Chapter 978

Nine Abysses Vortex

Deep within the Nine Abysses Sea, every drop of water was as heavy as a mountain. Yet, both Luo Feng and the Howling Mirror King were fleeing and pursuing at their fastest possible speeds. "Daohe King, you can't escape." The Howling Mirror King roared excitedly and maniacally, "Hahaha, your escape ability is formidable! Your resistance to soul attacks is formidable! But I refuse to believe you can withstand my powerful physical attacks! Unless you possess a Supreme Treasure like a flying palace... Die!" "Boom!" The Howling Mirror King abruptly swung his sharp claw, and a terrifying, faintly gray stream of Divine Power shot directly towards Luo Feng, who was constantly changing direction erratically in the distance. "Not good," Luo Feng exclaimed in alarm. Although the Howling Mirror King followed the warrior path, releasing Divine Power attacks was a simple method. However, such methods were generally weaker in power. But the Howling Mirror King's Divine Power was already heaven-defying, and now he was burning it... Even with this weaker method, if that extremely concentrated Divine Power struck him, Luo Feng feared he would be finished. Supreme Treasures came in many forms. Like the Sirius Hall and the Star Tower, both belonged to the category of flying palaces. The 'Calamity Armor,' however, was a protective battle armor type. For true escape, Supreme Treasures like the Sirius Hall were more effective. As long as Luo Feng hid inside the Sirius Hall, even if enemies furiously bombarded it, they likely couldn't harm him. "Unfortunately, I don't have such a Supreme Treasure." Luo Feng maintained high-speed evasive maneuvers, each vibration of his Shi Wu Wings creating massive spatial turbulence. "Boom!" The pillar of Divine Power pierced through the endless seawater, then through the spatial turbulence, whistling past Luo Feng's left side. "I dodged it," Luo Feng secretly sighed in relief. By constantly maintaining high-speed evasive maneuvers, much like dodging bullets on Earth, it was genuinely difficult to be hit. "Hahaha, you dodged once, let's see how many more times you can dodge!" The Howling Mirror King laughed triumphantly via telepathy, "You truly don't have a flying palace-type Supreme Treasure, hahaha! Daohe King, you rely on your Supreme Treasure wings for escape, and a soul-type Supreme Treasure to resist soul attacks. But you lack a Supreme Treasure specifically for physical attacks. What a pity, what a pity, so you're doomed." Boom! Boom! Two consecutive pillars of Divine Power shot towards Luo Feng. They contained no insights into laws, relying solely on Divine Power comparable to a powerful Universe Venerable, and it was in a burning state! "My speed can't catch you, but can my Divine Power not catch you?" The Howling Mirror King's eyes were filled with madness. His strength far surpassed Luo Feng's, as if he were hunting a tiny ant. This ant was incredibly agile in its escape and possessed a soul-type Supreme Treasure, but with pure Divine Power, he could simply crush it... Unless Luo Feng had another Supreme Treasure like the Sirius Hall, he was certain to die! "Should I call back my Demon Killer Clan clone?" Luo Feng changed direction erratically. One pillar of Divine Power was dodged, but another grazed the edge of Luo Feng's wings, causing him to spin violently. He then continued to change direction and flee, his Shi Wu Wings fully unleashed to their limit. "Although the Demon Killer Clan clone possesses the innate secret technique 'Domain,' it can only move itself anywhere within the domain, not carry other life forms," Luo Feng mused. This was the limitation of the 'Domain.' Teleportation could carry other life forms, enveloping them to enter spatial fluctuations and instantly arrive at a distant location. The 'Domain' involved the Demon Killer Clan clone first completely transforming into a space tens of thousands of kilometers in diameter, merging with the original space, and then the space reverting back into the Demon Killer Clan clone! The Demon Killer Clan clone could transform into space. But Luo Feng's true body couldn't transform into space, unless... Luo Feng's true body entered a World Ring, and the Demon Killer Clan clone carried it, integrating it into its body. Only then would it work. But with the Howling Mirror King's pervasive Divine Power... there was no way Luo Feng's true body would get a chance to enter a World Ring. ... "Escaped again?" the Howling Mirror King chuckled telepathically. "You actually dodged twice in a row, hahaha! Those Supreme Treasure wings certainly make your escape ability strong. Let's see how you dodge this third time!" A hint of madness appeared in the Howling Mirror King's eyes, and at the same time, a surging wave of Divine Power began to condense. Divine Power only possessed immense might when condensed. If spread out over hundreds of millions of kilometers, the dispersed Divine Power would be very weak, only useful for reconnaissance and similar methods, but not for attack. The most condensed state of Divine Power simply formed a Divine Body. "Divine Power into threads!" "Cage!" The Howling Mirror King abruptly extended his sharp claw, and instantly, thousands of incredibly tough Divine Power threads streaked across the sky, chasing after Luo Feng. Each thread was in its most condensed state, comparable to the density of the Howling Mirror King's Divine Body... This single, simple move consumed a full 10% of the Howling Mirror King's Divine Body. From the beginning of the battle until now, all other moves combined had only consumed about 1% of his Divine Power, but this one move consumed 10%. Firstly, the quality of the Divine Power expended was extremely high, being in its most condensed state, and secondly, the quantity was immense, thousands of Divine Power threads... "You have nowhere to run!" The Howling Mirror King's eyes were filled with greed. Two Supreme Treasures! If he possessed these two life-saving and escape-enabling Supreme Treasures, he might even have hope of escaping a Universe Overlord. "Boom!" Suddenly, a massive vortex appeared out of nowhere in the deep Nine Abysses Sea. The vortex surged, its tearing force immense. Within it was a towering, blood-red figure with an incomparably burly physique and