Invincible Divine Sword

Chapter 295: Chapter 295 Hell Abyss

On the road, Yang Xiaotian was not idle; he sat cross-legged on the mountain-like head of the Azure Thunder Python to cultivate.

To condense a Soul Ring, one must break through to Martial Emperor.

Before entering the Soul Beast Forest, he needed to break through to Martial Emperor.

However, Yang Xiaotian had already reached the peak of Martial Ancestor with ten layers; breaking through to Martial Emperor was not difficult. Thus, before arriving at the Soul Beast Forest, he smoothly broke through to the Emperor Realm.

After entering the Soul Beast Forest, Yang Xiaotian continued flying to the very end of the Soul Beast Forest with the Azure Thunder Python and Iceflame Qilin.

According to Old Bing and Old Meng, to find a million-year Soul Beast, there was only one place in the Soul Beast Forest where it was possible—the very end of the Soul Beast Forest, the Hell Abyss!

Speaking of the Hell Abyss, both the Azure Thunder Python and the Iceflame Qilin could hardly conceal the fear in their hearts.

The Hell Abyss was the most terrifying place on the Azure God Continent.

“Is the Hell Abyss really that terrifying?” Yang Xiaotian asked, noticing the frightened expressions of the Azure Thunder Python and Iceflame Qilin.

Both the Azure Thunder Python and the Iceflame Qilin solemnly nodded with extremely grave faces.

“Thousands of years ago, seventeen Divine Spirits joined hands to enter the Hell Abyss. In the end, only one managed to escape,” said the Iceflame Qilin, its voice becoming somewhat unnatural.

“The one who escaped was the Master of Buddha Source!”

Master of Buddha Source!

Yang Xiaotian gasped in surprise.

The Master of Buddha Source was the current number one expert in the Buddha Source Empire.

And also the number one expert among the surrounding empires.

“The Master of Buddha Source was the weakest among those seventeen Divine Spirits,” added the Iceflame Qilin. “He escaped because he possessed a relic passed down from the ancient Buddha—the Kasaya of the Tathagata!”

“Relying on the ancient Buddha treasure, the Kasaya of the Tathagata, he managed to flee. Even so, he almost died in the Hell Abyss. Thousands of years have passed, and who knows if his injuries have healed by now.”

Yang Xiaotian was deeply shaken.

The Master of Buddha Source was the current top expert in the Buddha Source Empire and the weakest of the seventeen who entered the Hell Abyss. One could imagine how strong the others were back then.

Even so, all the others died in the Hell Abyss.

“When the Master of Buddha Source escaped back, he said that within the Hell Abyss, there existed a tremendously terrifying being. How many years that being had lived, no one knew,” the Azure Thunder Python said with a parched tongue. “He said that at the bottom of the Hell Abyss, everything was in darkness, and he was enveloped by the power of darkness, making it impossible to see his true form.”

“All he knew was that the being was bigger than the Ancient Divine Mountain, with blood-red eyes miles wide. With a single swipe of his claw, he killed half of them!”

With a single swipe, seven or eight powerful Divine Spirits were killed!

“He proclaimed himself the Abyssal Master,” the Azure Thunder Python continued. “Whether this Abyssal Master has lived for a million years or not is unknown.”

Yang Xiaotian’s heart could not calm down for a long time.

The Abyssal Master, huh?

Hopefully, this Abyssal Master is indeed a million years old.

The journey was uneventful.

One man and two beasts flew at full speed towards the Hell Abyss.

Since all martial artists on the Azure God Continent who broke through to Martial Emperor needed to condense a Soul Ring, there were many of them hunting Soul Beasts in the forest.

Fighting could be seen almost everywhere.

However, as Yang Xiaotian continued deeper into the Soul Beast Forest, the encounters with fights gradually decreased.

After one day, those he encountered were almost all tens of thousands of years old Soul Beasts.

Three days later.

The strength of these Soul Beasts became stronger and stronger.

Initially, sensing the powerful presences of the Azure Thunder Python and the Iceflame Qilin from afar, those Soul Beasts did not dare to approach. But upon venturing deeper into the Soul Beast Forest, even the powerful auras of the two Beast Gods could not suppress these Soul Beasts.

