Chapter 401

Deep in the Abyss Demon Blood Cave.

Here, it is surrounded by layers of mountains, and strands of blood-colored mist shroud the void. As long as one is slightly far away, one cannot spy on it. Ordinary trial-takers simply cannot set foot here.

In fact, in the information of some elite geniuses and royal elite descendants, this area is all called the 'forbidden area', and even those with demigod strength cannot set foot here.

Similarly, the reason it is called a forbidden area is also because many rare treasures grow in this area.

At this moment, on the edge of the forbidden area, a large group of fierce beasts is besieging a team.

"Young Master, run quickly, these fierce beasts are too powerful." A golden-armored warrior holding a battle blade about ten meters tall shouted angrily: "Quick, block the other fierce beasts and carve out a bloody path for the Young Master."

He was ordered to bring nearly a hundred flight-level warriors to protect the master to participate in the Abyss Demon Blood Cave trial and strive to break into the final top ten.

He didn't expect to encounter such a catastrophe.

"Uncle Jiu!" The black-armored youth in the distance was furious; these close guards had accompanied him for decades and were specially selected by his father, being incomparably loyal.

He didn't expect that the 'forbidden area edge collection' mission, which was clearly not dangerous in the information, would lead to such a change.

Less than twenty flight-level guards were left.

It was only by relying on Uncle Jiu, who had broken through to become a 'demigod', that the team could persist until now.

But among the besieging fierce beasts, there were also demigod levels. Although the fierce beasts had low intelligence and did not practice star arts, they almost all grew entirely by bloodline, and in the same realm, they often belonged to the weakest existence, but their physical bodies were naturally strong... the key was that Uncle Jiu was also a demigod who had just broken through.

"How could so many fierce beasts come."

"Don't understand." These flight-level guards also felt wronged; the weakest of them were at the peak of flight, and they were all trying their best to create hope for the black-armored youth to escape.

"Just at this time!"

Swish!

The black-armored youth suddenly slashed his battle blade, the blade faintly flowing with fire-red light, directly slashing across the body of a fierce beast over thirty meters long.

Immediately, the fierce beast's huge body fell from mid-air, split into two halves, and blood and a large amount of organs flowed down.

The black-armored youth also took this opportunity to instantly flash hundreds of meters behind this fierce beast, seeing that he was about to rush out of the encirclement.

Suddenly.

"Boom!" The earth, which had been trembling due to the great battle, suddenly tore apart, and then a huge palm stretched out from the ground; this giant palm was also faintly surrounded by a large amount of blood-colored air currents.

The world seemed to dim.

"This is?" The black-armored youth was about to hit this giant palm head-on; his heart felt suffocated, and he involuntarily felt a sense of despair.

This is a state that only appears when the gap in life level is large to a certain extent.

"Blood Demon! It's the legendary Blood Demon! Blood Demon waking up? Finished!!" The black-armored youth was terrified in his heart, instantly remembering the mention in the information.

The Blood Demon is the strongest fierce beast in the Abyss Demon Blood Cave, usually waking up once every dozens of trials.

But once it wakes up, it is the nightmare of countless trial-takers.

Encountering it, almost certain death!

"Rumble~" This giant palm looked huge and slow, but in fact, its movement speed was extremely fast. As soon as it appeared, it swept past the black-armored youth, like a collision between a boulder and an egg, and the black-armored youth's body instantly exploded... dead beyond dead.

This scene made the golden-armored man who was still alive furious.

"Boom!"

That terrifying giant palm was like a blood-colored pillar, hundreds of feet high, and continued to slap down fiercely.

Heaven and earth collapsed.

... Not long after, the great battle ended, and the fierce beasts also quieted down, and that huge palm had returned to the underground.

Under the action of invisible heaven and earth power, the mountains and canyons that had been severely damaged and destroyed also gradually returned to their original appearance.

"A bunch of idiots."

"The master clearly warned the high-level officials of the Abyss Kingdom that this is a forbidden area and cannot be broken into... yet they still dare to come." An invisible thought extended from the depths of the forbidden area shrouded in blood mist to this area: "How many flight-level warriors have been killed in total?"

