188: Entering the forbidden Black Abyss, encountering terrifying creatures

"S-Senior... this is a forbidden land. Even Great Emperor Experts who enter will perish." Hua Xiaoxi recovered her senses and explained the situation of the Black Abyss Forbidden Land to Jiang Chen.

No matter the reason, if Jiang Chen didn't know how terrifying the Black Abyss Forbidden Land was, she had to inform him.

After all, Jiang Chen was a Quasi-Emperor level expert.

As soon as they enter the Black Abyss Forbidden Land, those terrifying creatures will be awakened. By then, forget finding demonic creatures, they'll lose their lives.

"Oh? This place can make a Great Emperor perish?" Jiang Chen's eyes flashed with surprise upon hearing this, but it was quickly replaced by amusement and curiosity.

If Hua Xiaoxi hadn't mentioned it, he truly wouldn't have known that the Black Abyss Forbidden Land before him could cause a Great Emperor to perish.

But now that he knew, he wasn't scared at all. Since advancing to Peak Great Emperor...

Although he hadn't fully absorbed Immortal Crystals to raise his cultivation, he occasionally absorbed some for refreshment. Two or three tenths of the spiritual energy in his body had been converted, making him half an Immortal.

Furthermore, he possessed four actual True Immortal Cards. If he encountered danger, he could summon them at any time. There was no place in this world he dared not go.

"Heh heh, Little Girl, if you're scared, wait outside for this Venerable One. This Venerable One will be out soon."

Jiang Chen smiled, leaving behind a trace of Divine Sense Power inside Hua Xiaoxi's body to protect her.

Then he walked straight toward the Black Abyss Forbidden Land.

"S-Senior!!" Seeing that Jiang Chen knew the Black Abyss Forbidden Land could cause a Great Emperor to perish yet still walked inside, Hua Xiaoxi cried out anxiously.

But Jiang Chen seemed not to hear her voice and continued walking toward the Black Abyss Forbidden Land.

"Sigh... if I die, I die!" Hua Xiaoxi gritted her teeth, stamped her foot, and quickly followed Jiang Chen.

Although she didn't know why Jiang Chen would enter despite knowing the danger, he was going in to find Demonic Qi for her. Therefore, even if it meant death, she would die with Jiang Chen.

Watching the two walk toward the Black Abyss Forbidden Land, they soon entered its boundaries.

The group of cultivators who were preparing to profit from the chaos all screamed repeatedly.

"Holy crap! Is this Quasi-Emperor trying to kill himself? Why would he commit suicide in the Black Abyss Forbidden Land?"

"What exactly is going on? Doesn't he know how dangerous it is inside?"

"The Black Abyss Forbidden Land is a place where even Great Emperors perish. How dare he!"

The group watched the direction where the two disappeared, their mouths wide open in shock.

They could understand Hua Xiaoxi entering the Black Abyss Forbidden Land.

But for Jiang Chen, who was at least a Quasi-Emperor, to enter the Black Abyss Forbidden Land—they couldn't understand it at all.

After all, the fact that Great Emperors had perished in the Black Abyss Forbidden Land was likely known to everyone in Central State.

What Jiang Chen was doing was essentially walking in to commit suicide.

"Alas, what a shame about that Little Girl who can absorb the Black Energy."

"I know, why did she follow him in? What a massive idiot."

Everyone recovered their senses, displaying expressions of regret.

Now that Hua Xiaoxi had followed him in, she would be caught in the crossfire when Jiang Chen was attacked by the terrifying creatures.

It would be difficult to find another Earth Venerable like Hua Xiaoxi who could absorb Black Energy and infinitely retrieve treasures.

Inside the Black Abyss Forbidden Land.

The moment Jiang Chen entered, several frenzied and enraged roars echoed from the central Abyss.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!!"

The entire Black Abyss Forbidden Land began to shake with these roars, as if some great terrifying Demon was about to be born.

"Ah!"

Hua Xiaoxi, who had followed him in, turned deathly pale upon hearing these roars.

If Jiang Chen hadn't timely given her a Protective Shield, she might have been roared to death by those sounds.

"Didn't I tell you to wait outside? Why did you come in again?" Seeing Hua Xiaoxi enter, Jiang Chen scolded her crossly.

If he hadn't reacted quickly just now, Hua Xiaoxi would have been shaken to death by those violent roars.

If that happened, the epic treasure chest given by the System might be retracted.

After all, if someone died immediately after being brought into the Sect, the System would definitely cause trouble.

"Senior, I... I wanted to come in and accompany you," Hua Xiaoxi said with a hint of grievance, biting her lip.

She hadn't thought much about it when she came in.

Who knew the creatures inside the forbidden land would be so terrifying? Just a few roars almost killed her; it was truly frightening.

"Fine, since you're in, stay here near the edge for now. Wait until this Venerable One takes care of those guys, then I'll take you further inside to look for demonic creatures suitable for cultivation."

Seeing Hua Xiaoxi's slightly aggrieved expression, Jiang Chen couldn't bring himself to scold her further.

Instead, he instructed her not to get too close to him.

Because he had already sensed eight Peak Great Emperors filled with violent aura rushing toward him.

If Hua Xiaoxi got too close, the residual energy from his fight with those creatures would purify her.

"Yes, Senior!" Hua Xiaoxi replied, obediently standing at the edge of the Black Abyss Forbidden Land.

Jiang Chen said nothing more, flying straight toward the eight Peak Great Emperors radiating violent auras.

Soon, in his line of sight...

Eight grotesque, pitch-black creatures appeared.

Some of these creatures had horns, some were covered in scales, and some had wings on their backs.

However, they all shared one common trait: their eyes were red, blood-red.

They were filled with violence, cruelty, and all sorts of negative emotions.

If someone with low cultivation level made eye contact with them, they would likely be driven mad by these emotions on the spot.

"Jie jie jie!"

"Another Great Emperor Realm human has arrived! It's been over twenty thousand years since we fed on such a powerful human."

"That's right. Ever since we killed that last human, those damned humans have been scared witless and no longer dare to send people with high cultivation in."

"Tsk tsk, we finally get a good meal today. My stomach has been hungry for over twenty thousand years. This feeling is truly unbearable."

The eight pitch-black Demonic Race creatures surrounded Jiang Chen, staring intensely at him with their scarlet eyes.

Their eager gazes looked like they wanted to immediately tear Jiang Chen to shreds.
