Chapter 2662 Return to Nothingness
Upon hearing the Vermilion Bird's cry, Qin Sang also sensed a strange change occurring within the furnace, emanating a terrifying pressure.
This pressure was terrifying. It seemed to be very far away from them and had not actually descended upon them, but even so, Qin Sang couldn't help but feel his heart tremble!
An overwhelming fear surged through him, suffocating him. This fear stemmed from his own instincts; it was a fear of the strong, a fear of the difference in rank, and had nothing to do with the strength of his character.
A strong mind can withstand the impact of this fear and remain calm, but it cannot eliminate the fear.
Qin Sang had only ever felt this tremor when Lei Zu descended.
A powerful cultivator at the Mahayana stage, the Demon Lord!
Qin Sang wore an expression of disbelief.
When he fought against Chen Sha Demon Lord, he was worried about unforeseen circumstances and did not intend to capture the man alive. Therefore, he is still confused and does not know the true identity of this one-eyed golden man, nor does he know why the other party is chasing him.
Only now did he realize that he was being hunted not only by a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, but also by a Demon Lord!
Qin Sang desperately wanted to ask why, even if it meant dying, she wanted to die knowing the truth, but the other party couldn't answer, and the Demon Lord certainly wouldn't give her a chance to speak.
The Demon Lord is about to descend upon the sea of thunder!
No wonder the Vermilion Bird was so terrified. Although it was once a Mahayana Heavenly Demon, its cultivation has only just recovered to the late stage of the Integration Realm. It hasn't even stabilized its realm yet, so it's no match for the Demon Lord.
The only one among the 'old fellows' it spoke of who could help them escape this certain death situation was the Purple Star Child!
For a long time, Qin Sang deliberately avoided disturbing Ziwei Tongzi. In the cultivation world, there are no eternal backers, and Qin Sang would not develop a sense of dependence on anyone. He was not Ziwei Tongzi's master, and this sword spirit would one day leave him. When faced with danger and difficulties, Qin Sang tried his best to solve them on his own. Even in the Great Wind Plains, surrounded by powerful enemies, he dealt with various forces on his own, only using Ziwei Tongzi as a backup plan.
The Demon Lord is about to descend, and there is no room for maneuver. There is no other way but to ask Ziwei Tongzi for help!
Qin Sang suppressed her fear, focused her mind on the altar, activated the Earth Killing Sword, and shouted loudly.
"Senior, save me!"
……
Inside the oven.
The one-eyed golden man was enveloped in dazzling golden light, which was ignited by his anger, surging with golden flames, like a sun, or a golden elixir refined in a furnace!
Within the golden light, the golden embryo within the one-eyed golden man's abdomen was undergoing a dramatic transformation. The one-eyed golden man's entire body was engulfed in golden flames, which surged into the golden embryo, enveloping the golden hammer.
The golden hammer instantly melted in the flames, shattering into pieces, and the golden primordial embryo returned to chaos.
A golden nebula floated inside the primordial embryo. From the depths of the primordial embryo came a deep voice composed of mysterious syllables, each of which contained strange power. It should be a kind of incantation!
The incantation is like a whisper in this chaotic world; upon closer listening, it sounds like the beings in this world are praying to the gods.
As the incantation resounded, the weather within the primordial embryo changed drastically. Golden nebulae surged wildly toward the very center of the primordial embryo, merging, condensing, and piling up as if building something.
Outside the primordial embryo, the one-eyed golden man's eyes were tightly closed. His reason seemed to have been destroyed by overwhelming rage, leaving only pure anger and no other emotions.
Just then, his golden skin suddenly lost its luster, as if his life force had been drained. Then, his skin began to contract and wrinkle, and his flesh sank down, as if he were being devoured by some kind of force.
In an instant, the one-eyed golden man transformed from a towering, robust giant into a emaciated figure. He remained as tall as ever, but without flesh and blood, his skin clung almost to his bones, and his limbs resembled long, thin bony rods, utterly disproportionate. His features were sunken, and he was emaciated beyond recognition, resembling a golden skull.
It's hard to imagine what kind of power could have almost drained such a strong person dry!
What drained him was the golden primordial embryo within his body, and at this moment, a giant golden stele stood inside the primordial embryo.
The giant monument is square, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, with a square base attached to the bottom.
On the giant monument, there was only a rune of unknown meaning engraved in the very center, and no other text or patterns.
"Your subordinate...respectfully welcomes...my lord..."
The one-eyed golden man bowed down and knelt in worship towards the void. When his praise rang out, it seemed as if some kind of ritual had been completed.
The runes on the giant monument suddenly began to spin rapidly.
An indescribable force extended outwards, traversing billions of miles of void, and established contact with an infinitely distant being.
The one-eyed golden man used the primordial embryo and the giant stele as an altar to summon that being to descend!
'boom!'
Golden light shone brightly, illuminating the entire primordial space. The runes on the giant stele seemed to open an invisible door, and a terrifying pressure emanated from behind the door!
