Xuanwu Wu Ao

He feigned composure.

An arrogant expression still lingered on his face.

Yang Jian unhurriedly turned to leave.

"What are you looking at?"

Noticing the gaze behind him,

Yang Jian turned back and roared!

The Flame Demon repeatedly said he wouldn't dare.

He turned and burrowed into the magma, his aura quickly fading into the distance.

Yang Jian swiftly reined in his aura.

Without this technique of concealing his aura, which he learned from Old Wolf Mo Ren, Yang Jian would have found it difficult to thrive in the Abyss.

After all, he only wanted to kill some small fry to accumulate some abyssal essence.

He just wanted to pick up some trash that others didn't want and bring it back to cherish!

What had he done wrong?

How had he brought trouble upon himself?

Although the Flame Demon's aura had receded, the other party would certainly still be monitoring Yang Jian's movements.

Perhaps they just wanted to watch this harbinger of misfortune leave on his own?

Forced into a corner, now a second problem had emerged.

This image was an illusion.

The demon wings on his back were merely for show, not practical!

They couldn't lift Yang Jian into the air at all.

If he were to run on the ground with the appearance of a winged demon... So, he had to gamble again, to see how cowardly the Flame Demon who had just fled truly was.

Yang Jian stated that he didn't want to test the demonic nature.

He pretended to walk along the riverbank into the distance.

Yang Jian could feel that the other party's consciousness had locked onto him... He could only risk trying that skill!

It was an advanced application of the Transformation skill, which he had once learned from the Hero-tier expert Zhu Xi!

Yang Jian began to recall the feeling of transforming into a bird in his flying form.

This time, Yang Jian controlled himself.

He attempted to transform only halfway... only manifesting the wings.

The majority of his body remained unchanged!

...The Great Demon's figure walked steadily into the distance.

In the distance, the Flame Demon, who was mentally monitoring the area, felt increasingly uneasy!

Just as he rose, preparing to probe,

The pair of demonic wings on the Great Demon's back in the distance slowly spread.

They flapped slowly twice, carrying the massive body into the air.

His speed grew faster and faster.

Gradually, he disappeared... The Flame Demon let out a breath.

Then he slapped himself.

What was he thinking? Did he really have the guts of a bear and a leopard?

To try and test the other party's authenticity?

If he hadn't held back today and had actually made a move!

Regardless of whether he won or lost, this matter would likely not end well... If he lost, there was no need to say more, he would be dead for sure.

If he won, there was even less need to say more, he would be better off dead... He thanked his calm and collected self from just now.

After flying for dozens of kilometers, Yang Jian's tense expression finally relaxed slightly.

His top priority now was to leave the Abyss... Yang Jian assessed his current location.

He had already deeply penetrated this battlefield area.

This 'Abyss' wasn't actually a specific layer of the Abyss.

It was a front-line battlefield formed by patching together multiple shattered worlds.

The Abyss Gates of multiple worlds were all arranged in this vast land.

After bypassing this River of Flames and crossing the compressed Hibernating Mountain Range,

Yang Jian would be able to leave through another Abyss Gate.

During his journey, Yang Jian had also used his Heavenly Eye to check his status.

He actually hadn't found any demonic marks or tracking energy placed on him.

Yang Jian blindly guessed.

Either the guy he killed wasn't that important.

After all, he was only a Level 70 Great Demon... even Abyssal Monsters probably hadn't seen such a low-level Great Demon much.

Or, he was swallowed as Abyssal energy by his golden-tier Devouring Spirit Body... But Yang Jian didn't want to guess!

His current gains had already far exceeded his expectations.

He didn't want anything else, just to take all these gains back!

He traveled along, killing any Abyssal Demons he encountered that he could defeat.

He gained a clear understanding of his own strength.

Yang Jian even dared to ambush isolated peak First-Turn powerhouses.

Of course, this 'powerhouse' was relative to Yang Jian.

And Abyssal Clan members who reached this level of strength,

Even a Fallen Demon, would have some spatial equipment.

After all, strength was the fundamental determinant of everything.

With spatial equipment... some of them would have many good things on them.

Yang Jian wasn't picky.

Every little bit he could pick up helped.

After all, at this level,

The items they carried wouldn't be too bad.

Because they themselves would no longer be converted into loot by the laws of strength.

All dropped items were things they had collected in life.

Yang Jian accepted all comers, not picky about what was given.

As long as they dared to drop it, Yang Jian dared to pack it and take it away.

Finally, after flying at full speed for almost two days, he finally reached the Hibernating Mountain Range.

When observing from a distance, it seemed like he could fly to this mountain range in less than half a day!

Unexpectedly, when he actually started running,

It took Yang Jian a day and a half of full-speed flight to reach it.

The idiom 'running a horse to death looking at a mountain' was materialized at this moment.

Flying at full speed, he could maintain a speed of over two thousand kilometers per hour for half a month without stopping.

In a narrow sense,

To the people of Blue Star, he was already considered a god!

Of course, this was also the convenience brought to him by the druid king ring.

This unexpectedly acquired ring had almost run through his entire cheat-like history... Yang Jian's thoughts rarely went astray like this.

He thought, ever since leaving Newbie Village, he hadn't seen Kassan again!

Now, looking back at the value of this ring... Yang Jian decided to find connections in the game and then transfer her to the Star Palace's outpost to open a general store!

Giving her a stable place to live out her remaining years.

