The Sacred Abyss Continent was located in the extreme west of the Great Thousand World.
Speaking from a certain degree, this wasn't a continent, but a unique space that was formed from a Lower Plane that could be linked to the Great Thousand World.
In ancient times, the Sacred Abyss Continent was one of the battlegrounds between the Great Thousand World and the Fiend Clans.
Thus, many powerhouses fell in the Sacred Abyss Continent, and it was so much so that the number of Heavenly Sovereigns exceeded the fingers on two hands. Countless inheritances, Divine Abilities, and Saint Artifacts were lost in the Sacred Abyss Continent. Over the tens of thousands of years, there were also some lucky fellows that obtained some incredible inheritances and shocked the world with a single feat.
It was precisely because of those successful cases that caused more powerhouses in the Great Thousand World to flock over, wanting to become the next lucky fellow.
But despite the fortuitous encounters in the Sacred Abyss Continent, the dangers in it were also unimaginable. Due to the battle in ancient times, this space was extremely unstable with all sorts of cruel environments. Even Perfected Earth Sovereigns would be annihilated if they were careless.
Furthermore, the most dangerous thing was that there were also the Fiend Clans in the Sacred Abyss Continent.
In ancient times, the Sacred Abyss Continent was initially occupied by the Fiend Clans. Thus, the Fiend Clans naturally possessed some spatial passages that allowed them to enter this place.
Their motive for entering the Sacred Abyss Continent was the same as many powerhouses in the Great Thousand World. That's because there were many powerhouses of the Fiend Clans that fell in the Sacred Abyss Continent.
Thus, those powerhouses of the Fiend Clans that charged into the Sacred Abyss Continent were trying to find those fallen powerhouses and obtain their inheritances to strengthen themselves.
Due to all these reasons, the Sacred Abyss Continent had become the intersection point between the Great Thousand World and the Fiend Clans. The moment the powerhouses of both sides encountered each other, it would definitely be a life-and-death battle.
Speaking from a certain degree, the Sacred Abyss Continent was practically one of the frontlines between the Great Thousand World and the Fiend Clans.
When Mu Chen and the rest arrived at the Sacred Abyss Continent, it was already two months later. Facing such a long journey, even Mu Chen was inwardly shocked.
After all, they'd relied on Celestial Chi Yan to travel through space. Even though it wasn't as fast as teleporting through teleportation formations, it was advantageous in that they didn't have to search for teleportation formations all over the place.
Naturally, this was something that only a Heavenly Sovereign like Celestial Chi Yan could afford. So if Mu Chen and the rest were to travel by themselves, the duration would probably be doubled.
"Is this the Sacred Abyss Continent?"
On top of a desolate mountain peak, Mu Chen gazed into the distance. The sky was dusky as far as his eyes could see, while the entire world seemed to be under an extreme pressure.
The Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth had become obscure and wasn't as lively as it was in the Great Thousand World.
In a place like this, it was several times more difficult to absorb Spiritual Energy from the world than in the Great Thousand World.
In the distant heavens and earth, there would occasionally be crimson bolts of lightning that violently flickered as they struck the ground. The violent fluctuations contained in those crimson bolts of lightning made even Earth Sovereigns feel fearful.
This continent seemed to be in an extremely violent state that was filled with danger.
"A long time ago, the Sacred Abyss Continent could be considered as a treasured land for cultivation. It's just that it was occupied by the Fiend Clans and contaminated by the evil aura. Even after my Great Thousand World tried to purify it, it still couldn't recover to its peak." Celestial Chi Yan said with regret.
Mu Chen, Luo Li, and Ling Xi sighed. The Fiend Clans could be considered as an enemy of their Great Thousand World, since they were too overbearing. Under the evil aura, even Spiritual Energy would be contaminated. If this went on for a long time, the Spiritual Energy cultivators in the Great Thousand World would probably disappear.
"Senior, is the Primordial Sacred Abyss in this continent?" Mu Chen asked.
Celestial Chi Yan nodded his head. "This is only the outer boundary of the Sacred Abyss Continent, and the Primordial Sacred Abyss is at the center of the continent. The space there has already collapsed, and it's enveloped by a spatial storm. We have to wait for the spatial storm to weaken before I can send you guys in."
When the Spacetime Storm was mentioned, even someone like Celestial Chi Yan revealed a solemn expression.
When Mu Chen and the rest heard that, they inwardly smacked their lips. They had no idea how terrifying the spatial storm in the Sacred Abyss Continent was to the point that even a Heavenly Sovereign would be so fearful of it.
"The destruction of the spatial storm is secondary. The most troublesome thing is that we might be sent to the territory of the Fiend Clans if we fall into it." Seeing their expressions, Celestial Chi Yan helplessly shook his head.