"Only less than 30,000 have been hunted. This time is an important trial for the Abyss Kingdom, and many big clan descendants and guards have come, many of whom became demigods as soon as they entered." Another powerful thought was transmitted from the ground.

"Therefore, the hunting speed is slow, and my children have suffered great losses, with many deaths and injuries. It will take quite some time to re-nurture them."

The two thoughts communicated.

"Trial?"

"Hmph! This is the 'Blood Food Land' established by the master, it's just that there is an agreement with the Abyss Kingdom Lord." The thought from the depths of the forbidden area transmitted: "Regardless of their trial, our mission is to monitor the array and slowly collect 'Life Essence' to prepare materials for the master to refine pills. The next handover time is near, launch a blood disaster."

"Also good."

"It has been more than ten years since the last blood disaster broke out. Launching one, the high-level officials of the Abyss Kingdom should have nothing to say." The thought from the ground responded.

These two thoughts were one of the forces hidden in the 'Abyss Demon Blood Cave'.

Inside a dim canyon of the Abyss Demon Blood Cave.

There are many cracks on the canyon floor, clearly having experienced a tragic battle. The demigod-level warship that was flying at high speed has slowed down after shaking off the pursuit of a large group of fierce beasts.

Li Li Li Yuan was still on the warship.

"What is your name? Why did you come to the Abyss Demon Blood Cave?" The silver-armored girl looked at Li Li Li Yuan, her voice pleasant.

Although she was kind, it didn't mean she was stupid, and she knew well that those who could come to the Abyss Demon Blood Cave would not be ordinary people.

Even on the Awakening Star Continent, ordinary people only grow to ten-plus levels when they reach adulthood... those who can become flight-level are actually already 'elites', and could have considerable achievements even in some small places.

"Your Highness, my name is Xu Li Li Yuan." Li Li Li Yuan casually made up a name and said somewhat helplessly: "I was caught and brought here unintentionally."

"Caught? That's really bad luck."

"No wonder you are only Level 34, and you actually ran to the inner domain. I'm afraid you aren't even familiar with various information." The silver-armored girl had a trace of pity in her clear eyes.

Li Li Li Yuan was speechless, inner domain?

For himself, there was no difference between this so-called outer domain and inner domain, it was just that there were fewer people in the inner domain, which could avoid many troublesome things.

Li Li Li Yuan naturally wouldn't explain too much; the more you say, the more you err.

The silver-armored girl shook her head and said: "The trial mission was originally voluntary. I don't know why, but since hundreds of years ago, it has been stipulated that 200,000 flight-level warriors must be gathered every year... those who are not enough will be caught in turns from each state..."

Li Li Li Yuan listened from the side.

According to the information he collected, the survival rate of the Abyss Demon Blood Cave is very low, and the 200,000 flight-level warriors gathered each time... less than 30% can survive and get out every year... over time, a large number of flight-level warriors in the Abyss Kingdom naturally don't want to participate.

This led to the catching, of course, it belongs to 'conscription' in name.

If they really have a certain background, as long as they reveal their identity, they won't belong to the conscription range.

"If it were just a simple trial to screen out cultivation geniuses, there would be many ways, but they insist on gathering a large number of flight-level warriors every year, and the death rate is astonishing." Li Li Li Yuan thought to himself: "This Abyss Demon Blood Cave is afraid it contains secrets."

An invisible huge array shrouded it.

Those strange fierce beasts... all explain the specialness of the Abyss Demon Blood Cave.

According to what Li Li Li Yuan knows, in the God Domain, some super powerhouses often set off crazy killings for the growth of certain special treasures, refining pills, powerful treasures, etc.

Slaughtering hundreds or thousands of planets at a time is the norm.

Like the 'Void God Soul Liquid' Li Li Li Yuan once used, it was refined using the souls of Void God powerhouses as raw materials...

"In short, being able to leave the Abyss Demon Blood Cave safely is good." Li Li Li Yuan thought to himself.

... In the eyes of Her Highness Zha Zha Jiang Xuan, Li Li Li Yuan is just an ordinary flight-level warrior with no background who was caught and brought here by bad luck.

"Your Highness."

