The next day, the gathering point city suddenly burst into an uproar. That's because many groups had seen those powerful groups moving together. After gathering outside the city, they majestically soared into the sky and flew towards the distance.
This large-scale movement had undoubtedly caused many teams to be shocked. Due to the difference in strength, some of them couldn't obtain the qualifications to participate in the gathering, so they couldn't obtain any information regarding the Four Ancestor Ruins. Thus, it was hard for them to know the reason for such a huge commotion.
However, there were also some quick-witted teams among them. They swiftly moved and followed behind the main group.
The main group did not pay any attention to those tailing behind them. According to Qin Bubai, there would definitely be many experts of the Fiend Clans gathering at the Four Ancestor Ruins. At that time, if a battle broke out, those fellows who were blinded by greed would only be courting misfortune.
Mu Chen and Wen Qingxuan's teams were also within the main group, maintaining a safe distance from the other teams. Naturally, it was the same for all the other teams.
Although they could barely be considered to be in the same camp now, everyone knew that there was only so much of the Four Patriarchs' legacy. Obviously, there were too many monks and not enough gruel. When the time came, everyone else would be competitors.
So it was necessary for them to maintain their guard against competitors.
"This commotion is truly formidable."
As they travelled, Mu Chen couldn't help sighing when he saw this commotion. According to his estimations, there were at least ten-odd elite teams in this group, and those teams could be considered as the strongest in the Primordial Sacred Abyss.
"This means that the ruins of the Four Ancestors are extremely dangerous," Luo Li said softly with a solemn expression.
Mu Chen nodded his head. This journey was filled with danger, and it wasn't something that the Spiritual Butterfly Ruins could compare to. If he wanted to obtain the Eight-Divisional Pagoda, not only would he have to face competitors, but he would also have to fight with the Fiend Clans.
"The situation in the ruins of the Four Ancestors is unclear. If we are separated, don't force yourself."
Mu Chen looked at Luo Li and solemnly said. Luo Li also had her own mission, which was to obtain the Ancient Spirit Clan's Ancient Spirit Annihilation Light. However, her cultivation was only at the Lesser Earth Sovereign Realm, so she naturally couldn't compete in the Sacred Abyss, which was filled with Perfected Earth Sovereigns.
If he had been by Luo Li's side, he would have been able to help her to the best of his ability. However, he was afraid that the situation in the ruins of the four ancestors would be inexplicable. If they were separated, he was worried that something would happen to Luo Li.
Sensing Mu Chen's concern, Luo Li faintly smiled. Her exquisite and absolutely beautiful face seemed to be the most beautiful colour in the world. Nodding her head, she replied, "Rest assured, I won't force myself."
"Furthermore, don't underestimate me just because I'm a Lesser Earth Sovereign. I have my own means." Luo Li winked at Mu Chen as she slyly said.
Mu Chen was briefly stunned before he nodded his head. Since Luo Li had said that, then she must have made some preparations.
"If I have not guessed incorrectly, the lady beside Xuan Luo should be a Quasi-Holy Maiden of the Ancient Spirit Clan. I'm afraid that her objective is also the Ancient Spirit Annihilation Light." Luo Li swept her gaze as she spoke.
"Oh?"
Mu Chen squinted his eyes. He had naturally noticed the charming lady beside Xuan Luo. Her appearance was naturally a top-notch beauty.
"How did you know?"
Luo Li smiled. "It's a woman's intuition. She has observed me too many times, and it's too obscure."
Mu Chen was speechless. Shortly after, he shook his head with a helpless smile. The intuition of this woman was truly frightening. Even those gazes that were quietly sizing him up seemed to be extremely sensitive.
"That woman is a little shrewd."
Mu Chen briefly pondered before he said. Although he did not come in contact with that woman, he could tell that she was someone who knew how to use money and power. There would always be other Perfected Earth Sovereigns around her.
This was completely different from Luo Li. In the gathering city, there were naturally quite a few powerful experts that came over to try and get close to her due to her beauty. However, they were all met with a cold and indifferent response from her. She did not have the slightest intention of pulling those experts over to her side.
Luo Li nodded her head with a smile. That woman was truly capable.
"Don't worry, I will be careful of her."
Mu Chen also nodded his head. That Quasi-Holy Maiden might be shrewd, but Luo Li should not be underestimated. She was able to pull the Luo God Clan back to the path of prosperity from the brink of collapse. That meant that her intelligence was comparable to her appearance.
As long as Luo Li had her guard up, that woman would not be able to pose any threat to her.
