The black abyssal light surged like ink-dark waves, instantly devouring the gentle spiritual energy of the Primordial Pure Land. The massive figure of the Lord of the Abyss rose from beneath the earth, twisted abyssal runes swirling around him. Each rune was engraved with the profound meaning of "devouring the Primordial Origin and dismantling the source." He was not an external threat, but an evil will born alongside the Primordial Pure Land. He fed on the Primordial Origin and had been sealed by the First Primordial Lord until now.
"Primordial brat, after a thousand years of sealing, I'm finally free today!" The Lord of the Abyss's voice sounded like the wails of countless ghosts. He raised a hand and swept it through the air, sending countless abyssal tentacles bursting from the ground and winding toward Xuan Fu and the Primordial Lord. Wherever the tentacles passed, the Primordial spiritual energy was forcibly devoured, the ground crumbled into nothingness, and even space was torn open with hideous cracks. Its devouring power was more targeted than the Void Lord's, specifically countering the Primordial Origin.
The black-and-white figure of the Primordial Lord erupted with dazzling light, and his complete Primordial Origin condensed into a black-and-white barrier. "Lord of the Abyss, you dare break free and emerge into the world? Today, I'll send you into eternal damnation!" He and Xuan Fu stood back-to-back, their black-and-white Primordial Power intertwining with the seven-colored violet-gold power of the myriad realms to form a composite defense that blocked the incoming abyssal tentacles.
Xuan Fu's Myriad Realms Primordial Power had yet to fully recover, and the light of his talisman body was somewhat dim. Even so, he gritted his teeth and persisted. "The Lord of the Abyss feeds on the Primordial Origin. If we let him rampage, not only will the Primordial Pure Land be destroyed, but the myriad realms will also lose their greatest aid in recovering autonomously! We must join forces and seal him again!"
The Lord of the Abyss sneered. The abyssal runes condensed into a gigantic Origin-Devouring Blade, which he swung toward the Defensive Barrier. "Seal me? Today, I'll devour the Primordial and then the myriad realms, becoming the true Abyssal Supreme!" Wherever the blade passed, the black-and-white and seven-colored lights dimmed at once. Web-like cracks appeared across the Defensive Barrier, and the tremendous impact sent Xuan Fu and the Primordial Lord staggering backward, blood spilling from both their mouths.
The Primordial Lord's expression grew increasingly grave. "The Lord of the Abyss is several times stronger than when he was sealed. You and I alone cannot withstand him. We must activate the Primordial Pure Land's 'Origin Guardian Array' and use the power of the entire Pure Land to suppress him!" He waved a hand, and green Primordial spiritual energy spread throughout the Pure Land, activating ancient formation runes hidden among the spiritual plants and mountains.
Countless formation runes converged from all directions, forming a massive Green Light curtain that temporarily trapped the Lord of the Abyss. But his Origin-Devouring power was far too tyrannical. The runes on the curtain were being devoured at a rapid pace, and the Green Light was gradually turning pitch-black. The Origin Guardian Array could collapse at any moment. "Xuan Fu, I'll maintain the Origin Guardian Array. Hurry to the core of the Pure Land and activate the 'Primordial Supreme Treasure'—the Primordial Pearl! Only with the treasure's power can we completely seal the Lord of the Abyss!"
Xuan Fu did not hesitate in the slightest. He transformed into a seven-colored violet-gold streak of light and flew toward the core of the Primordial Pure Land. Along the way, the spiritual plants and land polluted by the abyssal power left him alarmed. The Lord of the Abyss's erosion was faster than he had imagined. If he did not activate the Primordial Pearl soon, the entire Pure Land would become an abyssal domain.
When he reached the core of the Pure Land, Xuan Fu saw a cyan treasure pearl floating in the Origin Pool. It was the Primordial Pearl. The treasure pearl radiated a pure aura of Primordial Origin, but interference from the abyssal power had weakened its light. Xuan Fu did not delay. He poured the remaining Myriad Realms Primordial Power within him and the power of the Primordial Token into the pearl. "Primordial Pearl, awaken at once! Help us seal the Lord of the Abyss!"
The cyan treasure pearl's light suddenly surged, and a vast power of Primordial Origin gushed from within it, resonating with Xuan Fu's power. He grasped the Primordial Pearl and turned to fly toward the battlefield. Along the way, the abyssal pollution was rapidly purified by the pearl's power, and withered spiritual plants regained their vitality.
