491: Shouxingyuan

"You still dare to curse? Stubborn even on the brink of death. Killing you was indeed the right choice!"

Hearing Abyss Lord's insults, Chen De merely sneered with indifference.

It was just the usual hysteria, impotent rage, and stubbornness of a villain.

The dignified Chen De, the dignified Supreme Holy Mother, would not be provoked by a few random insults.

Supreme goodness is like water; Chen De's mind had long ago reached an extremely high realm.

Abyss Lord was not one to only rely on his tongue; while cursing Chen De, he was searching for an opportunity and possibility to escape.

To him, in this battle, as long as he could escape, it would be a victory.

When the time came, he would spread the news that the Zhengyuan Sect had wiped out both Qianqiu Palace and Star Abyss.

He could even say that Positive Separation of the Heavenly Sun Sect was killed by Yuan Chen just to cover up the truth about him seizing the demonic object.

In this way, it would surely cause a huge uproar throughout the Xichen Domain.

Even if the later events weren't blamed on the Zhengyuan Sect, the earlier ones would be enough to give them a hard time.

First, the North Domain Star Palace and Heartless Hall would inevitably learn the news and take precautions in advance.

Second, the alien forces would never pass up such a good opportunity to loot a burning house.

Of course, those Alien Races might also watch the tigers fight from the mountain, waiting for both sides to be wounded before acting.

But it would certainly bring a lot of invisible pressure to the Zhengyuan Sect, forcing them to constantly guard against alien forces while fighting the North Domain Star Palace and Heartless Hall.

Fighting on two fronts is always an extremely risky strategy.

Only because of the existence of the Zhengyuan Sect's Grand Elder might those Alien Races not show their heads at all.

But for the North Domain Star Palace and Heartless Hall, whether they showed up or not didn't matter anymore.

Because the Zhengyuan Sect's goal this time was clearly the remaining four major human forces.

At the moment of life and death, no matter what the Zhengyuan Sect's strength actually was, whether strong or weak, they would resist to the death.

The Palace Master of the North Domain Star Palace was known as the second strongest expert of the Immortal Law Realm First Transformation in the Xichen Domain; the strongest was an alien.

But under certain special circumstances, even that strongest alien was no match for him.

With such strength, he would surely be able to block the Zhengyuan Sect's progress.

Of course, this was assuming the Zhengyuan Sect's Grand Elder did not intervene.

At that time, it might be the best opportunity for Abyss Lord to take his revenge.

Right, there were also those demonic path forces hidden in the shadows of the Xichen Domain.

Especially the Moyuan Sect among them, whose heritage was as ancient as the Zhengyuan Sect's.

They had hated and killed each other for countless years, which showed that its strength was also quite extraordinary.

As arch-enemies, Abyss Lord believed they would not miss this chance to severely damage the Zhengyuan Sect.

Even if the Alien Races didn't act, the Moyuan Sect definitely would.

Arch-enemies for countless years—one wonders if the Zhengyuan Sect is afraid?

Even if that wasn't enough, don't forget there were also experts from other domains.

Experts of the Xichen Domain would covet the resources of other domains, and naturally, experts of other domains would also covet the resources of the Xichen Domain.

If experts from other domains learned of such an opportunity where the internal strength of the Xichen Domain was greatly reduced and left empty, they would surely not let it pass.

The experts of the Xichen Domain would be wary of the Zhengyuan Sect having the Grand Elder Chang Qi, who was in the Immortal Law Realm Second Transformation.

But for other domains, they also had experts in the Immortal Law Realm Second Transformation presiding over them.

Since most surrounding domains only had one Immortal Law Realm Second Transformation expert.

Once pinned down by the opponent's Immortal Law Realm Second Transformation expert, the rest would depend on the number and level of those in the Immortal Law Realm First Transformation.

So for him now, the most urgent thing was to find an opportunity to escape as soon as possible and wait for another day.

There were many more opportunities for revenge; the foundation Abyss Lord had left here was already destroyed, so he had no lingering attachments.

As for whether the Xichen Domain would be plunged into misery, besides the most merciful Supreme Holy Mother, which Immortal Law Realm expert would care about such things?

Right now, Abyss Lord wished that this place of sorrow would be destroyed as miserably as possible.

Finally... in one of their exchanges, Chen De revealed a flaw so tiny it could hardly be called one.

Thus, Abyss Lord's face showed neither joy nor sorrow, no different from before.

But secretly, he moved.

In just an instant, Abyss Lord chose to burn thirty percent of his origin.

As terrifying as the power of the Immortal Law Realm was, their origin was just as difficult to strengthen or replenish.

The thirty percent origin that Abyss Lord chose to burn would likely take millions of years to cultivate back.

Not only that, but during these millions of years, he would likely face the predicament of his cultivation not progressing an inch.

Unless there was a major realization or epiphany, a breakthrough in the profound meaning of laws, or assistance from certain treasures.

It was clear that in order to escape with his life, Abyss Lord had truly paid a heavy price.

Even so, he felt it wasn't enough; after burning thirty percent of his origin, he added another twenty percent.

Burning one's origin was actually a very painful thing, even more painful than direct soul torture.

But so as not to show the slightest abnormality, Abyss Lord's face showed no sign of anything unusual.

He could even continue to curse Chen De in the same tone as before.

"Yuan Chen, you hypocrite! Do you think I don't know? You wiped out Qianqiu Palace, and I'm afraid Fairy Xian Qing was also killed by you, wasn't she?"

"Not only that, I now suspect Positive Separation is dead, killed by your hands, and that demonic object has also fallen into your possession."

"And now, for your own ambition, you want to unify the Xichen Domain and destroy me."

"It's not just my Star Abyss; your next step will be to move against the North Domain Star Palace and Heartless Hall, right?"

"I'd really like to see what kind of scene it will be when you meet your old flame."

"Will you kill her directly, or take her in?"

"Today, with my blood, my life, and my everything, I will make you understand that the Immortal Law cannot be insulted, even by another of the Immortal Law!"

"Ah, ya ya ya!"

Immediately, in this strike, Abyss Lord suddenly erupted with incredibly powerful force.

The force was so strong that it actually knocked Chen De back several light-years in an instant.

But Abyss Lord had no intention of continuing the fight; he mustered all his strength.

Using the power he had been gathering for a long time, he rushed toward the direction he had already planned.

Today, he must live; he must leave this place.

Even the Heavens couldn't stop him—that's what he said.

Then, Abyss Lord erupted with unparalleled speed, causing even Chen De to look on in surprise.

This Abyss Lord, whom he had disregarded, had succeeded!

Abyss Lord's figure was already too fast to see, gliding through the universe.

He charged toward that direction with a speed far exceeding his usual.

And then... then he suddenly executed a sliding kneel in the starry sky and kowtowed on the spot.

"Righteous Sect Master of the Zhengyuan Sect, I was wrong!"

His expression was devout, like that of a fanatic.
