85: Chapter 85 Your master isn't around, right?
"How much longer until we arrive?"
"Professor Meng Feier, we are only a few hundred kilometers from the Abyss. At this speed, we'll be there in about five minutes..."
These dozen or so figures racing through the Desolate Realm toward the Abyss were experts from the International Alliance. After finishing the aftermath in Hanfeng Country, they prepared to rush over to help...
At that moment, the sky suddenly turned dark!
The speed of the dozen figures racing toward the Abyss in the Desolate Realm suddenly slowed down...
They looked up at the sky and found that the boundless darkness was gradually swallowing the remaining blue sky...
Everyone's pupils dilated in shock, and they froze on the spot.
That direction...
Is the Starry Sky Plank Road!
Most of them knew about the existence of the Starry Sky Rift on the Starry Sky Plank Road, but the previous rift was very small and could only be seen when standing on the road itself...
Now, even standing on the distant land, the rift was clearly visible!
How big must it be...
Once the Starry Sky Rift expands, Extraterrestrial Demonic Beasts will completely flood into Tianxuan!
"Professor... are we going over?" A middle-aged man asked, looking at the massive rift visible to the naked eye.
With such a large rift, the few Ninth-Turn Experts on the Starry Sky Plank Road alone would have no way to completely block the demonic beasts outside...
But...
They could also feel the terrifying aura emanating from the Abyss...
To be able to transmit pressure several hundred kilometers away meant that an incredibly terrifying existence currently resided in the Abyss!
"Support the Starry Sky Plank Road!" Thoughts raced through Meng Feier's mind, and he made a decision instantly.
No matter how terrifying the thing in the Abyss was, it wouldn't be able to leave the Desolate Realm for a while and couldn't cause major destruction to the cities...
But if the Starry Sky Plank Road fell, the surging tide of millions of beasts would surely flood every corner of the Tianxuan Continent instantly. At that point, Tianxuan would truly become a living hell...
Moreover, since the Starry Sky Rift was expanding so quickly, someone must have used a forbidden technique!
The culprit, unsurprisingly, should be in the Abyss right now...
To make them willing to drag all of Tianxuan down with them, they must have been driven to a dead end by Chu Ran!
Meng Feier glanced toward the Abyss, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes, and then directed everyone to speed toward the Starry Sky Plank Road...
...
Starry Sky Plank Road.
Watching the Starry Sky Rift tear open at a visible speed, this Ninth-Turn Expert from Storm Country couldn't help but feel a hint of retreat; this was a fear etched deep in his soul!
He could feel pairs of greedy eyes outside the rift, waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the demonic beast that would lead the charge!
Millions!
No one could withstand such a massive extraterrestrial beast tide...
If they were really allowed to enter Tianxuan...
Then Tianxuan would surely perish!
But...
As one of the top experts of the Tianxuan Continent and the Chief National Preceptor of Storm Country, Loster had long since put life and death aside, just like the other Ninth-Turn Professionals who had comprehended Power of Laws when preparing to step onto the Starry Sky Plank Road.
He didn't try to suppress the hint of fear in his mind; he just took a long breath. His wrinkled face was full of calm, and his pale long hair was messy in the wind. Compared to the beast tide, his figure was so small...
He unhurriedly raised his right hand, fingers slightly spread. In an instant, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand, crazily gathering toward his palm.
The leaden clouds at the zenith suddenly dispersed, and a ray of cyan-blue sky light poured down, landing in his palm!
Spiritual energy surged, turning into bits of light, swirling and condensing. In just a few breaths, a cyan-blue spiritual energy lotus slowly bloomed in his withered palm. The petals were layered, the veins clear, and the edge of each lotus petal was surrounded by a faint flowing light. Even the surrounding air rippled with fine spatial ripples due to this extreme condensation...
Feeling this powerful spiritual energy fluctuation, the active demonic beasts that were originally eager to try behind the rift instantly slowed down as if they had lost their souls...
Seeing this, a curve finally appeared at the corner of Loster's mouth, but the movement in his hand still didn't stop.
He flicked his fingertip, and the cyan-blue lotus drifted out slowly, like a weightless feather, spinning in the gale, unhurriedly floating toward the massive Starry Sky Rift...
"Boom—"
The moment the lotus reached the rift, the world seemed to freeze for a second.
The next moment, world-destroying energy exploded.
Cyan-blue light waves swept out in a ring, centered on the lotus.
Wherever the light passed, the roars of the demonic beasts stopped abruptly, their hard scales shattered like paper, and their powerful bodies were instantly crushed into blood mist...
This one strike instantly killed over a thousand Monarch Grade Demonic Beasts, but the demonic beasts crawling on the rift quickly filled the gap. Those few that turned into blood mist had no impact at all on the vast demonic beast army...
Loster still looked calm, meeting those greedy eyes, and his lips parted slightly: "Come!"
...
The moment he met those vertical pupils, a feeling of palpitation welled up in Chu Ran's heart.
He had never seen that aura before; even Qiu Rongzi had never given him such pressure...
He was certain that the owner of those vertical pupils must be an extremely terrifying... dragon!
"Leave here quickly," Chu Ran said to Lu Xiu beside him.
Lu Xiu only snapped out of the fear of meeting those vertical pupils after hearing Chu Ran's voice...
He was sure that if Chu Ran hadn't been by his side, that look just now would have been enough to make him lose his mind!
"Master... you..." A look of worry appeared on Lu Xiu's face. From its aura, the demonic dragon at the bottom of the Abyss seemed even a few points stronger than the Flame Sky Sparrow...
Chu Ran stuck out his pinky and picked his ear. "Don't call me master, I don't take disciples."
"Go to the Starry Sky Plank Road and help..."
"I can help you here..."
"Get lost, I can't go all out with you here," Chu Ran said crossly.
Lu Xiu instantly stood at attention. Looking at Chu Ran's relaxed expression, his heart was full of shock...
To be able to maintain this sense of relaxation in the face of such a powerful demonic dragon...
No wonder he had achieved what he had today at the age of eighteen...
"Goodbye, Master." Lu Xiu instantly fled.
Fearing that staying here for one more second would affect Chu Ran's performance...
After Lu Xiu's figure completely disappeared from sight, Chu Ran stretched and loosened his muscles.
At the same time, the tremors at the bottom of the Abyss suddenly intensified. Dragon scales grinding against the rock layers brought a thunderous roar, and dragon claws tearing through the void produced a vibration that made even mountains prostrate!
A pitch-black shadow soared up from the rift where rubble surged!
"Roar—!"
Its wings spread, actually covering half the sky!
The wing membranes were covered with hideous bone spurs. Every flap kicked up a gale that could overturn mountains.
No extra movements, no violent release of aura—just hovering there, it was like an eternal demonic mountain, making the entire Abyss feel suffocated.
Seemingly smelling Qiu Rongzi's aura on Chu Ran, it stared fixedly at him with those thunder-fire vertical pupils from above!
Chu Ran yawned. He hadn't expected this Nether Prison Dragon to be a contracted beast with a master...
He discovered Beast Taming Runes on the Nether Prison Dragon...
And its aura seemed to have reached the Quasi-Totem realm...
Even more sharp than the Flame Sky Sparrow...
"Your master isn't by your side, right?" Chu Ran asked.
A hint of confusion flashed in the Nether Prison Dragon's vertical pupils.
"Since no one is backing you up..." A faint smile appeared on Chu Ran's face, and an Array Diagram appeared behind him...
"Then I'm going to gang up on you."
The next moment, a giant "meteor" of cyan-black dark gold shot out from the Array Diagram, heavily striking the Nether Prison Dragon in the distance...
