Jiang Li looked at Lin Yuan with a curious expression.
The Heavenly Abyss passage had been open for quite some time.
A large number of dark race warriors must have already invaded the Desolate Ancient Continent.
If they were allowed to spread further, the entire Desolate Ancient Continent would fall into complete chaos.
Especially the dark race warriors, their numbers were practically endless, and their combat power was astonishing, not easily dealt with.
"It's nothing, the mere dark race was already within our calculations. Let's leave for now!" Lin Yuan stroked his long beard and said slowly.
Within our calculations?
Jiang Li frowned. Did they already know about the passage opening?
Xia Qingying, standing beside him, was also full of confusion, clearly not understanding Elder Lin Yuan's meaning.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
A sudden, violent roar echoed from the distant passage, and several streams of light flew out from within.
"Old Lin, long time no see. I didn't expect you to still be alive!" a hoarse voice reached Jiang Li and the others.
Jiang Li looked ahead.
He saw a group of cultivators, their bodies shimmering with golden light, appearing at the passage ahead.
Leading them was an old man clad in a dark blue Daoist robe.
[Name]: Feng Wuyang
[Realm]: Quasi-Emperor Realm Seventh Heaven
[Bloodline]: Geng Gold King Body
[Destiny]: Quasi-Emperor's Demeanor (Purple), Paramount Lord (Purple), Astonishing Fortune (Purple).
[Life Script]: Supporting character in "Chaos Great Emperor," Supreme Elder of the Chaos Sacred Land.
[Affection]: 0
[Recent Turning Point]: None.
He was a Supreme Elder of the Chaos Sacred Land?
"Feng Wuyang, it's been over a thousand years since we last met. Your mouth is still as venomous as ever!" Lin Yuan stared intently at the many cultivators who had suddenly appeared in the distance.
Besides the old man in the dark blue Daoist robe, there was a handsome and elegant young man beside him. The youth wore a golden robe, exuded an imposing aura, and carried himself with extreme humility.
Jiang Li felt an immensely powerful force emanating from the young man; the surrounding spiritual energy carried a sharp edge.
[Name]: Xiao Yun
[Realm]: Supreme Realm Third Heaven.
[Physique]: Chaos Immortal Body
[Destiny]: Destined Protagonist (Purple-Gold), Turning Peril into Safety (Purple-Gold), Many Aids in Attaining the Dao (Purple-Gold), Divine Might Shaking the World (Purple-Gold)...
[Affection]: -20
[Life Script]: Protagonist of "Chaos Great Emperor." Originally the son of a Heavenly King from the Upper Realm, he was cast down to the Desolate Ancient Continent after a catastrophe. His Chaos Immortal Body was fatally injured and unable to cultivate. After being brought back to the Chaos Sacred Land by a Supreme Elder, he coincidentally healed his Chaos Immortal Body and began his path to invincibility, eventually becoming unrivaled on the Desolate Ancient Continent and returning to the Upper Realm...
[Recent Turning Point]: Seven days later, he absorbs Chaos Divine Crystals at Eastern Wasteland 566.544 and breaks through to the Supreme Fourth Heaven.
...
Fifteen days later, at Heavenly Star Sea 478.364, he kills an elder of the Evil Spirit Race and obtains a Supreme Treasure of the Evil Spirit Race.
...
Thirty days later, at Eastern Wasteland 556.455, he kills a Quasi-Emperor level fierce beast and obtains a Quasi-Emperor demon core.
...
Fifty days later, at Northern Plains 566.244, he obtains a seventy-thousand-year-old sacred medicine and breaks through to the Supreme Fifth Heaven.
...
Eighty-three days later, at the Western Desert's Queen Mother's Pagoda, he kills the Buddha Emperor and obtains a Sarira.
...
It's Xiao Yun!!!
The protagonist of "Chaos Great Emperor," Jiang Li's heart stirred.
This fellow was indeed the son of an Immortal King from the Upper Realm, and he possessed the Chaos Immortal Body. His luck was also incredible, with a continuous string of fortuitous encounters that left him no time to rest...
Moreover, his cultivation had reached the Supreme Third Heaven. Coupled with his terrifying combat power, it was likely that—
"Junior Brother Jiang Li, that's Xiao Yun, the Divine Son of the Chaos Sacred Land. He's already a top cultivator at the Supreme Realm!" Xia Qingying said to Jiang Li from the side.
Jiang Li nodded. The other disciples of the Chaos Sacred Land around Xiao Yun were all true disciples, mostly at the Great Saint realm.
"Old Lin, is that the rising star of your Primordial Demon Sect, the Sacred Body Jiang Li? He is indeed exceptionally handsome and possesses the demeanor of a Great Emperor..." Feng Wuyang from afar said with a smile, looking at Jiang Li beside Lin Yuan.
Not far away, Xiao Yun also turned his gaze towards Jiang Li. His deep eyes seemed to hold a hint of surprise.
However, Xiao Yun quickly dismissed his thoughts.
He could already kill Quasi-Emperor level cultivators. Such weaklings were not worth paying attention to.
He had more important matters to attend to.
Lin Yuan spoke indifferently, "Are you here to show off your Chaos Sacred Land's Chaos Immortal Body?"
As he spoke, Lin Yuan unleashed his aura, and the entire area was engulfed in a violent oppressive force.
Upon seeing this, Feng Wuyang also released his aura, protecting the disciples of the Chaos Sacred Land around him.
After a while, their auras tore through space, and the already desolate mountains and land around them became fragmented.
"Heh heh, Old Lin, I won't play with you anymore. The dark race has already appeared, and there are many more things to do. I won't keep you!" Feng Wuyang unleashed a more powerful force, and then, with Xiao Yun and the others, he quickly departed the area.
"We should leave too. We need to prepare for the evacuation of Zhongzhou!" Lin Yuan continued.
"The situation has reached this point, and we're abandoning Zhongzhou?" Xia Qingying asked in surprise.
Jiang Li was also somewhat puzzled. Zhongzhou was the most central and prosperous region of the Desolate Ancient Continent.
Furthermore, it encompassed countless territories. If they could unite with many major powers, perhaps they could resist to some extent.
To simply evacuate like this...
"The sect has its arrangements. Let's go!" Lin Yuan did not answer Xia Qingying's question but spoke.
With that, Lin Yuan, Jiang Li, and Xia Qingying instantly left the area.
As everyone departed, countless dark race warriors poured out from the passage.
These dark race warriors, like a tide, rapidly covered all surrounding areas.
The dark race warriors, like a black tide, grew more and more numerous...
As if to devour the entire world.
...
With the opening of the Dark Heavenly Abyss passage, the entire Desolate Ancient Continent was thrown into an uproar.
Zhongzhou, in particular, had fallen into complete chaos. Some advocated for a united effort to eliminate the dark race, while others advocated for retreat.
However, even more people took advantage of the chaos to plunder everywhere.
Chaos, battles, and bloodshed quickly spread like wildfire throughout various parts of Zhongzhou.
All that could be seen was blood and chaos.
After leaving the Dark Heavenly Abyss, the dark race warriors launched a full-scale assault on various parts of Zhongzhou.
They acted like madmen, burning, killing, looting, and destroying everything within their sight. Wherever they went, there was devastation.
The black tide of destruction continued to expand.
