Chapter 516: Abyssal Pollution

The great war in the Holy Domain arrived extremely quickly.

It seemed they knew the terror of the Abyss and understood that time absolutely could not be dragged out.

Without waiting for all the Sages to assemble, the Third Sage, together with the dozen or so Sages who had arrived a step earlier, struck out to bombard the Shadow Great World ahead.

In an instant, over a hundred Innate Supreme Treasures of Diji rank flashed between the stars.

The Third Sage even unleashed a black claw shadow.

That claw shadow actually carried a faint trace of Dark Catastrophe-level pollution power.

Clearly, its source came from at least a Forbidden Land of the half-step Dark Catastrophe level.

The light unleashed by these Sages seemed to have slowed the expansion speed of the Shadow Great World.

However, the very next instant after this exchange, the Sages who had attacked were all sweating profusely.

They could all feel the terrifying foundation of the Lord of Shadows avatar that was attacking.

And they could feel that even Diji were struggling to resist the gradual erosion of the Abyssal Power.

"Is this the horror of a Monarch-level existence in the Abyss?"

"Even if only an avatar came, one can sense that the existence behind it is likely above all known Dark Catastrophes!"

"No wonder it can hunt Dark Catastrophe Chaos and the Supreme Mother God!"

The Third Sage was equally shocked, after scanning the nearby peers with divine sense and obtaining their agreement.

This Third Sage sent a strand of divine sense into the Shadow Great World.

Hoping to be able to talk with the Lord of Shadows.

If possible, the Holy Domain was willing to bleed a little to trade for the Abyss not continuing its invasion this time.

However, the Third Sage soon received a response:

"You are worthy!"

This response made the Third Sage's face darken.

Following that, the Third Sage no longer held back and played out his trump cards one by one.

These trump cards erupted with astonishing momentum.

Some even exploded, revealing a strange Great World no less than the Shadow Great World.

Su Ping did not participate in this great war.

He only acted as a bystander, using the help of the Lord of Shadows avatar to watch the battle.

Watching the methods of the Sages, Su Ping was also quite envious.

This is the terrifying foundation accumulated over long years.

So many Innate Supreme Treasures of Diji rank, and those Forbidden Lands that had been refined and could be used briefly.

If all of this were his own foundation, that would be best.

The Lord of Shadows looked down on these methods.

It was a pity that she could only exert the power of one avatar at this time.

And because of the restrictions of the Abyss Challenge rules.

She, this Abyss Monarch, could not add even a little more strength.

She could only provide support as much as possible in terms of Divine Ability Secret Techniques.

In terms of technique and the quality of Divine Power, she used every bit of Abyssal Power to neutralize the various divine abilities and Dharma Power of the opposite side.

Relying on the god-like operation of the Lord of Shadows.

The Shadow Great World held out until the Second, Fourth, and other Great Sages arrived with their teams, yet it still could not be extinguished by the Dharma Sword.

This also made the various Great Sages feel a bit anxious.

They did not know that the Lord of Shadows was being restricted.

The more they fought, the more they suspected the Lord of Shadows was planning some incredible grand scheme.

That was why she only performed just enough resistance when facing them.

Later on, the King of Hell, that king of slacking off, was also forcibly summoned to come and help.

And by relying on several Sages to activate a Great World filled with lava together, they smashed it over.

Only then did they break through the Defense Barrier of the Shadow Great World and completely destroy the avatar of the Lord of Shadows, allowing Su Ping to obtain the reward for this Abyss Challenge.

However, the Sages who made this strike did not have it easy either.

And at the moment of the final strike, the Lord of Shadows realized that she could not resist with the power of the avatar, so she simply had the avatar perform a self-sacrifice in advance.

Letting it transform into a Shadow of the Abyss impact, she carried out Mental Pollution against the attackers.

Although the Lord of Shadows avatar was destroyed.

The Sages and the Sages all felt in unison that their shadows had developed a problem.

"It is not a curse or pollution brought by Abyssal Power."

"Although I don't know why, after that Lord of Shadows avatar disappeared, the Abyssal Power also dissipated along with it."

The Third Sage sighed, his divine sense scanned the Sages who had followed, his expression serious:

"What the other party left behind in the end was not a curse, but pure information."

"It is knowledge belonging to the Abyss!"

"Everyone! This seat believes you know the danger of the Abyss."

"You are all Sages who have attained Changsheng, you must not lead yourselves astray!"

After the Third Sage reminded them to this point, he said no more, as saying more would be useless.

Everyone was a Sage; those who understood, understood.

The Third Sage knew in his heart that the future of the Holy Domain would not remain calm and peaceful.

These Wise Ones would have to labor for a period of time, and only when the Saints present had all withstood the test of the temptation of Abyss knowledge would this matter truly end.

