Looking into the distance, the sky was like a black tide that drowned everything. No one knew how many dangers were hidden under the darkness.
This world was ruled by the Eternal Night.
Qin Hao's team advanced slowly in a circular formation. They were still flying through the air, not too high and not too fast. They did not stop at all along the way and went straight to the end of the abyss.
From that place, a terrifying aura was faintly emitted. It was like the absolute power that ruled over the abyss. It was the beginning of darkness and the origin of the demonic world.
Qin Hao knew that the primordial element, "No Return," was at the end of the abyss. It seemed to have merged with the power that ruled this world and became a part of the Eternal Night.
However, since he was here, he would naturally take it back.
No matter what they were about to face, even if there was a demonic god blocking the way, they had to take a gamble. With the two ancient divine weapons in hand and activated by the laws of the divine path, he believed that he could protect everyone without any worries.
Passing through the black mountains, broken cities of darkness flitted past under their feet. The aura of death and resentment in the space was very heavy and oppressive.
Tian Yun, Ye Shuihan, and the others occasionally looked down and found that the broken cities were filled with piles of white bones. It was extremely miserable.
There were human bones and giant beast bones. Compared to the scene on the ground of the ruins, the abyss was more in line with the image of an ancient battlefield. The corpses were piled up like mountains and there were terrifying scars of battle everywhere. It was as though a divine war had really broken out.
"Those are … dragon bones …" The Nine-Headed Snakelet transformed into its true form of a black dragon. Its pitch-black body soared among the team, and its dense black scales flickered with an incomparably sturdy luster. At this moment, its nine heads looked toward a certain city of darkness at the same time and saw the remains of an ancient dragon that was even larger than a mountain. The dragon bones were thick and it was difficult to imagine how terrifying its power was when it was alive.
But now, it had turned into white bones and collapsed in the city. It was as though it had crushed the city before its death. Even if it had collapsed, it had completely suppressed the city of darkness.
The eighteen eyes of the Jiu Ying flickered with a restless luster. Greed grew in its heart. The dragon bone in the city was even larger than the one that Qin Hao had helped it refine. Furthermore, the aura left behind was simply astonishing. The Jiu Ying could not help but want to worship it, as though it was a god of the dragon race.
"Don't be greedy. The dragon bone has been corrupted by the demonic path and has already turned into a demonic dragon. Its Dao Intent is no longer suitable for you. If you forcefully refine it, you will definitely suffer a backlash that will make you wish you were dead. Moreover, with our current cultivation, we are unable to refine it."
Qin Hao's words cut off the Nine-Headed Snakelet's thoughts. Its nine dragon heads swallowed a mouthful of saliva at the same time and said with a trembling heart, "I just want to take a look. I have no other thoughts."
Dragon of the Demonic Path, Demonic Dragon?
No matter how strong they were, if they were unable to fuse their Dao Wills together, it would be equivalent to taking it for nothing.
The clash of Dao Wills would result in the backlash of the rules. The Nine-Headed Neonate would not be able to withstand it and would be annihilated in the end. Was it not good to live?
However, it was really a pity.
Qin Hao also felt a wisp of Divine Will from the demonic dragon bone. It was very likely that it was a mighty dragon god. However, its bones were buried here and had been corrupted by the Dark Abyss. Its Dao Intent had changed and contained demonic Qi. It was no longer suitable for the Nine-Headed Neonate to refine it. It was not a pity to miss it.
"The killing intent here is extremely strong. It is very suitable for those who enter the path through killing to cultivate. If Palace Lord Ye and the disciples of the Night Luo Palace were to cultivate here, even if they could not obtain any opportunities, the Slaughter Dao Intent of the Dark Abyss alone would be of great help to them.
Shou Wuque said.
Ye Ninghong cultivated the Dao of Assassination. Not only the martial artists of the Night Luo Palace in the South Region, but also the martial artists of the Ghost Wilderness in the East Continent, the martial artists of the Flowing Island in the Ying Continent and even Hyun Ying could comprehend the Slaughter Dao Intent of the Dark Abyss. For others, it was not suitable for them to cultivate here. To them, this was simply a holy land for cultivation.
Qin Hao nodded. Wuque had a deep understanding of the Martial Dao. The Dark Abyss was indeed very suitable for Ye Ninghong and the Hidden Blade to cultivate.
