Chapter 976: Chapter 603: Lord of the Ancient Abyss

Listening to Tian Ye’s smiling words, Xu Yuan subconsciously wanted to say something, but found that he seemed unable to utter a word.

His brain had crashed.

However, this time it wasn’t due to shock from changes in the world line, nor was it from fear of overwhelming power, but rather the massive influx of information implied by Emperor Bai’s appearance behind Qianji Gorge.

Xu Yuan had always been puzzled by one thing.

Why could such a remote place gather so many peak powerhouses?

It was bad luck on his part, stumbling into a Saint’s den, and Xu Yuan had no complaints about that, but there had to be a reason for these people to gather here, right?

And Emperor Bai’s emergence filled in the last missing piece of the puzzle in Xu Yuan’s mind.

In his heart, he now had a rough guess about what was happening inside Qianji Gorge.

But now was clearly not the time to ponder over this matter; he had to get past the BOSS in front of him with Tian Ye.

In "Cangyuan Chronicles," even limited by the expressiveness of 2.5D pixel style, the appearance of the Lord of the Ancient Abyss, Emperor Bai, still brought an immense sense of oppression.

Reinforcements from the Prime Minister’s Mansion had yet to arrive, and the cards in his hand were clearly not enough to bring to the table, let alone go all-in.

Tian Ye indeed was very strong, but the problem was that this enchantress’s output would soon run out of power.

After pondering for a while, Xu Yuan suddenly asked:

"Tian Ye, are you sure Emperor Bai is nearby?"

Tian Ye raised an eyebrow at the question, smiled ambiguously, and said:

"If I didn’t sense it wrong when that little dragon girl used the Dragon Seal to escape earlier, then the Lord of the Ancient Abyss is indeed nearby."

Xu Yuan’s brow furrowed deeply, his voice serious:

"Dragon Seal? I thought the Dragon Seal exists independently?"

Tian Ye glanced at Xu Yuan with some surprise and responded:

"It seems you only know what the Dragon Seal is, but not the reasoning behind it."

Saying that, she pointed at her chin and tilted her head as she chose her words, then with a smile, she explained:

"Um... the Dragon Seal does exist independently, but you can think of it like your current Communication Crystal, twin entities. Usually disconnected from each other, but when activated, it can cause fluctuations of the Energy Mechanism at both ends. And just now, I detected another Dragon Seal’s qi fluctuation nearby."

After hearing this, Xu Yuan no longer hesitated, and suddenly said to Tian Ye:

"Let’s retreat."

"...."

Tian Ye blinked, the playful smile on her lips froze, and after a moment of silence, she slightly opened her lips:

"Huh?"

"What? Do you have another plan?"

"My sword is still in the hands of those two below."

"Taking action now would give Emperor Bai an opening, let them keep that ghost blade for now."

"Tsk....."

Upon hearing this, Tian Ye pursed her lips, furrowed her brows, and turned her gaze away, her reluctance visibly etched on her face.

Xu Yuan tried to pull her, but she didn’t budge.

This scene made Xu Yuan feel a headache starting again.

Perhaps out of habit, he could guess what Tian Ye was thinking.

The moment the calamity in Enchantress Divine Illusion Realm was resolved, this enchantress had already paid off her responsibility to the Human Race, and now living for herself, she sought only pleasure.

Looking at the unyielding girl, Xu Yuan opened his mouth, trying to persuade her.

You’re practically Ultraman now, going to light up after a fight, do you really plan to stake Tianyan’s life against Emperor Bai if he comes?

But the words reached his lips, and Xu Yuan swallowed them back.

Because this enchantress wouldn’t listen to him at all.

Among all the women, even someone as decisive as the Wrapped Chest Princess would follow his command after he had made the advantages and disadvantages clear, but Tian Ye was different.

Reasoning with Tian Ye was useless; she only wanted pleasure.

Xu Yuan suspected that Tian Ye’s fondness for him wasn’t based on romantic affection but on seeking fun.

Because in the Enchantress Divine Illusion Realm, only he and Tianyan were "living people," and since Tian Ye didn’t fancy women like Li Junwu did, she had to cling to him.

Now that the pleasure-seeker had no more fun, her temper naturally flared.

