Chapter 671: Suspected Light God Palace, Heading to the Abyss
In this regard, Jiang Chen has no experience, so following what Antares said should not be wrong.
Jiang Chen multitasks, merging a portion of his soul power into the Demon-Slaying Tower, entering the space that houses the seed of the Kunlun Snowgrass King.
The soul is far more perceptive than the naked eye, seeing far more detail; under the soul's direct observation, the Kunlun Snowgrass King's filigree becomes apparent, so the details are displayed clearly.
Jiang Chen clearly sees how the Kunlun Snowgrass King Absorbs Electric Element, then magically transforms it internally, turning the electric element into vibrant life, which finally merges into its body, sprouting tender leaves.
All the changes are like a splendid feast, extraordinarily spectacular.
Jiang Chen watches, becoming somewhat entranced, gradually sinking into it.
At the same time, another part of his soul consciousness begins to comprehend the Soul-Splitting Method. According to Antares's explanation, the most basic function of the Soul-Splitting Method is to split off a strand of soul.
Before reaching level 96, the driving law will be counter‑attacked by the law. This split strand of soul will bear the backlash in place of the main soul.
After this strand of soul is destroyed, it only inflicts a minor injury on the main body; as long as not too many such strands are split, the impact on the main soul will not be great.
And mastering the Soul-Splitting Method is not easy; the most crucial point is to focus one's mind on it.
After splitting off a soul, it is equivalent to simultaneously controlling two souls. The requirement for soul‑control ability is extremely high.
Precisely for this reason, Antares demands that Jiang Chen multitask.
While recreating the scenario to perceive the law, he also attempts to master the Soul-Splitting Method, which is immensely useful for mastering it.
Seeing Jiang Chen smoothly multitask, Antares is very satisfied and withdraws from Jiang Chen's soul space,
its dragon eyes flicker with an unusual light.
An individual's soul world is the most important realm, and Jiang Chen just now was willing
to release his soul world and let it enter, which is an unconditional trust in it.
For this, Antares felt joy.
The relationship between the two has seemingly progressed a step further than before, changing from friends to close confidants; even those bonds of life‑and‑death are no longer beyond this.
In the Prime Battlefield, thousands of kilometers from Fortress No. 9.
In the darkness here, green Flames rise, looking gloomy and terrifying.
Abyssal Aura churns here, and at the center of the darkness there seems to be a vortex, within which countless flames continuously swirl.
Occasionally terrifying roars echo from the darkness; even a timid person standing here would be scared stiff.
This is the Abyss Entrance, the connection point between the Prime Battlefield and the Abyss World.
Through this entrance, one can reach the Abyss World.
Near the Abyss Entrance, a multitude of Abyss Demons wander.
They occasionally rush toward the Prime Battlefield, then vanish within it.
From the vortex of the Abyss Entrance, Abyss Demons also sporadically burst out.
Several beams of light fly in from afar, illuminating the darkness.
Li Xueru and several Divine-level Strongmen arrive at the Abyss Entrance.
Where they go, their power sweeps over everything.
Shenlong Tower turns slightly, its body's runes flicker, emitting countless beams of light.
Each beam is like a sword, instantly piercing the Demon's body.
The Demon shatters amid a scream of agony, dead.
A multitude of Demons scream and flee in all directions; in the blink of an eye, the Demons near the Abyss Entrance are either dead or gone, not a single one left.
Li Xueru arrives forcefully, accompanied by Feng Tianzong.
Feng says: "Two days ago, a palace appeared here
It radiated Light Element, pure as jade, and killed many Demons upon its appearance."
"According to the information reported at the time, the palace resisted, but ultimately could not surpass the power of the demons."
Lao Hong happened to be at Fortress No. 8; upon hearing the news, he came over with Lao Yan, since the palace might be related to the God of Light.
"Then Lao Hong and Lao Yan vanished without a trace."
Li Xueru listens to Feng Tianzong's account, his brow slightly furrowed, as Shenlong Tower bursts with brilliant light, illuminating a hundred-mile radius.
