All Heavens: Sharing Talents with Countless Mes

Chapter 756 The entire Abyss of Despair trembled.

"Excellent, you have already grasped the basics of the Eternal Flame," Wutongzi said approvingly. "At this rate, it won't be long before you reach the perfect state of a saint."

Although Chu Yang was pleased with his progress, he was always concerned about the safety of the Primordial World. He knew that every day on Wutong Star, the Primordial World was under immense pressure.

"Senior, how is my cultivation progress? When can I go to the Flame Starfield?" Chu Yang asked eagerly.

Wutongzi pondered for a moment: "Your progress is indeed rapid, but the dangers of the Flame Starfield far exceed your imagination. You'll need at least some more time to cultivate before you can ensure your safety."

Although Chu Yang was anxious, he knew that Wutongzi was doing it for his own good. In the dangerous environment of outer space, insufficient strength was tantamount to suicide.

And so, Chu Yang continued his cultivation. Every day he repeated the same training, but every day also brought new gains and breakthroughs.

And on the other side.

Deep within a distant starfield lies a region shrouded in eternal darkness. Here, there is no starlight, no life, only endless nothingness and despair. This is the legendary Abyss of Despair, a place where even light cannot reach.

At the deepest part of the abyss, there is a huge stone platform, covered with complex sealing runes. These runes emit an eerie light, enveloping the entire platform in a suffocating atmosphere.

In the center of the stone platform, a figure was firmly bound by thick black chains. It was a woman, dressed in a fiery red robe, her long hair cascading down like a waterfall. Even in this desperate situation, she maintained her noble bearing, like an invincible queen.

The chains are not ordinary metal artifacts, but rather formed from pure nothingness. Each chain exudes a chilling aura of death, as if it intends to devour all life. These chains are specifically designed to bind powerful fire-attribute beings, and for those who cultivate the laws of fire, they are the most terrifying shackles.

The woman sat there quietly, as if she had been asleep for countless years. Her breathing was extremely weak, and her life force had reached its lowest point. But even so, she still exuded an awe-inspiring majesty, the nobility belonging to the highest level of beings.

Suddenly, the woman's eyelashes trembled slightly.

Slowly, she opened her eyes.

In that instant, the entire abyss of despair trembled!

The woman's eyes radiated a golden-red light, a pure and intense glow, like two small suns burning in the darkness. This heterochromatic eye was very similar to Chu Yan's, but far purer and more powerful. If Chu Yan's heterochromatic eye was only just beginning to emerge, then this woman's had already reached perfection.

This is precisely the unique pupil feature of Archaeopteryx, and also a symbol of the purest bloodline of the Phoenix clan. Beings possessing such perfect heterochromia are extremely rare in the entire universe.

"How much time has passed?" the woman murmured to herself, her voice as beautiful as heavenly music, yet filled with deep weariness.

She slowly raised her head, gazing at the eternal darkness above the abyss. In that darkness, she seemed to see something, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

"Is there a crisis in the primordial world?" the woman murmured. "I sense a familiar aura... is it my legacy?"

She closed her eyes, spreading her mental energy outwards in an attempt to perceive the outside world. But the ethereal chains reacted immediately, emanating an even stronger suppressive force that prevented her from probing.

“Damn it,” the woman frowned, “these damned chains are restricting all my abilities.”

She looked down at the chains binding her, a flash of anger in her eyes. These chains not only bound her body but also sealed her magical power. Even with her strength, she could not easily break free.

"Void Demon Lord, do you think you can trap me forever?" the woman sneered. "One day, I will make you pay for your actions today."

It turns out that the trapped woman was none other than the legendary Archaeopteryx, the ancestor of the Phoenix clan—the Nirvana Phoenix!
The reason she was trapped in this abyss of despair was because of a great battle with the Void Demon Lord. That was a long time ago, when the Void Demon Lord had not yet joined forces with the Chaos Demon Lord, but was instead searching for powerful opponents to challenge in the outer space.

At the time, the Phoenix was cultivating a higher level of the Law of Fire in the Flame Starfield when she was discovered and challenged by the Void Demon Lord. The two powerful beings engaged in an earth-shattering battle in the starry sky, which ultimately ended with the Phoenix slightly winning.

But the Void Demon Lord was an extremely treacherous being. On the surface, he admitted defeat, but in reality, he was secretly preparing a conspiracy. When the Phoenix of Nirvana lowered her guard, the Void Demon Lord suddenly launched a sneak attack, binding her with the Void Chains he had prepared beforehand, and then imprisoning her in this abyss of despair.