At that moment, the Primordial Lord's Origin Guardian Array was already on the verge of collapse. His black-and-white figure was covered in black marks of abyssal erosion, and his aura had weakened to its limit. The Lord of the Abyss struck again with the Origin-Devouring Blade, about to shatter the light curtain completely. "Lord of the Abyss, take this!" Xuan Fu roared. The cyan light of the Primordial Pearl fused with the seven-colored violet-gold light of the Myriad Realms Primordial Talisman, forming a Primordial Abyss-Suppressing Talisman that slammed into the Origin-Devouring Blade.
The instant the talisman and blade collided, the cyan and black-violet lights annihilated each other. A massive Energy Shockwave blasted the surrounding abyssal tentacles to pieces. The Lord of the Abyss let out a pained roar, and his figure turned illusory. Clearly, the Primordial Pearl's power had dealt him a heavy blow. The Primordial Lord seized the opportunity. His black-and-white Origin Power surged, driving the power of the Origin Guardian Array to its limit and temporarily trapping the Lord of the Abyss.
"Xuan Fu, hurry and use the Primordial Pearl to set up a sealing array!" The Primordial Lord's voice was filled with exhaustion. "I can't hold out much longer!"
Without hesitation, Xuan Fu threw the Primordial Pearl into the air. The treasure pearl hovered above the Lord of the Abyss, radiating countless cyan runes that formed a massive sealing array. He and the Primordial Lord burned their origins simultaneously, pouring their Myriad Realms Primordial Power and Primordial Origin into the sealing array. The cyan runes rapidly contracted, wrapping the Lord of the Abyss tightly.
The Lord of the Abyss struggled wildly within the sealing array, his abyssal power surging as he tried to break through the seal. "Don't even think about sealing me! The Primordial Pearl may be powerful, but it can't stop my determination to devour the Origin!" His Origin-Devouring power began frantically devouring the cyan runes of the sealing array. The light on the formation runes gradually dimmed, and signs of damage appeared.
Xuan Fu's expression changed. He could feel the Primordial Pearl's power rapidly being depleted. If he did not replenish its energy soon, the sealing array would eventually collapse. Just then, a massive pillar of energy light suddenly came from the direction of the myriad realms. It was support sent by the Void Ancestor and the Lord of Balance, who had led the power of the Belief of All Spirits. "Fellow Daoist Xuan Fu, we've come to help you!"
The pillar of energy light poured into the sealing array, and the cyan runes blazed once more. The Lord of the Abyss's struggles gradually weakened. Xuan Fu and the Primordial Lord took the opportunity to increase their output, and the formation runes rapidly contracted, forcibly suppressing the Lord of the Abyss's power. "Lord of the Abyss, today you'll return to your seal and never emerge again!"
Just as the seal was about to be completed, the Lord of the Abyss suddenly erupted with a strange gray light. This light was neither abyssal power nor any known force. Instead, it came from the Chaos Abyss beneath the abyss, carrying the ultimate rhythm of "the Chaos Abyss devours all." Even the sealing power of the Primordial Pearl became sluggish.
"It's the aura of the Lord of the Chaos Abyss!" The Primordial Lord's expression changed drastically. "He is the Origin Will of the Lord of the Abyss, hidden all this time in the deepest part of the abyss. He is even more powerful and terrifying than the Lord of the Abyss!"
The gray light rapidly spread, forcibly eroding the sealing array's cyan runes. The Lord of the Abyss's power surged once more, and his figure became solid again. He looked at Xuan Fu and the Primordial Lord, a trace of mad delight flashing through his eyes. "My Origin Will has awakened, and the power of the Chaos Abyss is about to descend! Today, not only will I be freed—the entire Primordial Pure Land and the myriad realms will become part of the Chaos Abyss!"
Xuan Fu's heart grew heavy. He could sense that the power of the Chaos Abyss was several times more terrifying than the Lord of the Abyss. It was a true ultimate threat capable of devouring the Primordial and the myriad realms. The sealing array of the Primordial Pearl was rapidly collapsing, while his and the Primordial Lord's power had nearly been exhausted. The situation had once again fallen into crisis.
An ultimate crisis concerning the survival of the Primordial Pure Land and the myriad realms had quietly descended at the edge of the Chaos Abyss.
