Seeing that he could not stop Huang Huayuan, Zhang Tianxuan no longer tried to persuade him.
"Since Senior Brother wishes to go in and investigate, I'll accompany you."
He could not simply watch Huang Huayuan brave the danger alone. He intended to enter with him.
"Nonsense."
Huang Huayuan barked a rebuke, but Zhang Tianxuan wore a grave expression.
"Senior Brother is not afraid of death. Does that make me some coward who clings to life and fears death?"
Liu Qingyao, standing nearby, also spoke. "Junior Brother Zhang is right. We came together, and we will leave together."
Seeing the two of them so resolute, Huang Huayuan was full of helplessness.
"Once we enter, you will obey all my commands. If I tell you to leave, leave immediately."
Then, to uncover the source of the calamity, the three endured the immense pressure on their minds and continued forward.
After venturing dozens of miles deeper, the Black Miasma Abyss appeared at the end of their sight—a bottomless abyss shrouded in towering black mist.
Endless black devil mist rolled at its mouth, while surging Killing Intent blotted out the sky and sun.
Merely gazing at it from afar made their souls tremble and their cultivation foundations quake.
"This is the place. The source of the Demons' aura lies here."
The three held their breath and carefully edged closer, intending to determine the details of the monstrous thing at the bottom of the abyss.
Rumble!
The instant they stepped into the abyss, a demonic might that crushed heaven and earth and suppressed all things erupted without warning.
A negligible wisp of demonic qi surged up from the depths, transforming into an invisible shockwave that swept across the land.
Pfft!
The three were struck, and the protective spiritual light around them shattered instantly.
Blood gushed
