"Master, what do you want to do?" Feitian asked, puzzled.
" The Purgatory Abyss so vast, and great battles are constantly erupting in various places. It's not easy for me to fly safely here on my own, let alone find the materials I need."
"However, these native creatures have survived in the Purgatory Abyss for so long, they should know something about Purgatory Abyss. By enslaving a few of them, we can gain a lot of information about the Purgatory Abyss," Zhang Junbao said.
Information is indispensable in any place. The Purgatory Abyss is fraught with danger, and even the information recorded by the Virtual Universe Company cannot possibly be more than what the native life forms living here know.
"That's a good method. I've launched quite a few miniature detectors, but they can only monitor some changes in the surrounding environment. Finding where treasures are born is just a matter of luck. The native life forms in the Purgatory Abyss naturally know the situation here best," Feitian nodded and said.
"The owner of that tentacle and the minotaur aren't too far from here. The fact that three Immortal Level can survive here means they must know their surroundings very well. Neither the minotaur nor the owner of the tentacle are easy opponents. To survive near them, one must know quite a bit of information."
Disguising the spaceship as native life forms from Purgatory, we stealthily crept in.
During their exchange, the two finalized their battle plan. The Void Whale Spaceship spaceship slowly shifted and transformed into the shape of a small beast, somewhat similar to the Minotaur from before, but much smaller, only a few hundred meters in size. The spaceship, fused with Metal Lifeform, could freely transform; under Feitian's control, changing into the form of other creatures was effortless.
The Void Whale Spaceship now resembles the Minotaur race, Subduing Mountain Ox, commonly found in Purgatory. Its aura is only at the Domain Lord Level, and its expression is somewhat simple-minded as it slowly wanders towards an Immortal territory.
Shortly after, an Immortal Level Black Demon Hyena hyena twitched its nose, as if it had discovered something.
"This is the aura of the Subduing Mountain Ox? It's the Subduing Mountain Ox clan guarded by the Giant Desolation Marquis. What do they want by suddenly intruding into my territory?" The Black Demon Hyena opened its large, serrated mouth, its eyes filled with greed and murderous intent.
He extended his divine sense over and found that the Subduing Mountain Ox was completely lost, wandering around, and did not seem to have come specifically to find it.
"Could it be a stray little Subduing Mountain Ox, with only the strength of Domain Lord Level? Judging from its foolish appearance, it doesn't seem like it's capable of serving as an envoy."
The Black Demon Hyena's huge mouth split open, and highly corrosive saliva dripped onto the ground, causing it to hiss and corrode, creating a crater hundreds of meters deep.
" The Giant Desolation Marquis usually oppresses us so badly, and now a little fellow under his protection has mistakenly trespassed into my territory, so I'm sorry."
The meat of the Minotaur race is extremely delicious. The last time I had it was three thousand epochs ago. Today I'm finally able to feast. This damned Purgatory is impossible to escape, and I can't enjoy endless delicacies. I'm almost going crazy!
"As long as I handle this cleanly, even if the Giant Desolation Marquis comes looking for me, he won't have any evidence."
Black Demon Hyena's mottled eyes darted around, and he quickly made up his mind.
"Master, is it really feasible for us to walk slowly like this?"
"Don't worry, fishing requires patience. Creatures in Purgatory have been trapped here for countless eons, and have long since lost all their patience. I don't believe that such a fresh and juicy Subduing Mountain Ox would be foolish enough to run into its territory and still be able to resist."
"You just need to avoid other native life forms, and make sure you are not discovered by anyone else before that Immortal arrives."
"It's a piece of cake. I don't need to fly at high speed now. I have the situation under my control within a radius of ten million kilometers," Feitian said confidently.
"Master, it's here! It's still 9.2 million kilometers away!" Suddenly, Feitian issued an alarm.
"This is it! Now that we're here, let's not leave!"
A gaping Black Demon Hyena, reeking of a deadly poisonous stench, suddenly enveloped the entire spaceship, its mottled eyes filled with mockery.
Having been so badly suppressed by the Giant Desolation Marquis in the past, now that he has devoured one of his juniors, it can be considered as making up for a little bit of the interest.
However, the seemingly harmless and docile Subduing Mountain Ox suddenly transformed into a spaceship resembling a Void Whale. As the Black Demon Hyena Immortal approached, it suddenly accelerated and pierced through its head.
Black Demon Hyena immediately sensed that something was wrong.
"A spaceship I've never seen before? These are extraterrestrials!"
Black Demon Hyena was trying to restore his divine body, but found that he was completely unable to move, and his head, which had been blasted apart by the Void Whale Spaceship, was still suspended in mid-air.
