171: The master of the abyss?

Seeing that Ancient Heavenly Venerable and the other two had finally returned, Dao Ghost Heavenly Venerable let out a sigh of relief and immediately urged them.

"Quickly, use the immortal emperor artifact to suppress the Abyss Cave once more!"

Hearing Dao Ghost Heavenly Venerable's words, Ancient Heavenly Venerable's expression turned solemn. He immediately manipulated the immortal emperor artifact in his palm, causing it to transform into the shape of a grand temple, and then directed it to suppress the Abyss Cave.

Although Gu Jixiao had left his True Spirit Power within the immortal emperor artifact, he still granted Ancient Heavenly Venerable control over it, though his own authority remained higher than Ancient Heavenly Venerable's.

To put it simply, if he and Ancient Heavenly Venerable were to appear before the immortal emperor artifact at the same time, the artifact would only obey his commands and could not be controlled by Ancient Heavenly Venerable.

As the immortal emperor artifact moved to suppress the Abyss Cave, a sudden change occurred: a terrifying, hideous roar echoed from the depths of the cave.

"You still dare to dream of suppressing the Abyss Cave? Just wait! In ten thousand years, this venerable one will surely break the Seal and emerge. At that time, I will plunge Chaos into misery and leave not a single blade of grass standing!"

After those words, the immortal emperor artifact settled over the Abyss Cave, completely cutting off that voice.

Once the Abyss Cave was suppressed and the dust had settled, Dao Ghost Heavenly Venerable finally sighed in relief, but his expression soon turned grave as he thought of something.

"What exactly was that voice just now? Could it be the Master of the Abyssal Cave?"

Looking at Ancient Heavenly Venerable and the others, their expressions were equally solemn, especially Ancient Heavenly Venerable's.

Despite being a great distance from the Abyss Cave, he could still sense the terrifying power of the voice's owner.

It was no exaggeration to say that he had a faint intuition: if the owner of that voice appeared before him, he would be no match for them.

At the thought of this possibility, Ancient Heavenly Venerable couldn't help but feel a shiver of fear.

"It should be the Master of the Abyssal Cave. I felt his strength; honestly, I am no match for him."

Though he was loath to admit it, Ancient Heavenly Venerable nodded in acknowledgment.

Hearing Ancient Heavenly Venerable say this, the expressions of the Demon Venerable and the other two Quasi-Immortal Emperors turned grim.

"But regardless, he said he has ten thousand years left and will break the Seal then."

"This means he is currently sealed. If we strike now, there is a high probability we can kill him within the Abyss Cave."

After considering something, Ancient Heavenly Venerable spoke with a serious expression.

Dao Ghost Heavenly Venerable and the other two Quasi-Immortal Emperors fell into deep thought upon hearing Ancient Heavenly Venerable's words.

Seeing them deep in thought, Ancient Heavenly Venerable waved his hand.

"In any case, this matter is of great importance and requires careful planning. Let's set it aside for now; after all, there are still ten thousand years."

"What is most important right now is the Quasi-Immortal Emperor from the Sacred Realm."

As Ancient Heavenly Venerable finished speaking, Dao Ghost Heavenly Venerable, who had been unaware of the situation, looked puzzled.

"Sacred Realm? Quasi-Immortal Emperor? What do you mean?"

Soon, Dao Ghost Heavenly Venerable learned everything from Myriad Demon Heavenly Venerable and immediately became enraged.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! I will never allow forces from the Sacred Realm to enter the territory of my Ghost Realm!"
