170: Changes in the Abyss

To the side, although the Demon Venerable didn't speak, his expression clearly showed the confusion in his heart.

After all, he was the Demon Venerable, a mighty Quasi-Immortal Emperor. It had been a long time since he had suffered such a great grievance. Gu Jixiao's actions today were undoubtedly rubbing his Face into the dirt.

Looking back at the Ancient Heavenly Venerable, he let out a cold snort and spoke in an angry tone.

"Fight? What would we fight with? Didn't you see that the opponent could casually take out more than ten immortal emperor artifacts?"

"Moreover, we have already refined over two thousand seven hundred of the Laws within the entire Chaos."

"The remaining Laws are not enough to support the emergence of a new Quasi-Immortal Emperor."

"Yet that person broke through to become a Quasi-Immortal Emperor? Can't you see the severity of the situation from this alone?"

Hearing the Ancient Heavenly Venerable's words, the Myriad Demon Heavenly Venerable, who had been blinded by rage, finally calmed down, feeling a lingering fear in his heart.

Even so, he still wore a look of indignation.

"Then what should we do? Should we just let the grievance we suffered today go?"

"For now, let's wait and see. The most important thing at hand is to suppress the Abyss Cave first."

The Ancient Heavenly Venerable shook his head and then looked at the immortal emperor artifact in his palm, his expression extremely solemn.

Gu Jixiao's True Spirit Power was already left within it. If they attempted to refine it, Gu Jixiao would likely kill his way to them in no time.

Furthermore, they truly had no need to go to war with Gu Jixiao right now.

After all, fighting Gu Jixiao meant an uncertain outcome; either they would perish and their Dao would vanish, or Gu Jixiao would.

Although the Ancient Heavenly Venerable believed the probability of their own demise was minuscule, it was certainly not impossible.

Therefore, the best choice was to wait and see how things developed.

Seeing that the Ancient Heavenly Venerable had spoken thus, the Myriad Demon Heavenly Venerable had no choice but to let the matter drop.

Only the Demon Venerable had a solemn expression and deep eyes, his thoughts unknown.

In the next moment, the three continued their journey toward the Abyss Cave.

On the other side, before the Abyss Cave.

The Dao Ghost Heavenly Venerable stood like a lone guardian against ten thousand, easily slaying any Abyssal Beasts that tried to charge into the Chaos.

However, before long, the Dao Ghost Heavenly Venerable realized something was wrong.

"The overall strength of the Abyssal Beasts has increased."

The Dao Ghost Heavenly Venerable furrowed his brows tightly.

Although it wasn't very obvious at first, he had felt the overall strength of the Abyssal Beasts rising since a moment ago.

Initially, the Abyssal Beasts were all at the Immortal King Realm, but in just a short while, their Realm had jumped from the Immortal King Realm to the Immortal Sovereign Realm, and their numbers were terrifying.

If a newly ascended Immortal Venerable power had come to block them, they might not have lasted very long.

It was only because he was a Quasi-Immortal Emperor that he could handle it so easily.

But what he was worried about now wasn't the Abyssal Beasts of the Immortal Sovereign Realm, but what might happen next.

If they were already at the Immortal Sovereign Realm now, what about later? What if they became Immortal Venerable Realm Abyssal Beasts?

If the upcoming waves were truly all at the Immortal Venerable Realm, given his strength, he could only hold out for ten years at most.

After all, he was only a Quasi-Immortal Emperor and not a true Immortal Emperor. If he were a true Immortal Emperor, dealing with a small Abyss Cave would be incredibly simple.

While the Dao Ghost Heavenly Venerable was still lost in thought, the three Quasi-Immortal Emperors, led by the Ancient Heavenly Venerable, finally returned with Gu Jixiao's immortal emperor artifact.