Confirmation that the Shadow Great World no longer had any hidden cards.

The Saints dispersed one after another.

This period of time was destined to be a restless one for the Holy Domain.

Just as the Third Sage and the others had thought.

Even for Saints, even for those who had long since attained Changsheng and were not affected by the great terror between life and death.

The instinctive desire and curiosity to further their strength.

Still caused the Saints who had obtained Abyss knowledge to use all sorts of methods to research it.

As for the results, some Saints perceived the danger within and retreated while they could.

Others, however, became mired in it, unable to extricate themselves.

They even wanted to actively contact the Abyss to obtain even more profound Abyss knowledge.

…………

The region where the Hell of Boundlessness was located.

The King of Hell suddenly furrowed his brows slightly.

Immediately, he ended his cultivation and flashed into the Hell Hall.

There, the King of Hell saw the Third Sage leading a team in person, appearing before him.

"To make such a grand display, for what purpose?"

The King of Hell was somewhat nervous, worried that his contact with the Salvation Lineage through one of his Avatars had been exposed.

Fortunately, the King of Hell soon learned the situation from the divine sense transmitted by the other party.

It turned out the target was the Guardian Envoy sent by the Holy Temple to guard certain forbidden objects here.

It had nothing to do with him, this slacking King of Hell.

The King of Hell felt relieved in his heart, and then, as the master of this place, naturally cooperated fully.

The problematic Guardian Envoy was also a Saint.

In terms of seniority, he was only two generations lower than the Wise Ones, so he could be considered a veteran.

That was why he could be entrusted with such an important task.

The region he was responsible for was in the depths of the Hell of Boundlessness, yet it formed a world of its own; even if the King of Hell did not actively enter, he could not observe the situation inside.

The King of Hell utilized his authority and arrived at the depths of the Hell of Boundlessness with the Third Sage and the others in an instant.

Looking at the large black sphere, the size of a Great World, floating in the hell space, the King of Hell looked toward the Third Sage.

And the Third Sage sighed as he looked at the black sphere:

"The situation I least wanted to see has happened after all."

"That the one who went wrong is a disciple I once taught... it is truly lamentable."

With a sigh, the Third Sage waved his hand and struck out a beam of black light.

The large black sphere immediately opened a black vortex, allowing everyone to enter smoothly.

The moment he entered, the King of Hell saw the scenery of the world inside the black sphere.

The ground and sky here were actually covered in blood-red flesh.

In the flesh in the sky, large eyeballs emitting purple light appeared in many places.

These eyeballs replaced the role of the Sun, shining purple light over the earth.

And on the flesh-covered earth, a large number of strange plants bathed in purple light were growing.

The stems and leaves of these plants also looked like they were composed of flesh.

Just a casual glance.

The King of Hell could feel information filled with corruption surging into his heart.

"It has lost control."

The Third Sage spoke:

"And it has failed."

"Even for a source object of the Dark Catastrophe level, it is impossible to use it for oneself by relying on Abyss knowledge alone."

"Right, Fallen Saint Ange?"

As the voice fell.

The sky vibrated, and the earth shook.

After a huge chasm split open in the earth.

A flesh giant a million meters tall crawled out from underground.

This flesh giant was also covered in eyeballs emitting purple light.

Its body was covered in a faint reddish-purple halo.

Seeing this flesh giant.

The King of Hell was somewhat surprised; he could tell that this Saint's realm was no different from his own anymore.

Both were existences only half a step away from crossing the threshold into the Dark Catastrophe.

But the King of Hell himself possessed the foundation of the Hell of Boundlessness to achieve this.

Yet the other party... just by relying on that Abyss knowledge combined with some special artifacts, achieved the same thing?

At this moment, while the King of Hell marveled at the Abyss, he also quietly looked at the Third Sage.

He secretly suspected that the Wise Ones were likely consciously indulging those Saints who were secretly researching Abyss knowledge.

The goal was clearly to see if they could use Abyss knowledge to advance further.

Now, naturally, I believe this path is impassable, and to avoid major problems that could affect the Holy Domain, I have come ahead of time to resolve it.

"Grandmaster!"

"My path is not wrong!"

"I just haven't obtained enough knowledge of the Abyss!"

"Yes, it must be like that, it's not enough yet, just a little bit more!"

"As long as you let me open the Gate of the Abyss... please rest assured, I will not summon an Abyss Monarch or a lord."

"I only need to come into contact with the Abyss Aura and feel the foundation within it to be enough to complete that final step."

The flesh giant argued loudly.

The Third Sage, however, shook his head in disappointment:

"Every fallen one says it like that."

"You have already been completely corrupted."

"Someone like you, once the Gate of the Abyss is opened, will only be transformed into a puppet of an Abyss Monarch at the very first moment."