The burly man named 'Uncle Guo' didn't need to steer the warship with all his might, and stepped forward and said in a low voice: "We have already shaken off the pursuit of the fierce beasts. These three people have unknown identities. For your safety, it's better to let them all go."

Her Highness Zha Zha Jiang Xuan didn't just save Li Li Li Yuan.

On the way to flee just now, she also saved two others.

"You two are both at the peak of flight, do you still want to explore the inner domain?" Her Highness Zha Zha Jiang Xuan looked at the two flight-level warriors behind.

The two flight-level warriors looked at each other and nodded: "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving us. We still want to impact the quota of the Black Abyss Guard, so we won't follow Your Highness."

If they followed the royal highness, it would seem safe, but I'm afraid it would be very difficult to get more fierce beast heads.

Whoosh! Whoosh! The two peak flight-level warriors turned into two streams of light and quickly left in another direction.

"What about you? Why don't you leave yet?" The burly man looked at Li Li Li Yuan, frowning slightly.

"Uncle Guo, let Xu Li Li Yuan follow us." The silver-armored girl said: "His strength is too weak, we haven't left the inner domain yet. If we let him leave now, he will encounter a group of fierce beasts at will, and I'm afraid he will definitely die."

"Your Highness, we still have to complete the mission, taking him will drag us down." The burly man said in a low voice: "Level 34, if he is lucky, he can leave the inner domain... didn't he explore to the inner domain alone before?"

With Li Li Li Yuan's strength, practicing the aura concealment technique, it is very difficult to completely hide the 'flight-level' life aura in front of other powerhouses.

But just hiding the life aura from Level 38.9 to Level 34, even ordinary demigods can't spy on it.

"Uncle Guo!"

"I don't want to push myself for this mission anymore." The silver-armored girl shook her head: "We will also return to the outer domain and wait for the trial to end directly."

"Don't want to push yourself?" The burly man was slightly surprised: "Your Highness, this trial is very important."

"Uncle Fang and Dong Li are estimated to have perished, I don't want you to have any more accidents. If you all die, even if I succeed in the trial, it won't have any meaning." The silver-armored girl's eyes were slightly red.

In her heart, Uncle Guo and Uncle Dong were like family, watching her grow up since she was a child.

"I don't want to push myself, even without this trial reward, relying on myself, I feel I can enter the 'Abyss Emperor Palace' to cultivate, at most a few years later." The silver-armored girl scanned the few people.

"Your Highness." The burly man was anxious.

He would rather die than let Her Highness complete the trial mission.

The several peak flight-level armored soldiers on the side also couldn't help but say: "Your Highness, we are willing to take the risk."

"I have made up my mind." The silver-armored girl said firmly.

The burly man sighed in his heart; he knew the silver-armored girl's personality, seemingly gentle and kind, but actually very stubborn in her bones.

"Fine."

"Set off, head to the outer domain, and wait for the blood cave gate to open." The burly man said in a low voice, then glanced at Li Li Li Yuan.

Lucky kid.

The burly man didn't care about Li Li Li Yuan either.

A Level 34 flight-level warrior can only be considered a mid-stage flight-level, posing no threat to Zha Zha Jiang Xuan, who is Level 36.

In terms of strength, Zha Zha Jiang Xuan belongs to the extremely strong among peak flight-level warriors.

Not to mention posing a threat to him, this newly promoted demigod.

In the burly man's view, since Her Highness is kind and wants to take him along, there is no need to make Her Highness unhappy; this is just a small matter.

Whoosh! The warship continued to move forward along the dim canyon, far away from the forbidden area, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed.

The burly man and those soldiers were clearly very familiar with the terrain.

Some human warriors encountered along the way fled far away just by seeing the warship... this level of warship clearly belonged to a big clan descendant coming for a trial.

As for fierce beasts? Any fierce beasts that dared to approach the warship, if there were many, would be easily killed by the burly man with demigod source power.

A demigod's long-range attack, although far inferior to melee, is also easy to kill ordinary flight-level fierce beasts.

If there were few, they would be given to Zha Zha Jiang Xuan to practice her hands instead; her sword technique power was quite astonishing, but her combat experience was clearly insufficient.

