Old Survivors of the Abyss of Gods and Demons
Sizzle--
The following morning, a phoenix-tailed shuttle, wreathed in celestial fire and light, tore through the Sea of Clouds, leaving a dazzling crimson trail in the sky above the Western Continent.
The Fire Phoenix Shuttle of the Blazing Heaven Flame Palace was now humming as if it were under immense pressure, because Jiang Minghuang on the deck had pushed it to its limit, her eagerness to slay the demon was palpable.
It's not that it's incomprehensible.
After all, the pursuit of True Lord Tengshe over the past few thousand years was less of a pursuit and more of a defensive counterattack.
There's nothing we can do about it.
Jiang Minghuang knew perfectly well that only by living could she possibly avenge herself.
Only when Tengshe gets close to the borders of the Western Continent, tens of thousands of miles away, will she have the confidence and time to kill him.
Otherwise, if she were to venture alone into the [Abyss of Gods and Demons] and face the siege of five True Lord Great Demon, even if she possessed the miraculous method of rebirth, her chances of victory would be extremely slim.
The operating space is too small.
Not to mention that she is no longer capable of rebirth.
But because of the Baiyi True Lord sitting opposite her, her hopes for this trip were much greater than ever before.
The atmosphere on the deck was quiet.
Jiang Minghuang composed herself, looked at Ye Li who was resting with his eyes closed, and slowly took out three clumps of violent and strange blood droplets from her waist. "These are for you."
Ye Li looked up and reached out to catch the scent. "What is this?"
"The Essence Blood Aura of three Great Demons at the Creation Realm, including the one from Tengshe, is one of the greatest victories for the Western Continent's border defenses in thousands of years."
Jiang Minghuang calmly gazed at the three drops of blood. Although the tracking effect of this [Essence Blood Aura] was far inferior to that of the Tracking Compass refined from nearly a hundred Tengshe Reverse Scale, it still had a sensing range of nearly ten thousand miles.
It is precisely because of the existence of these three drops of blood that the Western Continent's border can promptly detect threats in emergency situations and quickly make corresponding deployments.
To avoid any misunderstanding by Ye Li.
Finally, Jiang Minghuang added, "Most of these three auras were summoned from them by me using corresponding resources from the Flame Palace. The one from Tengshe was the lifeblood I personally cut off back then."
"Originally, the lifeblood should have been the most effective, but because of the [Reverse Scale Compass], it has become the most useless."
"As for the other two True Lord Great Demon, we have only sensed their auras so far, but have not yet encountered them. They are most likely hiding in the Abyss of Gods and Demons and have not shown themselves."
Fortunately, whether it's there or not won't significantly affect our operations...
At this point, Jiang Minghuang subtly observed Ye Li's changing expression and casually said, "Anyway, our target on this trip is Tengshe. For basic safety reasons, we should try to avoid contact with other Great Demon."
To test the waters.
She was testing Ye Li's reaction to these words, to see if he also had such considerations.
If not, she would have to recount the other Great Demon ' [great achievements] in the Western Continent, otherwise it would be difficult to dissuade this Baiyi True Lord from his thoughts.
Fortunately...
Upon hearing this, Ye Li's expression remained unchanged. He simply stored the three auras into his Storage Treasure Tool and then looked back at the woman in red opposite him.
"You continue."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Minghuang immediately relaxed and felt relieved.
The other party was a genuine Martial Dao True Lord. Even if he was not very clear about the situation in the Western Continent, he should have known the significance of the five Creation Great Demon.
There's no need for her to analyze the pros and cons.
However, what she didn't know was that Ye Li felt it was a waste of breath to explain such a thing to her.
In Ye Li's view, this trip must find an opportunity to develop into a team battle at the True Lord level.
Otherwise, wouldn't my trip have been for nothing?
After advancing to the sixth level of the Creation Realm, his combat strength underwent a qualitative improvement.
Even with the protection of Nirvana, Ye Li was quite confident that he could defeat Jiang Minghuang within the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, even at full power.
As for Jiang Minghuang's safety?
This Divine Phoenix True Monarch is capable of anything; if he senses something is wrong, he will run back to the Western Continent. Otherwise, he wouldn't have survived to this level of cultivation.
Ye Li's thoughts raced.
