"A favor?"
At Tian Xing's words, the corner of his mouth curled slightly, but he said nothing.
Seeing this, Purple Radiance Sword Supreme said, "Now that you have broken through, fellow Daoist, let us set out."
Chen Nianzhi nodded as well and immediately strode forward.
After that, the group of eight continued along the ancient road. Without realizing it, they crossed the vast Chaos and drew close to the heart of the endless Chaos Heavenly Abyss.
By this time, they had already set foot within the Chaos abyss for more than a hundred thousand years.
Just as they neared the center of the Chaos Heavenly Abyss, they discovered a group of ancient immortals fleeing back from ahead. Every one of them wore an expression of terror and despair, as though they had endured some overwhelming horror beyond all resistance.
The group exchanged glances. Purple Radiance Sword Supreme stopped one of them and asked, "What happened ahead? Why are you in such a panic?"
The man's face was filled with terror. Only after recognizing Purple Radiance Sword Supreme did he relax slightly, then immediately said, "The Heavenly Emperor Platform at the center of the Chaos Heavenly Abyss is about to open, but the fiends from the Northern Abyss Otherworld have seized the initiative."
"Imperial Confucian led us there to fight for it, but he was defeated head-on by one of their flame gods and devils. We suffered grievous losses as well."
Chen Nianzhi's brow furrowed slightly upon hearing this.
It turned out that not long ago, Imperial Confucian, Limitless Nine Luminaries Divine Lord, Sacred Demon Heavenly Lord, and the others had arrived near the Chaos Heavenly Abyss ahead of them. They had their first clash with the otherworldly forces upon the Ascension Platform.
After that battle, Imperial Confucian had nearly died.