The group traveled through canyon after canyon, traveling more than ten thousand kilometers.

"Xu Li Li Yuan, according to the map, it's not far from the outer domain." Zha Zha Jiang Xuan said: "At that time, if you are willing, you can follow me until the trial ends. You were just caught and brought here, there is no need to participate in this kind of bloody fighting."

"Hmm." Li Li Li Yuan nodded; it was the same wherever he stayed.

After such a long time, Li Li Li Yuan also had some judgments in his heart. Zha Zha Jiang Xuan should be a genius of the Abyss Kingdom royal family, and her cultivation time should not be long. She has a certain status in the royal family, but she should not be the core of the royal family.

"Li Li Li Yuan, a large group of people is approaching, and there are demigods among them." Gu You's voice sounded in Li Li Li Yuan's mind.

"Hmm?" Li Li Li Yuan's heart moved.

Soon, at the other end of the canyon, a slight tremor suddenly came, and a void warship appeared in everyone's sight. Only then did they see that the warship was even larger, and there were dense figures standing on the deck of the warship.

"Quite a lot of people." Li Li Li Yuan's eyes narrowed: "At least they are all peak flight-level warriors, three demigods?"

Such a team was the most powerful team Li Li Li Yuan had seen in the Abyss Demon Blood Cave.

Li Li Li Yuan was not worried at all.

But the burly man and the other soldiers' expressions changed: "Not good, it's Zha Zha Jiang Lei's team, run quickly."

Zha Zha Jiang Xuan's expression also became solemn.

Whoosh! The burly man Uncle Guo steered the warship, and the warship's speed began to drop sharply, trying to fly in the opposite direction, but this required time.

At this time.

Boom! The other warship, which was extremely fast, suddenly began to accelerate, astonishingly fast, like a huge flame stream of light, quickly rushing toward Zha Zha Jiang Xuan's warship.

"So fast." The burly man's expression changed; this speed was faster than his speed when steering the warship with all his might.

Clearly, on the other warship, there was likely a demigod who had comprehended the true intent of wind.

Li Li Li Yuan was also quite surprised to see this scene.

Demigod-level warships are extremely astonishing in speed, even on the Awakening Star Continent, under the astonishing binding pressure, they can reach about four kilometers per second.

It should be known that on Blue Star, peak flight-level powerhouses can reach a flight speed of close to 3 kilometers/second, and demigod powerhouses can generally reach more than seven kilometers per second.

But on the Awakening Star Continent, peak flight-level powerhouses usually have a flight speed of less than 1 kilometer/second, which shows the strength of the binding pressure on the Awakening Star Continent.

In less than ten seconds, that huge warship had already blocked the path of Zha Zha Jiang Xuan's warship in the sky.

Rumble! Zha Zha Jiang Xuan's warship was forced to slow down.

"Haha, isn't this the noble Her Highness Zha Zha Jiang Xuan? Why do you look like a mouse seeing a cat when you see me, and want to flee?" This sneer sounded through source power, resounding in the canyon.

Clatter~ Only then did the armored soldiers on the deck of the huge warship disperse, and a youth also wearing silver armor walked out of the crowd. His face was demonic and handsome, and he wore a purple-gold hair crown, and his status seemed extremely high.

Beside him, except for these armored soldiers, there were three figures emitting powerful auras, each looking indifferent, looking down at Zha Zha Jiang Xuan and them.

"Zha Zha Jiang Lei, what do you want to do?" Zha Zha Jiang Xuan's expression changed, her face as cold as frost.

She didn't expect to encounter this rival.

"What could I dare to do to you? My respected Her Highness Zha Zha Jiang Xuan." The silver-armored youth revealed a trace of ferocity, his words filled with mockery: "Your father is a peak Void God powerhouse, and his fief is a whole state... oh, I almost forgot, your father died ten years ago."

"Hahaha, King Wushan has dozens of children, it seems you didn't get any wealth or treasures, coming to explore the Abyss Demon Blood Cave, and there is only one demigod-level guard by your side." The silver-armored youth's eyes were cold, his words filled with disdain.

