Chapter 1258: Purification Abyss Gate (Second update, requesting everything)

Very quickly, the Great Sun Fire Crow circled and landed; the Abyss Gate stood just a few hundred meters away.

Just as Luo Qingning described, the Abyss Gate's volume was far greater than before, and it emitted an unusually rich black radiance; the open portal continuously spewed out Demonic Qi, rapidly increasing the concentration of Demonic Qi in the surroundings.

Within the massive amount of Demonic Qi, there was also a fair amount of Abyss Consciousness mixed in, though compared to the Demonic Qi, the quantity was relatively much smaller.

Even so, both of them were still suppressed.

Li Zhangsheng waved his hand, and the Gate of Light and Darkness flew out from his Consciousness Sea, instantly growing larger until it stopped at a height of one hundred meters.

In terms of volume, the Gate of Light and Darkness was not much smaller than the Abyss Gate before its promotion.

"Devour!"

Under Li Zhangsheng's control, the Hell Gate opened, aiming directly at the pillar of Demonic Qi spewing from the Abyss Gate, swallowing most of the Demonic Qi along with the Abyss Consciousness.

The next moment, the Gate of Heaven also opened, shooting a brilliant, multicolored beam of light directly at the Abyss Gate.

Boom—

The moment it was struck by the beam of light, the Abyss Gate swayed, and a crack several meters long appeared where the beam had hit.

"It's effective!"

Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen looked at each other, unable to help but reveal expressions of pleasant surprise.

If the Abyss Gate could truly be purified, it was foreseeable that the Heavenly Dao would bestow a large amount of Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi, and it might even be possible to directly become a so-called Child of Luck.

However, good things never come easy; in just an instant, the nearby Abyss Consciousness and Demonic Qi automatically surged into the crack, causing it to instantly recover as if it were new.

Li Zhangsheng tried several times, unwilling to give up, but every attempt ended in failure.

He realized that unless the nearby Abyss Consciousness and Demonic Qi were exhausted, it would be impossible to destroy the Abyss Gate.

Of course, if the attack power of the Gate of Heaven were to increase significantly, as long as the destruction speed exceeded the Abyss Gate's recovery speed, the Abyss Gate could be destroyed.

According to Li Zhangsheng's estimation, once the Gate of Heaven advanced further and was promoted to a Langhuan Supreme Treasure on its own, it might be possible to achieve this.

Other than that, the only option was to gradually purify the nearby Abyss Consciousness and Demonic Qi until it was completely purified.

After the experiment was finished, Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen discussed it, and they did not choose to leave, but instead continued to stay there.

Although the amount of Demonic Qi and Abyss Consciousness spewed by the Abyss Gate was greater than the Gate of Light and Darkness's swallowing and purification speed, the gap was not very large.

Most importantly, Li Zhangsheng used the Great Deduction Technique to carefully deduce the situation and faintly discovered an anomaly; as he expected, this Abyss Gate was not undergoing a normal promotion, but was consuming its origin to temporarily enter a state of promotion, and once the origin was consumed to a certain point, it would automatically stop due to a protection mechanism.

"Bizhen, let's purify with all our might!"

"Alright!"

The two made their decision; in Li Zhangsheng's view, as long as they continuously swallowed and purified the Abyss Consciousness and Demonic Qi, they could limit the Abyss Gate as much as possible.

Simply put, while the Abyss Gate could originally temporarily promote to allow a Demon Lord to pass through, under Li Zhangsheng's targeting, it would likely only allow a few Demon Commanders to pass, and a Demon Lord would likely find it difficult to cross.

In this way, Li Zhangsheng could keep the initiative in his own hands.

Additionally, Li Zhangsheng notified Luo Qingning, telling her to continue maintaining martial law in the Sky Fortress and be ready to lead the Monster Tamer Legion to support them at any time.

Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen began to purify the Abyss Consciousness in batches; because the Gate of Light and Darkness was not Ning Bizhen's Strange Treasure, even though Li Zhangsheng gave Ning Bizhen the maximum Authority, it was still half the work for double the effort.

Therefore, when Ning Bizhen operated it, the rate at which the concentration of nearby Abyss Consciousness and Demonic Qi rose was far greater than when Li Zhangsheng did.

Li Zhangsheng also tried to block the Abyss Gate, but the effect was minimal, and the efficiency was not as good as using the Gate of Light and Darkness to purify it.

The only method he could think of was to summon Light-element Demon Pets and have them cast Light-element skills to purify the nearby Demonic Qi.

As for the Abyss Consciousness, even Dagon expressed helplessness, as it could only increase the purification speed of the Demonic Qi, but it still had a certain effect overall.

The 175th layer of the Abyss was a Shui Shijie, only it was dotted with numerous islands, and its area was not much smaller than the Fairy World.

At this moment, on a large black island, numerous demons surrounded an Abyss Gate.

Among them, led by an octopus-like demon with a body size of a thousand meters, it was the Dagon Descendant, Demon Lord Andrew Bernama.

Below Bernama, there were over a hundred Demon Commanders of various races, as well as a demon army of a million.

"Lord, there is an anomaly with the Abyss Gate!"

A Demon Commander-level Flame Demon had been keeping an eye on the Abyss Gate, and upon discovering the anomaly, immediately reported it to Bernama.

"What is going on?"

Bernama's voice was full of anger, making the Demon Commander-level Flame Demon tremble with fear.

Demons were already temperamental, let alone a Sovereign like Bernama who controlled a layer of the Abyss. If one were unlucky, one might be killed on the spot.

The Demon Commander-level Flame Demon bit the bullet and said, "This subordinate does not know."

"Then why haven't you gone to investigate yet!"

If the other party were not his top general, the irritable and hot-tempered Bernama would have likely had his head severed long ago.

The Demon Commander-level Flame Demon was clearly relieved and hurried off to investigate the Abyss Gate.

Not long after, the results of the investigation were out.

"There are people on the other side who used some unknown method, causing the Abyss Gate's promotion to be delayed."

"Then send people in to stop them."

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, the Demon Commander-level Flame Demon immediately had a Demon Commander-level Six-Armed Snake Demon enter the Abyss Gate.

In an instant, the Six-Armed Snake Demon disappeared.

However, ten minutes passed, and no news came back; from beginning to end, the progress of the stuck Abyss Gate remained unresolved.

Faced with such a turn of events, the demon high-level officials present guessed that the Six-Armed Snake Demon was likely in grave danger.

Andrew Bernama's expression was very poor, and he shouted in a booming voice: "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you call a few more, and this time you will lead the team yourself."

"As you command!"

The Demon Commander-level Flame Demon's heart rose again; unknown dangers were the most terrifying.

This time, the Flame Demon called three more Demon Commanders; this was already the limit of what the Abyss Gate could bear at the moment.

Amidst a dizzying spin, four Demon Commanders appeared before Li Zhangsheng.

Before they could react, 365 Star Banners emerged from the void, and the surrounding scene instantly transformed, turning into the Fairy World of the Ancient Period.

However, the four Demon Commanders could still faintly sense the location of the Abyss Gate.

Yet at the very next moment, more than ten energy pillars, rays, orbs, and beams swarmed in from all directions; this astonishing energy aura made them feel utterly desperate.

"No!"

The four Demon Commanders only had time to let out a final scream before they were completely submerged by the energy, leaving no further sound.
