The night in the Demon Abyss was dark and bone-piercingly cold.
The cold wind blew, and heaven and earth howled. Su Chen, who was sitting on the black rock, shivered from the cold even though he had the Immortal Tyrant Body Art and a powerful protective spiritual energy. The cold air that came from the Eternal Night was now invading the entire Demon Abyss. The Demons in the huge Immortal Devil City were all deep in their homes and nests. It was completely silent.
Su Chen suddenly opened his eyes. The cold air seemed to want to freeze his eyeballs. However, Su Chen's body was burning hot. Even the cold air from the Eternal Night could not continue to affect him.
Su Chen's figure slowly disappeared. He had entered a state of concealment.
It was not easy to come to the Immortal Devil City. Su Chen naturally would not let go of this opportunity. After all, once he left the Demon Abyss, it would be very difficult to come here again.
He had to make use of this limited time to find Su Xiaoyao's whereabouts.
In fact, this was not difficult.
When Su Chen had just stepped into the Immortal Devil City, his bloodline connection with Su Xiaoyao had already taken effect.
He could roughly sense Su Xiaoyao's location.
He also knew that Su Xiaoyao should have sensed his arrival by now.
However, Su Chen could not take the initiative to approach Su Xiaoyao. This was because she was currently in the core of the Immortal Devil City. That was where the Eastern Emperor Demon Emperor was.
No matter how arrogant Su Chen was, he did not dare to provoke a Demon Emperor. Even if the Demon Emperor was dying and did not have long to live, a Demon Emperor was still a Demon Emperor. Even if he had one foot in the grave, killing him would be as easy as flipping his hand.
The only thing Su Chen could do was to believe in Su Xiaoyao. He believed that she had not forgotten her 'father'. He believed that she would take the initiative to take that step.
In the night, Su Chen walked on the quiet streets.
Little Spirit Fairy's residence was definitely not a good place to meet. Su Chen had to find a safer place to wait for Su Xiaoyao.
Unknowingly, Su Chen arrived in front of a dilapidated temple.
It was unknown when the temple had been built, but it seemed to have been abandoned for at least a few hundred years. The entire temple was made up of evenly sized rocks, and although it was still abandoned, the main body was still considered sturdy. There were some Devil Clan's Qi inside, but they were all very weak. With a flick of his finger, Su Chen made all the Devil Clan fall asleep.
Walking into the temple, Su Chen found a mural enshrined on the stone wall. This mural was old and mottled, and most of it had become blurry. However, one could still vaguely see a figure that had reigned supreme since ancient times.
Although Su Chen couldn't make out the person's gender and could only see a vague outline, it still made him feel an inexplicable sense of fear.
The person on the mural was definitely not an ordinary person.
Su Chen made a grabbing motion with his hand and directly read the memories of several sleeping devils. From them, he found some clues about this temple and seclusion.
Very quickly, Su Chen obtained some vague information.
This temple was very old, and it was built almost at the same time as the Immortal Devil City. This meant that since the beginning of the chaos, when the two universes — Primordial Chaos and Demon Abyss — were just formed, this temple had already existed.
As for the figure on the mural, it was called the "Chaos God" by the Devil Clan. As for some detailed information about him, no one knew. Most of it was just rumors. However, no matter which rumor it was, this Chaos God was once an extremely powerful expert. There were even rumors that the Great God Pangu, who created the world, was just one of the generals under the Chaos God.
He was the ruler of the chaos, the common ancestor of Primordial Chaos and Demon Abyss.
However, this legend gradually lost its recognition as Primordial Chaos and Demon Abyss split.
The temple was no longer worshipped, and the Chaos God lost his last believer. From then on, this temple was abandoned for countless years.
However, the strange thing was that no matter how many times the buildings in the Immortal Devil City changed, only this temple maintained its original appearance. For hundreds of millions of years, it was as if the passage of time could not leave any traces on it.
As time passed, the Devil Clan became wary of this temple. Although no Devil Clan continued to worship the Chaos God, no one dared to tear down this temple. It was impossible to tear it down, so they left it as a shelter for some low-level Devil Clan members.
After Su Chen entered the temple, he silently stood still.
He knew that Su Xiaoyao would definitely be able to sense his position.
However, whether he came or not depended on Su Xiaoyao's thoughts.
Su Chen could only wait patiently.
Two hours passed.
In the deep cold of midnight, the leaking temple could not withstand the cold air of the outside world. A layer of frost formed on the bodies of the sleeping Devil Clan members. After hundreds of millions of years of evolution, their bodies had gradually adapted to the extreme cold. Under the attack of the cold air, their heartbeats dropped to the lowest, as if they had entered a state of hibernation.
Even Su Chen's brow was covered in a thin layer of frost. However, his expression did not change, and he remained motionless.
However, Su Xiaoyao still did not appear.
If he waited until daybreak and Su Xiaoyao still did not appear, Su Chen would have no choice but to give up.
If Su Chen had come to the Demon Abyss alone, he definitely would've gone to find Su Xiaoyao without hesitation. However, he was not alone. Lady Providence was here as well. He couldn't just focus on himself and risk exposing Lady Providence.
Another two hours passed.
At this time, the Immortal Devil City seemed to have been completely sealed in ice. Even the atmosphere was frozen solid. Even the whistling of the wind had disappeared. Heaven and earth had fallen into a state of complete silence. It was impossible to sense any fluctuations of life. All of the Devil Clan members had hidden deep underground and were beginning to die.
The power of the Great Holy Flame surged within Su Chen's body, but it was still unable to withstand this terrifying power. His body began to freeze, and even ice crystals began to appear in his blood. These ice crystals contained a strange power; even the power of the Great Holy Flame could not melt them.
However, Su Chen did not reveal any expression of pain. It was obviously painful, but in his calm and composed state, this pain was nothing to worry about.
Furthermore, Su Chen was not worried. As long as he protected his sea of consciousness, any other injuries would be negligible.
Midnight.
Icy frost enveloped heaven and earth. The last traces of light in the sky disappeared, leaving behind only complete darkness.
This darkness could not be broken by light. The instant any light appeared, it was mercilessly swallowed up by the darkness.
Su Chen's eyes were wide open, but he couldn't see anything. It was as if he'd been thrown into a black hole, locked in a small black room. Even his perception had been weakened to the extreme. The range of his divine sense had been suppressed to a pitiful ten meters.
Su Chen had personally experienced the terror of the Eternal Night. And this was only the tip of the iceberg. If the Eternal Night truly descended, this world would be destroyed.
At this moment, Su Chen suddenly felt some pity.
Hateful people were bound to have a pitiful side.
Tap tap ….
At this moment, a series of faint footsteps came from afar, coming closer and closer.
Su Chen's lips curved into a faint smile.
"Xiaoyao, you really came."
