CHAPTER 764 - 626: THE UNEXPECTED PERSON, CLEANING HOUSE!

"This is... the place where the Heavenly Vein Spirit Core appeared?"

After He Zhiqing used his Star Eyes to block the prying eyes of Nan Guoliu, Liang Yi and the others hastened through the long narrow valley and arrived at the mountain pillars that were supposed to be the border of the Secret Realm.

However, the pillars that served as the boundary were currently being entwined by a black dragon tornado, and any object that attempted to approach the pillars was ruthlessly blown away by the violent tornado.

The grass under their feet withered as thick fog rolled in, and the gale whipped up by the tornado made everyone's hair fly. Had Liang Yi and the others not witnessed it themselves, it would be difficult to imagine a place capable of gathering such dense Abyss Demon Qi.

Even just standing there, a chill of discomfort enveloped their entire bodies.

"Not only Abyss Demon Qi, but even the Spiritual Power here is terrifyingly dense!"

Su Youyi did a quick sense check and was surprised to find that although the place seemed to be full of Abyss Demon Qi, the richness of the Spiritual Power in the void was like being submerged in an ocean of Spiritual Power.

"It's not surprising. This place is not only a confluence of demonic energy from the entire Abyss Continent but naturally a gathering point of Spiritual Power as well."

Uncle Ju was not particularly surprised, as he had anticipated this situation.

"Is this black dragon tornado around the mountain pillar the self-protection of the Heavenly Vein Spirit Core?"

Liang Yi, shaking off the numbness in his right hand from a previous hit, forced a smile as he watched the Abyss-like black dragon tornado seemingly roar silently in warning at them.

They had just stepped out of the valley and hadn't had the chance to look around when they were unceremoniously slapped by a tail of the black dragon.

Had Liang Yi not reacted quickly to block with his hand, everyone present would have been put into an embarrassing situation due to the power of the Black Dragon's strike.

Once Liang Yi withstood the strike from the black dragon condensed from Abyss Demon Qi, a murderous glint flashed through Su Youyi's eyes, and she immediately retaliated with a slash of Sword Intent, not holding back at all.

But to everyone's surprise, even though Su Youyi's sword split the entire body of the black dragon in two, strands of black mist poured into the torn body of the dragon. In the blink of an eye, it was restored by the black storm behind it.

"It also has an Undying Body?"

The complexions of Liang Yi and the rest sank as they realized the intricacies of this black dragon.

It targeted only cultivators who tried to approach the pillar and its power was astoundingly strong, comparable to the blow of an early-stage Ninth Realm Body Cultivator.

Although this sudden surge of power didn't harm Liang Yi, the fact that it could numb his arm indicated that it was no common force.

Moreover, although this black dragon's defense wasn't particularly impressive, the inexhaustible Abyss Demon Qi behind it meant that it effectively possessed a characteristic of immortality.

By Liang Yi's estimate, while these black dragons only possessed brute force and did not use Daoist Skills or Laws, the addition of the non-death characteristic made them even more difficult to deal with than ordinary early-stage Ninth Realm cultivators.

The black dragon returned to the vicinity of the black storm and, along with other dragons, circled the storm after Liang Yi and others retreated back to the boundary between the valley and the pillar.

"After all, what exists here is the Heavenly Vein Spirit Core, one of the most essential cores of a world. Even though the Abyss Will is currently self-sealing, the world itself will subconsciously protect it."

Uncle Ju scratched his head as he explained.

"If this were the Mystical Mechanism Continent, this situation might not occur. When the Heavenly Vein Spirit Core emerges, it might even form one of the top blessed lands in the world. Unfortunately, this is the Abyss, where Abyss Demon Qi is much more violent than Spiritual Power, resulting in this mess."

"This is going to be a problem..."

Wan Tinggui frowned slightly as she surveyed the scene. A simple scan with her Divine Sense revealed not just one black dragon around the black tornado, but hundreds, even thousands—and new Abyss Black Dragons were being born every moment!

That meant if they wanted to break through, they would have to withstand the equivalent of hundreds or thousands of blows from Ninth Realm Body Cultivators in a mere instant. Just the thought of such a scene made Wan Tinggui's scalp tingle.

He Zhiqing also found it troubling to deal with such immortal creatures; he had no good solutions.

"These black dragons are not responding to the Heavenly Mechanism but are using the omnipresent Abyss Demon Qi here as their sense, making it useless to simply shield against the Heavenly Mechanism."

Pang Qingshi helplessly shook the Floating Life Bell on his wrist and shook his head to the others.

"The passage to the Heavenly Vein Spirit Core is right in the center of that tornado. We should be able to see it if we get inside."

Uncle Ju squinted his eyes, observed for a while, and finally confirmed.

"Forcing our way through is not impossible, but it would waste a lot of time."

Ke Mengzhan looked up at the countless black shapes gathering fiercely towards them and felt a bit of a headache.

"What if we expand our Domain to completely block out the Abyss Demon Qi from the Domain?"

Su Youyi's eyes flickered with Sword Intent for a moment. She realized that although she could overwhelm these black dragons with her power, eradicating them was not possible. However, she thought of another method.

"Their Law Domains are still in the early stages with many loopholes, and without Spiritual Power as a driving force, it is very difficult to use. But your Disruption Domain is different."

Uncle Ju contemplated for a moment then turned to Liang Yi.

"Indeed, that won't work..."