When the two of them spoke, they suddenly sensed that the group had started to speed up. Evidently, Qin Bubai had also increased his speed. Thus, they did not speak any further and led the others to follow closely behind.
The large group travelled for an entire day and night. When night fell, the large group rested in the mountains and waited for the next morning to arrive before continuing their journey.
At dusk on the second day, Mu Chen and the rest finally sensed that the speed of the large group had started to slow down.
"Everyone, we're about to reach our destination!"
Qin Bubai's robust voice rumbled like thunder as it resounded from the front.
An uproar broke out in the large group. After which, numerous gazes shot towards the distance, only to see a bottomless abyss appearing on the ground.
The abyss was indescribably huge. Looking from afar, it looked like a boundless black pit, as if it was a black hole on the ground. It made one's hair stand on end.
On this side of the abyss, there seemed to be a blazing sun hovering, emitting endless radiance.
On the other side of the abyss, it was shrouded in darkness with demonic aura rising. It was like a demonic domain.
Light and darkness constantly corroded each other, causing the space there to show signs of shattering under the corrosion. Occasionally, there would be terrifying space-time storms whistling.
"This is the Fallen God Abyss!"
While Mu Chen and the rest were absent-mindedly looking at the terrifying corrosion above the abyss, Wen Qingxuan's grave voice resounded from the side.
"Fallen God Abyss?" Mu Chen was stunned.
"It's rumored that in ancient times, the four Ancestors fought with the four Sky Monarchs of the Fiend Clans here, and this abyss should be the masterpiece of that battle." Wen Qingxuan said.
"This is where they fell. It's no wonder why their remnant wills would gather here after tens of thousands of years. It must be because their obsession was too deep, and they vowed to destroy each other."
Mu Chen nodded his head with a grave expression as he looked at the darkness with his eyes squinted. The experts of the Fiend Clans must have gathered here by now, right?
As they spoke, the army approached the edge of the abyss. Then, enveloped by the light, they gradually descended.
When Mu Chen and the rest descended, they immediately sensed an aged voice that seemed to have penetrated through time and space and rang out in their minds.
"Helpers of the Great Thousand World, you guys are finally here."
Mu Chen and the rest exchanged a look. That aged voice was probably the remnant will of one of the four Ancestors.
"Senior, what should we do?" Qin Bubai cupped his fists.
"The remnant souls of the four Sky Monarchs were suppressed by the four of us back then, and we intended to grind them down with time. But recently, they felt that they couldn't hold on any longer, so they started to summon the Fiend Clans in an attempt to break the suppression and release the remnant souls."
"If they succeed, they will be able to establish a connection with the Fiend Clans, and the Sacred Abyss Continent will be dragged into the demonic realm by them, becoming a springboard to attack our Great Thousand World."
Hearing those words, everyone's hearts trembled with their faces drastically changing. If that's the case, wouldn't that mean that they would be dragged into the demonic realm as well?
"So we need you guys to stop the Fiend Clans from destroying the Four Saint Pagoda!"
When that voice resounded, Mu Chen and the rest had sensed it and raised their heads. Thereafter, they saw a black and white pagoda standing at the boundary of light and darkness.
That pagoda only had four floors, but it gave off an unshakable feeling.
"Every single level of the pagoda is suppressing a Sky Monarch's soul fragment. Every time a Sky Monarch's soul fragment is released, it means that one of the four of us has been killed. The moment three Sky Monarch's soul fragments are released, the Four Saint Pagoda will crumble and the Sky Monarch's soul fragment will escape." The will's aged voice had turned solemn as he spoke.
"As long as you guys can protect two floors of the Four Saint Pagoda, you will be able to maintain the existence of the Four Saint Pagoda until they disappear."
"So the success or failure of this matter will depend on you guys."
Hearing those words, many experts had a grave expression on their faces. Clearly, they did not expect that the situation would be so cruel. They really had to fight to the death.
"As for the person who is able to protect the seal, we will hand over that person's inheritance to that person!"
When those words resounded, everyone's eyes flickered with greed. According to those words, the final victor would be able to obtain the inheritance of a Saint Heavenly Sovereign?!
Mu Chen deeply inhaled a mouthful of air. His eyes were filled with fire as he nodded towards the others and spoke in a soft voice.
"Prepare to move out."
For the Eight-Divisional Pagoda, he wasn't afraid of facing Xuan Luo, Mo Xin, or the Fiend Clans.
Wealth could tempt the hearts of others, and a Peerless Divine Ability could even make others risk their lives for it.
