The Special Building at the Bottom of the Abyss

The two moved at an incredible speed, traversing the waters at a pace no one could imagine.

Even while flying at high speed, Lu Qing'an kept scanning his surroundings. Whenever he saw Dao-Devouring Mystic Lotus, he would pause briefly, collect the Dao-Devouring Mystic Lotus, and continue flying downwards.

It took a full quarter of an hour before he finally reached the very bottom of the Demon Nether Cultivation-Devouring Abyss!

He stopped quickly, hovering in the deepest part of the water.

At this moment, the two were still holding hands, but their gazes were fixed on something they had never expected in front of them.

"This is..." Xue Tianfei's eyes widened in surprise.

Lu Qing'an narrowed his eyes. "You've got something!"

Nowadays, there are very few things in the entire Demon Domain, or even the entire Cangyun Continent, that can still surprise him.

The scene before him surprised him.

The deepest part of the Demon Nether Cultivation-Devouring Abyss is a nearly solidified, dark body of water.

The Cultivation-Devouring Water here is as thick as ink, churning with eerie purplish-black vortexes, as if even time itself has been swallowed up by it.

Here, Lu Qing'an could feel his cultivation level rapidly decreasing. However, given his terrifying cultivation level, he didn't care how fast the decrease was; he could simply reclaim twice his cultivation level.

At the bottom of this desolate abyss, a strangely surreal ancient building, shrouded in a semi-transparent array, suddenly floats in the air!

The array's light barrier had a glass-like texture, with fine silver runes flowing across its surface, circulating like swimming fish, completely isolating the Cultivation-Devouring Water from the outside.

This building is a pagoda, constructed entirely of black crystal, with dark red blood-patterned jade inlaid at its edges.

At the center of the top of the tower, a golden pearl the size of a longan is suspended three feet in the air, radiating a blazing but not dazzling golden light!

The light acted like a tangible barrier, forming a second layer of protection within the formation, preventing the energy of the Cultivation-Devouring Water from penetrating the tower!

The two exchanged a glance.

The tower's existence here is likely due to the golden bead. And it seems there's someone inside the tower!

The energy of the Cultivation-Devouring Water cannot enter the tower, and if there are people inside, their cultivation will not be reduced!

"If there's someone inside, would they be very strong?"

Xue Tianfei blinked, looked at Lu Qing'an, and hesitated whether to go in and explore.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qing'an's lips curled up. "Then I hope there really is someone inside. Let's go in and take a look!"

He is so powerful that the world cannot withstand him, and if there are any people in this world, they cannot possibly be stronger than him.

He was eager to see what kind of being could hide in such a place.

Is it possible that he's from that mysterious organization?!

If so, wouldn't that be getting it without any effort at all?!

At the same time.

Inside the pagoda.

A middle-aged man dressed in a black robe with silver patterns on it was sitting cross-legged in cultivation a moment ago, surrounded by Demonic Qi. The next moment, he seemed to sense something and suddenly opened his eyes.

"No! No one could possibly reach the deepest part of the Demon Nether Cultivation-Devouring Abyss! Who could it be?!"

He stared wide-eyed, his gaze fixed intently on the outside.

At this moment, he could already sense that someone was standing outside the formation!

And it wasn't just one person, it was two people!!

Throughout the entire Cangyun Continent, who could venture into the deepest part of the Demon Nether Cultivation-Devouring Abyss without that precious pearl? In his mind, there was only one answer.

"No way! The person who unleashed that attack last time?! Am I really that unlucky?!"

He had been cultivating here for so long, and had finally reached a level of cultivation comparable to that of the Eternal Night Demon Emperor. He had originally thought he could go out, but when he suddenly sensed the aura of that sword, he instantly gave up the idea of going out and decided to cultivate for another hundreds of thousands of years.

Now look what's happened! He didn't go out, but the person who unleashed that sword strike has come here himself?!

Outside the formation.

Lu Qing'an had made his decision. Holding Xue Tianfei's hand, he approached the formation.

He shouted into the room, "Those inside, if you don't want me to break the formation and enter, open it yourselves!"

His voice traveled through the array and into the pagoda.

The middle-aged man inside the tower twitched at the corner of his mouth upon hearing this voice.

That voice sounds so familiar!

Isn't that the voice of the Eternal Night Demon Emperor?

He hadn't been out for a long time, but he had gone out once before and witnessed the Eternal Night Demon Emperor single-handedly killing a large number of the Great Emperor Realm experts. The voice that the Eternal Night Demon Emperor spoke back then was this voice!

He remembers it vividly!

In other words, the one who unleashed that sword strike that time was the Eternal Night Demon Emperor!!

"Oh dear! What are we going to do?!"

He hesitated for a moment.

This formation is very powerful and can withstand his full-force attack at this moment. However, if a person can reach this depth without the help of treasures, then breaking this formation is not difficult!

But he really didn't want to go out and meet a powerhouse of that level!

I've been hiding for so many years, all for the sake of avoiding danger!

"Three!"

Just as he was hesitating, the countdown began outside.

He gritted his teeth and could only stand up quickly.

The formation has been broken; what a waste!

At this point, there's no other way to go!

Face it!!

He quickly put on a mask, and in a flash, appeared outside the tower.

At that moment, the two sides looked at each other.

Lu Qing'an saw the person inside come into his field of vision and carefully scanned them.

"Please do not break the formation, Your Excellency," the middle-aged man in black robes said with a smile, trying his best to appear gentle.

Lu Qing'an smiled and said, "Then why don't you hurry up and activate the formation?"

"Good..."

Under the manipulation of the middle-aged man in black robes, an opening appeared in the formation.

Lu Qing'an led Xue Tianfei directly into the formation.

The moment they entered the formation, the energy of the Cultivation-Devouring Water suddenly vanished from their bodies, as if it had been absorbed by the golden bead atop the pagoda in the blink of an eye.

Lu Qing'an glanced at the golden bead, then turned his gaze back to the man in black.

A red light flashed in his eyes as he examined the other person's soul state.

This person's soul is perfectly intact and has not been possessed.

However, the possibility that it's someone from that mysterious organization cannot be ruled out.

Lu Qing'an sensed that this person's cultivation aura was not simple.

He's actually on par with him back then!

He's even stronger than Dao of Alchemy Master from not long ago!

Who would have thought that such a powerful figure was hidden within the Demon Domain?

"I truly didn't expect that there would actually be people living deep within this Demon Nether Cultivation-Devouring Abyss. May I ask your name, friend?" Lu Qing'an gazed at the man in black robes and asked with a smile.

In his eyes, the opponent's strength was no match for him now.

The middle-aged man in black robes smiled wryly, "I prefer seclusion and dislike interacting with people, which is why I cultivate quietly here..."

"So, how should I address you, fellow Daoist?" Lu Qing'an pressed.

"Wu Ciren," said the middle-aged man in black robes.

"Is this name real or fake? I don't like being deceived." Lu Qing'an stared intently at the middle-aged man in black robes and asked with a smile.

At this moment, his eyes seemed very gentle, but only Wu Ciren could sense the threat in them.

Is this how the Eternal Night Demon Emperor operates?

He swallowed hard, feeling immense pressure.
