Playing with Qingxu

The border between the Central Province and the Southern Region is rugged, with chaotic Spiritual Qi.

The Yin-Yang Chaotic Abyss is an absolute death zone within a radius of ten thousand miles that makes people turn pale at the mere mention of it.

Nightmare's figure stepped out from the Void Realm, hovering at the edge of the abyss.

Even with his vast experience, he could not help but be slightly moved by the sight before him.

The so-called abyss was not a canyon or rift in the usual sense, but a huge, twisted, and shattered space collapse zone!

As far as the eye could see, the earth looked as if it had been viciously torn apart by a giant hand, forming a massive chasm hundreds of miles wide and bottomless.

Inside the chasm, it was not pure darkness, but filled with a chaotic color—gray-black, pale white, dark red...

Energies of various attributes rolled, collided, and annihilated like boiling water, occasionally erupting with terrifying lightning and silent energy tides that tore through the Void Realm!

What was even more bizarre was that the Laws of space here seemed completely disordered.

One second it was a land of extreme Yang, hot as molten lava, and the next second it could turn into a dead zone of extreme Yin that froze the Soul.

Huge rocks floated in the air, moving slowly at times, and at other times being suddenly thrown by invisible, immense force.

Occasionally, one could see distorted, half-virtual, half-real, bizarre creatures struggling and wailing in the turbulent energy; those were the poor wretches alienated by the chaotic Laws of this place.

Strong space storms and energy turbulence formed a natural barrier, and Divine Sense was greatly interfered with and suppressed here; even Nightmare's Divine Sense at the Middle Nascent Soul Stage could barely cover a range of a thousand zhang.

"What a place of Yin and Yang Chaos..." Nightmare's eyes narrowed slightly.

The danger level of this place was indeed far beyond the ordinary, and the ubiquitous space rifts and energy annihilations were enough to threaten the safety of a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

No wonder the records of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion stated that even Nascent Soul Cultivators dared not venture deep inside.

He carefully sensed the clue provided by Manager Mo Chen— "The remnant of the reincarnation wood might exist in the ruined capital at the boundary of Yin and Yang."

Where would this so-called "ruined capital" be?

Just then, in the sky far behind him, a blazing golden light approached at extreme speed, carrying undisguised anger and killing intent!

Qingxu Zi had arrived!

"Devil Head! Where are you fleeing to!" The voice arrived before the person.

Qingxu Zi had evidently tracked the faint Devilish Qi here, and seeing Nightmare at the edge of the abyss confirmed his suspicions.

Amidst his angry roar, a Flying Sword burning with pure Yang Dao fire had already broken through the air, its Sword Qi brilliant, attempting to force Nightmare away from the edge of the abyss.

Nightmare did not even look back.

He simply took a step forward.

His figure plummeted like a meteorite, straight down toward the abyss filled with destructive energy!

Qingxu Zi's Flying Sword struck empty air, smashing a piece of the rock wall at the edge of the abyss into powder.

"Trying to use this death zone to escape? In your dreams!" A fierce glint flashed in Qingxu Zi's eyes.

Relying on his profound cultivation and the protective Magic Treasure bestowed by the Sky Patrol Alliance, he did not hesitate to turn into golden light and follow him into the Yin-Yang Chaotic Abyss!

Upon entering the abyss, the terrifying environmental pressure struck instantly!

The chaotic energy turbulence was like billions of bone-scraping steel knives, crazily cutting at his protective spiritual light!

The tearing force brought by the twisted space was enough to instantly tear a Golden Core Cultivator to pieces!

Even more deadly was the all-pervasive, chaotic Law shock targeting the Divine Soul, which was enough to make one lose their composure!

Qingxu Zi's expression changed slightly; he immediately sacrificed a Bagua mirror Magic Treasure to hang above his head, letting down streams of clear light to protect his body, and his speed inevitably slowed down.

He had to devote most of his attention to resisting the erosion of the environment.

Meanwhile, Nightmare in front seemed to be at ease.

He did not even deliberately urge his protective Demonic Essence, relying solely on his strong demonic body tempered by the Heavenly Tribulation and the Annihilation Nether Spring to hard-carry most of the energy impacts.

Those energy turbulences, enough to tear apart Magic Treasures, scraped against his skin, leaving only white marks that instantly recovered as before.

The Myriad Poison Demonic Scripture operated on its own, swallowing and refining the alien energy that invaded his body, instead replenishing his consumption.

His speed was almost unaffected; like a flexible fish, he wove freely through the chaotic energy storms and space rifts, occasionally deliberately inciting a few particularly violent energy tides and throwing them at Qingxu Zi behind him.

"Damn it! What kind of monster is this Devil Head?!" Qingxu Zi was both shocked and angry.

He had to frequently dodge or strike to shatter the energy tides that were drawn over, appearing quite embarrassed.

In this death zone, the other party actually seemed as comfortable as a fish in water!

The two of them, one chasing and one fleeing, continuously went deeper into the abyss.

The surrounding environment became increasingly harsh.

