Chat group: The ruthless guy was blown up after kidnapping Ye Hei at the start.

He explained that the Abyss maintains its strength through methods that connect with the heavens and through secluded cultivation, while An Yuncheng of the Supreme Palace and other figures who had left the Heavenly Court, such as the Abyss Demon Lord of the Demon Clan and the Great Swordsman Li Qiye, have all entered their later years and their strength has declined.

The gods pondered these thoughts, but an even greater shock was about to come.

"The identity of Cao Yusheng, the King of Burial, is not only that of an ancient emperor, but also a special being from the abyss." The Nightmare King's voice echoed in the ears of the gods.

He gradually revealed that Cao Yusheng's cultivation and strength had recovered over millions of years of practice, making him significantly different from other abysses.

Yan Lingji couldn't help but ask, "Has Cao Yusheng already passed away?"

The Nightmare King's answer was vague and thought-provoking: "Perhaps only time can answer this question."

The Nightmare King continued recounting the unique cycle of reincarnation of Cao Yusheng, the Burial King. He explained that Cao Yusheng chose to bury himself and cultivate the mortal path, bearing the mark of reincarnation on his body. He needed to reincarnate nine times to reach the pinnacle of mortal existence and become an immortal. This path was exceptionally special, giving Cao Yusheng a unique identity among the gods.

"Cao Yusheng is Han Paopao, and Ye Xiu's best friend." The Nightmare King's voice echoed through the interstellar space.

This information shocked the gods. Ye Xiu's close friend was none other than Cao Yusheng, the Burial King, which further highlighted Cao Yusheng's special status among the gods. The Heavenly Lord even specifically instructed the Nightmare King to closely monitor Cao Yusheng's actions, demonstrating Cao Yusheng's importance in the Abyss.

Meanwhile, Cao Yusheng had arrived at the Vermilion Bird Sacred Land, becoming the focus of the gods' attention. The Nightmare King showed anticipation and awe for Cao Yusheng, which filled the gods with curiosity about Cao Yusheng's identity and mission.

In the Vermilion Bird Holy Land, the clash between the Abyss and Ye Xiu's forces intensified. The Abyss had dispatched nine of its twelve Divine Venerables to guard the entrance to the Immortal Realm of the Vermilion Bird Holy Land, constructing an impregnable defensive line. This made Ye Xiu's side feel threatened by the Abyss's profound resources and deep-seated cunning.

·· ······Requesting flowers·· ·······

"The Abyss is powerful not only because it has many strong individuals, but also because it has a profound foundation." Ye Xiu analyzed calmly, expressing his wariness of the Abyss's mystery and depth of cunning. "We cannot be careless."

The powerful beings of the Abyss are not only distributed in the Vermilion Bird Holy Land, but also in the other three major holy lands. The twelve divine lords are each guarding a different entrance, and the Abyss's strategy of dividing its forces clearly indicates a certain scheme.

. ...... ...

"Several immortal powerhouses still exist in the Abyss, and they have not shown themselves since the Abyss's destruction," the Nightmare King added. These immortal powerhouses have become an even more mysterious and elusive presence in the Abyss.

Ye Xiu deeply considered and analyzed all of this, expressing a certain degree of awe for the Abyss's power. He reminded himself not to underestimate the Abyss's depth and cunning.

"Haha, it seems my reputation as a demon has spread even into the depths of the Abyss. Some ancient families have chosen neutrality; do you think I'm more attractive than them?" Ye Xiu said with a smile, deliberately creating a relaxed atmosphere.

However, the crowd did not relax; instead, they showed disdain for his humor. One of the Dao-achievers began to analyze the difference between the strength of those who had reversed the Dao and the gap in the Abyss, pointing out that although the attitudes of the ancient families had changed, they were still at a disadvantage overall.

The group exchanged bewildered glances, feeling the pressure from the future.

Chapter 306 Defying Fate!

"Sigh, if only a demon could appear; maybe it could turn the tide of the battle." Someone sighed, expressing their hope for the power of the demons.

Just then, the ruthless empress heard these words and couldn't help but show her displeasure. She unleashed a powerful aura, causing everyone present to feel waves of oppression. Medusa and Yun Yun were also shocked by her strength and couldn't help but feel awe.

"While the strength of the Reverse Path is formidable, we cannot rely on him entirely. After all, we now face the entire Abyss." The Ruthless Empress said calmly, her tone revealing an unwavering confidence.

Ye Xiu, standing to the side, smiled wryly and reminded the Ruthless Empress not to release her pressure indiscriminately, since this was a time of shared hatred and it was not advisable to cause internal strife.

As the ruthless empress's oppressive aura gradually dissipated, her identity was revealed to be at the Immortal Emperor level, causing astonishment and awe among the crowd. Her immense power rendered the Dao-established and half-step Immortal Kings present unable to move, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on their hearts.

Medusa and Yunyun admired the ruthless empress's extraordinary qualities even more because of this.

