Killing array starts

As soon as he thought that the Small World could accelerate its evolution, Zhong Qing’s Divine Soul stirred.

He immediately sat cross-legged on the spot, his spirit and body merging as he fully focused on capturing and absorbing the surrounding Chaos Qi.

The sky-filling white mist was the dispersed state of Chaos Qi.

As Zhong Qing absorbed and extracted it, the white mist, after entering the Small World, transformed into wisps of primal black light.

That was precisely the Elementary form of Chaos Qi.

The entire process was subtle, like a gentle rain.

But the speed of absorbing Chaos Qi was not slow at all.

And within the Small World, with the addition of this Chaos Qi, the entire space became hazy, feeling like a celestial realm.

However.

Green Ghost and Fire Drought, who were constantly observing Zhong Qing’s movements, didn't even detect anything unusual.

Perhaps they saw that the white mist around Zhong Qing was becoming denser.

But they never thought that he could devour the white mist.

After all, ordinary people couldn't even recognize this stuff.

Moreover, for most people, Chaos Qi was harmful and useless; only Supreme powerhouses could refine it.

Yet, who would have thought that Zhong Qing wasn't refining it himself, but directly supplying it to a Small World?

Just like that, Zhong Qing performed a 'light under the lamp' act right under the noses of Green Ghost and Fire Drought.

He was like a mouse that had fallen into a rice bin, overjoyed beyond measure.

On the other side!

Within the Hellish magma.

The Lord of the Abyss was repeatedly trying to communicate with his lost treasures using his Divine Thought.

However, no matter how he tried, those treasures seemed to have completely vanished from this world; he couldn't find them at all.

This made his expression extremely gloomy.

Just as he was pondering why his treasures and he had been completely severed.

Suddenly, his heart trembled violently.

He sensed that the Chaos Qi he had stored in the Abyss was rapidly disappearing, slipping out of his control.

Chaos Qi was a gas left over from the beginning of creation; one wisp used meant one wisp less.

He had collected these at great cost.

He had even nearly died several times while collecting this Chaos Qi, paying an unimaginable price.

This Supreme treasure played a crucial role in the recovery of his injuries.

But now, it was being stolen by someone.

“Who?”

A furious roar shook the long sky.

Terrifying pressure rose from beneath the ground.

As if to crush the entire Void Realm.

Upon learning that the Five Directions Divine Hall and other Supreme treasures had lost their connection, the Lord of the Abyss was angry, but he could still barely suppress his rationality.

However, Chaos Qi was like his lifeline.

Even losing a little bit would make his heart ache.

At this moment, although he had lived for countless years, his anger was surging uncontrollably.

He was clearly infuriated.

In the turbulent Hellish magma, the magma churned, and the Abyss trembled.

In an instant, the Lord of the Abyss sensed that the disappearing Chaos Qi was being absorbed by Zhong Qing.

Immediately, his rage soared!

The surrounding magma surged with boundless giant waves.

“You little beast, you truly don’t know what’s good for you, daring to touch my foundation.”

“Green Ghost, Fire Drought, where are you? Come see me quickly!”

His voice pierced through layers of space, directly exploding in the minds of Green Ghost and Fire Drought.

The two, who were originally bored watching Zhong Qing sit cross-legged, suddenly groaned.

A trace of blood escaped from the corner of their mouths.

“What happened?”

Their hearts were greatly alarmed.

An imprint had been planted in their Divine Souls.

To some extent, they could indirectly sense their master's emotions.

Since they became the Lord of the Abyss's subordinates, it was the first time they had felt their master so distraught.

The two were terrified, and before they could react, they had already vanished from their original spot.

This imprint was terrifying; with just a thought from the Lord of the Abyss, he could control their life and death, summoning them to his side at any time.

Amidst the dizzying sensation, the two had already arrived at the Hellish magma mouth.

“Master, what are your orders?”

The two knelt on the ground, Green Ghost, suppressing his unease, spoke tremblingly.

The Lord of the Abyss was furious.

His voice was like thunder, carrying boundless killing intent.

“That little beast dared to touch my foundation, absorbing my Supreme treasure, Chaos Qi.”

As soon as these words came out, Green Ghost and Fire Drought's expressions changed dramatically.

If the Lord of the Abyss hadn't mentioned it, they wouldn't have even known that Zhong Qing had set his sights on their master’s Chaos Qi.

And was even stealing it right under their noses.

The two thought about how they had diligently watched over Zhong Qing, preventing him from causing trouble.

But despite all their precautions, he still succeeded.

For a moment, they felt utterly ashamed.

And after a brief pause, the Lord of the Abyss said, word by word: “I command you two to immediately activate the Abyssal Killing Array. I want him to be completely buried in the Abyss.”

Upon hearing this, Green Ghost and Fire Drought were greatly shocked.

The Abyssal Killing Array was one of the ten most renowned killing arrays in ancient times; once activated, there was no escape from death.

In the past 100,000 years, only one terrifying figure who crossed the Abyss from Central State had used this killing array.

That person, with a stomp of his foot, could make the entire Central State tremble thrice.

But even such a figure, in front of the killing array, couldn't last even three breaths before being directly slain on the spot.

And now, to activate the killing array for a person who was only twenty years old.

In their eyes, this was incredibly unbelievable.

Green Ghost weakly said, “Master, that person is very likely to pass all the trials and become your spokesperson in the human world.”

“Are you really going to kill him just like that?”

100,000 years!

A full 100,000 years.

Now, after so much difficulty, they had finally found someone who had the potential to pass all the trials.

If he was killed like this, Green Ghost feared that his master would regret it later.

However, the Lord of the Abyss's attitude was exceptionally firm.

As the magma churned, the Lord of the Abyss’s furious voice echoed out.

“If that little beast continues to absorb it, my injuries might be delayed for countless years before they can recover.”

“At this point, never mind a spokesperson; he’s useless even if he were the King of Heaven.”

“Kill him!”

The voice filled with killing intent reverberated through the vast sky, carrying many echoes, spreading throughout the entire Abyss.

At this moment, he even disregarded the treasures and the Purple Bamboo Forest he had lost earlier.

He wished he could dismember Zhong Qing on the spot.

...

The Abyssal Killing Array, originally named the Three Hundred Sixty-Five Star Dou Killing Array.

Its power was extremely terrifying!

In ancient times, this array had killed Supremes, slaughtered Saints, and stained Imperial blood.

It had forged an unparalleled reputation, slaying through an entire era.

Its renown shook heaven and earth.

The mere mention of its name could silence countless mighty beings, change the color of Saints, and make Great Emperors avert their gaze.

It had been dormant for far, far too long.

In this era, it was almost extinct.

Now, this earth-shattering grand array was finally activated once more.

And it once again revealed its terrifying side.