two curved, blood-colored horns. It let out a low growl, its roar echoing directly in the Howling Mirror King's mind: "Outsider, how dare you rampage in my clan's Nine Abysses Sea? Prepare to die." Boom! "What?" The Howling Mirror King turned his head, greatly alarmed. "A Nine Abysses Vortex! A powerful being from within the Nine Abysses Vortex?" He had only heard that the 'Nine Abysses Sea' was fraught with dangers, the most perilous of which was the Nine Abysses Vortex. But he never expected... this Nine Abysses Vortex to appear out of thin air, and for a Universe Venerable-level powerhouse to emerge from it. Especially sensing the immense power of its aura, it definitely had the capability to suppress the Howling Mirror King. "Boom!" A burning blood-red light directly enveloped the Howling Mirror King. "Scram!" The Howling Mirror King abruptly manipulated his Divine Power threads. Killing Luo Feng would be much easier; the true enemy was this powerhouse from the Nine Abysses Vortex. The thousands of Divine Power threads, which had consumed a full 10% of his Divine Body, instantly condensed into a long spear, thrusting towards the dazzling, burning blood-red light. Rumble! The two collided, seawater exploded, and undercurrents surged. Surprisingly, they were evenly matched. "Quite powerful," the Universe Venerable said in surprise. "Die." The Howling Mirror King, however, immediately opened his mouth and unleashed his innate secret technique. Silence! The surrounding seawater fell silent, and a soundless impact directly struck the Universe Venerable powerhouse from the Nine Abysses Vortex. "Hahaha, soul attacks are useless against my race!" The burly figure with blood-red horns roared and charged forward. "You can't do anything to me." The Howling Mirror King was fearless. In their brief exchange, he understood that he was slightly weaker than this 'powerhouse from the Nine Abysses Vortex.' His spear, condensed from thousands of threads, had consumed a full 10% of his Divine Body, while the opponent's attack likely only consumed about 1-2% of theirs. Yet, the two were evenly matched, and now soul attacks were ineffective. "No wonder they say that if you fall into the Nine Abysses Vortex, entering the core of the Nine Abysses Sea, even Universe Venerables rarely emerge alive. Anyone who pops out is this strong. Never mind him, though my strength isn't as great as his, my escape methods are probably superior." The Howling Mirror King turned and resumed his pursuit of Luo Feng. The burly figure with blood-red horns, in turn, chased the Howling Mirror King. Whoosh! Whoosh! The two were one after another. The Howling Mirror King was skilled at tracking and hunting, and his acceleration was indeed extremely fast. Even Luo Feng, using the second form of his Shi Wu Wings for a straight escape, couldn't match him. The burly figure with blood-red horns also had inferior acceleration compared to the Howling Mirror King. "I'll kill you, Daohe King, and then leave immediately." The Howling Mirror King pursued Luo Feng, and with another swing of his claw, a large number of Divine Power threads began to condense. "I'll risk it all." Seeing this, Luo Feng immediately disregarded everything else, gritted his teeth, flapped his wings, and charged directly towards the Nine Abysses Vortex. Luo Feng truly had no other choice. Previously, he was lucky that the blood-red horned figure appeared at a critical moment, forcing the Howling Mirror King to first use his Divine Power threads to deal with that immense threat. But this time... the Howling Mirror King clearly knew he wasn't a match for the one behind him and was now fully focused on killing Luo Feng. "Rumble~~~" The Nine Abysses Vortex's tearing force was incredibly astonishing, and its suction power was equally extreme. As soon as Luo Feng rushed into it, he was sucked deep inside. ... "No!!!" The Howling Mirror King had just condensed his Divine Power threads when he saw Daohe King charge into the Nine Abysses Vortex, and he roared in furious indignation. He was powerful. But he absolutely dared not venture into the 'Nine Abysses Vortex.' Luo Feng was forced into a corner, seeking survival in death. But the Howling Mirror King had full capability to escape; why would he dare to enter the most terrifying 'Nine Abysses Vortex' in the entire Nine Abysses spacetime? "What a pity for those two Supreme Treasures, my two Supreme Treasures!" the Howling Mirror King roared in his heart, then immediately shot into the sky. Boom! Soon, the Howling Mirror King directly broke through the seawater and soared towards the heavens. "Outsider!" Amidst the surging waves, the blood-red horned figure stepped on the water, looked up at the sky, and watched the Howling Mirror King disappear with a teleport. It grinned ferociously, "You were quick to escape." Immediately after, the blood-red horned figure returned to the deep sea. A moment later, it arrived at the Nine Abysses Vortex and directly plunged into it... disappearing from sight. In the seawater. Only then did Ziya Venerable appear, secretly watching the scene, his eyes filled with shock: "They say the Nine Abysses Vortex leads to the core of the Nine Abysses Sea. It seems a group of terrifying powerhouses must live there. The one who just emerged is stronger than me. And they seem to be a race unafraid of soul attacks." "What a pity, that human Daohe King also entered the Nine Abysses Vortex. If he dies, his Supreme Treasures will likely be lost in that core region." "But at least, they didn't fall into the Howling Mirror King's hands." A glint of cold light flashed in Ziya Venerable's eyes as he looked at the distant Nine Abysses Vortex. Although it had appeared out of thin air earlier, it remained present now, likely to persist for a long time... And the endless void deep within the Nine Abysses Vortex held a strange allure, making Ziya Venerable want to enter. "How terrifying." Ziya Venerable instantly snapped out of it, glancing fearfully at the Nine Abysses Vortex. "A method to create a teleportation channel out of thin air, and it's not even a God Kingdom teleportation. This, this is simply... truly worthy of being the most dangerous place in the Nine Abysses spacetime." He immediately flickered, silently teleported, and completely vanished.
