"Long Fei".

Abaddon's voice, like cold starlight scraping through the void, carried a hint of indifference as if looking down on ants: "If you have someone to blame, blame yourself for choosing the wrong side."

His slender fingers, across the distant void, casually traced a line across the sea cliff area where Ling Feng was located.

“Buzz——!!!”

An invisible and irresistible force of spatial void descended instantly!

Ling Feng's expression changed drastically!

He was horrified to discover that the space around him, centered on the three star lotuses, within a radius of a hundred feet, seemed to have been instantly filled with the hardest ten-thousand-year-old ice!

The air solidified like an iron plate, the flow of energy stopped, and even raising one's arm became incredibly difficult!

Void Imprisonment!

Abaddon didn't even actually use the Void Oracle; he merely used his will to drive the rules, yet he still managed to trap Ling Feng in a quagmire where he couldn't move an inch!

"go to hell!"

Ares let out a sinister laugh, and the spear in his hand, crackling with crimson lightning, unleashed a devastating burst of thunder.

In his eyes, Ling Feng was already a dead man.

The dozen or so floating cannons behind the Northern Underworld God of War were humming!

One after another, dark energy annihilation cannons, as thick as buckets and compressed to the extreme, were like death rays, silent yet carrying the terrifying power to annihilate all matter, and instantly blasted into Ling Feng's chest!

For a time, Ling Feng faced the void blockade of Abaddon, the god of the void, plus the full-force attack of two other powerful divine beings.

Coupled with the suppression of the laws of the circuitous star path, the severely injured and exhausted Ling Feng had no way to avoid it!
"Damn!!"

Ling Feng's eyes were bloodshot! The Ten Directions Annihilation Technique, under immense pressure, was held horizontally before his chest—

In that split second,

boom!
Boom boom boom boom!
First, the Dark Energy Annihilation Cannon of the Northern Underworld Army God slammed into the Ten Directions Annihilation Sword that was held horizontally in front of his chest!
An indescribable, terrifying impact surged wildly into his body through the sword, causing his arm bones to crack and pop, and his internal organs to feel as if they had been struck by a giant hammer!

puff!
A mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs gushed out!

Immediately following, Ares's blood-red lightning spear, brimming with murderous intent, pierced solidly through his abdomen, the spearhead churning as if to shred Ling Feng's internal organs.

boom!
In an instant, the violent crimson lightning power, like billions of steel needles, raged and exploded through his meridians!

Immediately afterwards, with a loud "bang," Ling Feng was like a puppet with its strings cut, blasted high into the air by the two superimposed destructive forces, drawing a tragic parabola and crashing heavily into the dark, cold, star-reflected abyss, accompanied by a cloud of blood mist!
Pfft! ! !
A huge splash of water, accompanied by the muffled sound of an undercurrent, caused the previously confined space to slowly resume its flow the instant Ling Feng disappeared.

Only a few wisps of dark golden blood mist remained floating in the air, and crimson ripples spread across the surface of the cold seawater.

The next moment, Ling Feng's aura completely disappeared.

Ares sneered, "In this state, if attacked head-on by me and His Majesty the God of War, and even if you fall into the River of Fireflies, you will be devoured by those Starfires and lose your last bit of life even if you still have a breath left."

As he spoke, Ares gently raised his hand and plucked the three high-level Star-Containing Lotuses by the roots.

"Lord Abaddon, this is yours!"

He handed the Six-Epoch Star Lotus to Abaddon with a fawning expression. Just then, a roar came from the sea.

It was one of the four giant whale-like Star Origin Beasts that guarded the Star Lotus; the first one had already been resurrected.

"Let's go!"

Abaddon nodded in satisfaction, put the Six-Epoch Star Lotus into his pocket, and then used his movement technique to fly away.

With his abilities, he was naturally not afraid of those giant whales. However, since the Star Origin Beasts were immortal, he didn't need to waste his time here.

Whizzing!

Immediately afterwards, Ares and the Northern Underworld God of War also flew up and followed.

Although he obtained a Five-Epoch Star Lotus, the Northern Underworld God of War did not show much joy on his face.

After all, despite venturing deep into the winding star path, he still failed to obtain the divine office he desired most.

Without a divine position, even the Nine-Epoch Star Lotus held little significance for him.

……

"Lord Longfei..."

In the shadows far from the bay entrance, the members of An Ruosu's team looked at that sea with expressions of utter despair.

They had barely managed to escape the large number of Star Origin Beasts and find a safe spot to catch their breath when they witnessed an incredibly astonishing scene.

If such an attack hit a vital point, even "Dragon Flight" would have no chance of survival.

If An Ruosu hadn't been careful and immediately isolated all traces of the hiding place, they would all have been killed to silence them.

Yan's eyes were bloodshot, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked: "Those despicable bastards!!!"