The attacks of these Soul Beasts became more and more frequent.

“`

Therefore, Yang Xiaotian and his companions’ speed was greatly affected.

In the end, Yang Xiaotian had Old Bing and Old Meng restrain their auras as much as possible.

While Yang Xiaotian rushed to the Hell Abyss, Wei Zongyuan was also hunting Soul Beasts deep within the Soul Beast Forest.

To ensure that Wei Zongyuan could hunt a satisfactory Soul Beast, his master, the Demon Sky Sword God, personally accompanied him into the Soul Beast Forest.

Not only the Demon Sky Sword God, but even the Peacock Clan’s Clan Leader, Lan Tianchang, also accompanied Wei Zongyuan into the Soul Beast Forest to hunt Soul Beasts.

Wei Zongyuan had entered the Soul Beast Forest half a month earlier than Yang Xiaotian, but, during this half month, he had not found a Soul Beast that satisfied him.

At night, the three of them sat around a campfire.

“Master, I heard that there is an incredibly terrifying existence in the Hell Abyss,” Wei Zongyuan suddenly said.

As soon as Wei Zongyuan mentioned the Hell Abyss, even the faces of Demon Sky Sword God and Lan Tianchang drastically changed.

“That existence, you should not even think about it.” After pausing for a while, the Demon Sky Sword God shook his head and said, “In the Azure God Continent, no one can kill that existence.”

Wei Zongyuan asked curiously, “Is that existence really that terrifying?”

Lan Tianchang gave a wry smile and said, “Terrifying? If that being were to come out of the Hell Abyss, the entire Azure God Continent would become hell, and even if the Buddha Mother returned, she would not be able to suppress that existence.”

“Unless the Lord of Azure God makes a move,” the Demon Sky Sword God said with a complicated expression. “Even so, even if that being could be killed, no one’s Martial Soul would be able to absorb its Beast Soul.”

“How terrifying that Beast Soul must be, even a Supreme Martial Spirit would be directly burst!”

Another seven days passed.

Yang Xiaotian, along with the Azure Thunder Python and the Iceflame Kylin, had already reached the deepest parts of the Soul Beast Forest.

Now, there was only ten thousand miles to the Hell Abyss.

However, the strength of the Azure Thunder Python and the Iceflame Kylin was limited, and they could not proceed further, only being able to escort Yang Xiaotian to this point.

Yang Xiaotian asked the two beasts to wait for him there, and then continued to fly towards the Hell Abyss under the protection of the Medicine Cauldron.

Suddenly, an immense Poison Scorpion attacked Yang Xiaotian.

This Poison Scorpion was hundreds of zhang tall!

Just its legs were hundreds of zhang long, and the legs were covered with densely packed poisonous spikes; the Scorpion’s body had countless black eyes.

Seeing this Poison Scorpion and feeling its overwhelmingly powerful Divine Spirit aura, Yang Xiaotian was startled.

Thump!

The Poison Scorpion’s leg slammed into the Golden Light Shield.

But this Divine Spirit Realm Poison Scorpion was directly sent flying and tumbling away by the force of the Golden Light Shield.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian finally relaxed a bit in his heart.

As he neared the Hell Abyss, Yang Xiaotian encountered attacks from several Divine Spirit Realm Soul Beasts.

Moreover, all these Soul Beasts were from dark and poison systems.

Finally, Yang Xiaotian saw the Hell Abyss from afar.

Billowing black fog continuously surged from the Hell Abyss, making it look like an actual underworld from a distance.

Without even approaching the Hell Abyss, an overwhelming, terrifying aura enveloping heaven and earth made it hard for Yang Xiaotian to breathe.

Even with Master Ding’s Golden Light Shield for protection, Yang Xiaotian still felt so pressured that he could not breathe.

In this place, no Soul Beasts could be seen, not even a Divine Spirit Realm Soul Beast dared to approach the Hell Abyss.

Dead silence.

So quiet it unnerved him.

Sweating profusely with nerves, Yang Xiaotian finally reached the edge of the Hell Abyss. Looking down, the Hell Abyss seemed like a Hell Abyss Beast with its massive jaws open wide, waiting for him to enter.
