Chapter 1183 Abyss
Liuli was so angry that her cheeks turned red. Just as she was about to retort, Luoli raised her hand and patted her gently, signaling her to calm down.
"Now that the test is over, let's avoid any more trouble." Luo Li's expression was calm. Her fingertips brushed across the Sun-Devouring Cauldron, and the runes on the cauldron flickered. "The situation in the Continent of Gods is turbulent right now. The Demon God and his followers are ready to make a move. I need the power of the Sun-Devouring Cauldron."
The red-haired man crossed his arms and sneered, "Those cunning fellows, are you worthy of my attack? Demon gods? They're just some insignificant little bugs."
Liuli also rolled her eyes: "You just talk big. Just rely on you to defeat the devil in your dream."
The red-haired man's eyes widened in anger upon hearing this. Flames suddenly erupted around him, and the temperature in the refining room instantly soared. The metal lines on the ground began to twist and deform. "Liuli! Believe it or not, I will refine you into a Liuli core right now!"
The chaotic energy around Luo Li surged out like a tide, instantly suppressing the fiery pressure of the red-haired man.
A dark golden rune appeared on her palm, and she gently pressed it on the Sun Devouring Cauldron. The cauldron trembled violently, and the phantom of the red-haired man was instantly pulled back into the cauldron, revealing only a flushed face as he shouted from the cauldron's mouth, "Luo Li! What's the point of your sneak attack? Let me out!"
Luo Li remained unmoved, the chaotic power condensed at her fingertips growing brighter and brighter. "If you continue to make such noise, you will sleep in the cauldron forever."
The red-haired man's shouting stopped abruptly, leaving only a few unwilling muffled sounds coming from the cauldron occasionally.
Liuli burst out laughing, then thought of something else: "By the way, Master, why don't you ask him about the whereabouts of the Moon Swallowing Pot and the Star Picking Plate? The three of them are all extremely powerful spiritual artifacts, and there is a sense of connection between the artifact spirits."
Luo Li's eyes flickered slightly, and her fingertips gently tapped the surface of the Sun Devouring Cauldron three times. She said in a deep voice, "Did you hear that? Tell me the whereabouts of the Moon Swallowing Pot and the Star Picking Plate."
A muffled vibration echoed from the cauldron, and the red-haired man's voice rang out in a deep, muffled voice: "Why should I tell you? I'm not your servant!"
Liuli stamped her feet in anger: "You!"
But Luo Li raised her hand to stop him.
Luo Li curled up the corners of her lips in a sneer, and the chaotic power in her palm suddenly turned into a chain and pierced into the runes on the cauldron.
The Sun Devouring Cauldron emitted a painful humming sound, and the scarlet-haired man's phantom was forced out again, veins bulging on his forehead. "Luo Li! Do you really want to fight me to the death?!"
"A fight to the bitter end?" The chains on Luo Li's fingertips suddenly tightened. "You're just a spirit. Without the Sun Devouring Cauldron, you can't even keep a trace of your soul. And I..."
Chaos energy surged around her. "I can refine you at any time and reshape the spirit in the cauldron. You know I can do it."
The red-haired man's arrogance instantly dissipated, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Alright! You're so cruel! The Moon Swallowing Pot was injured even more severely than I was back then, and it should still be hidden at the bottom of the Netherworld. The Star Picking Disk... The Star Picking Disk's whereabouts are unknown, but the last time I sensed it was near the Sky Rift."
Luo Li nodded slightly and loosened the chains.
The red-haired man immediately turned into a red light and hid back in the cauldron, refusing to show up again.
"The Abyss and the Sky Rift..." Luo Li muttered to himself, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes.
Both places are on the border of the continent, where space turbulence is rampant and are forbidden areas of the Continent of Gods.
The former is filled with life-devouring miasma, while the latter is a broken space with disordered time and space, where one can be doomed if not careful.
Luo Li narrowed her eyes slightly: "Are you sure?"
The Sun Devouring Cauldron's spirit said impatiently, "Of course. Now that the Sun Devouring Cauldron has recognized you as its master, there's no need for me to lie to you."
"But..." His tone returned to being lazy, "It's been ages since I last felt them, and now I'm not sure if they're still there."
Luo Li stood up and said, "That's easy. You, come with me."
The spirit of the Sun-Devouring Cauldron fell silent.
Luo Li curled her lips, "There's no point in hiding, you just go and do it."
"Master," Liuli said with some concern, "Those two places are even more mysterious than the Endless Sea. Are you going there now?"
Luo Li nodded. "That's right. There's still a year until the seal is broken. The situation after a year will definitely be very difficult. I have to get these two things within this year."
"Okay!" Liuli nodded, "I'll go with you!"
Luo Li narrowed her eyes and put the Sun-Devouring Cauldron into the Chaos Jade.
This time, she wasn't going alone.
Liuli followed her closely and said, "Master, do you want to go by yourself? Leave now?"
"No," Luo Li shook her head, "These two places are rare training grounds, so they certainly can't be wasted."
When she got outside, she sent a message to Feng Wuhen, Xie Shiyuan and others, explaining the whole story.
Bingdao said that if anyone was willing to go with him, he would not leave the city for three days.
During these three days, she will refine a large number of Saint King Pills, taking some away and leaving some for distribution.
Three days later, clouds of dust rose from the city gate.
Feng Wuhen was dressed in a dark-colored suit, and the longbow behind him was emitting a dazzling red light.
Xie Shiyuan was dressed in moon-white clothes and holding a sword in his hand.
The two arrived almost at the same time, their eyes met in the air, and they both raised their eyebrows slightly.