"The Sacred Abyss Continent is connected to the Great Thousand World and the Fiend Clans. If you fall into the territory of the Fiend Clans, even a Heavenly Sovereign would be in danger of dying. It has also happened in the past."
Mu Chen and the rest finally understood why Celestial Chi Yan was so fearful. After all, even someone as powerful as a Heavenly Sovereign wouldn't have a good ending if they fell into the territory of the Fiend Clans and were targeted by the Monarchs of the other party.
"Let's head to the Sacred Abyss City first. It's the largest city in the Sacred Abyss Continent."
Celestial Chi Yan waved his hand and a spiritual light enveloped Mu Chen's group of four. Thereafter, they turned into streaks of light that streaked across the horizon and charged through the region that was covered in scarlet lightning.
Although the Sacred Abyss Continent was dangerous, as long as they didn't encounter any spatial storms, Celestial Chi Yan could charge through with his strength.
Under Celestial Chi Yan's guidance, in just half an hour, Mu Chen and the rest could see the outline of a massive city gradually appearing at the end of their sight.
In the dusky sky, the city looked like an ancient ferocious beast crawling on the ground from afar, emitting an indescribable pressure.
As they got closer, Mu Chen realised that there was an indescribable barrier enveloping the city, emanating a terrifying Spiritual Energy fluctuation.
"It's actually a Spiritual Array Ancestor!"
Looking at the barrier, Mu Chen's heart trembled. With his attainments as a Spiritual Array Scholar, he could tell that it was a Spiritual Array Ancestor with a glance.
Furthermore, this Spiritual Array probably wasn't low, even amongst the Spiritual Array Ancestor Realm.
"This Spiritual Array was set up by the Heavenly Array Oldman in ancient times. Haha, the Heavenly Array Oldman was a Saint Grade Spiritual Array Ancestor. Even in ancient times, he was one of the top powerhouses."
"This Spiritual Array Ancestor is something that even I can't destroy with my full strength." Celestial Chi Yan smiled.
"Saint Grade Spiritual Array Ancestor?!"
Hearing those words, the countenances of Mu Chen and the rest changed, especially him and Ling Xi. As Spiritual Array Masters, they naturally knew how terrifying a Saint Grade Spiritual Array Ancestor was.
That's because the Spiritual Array Ancestor Realm was the same as Heavenly Sovereigns, separated into Spirit, Immortal, and Saint Grades. A Saint Grade Spiritual Array Ancestor was equivalent to a Saint Heavenly Sovereign.
They were practically the pinnacle existences in the Great Thousand World.
"No wonder I couldn't deduce this Spiritual Array with just a glance. If I forcefully tried, I'm afraid that I would be exhausted in an instant."
Ling Xi sighed. With her cultivation as a high level Martial Scholar, she was able to deduce the various flaws of ordinary Spiritual Arrays with a single glance. However, if she were to forcefully break through this Spiritual Array, she would most likely suffer a direct backlash.
"The Sacred Abyss Continent is connected to the Fiend Clans, and this Sacred Abyss City has the responsibility of monitoring and intimidating them. So it's natural for it to be protected." Luo Li nodded her head, expressing her understanding.
"Let's go."
Celestial Chi Yan nodded and led the four of them to quickly approach the massive city. In the end, they approached the light barrier that was emitting terrifying fluctuations and penetrated it.
When he passed through the light barrier, Mu Chen could clearly sense an obscure fluctuation scanning through his body. Under that scanning, all of his secrets seemed to be exposed.
He knew that this should be the test of the Spiritual Array, and if the Fiend Clans were discovered, it would probably attract a destructive attack.
When they landed in the city, Mu Chen and the rest realised that this city was unexpectedly bustling and flourishing. The streets were filled with people and all sorts of noises soared into the clouds.
Furthermore, Mu Chen and the rest also realised something shocking. More than half of the people in this city possessed powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations, and many of them had reached the Earth Sovereign Realm.
But in an instant, they felt relieved. How could anyone that dared to come to the Sacred Abyss Continent be weak?
Mu Chen and the rest swept their gazes around and in the next moment, they all looked at the centre of the city. There was an ancient stone tablet that was a few myriad feet that quietly stood there.
The stone tablet was emanating a powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuation with three crimson words at the top that flickered with a crimson lustre. Furthermore, it was emanating a chilling aura.
"Demon Slayer Ranking!"
Beside the Demon Slayer Ranking, there was a row of golden words that emanated an indescribable prestige.
"Great Thousand Palace, established."
"Great Thousand Palace?"
Mu Chen's gaze flickered as he muttered, "They actually used the Great Thousand World as their name? Just what force is that?
How domineering. "
Celestial Chi Yan revealed a weird smile as he stared at the three words, Great Thousand Palace. A brief moment later, he said, "Of course they're domineering. That's because this is an existence that surpasses any supreme force or Ancient Clan in the Great Thousand World!"
"The strongest force in the Great Thousand World!"
