Chapter 1629 The Abyss of Ten Thousand Burials
The dense runes shattered like glass, the crimson light dissipated, and the Immortal Locking Array was broken by his sword.
Elder Yunhe was struck dumb, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His body went limp and he collapsed, his eyes filled with disbelief and terror.
Elder Zi Sha was locked in fierce combat with the Demon Emperor when he suddenly saw the great formation broken. His mind was shaken, and he revealed a flaw.
The Demon Emperor would not let this opportunity pass, and slammed a palm into his chest.
"puff!"
Elder Zi Sha spat out blood, flew backward, and crashed heavily into the wall, his life force instantly waning.
With his sword in hand, Song Yu walked step by step toward Elder Yunhe, who was lying on the ground, his gaze cold and devoid of any warmth.
"You...you can't kill me..."
Elder Yunhe trembled all over, his voice filled with pleading, "I am a member of the Temple of Annihilation, the Temple Master will not let you go..."
Song Yu scoffed, his sword flashing coldly as it fell. "Then let him collect your corpse."
Blood splattered, and Elder Yunhe's screams came to an abrupt halt.
Song Yu shook his head, his gaze fixed outside the Qingyun Pavilion, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes: "This is only the beginning. Once he dies, the Temple of Annihilation will surely notice. We must leave the Qingyun Sect as soon as possible!"
He knew that after this battle, their whereabouts in the Upper Realm had been completely exposed.
Meanwhile, on the distant horizon, a dark figure quietly appeared, gazing in the direction of the Azure Cloud Sect, a sinister glint in its eyes.
It was none other than the Evil Destroyer Heavenly Venerable.
He murmured in a low voice, his tone icy and chilling: "Song Yu... it seems I have to take action myself."
……
Inside Qingyun Pavilion, the stench of blood filled the air, clashing with the previous aroma of wine and spiritual fragrance.
The Demon Emperor slapped the heavily injured Elder Zi Sha away with a single palm strike, and amidst the surging demonic energy, he raised his hand to end his life.
"Keep alive."
Song Yu spoke up to stop him, and he slowly walked to Elder Zi Sha, his eyes filled with chaotic divine light.
Elder Zi Sha collapsed to the ground, his chest caved in, barely breathing, yet he still sneered arrogantly: "Song Yu, today you broke the Immortal Locking Formation and killed Yun He. In the future, the Temple of Annihilation will surely raze all your footholds to the ground, making you wish you were dead!"
"Noisy."
With a flick of his finger, Song Yu sent a chaotic sword aura into Elder Zi Sha's dantian. The latter screamed in agony as his aura at the peak of the Dao Realm instantly dissipated, leaving him a cripple.
"Let's cripple their cultivation first," Song Yu said calmly, turning to look at Naihe, who had already dealt with all the disciples of the Silent Temple in the hall and was wiping the blood from his fingertips.
"Master, this place is not safe to stay for long."
Naihe's gaze swept across the window. "Although the disciples of Qingyun Sect did not participate in this ambush, Yunhe is an elder of the sect. Once this matter spreads, various forces in the Upper Realm will definitely be eyeing us covetously."
Song Yu nodded; he was well aware of the implications.
The Immortal Locking Formation was broken, Yunhe died, and Elder Zisha was captured. This series of events was enough to stir up a storm in the long-silent Upper Realm!
"Walk."
As soon as Song Yu finished speaking, his figure transformed into a streak of light and rushed towards the Qingyun Sect's mountain gate.
The Demon Emperor carried the limp Elder Zi Sha on his back, with Nai He following closely behind.
The three figures moved among the pavilions and towers of the Qingyun Sect. The disciples along the way were all surprised to see them, but no one dared to step forward to stop them.
The roar and killing intent that came from the direction of Qingyun Pavilion had already terrified them!
Just as the three were about to rush out of the Qingyun Sect's mountain gate, a mighty sword aura suddenly blocked their way. The sword aura was sharp and contained a pure and upright Daoist charm.
Immediately afterwards, a figure dressed in a green robe rode in on a sword. His face was ancient and his hair and beard were all white. He was none other than the sect master of Qingyun Sect, Daoist Qingxuan.
Qingxuan Daoist held a Qingfeng sword, his gaze falling on Song Yu and the other two, his expression complicated: "Your Majesty, Elder Yunhe colluded with the Temple of Annihilation to set a trap to harm you. This sect is already aware of this matter. However, he was, after all, an elder of my Qingyun Sect. With his death and the dissipation of his Dao, this sect needs an explanation."
"Explain?"
The Demon Emperor sneered and threw Elder Zi Sha to the ground. "Then ask this elder of the Silent God Temple how Yun He lured us into the pavilion and how he activated the Immortal Locking Array to try and kill us! The Azure Cloud Sect is lax in its discipline and has raised such traitors. If it weren't for the Human Emperor's overwhelming strength, the three of us would be the ones buried in the Azure Cloud Pavilion today!"
Qingxuan Daoist looked at Elder Zisha on the ground. The latter's eyes were full of resentment, but he did not say a word.
He remained silent for a moment, then sighed deeply and raised his hand to withdraw the sword energy: "This matter is the fault of the Qingyun Sect. Your Majesty, today's events can be treated as if they never happened, and we will order a news blackout to buy you half a day to escape."
Song Yu's eyes flickered slightly; Qingxuan Daoist's actions were somewhat unexpected.
Song Yu also cupped his hands and said, "Sect Master is truly wise and righteous; Song Yu admires you!"
Daoist Qingxuan waved his hand, his gaze distant: "The Upper Realm is in turmoil, and the ambitions of the Temple of Annihilation and the Temple of Shadows have long been revealed. Your Majesty the Human Emperor possesses formidable strength; perhaps you will be the variable that breaks this stagnant pool. Go!"
