"According to the True Dharma Elder's account, many of our Light Faction's living experts may have entered the Colorless Abyss. I'd like to try my luck there. It's also a mission assigned to our team," Yan Xiaoquan said.
"The Colorless Abyss is a very bizarre place. What dangers lie within, I can't say for sure, as I don't know much about it. If you truly wish to go, I won't stop you. Perhaps you might indeed find some of our Light Faction experts inside," Lin Lianzhou pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.
"Alright, be careful from here on out. I need to return to another base to recuperate," Lin Lianzhou continued.
"Elder Lin, do you know which base my people are at? Are they safe now?" Ye Yunfei suddenly spoke up. He was extremely concerned about this, as the vast majority of those connected to him across the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds had entered the Light Faction's bases.
"Rest assured, the base where your people are currently is still safe for the moment," Lin Lianzhou said, having long heard about Ye Yunfei's situation and understanding his worries.
"Elder Lin, Huang Qiang was also a base Elder of our Light Faction. If you know the locations of those bases, then Huang Qiang must have known as well. Doesn't that mean many of our bases' positions have been exposed?" Ye Yunfei asked.
"No. We base Elders only know the location of the specific base we are responsible for; we do not know the exact locations of other bases. Each base has a different managing Elder," Lin Lianzhou shook his head in reply.
"So that's how it is," Ye Yunfei said, feeling somewhat relieved upon hearing this.
"Ah, right. There's one more thing to tell you. The base I was responsible for has already been destroyed. We are currently scouting for a new location. Once the new base is decided, I'll send word to you. When you return later, just go directly to the new base," Lin Lianzhou said.
"Alright, I'm leaving now. Take care. Remember, no matter when, your lives are paramount. When in danger, prioritize preservation of life above all else," Lin Lianzhou continued. Having said this, he moved his body technique and vanished into the distance in an instant.
After Lin Lianzhou departed, Yan Xiaoquan spoke up, "Everyone, next, we're heading to the next battlefield. Our team is responsible for two battlefields in total. After exploring both, we'll set off for the Colorless Abyss. What do you all think?"
"Good, I agree," Wu Wang said.
"Where is the second battlefield?" Ye Yunfei asked.
"It's in the Main World," Yan Xiaoquan said.
The Main World!
Ye Yunfei's heart stirred. Thinking about it, he had never actually entered the Main World before. And Su Qingluo was there!
"I wonder how Qingluo is doing now. As the master of the Reincarnation Palace, she bears great responsibility, especially with several major factions in the Main World teaming up to deal with her palace," Ye Yunfei thought of Su Qingluo.
"Alright, let's set off," Yan Xiaoquan said.
Thereupon, the party of five headed towards the Main World.
At this very moment, within a certain location in the chaotic void of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, a massive roiling cloud of demonic energy seethed violently.
"Report! A dozen or so of our Heart-Devouring Demons have gone missing during this period and likely met with misfortune," a relatively small Heart-Devouring Demon cautiously reported, standing before a large, imposing demon within this cloud. A dozen or so other relatively small Heart-Devouring Demons stood beside him.
"Hmph! According to our nature, we Heart-Devouring Demons generally do not engage in direct confrontation with other beings and rarely strike without confidence. Why have we lost over a dozen clan members this time? Could it be someone is specifically targeting our Heart-Devouring Demon clan? Investigate thoroughly at once!" The large Heart-Devouring Demon's eyes shot forth black lightning as he spoke coldly.
"Yes!" the dozen or so smaller Heart-Devouring Demons chorused in reply.
Meanwhile, in another part of the chaotic void of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
Sinister clouds billowed, oppressive with murderous aura, as several dozen winged creatures with grotesque, ferocious visages suddenly rushed out from a world's entrance.
"Holy Son, we have returned to the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds," one of the hideous creatures said.
"Yes, we have returned," nodded another creature radiating a terrifyingly baleful aura.
If Ye Yunfei were here, he would immediately recognize this being as the Holy Son of the Flying Sky Yin Monkey race. This Holy Son had previously been subdued by Ye Yunfei and became his slave. Later, when the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds descended into a chaotic era, Ye Yunfei released the eight Flying Sky Yin Monkeys he had subdued, allowing them to return to the Netherworld.
Upon returning to the Netherworld, the Holy Son, due to his noble status within his race, immediately received focused cultivation from his clan. His bloodline continuously mutated and upgraded, revealing astonishing talent in a short period. The clan's patriarch and several senior experts who had lived vast ages even personally intervened, forcibly infusing the blood essence of an ancient Flying Sky Yin Monkey progenitor into this Holy Son's body using a forbidden technique. This resulted in an incredible leap in the Holy Son's strength within a brief period.
Now, this Holy Son had begun his journey of experience cultivation. With the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds embroiled in chaos, many beings from special worlds had begun emerging, including those from the Netherworld.
"Holy Son, are you going to find our Master?" a Flying Sky Yin Monkey beside the Holy Son suddenly transmitted silently at this moment.
"No need to rush. We have ample time for this experience cultivation mission. We can search slowly. I believe we will definitely find Master," the Holy Son of the Flying Sky Yin Monkey race considered for a moment before replying.
At the same time.
In a world of unending darkness, inside a black domed palace, a woman with an imposing aura sat on a high seat. She wore a black phoenix crown and a gauzy black dress.
"Esteemed Queen, during this period, a batch of our Dark Realm's beings has ventured out and entered the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds," a creature so dark he was nearly invisible reported respectfully from before the woman.
"Mm." the woman hummed softly. "Issue a decree: our Dark Realm beings are forbidden from entering the Primordial Heavenly Continent or the Canghuang World. If they encounter anyone from those two worlds, they must withdraw promptly."
"Why?" the blackened creature couldn't help but ask, puzzled by the command.
The aura of the woman seated on the high seat turned icy, a fearsome pressure emanating from her. "Simply follow my orders. There's no need for you to ask why."
Boom!
The pitch-black creature was instantly pressed flat against the ground by the oppressive force, its soul nearly leaping from its body in terror as it kowtowed frantically.
"This subordinate deserves death! This subordinate acknowledges his offense!" The pitch-black creature kowtowed repeatedly, shouting in fright.
Had Ye Yunfei been here, he would have immediately recognized the woman seated on the high seat. It was Lü Dandan. The Lü Dandan of the past... the Dark Queen of the present!
"Get up," Lü Dandan said coldly.
"Gratitude for Her Majesty's mercy!" The pitch-black creature kowtowed several dozen more times before daring to stand up.
He understood this Dark Queen's temperament all too well. This Dark Queen had suddenly appeared in the Dark Realm, rising rapidly and thoroughly conquering the entire Dark Realm in a short period, becoming the undisputed Dark Queen. Within the Dark Realm, any forces or beings who dared offend the Dark Queen were ruthlessly exterminated by her. The Dark Queen's bloody methods had long since awed the entire Dark Realm.
"By the way, what has the Dark Faction been up to lately?" Lü Dandan asked.
"Queen, lately, the Dark Faction has been expanding its territory everywhere across the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, enlisting a large number of factions, causing their power to swell rapidly. Furthermore, the Dark Faction has dispatched emissaries to special realms like the Demon Realm, the Devil Realm, and the Underworld separately, attempting to win them over. Not long ago, a group of emissaries from the Dark Faction entered our Dark Realm, saying they sought an audience with you, Queen. However, knowing you hold no favor for the Dark Faction, I directly drove them away," the pitch-black creature hurriedly reported.
