Chapter 1756: Abyssal Jiusu, Blessing Holy Seal

~7 min read 1,373 words

Having obtained Taide's consent, Xia Duo followed behind them with confidence, attempting to discover something himself while these Divine Envoys tracked the Abyssal Aura.

It was just a pity that this Abyssal Aura was quite different from Holy Power; not only was it extremely secretive, but according to Taide, it would also quietly proliferate.

Once the Abyssal Aura infected something to a certain degree, it would mutate into an infected entity; what is called Abyssal Aura can also be termed Abyssal Aura, and different Abysses have different auras.

Tracking to beneath a nameless withered tree in the Boundless Wilderness, Taide said:

"If the war between the Kingdom of Radiance and the Eternal Night Abyss hadn't attracted a large number of demons, I wouldn't be so familiar with Abyssal Aura. What has appeared this time is the Dream Abyss."

"I previously heard Peiluo mention that another side of the Kingdom of Radiance is suffering from demon attacks. Why do those demons attack the Kingdom of Radiance?" Xia Duo finally had the opportunity to ask this question.

"Demons are chaotic by nature and are born enemies of my Lord. From the moment the first demon appeared outside my Lord's kingdom, the war has never ceased."

Within the Holy Light, the cold expression that had been on Taide's face was gone, replaced for the first time by emotions of anger and hatred.

This gave Xia Duo an extra layer of understanding regarding the Reality of the ecology of the Outer Planes. Although he had long wondered if the Lord of Radiance would clash with demons, hearing Taide mention it still left him feeling extremely shocked.

Thinking that the Princess is also an Order God, could the other party be suffering from demon attacks right now as well?

Or perhaps, the mutated hyenas here in the Daxia Homeland were just a ripple spreading from the great battlefield of the Kingdom of Radiance?

Xia Duo told Taide his doubts, but Taide said: "My Lord protects the entire Boundless Wilderness. Under normal circumstances, demons only appear from the side of the Kingdom of Radiance. As far as I know, that God of Exploration and Protection has not yet encountered a demon attack."

The Lord of Radiance protects the entire Boundless Wilderness?

Xia Duo subconsciously looked up at the sun in the distance. Although it had already tilted toward the horizon, it did indeed exist. Perhaps, just as Taide said, this was the range of influence of the Lord of Radiance's Divine Power.

"As for whether the infected entities appearing here are ripples spreading from the great battlefield, mortal, I think you should know that better than I do," Taide said pointedly.

Xia Duo thought about it, and his heart was suddenly startled. The other party's words were almost naming that the demons were targeting the Daxia Homeland. Just as he was about to continue questioning, Taide had already accelerated and flown forward, leaving behind only one sentence—

"There is a situation ahead!"

Xia Duo hurriedly followed. Just as he arrived at the front, he saw a giant sword manifest from the Holy Light, descending from the sky and plunging straight into the ground.

And below, those dozen or so mutated hyenas seemed stunned by this scene, not daring to move at all, allowing the giant sword to pass through their bodies, erupting with a strong holy aura.

Without a doubt, the dozen or so newly appeared mutated hyenas could not last a single round in the hands of Taide's Divine Envoy squad before being wiped out.

Although Xia Duo was shocked by the effect of the Holy Light Giant Sword, he also felt lingering fear at encountering mutated hyenas again. If he hadn't gone to the Kingdom of Radiance for help and had only wiped out the previous group, then next, he would either be exhausted from constantly running over to support Yalun and the others, or he would be too late to support them, and Yalun and the others would be wiped out.

……

Just at this moment, Tailun stopped, no longer continuing to track the Abyssal Aura, but instead turned to Xia Duo and said:

"Mortal, the Abyssal Aura ahead is becoming more and more intense. Next, you will encounter more cannon fodder, and even real demons. Do you still want to follow?"

"I do," Xia Duo said without hesitation.

He had already followed halfway; to quit now would be to abandon his efforts, even though he hadn't really done much work before.

"Divine Envoy Taide, let's continue forward!"

To this, Taide did not answer, but he tacitly accepted the fact that Xia Duo would continue to follow, turning and flying forward. Behind him, Xia Duo also increased his speed, quickly catching up.

At the same time, he also attempted to obtain more information from Taide, "Will those infected entities become infinitely stronger or infinitely divide?"

"Of course they will divide infinitely. As for whether they can become infinitely stronger, that depends on how you understand it."

As the tracked Abyssal Aura gradually increased, Taide realized that he might truly need Xia Duo to contribute later, and he was also willing to reveal more information about demons to Xia Duo:

"The strength of the infected entities themselves is somewhat limited, but when they become strong to a certain degree, they will turn into real demons. This is also the source of a considerable portion of demons."

Xia Duo was undoubtedly unable to accept this result, but Taide was unlikely to be lying; the fact was just so, and he had no choice but to accept it.

Only, in this way, wouldn't the number of demons be very difficult to control? Basically, as long as Abyssal Aura is continuously invested, they can keep being created.

It was endless.

"Then how can the Abyss be cleared?"

"It is very difficult!"

While tracking the Abyssal Aura, Taide explained to Xia Duo: "Currently, only my Lord has cleared an Abyss, and that was with the assistance of the Lord of the End of All Things and the Lady of Mysteries, only then was the Boundless Wilderness completely cleared."

"Boundless Wilderness?" Xia Duo couldn't help but widen his eyes, which showed his shock, "The place where we are now?"

"As you thought, this place was originally an Abyss. It was only after my Lord's Jiusu that it recovered to what it is now."

Taide's matter-of-fact attitude left Xia Duo unable to say a word of doubt, but the fact that the Boundless Wilderness was previously an Abyss truly exceeded Xia Duo's expectations.

Even with his wild imagination, he could never have thought that the predecessor of the Kingdom of Radiance was actually an Abyss. It really was true; every sentence exchanged with Taide could yield some secrets difficult to obtain on the Main Plane.

……

Next, Xia Duo also sensed abnormalities in the environment. Besides the traces left by the passing of the mutated hyenas, there even appeared some inexplicable whispers.

It was just like when he heard the calls of Yalun and the others on the Main Plane; they were sometimes far and sometimes near, with unclear content. But the calls of Yalun and the others did not make him feel troubled, whereas these chaotic whispers, produced because the Abyssal Aura was intense to a certain degree, made him feel agitated.

Even with the 【Mind Barrier】 applied, he could not be completely exempt. Using the 【Demon-Slaying Amulet】 from the Main Plane in this situation might not have even the slightest effect.

"Mortal, you may need to assist in the battle ahead. I need to bestow a blessing upon you."

Xia Duo let out a long sigh of relief in his heart. He had been hesitating about how to bring it up, so he hurriedly said: "I will trouble you, Divine Envoy Taide."

Taide's blessing existed in the form of a Holy Seal. When the Holy Seal appeared on the back of Xia Duo's left hand, those annoying whispers Xia Duo had been hearing vanished without a trace.

At the same time, Taide also reminded him: "When the Holy Seal fades, you must leave immediately. At that time, I may not be able to look after you."

"I understand, let's continue forward!"