"So he was a great figure at the level of an Immortal Emperor! Now everything becomes clear!" one of the Dao-attaining beings exclaimed.

Emperors Xu Changqing and Zhuge Liuyun quickly returned to the Holy Land, delivered the message, and then each led three Dao-attaining cultivators to provide support.

Ye Xiu noticed Murong Xiaoxiao's whereabouts and learned that she had gone to Xuanwu Star. Xiong Ba revealed a piece of news that concerned him—Peng Ye was also there.

"Murong Xiaoxiao went to Xuanwu Star, and Peng Ye is there too." Xiong Ba's words startled Ye Xiu, who asked with concern, "Have they encountered any trouble?"

Xiong Ba shook his head, indicating that he was unaware of the specifics. Ye Xiu pondered for a moment, then said to the others, "We need to hurry over there and check on Peng Ye and Murong Xiaoxiao."

So, Ye Xiu led the group, including Li Hanyi, the Ruthless Empress, Medusa, and others, towards Xuanwu Star. Along the way, they discussed the current battle situation and guarded against the Abyss's invasion.

During their interstellar journey, Li Hanyi couldn't help but ask Ye Xiu, "Why are you so concerned about Murong Xiaoxiao and Peng Ye? Do you have feelings for her?" She blinked her big, watery eyes, deliberately teasing him.

Ye Xiu smiled and explained, "It's nothing. Murong Xiaoxiao is a good friend, and Peng Ye, well, we're brothers." His expression seemed very relaxed, but what happened next made the atmosphere suddenly awkward.

Ye Xiu's answer drew laughter from the three empresses. Li Hanyi, the Ruthless Empress, and Yun Yun said almost in unison, "Oh dear, is it because she's a woman that you're so concerned?"

This sudden question left Ye Xiu speechless for a moment. He quickly waved his hand to explain, "Of course not, I'm just concerned about my friend, gender doesn't matter."

Li Hanyi laughed and said, "Alright, we believe you. After all, with Peng Ye around, there shouldn't be any problems."

The ruthless empress nodded in agreement, expressing her support: "Yes, loyalty to friends is a good thing."

However, Yun Yun looked displeased and bluntly accused Ye Xiu: "You're just a lecher! You're always so concerned about women, and you want to scribble on a blank sheet of paper as soon as you see it."

Ye Xiu was speechless for a moment, but seeing Yun Yun's attitude, he knew that this matter could not be left unresolved any longer...

He solemnly said, "Alright, since you all say so, I swear I will never marry another woman again, and will only be good to the three of you." He raised his hand to swear as if to be serious, which made everyone burst into laughter.

Amidst the laughter, the universe suddenly trembled, and a powerful shockwave emanated from it. Everyone looked up in unison, only to see thunder and lightning rolling across the starry sky, as if in response to Ye Xiu's vow.

Ye Xiu's words echoed through the interstellar space, stirring emotions and igniting passion among the crowd. On this grand stage of the universe, they deeply felt the fragility and preciousness of life.

Under Ye Xiu's urgent instructions, all other tasks were temporarily put aside, and the common goal became clearer.

Survival is the top priority, and to survive, they must identify their opponents and retreat quickly if they cannot win. In this critical moment before war, every life is equally important.

"Listen up, everyone." Ye Xiu's expression was grave, and his voice echoed through the interstellar space. "We are about to face a fierce battle. The mission has become secondary; what matters is the life of each and every one of us."

Remember, if you can't win, save your life; never take risks. We must unite as one to face the enemy and fight for our survival.

Facing Ye Xiu's resolute gaze, everyone was deeply moved, feeling the leader's unwavering determination and resolve. They knew this was no ordinary battle, but a decisive battle that would determine the fate of the entire universe.

Chapter 307 Ice God, Ice Heart!

“Brother Ye is right! We are fighting for freedom and for survival!” Li Hanyi patted her chest excitedly, her words further inspiring everyone present.

"Yes, we can't just surrender; we must fight for ourselves!" The ruthless empress also expressed her firm determination. "With everyone united, we will definitely win!" Yun Yun's voice was also full of passion.

Medusa, Ye Hei, and other accomplished cultivators also expressed their determination to continue their journey and face the unknown battle together.

With everyone mobilized, the atmosphere thickened in the interstellar space, and a powerful aura of decisive battle permeated the air. Ye Xiu led the group on their journey to the Great Holy Land at the front lines.

Within the Great Holy Land, a fierce battle raged on the battlefield. A cacophony of sounds filled the air—screams, cries of agony, shouts of battle—creating a horrifying scene. The warriors swiftly entered combat mode, each movement swift and precise.

Suddenly, Ye Hei let out a roar, and a group of descendants of the Primordial Void Dragon Clan appeared before him. They exuded murderous intent, and sharp dragon roars lingered in the void.

"Ye Hei, you traitor, how dare you show your face here!" roared a powerful member of the Void Dragon Clan, their hatred for Ye Hei was obvious.