If she’s not allowed to play, then no one should.

If she’s not happy, then you will pay the price here.

Unless you can offer her an even bigger pleasure.

With this thought in mind, Xu Yuan suddenly glanced at the collapsed Burial Dragon Valley,

Where a couple stood quietly in the valley.

Mu Xingyi and Lady Wan had not continued to fight, but neither had they any intention of leaving; they seemed to be waiting for that old bug to come over.

Xu Yuan’s gaze swept over Mu Xingyi, finally resting on Lady Wan, or rather, Lady Wan’s slightly bulging abdomen.

He stared at her and suddenly said softly to Tian Ye beside him:

"Let’s leave first, and I can find you even greater pleasure."

"Hmm?"

This time, Tian Ye responded, giving Xu Yuan a glance before noticing where his gaze fell, and the corners of her lips suddenly curled into a smile of ambiguous meaning, her golden pupils faintly sparkling with excitement.

Yet, no sooner had this trace of excitement arisen than Tian Ye extended her slender, delicate tongue to lick her red lips.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan’s heart sank sharply.

It seemed instinctive; seeing the enchantress make that expression, he inexplicably anticipated that something bad was about to happen.

And sure enough, after a single breath, Tian Ye slowly turned her gaze towards the dome:

"What a pity... Brother Changtian, you spoke just a tad too late, I’m already here~"

"..." Xu Yuan.

...

...

...

At first, it was merely a whirlwind that arose above the Sky Dome, inconspicuous.

But as the slight whirlwind rapidly expanded and the howling wind abruptly rose, ceaseless and uninterrupted, pressing towards the sandstorm below that was filled with yellow sand, a silent sense of a superior gaze naturally emerged in Xu Yuan’s heart.

He looked up instinctively,

and the huge vortex had already descended to the ground like a pillar supporting the sky, the blinding sandstorm scattered in an instant upon contact.

The center of the wind-eye, pure and free of any impurities, looking up through this channel, Xu Yuan saw the round sun of the Great Desert above the Sky Dome,

and,

a figure bathed in the crimson morning sun.

Upon locking eyes,

Xu Yuan felt as if he was facing a mountainous Dragon Head situated before him.

With the sun at its back, the dragon’s gaze was indifferent, looking down from above, its immense pressure enough to make one forget to breathe.

Under this despair-inducing stare, a fair, slender hand suddenly extended from behind him, a long index finger lightly touching atop the mountainous Dragon Head.

"Hum—"

The moment of contact,

the pressure dissipated, and the Dragon Head crumbled and broke apart like a bubble.

Clarity returned to his sight.

The previous sensation of suffocation unconsciously furrowed Xu Yuan’s brows even more, but he found that one wave had barely settled when another arose.

Everything around him seemed to have stopped.

The swirling dust, the pattern of the whirlwind, the fluttering of clothes.

He seemed to have entered a space where time stood still,

when time halts, all things come to a standstill.

Except for her beside him.

He could see her smiling gaze fixed on the figure above in the sky.

And he could see that figure quietly watching her.

An eternal moment.

The aura emanating from the two was so dazzling that one could not look directly.

In the silence,

Xu Yuan instinctively closed his eyes.

And when he opened his eyes again, time had returned to its normal flow.

The wind was wild as a waterfall, the yellow sand was still there, and everything before his eyes seemed like a dream that was almost too real.

The two stood in the void within the yellow sand.

Xu Yuan looked down at his slightly trembling hand, recalling the bizarre sensation of stillness just moments ago, and whispered to himself:

"Just now... what was that?"

Tian Ye extended her little hand with a smile and held his, feeling the tremor in it:

"One of my Dao Domains."

"What about Emperor Bai?"

"He obviously left."

"You didn’t fight?"

"If someone has come over, do you think he would leave without a fight?"

"But..."

Just as Xu Yuan was about to ask about the process, he suddenly noticed that the terrain of the valley below had changed.

The Yellow Sand Valley was no more, and where the cliffs had collapsed due to Mu Xingyi and his wife, a circular abyss had now taken its place.

In the lonely chasm, there were still faint traces of leaping Lightning Arcs.

Emperor Bai, with one strike, directly destroyed the landscape.
