Bestowing Treasures and Entering the Abyss

"Then how will you get in without being detected?" the Space-Time Island Lord asked.

"As long as I isolate myself from all detection and prevent the will of the Dark Abyss from discovering my identity, I should be fine," Qie Qiong said. "Besides, I fight swiftly and decisively; as long as I act quickly enough, I should be able to avoid risks."

Just like the isolation barrier of the Material World, even the Space-Time Island Lord needs his personal consent to probe the situation inside.

Otherwise, there would be no way to infiltrate and probe.

The principle is the same.

As long as he does not reveal his Annihilation Divine Power or his identity, the rules of the Dark Abyss cannot pinpoint his origins.

As long as their origin is uncertain, they will naturally not be considered "prey"!

"The idea is good, but too idealistic," the Space-Time Island Lord said calmly. "All powerful beings set up formations within their own lairs. Within these formations, their strength is only slightly weaker than that of top-tier experts. Although you possess the strength of a top-tier expert, if you get entangled in a prolonged battle in his home turf, you will be discovered, and that will be a dead end."

Qie Qiong's analysis is theoretically feasible, but the Space-Time Island Lord is also well aware of the power of the Great Power.

Although he was just an ordinary powerful being.

But since that powerful being "Shadow" dared to defect and has now joined Nero's ranks, he must not be afraid of that Venerable One from the Space-Time Temple.

His stronghold must have been well-prepared over a long period, with numerous layers of restrictive formations.

An ordinary powerful being can greatly increase their strength in their own lair by taking advantage of the terrain and formations, and may even be able to briefly contend with a top-tier powerful being.

Although Qie Qiong had the blessing of "Space-Time Destruction: Space Chapter", his realm was ultimately not yet that of a great power. The risk of a strong attack would increase dramatically. Once he was tied down, the will of the Abyss would lock onto him as an outsider, which would inevitably bring about his annihilation.

Qie Qiong naturally knew the power of the great being in his lair. He had originally planned to use some scheme to lure that great being out, but now it seemed that his master had a way.

Naturally, he no longer needed to think of a solution.

So he bowed and said, "Please enlighten me, Master."

"Since I've entrusted you with this important task, I'll naturally provide you with the appropriate means." As soon as the Space-Time Island Lord finished speaking, two items appeared out of thin air in front of Qie Qiong.

The first item was a battle robe that was entirely black, with silver Space-Time Secret Patterns inlaid along the edges.

The battle robe appeared thin and light, yet it emitted incredibly powerful Space-Time fluctuations, as if it could block all prying eyes and merge itself into Space-Time.

"This is the Space-Time Robe," explained the Protective Divine General -Space-Time Island Lord. "In terms of defense, it's equivalent to a top-tier World Deity Weapon, but it contains the supreme mysteries of my Path of Space-Time. Firstly, it can perfectly conceal all your aura, divine power fluctuations, and even causal threads. As long as you don't actively unleash your full Chaos Divine Power," even the Abyss Will will find it difficult to immediately identify you as an outsider. Secondly, it has the ability to traverse time Space-Time. With it, as long as you don't directly confront a Venerable, they won't be able to capture you."

"So this was given to you when you served as Protective Divine General. You can use it for now."

"This second treasure is the key to your mission." The Space-Time Island Lord pointed to the second treasure in front of Qie Qiong. The second treasure was a crystal-clear bead the size of a longan.

Inside the bead, silver light flowed, and Qie Qiong sensed the power of Space-Time within it.

"This item is called the Space-Time Teleportation Pearl," the Space-Time Island Lord explained. "This bead was personally crafted by me and contains a one-time Space-Time teleportation ability. When you activate it, it will forcibly teleport you and the target to a random location hundreds of thousands of miles away! However, the direction and location are completely random."

"Thank you, Master," Qie Qiong bowed.

The Space-Time Island Lord nodded slightly. "If you reveal your identity, I will immediately take action to stop Nero for you. But you will have to deal with the other powerful Abyss and even Venerables of the Abyss yourself!"

"Disciple understands!" Qie Qiong nodded solemnly, his eyes burning with fighting spirit. This would be the first time he had gone all out in the Snow Eagle World.

With these two treasures, the success rate of the mission will increase significantly, and the clone will not be lost.

The Space-Time Robe ensured he wouldn't be surrounded and attacked.

"Go." The Space-Time Island Lord waved his hand, and information about the specific coordinates of the Abyss layer where the Shadow currently hiding and the general layout of its lair instantly flooded into Qie Qiong's Sea of Consciousness.

"This disciple takes his leave." Qie Qiong bowed respectfully.

After taking his Qie Qiong, Qie Qiong headed to the Space-Time Courtyard.

