176: The seduction from the Lord of the Abyss

Two immortal emperor artifacts, plus the previous immortal emperor artifact, meant there were a total of three immortal emperor artifacts.

With three immortal emperor artifacts, even if a true Immortal Emperor were to descend, they might not necessarily be able to break through them in a short time.

Therefore, only after making complete preparations could Gu Jixiao head to the Abyss Cave with peace of mind.

Soon, after some twists and turns, Gu Jixiao finally arrived before the Abyss Cave suppressed by the immortal emperor artifact.

Sensing the immortal emperor artifact before him, Gu Jixiao could perceive that a trace of the Ancient Heavenly Venerable's Restriction power had already been left within it.

However, after some consideration, Gu Jixiao did not erase the Ancient Heavenly Venerable's Restriction power from it; instead, he moved the immortal emperor artifact aside with a wave of his hand.

The moment the immortal emperor artifact was moved, the Abyss Cave it had been suppressing appeared before Gu Jixiao.

Inside the Abyss Cave, countless Abyssal Beasts were stirring restlessly, their auras incredibly powerful and terrifying, the weakest being at the Immortal Sovereign Realm.

As the immortal emperor artifact responsible for the Seal was moved, those Abyssal Beasts could no longer restrain themselves and swarmed out.

Gu Jixiao, however, drew several Abyssal Beasts into his body with a wave of his hand, and then immediately moved to control the immortal emperor artifact to suppress the Abyss Cave once again.

But just then, an incredibly seductive voice came from deep within the Abyss Cave.

"Do you want to become even stronger? Do you want to become a true Immortal Emperor? Become my servant, and I can help you become a true Immortal Emperor."

"Otherwise, when I break the Seal and emerge in ten thousand years, there will be no living beings left in Chaos! Not a single survivor."

As this seductive voice spoke, Gu Jixiao couldn't help but frown slightly.

Although the Ancient Heavenly Venerable had refined more Laws than Gu Jixiao, this was offset by the fact that Gu Jixiao's Laws were all top-tier, making his strength comparable to that of the Ancient Heavenly Venerable.

Thus, just as the Ancient Heavenly Venerable could sense the power of the Lord of the Abyss Cave, Gu Jixiao could naturally sense it as well.

"A true Immortal Emperor? Interesting."

Gu Jixiao couldn't help but let out a light chuckle, and then with a wave of his hand, he suppressed and killed the Abyssal Beasts trying to rush out of the Abyss Cave.

"However, I have no inclination to be anyone's servant. So, you'd better give up on that idea. In ten thousand years, I will personally come to the Abyss Cave to slay you."

After saying this, Gu Jixiao controlled the immortal emperor artifact to suppress the Abyss Cave once more.

After suppressing the Abyss Cave, Gu Jixiao's expression couldn't help but turn solemn.

"A true Immortal Emperor... was the one speaking earlier the Lord of the Abyss Cave?"

"It seems I must become stronger very quickly. The Lord of the Abyss Cave must be at least an Immortal Emperor powerhouse; otherwise, it would be impossible for him to make such a bold claim about making me a true Immortal Emperor."

Gu Jixiao murmured to himself.

Then, with a flash of his figure, he rushed back toward the Saint Realm.

Deep within the Abyss Cave, which had already been suppressed by the Seal, an incredibly magnificent Ancient Pagoda stood at the bottom.

Countless golden runes existed on the Ancient Pagoda, each emitting an incredibly ancient aura. If any Abyssal Beast tried to approach the runes, they would be annihilated on the spot by the runes' terrifying power.

The interior of the Ancient Pagoda was a world of its own.

Inside the Ancient Pagoda, countless pitch-black Profound Dao chains existed around the perimeter.

Countless Profound Dao chains stretched toward the center of the Ancient Pagoda. Looking at the center, a withered figure was kneeling there, the Profound Dao chains extending to his body and binding him tightly.

The figure slowly opened his eyes, those incredibly blood-red eyes looking outside the Ancient Pagoda at the immortal emperor artifact at the top of the Abyss Cave.

"Chaos, you have suppressed me for so long, but you would never have imagined that I would one day break the Seal. When that time comes, I will destroy your world!"

"I will make it so that all things no longer exist!"

"As for those four Quasi-Immortal Emperors, I will make them... die!"