Song Yu said no more. He exchanged a glance with the Demon Emperor and Naihe, and the three of them transformed into three streaks of light and disappeared into the sky.
Half a day passed in the blink of an eye.
Song Yu and his two companions sped along without daring to stop for even a moment.
They chose desolate mountain areas, avoiding the spheres of influence of the major sects.
"Master, where are we going next?"
Naihe asked, "The Temple of Annihilation has suffered such a great loss, it must have laid a net to search for us. The Upper Realm is so vast, yet it seems there is nowhere for us to hide."
Song Yu shook his head, sat cross-legged on a boulder, and closed his eyes in deep thought.
"The Evil Destroyer Heavenly Venerable has been searching for the whereabouts of the Evil Emperor Senior, and I have a close relationship with the Evil Emperor Senior. He simply wants to lure the Evil Emperor Senior out."
Song Yu slowly opened his eyes, his divine sense covering the upper realm, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, "In the upper realm, there is a place where the power of the Temple of Annihilation has not penetrated deeply, and perhaps we can find clues about the Evil Emperor."
"Where?" the Demon Emperor and Naihe asked in unison.
“Ten thousand burials in the abyss.” Song Yu uttered four words.
The Abyss of Ten Thousand Burials is located in the far west of the upper realm, and is a desolate place.
Legend has it that countless ancient powerful beings are buried within the abyss, where malevolent energy permeates and danger lurks everywhere. Even Dao Realm experts dare not venture there lightly.
But precisely because of this, that place has become a forbidden zone for various forces in the upper realm, and the reach of the Temple of Annihilation cannot extend there for the time being.
"The Abyss of Ten Thousand Burials?" The Demon Emperor frowned slightly.
Song Yu stood up, dusted himself off, and said, "Instead of eking out a living between the various powers, we might as well venture into the Abyss of Ten Thousand Burials. Besides, there might be something we need there."
Naihe nodded: "I will go with the Human Emperor."
Seeing this, the Demon Emperor grinned and said, "Since you've all gone, how can I fall behind?"
The three had reached a decision and, without further hesitation, changed direction and sped toward the Abyss of Ten Thousand Burials in the far west.
As they traveled westward, the closer they got to the Abyss of Ten Thousand Burials, the denser the malevolent aura became.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, obscuring the sun, and the air was filled with a putrid smell that made one want to vomit!
Several days later, the three finally arrived at the edge of the Abyss of Ten Thousand Burials.
Looking out, one sees a bottomless, enormous rift. Within the rift, black malevolent energy surges ceaselessly, and faint, mournful howls can be heard, sending chills down one's spine.
The cliff walls on both sides of the crevice are covered with a dense array of caves, from which a ghostly green light flickers from time to time, clearly indicating that evil spirits reside within them.
"What a strong evil spirit!"
However, he frowned slightly, and a faint white light emanated from his body, resisting the erosion of the baleful aura. "This baleful aura contains a power that devours the soul. If it were an ordinary cultivator, they would probably be devoured by the baleful aura as soon as they got close to the edge."
Song Yu circulated the chaotic energy within his body to isolate the baleful aura from the outside. He looked up at the depths of the abyss, his eyes flashing with divine light: "My divine sense can extend into it. I can sense that the Abyss of Ten Thousand Burials is divided into three layers. The first layer is the place where ferocious beasts and yin spirits dwell. The second layer is the burial ground of ancient powerful beings. The third layer is where a top-level divine weapon is located!"
"Let's not delay, let's set off!" The Demon Emperor rubbed his hands together, his demonic energy surging, and he was the first to leap into the abyss.
Song Yu and Naihe exchanged a glance and followed closely behind.
As soon as they entered the first level of the abyss, a violent aura of malevolence rushed towards them, accompanied by a deafening roar, and a huge ferocious beast charged out from the aura.
This ferocious beast resembled a tiger, but had three heads and its body was covered with hard scales. It spewed black flames from its mouth, and wherever it passed, even the air was scorched and distorted.
"The Three-Headed Fire-Scaled Beast! Ranked thirty-seventh on the list of ferocious beasts in the Upper Realm!" A hint of excitement flashed in the Demon Emperor's eyes. He raised his hand and threw a punch, his demonic energy condensing into a giant demonic fist that collided with the flames of the Three-Headed Fire-Scaled Beast.
"boom!"
With a deafening roar, the demonic fist and flames exploded, and the three-headed fire-scaled beast let out a painful roar, staggering backward.
Taking advantage of the situation, the Demon Emperor surged forward, his demonic energy transforming into chains that tightly bound the three-headed fire-scaled beast.
"Human Emperor, Naihe, you all go forward first, leave this beast to me!" The Demon Emperor shouted, engaging in a fierce battle with the three Fire-Scaled Beasts.
Song Yu nodded. He knew the Demon Emperor's strength; dealing with a three-headed fire-scaled beast was more than enough for him.
Song Yu and Naihe flashed and headed towards the depths of the abyss.
In the first layer of the abyss, ferocious beasts and vengeful spirits are everywhere.
As the two traveled, they encountered many ferocious beasts and evil spirits, but they easily dealt with them all!
Half a day later, the two finally arrived at the boundary between the first and second floors.
Here stands a massive stone gate, its surface covered with ancient runes, exuding an aura of antiquity.
Song Yu stepped forward, reached out and touched the runes on the stone door, his eyes gleaming.
These runes were exactly the same as the ancient runes he had seen with the Evil Emperor.
He circulated the chaotic energy within his body and infused it into the runes.
"Buzz!"
The stone gate trembled slightly, and a dazzling light shone on the runes. Then, the stone gate slowly opened, revealing the passage inside.