The Space-Time Courtyard remained tranquil, but the area near the gate of the Qie Qiong Courtyard was quite lively at this moment.

Several figures, led by Dongbo Bai, were already waiting there. Besides Dongfang Dongbo Bai, an inner disciple whom Qie Qiong had met before, there were also three Second Firmament World Deity, who should be three guardian disciples whom Qie Qiong had never met before.

Upon seeing Qie Qiong appear, Dongbo Bai immediately put on a warm smile and quickly stepped forward to greet him. The others followed suit, their faces showing either sincerity or awe.

"Qie Qiong, it's really not easy to see you!" Dongbo Bai laughed loudly, his tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible envy.

Although he was also Third Firmament World Deity, the status of Personal Disciple was far superior to that of an inner disciple. Although Qie Qiong entered the sect later, he had been the senior brother of everyone in this courtyard since Qie Qiong became Personal Disciple.

"Qie Qiong!" The others also bowed in unison, their posture respectful.

Qie Qiong nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping calmly over everyone. "Brother Dongfang, fellow disciples, there's no need for such formalities."

Hearing the name Qie Qiong.

Dongbo Bai's smile widened, "Senior Brother has just returned from Master's place, so he must be about to graduate. This is truly a joyous occasion! We fellow disciples in the separate courtyard have discussed it, and although you entered the sect late, your talent is exceptional, and you are already capable of handling things independently. This is a rare and momentous event for our Space-Time Courtyard!"

He paused, then continued, "According to the tradition of the monastery, when a fellow disciple graduates, we prepare a small gift to express our gratitude and host a farewell banquet for them as they embark on their journey. Senior Brother, you have been summoned by Master this time, so you must be about to graduate. Therefore, we have specially prepared some small gifts," and also wish to take this opportunity to host a banquet to celebrate your departure! We earnestly hope that you will do us the honor of attending!

As they spoke, anticipation shone in the eyes of Dongbo Bai and the others.

They genuinely believed that Qie Qiong's private audience with the island lord signified that this senior disciple had completed his training at the detached residence and was about to leave Space-Time Island to take up a position in the outside world.

Aside from the few fallen Fourth Firmament World Deity, the Personal Disciple of the Space-Time Island Lord was the top-tier powerhouse, the Palace Master Nine Yang.

Moreover, even those fallen Personal Disciples were all beings comparable to great powers when they were at the Fourth Firmament World Deity.

They all have families behind them. If this person goes out to take up a post, they might need his help someday, so naturally they will try their best to curry favor with him.

After all, the relationship between fellow disciples is naturally closer.

Looking at his enthusiastic fellow disciples, Qie Qiong understood.

Their understanding of their own strength was still at the Third Firmament World Deity, so this summons was naturally interpreted as "graduation from training."

He kept in mind the mission his master had given him to hunt down Shadow. That mission was extremely dangerous: to infiltrate the Abyss and kill a powerful being with home-field advantage. There was no room for distraction or delay.

Attending the banquet at this moment is inappropriate, and besides, the Space-Time Island Lord's request is to proceed immediately.

Then, Qie Qiong smiled gently and cupped his hands, saying, "Brother Qie Qiong, I appreciate the kindness of my fellow disciples, and thank you in advance!"

His aura swept over everyone, and his tone was sincere and firm. "Master summoned me because he has entrusted me with an important matter. It is of great importance and cannot be delayed. Master has instructed me to set off immediately to carry it out."

"For this farewell banquet, Qie Qiong dares not delay the important task entrusted to him by his master. Once I successfully complete this mission and return, I will surely drink to my heart's content with all my fellow disciples! As for the generous gifts you have prepared—" Qie Qiong paused slightly, "When I return, I will present them as a celebration gift, how about that?"

He knew what his fellow disciples meant, and he didn't resent it.

Upon hearing this, Dongbo Bai and the others showed no displeasure.

"I see!" Dongbo Bai immediately said solemnly, "Since it is an important task personally entrusted by Master, it naturally cannot be delayed! Senior Brother, it is your duty to prioritize Master's orders."

He glanced back at the crowd, and the disciples who were protecting the Dharma all nodded in agreement.

"Senior brother, just go ahead with peace of mind!" a disciple said. "The mission is of utmost importance! We'll hold a celebration banquet for you when you return in triumph!"

"Exactly! We wish our senior brother a resounding success on this journey!" everyone exclaimed in unison.

Qie Qiong bowed and walked into the courtyard.

Qie Qiong left the Space-Time Island.

Taking out the Starfield Flying Vessel bestowed upon him by the Space-Time Island Lord when Qie Qiong advanced to the Third Firmament World Deity, he headed towards the Abyss. After an unknown amount of time, at the end of his vision, a faint outline finally appeared in the darkness.