“I was too careless back then,” the Phoenix of Nirvana recalled, “I never imagined that the Void Demon Lord would be so despicable.”

During the years the Phoenix Reborn was trapped here, it tried countless methods to escape, but all ended in failure. The Void Chains were a special magical artifact crafted by the Void Demon Lord at great cost, specifically designed to counter powerful individuals with fire attributes.

Even more terrifying is that this Abyss of Despair is itself a massive sealing formation. The entire abyss is filled with the power of nothingness, constantly eroding the life force and magical power of the Nirvana Phoenix. If she hadn't been powerful enough, she would probably have been completely consumed by this environment long ago.

“But now… I feel hope,” a glint of light flashed in the eyes of the Phoenix of Rebirth, “the one who possesses my legacy is approaching.”

Although most of her abilities were sealed and restricted, the connection between the Phoenix of Rebirth and her own heritage could not be completely severed. She could vaguely sense that somewhere far away, someone was using the power of her heritage.

"Interesting. It's not a member of the Phoenix Clan," the Nirvana Phoenix carefully sensed the aura, "but a human? That's quite unexpected."

She could sense a firm will and pure character from that aura, which made her feel favorably toward this unfamiliar successor.

"Since you have received my inheritance, it proves that you possess extraordinary talent," the Phoenix of Rebirth said softly. "I hope you can find this place and help me escape my predicament."

Just then, a chilling laugh echoed from above the abyss.

"Hehehe, my old friend, you've finally woken up."

A colossal figure slowly emerged from the darkness—the Void Demon Lord. Its appearance caused the temperature of the entire abyss to drop several degrees, and the deathly stillness instilled despair.

"Void Demon Lord," the Nirvana Phoenix coldly stared at it, "you despicable creature, you've finally deigned to show yourself?"

The Void Demon Lord chuckled dismissively, "Despicable? In this dog-eat-dog universe, only the outcome matters. Aren't you the best proof of that?"

"What do you want to say?" the Phoenix of Nirvana asked warily.

“I sense a familiar aura,” the Void Demon Lord said, narrowing his eyes. “It seems to be your inherited power. It appears someone is searching for you, trying to rescue you?”

The Phoenix's heart sank, but she remained outwardly calm: "Even if someone comes looking for me, you can't stop them."

"Is that so?" the Void Demon Lord sneered. "I'm quite curious what abilities that person has to find this Abyss of Despair. You see, this is a place I carefully selected; even the light cannot reach it."

"You underestimate the power of inheritance," the Nirvana Phoenix said confidently. "True inheritance cannot be interrupted by any force." The Void Demon Lord's expression changed: "You mean..."

“That’s right,” a smug glint flashed in the Phoenix’s eyes, “My legacy contains special guidance that can help the inheritor find my location. Do you think your seal can sever this connection?”

The Void Demon Lord roared in fury, "Impossible! How could my seal have a flaw?"

"That's because you don't understand the true meaning of inheritance," the Phoenix of Nirvana sneered. "Inheritance is not merely the transfer of power, but also the continuation of spirit and will. This connection transcends the material realm and is beyond the reach of your seal."

Realizing the gravity of the situation, the Void Demon Lord immediately began to strengthen the seal. The entire Abyss of Despair erupted once more with intense void power, attempting to completely sever the Phoenix's connection with the outside world.

But as the Phoenix of Rebirth said, true lineage cannot be severed by physical forces. Under the suppression of the power of nothingness, that connection actually becomes clearer.

"Damn it!" the Void Demon Lord roared in fury. "Since that's the case, then I'll go and deal with that inheritor first!"

“You can’t go,” the Phoenix of Nirvana said calmly. “You must focus on maintaining this seal now, otherwise I will have a chance to break free. Moreover, my successor is currently in another part of outer space, and with your abilities, you simply cannot determine his exact location.”

The Void Demon Lord realized it was in a dilemma. If it left to find the Successor, the Nirvana Phoenix might be able to escape; but if it didn't stop it, the Successor would find this place sooner or later.

"It seems you planned all of this long ago," the Void Demon Lord said grimly.

“I only made the necessary preparations,” Phoenix Nirvana replied calmly. “From the moment I was trapped here by you, I have been waiting for this opportunity.”

The Void Demon Lord was silent for a moment, then said, "Even if that inheritor finds this place, do you think he has the ability to rescue you? This seal isn't something just anyone can break."

