439: Beneath the abyss, the dragon altar!

Roar, roar, roar…

That Horned Dragon had already evolved into a black dragon, covered in black scales, which looked even harder.

It was filled with a strong and powerful water aura.

However, at this moment, it had no dragon majesty whatsoever.

Instead, it was roaring continuously, as if it had encountered some terrifying existence.

Its loud roars also seemed to acknowledge the crew's arrival, as if it was calling for help.

“Master, it says that an anomaly has occurred below, and the Azure Dragon Soul has lost its suppressive power and is about to devour it, taking over its body to be reborn.”

At this moment, Nine-tailed Red Fox quickly said to Guo Feng.

“Why can’t I understand what it’s saying?”

Guo Feng frowned, “It’s already level ninety!”

“Master, for monster beasts, mortal rank are beasts, and Immortal Rank are demons. Except for some special races, mortal rank cannot speak.”

Nine-tailed Red Fox quickly explained to Guo Feng.

“Oh.”

Guo Feng nodded, not delving deeper.

Instead, he asked, “What do you think is happening down here?”

“I speculate that when Haotian Nine Provinces collapsed, the guardian beasts fell, and Outland Demons invaded.”

“At that time, the sects and powerful individuals had not yet been destroyed for a period, and they made their utmost efforts within a thousand or ten thousand years.”

“For example, Xu Jing, he ultimately chose to seal Evil Demon King Ayanam with his own body.”

“At the same time, they might also have been collecting fragments of the divine beast souls.”

“This abyss below might be a place for nurturing the Azure Dragon Soul.”

“This Horned Dragon might have been chained by a powerful individual, using its dragon energy to nurture the Azure Dragon Soul, ultimately allowing the Azure Dragon to be reborn using its body.”

Nine-tailed Red Fox was knowledgeable and her speculation was very bold.

However, she changed her tone, “But, the Azure Dragon Soul fragments are insufficient. Using a Horned Dragon to nurture an Azure Dragon is almost impossible to succeed and will instead waste the Azure Dragon Soul.”

Roar, roar, roar…

At this moment, the black dragon also roared repeatedly, seemingly agreeing with Nine-tailed Red Fox’s words.

“What?”

Nine-tailed Red Fox was startled and quickly said to Guo Feng, “Master, the Horned Dragon says that the Azure Dragon Soul fragments below have been tainted with demonic energy and are being demonized. It begs crew to save it quickly.”

She added, “Master, the Azure Dragon Soul must not be demonized, otherwise, the ancient Azure Dragon Soul cannot be truly awakened, and the spatial cracks in Haotian Nine Provinces cannot be suppressed.”

“You mean, crew should go down and help the Azure Dragon Soul remove the demonic energy?”

Guo Feng was startled, then looked at Nine-tailed Red Fox.

“That’s the only way. Otherwise, once the Azure Dragon Soul is demonized, the consequences will be unimaginable.”

Nine-tailed Red Fox quickly said.

“Alright.”

Guo Feng nodded, and with a wave of his hand, “Then crew will go down and meet this Azure Dragon Soul.”

After he finished speaking, the two of them flew sharply downwards.

Both of them were enveloped in a layer of spiritual energy barrier, dispelling the miasma, demonic energy, and dragon energy in the abyss.

The further down they went, the denser the dragon energy, demonic energy, and miasma became.

Ordinary creatures simply could not survive here.

Those that could survive had already mutated.

Neither dragon nor demon.

The depth of the abyss indeed exceeded Guo Feng’s imagination. After descending about ten thousand meters, they followed the super-long chain on the Horned Dragon’s body and finally saw an altar at the bottom of the abyss.

Around the altar, there were a total of five identical chains.

Only the Horned Dragon’s chain still had life.

The other four were huge white bones, glowing with eerie phosphorescent light.

They looked strange and terrifying.

Around this altar, there were many white bones.

In the center of the altar was a towering green light, several tens of meters high.

It illuminated the entire bottom of the abyss with a ghostly green glow.

However, Guo Feng indeed saw that at the bottom of this abyss, there were many treasure chests, gems, spirit stones, and spiritual artifacts.

They were scattered everywhere, some piled up like small mountains.

Apparently, these were collected by this Horned Dragon, or the other four 'dragons' that had died, by killing and looting at the beginning of the shattered era.

“That’s not right, the Eastern Azure Dragon Soul should be full of the vitality of wood, but why does it feel so ghostly here?”

Nine-tailed Red Fox looked surprised.

Guo Feng smiled, “There’s only one possibility, and that is the Azure Dragon Soul was already demonized many years ago, not recently. The sudden outbreak today might be because the aura of the Evil Demon King from Beyond the Heavens stimulated it.”

“Altar, purify…”

Nine-tailed Red Fox was startled, “Oh no, this altar is not for the Azure Dragon Soul to be reborn by taking over a body, but to use the dragon power of the five Horned Dragons to help purify the Azure Dragon Soul.”

Roar, roar, roar…

As soon as her voice fell, a fierce roar suddenly came from above. The huge black Horned Dragon swooped down like a blanket, carrying a strong demonic aura.

At the same time, the four bone dragons, with their stark white bones, also let out roars.

They soared into the sky.

The aura of these four bone dragons was far above that of the black Horned Dragon, almost reaching Rank Ten!

Their entire bodies were also filled with a strong demonic aura.

As they moved, the entire bottom of the abyss emitted a terrifying wailing sound.

Clusters of demonic energy seemed to be sentient, letting out cackling laughter.

“Tens of thousands of years, finally humans have come down again. Kill them, devour their essence, and turn them into demons.”

“Seize their treasures and attract more humans!”

“Cackle, cackle, cackle…”

From the bodies of the five demonic dragons came the chilling voices of demonic spirits.

It turned out that although these dragons purified the demonic energy within the Azure Dragon Soul.

However, they themselves were devoured by the demonic energy.

Then, they killed many people who came to exterminate demons, strengthening their demonic energy, which in turn backfired on the Azure Dragon Soul.

After an unknown number of years of backlash.

The Azure Dragon Soul was even more demonized than before.

Fortunately, this altar was very powerful, and after tens of thousands of years, it still confined them.

As these demonic spirits and demonic dragons spoke, streaks of green and black demonic flames and demonic lightning rained down on them.

Extremely fierce!

“These demons are the most cunning and excel at disguise. They are simply too detestable!”

Nine-tailed Red Fox cursed as she instantly transformed into a giant Nine-tailed Fox.

Her nine tails spread out.

Immediately, she unleashed streaks of pink divine lightning, counterattacking the demonic flames and demonic lightning.

Power annihilated in the sky.

A deafening sound erupted, as if to tear apart heaven and earth.

And the inside of the abyss also vibrated violently.

The vast abyss ground developed cracks, and the splashing lightning, striking the ground, created huge craters.

“Phantom Spirits, kill!”

Guo Feng also did not hesitate, immediately summoning the ten Nine-Rank Ninth Layer Limit Phantom Spirits.

They rushed towards the five demonic dragons.

The black dragon’s strength was slightly weaker, but it also reached the combat power of Rank Nine.

Moreover, when they combined, any power they unleashed would be enhanced.

So, in just an instant.

Half of the Phantom Spirits were annihilated!

The entire abyss vibrated violently!

“This has gotten out of hand!”

Guo Feng frowned, feeling a bit anxious!