Then Jiang Minghuang's voice rang in my ears again:
"As you should know, the territory of the Abyss of Gods and Demons is extremely vast. Under the suppression of the Ancestral Star's Laws, even Great Demon at the Creation Realm would need a considerable amount of time to traverse it."
"Therefore, as long as we act quickly enough, it is very possible for us to escape unscathed."
"Tell me about the Abyss of Gods and Demons." Ye Li looked up.
"You haven't seen the Western Continent... cough, it's nothing, I misspoke."
Realizing her status and position in front of the other party, Jiang Minghuang quickly suppressed her instinctive questioning behavior and instead spoke:
"Let me put it this way: the location of the Abyss of Gods and Demons was once home to a Human Race power called [Tianyuan Kingdom] ten thousand years ago. Because it refused the aid of the Divine Continent, its defenses were breached by several suddenly appearing True Lord Great Demon."
"Speaking of which, this experience is somewhat similar to that of the Western Continent thousands of years ago."
Mentioning the sudden upheaval in the Western Continent back then, Jiang Minghuang let out a deep breath and said, "However, Western Continent withstood the pressure thanks to a combination of factors. Martial Dao experts were willing to risk their lives to buy time, preventing the impact from escalating further."
"But back then, Tianyuan Kingdom not only lacked the foundation of the Western Continent, but most of its high-ranking officials also possessed a strange arrogance."
"Therefore, the situation was not contained in time."
"A kingdom with only one Creation True Monarch in charge was utterly destroyed by the invasion of a three-headed Creation Great Demon, and its hundreds of millions of citizens became food for the demon beasts."
"And it remains so today."
While the Supreme Pure Divine Continent's nominal power is indeed formidable, with the blessing of [Faithful Wish Power], each of the five continents is guaranteed to have a combatant at the Creation Realm level, or even more.
Even a county magistrate, with the help of this power, can reliably maintain a minimum level of the Divine Connection Realm.
Even if it's just a temporary boost, it's enough to handle most unexpected events.
Not to mention, there's Ying Potian, a pillar of strength in the late stage of the Creation Realm, whose power, enhanced by the power of the Five Continents' vows, could be raised to an unknown level in a short time.
However, such paper data is ultimately limited.
Once the distance exceeds ten thousand miles beyond the Supreme Pure Divine Continent, this kind of improvement brought by external forces will vanish, and there will be no strength left to rescue the [remnants of the Tianyuan Kingdom] from the hands of the five True Lord Great Demon.
This is similar to how, after Ying Potian took charge of the Southern Continent, the True Lord and Great Demon of the Land of Ten Thousand Demons never dared to approach the border of the Southern Continent.
Most of the powerful officials in Shenzhou dare not venture too far from the continent's borders.
Both sides were shouting, "Come here!"
Anyone who agrees is an idiot.
"Does that mean there are actually Human Race activities within the [Abyss of Gods and Demons]?"
After listening quietly, Ye Li asked the question that was currently of most concern to her.
"Not only are there Human Race activities, but their numbers are quite considerable."
Jiang Minghuang shook her head and said, "Those Great Demon are not much dumber than the high-ranking officials of Shenzhou. They rarely have the opportunity to capture such a large number of Human Race, so why wouldn't they raise them like pigsties?"
"Once the required number is reached, or a rare genius emerges, they will directly slaughter them to improve their own cultivation."
"These five powerful Great Demon, originally sent by the Land of Ten Thousand Demons to relieve the pressure on the Southern Continent, now have such an 'opportunity' to nourish themselves, and they probably wouldn't want to spit it out even if it meant death."
As she recounted her story with a hint of cynicism, Ye Li gradually began to form his own ideas about the operation.
He had previously asked Jiang Minghuang about Tracking Compass tracking, and the other party's answer was that the range could be narrowed down to hundreds of kilometers. This distance was practically transparent to him, given his keen senses.
They initially said they could act freely, but now it seems they really need to avoid making too much of a fuss.
Otherwise, if there are treacherous individuals among the masses, killing Tengshe too quickly might not be a good thing.
Fortunately, this Tengshe (a mythical serpent) is definitely not going to escape.
It's just entrapment, something they're quite adept at...
Ye Li's thoughts wandered.
After a moment, he raised his head again to look at Jiang Minghuang and said, "In that case, let's first confirm the location of these five Great Demons."
"No need for too much detail, just a general idea is enough."
