Chapter 550: Do you believe me?

"Your Highness, do you really intend to hide in this Realm Abyss for a hundred years?" Xie Xu gave a cold laugh, his narrow fox eyes slightly lifting, sharply looking at Xie Ang, his tone full of undisguised mockery: "Within these hundred years, whether we can survive in the Realm Abyss remains unknown. Moreover, even if we luckily escape after a hundred years, Your Highness, do you think your position as Young Emperor will still be waiting for you? Will the Empress Mother not give you a few more considerate imperial younger brothers during these hundred years?"

A hundred years, though not long nor short, is enough to turn the seas into mulberry fields, to completely change many things.

Upon hearing this, Xie Ang's face instantly turned grim, a flicker of barely perceptible panic and unease flashing in his eyes.

The surrounding monster clan heavenly pride also heard the implied meaning in Xie Xu's words, their expressions varied. Most of them have people and matters they care about in the outside world; if they were truly trapped here for a hundred years.... the consequences would be unimaginable.

Just in this solemn atmosphere——

The heavenly pride suddenly keenly sensed that countless ferocious auras from the Abyss Beasts were rapidly approaching from all directions!

At the same time, the blood-colored hue above the canopy grew ever thicker, as if about to drip blood, pressing down so hard one could barely breathe.

"Now, the most important question is, how should we enter the core region?" Xie Xu's voice sounded again, breaking the silence.

His gaze, impartial, fell upon Yuan Yao and her companions, as well as Quan Li.

Before them lay a huge fissure, namely the so-called "Abyss Line".

From deep within the fissure, a faint yet powerful suction that made one's heart palpitate could be felt.

Anyone who tried to forcefully cross this "Abyss Line" would likely be instantly dragged by that invisible immense force and plunge into the bottomless depths.

Yuan Yao spoke up: "I have a way to let everyone enter the core region safely."

Upon hearing this, Cang Li and the others were all startled.

"What method do you have?" Cang Li asked in a lowered voice.

Yuan Yao met Cang Li's worried gaze, reached out and patted his shoulder, saying, "Believe me."

Hearing this, Cang Li took a deep breath, nodded slightly, and chose to believe.

Time waits for no one; the roars of the Abyss Beasts were already within arm's reach.

Yuan Yao said no more; with a single movement of her figure she leapt to the edge of the huge fissure, her robes fluttering slightly in the hunting yin wind.

She focused her mind and regulated her breath, her hands beginning to form seals along a profound and intricate trajectory.

Her fingertips flew, swift as illusions, as obscure runes flowed and condensed at her fingertips.

In an instant, a formation totem about a zhang in size, radiating brilliant golden light, hovered before her, the runes flashing.

Next, she raised one hand, palm up, as surging spiritual power gathered and compressed in her palm; a more solid and intricate totem seal gradually appeared on her palm, resonating with the formation above.

At this very moment!

"Roar——"

Earth-shaking howls poured from heaven to earth; countless Abyss Beasts of various forms and formidable strength came madly charging at the position of the three clans' heavenly pride!

Their eyes flashed with bloodthirsty red light, saliva dripped, and they exuded a nauseating stench.

"Here they come!"

The three clans' heavenly pride's faces changed drastically; not daring to delay, they each employed their methods, magical treasures' spiritual light shooting into the air, the sounds of blades being drawn never ceasing, quickly forming a defensive formation as they desperately resisted the first wave of impact.

For a moment, the clashing of treasures, beast roars, and angry shouts intertwined, the scene chaotic and perilous.

"How much longer?!" Quan Li's face was frosty as she watched the relentlessly approaching Abyss Beasts and the already strained defensive line; her patience exhausted, her eyes sharp as blades, she fixed her gaze on Yuan Yao's unmoving back.

Just as her words fell——

"Hum——hum——hum——"

In an instant, centered on Yuan Yao, on the ground at the edge of the Abyss Line, countless golden formation totems identical to the one before her sprang up like bamboo shoots after rain!

They shone with boundless light, illuminating this dark area as if it were daytime; immediately, these scattered totems, at a speed visible to the naked eye, linked together via the glowing golden lines on the ground, forming a massive composite formation that enveloped the entire edge of the Abyss Line!

At the moment the formation activated, a vast and mighty formation wave spread outward.

In the gaps while resisting the Abyss Beasts, the heavenly pride caught sight of this sudden astonishing scene in their peripheral vision; all underwent drastic changes in expression, their hearts surging with tremendous shock.

What kind of formation is this?!

And then they saw Yuan Yao push with her jade hand; in an instant, that golden formation totem shot forward!

What shocked them was that this formation totem did not dissipate due to the powerful suction from the depths below; instead, it continued to extend forward until it reached the opposite cliff edge.

Meanwhile, all the connected formations surged with golden light, turning into a flowing golden stream that continually rushed toward the opposite cliff!

Until it formed what seemed like a substantive formation totem!

Yuan Yao turned her head to glance at the heavenly pride, then decisively stepped forward, foot after foot upon the formation totem.

In just a moment, she had already reached the opposite cliff edge.

Seeing this, Qian Yunzhou moved.

Ying Wuji and the others closely followed.

Yuan Yao did not speak to explain anything; instead, she chose the simplest method to make them believe in her.

Because facts speak louder than words.

And seeing this, Yu Jing immediately summoned all the human heavenly pride to go over.

Quan Li, seeing this, made a swift decision and said: "Go!"

And the monster clan's Young Prince, Xie Ang, his expression shifting, also gave the order: "We'll go over!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Xu curled his lip in disdain.

And those Abyss Beasts, seeing this, instantly erupted with a powerful suppressive force, seeking to keep them here!

Moreover, some of the more intelligent Abyss Beasts attacked the formation that spanned the entire huge fissure, seemingly intending to cut off their retreat.

Quan Li gripped a huge bone sword; with one strike she sent several Abyss Beasts flying, then in a flash she had already passed through the formation totem to reach the opposite cliff edge.

"Ah——" At this moment, several monster and demon clan members were mangled by the Abyss Beasts beyond recognition, and some heavenly pride even lost their lives.

Yuan Yao witnessed this scene, her eyes deepening slightly.

Suddenly, at that moment, Yuan Yao felt a tightness in her chest, a chill down her spine, as if she were being stared at by a terrifying pair of eyes.

She slowly turned her head, yet saw nothing.

Her hand was suddenly grasped by a warm hand, snapping her back to awareness; she lifted her gaze and met the concerned eyes of her own Second Senior Sister.

Your hand is cold.

Yuan Yao was just about to say something, when a voice from the 250 System suddenly sounded in her sea of consciousness: 【Ding! The system has detected that the female lead Lu Xiangxiang has successfully escaped the Jieyuan Realm! Please, host, leave the Jieyuan Realm as soon as possible and complete the capture mission!】

【Current capture mission completion progress is less than 89%.】

【Please, host, complete the mission of capturing fifty million target individuals within five years.】