The one-eyed golden man moved too fast; by the time Suzaku reacted, the portal was about to open.
The Vermilion Bird cried out in alarm, urging Qin Sang to call for help. At the same time, it revealed its true form between the eyebrows of the Flame Bird. The true form vigorously flapped its wings, and the Flame Bird detached from its body, spread its giant wings, and flew towards the furnace.
The flames from all directions were stirred by the divine bird and surged into the furnace, creating an astonishing spectacle of endless blazing fire. If an ordinary cultivator were to fall into the furnace, he would likely be burned to ashes immediately.
The Vermilion Bird unleashed its full power, engulfing the furnace in flames, the flames within reaching their peak strength.
The one-eyed golden man was no longer visible in the furnace; instead, a giant golden stele stood there, its gates opening!
'call! '
In an instant, the endless flames were compressed by the furnace and transformed into a fiery cone in front of the giant monument.
The fiery spike aimed at the golden eye-like portal and stabbed fiercely!
With this attack, Suzaku used all its strength to destroy the gate and stop the one-eyed golden man's intentions.
Just as the fiery spike was about to pierce through the golden light and tear open the portal, a cold snort suddenly came from inside the portal.
The portal opened only a crack, but suddenly a wave surged out. The wave was invisible, and it crossed the portal. It was a sword intent, a terrifying sword intent that could cleave the sky, and it collided with the Crimson Fire Spike.
The next moment, the fiery spike melted away in that sword intent.
'boom!'
A loud popping sound came from inside the oven.
The furnace shook violently, and countless cracks suddenly spread across its body. Finally, unable to withstand the pressure, it exploded and shattered.
A surge of golden light and firelight burst through the furnace and swept in all directions.
The Vermilion Bird's expression changed drastically. It felt an extremely terrifying force backlashing from its divine powers and domain, leaving it nowhere to hide or escape. It let out a mournful cry, spat out blood, and flew backward.
Qin Sang was greatly surprised.
"Senior, save me!"
He screamed inwardly and hurriedly caught the Vermilion Bird, only to find that its internal energy was in great disarray and it was already seriously injured.
The Demon Lord's power is truly immense!
With a single strike from a distance, the Vermilion Bird's divine power was shattered, causing it to cough up blood. Keep in mind that the Vermilion Bird was a fallen celestial demon; if it were an ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, the damage would likely have been far more severe than just injury.
"senior……"
However, Qin Sang's calls were like stones sinking into the sea, and Ziwei Boy did not respond at all.
His heart sank. Could it be that Ziwei Tongzi was at some critical moment, and he couldn't make a move at this time?
At this moment, amidst the aftershocks, the giant golden monument was also shaking violently, teetering on the brink of collapse, but ultimately held firm. From within came the roar of the one-eyed golden man, a roar filled not only with rage but also with extreme pain.
Although he was the most valued subordinate of the Angry Demon Lord, and had made many great contributions, and was bestowed with the Sacred Fire Divine Token personally crafted by the Angry Demon Lord, summoning the power of the Angry Demon Lord also required the cooperation of an altar and a sacrifice. However, he did not have time to prepare an altar at the moment, and could only use himself as the altar and sacrifice.
Every inch the portal opened was equivalent to tearing him apart a thousand times. This kind of pain is unimaginable for ordinary people. If it weren't for his strong will, he would have gone mad by now.
Finally, the portal gradually opened, and a blade of light appeared from its depths, about to cleave through the void and descend upon this world.
At the same time, Lei Hai is also undergoing dramatic changes.
'Boom!'
The lightning plasma surged wildly towards the sea eye, and the underwater vortex affected every corner of the lightning sea, which was spinning along with the vortex.
It seemed as if a legendary gluttonous beast was frantically sucking up the lightning paste in the eye of the sea, instantly absorbing tens of thousands of acres of water. Not satisfied, it unleashed an even greater suction force, trying to drain the entire sea of lightning dry!
This suction force also contained a profound aura, an aura that seemed to have always existed, dormant within the sea of lightning, and now awakened by the will of the beast horde.
This aura is omnipresent, filling every corner of the sea of lightning. Even though it has only just been awakened and only a small part of it has been revealed, it still possesses unimaginable power. Endless Netherworld Lightning and Thunder Essence are being mobilized by this aura.
'boom!'
The roar echoed across the sea of thunder, and the energy was reviving, immediately locking onto the two intruders.
One place is the Demon Lord Luo Luo in the deep pool, and the other place is the battlefield where Qin Sang and the others are.
The deep pool, the treasure vault, and the Demon Lord Luo Luo were the first to be sucked into the sea eye. Faced with such power, the Demon Lord Luo Luo had no ability to resist.
The lightning rune instantly twisted and deformed until it collapsed, signifying that all his previous efforts had been in vain. Lord Luo Luo's eyes were bloodshot with rage. The treasure vault was so close, yet it seemed as if there was an insurmountable chasm between them!