"That depends on his abilities," the Phoenix of Nirvana said confidently. "But I believe that whoever receives my inheritance will be no ordinary person."

The Void Demon Lord snorted coldly and said nothing more. It knew that saying anything now was useless; it could only wait for the arrival of the inheritor and then see what abilities he truly possessed.

Meanwhile, on the distant planet Wutong, Chu Yang, who was cultivating, suddenly felt a strong call. The voice seemed to come from an extremely distant place, carrying sorrow and expectation.

"This is...?" Chu Yang opened his eyes in shock, "The voice of the Archaeopteryx?"

The Archaeopteryx inheritance within his body vibrated violently, as if responding to that call. Chu Yang could clearly sense that the source of the inheritance was in an extremely dangerous place, needing his help.

"It seems you sensed it," Wutongzi's voice suddenly rang out, "The Nirvana Phoenix has indeed encountered trouble."

Chu Yang turned to look at Wutongzi: "Senior, do you know what happened?"

Wutongzi nodded solemnly: "If I'm not mistaken, the Nirvana Phoenix is ​​trapped in the Abyss of Despair by the Void Demon Lord. That's one of the most dangerous places in the outer space; even I wouldn't dare venture there lightly."

Chu Yang's heart skipped a beat: "What should we do now?"

“Continue your cultivation,” Wutongzi said firmly. “With your current strength, you are far from being able to challenge the Abyss of Despair. But now that the inheritance has awakened, our time is even more pressing.”

Chu Yang nodded and said, "I understand, senior. I will improve my strength as soon as possible."

Watching Chu Yang resume his cultivation, Wutongzi silently prayed, "I hope it's not too late, Phoenix Reborn. This young man is your last hope."

Time flies, and Chu Yang has been cultivating on Wutong Star for more than half a year. In these six months, his strength has undergone earth-shattering changes. Under the tempering of the Eternal Flame, his Time Flame Law has reached a new level, and he has even begun to touch the threshold of the Saint's Perfection.

Every day of cultivation allowed Chu Yang to feel his progress; his body became stronger, his magical power purer, and his understanding of the laws deeper. Wutongzi's guidance was extremely patient and professional, almost teaching him various techniques and mysteries step by step.

During this time, Chu Yang gradually came to understand the wonders of Wutong Star. Every inch of this planet contained profound laws, and every Wutong tree carried the wisdom of countless years. As the master of this place, Wutongzi was fully aware of all of this.

But as time went on, a question in Chu Yang's mind grew stronger and stronger. This question was like a thorn stuck in his heart, keeping him awake at night.

That day, after finishing his cultivation, Chu Yang sat on the Phoenix Nirvana Platform, gazing at the distant starry sky. As usual, Wutongzi appeared beside him, ready to comment on his cultivation progress for the day.

“Senior,” Chu Yang suddenly spoke, his voice tinged with hesitation, “I have a question that has been on my mind for a long time.”

Wutongzi looked at him gently: "What's the problem? Please speak freely."

Chu Yang took a deep breath, then looked directly into Wutongzi's eyes: "Senior, with your strength, you could easily rescue Archaeopteryx. Why are you unwilling to take action yourself, and instead make me risk my life?"

Chu Yang pondered this question for a long time. Wutongzi's displayed strength was unfathomable; the tree spirits he casually summoned possessed saint-level power, and his own cultivation far surpassed the peak of sainthood. Such a powerful figure, if he were to personally intervene, rescuing the trapped Archaeopteryx should not be difficult.

But Wutongzi had been nurturing him, sending him on this dangerous mission. Although Chu Yang was willing to risk everything for the Primordial World and the Archaeopteryx, he still wanted to know the real reason.

Upon hearing this question, Wutongzi's expression became complicated. He remained silent for a long time, a hint of indescribable emotion flashing in his eyes.

"Do you want to know the truth?" Wutongzi asked softly.

Chu Yang nodded firmly: "Yes, senior. I want to know the truth."

Wutongzi gave a bitter laugh: "The truth is often cruel. Are you sure you want to hear it?"

"Confirmed." Chu Yang answered without hesitation.

Wutongzi gave Chu Yang a deep look, then slowly stood up: "Then, let me tell you the truth."

As he spoke, Wutongzi slowly raised his right hand. With his movement, the entire Wutong Star began to tremble slightly, as if in response to something.

“Actually, I am not the kind of being you imagine,” Wutongzi said calmly. “I am neither a powerful cultivator nor an ancient immortal.”