An Ruosu quickly pressed down on Yan's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Yan, you must not make any rash moves. Those people are not people we can afford to offend! If you show your face, we will all be buried with you!"

Chekhov also sighed deeply, "Now not only has all our efforts been in vain, but we've also lost Lord Longfei's life. Lord Longfei's death was truly unjust!"

"He didn't die in vain!"

An Ruosu clenched her fists. "After the Star Road closes, we'll find another opportunity to tell the Goddess of Wisdom and the others about this. Once some things are made public, even those powerful beings at the God Throne level can't completely stay out of it."

After a pause, An Ruosu sighed softly, "Although I have no intention of getting involved in these power struggles among the higher-ups, Lord Long Fei has saved our lives twice."

“Count me in!” Chekhov thumped his chest. “I can testify too!”

"Therefore, in order to prevent the truth from being lost to the sea, we must remain calm!"

Yan gritted her teeth, her eyes gazing at the star-studded sea. Yet, she had a nagging feeling that the person would not die so easily.

……

It turns out that even the seemingly star-studded Milky Way is just as dark and cold on the seabed.

In this frigid seabed, thick, inky darkness enveloped everything.

Countless enormous skeletons, like tombstones, lay scattered on the silt, emitting a faint, eerie blue phosphorescence.

The immense water pressure squeezed Ling Feng's injured body, causing him to cough up several mouthfuls of blood.

Yes.

Ling Feng would not die so easily.

However, given his condition at the time, it was impossible for him to fight those three again.

He could only pretend to be dead.

Fortunately, at the last moment, Zi Ling used the insectoid abilities to preserve Ling Feng's life essence; otherwise, even he would have been severely injured, if not killed.

A tearing pain shot through my abdomen, and blood foam spilled uncontrollably from the corner of my mouth, only to be washed away by the cold seawater, leaving a faint trace of dark red.

The Dark Energy Annihilation Cannon from the Northern Underworld God of War and Ares's vicious Blood Thunder Spear nearly shattered most of his abdominal organs. Such injuries are not minor even for a god-level expert.

"Cough cough cough..."

Sensing the auras of Abaddon and the other two gradually fading away, Ling Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief and coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood foam mixed with fragments of internal organs.

He looked down at his chest and abdomen.

The last time I was injured this badly was the last time.

"Master, why won't you let me kill them!"

Zi Ling's furious voice rang in my ears, "Those bastards dared to plot against you! I'll make sure they all die a horrible death!"

Ling Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Don't forget why I came here. You must not reveal yourself unless absolutely necessary. Unless you were confident that you could kill all three of them instantly and not let any of them escape, you must not make a move."

Zi Ling fell silent.

She too was suppressed by the laws of the distorted star path, preventing her from fully unleashing her power. Perhaps this army of Shadow Insects could wear down Abaddon, but if he were to flee with all his might, she would be helpless.

"But Master, your injuries..."

"I'm fine, aren't I? Cough cough cough..." Before he could finish speaking, he coughed up mouthfuls of blood again.

"You still say you're fine!" Zi Ling's voice immediately became urgent.

"I have thick skin and lots of blood!"

Ling Feng shook his head and smiled, but it looked so forced. "Although I failed to obtain the Six-Epoch Star Lotus, the gains from that Ancient God Cave were enough."

He reassured himself, and in case Abaddon and his men launched a surprise attack, he decided to heal his wounds in secret underwater first.

Alternatively, they could delay until the detour through the star system was closed. Once they returned to the outside world, Abaddon and his people would be no threat!
He originally had no interest in challenging for the throne.

but now……

I heard that seating arrangements can lead to murder!

Abaddon, is it? I'll make you regret ever being born!

Why can't you be a decent human being? You have to act like an animal!

……

Half a day later.

Ling Feng still couldn't sense Abaddon and the others approaching, but after careful consideration, he decided to remain hidden underwater.

In his current state, the only way for him to avoid being detected by the Void God is to use the aura of the Star Origin Beast to conceal his own presence.

After half a day of recuperation, his injuries had recovered by about 10-20%.

The main reason was that he had overdrawn too much of his life force and source power, to the point that his indestructible golden body was almost ineffective.

Such an injury can only be treated with slow and quiet rest.

Just then, he suddenly noticed a faint light coming from the depths of the sea.

A unique fragrance accompanied it, which made him somewhat intoxicated.

and many more!

What was that light?!

"Ok?"

Ling Feng suddenly opened his eyes, a guess forming in his mind.

"Owner!"

Zi Ling's voice rang in my ears at the same time: "It's a Star-Gathering Lotus! It must be a higher-level Star-Gathering Lotus than the Six-Epoch Star Lotus!"

"Haha, could it be that I'm actually going to benefit from this misfortune?"

A smile appeared on Ling Feng's lips. Without further hesitation, he propelled his battered body, like a fish struggling in the mud, following the guidance of that special faint light, and arduously dived into the deeper, darker seabed.