"Zha Zha Jiang Lei!" The burly man Uncle Guo finally got angry and roared: "King Wushan is also someone you can discuss."

Daughter of King Wushan? A flash of surprise crossed Li Li Li Yuan's heart, and he couldn't help but look at Zha Zha Jiang Xuan.

According to the information he searched, the Void God royal family of the Abyss Kingdom is usually titled Marquis.

Royal family members who can be titled King are very rare, mostly extremely strong existences among Void Gods or those who have made great contributions.

If it is a Void God of a different surname, it is not easy to be titled Marquis.

"Get lost!"

"Zha Zha Jiang Xuan, is this how you teach your subordinates?" The silver-armored youth's face became cold, revealing a trace of killing intent: "It's just discussing and stating facts, not insulting, my father is Marquis Marquis Yingfeng, why, Zha Zha Jiang Xuan, your demigod servant also wants to convict me?"

"This kind of servant should be killed!" The silver-armored youth was murderous.

"Zha Zha Jiang Lei, it was my subordinate's fault, I apologize to you on his behalf." Zha Zha Jiang Xuan said decisively.

She knew Zha Zha Jiang Lei's ferocious personality.

If all three of her demigod guards were there, she wouldn't be afraid of him, but now only Uncle Guo was left, the situation was stronger than the person, so she bowed her head decisively.

"Your Highness, I would rather die than..." The burly man's eyes turned red.

"Shut up, Xu Guo, I have indulged you too much, you don't even listen to my orders?" Zha Zha Jiang Xuan had an angry look on her face and shouted sternly: "When we return to the capital, I will definitely punish you severely."

The burly man was stunned.

"Sneer!"

"Zha Zha Jiang Xuan, stop acting in front of me." Zha Zha Jiang Lei sneered, his eyes as cold as a poisonous snake: "Back then, you caught me and hung me on the Hundred Treasures Building for three days and three nights, causing me to lose all face... I will never forget it in my life."

"Today, it is my chance to wash away the shame." Zha Zha Jiang Lei stared at Zha Zha Jiang Xuan: "Your father is dead, in this Abyss Demon Blood Cave, your big brother can't save you either."

"Do you dare to kill me?" Zha Zha Jiang Xuan's expression turned cold again; she realized that it couldn't be settled well, so she naturally stopped pretending.

"Don't dare."

"I'm not stupid, you are a registered royal family member. If I kill you, once it is investigated, I will have to die too." Zha Zha Jiang Lei sneered: "But today, all these servants by your side must die!"

"Without these servants, if you die in the Abyss Demon Blood Cave, it won't be my fault."

"I also heard that you treat these servants like friends or even relatives, I think if they die, you will be very sad, hahaha!!" Zha Zha Jiang Lei laughed ferociously.

Zha Zha Jiang Xuan was incomparably angry, her small face flushed red.

Xu Guo and the several armored soldiers beside her also clenched the weapons in their hands.

Even if the strength gap was huge, they never thought of giving up the fight.

"Protect Her Highness."

The burly man Xu Guo transmitted: "Your Highness, once the battle breaks out, you must immediately drive the warship to escape, I will desperately entangle them."

"Uncle Guo." Zha Zha Jiang Xuan was anxious.

"Your Highness, your life is important, listen to me, you can't bet that this Zha Zha Jiang Lei doesn't dare to kill you, life can only be mastered in your own hands." Xu Guo shouted sternly, he didn't care about Li Li Li Yuan at all.

In this situation, who could still care about a mid-stage flight-level warrior?

"Seemingly still want to resist?" The silver-armored youth Zha Zha Jiang Lei sneered, suddenly shouting angrily: "All of you, go up, kill them! Remember, don't hurt Zha Zha Jiang Xuan, capture her alive."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"Kill!" The three demigods and more than sixty peak flight-level powerhouses beside him responded at the same time, immediately turning into streams of light and flying over.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The three demigods flew out of the warship, their momentum soaring to the sky, each holding an artifact, which was bestowed by Marquis Marquis Yingfeng and could exert extremely strong combat power, used to protect Zha Zha Jiang Lei.

Dozens of peak flight-level guards followed closely, and this momentum made Zha Zha Jiang Xuan, Xu Guo, and the others' expressions change.

