Chapter 343: Chapter 233 Millennia-Long Blood Battle

The Abyss opened up, and instantly over ten extraordinary individuals who didn’t react in time fell into it.

The pitch-black bottomless abyss erupted with a mighty roar, like a living giant mouth of the abyss, devouring the surging vitality.

Painful screams echoed from the dark vortex, desperate cries before death, fleeting and quickly fading into silence, sending chills down one’s spine.

"Who?!"

Several experts avoided falling into the Abyss in time, spreading their perceptions to find the attacking enemy, but found nothing, as the surroundings were empty.

A bald man with a centipede tattoo on his head threw a pumpkin bomb, which exploded into a series of pale yellow detection waves. As the waves spread, Zhou Yuan and her two companions, hidden several kilometers away in the Shadow Pool, were clearly revealed.

—— Because of Jiang Wuming’s presence, Zhou Yuan kept a certain distance from the enemy. Beyond this distance, Jiang Wuming’s curse couldn’t reach, allowing them to kill the enemy. Otherwise, they would have to deal with Jiang Wuming first before killing anyone else.

"Over there!"

Without needing a reminder, everyone immediately launched their attacks upon discovering them.

Facing the incoming projectiles, Zhou Yuan moved her mind. Dark matter surged like a flood, raising a towering wave that engulfed all the projectiles and then surged unstoppably towards the remnants.

"Let me handle this!" A woman launched a blazing light sphere, which, upon entering the dark wave, shattered the dark matter immediately, forming a fifty-meter diameter radiant field that dispelled all darkness.

"Even a 7th-level was killed. We can’t win by force; find a chance to escape." Someone used spiritual energy to convey a voice, hovering in their minds.

"That kind of skill should only be usable once within a short period. He can’t use it now, or we’d already be dead." Someone responded.

"Let’s run for now, staying alive is more important."

The group quickly reached a consensus: of all forty-two strategies, running was the best one.

The Evil Alliance, after all, was a loose alliance. When disaster struck, everyone fled individually, which was the norm.

"Mirror World Mist!"

Someone used Aoneng Power, releasing a cluster of crystalline mist, shining like ice crystals descending from the sky, reflecting a rainbow of colors under sunlight.

Upon closer inspection, the mist contained numerous crystalline particles, each reflecting a magnificent miniature world. These myriad mirror dust particles floating and intertwining in the air created a dazzling kaleidoscope, making people dazed and hallucinated.

Taking advantage of the Mirror World Mist trapping Zhou Yuan, a mage started chanting, lightning crackling and becoming more intense over his body. Initially, it was just tiny arcs, but it quickly grew into thick chains of electricity, whipping the air wildly.

Whoosh—

A powerful suction suddenly appeared, like a vacuum cleaner, sucking in all the Mist. A slowly rotating black sun emerged, deep and solemn, emitting infinite destruction and darkness.

"...Jia Ren!" The extraordinary person who cast the Mirror World Mist hadn’t anticipated his Aoneng Power being so quickly countered, immediately calling out to the chanting mage.

Zap, zap, zap, zap, zap!!!

The thunder energy enveloping Jia Ren had reached its limit. Countless electric chains writhed crazily, their aura akin to an erupting volcano, filled with uncontrollable frenzy and power.

"Silent Destruction Divine Thunder!"

Jia Ren shouted, releasing the thunderous power. Pale white lightning as vast as the sea struck from the sky, dazzling and throwing the entire space into a thunderous hell.

The white sea of lightning engulfed this place. Endless thunder burst forth, full of destructive power, shattering everything in its path.

"Now’s our chance, run!" Jia Ren tore open an ancient scroll exuding an archaic aura, his figure becoming ethereal and dim, as if erased from the air.

In the next moment, he appeared in a safe house in North America, escaping the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, but his body was riddled with severe wounds, blood flowing continuously. This was the damage caused by chaotic spatial currents, nearly costing him his life.

Jia Ren never thought his attack could kill Zhou Yuan, even though it was his strongest move. The purpose of that strike was merely to buy time for the ancient prohibited curse scroll brought from the abnormal world to take effect.

Although he nearly died due to the spatial transmission, he at least managed to save his own life in the end.

But others weren’t so lucky, being not decisive enough.

The power of the Silent Destruction Divine Thunder was indeed terrifying, but in the face of the Abyss that consumed everything, it was like a clay ox entering the sea, all devoured.

Sixteen black suns rotated, each holding the power of the Abyss, rapidly swallowing the sea of lightning.

Whoosh!

The black sun shot out, silently annihilating the heads of several experts. At the moment of their deaths, the gates to the Dark World opened, taking in their headless bodies.

This secret ground was soaked in the blood of Corpse Immortals; all dead would be resurrected as Blood Corpses. To avoid trouble, Zhou Yuan stored all the corpses, including the 7th-level extraordinary person she had killed with Divine Arts earlier.

All the bodies were transferred to the underworld of the Dark Plane, to see if they could be transformed into the Undead.

One person, with keen perception and quick reflexes, avoided the black sun’s strike. Scrambling, he pleaded, "Spare my life. I am willing to serve you and lead you to the main forces!"

He was answered by several black suns shooting forth, sealing off all escape routes and cutting off his vitality.

After storing the bodies in the Dark Plane, Zhou Yuan first collected the spoils of war, selling everything unusable.

Ye Wushuang observed the Chaotic Domain up close.

"This is the place where the three Quasi-Immortals fused with the Tao. Two of the Quasi-Immortals controlled extreme Yin and extreme Yang, each other’s mortal enemies. Even now, the Tao Rules continue to battle... Their thousand-year blood feud endures. I wonder what deep hate lies between them.

The Tao Rules of the third Quasi-Immortal acted as a bridge, calming disputes and harmonizing Yin and Yang, gradually balancing the two powers, evolving into the Chaotic Domain... This power seems familiar, maybe an old acquaintance."

Ye Wushuang paused. "The Chaotic Domain, documented in ancient texts as a supremely dire land, has appeared only twice in history. Every emergence claims the fall of a Quasi-Immortal.

A single misstep inside results in death and the end of one’s path. Even Quasi-Immortals would perish on a mishap. I’m not proficient in the ways of the domain, so I can only explore on-site. It’s extremely dangerous. Are you sure you want to enter?"

"No problem, I have a navigator."

For the Divine Fragment, Zhou Yuan gritted her teeth and upgraded the Eyes of Identification. Fortunately, she had dismantled Dancheng’s fragment treasury before, obtaining over a million Star Coins.

She spent a million Star Coins directly, elevating the Eyes of Identification to LV4!

[Wahoo, taking off! You made the right choice. Don’t worry, bro’s got your back, ensuring smooth passage through the Chaotic Domain, like coming home.

Currently 13 kilometers from the Divine Fragment.]

After leveling up, the Eyes of Identification could reveal more things. Now, if Zhou Yuan desired, extensive and detailed data could unfold before her eyes.

Abilities, attributes, personality, hobbies, past experiences, spirituality value, spiritual recovery rate, status, weaknesses, carried items, measurements, experience statistics... It was like a game NPC panel, fully visible.

She could even directly peek into someone’s past!

However, this ability consumed much energy and came with a warning: it wasn’t advised to use it on high-level or True God-level entities, as they could sense the gaze across the river of time, inviting trouble.

Unless... one’s own strength was robust enough.

"What would the Eyes of Identification see when upgraded to the highest LV5? Could they view the very essence of the Tao?" Zhou Yuan murmured to herself.

She shook her head, not wasting any more time, and led the two into the Chaotic Domain.
