The Shocking Change in the God Burying Abyss

Shentu Nantian had been in this enclosed space for a day and a night, but he had been meditating and regulating his breathing the whole time.

Cultivation cannot be rushed. To become an unparalleled Great Emperor, one needs not only extraordinary talent and fortune, but also the tempering of one's character.

To obtain an ancient and supreme martial arts manual, one must bathe and burn incense before reading it. This is not a useless ritual, but rather a way to bring oneself into the best possible state.

Now, this is exactly what happened to Shentu Nantian.

As Shentu Nantian entered a state of blissful oblivion, he opened his eyes, clapped his hands, and the black Imprint Array Disk floated in mid-air, slowly rotating.

Energy was injected into it, and the image left in the array immediately appeared.

A giant Kun appeared, and then the black-armored warrior, riding Nightmare Beast, swung his spear!

Upon seeing the spear appear, Shentu Nantian's pupils contracted. He felt as if an invisible giant hand was squeezing his heart, causing it to stop beating and his blood to freeze!

"Hold on, keep going!"

Shentu Nantian said to himself.

He was covered in sweat, clenched his teeth, and his fists were so tight that his fingernails dug into his palms, drawing bright red blood.

Observing this array itself may be a test of the trial participants' courage in the Empress Secret Realm.

Shentu Nantian aspires to become an unparalleled Great Emperor; such an ambition requires great courage to support it.

A small array plate can only present illusions and phantoms; what does that matter?

"Ah!!"

Shentu Nantian roared to the sky, his vital energy surging to its limit, the veins on his neck bulging, and his eyes, injured by the spear light, were bleeding from the corners of his eyes!

However, when the spear pierced through the heavens and earth and penetrated the flesh and blood of the giant Kun, Shentu Nantian could not withstand the immense pressure and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Boom!"

Shentu Nantian was thrown back and crashed heavily against the wall.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth; his face was as pale as paper.

In just over ten breaths, he felt as if he had gone through a great battle, not only expending a great deal of energy but also suffering serious injuries.

However, he couldn't see the image left in the array plate at all.

If you can't even see it clearly, it's even harder to understand it.

Shentu Nantian took a deep breath, took out a healing relic from his Space Ring, swallowed it, and began to meditate and regulate his breathing.

Where there's a will, there's a way. The path of martial arts is essentially about carving out a great road in a seemingly hopeless void.

This process will be fraught with countless dangers, difficulties, and obstacles. Only by overcoming all obstacles and forging ahead can one succeed.

This requires immense perseverance, great fortune, and unparalleled talent. Otherwise, with billions of martial artists in the world, why have so few throughout history become peerless Great Emperor?

Shentu Nantian reminded himself of this, and his mind calmed down.

"I'm aiming for the Martial Dao Peak; what are these difficulties compared to that?"

After recovering somewhat, Shentu Nantian picked up the black array plate once more...

Time passed, day after day. Outside the Empress Secret Realm, amidst the surging tides, people from various factions waited.

The elders who entered the Empress Secret Realm to search for treasures had already come out several dozen days ago.

They originally thought the Empress Secret Realm Trial would only last ten days to a month, but two months have already passed, and there is still no sign of the most outstanding talents appearing.

This has caused some concern among the elders of many Lineage.

"The second round of the Empress Secret Realm tests cultivation speed; we wonder how long they will take to cultivate..."

The Lin Family Old Matriarch, looking at the swaying exit of the Empress Secret Realm, could not feel at ease.

When Lin Yu and the others were eliminated, they revealed the true nature of the second trial: it was a test of cultivation.

For a martial artist, a year or two of training is considered short, and three to five years is not considered long.

During this time, they all have to wait here, otherwise, if these juniors come out and there are no strong people to help them, they may be torn to pieces by the huge vortex of the God Burying Abyss.

Even the elders of the major Lineage were not having an easy time holding on in this enormous vortex.

Ten days or eight days is fine, but enduring the tearing force of the vortex continuously for two months is a great test of their endurance and mental fortitude.

Some people even set up formations on the seabed to help them withstand this pressure.

Some of the younger elders treated the wait in the God Burying Abyss as a form of cultivation, using the pressure of the vortex to temper the vital energy within their bodies.

However, even so, they gradually felt they couldn't hold on any longer, because the God Burying Abyss vortex was becoming more and more terrifying, and the tearing force of the vortex was getting stronger and stronger!

Each major Lineage had its elders working together, taking turns supporting the formation and bearing this immense pressure.

Now, two and a half months have passed, and the end date of the Empress Secret Realm Trial seems to be far away, causing great anxiety among the elders of various Lineage.

If this trend continues, in another two or three months, the tearing force within the God Burying Abyss will become so strong that even the supreme elders of their respective factions will find it difficult to withstand.

If these juniors undergoing trials don't emerge by then, they'll have no choice but to leave the God Burying Abyss.

At that time, the younger generation of each faction will be sucked into the God Burying Abyss the moment they are teleported out of the Empress Secret Realm, and will be pulverized to pieces!

Those still trapped in the Empress Secret Realm are all top elites from various forces. Their loss would be a heavy blow to all the forces present.

Now, some factions are beginning to regret their decision; they wish they hadn't sent their younger members on this trip to the Empress Secret Realm.

Time passed, and several more days went by. Every day, elders from various factions anxiously watched the entrance to the Empress Secret Realm, waiting for the younger generation from their factions to appear.

Now they don't expect any outstanding performances from the younger generation in the Lineage; they just hope they get eliminated as soon as possible.

On the side of the Lihuo Sect, a relatively young-looking Outer Elder stood at the entrance of the Empress Secret Realm, waiting to welcome Gongsun Hong. He was Gongsun Hong's uncle, and his Lineage had worked hard to cultivate such a promising talent, so they couldn't let him die here in a muddle.

Just as he was feeling restless, he glanced at the enormous black vortex of the God Burying Abyss, and in that one glance, he was struck dumb, completely stunned!

What... what happened?

Through layers of seawater, the young elder witnessed a scene he would never forget!

That dark and distant God Burying Abyss is mostly hidden on the seabed, revealing a huge hemispherical black hole, which is the location of a black vortex.

However, at that very moment, within that incredibly distant black hemisphere, spanning tens of thousands of miles, a gigantic eye, filled with black vortexes, appeared silently!

Or rather, this massive black vortex, tens of thousands of miles in diameter, has transformed into an eye!

Those were the eyes of a wild beast, with amber pupils and spindle-shaped, vertical pupils. The moment the young elder saw those eyes, his heart stopped beating, and his soul froze.

He had completely lost the ability to think; one eye filled the entire black vortex.

What exactly is that...?