Unfortunately, time was limited. He needed to get the Stick of No Return back as soon as possible. Once he crossed the Dark Abyss, he would be able to reach the core of the Valley of God Burial, the God Burial Palace.
Based on the analysis of the news from Daqin, it was very likely that Vivian would enter the God Burial Palace to protect herself. Without Qin Hao's help, even if the Dark Abyss was suitable for Ye Ninghong and the Hidden Blade to cultivate, there would be a certain risk if they stayed for too long.
Therefore, it was better not to summon them.
Whoosh!
At this moment, an extremely sharp sound came from below. It was very ear-piercing and very fast. Almost as soon as everyone noticed it, they saw an illusory black shadow piercing through the group like an arrow.
The remnant soul of the Monarch!
Swoosh!
In a flash, a glaring golden sword light lit up in the void. It slashed down and directly tore the black shadow in half. The Sword Will of All Things wreaked havoc. The heaven and earth were filled with earth-shattering howls of souls. Then, everything returned to normal.
"Is that the remnant soul of the Monarch?"
Tian Yun's expression changed slightly, and her heart beat a few times. Did the remnant soul of the Monarch Realm want to take over their bodies?
Qian Ning's eyes fell on Shou Wuque. A sword will slashed through the heaven and earth, and the remnant soul of the Monarch Realm was directly wiped out. Shou Wuque's swordsmanship was even more terrifying than when he was cultivating in the Divine Palace. His sword will could completely materialize, and he could gather his will into a weapon with just a thought. She really didn't know what kind of supreme treasure Qin Hao had helped him obtain in Sword City.
"This is just the beginning. The further we go, the more powerful the remnant souls we encounter will be. It seems that they are full of malice toward cultivators," Li Wanwan reminded him.
He had experienced it before. Although he was surprised at that time, he didn't take it to heart. But later … "If you die, you die. Do you think you can change your fate by borrowing a body?"
Shou Wuque said disdainfully. The ruins on the ground also had remnant souls of cultivators. In Sword City, there were four Nirvana Sword Emperors hidden in the swords.
However, those seniors had no malice and left their will for their descendants.
On the other hand, the remnant souls that died in the abyss were full of malice, pure malice. They only had one goal, and that was to seize the bodies of others to be reborn. This was against the heavenly path and reincarnation.
"Cough, cough. Perhaps rebirth can change one's fate."
Qin Hao blushed with shame. He was one of them. However, it couldn't be considered a possession. He used a divine implement to preserve his Monarch Realm soul and was reborn in the Qin family of Akita Town. The original owner of the body had already died at that time, and only his will was left.
Speaking of which, he also helped him fulfill some of his wishes.
"Whether or not I can change my fate, I won't show mercy to anyone who dares to touch my friends in front of me."
Shou Wuque said coldly. Qin Hao smiled. That was right. Others couldn't care less about the possession. These were all his brothers and sisters, as well as the people of the Divine Palace entrusted to him by Shui Yao.
"Big Brother, look. There are people in front."
Tsiogua pointed directly ahead. Under the dusk, a row of mighty figures in shining golden armor stood in mid-air, like a celestial army that couldn't be provoked. They were the War God Guards.
Now, those people were motionless, as if they were waiting for something. Could it be that they were waiting for them?
"Is that the Dao Sect's Tribulation Sword Emperor in front?"
A dignified voice rang out. His aura was thick, and he was a Ninth Heaven Monarch Realm expert.
"Commander, is there something wrong?"
Qin Hao raised his hand. The group stopped and looked forward. In front of the large number of War God Guards, a middle-aged man with a majestic face looked at him coldly. This man was strong and had an extraordinary temperament. Although he wasn't as tall and burly as Lugui, his cultivation wasn't below Lugui's.
"I'm Divine General Meng Xiang, under the command of the War God. Young Master Zhan Yan, since the Dao Sect's Tribulation Sword Emperor has obtained the Divine Tree's Fire of Dao, there's no need to continue forward. You have no fate with this place.
Go back, "Divine General Meng Xiang said coldly. He stood there majestically, as if he was undefeatable. He didn't allow anyone to cross his line.
Qin Hao frowned slightly. He was unhappy. Since he had obtained the Divine Tree's Fire of Dao, he couldn't continue forward?
Was he holding a grudge?
