Chapter 509: The Demon Abyss Trial Begins
Fire Phoenix Valley ranked seventeenth among the eighteen warlords.
Ye Beixuan and Feng Qiongyu stood quietly at the front of the team, as the Feng family ancestor had specially instructed every Feng family member present.
"After you enter the Fire Demon Abyss, you must listen to everything Beixuan and Qiongyu say, understood?"
Everyone replied in unison: "We will respectfully follow the ancestor's command."
The Feng family ancestor finally set his gaze on Ye Beixuan: "Beixuan, I'm leaving the rest to you."
"Rest assured, ancestor, this grandson-in-law will do his utmost."
Ye Beixuan said with full confidence.
As they spoke, the teams ahead gradually entered the abyss.
The sizes of the various teams varied greatly, with some having over a hundred people, while others, like the Feng family, had only a dozen or so.
Soon, the Feng family members arrived at the entrance to the Demon Abyss.
The phoenix in the sky glanced at everyone, finally setting its gaze on Feng Qiongyu.
"One who has awakened the phoenix bloodline may enter the Demon Abyss."
After everyone bowed slightly to the phoenix, they walked into the Demon Abyss.
The moment Ye Beixuan stepped into the Demon Abyss, he felt a wave of heat and demonic energy rushing toward him.
Feng Qiongyu unconsciously emitted a fiery aura, and the phoenix bloodline within her was boiling, as if something inside was calling to her.
She spoke: "Everyone, follow behind me."
Ye Beixuan didn't ask questions, merely staying close to Feng Qiongyu.
As the group ventured deeper into the Demon Abyss passage, a barrier of demonic fog blocked their path.
The group didn't retreat, continuing to follow closely behind Feng Qiongyu.
The moment everyone stepped into the demonic fog, Feng Qiongyu became like a bright lamp in the dark night, emitting a scorching light.
The surrounding demonic fog dissipated, revealing a path before everyone.
Seeing this, Ye Beixuan murmured: "So only those who have awakened the phoenix bloodline can pass through this demonic fog. No wonder that senior earlier checked if we had someone with an awakened phoenix bloodline."
Feng Qiongyu nodded slightly: "Senior brother, this is truly amazing."
Ye Beixuan smiled: "What I'm most curious about is what kind of beings the demons in this Demon Abyss are, and whether they can bring us great rewards."
Meanwhile, the Qingluan clan's team had already emerged from the demonic fog, led by a beautiful woman, with the burly man who had previously argued with Ye Beixuan standing beside her.
The woman stopped and turned to the burly man beside her: "Hong Li, do you want to wait here for those fellows from Xuanzhou?"
Hong Li smiled: "No need for such trouble, young mistress. As long as we sweep through this Demon Abyss, we'll surely find them."
"Alright."
Qingli nodded slightly and was about to move forward when she suddenly thought of something, turning back: "If you can help me achieve the top three, I will definitely help you with what you mentioned earlier."
Hearing this, Hong Li's face showed excitement as he respectfully said: "Thank you, young mistress."
The cultivators of the Qingluan clan continued forward.
On the other side, Feng Qiongyu and the others spent a short while passing through the demonic fog.
A desolate world appeared before everyone's eyes.
The land here was black and red, constantly emitting heat. There were no rivers here, only rolling magma and quicksand.
Ye Beixuan subconsciously looked up, and what caught his eye was a sky full of fiery clouds, dyeing the dark sky with a touch of red.
Feng Qiongyu turned to look at Ye Beixuan and asked: "Husband, which direction do you think we should go?"
Ye Beixuan smiled: "My luck has always been in the west. How about we head west?"
"Alright."
Feng Qiongyu agreed without a second thought.
The group headed west, and as they ventured deeper into the Demon Abyss, the surrounding demons grew more numerous.
The shapes and types of these demons were bizarre and varied; some were humanoid, some were beast-like, and some were even identical to stones and sand.
If not for Ye Beixuan's powerful perception at the front, they would have encountered many ambushes along the way.
The group traveled for a day, but the sky remained exactly the same as when they entered, without the slightest change.
A Feng family disciple murmured: "How strange. Could it be that this secret realm has no day or night?"
Ye Beixuan smiled: "It seems so now. In my opinion, this is less a secret realm and more a Divine Domain."
"A Divine Domain?"
Upon hearing these two words, the Feng family disciples all showed expressions of confusion.
Having lived two lives, Ye Beixuan was knowledgeable and experienced. He explained calmly: "A Saint can control the laws of heaven and earth, while a Divine King can use their controlled laws to form their own Divine Domain. Within this Divine Domain, the Divine King is an invincible existence."
"It can be said that as long as the Divine Domain is not broken, the Divine King cannot be defeated, which is why there is the saying that Divine Kings are the true gods of the world."
"But didn't that Demon God already fall?" a Feng family disciple asked.
Ye Beixuan nodded: "It did fall, but its Divine Domain and blood have completely merged with this heaven and earth, creating such a secret realm. Otherwise, so much demonic fog would not have been born."
Hiss...
After hearing this, everyone subconsciously gasped, saying in unison: "Today, we have truly broadened our horizons."
Feng Qiongyu asked: "Husband, what is your goal this time? How many Marquises are you planning to suppress?"
"Marquises?"
Ye Beixuan shook his head: "Since we are all here, we should naturally suppress a Half-Saint, so that all of us can have a great harvest."
Hearing this, the Feng family disciples did not cry out in excitement. Instead, they looked at Ye Beixuan cautiously.
A Feng family disciple said in a low voice: "Brother-in-law, with just our strength, looking for a Half-Saint Demon Lord, isn't that seeking death?"
The other Feng family members echoed in agreement: "Yes, yes, let's just suppress some Marquises."
Seeing this, Ye Beixuan had no intention of forcing the issue. He smiled: "Fine, let's find a Marquis to practice on first."
Sigh...
Only then did the Feng family disciples secretly sigh in relief. If Ye Beixuan had insisted on finding a Half-Saint Realm Demon Lord, they truly wouldn't have been able to stop him.
They really didn't know what this Prodigy Ye was thinking, to actually consider provoking a Half-Saint Demon Lord.
Each person was lost in their own thoughts. Ye Beixuan used his spiritual sense to scan the surroundings and found no trace of demons, then said: "Let's make camp here. I will stand guard for all of you, so you can rest assured."
"Thank you, Prodigy Ye."
As they spoke, everyone began to set up camp.
Several hours later, the group set off again. Time passed imperceptibly in the secret realm. After walking for several hundred li, they suddenly saw people fighting a few li away.
Ye Beixuan immediately raised his hand and said: "Stop."
The Feng family members immediately halted their steps. The residual laws of the Demon God in the secret realm allowed them to only vaguely perceive the battle ahead; they could not clearly see which force was fighting the demons.
Ye Beixuan's gaze fell upon the crowd. He said: "Third Brother, take two people to scout ahead. Remember not to get too close—just find out which force it is so we can go around them."