A flicker of panic crossed Black Demon Hyena Hyena's mottled eyes. What on earth was going on?
"Could it be that Giant Desolation Marquis? He wouldn't need to go to such lengths to kill me!"
Zhang Junbao's figure suddenly appeared before the Black Demon Hyena, and the Spacetime Mist quickly enveloped the Black Demon Hyena's body, continuously annihilating his divine body.
The Black Demon Hyena's mottled eyes shrank rapidly, his pupils shrinking as he tried to break free, but found his body seemingly out of his control, unable to struggle.
"Oh no, this is terrifying! My divine body is completely out of my control! Why are all the surrounding Power of Law disobeying me?!"
73...55...23...12
Black Demon Hyena was extremely conflicted. In the Purgatory Abyss, he didn't even have the courage to self-destruct, because there was no way he could be resurrected afterward.
"Hateful..."
The divine body was continuously annihilated by Zhang Junbao, and even the consciousness began to slowly fade away.
"That's about it. His will should be nearing dormancy, making him ready for Soul Enslavement."
The Black Demon Hyena Immortal before them did not choose to self-destruct immediately; its strength had been suppressed to the extreme by Zhang Junbao. An Immortal was not even Marquis was completely powerless to struggle under the dual suppression of Zhang Junbao's Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation and the Spacetime Mist.
Looking at the Black Demon Hyena before him, Zhang Junbao directly used the ' Ten Thousand Heart Soul Control Secret Art '. The Black Demon Hyena's body had already been weakened by his presence, and he was almost unconscious. At this moment, he was like meat on a chopping board, with no power to resist whatsoever.
A moment later--
"We succeeded!" Zhang Junbao smiled.
He released his control over the Black Demon Hyena, which was already extremely weak. The Black Demon Hyena still lowered its head and prostrated itself before Zhang Junbao in submission.
"Master!" the Black Demon Hyena said in an extremely weak voice.
"How long have you been in this Purgatory Abyss?" Zhang Junbao asked.
"I was born in the Purgatory Abyss for over three thousand epochs and have never left," Black Demon Hyena said respectfully.
"For an Immortal to survive in Purgatory for over three thousand epochs is no easy feat."
"I have a special ability: I can detect the presence of enemies from 20 million kilometers away. If there is danger, I can quickly escape, which is why I have been able to survive until now."
"Oh? The detection range is even farther than the probes on the spaceship! The life forms in Purgatory really need some special abilities!"
"Do you know where the treasures in Purgatory are born? I'm looking for materials of the 'Space-Time Illusory Annihilation Gold ' grade," Zhang Junbao asked.
"Reporting to the master, most treasures within the Purgatory Abyss are without any pattern. Some treasures are born only after being nurtured for countless eons in the special environment of Purgatory."
"We sometimes get lucky and find some, but I've never seen a material of this caliber as Space-Time Illusory Annihilation Gold before," Black Demon Hyena replied respectfully.
Zhang Junbao frowned slightly. Since the Black Demon Hyena had become his Soul Slave, it naturally wouldn't lie. That could only prove that the Space-Time Illusory Annihilation Gold was an extremely rare treasure even in the Purgatory Abyss.
"Where in Purgatory are the most treasures born?" Zhang Junbao continued to ask.
"The place in the Purgatory Abyss where the most treasures are born must be near the Eye of the Abyss!"
" The Eye of the Abyss? What kind of place is that?"
Zhang Junbao asked in confusion, "The information about the Purgatory Abyss within the Virtual Universe Company doesn't include anything about the Eye of the Abyss, but Black Demon Hyena does."
"Reporting to the master, the Eye of the Abyss is the most dangerous place in this Purgatory Abyss. No one dares to truly enter the Eye of the Abyss. The fluctuations of the Law there are extremely obvious. Everything around has been nurtured by the Eye of the Abyss for billions of epochs. Even an ordinary Stone has become a precious material containing the power of the Law."
"If Master is looking for treasure, the Eye of the Abyss should have it," Black Demon Hyena replied.
"Hahaha... I originally wanted to subdue the other native creatures in this area to help me find treasures, but I didn't expect that the first creature I enslaved would learn such important information."
I've never heard anyone else mention the Eye of the Abyss, so how do you know about it?
"Master, I was originally born in the Black Demon Hyena clan near the Eye of the Abyss. However, starting from a billion epochs ago, the Eye of the Abyss began to change. The fluctuations of its Law became more pronounced than before. Countless powerful beings within the Purgatory rushed to the vicinity of the Eye of the Abyss, and we, the weak races, were driven out."