Too strong.

Especially the black-robed old man at the head, whose aura was as scorching as a star, he directly waved the artifact scepter in his hand, and a sky-covering fire snake suddenly emerged around him, and fire snakes and fire dragons roared and pounced over.

"Law!!"

"This is a newly promoted demigod who has stepped into the threshold of the Law of Fire."

"Such a powerhouse, logically, should have become a demigod long ago, and is definitely a formidable figure. Marquis Marquis Yingfeng actually ordered him to protect Zha Zha Jiang Lei's trial mission?" Xu Guo's expression changed completely.

Both are newly promoted demigods, both are only Level 40, but comprehending the law and not comprehending the law is definitely a world of difference.

The black-robed old man alone was enough to sweep them away.

"Finished!"

"No!" The several armored soldiers beside Xu Guo also showed unwillingness on their faces, as well as a little fear.

Li Li Li Yuan, who was standing at the back, shook his head slightly: "I originally thought that following a royal highness would save a lot of combat trouble, and I wouldn't be conspicuous, but I didn't expect I still have to take action."

Boom!

Li Li Li Yuan, who was originally standing behind Zha Zha Jiang Xuan, with the weakest life aura and the most inconspicuous, suddenly burst out with incomparably terrifying aura. His body instantly turned ten meters tall, and then strands of earth-yellow air currents appeared out of thin air in the four directions of the void.

When the earth-yellow air currents descended, those flames and fire snakes in the void directly dissipated.

The entire canyon, within a radius of several kilometers, was completely plunged into surging earth-yellow air currents.

Nine yellow dragons emerged, swimming in this huge domain.

The whole world, at this moment, seemed to quiet down.

On Zha Zha Jiang Xuan's warship, Zha Zha Jiang Xuan and those armored soldiers were all unable to move. Xu Guo was incomparably shocked; he only felt his whole body as if carrying a mountain peak.

And under Zha Zha Jiang Lei's command, the dozens of peak flight-level powerhouses who had just rushed out of the warship were all completely suppressed, directly hovering in the void, and even their bodies were difficult to move.

The three demigods were completely suppressed, and wanting to induce true intent mysteries or law mysteries felt incomparably difficult.

"How is it possible!"

"We are demigods, and the second brother has already comprehended the law." The three demigods were terrified in their hearts.

In their view, the three of them joining forces and holding artifacts should be invincible in the Abyss Demon Blood Cave unless they encountered a blood disaster or a large group of demigod-level fierce beasts.

Just now, their attention had been on the demigod Xu Guo, and they hadn't noticed the black-armored youth who was only Level 34.

But now!

This inconspicuous youth actually burst out with such a terrifying domain, pure domain suppression, making them feel somewhat suffocated, and their flight speed dropped by more than 90%.

"What kind of domain is this?"

"Is he a demigod?"

"How could such a super expert come to protect Zha Zha Jiang Xuan?" These three demigods were panicked in their hearts; they knew that they had kicked an iron plate today.

"Mercy!"

"Senior, mercy." The three demigods were crazily transmitting, wanting to survive.

Li Li Li Yuan was very calm.

"Roar~" "Roar~" "Roar~" The swimming nine yellow dragons finally erupted, roaring and cutting through the sky, each bursting with strength close to a mid-stage demigod, strangling the dozens of peak flight-level powerhouses.

And those three demigod powerhouses were no better.

Even the black-robed old man with the strongest strength only resisted one more move before being directly torn apart by the nine yellow dragons.

Perished!

In less than three seconds, Zha Zha Jiang Lei's guard army was all slaughtered.

Even the ten-plus flight-level guards on the warship deck were all killed.

"Only you are left." Li Li Li Yuan looked at Zha Zha Jiang Lei, his seemingly indifferent eyes making Zha Zha Jiang Lei feel cold in his heart, giving rise to endless fear.

Zha Zha Jiang Lei had a feeling.

In the next second, he might be killed.

"Zha Zha Jiang Xuan." Li Li Li Yuan looked at the silver-armored girl who was shocked on the side and said indifferently: "Whether to kill him or not, you decide."