It was a huge, twisted column!

Like coiled, writhing, black intestines, layers upon layers of worlds constitute this Legend "Dark Abyss."

The entire Dark Abyss was pitch black and gloomy, as if it wanted to devour and absorb everything.

"Dark Abyss-- " Standing on the deck of the Starfield Flying Vessel, Qie Qiong was shrouded in the darkness formed by the Space-Time Robe, his eyes beneath the mask calmly watching this vast and evil presence.

He muttered to himself, his voice concealed by the Space-Time Robe, "Truly living up to its reputation. Even from a distance, one can feel its aura of dark destruction and devouring, as if it wants to devour and destroy everything."

The aura of the Abyss is the exact opposite of that of the Divine Realm.

In order to blend into the Abyss, even the Starfield Flying Vessel were turned pitch black by Qie Qiong.

In order to completely integrate into the environment.

He himself also exuded a violent aura, a powerful aura, like that of a being from the Abyss, emanating from his body.

At this moment, both his external Demonic Vessel form and the aura he exuded were identical to those ancient demons from the Abyss.

Even if a powerful being were to appear before you, it would be difficult to distinguish the truth from the falsehood.

This is precisely what makes the Space-Time Robe so terrifying as an equipment of Protective Divine General.

The Starfield Flying Vessel along the Space-Time tunnel and finally entered the outermost layer of the Dark Abyss.

The world of the Dark Abyss is layered upon layered, so in order to reach his destination, Qie Qiong must continuously traverse the layers of the Abyss World!

"Fortunately, because he is a being from the Divine Realm, the Abyss World where this powerful being resides is relatively high up in the Dark Abyss," Qie Qiong thought to himself.

The instant the Qie Qiong entered.

"~Hehehe, an endless dark and destructive will swept over, that will high above, carrying slaughter, destruction, and darkness, as if it wanted to assimilate everything."

However, due to the Space-Time Robe, Qie Qiong's body was completely isolated from all rules of detection, and the Abyss Will could not detect anything about her.

"This feeling of darkness and destruction is really uncomfortable. It's somewhat similar to the feeling of the Prison Race. However, it seems that even after becoming powerful, the strong in the Abyss are still madmen at heart. This is different from the Prison Race," Qie Qiong thought to himself.

The Dark Abyss appears no different from the realm of the Divine Realm and the Material World on the surface. However, it is perpetually shrouded in an aura of darkness, which endows the native creatures here with steel-like bodies and innate divine strength from birth, but also imprints upon them a bloodthirsty and murderous instinct.

In the eyes of beings in Material World and Divine Realms, they have only one unified name— Demons!

Within the Abyss, each layer of the world has its master, known as the Abyss Lord.

Ordinary monarchs can possess the power of Fourth Firmament World Deity.

Among them are powerful beings with extraordinary abilities, and monarchs who can reach the Opening Realm are extremely rare.

The true rulers of this dark realm are the three Abyss Ruler. They have long transcended the constraints of a single world, holding the reins of power over most of the Abyss, and are the unshakeable supreme beings in the Dark Abyss.

The once desolate wilderness has now been transformed into a bloody slaughterhouse.

The two massive Demon legions, like two filthy torrents, clashed Strangulation each other madly.

The deafening roars, the clash of weapons, and the cracking of bones mingled with a deafening boom.

Countless twisted trees were either frozen and shattered by the ice, or engulfed in raging demonic flames, turning into dust under the violent energy impact.

The earth was covered with flowing blood and shattered entrails that reeked of sulfur.

One Deity Rank led their elite squads into battle, charging through the chaotic battlefield, each charge leaving behind a trail of severed limbs.

However, the real core is the area in the center of the battlefield that was deliberately cleared out.

There, two terrifyingly powerful forces were clashing violently!

Just as the battle reached its climax, a "buzz~"

A massive, jet-black, menacingly designed Starfield Flying Vessel emerged without warning from a Space-Time tunnel that had split open in the void.

The moment it appeared, an indescribable pressure originating from the level of life itself descended like a tsunami, sweeping across the entire battlefield!

That wasn't a deliberately released pressure; it was simply the pressure it inherently carried.

But it also brought all the roars, howls, and clashes of energy on the battlefield to an abrupt halt.

The two Great Demon God, who were locked in fierce combat, felt a fear that originated from the depths of their souls. In an instant, their movements were as if they were bound by invisible shackles.

The Demon God trembled violently, barely able to hold onto their Demon Weapons.

As for the massive Demon legion—they collapsed to the ground like ants thrown into an ice cellar, plunging the entire battlefield into a deathly silence.