The deeper you go, the more astonishing the pressure of the seawater becomes. The surroundings are completely swallowed by darkness, with only a few wisps of eerie blue phosphorescent remnants illuminating the eternal night.

After an unknown amount of time, a faint silver light suddenly appeared in the direction that had attracted him.

The light was not dazzling; in fact, it was rather soft.

Ling Feng's spirits lifted!
Just as he sped up, enduring the pain that felt like his bones were about to fall apart, and approached that point of silver light, a sudden change occurred!

Centered on that silver light, the seawater within a radius of several tens of feet suddenly became viscous and stagnant.

Immediately afterwards, an immense and irresistible binding force instantly wrapped around his limbs and bones!
"Oh no! Could it be an undercurrent?"

Ling Feng was startled. The once tranquil seabed suddenly surged with a huge whirlpool, like an invisible giant mouth sucking wildly from the bottom of the abyss!

Rumble!
A deep rumble came from the depths of the seabed, and the entire seabed shook!
That point of silver light instantly shone brighter, outlining the silhouette of a massive, breathtakingly spinning energy vortex!
In an instant, Ling Feng's body was completely out of control, and he could only let the vortex pull him into the unknown depths.

"Not good! Master, this is probably a spacetime vortex!"

Zi Ling cried out in surprise. The next moment, she appeared without regard for anything and transformed into her insectoid form. Her incredibly sharp insect limbs, like spears, pierced deeply into the surrounding seabed and rocks in an attempt to stabilize herself.

At the same time, he shouted at Ling Feng, "Hold on tight! Master—"

Hold on tight?

Where to catch them?!

Ling Feng gritted his teeth and could only hold onto Zi Ling's waist tightly.

However, the next moment, the irresistible and terrifying suction force directly pulled Ling Feng and Zi Ling into it together!
"Uhhh-!!!"

Both of them exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, my vision spun around, and my body felt as if it were being torn to pieces by an invisible force!

The icy seawater suddenly lost all pressure, turning into a scalding, viscous mud that enveloped and squeezed the body. Countless eerie blue star debris and phosphorescent flames transformed into long ribbons of light in the wildly spinning field of vision!
Only that strange fragrance was so clear at this moment that it seemed to have penetrated the depths of one's soul!

Clearly, they are getting closer to the source of that strange fragrance!

I don’t know how much time passed.

It might only be a moment, or it might take several days.

Ling Feng felt that after a long period of torment, he and Zi Ling were violently thrown out by that vortex.

The next moment, he crashed heavily onto a hard rocky ground.

At this moment, Ling Feng was still tightly holding Zi Ling's waist.

However, the body that was originally hard gradually became soft in his arms.

However, Zi Ling had already reverted to her human form.

"Cough cough..."

Ling Feng coughed lightly, quickly released Zi Ling, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.

Zi Ling didn't mind at all. Instead, she rubbed her eyes and looked around curiously. "Master, where is this place?"

Ling Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly. "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"
He coughed a few times, only to find that the heavy water pressure around him seemed to have disappeared.

Although every inch of his muscles and bones was wracked with excruciating pain, he had long since grown accustomed to this level of agony.

Before long, with Zi Ling's help, Ling Feng slowly stood up, but the next moment, he was completely attracted by a rich and exotic fragrance.

He stared intently and saw a dim, pale pink light, like a soft curtain of light, enveloping the entire space.

He stared intently, his pupils suddenly dilating.

That's a flower!

A strange flower that took root on the skull of an enormous, ancient beast of unknown origin!
The thick roots burrowed deep into the skull between the eyebrows, almost as long as an adult's thigh!

The stem is wrapped with deep, dark gold star patterns. These patterns flow slowly like living things, radiating a vast star source power that is hundreds or thousands of times richer than the Sixth Era Star Lotus seen before!

At the top of the stem, a solitary and exquisitely beautiful flower is slowly blooming!

Its petals are not individual petals, but nine layers!

Nine layers of shimmering, iridescent petals, existing between matter and starlight energy, are unfolding layer by layer!
Each layer of petals displays a distinct and dazzling color, with the outermost petals being dark gold and deep purple, while the inner layers are crimson and indigo...

Nine layers of dazzling colors converged into a deep and endless core, as if containing the essence of the entire universe!

On the petals, ancient divine patterns so complex that they would dazzle at a glance flowed like a waterfall, emanating an unimaginable vast aura, like the first wisp of star essence born at the beginning of creation!
The source of that incredibly rich and exotic fragrance is none other than this nine-layered wondrous flower!
Nine-layered lotus!

In an instant, an extremely horrifying thought flashed through Ling Feng's mind.

Could this wondrous flower before us actually be the legendary Nine-Epoch Star Lotus? (End of Chapter)
