Heaven and Earth

Green Ghost and Fire Drought knew Zhong Qing was incredibly strange and 邪門, but they never imagined he could be this 邪門.

From the looks of it, even the Lord of the Abyss couldn't do anything about him.

As their minds reeled, Green Ghost seemed to recall something.

He prostrated himself on the ground and respectfully said, "Lord of the Abyss, are you no longer concerned about your treasures, the ultimate treasures within the Five Directions Divine Hall, the Illusory Saint Pagoda, and the Chaos Qi he absorbed?"

How could the Lord of the Abyss not want them?

But right now, he truly couldn't claim them.

He coldly said, "What's the harm in letting him keep them for now?"

"How could my treasures be so easily taken?"

"Once my injuries recover, I will pursue him to the ends of the earth and tear that little bastard to shreds!"

The gritted teeth in his voice sent shivers down the spines of Green Ghost and Fire Drought.

In their opinion, their Lord of the Abyss had been utterly provoked to the point of breaking down by Zhong Qing!

The two dared not ponder further, nor did they dare to delay. After receiving their orders, they went to carry them out.

Not long after!

A fierce wind swept across the Abyss, and the mist that had enveloped the Abyss completely dispersed.

The Abyss, which had been perpetually dark, was now bathed in sunlight.

This brought a touch of clarity and brightness to the once decaying and gloomy forest.

Zhong Qing immediately noticed the change in the Abyss.

At this moment, his surroundings were no longer a hazy expanse but the sky above a forest.

Within the forest, vines were dense, withered ancient trees stood tall, and white bones were piled like mountains.

The ancient path still lay beneath his feet, stretching across the sky above the forest.

Looking ahead, the ancient path clearly led out of the Abyss.

"What's going on?"

He was a bit bewildered.

The legendary forbidden land, the Hell-like Abyss, and the path just appeared beneath his feet like this?

However, Zhong Qing didn't pay it much mind.

If, when he first entered the Abyss, he had wanted to pass through quickly.

Now, he was no longer in a hurry to leave.

Chaos Qi! The Qi left over from the dawn of creation, a Treasure Trove almost impossible to find anywhere in the world. It was a rare opportunity to encounter it. If he didn't seize the chance to collect more, he would feel a tremendous loss.

After all, once this village is passed, there won't be this shop.

Thinking of this, Zhong Qing no longer paid attention to the outside world, focusing wholeheartedly on continuing to collect Chaos Qi.

Although the white mist had dissipated, it didn't mean the Chaos Qi had vanished.

It was merely stored in a space invisible to the naked eye.

For Zhong Qing, the efficiency of absorption was even faster than before.

Within the Abyss.

At the Hell magma vent!

Green Ghost and Fire Drought returned to report after dispelling the white mist.

Green Ghost: "Lord of the Abyss, the white mist has been dispelled, and the path leading out of the Abyss has been opened for him!"

The voice of the Lord of the Abyss came from within the Hell magma: "Has that little beast left?"

"To answer the Lord of the Abyss, no, he is still lingering in place, still absorbing Chaos Qi."

Hearing this, the Lord of the Abyss could no longer sit still.

As his mind sensed, he discovered that the rate at which his stored Chaos Qi was decreasing was even faster than before.

In an instant, he was almost bursting with rage.

"What does that little beast take my Abyss for?"

"A Treasure Trove?"

"I've opened the path for him, and he still won't leave!"

At this moment, this supreme expert, who had dominated the world for a lifetime and was almost invincible, suffered another mental breakdown.

What kind of existence was the Abyss?

It was a place of dread in the hearts of countless people.

Its mere mention could make children cry.

He had shown great mercy, allowing the other party to leave.

But the other party not only didn't leave but was now leeching off him.

The Lord of the Abyss trembled with cold rage.

"Too much!"

"This little bastard is truly too much!"

He had lived for so many years, and he had always been the one to take advantage of others; no one had ever dared to take advantage of him.

But now, Zhong Qing had not only taken every advantage, but by the looks of it, he wasn't going to stop until he had completely stripped him bare.

"Lord of the Abyss, what should we do now?"

Facing such a situation, Green Ghost and Fire Drought were completely at a loss.

They couldn't kill the other party.

Ignoring him was also disgusting.

To be honest, having stayed in the Abyss for so many years, this was the first time they had encountered such a troublesome existence.

To say his strength was high? Not necessarily.

They had personally slaughtered a large number of Cultivators in the Myriad Laws Realm.

To say his strength was poor?

Even one of the Ancient Top Ten Killing Formations, the Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Constellation Formation, couldn't kill him.

He was truly 诡異 and a Prodigy to the extreme.

The Hell lava churned, indicating the extreme unrest within the Lord of the Abyss.

After a long while, he finally suppressed the agitation in his heart and said, "You two, go and invite him over. I want to have a good talk with him."

Green Ghost and Fire Drought were stunned.

Generally speaking, someone who could have a talk with their Lord of the Abyss would at least be a Cultivator of the same level.

But now, a junior in his early twenties was being personally invited by their Lord of the Abyss for a discussion.

This, no matter how they heard it, felt incredible.

At this moment, the two felt that the world was too absurd!

Zhong Qing's performance had redefined their understanding of a Prodigy.

"Lord of the Abyss, please wait. We will, right now, invite that person over!"

After bowing, Green Ghost and Fire Drought headed straight for Zhong Qing's location.

This day, for the two of them, was truly incredibly unbelievable.

They went back and forth repeatedly between Zhong Qing's location and the Abyss.

Each time, their emotions were incredibly complex.

Recalling when they first met Zhong Qing, they only felt that this person was somewhat extraordinary.

When he first emptied the Five Directions Divine Hall, they only felt that this person was extremely greedy.

When he passed through the Magic Bamboo Formation, his Prodigy nature greatly shocked them.

Later, during the trip to the Illusory Saint Pagoda, Zhong Qing's Prodigy nature shattered their worldview and understanding.

Finally, he was even Heaven-Defying, breaking one of the Ancient Top Ten Killing Formations that had been fierce in ancient times, without even moving.

And now, it was even more outrageous.

A junior not yet twenty years old, whom even the Lord of the Abyss could do nothing about, had to be invited!

The two of them had seen many great storms and waves; they themselves were once legends.

But they had never seen anyone like Zhong Qing.

Soon, the two arrived near Zhong Qing.

This time, the two did not hide their figures.

Instead, they openly stopped in front of Zhong Qing.

"Your Excellency, my Lord of the Abyss invites you!"

Green Ghost cupped his hands to Zhong Qing and went straight to the point.

Zhong Qing looked at the two sudden arrivals, a strange glint in his eyes.

One of them had a green face and fangs, the other was as red as a ghost; simply by appearance, they were a mudslide among anomalies.

Of course, putting aside their appearances, their identities also piqued his interest.

"Who is your Lord of the Abyss?"

Fire Drought cupped his hands towards the depths of the Abyss and said, "My Lord of the Abyss, the Lord of the Abyss!"

This single sentence made Zhong Qing fall into contemplation.

A slight ripple spread in his heart.

Ever since entering the Abyss, Zhong Qing had been collecting treasures until his hands were sore.

He had long suspected that there should be living beings in this Abyss, he just hadn't discovered them yet.

But now, the Lord of the Abyss suddenly sent someone to invite him, what was the purpose?
