167: Chapter 167 A Demon God at the Half-Step to Divinity Realm

Mo Yanyan followed closely behind. Although the entrance to the Demon Abyss was only a single well, there was a whole other world inside.

It was impossible to tell how large it was with the naked eye; soon, the two of them successfully landed on a stone platform.

There were no entrances or exits behind the stone platform, and in front of them was an endless abyss, its depth completely unknown.

Countless scattered rocks floated upward at a slow pace, vanishing into thin air once they reached the very top.

"This... is amazing. Is that a Teleportation Talisman Array at the very top?" Mu Cheng looked at the scene before him, finding it unbelievable.

Mo Yanyan was so irritated she punched him directly on the head and gave him another scolding.

"You brat, how about I throw you up there to find out? What time do you think it is? You're still worried about whether it's a teleportation array?"

"Master, the Bloodline Power is being restricted here." Suddenly, Xiao Yao's voice came through his consciousness.

Mu Cheng: "Bloodline Power is restricted? No, it isn't. Everything seems normal."

"Normal my foot! Of course it's restricted by bloodline. If it weren't for my special constitution, let alone coming in, you would have turned into a pile of white bones at the entrance long ago." Mo Yanyan didn't waste any more words.

She leaped onto a floating rock and jumped down. "Keep up."

Mu Cheng followed closely. The journey was extremely smooth, the kind where there wasn't a hint of danger.

"I say, Sister Yanyan... is this really the Demon Abyss? Isn't it a bit too quiet?" Mu Cheng finally couldn't help but ask.

Mo Yanyan cursed as soon as she opened her mouth: "Was your brain kicked by a donkey? Or did it get waterlogged? This is one of the Ten Great Life Forbidden Zones. Do I really need to explain what a 'Life Forbidden Zone' means?"

Mu Cheng was rebuked so hard he didn't dare speak. This was completely different from Peppa's sharp tongue; this was the kind that left a person speechless right from the start.

The two continued downward for a full five days before finally reaching the bottom of the Demon Abyss.

The bottom wasn't as terrifying as imagined; there were many, many rockeries and small peaks, only about ten meters in height.

Mu Cheng wanted to ask something, but Mo Yanyan spoke first. "Don't ask anything, just follow!"

Left with no choice, he honestly followed behind Mo Yanyan. Before long, the two arrived at the very Central Area.

The Central Area featured a small mountain peak, roughly twenty meters high, except its color was pitch black.

Furthermore, there were dense iron chains binding it tightly...

"This is the place. Just stay put honestly," Mo Yanyan said very seriously.

Mu Cheng stared blankly at the scene. Although he was full of doubts, he still didn't ask more and stayed put honestly.

At that moment, an old man in white suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of Mo Yanyan.

He had white hair and looked quite old, yet he seemed very energetic, not looking like an old man at all.

"It really is you, girl. Is he... the possessor of the Devouring Bloodline?" the white-clothed old man asked slowly.

Mo Yanyan answered very politely. "Mhm. Senior Leilong, you can break the seal now. I'll need you to lend me a hand for what comes next."

"The time, the place, and the people are all aligned; now we're just missing this final step. Even if this old man has to risk his life, I'll give it a shot." The white-clothed old man, Shangguan Leilong, didn't waste words.

Without any visible movement from him, all the iron chains suddenly snapped, and cracks began to appear bit by bit on the central mountain peak.

"What on earth do they want to do?" Mu Cheng felt extremely confused in his heart.

Soon, the mountain peak completely collapsed. Bound inside by many iron chains was a Demon God.

"This is a Demon God... but why does he feel so ordinary?" Mu Cheng finally couldn't resist speaking up.

He did seem quite ordinary; there was no aura coming from his body, and his appearance was similar to the Demon Gods they had encountered before.

"You sure have a lot of questions. Let me ask you then: doesn't this senior in front of you also seem quite ordinary?" Mo Yanyan countered.

Mu Cheng was instantly startled. "This... his strength, could it be above the Ninth Order Peak?"

"More than just Ninth Order Peak; he is only one step away from the Omni-God realm," Shangguan Leilong also spoke.

Only one step away from the Omni-God realm? Was a being this terrifyingly powerful for real?

And they were actually letting him out...

"This... his strength should be restricted to the Ninth Order Peak, right?" Mu Cheng asked, forcing himself to stay calm.

Mo Yanyan: "No, no, no. The Ten Great Life Forbidden Zones are not restricted by the Heavenly Dao. His strength is at the Half-Step Omni-God realm."

Upon hearing this, Mu Cheng almost lost his footing. Seeing the two of them so composed, however, he weakly asked a question.

"You guys should be certain you can deal with him, right?"

"It's not about being certain. Even if he is heavily injured, he is still extremely strong. Even with Senior and I joining forces, we only have a ten percent chance," Mo Yanyan explained clearly.

A ten percent chance? What kind of operation was this? He was locked up perfectly fine, yet they had to go looking for trouble?

"This... fine! I believe you two must have a trump card." Mu Cheng couldn't help anyway.

What else could be done at this point? He could only stay here and be a bystander.

"It's good that you know there's a trump card, so there's no need to worry." Shangguan Leilong wasn't intimidated at all.

As the iron chains on the Demon God's body gradually fell away, he suddenly opened his eyes.

"Hmm? The seal was released early? This... is a possessor of the Devouring Bloodline? Interesting, truly interesting." The Demon God quickly noticed the aura on Mu Cheng's body.

Mo Yanyan wasn't intimidated in the slightest. "Let's make a deal! This Demon Abyss will belong to you after this."

"To think it's the Lord of Ten Thousand Shadows, and you, you old fogey. Unfortunately, do you even deserve to make a deal with me?" The Demon God slowly descended from mid-air to the ground.

"Is that so? Then let's test it out."

Mo Yanyan attacked directly. She vanished, and soon, countless shadows on the ground surrounded the Demon God in groups.

"Begone!" The Demon God merely flicked a finger, and all the shadows were directly blown away by an invisible force.

At the same time, Mo Yanyan was also sent flying. She spat out blood, and when she stood up again, it was clearly with great effort.

It was obvious that the two were not on the same level at all.

"Space Imprisonment." Shangguan Leilong also made his move.

Unfortunately, it was the same result. He couldn't even look cool for three seconds before the Demon God, with just a flick of his finger, made it so he couldn't even stand up.

"Scram now! Otherwise, stay here forever." The Demon God didn't deliver a killing blow but instead told them to leave.

"What's going on? This guy actually didn't kill them?" Even Mu Cheng found it impossible to figure out.

Mo Yanyan did not give up. "Are you really not going to consider it? Are you sure you won't regret it?"

"Hahahaha, how utterly ridiculous! Now that the seal is broken, isn't this Demon Abyss already mine for the taking?" The Demon God laughed, almost laughing his head off.

But before long, he suddenly reacted. "Wait... what exactly are you trying to do? Things won't be that simple."

"Heh, you finally understand? Are you sure you won't consider it? Don't forget, your seal was released early," Mo Yanyan spoke again.

Shangguan Leilong also cooperated. "Indeed. You really should consider it carefully, or else you'll miss this opportunity and never get another."
