Xiong and She Ming along with him?
"A six man Demon Slayer squad. It seems this group can also be considered tough opponents."
Chu Xiong grinned but disagreed. "Tough opponents? I don't think so. Look at the people opposite them. Whether in cultivation realm or numbers, they surpass them. If a real fight breaks out, it will probably end with both sides suffering heavily!"
Lu Bai did not care much about this and calmly replied, "Wouldn't that be even better? At that time, we can reap the benefits as the fisherman."
"However, I don't think they'll actually fight."
Although treasures were tempting, neither side present consisted of people unable to control their greed. They definitely would not truly fight to mutual destruction. The more likely outcome was that they would cooperate and jointly explore this ruin.
"Do you see it..." Lu Bai carefully observed for a moment before gesturing toward the two. "If I'm not mistaken, this ruin should be behind that waterfall!"
Chu Xiong and She Ming were startled and hurriedly looked carefully toward the waterfall.
Sure enough, they quickly noticed the suspicious aspect of the waterfall.
"This waterfall is an illusion?" Chu Xiong raised his brows and could not help but ask.
Although the waterfall appeared flawless on the surface, even giving off thunderous water roars that made one feel immersed within the scene, with careful observation and the experience and insight of the two, they could still notice something unusual.
"This is not an illusion, but an Array!"
Lu Bai spoke with absolute certainty.
Afterward, he looked toward the two groups and could not help revealing a cold smile.
"If they did not prepare in advance, they probably will not even be able to enter through the door. They may even suffer severe losses!"