Ye Hei sneered, "I don't need your approval, I just need you to leave." He exuded a powerful dragon aura and engaged in a fierce confrontation with the descendants of the Void Dragon Clan.

The battle was fierce, and the atmosphere tense. However, at that moment, a massive army suddenly charged into the battlefield. Clad in robes of the abyss, their aura sharp and menacing, they were led by the Nightmare King.

"Nightmare King!" A descendant of the Void Dragon Clan exclaimed in surprise, the Abyss's intervention further complicating the battle. The patriarch of the Remnant Fat Clan also appeared at this moment, glaring angrily at the Nightmare King, his fury reaching its peak: "Nightmare King, how dare you Abyss people interfere in our affairs? Aren't you afraid of offending even more people?"

The Nightmare King smiled calmly: "When you're in the world of martial arts, you're not in control of your own destiny. Even if you die, you should have some value, shouldn't you?" His words carried a profound meaning, as if revealing a greater conspiracy in the abyss.

The atmosphere on the front lines grew even more tense. Although Ye Hei was powerful, he was still inferior to the Nightmare King. Guided by the Nightmare King, Medusa stepped forward to confront Ye Hei.

Medusa exuded a powerful aura, while the Nightmare King stood by, watching the duel. He nodded slightly, indicating that Medusa could go all out.

"Ye Hei, do you think your power can keep up with the Nightmare King?" Medusa said coldly, holding a long sword that shimmered with light.

Ye Hei's lips curled slightly, his eyes flashing with confidence and mockery: "King of Nightmares, so you even have to send a junior into battle. It seems the Abyss is also lacking in strength."

"Let's see if you still have the right to be so arrogant." The Nightmare King responded calmly, a cold glint seemingly flashing between his eyes.

The battle began, and Medusa wielded her longsword, displaying exquisite swordsmanship amidst the flashing blades. Each of her strikes was powerful, swift, and precise, aimed directly at Ye Hei.

Ye Hei remained fearless, his movements as swift as lightning as he dodged Medusa's attacks. As the battle intensified, Nightmare Han Paopao joined the fray, and his duel with Ye Hei grew ever more fierce.

The Nightmare King's Sun Lock, flashing with blinding golden light, collided with Ye Hei's lightning dragon. Sparks flew everywhere, and space itself seemed to pause. This clash between Celestial Kings caused the earth to tremble and the void of space itself seemed to shake.

In the aftermath of the battle, Ye Hei displayed his Celestial King-level strength. He unleashed a colossal electric dragon, its power astonishing, to contend with the Nightmare King and other great gods and emperors. The lightning surged like a sea, devouring everything in its path.

"This is... the power of a Celestial King!" Some beings with cultivation levels below the half-step Celestial King were injured, and some even lost their lives in this shocking battle.

"Ye Hei, you actually have such strength!" Nightmare Han Paopao couldn't help but exclaim, constantly waving the Yang Lock in his hand, trying to block the impact of the lightning dragon.

At this point, some of the past of Medusa, the Nightmare King, and the Great Swordsman of the Abyss is revealed.

It turns out that Medusa and the Nightmare King have a complicated relationship, and the fact that the Great Swordsman of the Abyss let Ye Hei go has raised many questions.

The battle continued, and suddenly, a figure wielding a sky-blue ice sword appeared on the battlefield.

His cold gaze swept over the crowd, then he froze and slew the disloyal. A harsh trial revealed the laws within the abyss.

Ice God Bingxin's ruthless nature was fully revealed; his eyes were filled with icy coldness, a stark contrast to his previous gentle demeanor.

With a wave of his hand, the spell "Ban Jie" within the divine seal was swiftly released under his control, instantly giving everyone a sense of an explosive burst of power.

Chapter 308 Blood of the Abyss!

"I will show you the true power of the Twelve Celestial Venerables." Bingxin declared coldly, his body radiating a mysterious frost power, making him look like an ice lord amidst the snow and ice.

"Bingxin, don't be too impulsive," the Nightmare King warned, knowing that revealing his trump card too early might cause even greater turmoil.

"Haha, Nightmare King, you're always so cautious. Now, it's time to let them witness true divine power." Bingxin chuckled, the coldness in her eyes intensifying.

Ye Hei looked at Bing Xin with disdain in his eyes: "The Heavenly Venerables of the Abyss are indeed a bunch of trash, they don't even take me seriously."

Medusa watched Ye Hei warily, fully aware of the strength of her opponent. Medusa warned, "Ye Hei, don't be careless. The Abyss's power is not to be underestimated."

Bingxin's appearance and magical artifacts underwent a dramatic transformation under the influence of the Myriad Curses.

His appearance became even more majestic, and the magical artifact on his body transformed into a giant sword covered in mysterious runes. The increase in power made him comparable to Ye Hei.

A tense and fierce atmosphere permeated the entire interstellar battlefield. Ye Hei sneered, "The Abyss Celestial Venerable does indeed have some strength, but that's all."