After a while, Wen Xingyan, Xuan Mu, Fu Yu, Qian Ren and Yin Feng also arrived at Buli City. The young masters of other forces were temporarily unable to leave due to some matters.
"Ali knows how to choose a place. The Nether Abyss and the Sky Rift are no joke." Feng Wuhen stroked the longbow in a low voice.
Xie Shiyuan chuckled, "The more dangerous the place, the more interesting it is. Maybe we can find some lost secret techniques."
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Li and Liu Li walked slowly out of the city.
The Chaos Jade emitted a soft light on her chest, and she could faintly hear the mumbling of the Sun-Devouring Cauldron's spirit.
Lan Xiaoxiao and Mu Ze followed her, while Song Wanbai, Luo Yuanxiu and others stayed in the city.
Luo Li swept her eyes over the crowd, her clear voice carrying an unquestionable firmness: "This journey is dangerous. If anyone regrets now, they can still withdraw."
Xuan Mu swung the sword at his waist, a hint of unruly smile on his lips, "Even if it means mountains of swords and seas of fire, I will go and give it a try."
Qianren crossed his arms, his armor gleaming with a cold light. "I'd like to confront those turbulent currents that can distort space and see if my sword is more powerful or they are more domineering."
Fu Yu gently shook the short blade in his hand: "Qian Ren and Yin Feng have already gathered a lot of information about the Sky Rift in the past two days. If we back out now, they will probably be looked down upon."
Upon hearing this, Qianren touched the short blade at his waist, while Yinfeng silently disappeared into the shadows, revealing only a pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle.
Luo Li chuckled, "Don't worry, since I let you go with me, I will definitely let you come back alive."
"By the way," Luo Li looked at Feng Wuhen, "Before I went into seclusion, I asked you to keep an eye on the You Clan. Has there been any unusual activity in the past two years?"
Feng Wuhen heard this and said, "No, ever since the Demon God Temple was sealed, the You Clan has been staying within their own sphere of influence and hasn't moved at all."
Luo Li frowned slightly. After such a long time, there was no news from An. Could something have happened?
But there was nothing unusual about the life card he left behind.
Well, after she comes back this time, if he still hasn't made any movement, she will go to the You Clan in person.
Feng Wuhen suddenly raised his hand, pointed his longbow towards the sky, and a crimson arrow pierced through the clouds: "Let's go!"
Everyone turned into streams of light and soared into the sky. Luo Li was the last one to rise into the air, and the light of the Chaos Jade shone brightly.
Three days later——
The dark abyss in the night is like a giant beast with its mouth wide open.
The thick, inky miasma was swirling around, and from time to time one could hear the shrill roars of magical beasts. The ground was glowing with a strange, dark blue light, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching from the dark.
Just as everyone landed on the edge, Liuli suddenly grabbed Luoli's sleeve and said, "Master, there's something in the miasma!"
Before he finished speaking, dozens of vines broke out of the ground, covered with barbs and emitting a blue-black poisonous mist.
Xie Shiyuan drew his sword, and the sword light was like a thread, instantly cutting the vines off, but smelly black blood gushed out from the broken ends and condensed into new vines.
"It's the blood vine!"
Luo Li's eyes flashed, dark gold runes flowed in her sleeves, a chaos seal appeared on her palm, and she slapped the blood vine heavily.
Wherever the power of chaos passed, the blood vines curled up and turned into ashes, but in the miasma in the distance, more blood vines surged like a surging black wave.
"These blood vines cannot be killed. They feed on miasma. We have to find the source!" As soon as Wen Xingyan finished speaking, Xuan Mu swung out the sword at his waist, and the sword energy shuttled between the blood vines like a dragon.
Fu Yu took light steps and repeatedly stabbed the joints of the blood vine with his short blade, trying to find a flaw.
Feng Wuhen pulled the longbow to its full extent, and a crimson arrow shot out from the air with a burning aura. Wherever the arrow reached, the blood vines were burned to charcoal, but new vines continued to emerge.
"This is not a solution!" Feng Wuhen frowned, sweat dripping down his chin.
Luo Li narrowed her eyes slightly but did not make a move. The strength of this blood vine was at the level of a Seven-Star Lord, and they could handle it.
Qianren suddenly shouted loudly, his aura surging. The sword in his hand turned into a brilliant silver light and slashed towards the direction where the blood vines were most densely packed. "Open it!"
The sword energy cut through a large area of blood vines, but it also exposed a huge black shadow hidden in the miasma.
It was a gigantic ancient tree that was a hundred feet tall. The surface of the trunk was covered with distorted human face patterns. Countless blood vines extended from the trunk like blood vessels. A blood-colored flower bloomed on the top of the tree, and a sickening fishy-sweet smell was emitted between the opening and closing of the petals.
"It's the Ancient Blood Miasma Tree!" The Sun-Devouring Cauldron's spirit's voice echoed within the Chaos Jade. "This creature has taken root deep within the Netherworld Abyss, absorbing miasma for countless years. It's extremely formidable! But how did it appear on the edge?"
Luo Li took a deep breath, and the chaotic energy around her surged wildly. She raised her hand and slapped the ancient blood miasma tree, but the ancient tree suddenly shook violently. The human face patterns on the trunk opened their mouths and let out shrill screams, which hurt everyone's eardrums.
She flicked her fingertips, and a wisp of chaotic energy wrapped around her eyebrows like a spirit snake, and dark golden runes flowed rapidly in her pupils.
Before the scream of the blood miasma ancient tree could fully erupt, thousands of chaotic divine chains suddenly bloomed in her palms. The chains were wrapped with world-destroying power and instantly enveloped the entire ancient tree like a spider web.
