BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1045: The Desolate Abyss Domain
Feng Huang then asked Zhu Ling in a mocking tone. "Do you realize that you are so naive? Do you still believe that your dear advisor is really innocent?"
Zhu Ling did not say anything to refute Feng Huang, especially since Jing Shen had not said anything about the previous spirit emperor. "Did you get involved in my predecessor's disappearance? How did you do it? Is he still alive now?"
Zhu Ling's question made Jing Shen break out in a cold sweat, and he tried hard to cover his mouth. However, Long Tianhuo smirked slightly and stepped harder on his chest, causing him to scream in pain. "Argh! Yes! I did it! I was the one who caused the previous Spirit Emperor to disappear!
I used an artifact that Vadin gave me, and it could ignore his abilities, including sealing his cultivation. He's still alive, but he's not in the Netherworld Realm, and Hundun took him away to a place in the Supreme Realm called the Desolate Abyss Domain."
The spirit guardians turned furious after hearing Jing Shen's confession about their previous spirit emperor, but Zhu Ling immediately stopped them. In fact, Zhu Ling was also furious about Jing Shen's confession, but his emotions became unstable upon learning that his predecessor was still alive.
As Feng Huang said before, the existence of the spirit emperor was similar to that of the seer, and there could only be one of them in each era. "Do you know anything about the Desolate Abyss Domain?"
"Even though you are the spirit emperor, even if your cultivation has broken through to the three immortal realms, you will still never be able to enter that place." Zhu Ling and the spirit guardians looked at Long Tianhuo with frowns. "The Desolate Abyss Domain is the most dangerous place in the supreme realm, and if you insist on entering it, you will never be able to leave again.
I don't mean to brag, but I'm one of the strongest there, and few can match me. Even so, I was unable to face the evil aura and pressure from that place, and I almost lost control of myself. That's why I canceled my intention, and I never approached that place again. In fact, that domain is small; there is only a dark abyss there, but no one knows its depth."
"The desolate abyss?"
"Yeah." Long Tianhuo nodded to them. "Countless cultivators tried to explore it in the past, including some mythical beasts, but none of them returned, so we assumed that they were dead. I don't understand how your predecessor managed to survive there, but it's probably because Hundun used something to keep him alive."
"Do you think my predecessor is really still alive?" Zhu Ling once again inquired.
"Yeah." Long Tianhuo responded to his question with a soft sigh. "I don't know anything about your predecessor, but I know that the death of a special being like him will cause a catastrophe in the place where he died. However, the spirit of Void told me that she had checked almost all the realms, but she couldn't find any signs of his death, so we concluded that he was indeed still alive."
"I see." In fact, Zhu Ling himself had always suspected that his predecessor was still alive, especially since his life crystal was still shining despite being bleak.
"Senior, what do you mean by that evil aura?" Is there a creature living in the dark abyss?" Lei Zhong suddenly questioned Long Tianhuo.
Long Tianhuo sighed deeply. "Honestly, I do not know who owns that evil aura, but it came from the dark abyss, and I can tell you that no evil aura can surpass it."
"Is it true that none of the cultivators with cultivation in the three immortal realms can't resist that evil aura?"
"No one." Long Tianhuo answered Zhu Ling with a shake of his head. "If my guess is correct, the owner of the aura's cultivation might have already surpassed the three immortal realms."
"What?" Zhu Ling and the spirit guardians shouted in shock, especially since they knew that the three immortal realms were the pinnacle of cultivation, but now Long Tianhuo told them that there was a living being who could surpass that level.
Long Tianhuo was not surprised by their reaction, especially since he himself had never heard of the cultivation level beyond the three immortal realms. He was also shocked when Zhou Yu told him about Zhizun Buxiu.
"All right, you guys don't need to think about that, especially since your cultivation is still far from the three immortal realms." Zhu Ling and the spirit guardians smiled bitterly at that, and Long Tianhuo then looked at Jing Shen again. "Was the previous demon emperor also banished to the desolate abyss domain by Hundun?"
"Yes." Jing Shen answered with repeated nods. "Hundun's cultivation has reached the three immortal realms, but I don't know exactly what level his strength is at. That's why the previous demon emperor was not his opponent, and he helped Vadin eliminate him so he could take his place as the current demon emperor."
"What is Hundun's purpose in doing that?" Zhu Ling questioned his advisor.
'Fuck! Hundun and the others will definitely kill me!" Jing Shen cursed in his heart before answering Zhu Ling. "I only know that he and his three brothers want to rule over these upper realms, but I don't know for sure about their reasons.
However, I once heard that they encountered a powerful enemy in the supreme realms, and that person almost killed them, so they fled to these upper realms to hide while building up their strength."
"Oh?" Long Tianhuo was surprised to hear that, especially since he actually didn't know that Hundun and his three brothers had ever set foot in the supreme realm, especially since that place was really vast. "I think I know that person's identity, especially since he was also once a resident of these upper realms.
He was a maniac, and his name was Hu Shenyuan, a demihuman with the dark abyss tiger bloodline. Back then, he challenged all the beast cultivators, and he managed to defeat many of them, but I stopped him and beat him black and blue."
Zhu Ling turned to Long Tianhuo directly. "Who exactly is Hu Shenyuan? How could he fight those four evil mythical beasts?"
"Far in the past, the humans in these upper realms oppressed and enslaved the demihuman races, but two powerful warriors emerged among them, one of whom was Hu Shenyuan, and he liberated their races together with his brother, Long Yao.
My son-in-law met their descendants in the Burial Realm, and some of them are with him in this tower." Suddenly, Long Tianhuo's expression turned serious, as he also released his aura to deter Zhu Ling, causing the spirit emperor to feel a chill down his spine.
"Anyway, you should forget about your intention to capture my son-in-law and Luxuria, or I will kill these subordinates of yours on the spot, and I will also go to the spirit realm to slaughter all members of your race."
After Long Tianhuo's statement, Lei Zhong and the other spirit guardians subconsciously took a step back; even Zhu Ling himself was shocked by his threat, and he did not doubt that he would actually do it.
Feng Huang suddenly spoke to Zhu Ling. "You might be able to do something to Luxuria, especially since she is of the spirit race and you are her emperor. Unfortunately, you won't be able to do anything to my son-in-law, especially since he already has true immortal energy, and he still has many other advantages that other cultivators don't have.
Moreover, you already know about the three prophecies, all of which relate to him and his women, so you will only bring darkness to this universe if you insist on doing so, especially since I can see that he loves all of his women, and he will not hesitate to do anything to protect them.
If that happens, you will have to bear the lives of countless people, and you will become the enemy of all the residents of these upper realms."
"So Luxuria's decision to sacrifice Invidia really worked, huh?" Zhu Ling muttered in shock as he looked at Feng Huang and Long Tianhuo, and he didn't expect that Ling Yun would manage to obtain true immortal energy. "All right, I will stop chasing them, and I will bring Jing Shen back to the spirit realm to receive his punishment."
Lei Zhong and the spirit guardians were disappointed with Zhu Ling's decision, especially since Luxuria had broken their race's taboo by sacrificing Invidia for Ling Yun. Even so, none of them protested his decision, but Long Tianhuo suddenly crouched down beside Jing Shen and crippled his cultivation. "Argh! No!"
