"It really is a Divine Crystal!"
Seeing that crystal stone, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but rejoice.
"Divine Crystal!
It truly is a Divine Crystal, we've finally found it!"
The other experts were also extremely excited.
All these top Eastern Barrens experts had gathered here precisely to search for this piece of Divine Crystal.
Divine Crystals were said to be energy crystals used by Deities for cultivation. They not only contained immense energy but might also be engraved with certain Divine Laws. For worldly martial artists, they were simply priceless treasures.
"However, this abyss below is extremely dangerous! Retrieving that Divine Crystal will be tremendously difficult!"
A powerful cultivator spoke up.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the other powerhouses also turned somewhat grave.
With their discerning eyesight and powerful perceptive abilities, they could naturally sense that this abyss was brimming with dreadful, sinister energy.
"There shouldn't be just one Divine Crystal."
Ye Yunfei thought inwardly, lightly stomping his foot. Dozens of Earth Dragons quietly burrowed into the ground, heading toward the location of the Divine Crystal at the bottom of the abyss.
"Young Master Su, what's your take on this abyss? Is there any method to safely descend?"
The Vermilion Bird Demon King asked Ye Yunfei.
"Very difficult."
Ye Yunfei shook his head.
"This location is the absolute core of the Nine Dragons Encircling the Pearl Formation. It has continuously drawn yin and sinister energy from the surrounding earth and concentrated it here.
Even if you threw a weak creature without any strength to restrain a chicken into this abyss, after countless ages, it would transform into an extremely terrifying, malevolent yin creature.
Therefore, there are definitely extremely terrifying existences below this abyss."
Ye Yunfei frowned as he stared at the abyss below.
"So that means we have no chance of going down to retrieve that Divine Crystal?"
The Vermilion Bird Demon King said with a frown.
"Let's see how the situation unfolds first. They definitely won't give up easily.
Perhaps there will be an opportunity amidst the chaos."
Ye Yunfei said.
"Young Master Su, your insight, knowledge, and temperament are truly astounding.
Even I feel somewhat outmatched!"
Hearing Ye Yunfei speak with such clear and compelling logic, the Vermilion Bird Demon King couldn't help but sigh.
Although he was a generationally renowned demon king of the Eastern Barrens, he felt that in many matters, Ye Yunfei understood even more than he did!
This made him somewhat doubt, could the person before him really just be a young junior?
"Let's go down and take a look!"
Finally, someone couldn't hold back. A small, thin elder shot out, taking the lead in rushing down towards the abyss.
"Don't be afraid. With so many experts gathered here, even if there are some terrifying existences down below, we can definitely handle them!"
Several more powerhouses followed, leaping down.
Swish, swish...
One expert after another shot down like lightning towards the Divine Crystal at the bottom of the abyss.
"Let's go. We should go down too. We can't let them take the initiative and steal the Divine Crystal!"
One after another, experts lost patience and jumped down.
Boom! Boom...
The abyss below roared with the auras of these powerhouses. A mighty torrent of sinister black mist surged upwards from the depths of the abyss like a mass of coiling black dragons.
"Demon King, should we go down?"
A great demon asked.
Just at that moment.
Ye Yunfei's expression suddenly changed.
The dozens of Earth Dragons he had sent down earlier were continuously exploding, as if some terrifying existence was attacking them.
In barely a moment, all dozens of Earth Dragons shattered, transforming into earth energy and returning to the earth.
"Your Majesty Demon King, for now, we shouldn't go down. There's movement down there."
Ye Yunfei spoke up.
"There's movement?"
The Vermilion Bird Demon King was startled.
Right then.
"Ah!"
A mournful, ear-piercing scream rang out.
Everyone's gaze immediately turned to see a large hand brutally ripping off the head of the skinny elder who had rushed down first, then pulverizing it into a bloody mist.
A creature with a fierce visage, like a demon from hell, stood behind the skinny elder's remains, emanating overwhelming murderous intent.
Swish! Swish! Swish...
Next, several more terrifying creatures charged up from the bottom of the abyss.
The bottom of the abyss was enveloped in an extremely dense black mist, making it impossible to see clearly.
"Ah!"
Four or five terrifying creatures simultaneously closed in on a Brocade-robed Elder. They grabbed his limbs simultaneously, trying to tear him apart.
"Get away!"
The elder, both shocked and furious, opened his mouth and spat out. A large purple seal rushed forth, rapidly enlarging as it suppressed towards those terrifying creatures.
Bang!
The terrifying creatures, with their combined strength, sent the large purple seal flying. Then, they shattered the elder's body, and one of the creatures gripped and crushed his heart.
"What kind of creatures are these?"
All the Eastern Barrens powerhouses were astonished.
"They are the Primordial Heterogeneous Race!"
Suddenly, an elder exclaimed in shock.
How could that be?
Upon hearing the elder's words, everyone was taken aback.
"Weren't the Primordial Heterogeneous Race said to have gone extinct long ago? Why are they here? You must be mistaken."
Someone said doubtfully.
"They are indeed the Primordial Heterogeneous Race. Their appearance matches the descriptions in ancient texts.
It seems this race isn't extinct; a part of them lurks here."
A tall elder stated.
The several terrifying creatures all possessed human-like heads, but their bodies differed; some had serpentine torsos, others had three heads and six arms, and some had wings, appearing extremely bizarre.
Although the appearances of these creatures varied, the aura they emitted was identical, belonging to the same race!
"So it's the Primordial Heterogeneous Race. No wonder they're so powerful."
Ye Yunfei nodded inwardly.
In ancient times, the Primordial Heterogeneous Race was a truly terrifying species, though legends claimed they had gone extinct. To think there were still some here!
"So what if it's the Primordial Heterogeneous Race? We'll act together, kill them all, then take the Divine Crystal!"
"Right. In the face of the Divine Crystal, we'll kill even the Primordial Heterogeneous Race without hesitation!"
Some Eastern Barrens powerhouses shouted.
"Act!"
Most of those gathered here belonged to the Eastern Barrens' top-tier powerhouses, each possessing shocking strength. They wouldn't retreat simply because of a few Primordial Heterogeneous Race members.
Boom! Boom...
One Eastern Barrens expert after another erupted with power, charging towards the few Primordial Heterogeneous Race members.
At least several dozen powerhouses acted simultaneously, besieging the few Primordial Heterogeneous Race creatures.
Bang!
Thanks to sheer numbers, the moment they acted, one Primordial Heterogeneous Race creature was sent flying, its body half-ruined.
Swish, swish...
But the next moment, a dozen more Primordial Heterogeneous Race creatures charged up from the depths of the abyss and joined the fray.
Everyone's expression changed drastically.
No one knew how many more Primordial Heterogeneous Race members were at the bottom of the abyss. If the number was too large, things would become troublesome.
Just at that moment.
Caw! Caw...
Mourful cries sounded from afar.
"Those Flying Sky Yin Monkeys are here too!
I see! Earlier, when I used the Netherworld Yin Blade, they sensed it and came searching!
It seems this Netherworld Yin Blade holds great importance to those Flying Sky Yin Monkeys."
Ye Yunfei's heart stirred.
"Come then.
Primordial Heterogeneous Race, Flying Sky Yin Monkeys, and so many Eastern Barrens powerhouses... This is becoming even livelier."
Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