"I learned this from my inherited memories. Those powerful beings joined forces to seal the Eye of the Abyss. No one else could get close, so naturally they wouldn't know the wonders of the Eye of the Abyss." Black Demon Hyena tried hard to put on a flattering expression, but given his appearance, his mouth was filled with a highly corrosive liquid, and his bared teeth and fawning manner made Zhang Junbao feel terrified.
"A powerful being has actually sealed off the Eye of the Abyss. This means they want to Eye of the Abyss this sacred cultivation ground, and most of the treasures nurtured within have probably fallen into the hands of these powerful beings."
" Black Demon Hyena, I ask you, what is the strength of those beings who sealed the Eye of the Abyss?"
"Terrible, absolutely terrifying, I dare not go near that place at all!"
"I only glanced at it from afar, and its terrifying aura rendered me unable to move. If those powerful figures hadn't ignored me, I wouldn't be alive now. To them, I'm too weak." A hint of fear flashed in Black Demon Hyena's eyes. Even after becoming Zhang Junbao's Soul Slave, he still couldn't forget that terrifying look in his eyes.
"Terrifying? How does it compare to the Giant Desolation Marquis, that Giant God minotaur?" Zhang Junbao pressed.
" The Giant Desolation Marquis is no match for them at all; he is definitely King Level existence, and a powerful one among King Rank!"
After listening to Black Demon Hyena's introduction, Zhang Junbao felt a headache coming on. How could he possibly get close to such a terrifyingly powerful being who controlled the Eye of the Abyss?
"Master, I think it's necessary to gather more information. There are King-level Immortal near the Eye of the Abyss, and it seems there's more than one. If we rush over there rashly, we might get attacked," Feitian warned.
"Indeed, we must not be careless in the Purgatory Abyss. I don't want to die yet. Let's capture the other two Immortal nearby first."
" Black Demon Hyena, first restore your divine body and hand over the treasures you've collected over the years," Zhang Junbao said.
"Yes, it is my honor to serve my master!"
Black Demon Hyena said respectfully, and then presented a storage ring.
Soul Slave obey their masters' every command without question, never harboring even the slightest thought of resistance deep within their hearts—this is the most terrifying aspect. They willingly sacrifice everything for their masters.
Zhang Junbao inspected the items; although the level of the treasures wasn't high, the quantity was enormous.
"Wow, Master, there's a Blue Gold Stone in this Black Demon Hyena's ring! This one weighs a whopping 2 tons and is worth over 50 million Hunyuan Unit! There are also quite a few other precious materials. No wonder it's the Purgatory Abyss; even an Ordinary Immortal is so wealthy!" Feitian Tian exclaimed excitedly as he counted the contents of the storage ring.
"They'll be trapped in the Purgatory Abyss their whole lives. What good will these treasures do them? There's no future here, and no Treasure Refiner to refine these materials into treasures. To them, these are just pretty Stone." Zhang Junbao shook his head and looked into the distance.
There was no hope in Purgatory, and he didn't want to be trapped and die Purgatory either.
"Let's go find the other two Immortal. I need to gather more information about the Purgatory Abyss."
The Void Whale Spaceship set off again and soon arrived at the locations of the other two Immortal, whereupon it used the same method to enslave them all.
Soon after, Zhang Junbao arrived at a mountain peak. The place that had originally been occupied by one of the Soul Slave now belonged to Zhang Junbao.
This mountain is ten thousand kilometers high, surrounded by clouds and mist. At its summit is the place where the Soul Slave Thunderclap Diamond Ape resides.
"Let's do it here!"
Zhang Junbao had no intention of venturing out rashly. Some powerful beings in the Purgatory liked to wander around aimlessly, venturing out without knowing the situation. If he were to encounter King Level Immortal, escaping would not be so easy.
To venture deep into such a dangerous Purgatory in search of treasures, one absolutely needs certain survival skills.
He flipped his palm, revealing a World Ring, and threw it into a crack in the nearby rock. The World Ring completely disappeared into the Stone, and Zhang Junbao's figure vanished abruptly.
Unless a powerful individual meticulously probes every inch, it is impossible to discover the World Ring hidden deep within the rocks.
At the same time, he ordered his Soul Slave Thunderclap Diamond Ape, to remain as it always was. Although the mountain had changed owners, it did not attract the attention of other powerful figures in the surrounding area.
The space within the World Ring was vast; Zhang Junbao arrived at a palace.
"Next, I need to study the Clone Secret Technique. Entering the area around the Eye of the Abyss is extremely dangerous. Only by Clone can I move freely even in such a perilous place!"
Zhang Junbao had already planned ahead. His purpose in entering the Purgatory was twofold: firstly, to find the treasures needed to craft array plates in the future, and secondly, to cultivate the Clone Secret Technique.