Sometimes they would suddenly fall into absolute darkness and silence, where even Divine Sense was swallowed; sometimes they would fall into a sea of blazing white light, so hot that it felt like it could melt the Divine Soul; sometimes the sense of direction would be completely lost, and they would even see fragments of past or future space-time flash by!

Relying on his powerful Divine Sense and demonic body, Nightmare could always narrowly avoid the most dangerous areas.

He even began to deliberately lead Qingxu Zi toward some dangerous places where the energy was particularly violent or the space was extremely unstable.

"Devil Head! If you have the guts, fight this seat head-on!" Qingxu Zi was furious.

He had almost been swallowed by suddenly appearing space rifts several times, the protective clear light of the Bagua mirror had dimmed a lot, and his magical power consumption was huge.

Nightmare finally stopped, turned around, and hovered above a relatively stable energy vortex, a trace of mockery appearing on his sallow face: "As you wish."

He raised his hand, joined his fingers like a knife, and gently slashed at a seemingly calm Void Realm in front of him!

"Myriad Poison Cutting!"

A tiny yet extremely condensed pitch-black thread shot out silently, not at Qingxu Zi, but at a tiny, almost imperceptible space wrinkle not far from him!

Qingxu Zi was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed drastically!

"Are you crazy?! You dare to disturb the Space Dark Thunder?!"

But that black thread had already accurately hit the space wrinkle!

Rumble—!

It was as if a powder keg had been ignited! That seemingly calm Void Realm suddenly expanded and twisted violently, and then exploded with a bang!

Countless gray-white, terrifying thunder completely formed by chaotic space power—Space Dark Thunder—raged like out-of-control thunder Dragons, instantly completely submerging the area where Qingxu Zi was!

"Bagua protect the body, Heaven and Earth settle the order!" Qingxu Zi was scared to the point of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, crazily urging the Bagua mirror, and spitting out a mouthful of lifeblood essence to boost it!

The clear light of the Magic Treasure flourished, barely protecting him!

But the power of the Space Dark Thunder was far beyond imagination! That was the destructive energy produced by the riot of the Laws of space!

Crack! Crack!

The clear light shield emitted by the Bagua mirror kept shattering like glass! The Magic Treasure itself trembled violently, its spiritual light dimming rapidly!

"Pfft!" Qingxu Zi spat out blood repeatedly, his face instantly turning pale as paper, his eyes filled with horror and heartache!

This Lifebound Treasure he had nurtured for many years was about to be destroyed here!

And Nightmare, the moment he detonated the Space Dark Thunder, had already used Void Realm traversal and escaped thousands of zhang away, coldly appreciating Qingxu Zi's embarrassment.

He was not unable to kill Qingxu Zi directly, but here, using the power of the environment was undoubtedly more effortless, and also... more interesting.

Finally, after hard-carrying a dozen more Space Dark Thunders, the Bagua mirror of Qingxu Zi let out an unbearable wail, its spiritual light completely extinguished, and the mirror surface was covered with cracks, obviously half-ruined!

And he himself was seriously injured, his Dao robe was tattered, his whole body was scorched black, and his aura was withered to the extreme.

He looked in horror at Nightmare in the distance, who was unscathed and had a steady aura, and finally completely understood the huge gap between the two!

The other party was simply toying with him!

If he stayed any longer, he would definitely die!

Escape!

Once this thought arose, it could no longer be suppressed.

Qingxu Zi gritted his teeth fiercely, ignoring his injuries, burning the remaining lifeblood essence, urging a secret escape technique, and turned into a faint blood light, desperately fleeing toward the top of the abyss, not even caring about the half-ruined Bagua mirror.

Nightmare watched his panicked fleeing figure and did not chase.

Killing an Elder of the Sky Patrol Alliance at the Peak of the Early Nascent Soul Stage was not difficult for him, but it would inevitably lead to more crazy retaliation and investigation from the Sky Patrol Alliance, which was temporarily disadvantageous to his plan.

Seriously injuring and scaring him away was enough.

He raised his hand and summoned the cracked Bagua mirror into his hand.

"The Materials are decent; if re-refined, perhaps it can be refined into the myriad soul banner to increase some ability to stabilize space."

Casually putting away this trophy, Nightmare's gaze turned to the deeper parts of the abyss again.

Having sent away the fly, it was time to get down to business.

"reincarnation wood... ruined capital..."

His Divine Sense carefully swept over the chaotic energy ocean below, trying to find traces of "relics" that might exist and were out of place with the surrounding environment.

At the same time, he also sensed the situation of Mo Yuan and others through the demonic seed in his body.

They seemed to have safely arrived at the outskirts of Black Water Town and were carefully inquiring about news, with no abnormalities for the time being.

Nightmare collected his mind, identified a direction that felt relatively stable in terms of energy but carried a trace of ancient dead silence, and slowly sank down.

The real exploration had only just begun.

What kind of secrets were hidden in the core of this Yin-Yang Chaotic Abyss?

And did the remnant of the reincarnation wood really exist?

His figure gradually disappeared into the bizarre, dangerous, and treacherous mist of the abyss.
