1290: guess

Whoosh!

As Wang Chen's figure stepped into the Abyssal Meteorite Abyss, a series of exhales echoed from the entrance.

Evidently, it wasn't just Old Devil Mu and the burly man's team; others also recognized Wang Chen's identity.

Before Wang Chen appeared, everyone present was wary of each other, and no one wanted to be the first to step into the Abyssal Meteorite Abyss and scout ahead for others.

However, after Wang Chen arrived, the atmosphere among them strangely eased considerably; even their gazes at each other held much less hostility.

"How can a Senior like Wang Senior also be interested in the treasures that might exist within the Abyssal Meteorite Abyss?"

A refined middle-aged man in a cyan long gown, with what seemed like brewing thunder in his eyes, looked at the figure disappearing into the Abyssal Meteorite Abyss entrance and spoke with some confusion.

He was He Yeming, a Grand Elder of the Divine Firmament Sect, a 12th Stage Early Stage cultivator with profound attainments in lightning magic.

"Isn't this normal? Everyone wants Heaven And Earth Treasure. The situation here on the Demon Disaster Frontline Battlefield is complex, formed by the convergence of fragments from many large worlds. Every treasure born here has an extremely powerful effect."

A short, stout man with bulging muscles interjected:

"But with Wang Senior's strength, if he comes, we definitely won't have a chance."

"In my opinion, we should just disperse."

This person was Ying Nanjiang, whose strength was equal to He Yeming's, but he was a Loose Cultivator by origin.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone around him felt a sting.

With their strength, they indeed had no way of competing with Wang Senior, but couldn't he have said it more tactfully?

"Everyone, isn't something amiss here?"

"Logically speaking, for a Senior like Wang Senior, there are few things in the world that could move him. This Fairy observed his demeanor just now; he clearly rushed here at high speed."

"It seems the item within the Abyssal Meteorite Abyss is extremely important to him."

At this moment, a woman in a purple palace dress spoke with a puzzled expression.

"Fairy Shao is right."

The burly man in Old Devil Mu's team echoed upon hearing this:

"Wang Senior's arrival seems to have a very clear purpose, but according to the information we received, whether the treasure in the killing array within the Abyssal Meteorite Abyss even exists is debatable, and there's no specific description of it."

This burly man was Yan Jinkun, whose strength was also at the 12th Stage.

He, the woman in the palace dress Shao Yueqiu, and He Yeming and Ying Nanjiang, were the strongest among those gathered here.

"Could Wang Senior be here for that chronal crystal?"

He Yeming suddenly thought of something and spoke with a somewhat shocked expression.

Throughout the entire Frontline Battlefield, Wang Xiaotu's search for the chronal crystal was widely known and no secret.

"Yes, it must be so."

Yan Jinkun nodded, his expression becoming incredibly solemn.

"The information we received is vague and unclear, yet Wang Senior's arrival has a clear objective, seemingly knowing what the item within the killing array in the Abyssal Meteorite Abyss is...

"

Everyone, this could very well be a trap!"

"We were drawn here, probably just to add some credibility for the mastermind."

He spoke slowly, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.

"Which fellow is so audacious as to dare to use us?"

Old Devil Mu let out a strange cry at this moment, his tone full of dissatisfaction.

"Naturally, it's someone hostile to Wang Senior. If you have the guts, you can go to their door and demand an explanation."

Seeing Old Devil Mu speak rashly again, Yan Jinkun snorted coldly.

"This..."

Upon hearing this, Old Devil Mu's expression became awkward.

He suddenly remembered that Wang Xiaotu's current apparent enemy was the Sun Moon Sword Sect, a super force firmly established as one of the Human Race's Ten Great Sects.

Go to their door and demand an explanation?

His small body would probably be cut into a human stick by Sword Qi in minutes.

It's better to run away quickly.

For a moment, Old Devil Mu's heart had already given rise to the idea of retreating, and most of the other 11th Stage cultivators felt the same.

However, the expressions on the faces of the several 12th Stage cultivators present showed obvious hesitation.

"Fellow Daoist Yan, if it's truly as you say, that this is an ambush specifically targeting Wang Senior, then a terrifying battle is likely to break out next."

He Yeming spoke, with a hint of yearning in his eyes.

For a 12th Stage Early Stage expert like him, further improving his cultivation was incredibly difficult. Every bit of cultivation growth not only required a large amount of resources but, more importantly, required enlightenment.

If he could witness a battle between top experts, the gains would be unimaginable.

Now that he knew this might be an ambush targeting Wang Senior, He Yeming was somewhat reluctant to leave.

Although the aftermath of a battle between top experts was very dangerous for him, compared to his own Dao, these dangers were not unacceptable.

"Indeed, if there is an ambush, those taking action will be at least 12th Stage Late Stage, or even Twelve-Order Peak Expert.

Ying Nanjiang nodded at this moment; he clearly saw what He Yeming was hesitating about.

"I'm going to watch. A life-and-death battle between top experts is rare to see in decades. If I miss it, I might regret it for the rest of my life."

Ying Nanjiang said frankly.

"That's right. If we don't even dare to watch, why bother wandering outside? We might as well return to the Sect and slowly wait for death."

Yan Jinkun also echoed.

And seeing that the three of them had made their decision, Shao Yueqiu, dressed in purple, did not speak, but she also had her own thoughts.

As for the 11th Stage cultivators like Old Devil Mu, none of the four asked for their opinions.

If they wanted to follow, they could; if not, they could leave.

They were confident in protecting themselves while watching, but an 11th Stage cultivator, if they got too close, wouldn't even know how they died.

With their decision made, the four walked into the Abyssal Meteorite Abyss together. Old Devil Mu and others wanted to follow but didn't dare, yet they didn't want to miss the potential battle, so they could only stay at the entrance, hoping to catch a glimpse from afar.

...

The terrain of the entire Abyssal Meteorite Abyss sloped downwards, with no end in sight.

As Wang Chen entered from the entrance, his feet had just touched the ground of the Abyssal Meteorite Abyss when a cold and vast aura surged from all directions, pressing upon his body.

This was precisely the Star Extinction Power that enveloped the entire Abyssal Meteorite Abyss—eerie, desolate, and desirous of annihilating everything.

In just an instant upon contact, Wang Chen's clothes visibly deteriorated.

Buzz buzz buzz!!

However, as he surged his power to repel the Star Extinction Power applied to his body, this change instantly halted.

"I need to allocate a portion of my strength to resist the Star Extinction Power. My strength here will probably be weakened by about ten percent."

Wang Chen calculated briefly, figuring out the impact of the surrounding environment on himself, then continued forward indifferently.

Even with only ninety percent of his strength remaining, he was still invincible at the 12th Stage.
