After looking over the information, the shopkeeper was certain that this was Gu You's controller. You're taking something you snatched from us and selling it back to us—is that appropriate?

The shopkeeper could only feel bitterness in his heart. He was clearly just a few more years away from retirement and a life of comfort, yet he had somehow run into such a wonderful opportunity.

With Xiang Tian acting like this, where was he here to sell anything? He was clearly here to butcher this old bag of bones.

Seeing that the shopkeeper did not answer, Xiang Tian raised a brow. "What? The shopkeeper doesn't think much of my item?"

The shopkeeper smiled, though the smile looked even worse than crying. He hurriedly explained, "No, no. This controller is simply too valuable. I can't make the decision to purchase it on my own."

"I see."

Xiang Tian nodded thoughtfully, then picked up the device and lightly pressed it in front of the shopkeeper.

"Now you can apply to your superiors."

The two men's pupils rapidly constricted. They could not understand what Xiang Tian was trying to do. Wasn't this the same as telling Black Abyss headquarters, I'm in Sin City—come arrest me?

Sure enough, when the screen lit up, the operator on Black Abyss's end went utterly blank upon seeing Xiang Tian.

Xiang Tian nudged the shopkeeper beside him. "I'll have to trouble you, Shopkeeper."

That instantly terrified the shopkeeper. Once he came to his senses, he steeled himself and shouted, "Come quickly! Xiang Tian is in Sin City! Mobilize the troops at once!"

But before he could finish shouting, blood had already begun spilling from his mouth. Right before Black Abyss headquarters, Xiang Tian drove his hand through the shopkeeper's chest.

"Urgh..."

The shopkeeper looked at Xiang Tian, wanting to speak, but his throat no longer obeyed him. He could not utter a single word.

Bang!

The shopkeeper collapsed to the ground, dying with his eyes wide open.

Looking at him, Xiang Tian said indifferently, "At your age, why are you still so disobedient?"

Su Tong, standing nearby, felt as though she was about to faint. Terror was no longer enough to describe how she felt at that moment.

At Black Abyss headquarters, the instant they received the black market's signal, every screen displayed this scene.

"Xiang Tian, I want you dead!"

Lord of the Black Abyss rose to his feet and roared, smashing all the precious vases and ornaments beside him.

"Everyone, return to your stations! Activate Level One combat readiness!"

Outside Sin City, on the Endless Sea.

The previously calm, windless sea suddenly surged with raging waves. As enormous billows churned beneath the surface, a colossal object emerged from the water.

A blue spherical barrier appeared, as awe-inspiring as the vault of heaven. Within it stood a magnificent city.

Countless points of light flew out from it, filling the sky like a swarm of locusts and striking fear into all who saw them. Every one of them was a Black Abyss fighter craft.

"My God, what is Black Abyss doing? Why have they come out of the Endless Sea?"

"This is bad—run! Nothing good can come from Black Abyss coming out. Don't let my little life get dragged into this."

Even though they had weathered great storms and seen towering waves, they still feared the notorious Black Abyss from the bottom of their hearts. After all, it took a villain to tame a villain. Compared to that organization, they felt almost kind-hearted.

But to their despair, they discovered that Sin City seemed to have been surrounded by Black Abyss at the first possible moment. On the Endless Sea, the Black Abyss city loomed like a colossal beast, while heavily armed forces guarded every side of Sin City. They had no chance of escaping.

This time, Black Abyss had come out in full force.

In the control center, Lord of the Black Abyss watched every corner of Sin City. The destruction of the Ding Family had been told in ever more fantastical terms. Some claimed it was a natural disaster, while others said they had suffered retaliation.

But no matter how rumors ran rampant outside, the Abyss Master did not buy any of it. Having stood toe-to-toe with Riyao for so many years, did they really think Black Abyss was merely some rat in the shadows, only daring to sneak about in secret?

The disturbance in the Endless Sea was far too great to conceal. Unlike the Ding Family, once Black Abyss made too large a move, the entire Heavenly Realm would fix their eyes firmly on them.

Xiang Tian pushed open the door. Inside, there were two more corpses.

He drew out his immortal sword and flew into the sky. Alone, he faced the Black Abyss army, carrying the bearing of a sword immortal.

The moment he appeared, everyone's eyes widened. Wasn't that Xiang Tian? He had come here and directly gone up against Black Abyss? Was this kid insane? This was the Endless Sea, where Black Abyss headquarters was located!

Amid the crowd's shock, a gigantic Divine Armor flew out. It was at least twice as large as Gu You's, its entire construction so intricate that only the words "heavenly craftsmanship" could describe it.

At the sight of this Divine Armor, everyone in Sin City changed color.

This Divine Armor was called Eternal Night, and it belonged to Lord of the Black Abyss.

It had appeared very few times. Rumor had it that the data of this Divine Armor was not the slightest bit inferior to that of a Golden Immortal.

What did a Golden Immortal represent? Other than Riyao, only five people in the entire Heavenly Realm could contend against one, while the three Immortal Kings basically never involved themselves in worldly affairs.

"Xiang Tian, you actually had the nerve to come to my territory. I have to admire you. But since you've come, I assume you had no intention of leaving alive?"

Lord of the Black Abyss suppressed his fury. His voice was strangely calm as he stood in midair.

Looking at the pitch-black steel behemoth before him, Xiang Tian's expression barely changed. He looked at it and said, "Of course. I have no intention of leaving until I wipe every last one of you out."

After hearing his words, the scene fell silent for a moment before erupting in laughter. "Good lad, your ability to boast has truly exceeded my expectations. I'll stand right here and watch how you destroy my Black Abyss!"

Everyone thought Xiang Tian was merely talking big. The strength of Black Abyss was far more than it appeared on the surface.

Suddenly, a figure appeared behind Xiang Tian—a slender woman. She was no longer part of the Yellow Springs Black and White Division.

A slender jade-like hand held a conch shell. Her long hair streamed in the wind, and her blue gown fluttered around her. Her face was exquisitely beautiful, enough to make anyone who looked upon her sink into intoxication.

The instant she appeared, the Abyss Master sensed that something was wrong. His system could not detect even the slightest spiritual energy fluctuation from her, nor could it offer any battle advice.

"The moment you sent out Gu You, your ending was already sealed. I originally wanted to play with you slowly, but someone just had to spoil my fun. So I thought I'd come out and clear my head. But the Ding Family moved too quickly—they insisted on inviting me over for tea. I was careless, and ended up dealing with them."

"Since the iron is hot, I might as well save you some trouble too. So I came knocking myself. Lord of the Black Abyss, you don't mind, do you?"

After hearing him, Lord of the Black Abyss was stunned.

"The Ding Family was destroyed by you?"

He could not believe that Xiang Tian possessed such methods.

But Xiang Tian burst out laughing and looked at him. "You don't believe me? That's fine. I'll give you a demonstration in a moment, and then you will."

With that, he lightly snapped his fingers.

The woman behind him raised the conch shell and gently blew into it. Its call was melodious and pleasing, leaving all who heard it dazed.

All the waterborne fortune between heaven and earth lay under her control. Another anomaly arose across the entire Endless Sea—towering waves surged up once more, and before everyone's eyes, overturned the Black Abyss city and sank it to the ocean floor.

The sight was magnificent and earth-shaking. The grand headquarters of the Black Abyss had been swallowed by the waves in an instant?

Right before Lord of the Black Abyss, they had torn down his home. "Incredible" was no longer enough to describe such a method.