His thoughts continued to diverge, and just as Yang Jian was about to think of his Heavenly Eye... he shivered and snapped back to reality!

Something was wrong!

His Heavenly Eye instantly activated, and Yang Jian's heart pounded.

Yet he also began searching for hidden enemies.

The moment it opened, Yang Jian only had time to glance.

The Heavenly Eye instantly closed!

Cold sweat immediately broke out on Yang Jian's forehead.

"I didn't expect such an interesting outsider to dare to delve this deep..."

Before him, a miniature turtle spirit body ripped through space and appeared in front of Yang Jian, suspended in the air.

When its four limbs gently swayed, the air seemed to ripple like water... "Senior, you are?"

"Haven't you already seen it?"

Yang Jian swallowed hard!

The other party was currently a soul clone.

Not to mention that he severely lacked methods to deal with souls right now.

Even if he had a way, he couldn't attack the other party's main body through a clone!

Moreover, even if the other party's main body was here,

Yang Jian definitely couldn't defeat him!

Yang Jian truly wanted to slap himself now; if he had known, he wouldn't have taken the detour.

It was all the Infernal Ruler's fault for chasing him, only to be counter-killed by him... It made Yang Jian now paranoid, always feeling that they could track him down in the Tian Yao Realm!

He had no choice but to take another route, but unexpectedly, he encountered another one... Thinking of this, Yang Jian was startled again!

Damn it, had he fallen into the other party's trap again?

This old tur... bah, this handsome and dashing, peerlessly beautiful old senior... looked so amiable and approachable... surely he wouldn't make things difficult for a poor junior who was being hunted, would he?

The turtle soul floating in the air laughed heartily.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. I just want to know some information about you. I trust you won't mind, will you?"

"I don't mind, I don't mind!"

Yang Jian shook his head like a rattle drum!

In his mind, he didn't even dare to have a thought of complaining... for fear that this amiable old senior would suddenly change his expression!

The other party should have a skill to guide him into memories.

And a way to peek into those memories!

"Hehe, young man, don't be nervous! Your little secrets, this old man doesn't even care for... To put it harshly, any random person with the potential of a high-level god would have more powerful talent than yours!"

What else could Yang Jian say?

Even high-level gods seemed to look down on him!

Yang Jian felt the ripples in space as the other party moved back and forth in the air.

He felt his worldview being repeatedly rubbed into the ground!

"You are right, I dare not be arrogant and complacent, I still need to work hard!"

The little turtle's face was prematurely aged.

Its appearance was that of a newly hatched young turtle.

However, anyone who saw its demeanor,

Could only describe it with one word.

Prematurely aged!

"Control yourself, if you keep thinking wildly, this old senior is going to lose his temper!"

Did he hear that too?

Yang Jian didn't know what the other party was planning.

He quickly composed himself, awaiting the other party's instructions.

"Actually, there are no instructions!"

"Under normal circumstances, if you had just left in a daze, you would have left!"

"But you, young man, not only noticed something was wrong, but you also wanted to stay and investigate!"

"You investigated, and you actually managed to discern something..."

The little turtle chuckled.

"With so many prerequisites, if you had lacked even one, I wouldn't have come out to see you!"

Seeing that the other party seemed quite happy,

Yang Jian quickly asked the doubt in his heart.

"Old Senior, you are?"

"Wu Ao, patriarch of the Xuanwu Clan from the Tianxing Great World!"

Wu Ao? Wouldn't 'Awoo' be better... "Hmm?"

The little turtle gently patted with its foreleg, and Yang Jian shot down, smashing into the ground.

The hard mountain seemed like paper.

Yang Jian almost got stuck and couldn't get out!

Wu Ao seemed to have just reacted.

He lifted his right front paw, and Yang Jian, who was in the mountain, shot back out again.

This time, he was dizzy and disoriented.

"Sorry, I forgot to turn off the skill, it's still affecting you. Are you alright?"

"N-No... I'm fine!"

Yang Jian forced a smile as he replied!

Wu Ao's expression was slightly unnatural. He still had something he needed this kid's help with... He had beaten him up first, what should he do now?

Although it was just a gentle pat,

But for Yang Jian... that hit was both bewildering and mentally taxing!

"How about this, I see you have many clansmen under you. I have a good item I used when I was young, I'll give it to you!"

The other party didn't show any intention of apologizing.

But giving this item away was surely meant to serve that purpose.

Yang Jian looked at the turtle shell that the little turtle threw out and suspended in front of him, a bit confused!

Something that Wu Ao used in his youth and called a good item... Yang Jian was truly tempted.

He wanted to open his Heavenly Eye to examine it, but facing Wu Ao's direction,

Even opening his Heavenly Eye felt difficult.

He turned in another direction, and with the help of his Heavenly Eye,

He finally saw through the turtle shell and discerned the item's essence!

"Name: Time-Space Combat Arena (Red)"

"Description: When Wu Ao became a god, he used his shed turtle shell to create this Time-Space Prison! Collecting planar energy, Wu Ao refined the Time-Space Prison into 3000 small combat arenas, used to imprison Abyssal Demons for his descendants to challenge!"

"Remark: This item is rubbish for cultivating gods, but for cultivating some subordinates with heroic potential, it's no problem!"

"Such a good item... you won't use it?"

The little turtle chuckled.

"If I escape, I can easily set up restrictions to trap those ants! If I can't escape... whether I have this or not doesn't make much difference!"

When Yang Jian heard the word 'escape',

He knew the main event was coming...
