Chapter 268: Chapter 268 Abyss Trial

Seeing Lin Yi arriving safely, a cold glint suddenly flashed within the depths of Xue Wuya’s pupils.

This kid must have made it alive; the Duan Wuji he had sent to intercept and kill Lin Yi was probably dead.

This fellow had managed to unscathed wipe out a Ninth Level True Master.

It seemed that only if he personally took action could he resolve this matter with the kid.

If that was the case, he could only let this kid silently be buried within the Dark Abyss.

"Chen Feng, as the First Saint General, you really put on quite a show, making so many of us wait in this godforsaken place for a full two hours."

Shangguan Xinyan looked at Lin Yi with a smile that was not quite a smile.

"To have made the Holy Daughter’s body of gold wait so long for me truly is my sin."

Sincerity and apology surfaced on Lin Yi’s face, and he immediately produced a bow and handed it over to Shangguan Xinyan.

"This is a treasure I found in the Doomsday Volcano."

"Now, I present it to the Holy Daughter as a gift of apology."

Shangguan Xinyan extended her delicate Jade Hand and took the treasure bow from Lin Yi’s hands, then slightly smiled and said, "It seems you are genuinely apologizing. How could I, as the Holy Daughter, continue to blame you?"

On the side, Xue Wuya’s fingernails had deeply embedded in his flesh, and his eyes seemed ready to shoot out flames.

He recognized it; this was Duan Wuji’s bow.

And now Lin Yi was presenting Duan Wuji’s weapon as a gift to Shangguan Xinyan, which was practically slapping his face.

"Oh my,"

Just then, Lin Yi suddenly looked towards Xue Wuya, as if he had just remembered something, "I only remembered to apologize to the Holy Daughter, but I forgot to prepare an apology gift for the Holy Son."

"But given the Holy Son’s magnanimity, he wouldn’t mind such a trivial matter, right?"

Xue Wuya was shaking with anger, but he was not a fool; on the surface, he maintained his composure and said coldly, "A mere Ghost Level treasure bow is not something I would even consider."

However, within Xue Wuya’s heart, the desire to eliminate Lin Yi grew even more intense.

"Let’s go,"

Shangguan Xinyan waved her hand, saying, "We’ve wasted so much time; we should enter the Dark Abyss now."

"Right, Great Elder?"

After speaking, Shangguan Xinyan looked towards a Blood-clothed Elder, who was none other than the Great Elder of the Blood God Sect.

"What the Holy Daughter said is very true."

The Great Elder nodded. "The time limit for the trial in the Dark Abyss is only one month."

"After a month, everyone must gather to leave the Dark Abyss."

Seeing this, Lin Yi’s face showed a trace of surprise, "The Great Elder is also going in with us?"

"Of course, otherwise what am I here for?"

The Great Elder just glanced at Lin Yi, "There exist many powerful Evil Beasts in the Dark Abyss, which, having long been affected by the Abyss’s demonic power, have an extremely frenzied nature."

"Even on the outer layer, there may still be Evil Beasts beyond Fourth-rank. If you encounter beasts of that level, I fear that even if you are highly gifted, it would be difficult to handle."

"My purpose in coming here is to ensure your safety; all of you are seeds for the future of the Divine Sect, and nothing can go wrong."

Having said that, he walked to the entrance of the Dark Abyss, with a Blood-colored Talisman appearing in his hand.

Activating the True Yuan and urging the Blood-colored Talisman, a beam of blood-colored light suddenly shot out from the talisman and immersed itself in the Barrier.

The barrier of the Blood Empress dissipated on the spot, replaced by endless darkness.

Heaven and earth seemed to be shrouded in black, without a single glimmer of light.

At the entrance, there was a narrow stone staircase leading to the depths of the Abyss.

After entering the Dark Abyss, everyone suddenly felt an oppressive force. Here, one could only rely on their Divine Sense to probe their surroundings, and the range of perception was compressed to a mere few tens of meters.

Nearly an hour later, after traversing the long staircase, Lin Yi finally sensed a dense forest of stone. In this stone forest, there were some plant beings that thrived in the darkness.

At that moment, the Great Elder, who was leading the way, suddenly spoke, "This is the outermost layer of the Dark Abyss."

"This will also be your main area of activity for what’s to come."

"The Divine Sect has currently explored three layers of the Dark Abyss."

"However, with your strength, you’re not yet qualified to enter the second layer. If you rashly step into the second layer, it would undoubtedly be a life-and-death situation."

As the Great Elder’s words ended, the disciples of the Blood God Sect also nodded in agreement.

The second layer of the Dark Abyss was an absolute death zone for these disciples; almost everyone took the Great Elder’s warning to heart—except for Lin Yi.

When the Heavenly Nether King had sent him into the Dark Abyss, it was to find the whereabouts of the Blood Demon Venerable.

If the Blood Demon Venerable was really imprisoned by the Blood Empress, how could he possibly be in the outermost layer of the Dark Abyss?

More likely, he would be in the second layer, or even the third.

"Roar!"

Just as Lin Yi’s thoughts were surging.

A deafening roar from a beast suddenly came from afar.

Out from that dark stone forest emerged a black boar, covered in sharp spikes, with a massive body several zhang long, charging straight towards the disciples of the Blood God Sect.

This black boar’s demonic power had reached the Fourth-rank level.

However, the Great Elder of the Blood God Sect revealed a look of indifference. He simply slapped his hand forward, and a blood-colored palm print suddenly pierced through the void, slamming down on the black boar’s head.

With a loud bang.

The black boar’s head was instantly crushed like a burst watermelon.

Brain matter splattered everywhere.

A Fourth Rank Late Stage Evil Beast was just slain by the Great Elder with a single palm.

It died a thorough death.

The Great Elder merely glanced at the dead boar on the ground, and then turned to the disciples of the Blood God Sect, saying, "This Fourth Rank Evil Beast is probably one of the closest to the King Level within the first layer of the Dark Abyss."

"The content of your trial this time is to hunt the Evil Beasts within the Dark Abyss."

"The more Evil Beasts you hunt and the higher their level, the more Merit Points you can obtain."

"Once you return to the Divine Sect, these Merit Points can be exchanged for Cultivation Resources."

"Now, begin the trial!"

As soon as the Great Elder finished speaking, Xue Wuya and Shangguan Xinyan, the two Saint Heir and Holy Daughter, suddenly dashed out!

Xue Wuya glanced at Shangguan Xinyan and said, "Xin Yan, since we have come to the Dark Abyss today, how about you and I each lead half a troop of soldiers and have a competition?"

"Of course, we can."

Shangguan Xinyan nodded her head in agreement, "But a competition without stakes would be utterly uninteresting, wouldn’t it?"

"Indeed."

Xue Wuya smiled and said, "Then let’s wager half of our Merit Points as the prize for the competition. How do you feel about that?"

"No problem."

Shangguan Xinyan nodded lightly.

After that, the two groups of disciples immediately split up and went their separate ways.
