Chapter 1406

For over a month, the ancient Lord of Laws had been calculating the strength comparison between both sides, silently sensing the Will of the Supreme Deity high above.

Purely from the Will of the Supreme Deity, one could certainly not sense the Supreme Deity's true power.

But one could still observe certain things.

Once every ten thousand years, there was only one opportunity; through these repeated opportunities, the ancient Lord of Laws had sensed vast amounts of information, and after consolidating it, he could deepen his understanding of the Supreme Deity.

Of course, what the ancient Lord of Laws most wanted to know was Lin Yan's strength.

Yet since Lin Yan had descended in his true form, he dared only cautiously sense the faint traces of aura leaking from Lin Yan, fearing he might alarm Lin Yan.

"So many gods have borrowed power—even vast amounts capable of fighting the Demon Lord Sovereign—how much power could Flame Lord, a newly ascended Supreme Deity, possibly lend?"

The ancient Lord of Laws thought of another point.

Lin Yan lending power to the gods of the Heavenly Realm—this move, the ancient Lord of Laws felt, was not a wise one.

Though it might relate to Lin Yan's strategy, such as not wanting too many gods of the Heavenly Realm to perish and cause its decline, yet…

Lending such immense power to tens of thousands of gods—how much power would Flame Lord himself retain?

"Perhaps the Abyssal Supreme Deity has refrained from intervening for this very reason."

Thought the ancient Lord of Laws.

"If too many Demon Lords have perished, even if the Abyssal Supreme Deity now enters the Heavenly Realm to fight, he will face little suppression—when will the Abyssal Supreme Deity move?"

Thought the ancient Lord of Laws again.

For some purpose, the ancient Lord of Laws genuinely hoped Lin Yan would emerge victorious.

Because Lin Yan's philosophy was advantageous to these Lords of Laws.

The Lords of Laws were not fools.

They could deduce Lin Yan's philosophy from his actions—that he wished for the Heavenly Realm to truly flourish.

For the Heavenly Realm to flourish, the quantity and quality of its gods were crucial.

And once the Heavenly Realm achieved true flourishing, their own opportunity would arrive.

"The Abyssal Supreme Deity is probably coming."

The ancient Lord of Laws, sensing the growing strength of Abyssal Law above the Stone Bastion, thought.

Too many Abyssal Demon Lords had died.

As for the Demon Army, it continued to surge forth endlessly.

Who knew how many demons the Abyss held?

The more demons and Demon Lords died, the more Abyssal aura and Law were carried into the Heavenly Realm.

By the same logic, if the Heavenly Realm wished to attack the Abyss, to avoid suppression by Abyssal Law, it would surely need to strengthen Heavenly Law within the Abyss to achieve balance.

But the Abyss chose an extreme method—directly using the lives of demons and Demon Lords as fuel.

Now, the Laws of the two worlds had reached a certain balance.

Based on this, the ancient Lord of Laws deduced—the Abyssal Supreme Deity was about to move!

No sooner had this thought crossed the ancient Lord of Laws' mind than his expression changed sharply.

For he felt—an unsettling sensation emerging from the passage leading to the Heavenly Realm!

His eyelids twitched.

His heartbeat inexplicably quickened.

"This unease—could the Abyssal Supreme Deity be ascending?"

The ancient Lord of Laws pressed his hand to his chest and said.

The Abyss was filled with evil.

And the Abyssal Supreme Deity was evil within evil—the very embodiment of ultimate evil.

When the Abyssal Supreme Deity descended in his true form, even ordinary mortals, merely glancing across infinite distances, would be corrupted by evil and become wandering spirits or other Abyssal beings.

Even gods, if they touched even a trace of the Abyssal Supreme Deity's aura, would be tainted!

"They've come!"

At that moment, the Will of the Goddess of Life vibrated beside Lin Yan's Wang Zuo!

"Yes, they've come!"

The Will of the Goddess of the Sea also vibrated.

"What are you waiting for? Put on the Heart of the Sea—otherwise, you won't have another chance!"

The Will of the Goddess of the Sea added.

Lin Yan had not worn the Heart of the Sea.

Hearing this, he took it out and placed it against his body.

The liquid armor formed by the Heart of the Sea immediately adhered to the innermost layer of his clothing, touching his skin.

A faint, sweet fragrance drifted forth.

It was the scent emanating from the Heart of the Sea—pleasant, making Lin Yan feel as if he were inhaling the Goddess of the Sea herself.

Even as a great battle loomed, the thought that the Goddess of the Sea had once worn it daily stirred faint, distracting thoughts in Lin Yan.

Beside him, the Will of the Goddess of the Sea remained motionless, her intentions unknown.

When Lin Yan had donned the Heart of the Sea, movement finally stirred within the passage.

A being of staggering greatness stepped forth in one mighty stride—from the Dark Abyss, stepping directly into the Heavenly Realm.

"Boom!"

Space trembled.

The trembling of space seemed to carry the aura of that great being with it.

Instantly, whether Heavenly Realm gods or Abyssal Demon Lords, all involuntarily shuddered.

Even the intense battles underway halted simultaneously.

Some heavenly deities gazed across billions of miles toward the other side of the Heavenly Chasm.

When their gazes swept toward a certain region, their eyes were suddenly pierced with pain, and tears fell.

These heavenly deities quickly averted their eyes, each filled with shock!

"The Abyss Lord has arrived!"

One heavenly deity cried out!

"Boom!"

At that moment, space trembled again.

This tremor was felt clearly even across the Separated by the Heavenly Realm.

"The second!"

One heavenly deity shrieked.

In a short time, two Abyss Lords ascended to the Heavenly Realm!

"My heavens, the war ten thousand years ago only saw minor clashes between the wills of Lords—no Abyss Lord ever ascended to the Heavenly Realm, yet now two come at once!"

A third-tier heavenly deity shouted.

"Two? I feel it's not over yet!"

Another heavenly deity said.

As if confirming his words, the Heavenly Chasm trembled again immediately.

Countless demons surging forth were shaken into dust by the tremor!

Abyss Lords, unlike Lin Yan, did not suppress their aura—they had no intention of doing so.

Under the pressure of a Lord's might, weaker beings nearby had only one path: death!

"Th… three now!"

One deity spoke, dazed.

These deities knew, at least vaguely, that some Abyss Lord would come to confront the Flame Lord—but they never expected three to arrive at once.

Meanwhile, the hidden Law Lords at the Law Lord tier remained utterly still; they had anticipated this, and now they waited, to see whether the Abyss would send four or five Lords.

"Don't fear—the Stone Bastion also has three Lords; three against three, we won't be outmatched."

One deity said.

Yet his thoughts were noble, but reality delivered him a brutal slap.

For shortly after the third Abyss Lord ascended to the Heavenly Realm, space trembled once more.

Then, in the perception of countless heavenly deities, another utterly unseeable, terrifying lifeform appeared on the other side of the Heavenly Chasm!

The fourth Abyss Lord!
