Dan Ling's screams echoed at the bottom of the abyss, as if they could penetrate one's Soul. It was a sound of extreme pain and fear, like the wailing of a ghost, making people's hair stand on end.
Dan Ling struggled desperately under the Tiantian Daowen's Devour. Its body twisted, as if trying to break free from this terrifying restraint. However, no matter how hard it tried, it could not escape the Tiantian Daowen's Devour.
Lu Qingyang's Nascent Soul Avatar was like a hungry giant beast, opening its gaping maw and ruthlessly devouring Dan Ling's energy. As the Devour progressed, the bronze fate fragments around the Nascent Soul Avatar began to glow with dazzling light, like brilliant stars in the night sky, beautiful beyond compare.
At the same time, Su Meiniang's nine tails were still tightly wrapped around the rampaging Zhong Ling. The Burning Sky Flame on the nine tails burned fiercely, gradually eroding Zhong Ling's power of resistance. Zhong Ling let out roars under the scorching flames, but its strength was gradually weakening.
Su Meiniang's beautiful eyes gazed at Lu Qingyang, a complex expression in them. There was both worry for Lu Qingyang's safety and admiration for his strength. This man always displayed astonishing abilities at critical moments, bringing unexpected surprises, or rather, shocks.
Leng Yuehan stood to the side. She controlled 120,000 ice crystals, freezing the gushing Chaos essence into a huge ice coffin. However, this action obviously consumed a great deal of her energy. Her face turned ashen, and her aura was somewhat disordered. Despite this, her gaze never left Lu Qingyang, her eyes full of concern, but she dared not step forward to disturb him, fearing it would affect Lu Qingyang's Devour process.
As Dan Ling's energy was completely devoured, the light of the Heaven Gate Array Diagram gradually dimmed, and finally disappeared completely. Lu Qingyang's Nascent Soul Avatar also returned to its normal size. He slowly opened his eyes, let out a breath of turbid Qi, his face slightly pale.
"It's finally resolved," Lu Qingyang murmured with relief, his voice revealing an unconcealed weariness. It was as if he had just experienced a long and arduous battle, and now he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
He slowly turned his head, his gaze falling on Su Meiniang. Su Meiniang's lips curled into a smile, like a spring flower blooming, a smile that was both gentle and graceful, with a hint of charm. She softly said, "Little Lord is too kind. It is my honor to be able to help Little Lord with my meager Dao cultivation."
Lu Qingyang's lips also curved into a faint smile. He shook his head with a laugh, seemingly dismissive of Su Meiniang's humility. Then, his gaze turned to Leng Yuehan, and he asked with concern, "Fairy Leng, are you alright?"
Leng Yuehan's face was a little pale. She shook her head slightly, forcing out a smile, and said, "I'm fine, just a little exhausted." However, the smile seemed a bit forced, making people worry about her condition.
Seeing this, Lu Qingyang nodded, indicating he was relieved. Then, his gaze was drawn to the ice coffin. The ice coffin sat there quietly, emitting wisps of cold Qi, as if endless secrets and Treasure Troves were hidden within. A glimmer flashed in Lu Qingyang's eyes, and he muttered to himself, "This Chaos essence, it's a good thing..."
Just as he was about to step forward to examine the mysterious ice coffin, suddenly, a violent tremor came from the bottom of the abyss. This tremor was like an earthquake, making people unable to stand steadily. Immediately after, a terrifying pressure gushed out from the Guixu rift. That pressure was like an overwhelming tide, as if it was going to tear the entire world apart.
"Oh no! The Guixu is about to collapse!" Su Meiniang's face changed drastically, and she exclaimed.
"Let's go!" Lu Qingyang made a decisive decision. He grabbed Su Meiniang and Leng Yuehan's hands, transformed into a streak of light, and shot towards the top of the abyss.
The moment they left, the Guixu rift completely collapsed, and terrifying Chaos power swept over, devouring everything.
...
After escaping from the Guixu, the three fell like meteors onto a deserted island. "We finally escaped." Lu Qingyang felt lingering fear, like someone who had survived a catastrophe. The thrilling scene just now was still vivid in his mind. If he had reacted even a little slower, the three of them would have probably been swallowed by the Guixu, turned into dust, and disappeared without a trace. "Yes, thanks to Daoist Lu, who was like a bright lamp in the darkness, guiding us." Leng Yuehan felt lingering fear, and her gaze towards Lu Qingyang was full of gratitude, like the deep, vast starry sky. "Little Lord, I..." Su Meiniang hesitated to speak. She wanted to ask Lu Qingyang about Dan Ling, but it was as if an invisible hand was clutching her throat. Thousands of words, she didn't know where to start. "You want to ask about Dan Ling, right?" Lu Qingyang saw through Su Meiniang's thoughts at a glance. The corners of his mouth curved slightly, like a gentle breeze in spring, softly caressing his face, and he said with a smile.
Su Meiniang nodded lightly, curious light flashing in her beautiful eyes, like brilliant stars in the night sky, shining brightly: "That Dan Ling... what exactly is it?"
Lu Qingyang pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke, his voice deep and magnetic, as if telling an ancient and mysterious legend: "That Dan Ling is actually the remnant Soul of an Alchemist in the Heaven Gate Legacy. He was trapped in the Star Tribulation Pill Embryo, like a giant Dragon sleeping for a thousand years, sleeping until just now when he was awakened..." He told Su Meiniang and Leng Yuehan about Dan Ling's origin and his transaction with Dan Ling without reservation.
"So that's how it is." Su Meiniang suddenly understood, and the doubts in her heart instantly dissipated. No wonder Dan Ling said she was a traitor to Qingqiu; it turned out to be because she Cultivated the Burning Sky Flame. Leng Yuehan, on the other hand, was astonished. She never expected that such an earth-shattering secret was hidden within the seemingly ordinary Star Tribulation Pill Embryo.
"So, you've already taken control of the Heaven Gate Array Diagram?" Leng Yuehan asked.
Lu Qingyang nodded: "That's right, I've already refined the Heaven Gate Array Diagram."
"Then..." Leng Yuehan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can you take us to the Heaven Gate Legacy?"
Lu Qingyang looked at Leng Yuehan, a complex expression flashing in his eyes. He knew Leng Yuehan's purpose for wanting to go to the Heaven Gate Legacy was to find the Guanghan Palace Legacy.
"Yes." Lu Qingyang nodded, agreeing to Leng Yuehan's request, but then changed the subject, saying meaningfully, "However, the Heaven Gate Legacy is extremely dangerous. Once you enter, life and death are up to fate. You must think it through."
