Chapter 342: A Road to Heaven, the True Demon Pill…

Almost at the same time—

On Taiqing Dian, in the Endless Abyss.

In the ink‑black darkness, Di Jin suddenly opened their eyes.

"Pfft!"

A mouthful of blood, spat into the darkness.

All around, scarlet giant eyes suddenly appeared!

And the owners of those eyes were the Endless Abyss's 'local specialty': Abyss Giants.

The bloody smell from Di Jin's vomit obviously woke these sleeping giants, and they arrived instantly!

This commotion had already caught True Monarch Yuanwu's attention; his expression shifted slightly, and he said, "Nine heads! What is the Young Lord doing, provoking them?"

When Di Jin descended into the abyss, they were in a seriously injured state, and he knew that as well.

But he had never been worried, after all, Abyss Giants usually slept, only waking to the scent of blood.

Logically, when Di Jin first went down injured, they hadn't provoked the Abyss Giants, so later it should be even less likely to pose this danger.

How could they keep going back while healing their wounds?

True Monarch Yuanwu was getting anxious!

We can't just sit and do nothing, can we?

But he truly couldn't go down; the only one who could descend, the Emperor Venerable, had been angered by the Young Lord into sealing himself away.

However, compared to his anxiety, Di Jin, standing at the danger's center, clearly didn't care about their situation at all.

He didn't even glance at the Abyss Giants around him, instead covering his chest and gazing up at the light‑less summit, whispering, "Li'er."

As True Monarch Yuanwu had expected, when he first came down he hadn't vomited blood, so now it's impossible for him to feel heart pain and vomit blood for no reason—there's only one possibility!

A Li was injured.

This realization made Di Jin unable to remain seated in meditation here.

He stood up!

Of course, the Abyss Giants also moved!

"Moo."

A dull roar accompanied a terrifying devouring power.

If it weren't for the pitch‑black Endless Abyss, one would surely see the Abyss Giants already gaping their bloody maws.

However—

"Get lost!"

Di Jin had no interest in playing with them.

The violent destructive power churned the Endless Abyss as if it were a rising tide, surging and swelling.

This caused, at the lowest layer of this dark world, a true giant monster to awaken.

A pair of blood‑colored giant eyes slowly opened; even in the lightless depths of the abyss, its presence was impossible to ignore, shining so brightly that True Monarch Yuanwu above could see it.

"It's over!"

True Monarch Yuanwu scratched his forehead.

Millions of years ago, before Di Jin's fall, scenes unfolded as if yesterday were repeating.

True Monarch Yuanwu's head already began to ache—how could he have forgotten!

Their Young Lord has always been a great demon!

He could never be honest!

The heaven‑destroying act he'd previously committed in the Three Pure Heavens was merely an appetizer.

"Emperor Venerable, what were you thinking, locking him in here?"

True Monarch Yuanwu almost wanted to cry; the other True Monarchs and Primordial Lords had just re‑entered seclusion, and now they were disturbed again.

"This is,"

"Was the Candle Monster awakened by the Young Lord?"

"The Young Lord really has a knack."

The old elders, laughing and crying, didn't know how to describe it.

"Don't just talk—does anyone go wake the Emperor Venerable?"

"With this commotion, the Emperor Venerable won't wake—who could wake them?"

True Monarch Yuanwu covered his face, saying, "Looks like the Young Lord is about to fall again."

Just brought back, he hadn't even lived a month, and no one knew if he could revive again.

At one moment, True Monarch Yuanwu felt that their Young Lord was nothing but a suicide‑seeking monster.

Although he had only fallen once…

But he had just come back, and now he's doing this again.

Interestingly—

The Divine Realm, right next to the Shen Clan's territory.

On that ancient continent lay the site of the Original Jade Sect.

Within the bottomless Endless Abyss, black mist suddenly surged forth in waves.

The first to notice the anomaly was Chi Mo, who guarded the West Demon Sea.

He rode his giant iron‑eating beast and was the first to arrive here.

Soon after, Shen Que also arrived.

One sturdy, one young, they stared at the black mist within the abyss.

"Where is this?"

Chi Mo doesn't know this place either.

Shen Que scratched his head; back when he was at the Bijade Sect, he was still especially small—and no, that's wrong!

"I remember now—it must be the Endless Abyss!"

That damn Zhao Yue used to want to throw A Li in here! He never came, but this must be the place!

"The Endless Abyss?" Chi Mo got a bit curious. "I'll go down and take a look; you go back and report this to the Sovereign."

"Can you do it?"

"You little brat, asking for a beating?"

Chi Mo seized his demon halberd, mounted his incredibly handsome, gigantic iron-eating beast, and leapt down.

Shen Que glanced a few times, thought this old demon also had some skill, didn't linger, and immediately returned to the Shen clan's territory.

Actually, the moment this place changed, Shen Kuo sensed it, but he couldn't leave; he had to stop his impulsive, rampaging daughter-in-law, right?

"Minglan,"

"Shut up!"

Zhong Minglan turned and executed a throat‑blocking strike, directly pressing Shen Kuo's slender neck against the wall.

She wasn't teasing anyone! With that glare, anyone who dared to block her—if it weren't Shen Kuo—would already be dead.

But even after she unleashed her killing move, Shen Kuo's hand wrapped around her waist remained like an iron arm, not loosening in the slightest.

"Let go of me!" Zhong Minglan's eyes were about to spit fire. "Little beauty is in danger! She's undergoing Nirvana!"

Shen Kuo's face turned deathly pale; he almost lost his sanity, but he couldn't. He grabbed Zhong Minglan's face, "I know she's in danger, but we can't help right now."

Moreover, we don't even know how to get to the Three Pure Heavens; we can't just blast a hole through and go. Let's wait a bit longer, we...

"Can't wait!" Zhong Minglan's eyes faintly reddened; she could sense it! Her little beauty has been in a life‑and‑death crisis ever since the Nirvana began, never resting.

This is a danger that even Nirvana couldn't get past.

Zhong Minglan couldn't even imagine what had happened to her little bird!

"I've already shed the last drop of my blood for the divine realm in my past years; even if I blast a hole through the divine realm, what would it matter?" As a mother, feeling her daughter's mortal danger, she couldn't stay calm.

"All right, I'll take you there." Shen Kuo stopped trying to dissuade her.

Zhong Minglan blinked, then heard Shen Que's voice from outside the house: "A Li's parents?"

"Come in." Shen Kuo had already sensed him a moment earlier, knowing he too had come for Shen Qingli.

Actually, that's not it. Shen Que came in and said, "The Endless Abyss at the Bijade Sect is spitting saliva—do you want to go check it out?"

"Spitting saliva?" Shen Kuo's expression froze...

Zhong Minglan frowned, "You didn't sense that something happened to A Li?"

"Something happened to A Li?" Shen Que scratched his head. "No, I think she's fine."

Shen Kuo breathed a sigh of relief. Shen Que is A Li's guardian beast; if something had happened to her, he wouldn't be like this.

"You say the Endless Abyss is spitting saliva?" Shen Kuo couldn't imagine how an abyss could spit saliva.

"Yeah, that old demon already went down, but it's strange—is that abyss really endless? I still haven't felt the bottom."

This is why Shen Que came back to report—he actually sensed a faint, almost imperceptible danger in that abyss.

Just then! As his words fell, that ancient continent shuddered violently! The tremor was so strong it startled the Shen clan side as well.

Even Shen Yuan shot up into the air, "What's happening?"

Naturally, it was——
