Originally, the Black Abyss Contest had not been held once every ten years, but once every hundred years. Yet as time passed, the interval had grown shorter and shorter, until in recent years it had become once every decade.
This was where the source consciousness hid. The shortening of the contest interval undoubtedly meant that the source was in a dire situation.
Judging from the current results, the Sacred Blood of the Blood Ancestor had already begun to erode the Core World's source. If this continued, then even if the Red Talisman Society cultivators could continue holding on desperately, the source would not endure. Once the source was completely devoured by the Treasure Blood, there would no longer be any place in this world for Red Talisman Society cultivators.
"In our confrontation with Sacred Blood Peak, we are at a disadvantage. They have greater numbers, and they also have Sunlight cultivators. But as the defending side, we have our own advantage as well. With the source receiving us, we arrived here ahead of time, which gives us sufficient time to make some preparations!" Hu Dequan's voice continued to ring out.
This was also the greatest reason why the Red Talisman Society had managed to hold on all this time despite being disadvantaged in both numbers and overall strength. Whenever the Black Abyss Contest began, they would arrive in this space beforehand and arrange defensive measures.
The source was, after all, the Core World's source. Naturally, it could exercise its authority to grant its own cultivators certain conveniences.
Thus, the current situation was that the Red Talisman Society cultivators had arrived here first. Only after some time would the people of Sacred Blood Peak be able to open a passage into this place.
How long this gap would last depended on