"No!"
The Demon Lord Luo Luo was unwilling, but powerless to do anything about it. He and his roar were engulfed by the vast expanse of thunderous lava!
On the battlefield.
Just as the blade was about to strike, a soft exclamation suddenly rang out.
The same cold snort came from the same master, the Angry Demon Lord, whose voice carried a hint of surprise and uncertainty.
At the same time, the energy permeating the sea of thunder surged toward the giant monument, followed by astonishing waves of power.
'boom!'
The massive tide slammed against the giant monument, causing a burst of golden light before being swept away by the black lightning.
The one-eyed golden man let out a final roar, the giant monument shattered into pieces under the surging tide, the portal that had just opened a crack was suddenly slammed shut, trapping the blade's edge inside, and at the same time, that connection was completely severed.
Qin Sang was still anxiously pleading for help from Ziwei Tongzi when this unexpected turn of events occurred, and the crisis was resolved by Lei Hai. She was stunned.
What followed was not joy, but greater anxiety.
Even the Vermilion Bird couldn't do it, so who could possibly stop the Demon Lord from descending? The answer is self-evident.
Could there be other powerful figures in Lei Hai?
'Rumble...'
The tidal wave came crashing down, sweeping everything in its path. Qin Sang was shocked and had no time to think. He hurriedly recalled the Thunder Beast Guards that were tumbling in the torrent, and stuffed them into the small cave along with the Vermilion Bird. Then he felt as if he had been struck by a huge force and was involuntarily swept away by the tidal wave.
Fortunately, the giant tide no longer possessed the terrifying power that had just shattered the giant monument, so Qin Sang was not turned into mincemeat.
'call! '
Qin Sang felt dizzy and was swept away by the giant tide, not knowing where she was being taken.
Surrounded by the tidal wave, Qin Sang could only do her best to maintain the protection of her Dharma Domain, and her spiritual senses were also greatly restricted. All around her was surging lava and pitch blackness. She didn't know where the one-eyed golden man had been swept away or whether he was still alive.
He felt himself plummeting rapidly, struggling to break free from the tidal wave, but it was too late.
At this moment, a visible whirlpool appeared on the surface of Lei Hai, covering the entire sea surface and leading directly to the sea eye.
The sea eye is swallowing the entire Thunder Sea.
Even the Nether Lightning scattered within the Thunder Abyss outside the Thunder Sea was captured by the vortex's suction force.
Black lightning converged into a torrent, shooting towards the sea of thunder. This nether lightning, which had emerged from the sea of thunder, was now returning to its original place.
In an instant, the black lightning was completely absorbed. As it was absorbed, the aura of dark lightning that permeated the Thunder Abyss also dissipated, and a beam of heavenly light shone into the Thunder Abyss.
Despite the fierce battle between Qin Sang and the others below, only the earth shook outside Lei Yuan; no other unusual phenomena occurred, and the sky remained clear and the sun shone brightly.
This was the first ray of sunlight to shine into the Netherworld Thunder Abyss after its formation. The sunlight dispelled the darkness, revealing the disappearing Thunder Abyss.
Under the sunlight, wisps of transparent fluctuations appeared inside Thunder Abyss, a sight of distorted void.
At the same time, the mountains surrounding Lei Yuan suddenly exploded, as if they were being stretched apart by an expanding space. Then the earth shattered and moved outward, and cracks rapidly spread in all directions. Yuan Tian Island was being torn apart!
Deep within Thunder Abyss, after the black lightning disappeared, the surface of the Thunder Sea also dropped rapidly, but it still couldn't fill the sea eye. In the end, all the thunderous liquid was swallowed up by the sea eye.
The once-thunderous sea is now completely empty!
Without any lightning or even a trace of its aura, Qin Sang and the others fell into the sea eye along with the lightning.
But there was no sea eye here, only an empty void, as if the Abyss of Nether Thunder had evaporated out of thin air!
……
I don't know how much time has passed.
Yuantian Island, the largest island in the surrounding waters, has split into more than a dozen smaller islands, which are extremely far apart. This cannot be explained by an earthquake.
The tsunami triggered by the island's disintegration has not yet subsided.
The place where the Abyss of Dark Thunder once stood has become a vast, empty sea.
Suddenly, two streaks of light descended from the sky, transforming into two old men. If any cultivators from the Underworld Ancestor Mountain were here, they would be greatly alarmed. The portrait enshrined in the Law Enforcement Hall of the Underworld Ancestor Mountain was of one of the old men in gray robes.
This is the head of the Enforcement Hall, but he doesn't concern himself with worldly affairs, simply because he is the patriarch of the sect. The aura of the other old man is comparable to that of the gray-robed old man; it turns out that the two demon lords from the Underworld Ancestor Mountain have arrived here.
They stared in shock at the raging waves below, the vast Abyss of Nether Thunder had vanished without a trace!
