"Have mercy, Honored One! I am willing to lead the way!"
"I am willing as well!"
...
The seven True Immortals clamored for clemency.
They understood that, for Ye Yunfei, eliminating them would require but a single thought.
"Good. Begin leading the way now. Do not attempt any tricks; bring me honestly and directly to Zhou Mai's junior brother. And don't contemplate escape. My speed is at the very least ten times greater than yours; there is absolutely no chance for you to flee before my eyes," Ye Yunfei said with a stern face.
"Set your mind at ease, Honored One! We won't try any tricks!" A few True Immortals who had initially prided themselves on their movement speed and were secretly calculating how to find an opportunity to escape were given a fright by Ye Yunfei's words.
Then, the seven True Immortals competed with each other to lead Ye Yunfei off in search of Zhou Mai's junior brother.
At the same time.
Outside the Colorless Abyss, on the shore of that dark crimson sea, a group of people suddenly descended from a distance and landed on the bank.
"The entrance and exit to the Colorless Abyss lies at the bottom of this sea," an elder among them spoke.
"Elder Ge, does that legendary Divine World truly exist? This spatial realm of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds is inherently a backward area. Moreover, the Colorless Abyss is said to be a barren space devoid of any energy or laws. How could a Divine World possibly be hidden within? If such a world truly existed, merely leaking a trace of divine energy would likely be enough to transform the Colorless Abyss into a sacred world brimming with energy and high-level laws," a middle-aged man remarked, frowning with doubt as he surveyed the turbulent, dark crimson ocean before him.
"The account of the Divine World within the Colorless Abyss is recorded in an ancient secret tome of our Heavenly Dao Pavilion. As you know, the Pavilion's founding patriarch was a Heavenly God. How could the secret records left by his venerable self be false? Furthermore, who says a barren space cannot conceal a Divine World? Have you forgotten this line from our Heavenly Dao Pavilion's Heavenly Dao cultivation method? 'Something ends in nothingness; nothingness ends in something. The cycle of existence and void; existence is born from the void.' The Colorless Abyss is a barren space lacking energy and laws. Precisely such a space might be most suited to hiding the most resplendent Divine World. Regardless, we must enter and seek it," the elder said slowly after a moment's thought.
"Elder Ge, aside from our Heavenly Dao Pavilion, other external factions and experts shouldn't be aware that a Divine World is hidden within the Colorless Abyss, right?" asked a middle-aged woman dressed as a Daoist nun beside him.
"Not necessarily. Besides our Pavilion, several other ancient, great factions possessed Heavenly Gods in ancient times. It's possible those ancient powers also know of this Divine World's existence within the Colorless Abyss. I suspect the Dark Faction has long been aware as well. Otherwise, why do you think the Dark Ancestor wants to dominate this spatial realm? The main reason is knowing this realm of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds was the center of countless spatial realms across the heavens in the distant past, a place where many ancient deities were born. Though those ancient deities have long perished or departed, it's possible some god-level inheritances remain. Obtaining such inheritances would be of unimaginable value. Enough. Let us hurry inside to find that Divine World. If we can locate that legendary world and obtain some divine energy or god-level inheritances, it means our Heavenly Dao Pavilion will rise to prominence! In the future, dominating the endless spatial realms may not be impossible!" After speaking, the elder waved his hand and led the Heavenly Dao Pavilion contingent charging into the dark crimson sea ahead, stirring up massive tidal waves.
Not long after.
Rumble...
From the distant Chaotic Void, a vast, dense cloud of demonic miasma rolled forth. Shrill screams of countless demons and monsters seemed to continuously emanate from within, shaking the void with their clamor.
In the blink of an eye, the demonic cloud arrived before the dark crimson sea. A group of powerful demons manifested.
At their head was a tall, slender middle-aged man. Green demonic patterns covered his face, and his exposed neck and arms were all sheathed in green scales. An aura of stifling demonic energy radiated from his entire body.
The other demons also had imposing, oppressive auras, with fierce, ruthless gazes and billowing demonic energy.
"According to the Great Oracle's divination, the Divine World within the Colorless Abyss may manifest. We shall enter to seek it!" The leading middle-aged man took the first step, striding into the dark crimson sea.
Rumble...
With the arrival of this demonic host, the dark crimson sea churned once more with towering waves.
"It's the Demon Race!"
At this moment, another group approached from the distant Chaotic Void, carrying with them a tide of deathly energy.
"Hmph! The Underworld Palace dares to meddle? We shall see," the demonic middle-aged leader snorted coldly, glancing back distantly, before leading his followers to fully submerge into the turbulent dark crimson waters.
Not long after, the Underworld Palace contingent also arrived from afar and plunged headlong into the sea.
In the time that followed, several other groups of beings successively arrived and entered the dark crimson sea.
It could be said this stretch of dark crimson ocean had never seen such bustle!
At the same time.
"Ancestor, through my repeated deductions over this period, I detected a faintly discernible thread of extremely advanced law emanating from within the Colorless Abyss. I suspect it is a god-level law, and I believe it could be released by that legendary Divine World. Now might be the optimal time to explore it."
Within a certain sunless space in the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, inside a black palace, an unkempt, black-robed Wizard approached a seated shadowy figure and spoke.
"I have been in the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds for so long, even entering the Colorless Abyss on several occasions, yet have found nothing. Who knows whether that legendary Divine World is real or fake. Why would it suddenly release god-level laws now?" The shadowy figure replied slowly.
"Ancestor, divine energies, god-level laws, and god-level inheritances are profound and arcane, beyond our simple comprehension. However, that legendary Divine World has lain hidden within the Colorless Abyss for an immensely long time. Under the long-term erosion of time and space laws, an occasional leak of one or two threads of divine law is entirely normal. After all, even god-level laws may not withstand the prolonged erosion of time and the void," the old Wizard answered.
"Hmm, true. If that is the case, have Archfiend Qian and Archfiend Yan make the journey. I must remain in our headquarters to guard that seed; it is the fruit of my long-term efforts. Recently, many ill-intentioned figures from the outside world have been seeking to enter and seize it, so I must remain vigilant. Also, issue the order. Dispatch even more forces and speed up the eradication of the Light Faction to complete the first phase of the war to extinguish this era. My patience for further waiting is at an end." The shadowy figure spoke after some consideration.
"As you decree, Ancestor!" The old Wizard promptly responded.
"One more thing, Ancestor. When will your true body arrive? If those outsiders come to seize that seed, I fear only your true self will be able to oppose them." The Wizard asked cautiously, seeming somewhat worried.
"Set your mind at ease. My true body is due to arrive soon. When it does, whoever dares defy me shall be slaughtered!" The shadowy figure stated indifferently.