Li Xueru uses Shenlong Tower to sense all surrounding auras, leaving no Spider Silk trace unnoticed.
At the same time Li Xueru says, "If it truly is the God of Light's palace, we must not let it fall into the Abyss's hands.
"In the limited records, the God of Light was an ally of the Human Race; when the Abyss Demons first descended, the God of Light bestowed grace upon us."
Many high‑ranking members of the Human Race are aware of certain matters concerning the God of Light. The God of Light once intervened to aid the Human Race; a debt of gratitude must be repaid.
A moment later, Shenlong Tower has finished surveying the surroundings.
Li Xueru says, "Lao Hong and Lao Yan's auras still linger; judging by the auras, they should have entered the Abyss.
Feng Tianzong's expression changes; entering the Abyss World is easy, but getting out is difficult.
Given the circumstances then, Lao Hong and Lao Yan had to go in; even if someone else were there, they might still have to enter.
Feng Tianzong looks indecisive, "What should we do now?"
Li Xueru ponders briefly, "I suspect the appearance of this Light God Palace is rather unusual."
The Light God Palace has been missing for nearly a thousand years; why does it suddenly appear?
And why does it suddenly show up here?!
Also, how did the Demon Emperor learn so quickly and take action…
There is something unusual inside.
Feng Tianzong trusts Li Xueru's judgment. In hindsight, it indeed seems off.
Everything is too coincidental; from the Light Temple's appearance to Lao Hong's arrival, only an hour passed.
Lao Hong arrived and from afar saw the Demon Emperor pull the palace into the Abyss, allowing Lao Hong to witness the scene and simultaneously feel the Light Temple's aura.
The whole process seemed as if someone had meticulously orchestrated it.
Du Anwen continued, "Now that it has come to this, I have no choice but to go into the Abyss to see what's going on."
Feng Tianzong's expression changed, "The Abyss is too dangerous."
Li Xueru shook his head, "I have the Shenlong Tower; only I can bring Lao Hong and Lao Yan back."
"You go prepare the army; if this is the Abyss Demon's plan, you must ready for a great battle."
Feng Tianzong's demeanor shifted, and he nodded, "Alright, Fortress No. 7 and Fortress No. 8 have already been placed under martial law."
Li Xueru shook his head, "Fortress No. 8 is insufficient; notify all fortresses, and if any problem arises, activate the Eternal Great Wall directly."
Feng Tianzong let out a startled cry, "Activate the Eternal Great Wall— is it really that serious?"
Li Xueru said, "I hope I'm overthinking; earlier I received news that the Abyss Demon and the Dragon Race have clashed."
"Now the Dragon Race is nowhere to be seen; I'm afraid those Dragon Race guys might take action." "Moreover, I sensed a trace of the Dragon Race here. It's not very strong, but finding the Dragon Race here is abnormal."
"Anyway, keep an eye on it; I'm just giving you a heads‑up."
Feng Tianzong understood naturally, "Alright, I will pay attention."
After speaking, he put away the Shenlong Tower and plunged headfirst into the Abyss vortex.
Feng Tianzong did not linger there; he returned to the stronghold directly via the Teleport Stone.
He followed Li Xueru's instructions and immediately notified all fortresses.
As a Divine General, and a serving Divine General within the army, his orders must be obeyed unconditionally by all soldiers.
Soon, each fortress reported back, already in combat‑ready status. The Teleportation Array lit up, and Ye Chen Shi arrived alone through teleportation.
"Xiao Xiu, what happened?"
Feng Tianzong wondered why Ye Chen Shi came over.
However, on the surface, Feng Tianzong still replied, "An Shen speculates that the Dragon Race may make a move; let's be prepared."
"Xiao An, where is he?"
"He went into the Abyss."
What! Ye Chen Shi's eyes widened; Li Xueru actually went into the Abyss. Feng Tianzong was about to speak when a shrill alarm suddenly blared.
The Demon‑watching Eye emitted a sky‑piercing Red Light; an enemy is invading!
