Chapter 501: Malevolence!
The sudden words spoken by the woman in red attire caused a slight astonishment among those present.
This unholy object… it is actually targeting the Supreme God?
Upon finishing her words, Lian Cangqing, feeling slightly taken aback, experienced a sense of overlooked indignation.
Beside him, Ao Tianxing burst into hearty laughter, adding fuel to the fire. "Old witch, your self-delusion has been utterly disregarded! Hahaha…"
Ao Tianxing burst into laughter, while Lian Cangqing furrowed her brows and swiftly retaliated by delivering a palm strike towards the savage dragon.
However, as the black and white Qi dispersed and the intangible palm force was about to descend, a mass of black and white aura flew out from behind Ao Tianxing, intercepting the resentful palm strike on his behalf.
In the distance, the silver-haired girl with beast-like ears in the void also expressed a similar state of astonishment.
"Invite me?" She furrowed her brows as she gazed at the enigmatic figure of the woman in red and asked, "Invite me for what purpose?"
The little girl asked a meaningless question.
Because the purpose of this malevolent entity in the Cangwu Abyss, for which people are summoned, is widely known to the world.
As long as one is targeted by this malevolent entity, regardless of their formidable cultivation or profound mastery, they are inevitably subjected to a tragic fate of soul detachment and wretched, woeful demise.
However, the present Supreme God Lu Ai is ultimately recognized as the preeminent figure within the Heavenly Court, the strongest among the Four Seas. In the past, those who were targeted by malevolent entities were not as resilient as her.
Therefore, people began to wonder, when confronted with this mysterious and inexplicable entity from the Cangwu Abyss, whether the Supreme God could withstand its presence.
Beyond the distant clouds, the Candle Dragon cast a sidelong glance at Lu Heng and said, "My dear friend, won't you take action? Your most beloved disciple has caught the attention of the malevolent entity."
Lu Heng rolled his eyes and was about to speak.
At this moment, the crimson-clad woman responded to Lu Ai (Xiao Ai), uttering a horrifying statement that left everyone present in shock and disbelief.
"Accompany me to the Cangwu Abyss, and you shall have the chance to meet your master, Lu Heng."
The nonchalant remark of the crimson-clad woman caused all the top cultivators present to lose their composure.
Even the perpetually aloof and arrogant Demon King Sun Yan couldn't help but lift his head and reveal an expression of disbelief.
"Ancestral Master?!" The young man in white suddenly looked up, tightly fixating his gaze upon the crimson-clad woman in the void, and asked, "Do you know the whereabouts of our Ancestral Master?"
The demons within the Arctic Skyark Palace were even more horrified, experiencing a chilling shock that made their scalps tingle.
Heavenly Lord Lu Heng… That legendary and dreadful entity, is it possible that he is still alive?
Even though that Heavenly Lord didn't accomplish any earth-shattering feats during his active period, he departed without leaving a trace. Yet, his disciples have already reached the pinnacle of the Celestial Desolation Realm, and the various rumors surrounding them have only grown more intense over the course of four thousand years.
Although he didn't put forth serious effort back then, the more this was the case, the more terrifying and dreadful that figure appeared.
But it was precisely this mysterious and formidable Heavenly Lord Lu Heng who disappeared without a trace four thousand years ago, vanished as if into thin air…
When all the people present looked at the woman in the red dress, their expressions changed subtly.
Because upon careful consideration, the timing of the disappearance of that malevolent entity beneath Cangwu Abyss and the Heavenly Lord's vanishing point, were nearly in the same era, with only a few hundred years separating them…
And when this malevolent entity reappears thousands of years later, it will be a critical moment for the disciples under the Heavenly Lord's tutelage, where they will turn against each other…
By Lu Heng's side, Candle Dragon and Jiu Mie stared at him with an eerie gaze. Lu Heng felt increasingly uneasy under their scrutinizing gaze.
"What are you all looking at me for?" Lu Heng exclaimed. "Could it be that you still suspect a connection between the malevolent entity beneath Cangwu Abyss and myself?"
Candle Dragon chuckled and stroked his beard as he said, "I didn't say that; it was you, my good friend."
Jiu Mie nodded and testified, "Indeed, I testify that Candle Dragon, my good friend, didn't say such things. It was you, Old Wolf, who admitted it yourself."
"I…" Lu Heng rolled his eyes and fell silent, rendered speechless.
And in the distant sky, the small girl with silver hair and animal ears, after a long silence, finally spoke up.
"Do you know where the ancestral master is?" Xiao Ai stared fixedly at the enigmatic woman in the red garment and inquired, "Why would going with you to Cangwu Abyss lead me to meet the ancestral master?"
The question from the little girl drew everyone's attention towards the woman in the red garment.
Even Lu Heng and the other two couldn't help but look over, waiting for the woman in red to respond.
And despite all the gazes fixed upon her, the woman in the red garment simply responded coldly, "Lu Heng has indeed returned to the Celestial Desolation Realm, but he remains hidden in the shadows. If I were to take you away, he would undoubtedly come to Cangwu Abyss to rescue you. Then, you will be able to see your master."
The casual remark from the woman in the red garment made the many demons suddenly realize, yet also filled them with a chilling sense of astonishment.
That terrifying and enigmatic figure, Heavenly Lord Lu Heng, has actually returned to the Celestial Desolation Realm?!
Doesn't that mean it's the doomsday of the demonic path?!
Even the Nine Phoenix behind the white-clad youth couldn't help but be slightly surprised at this moment, as if recalling the unpleasant experience from years ago.
On the other hand, the righteous path stands in stark contrast.
Behind Xiao Ai, the ten or so heavenly gods all had expressions of excitement.
Among them, Gu Yan and Fei Yi were particularly delighted.
However, soon people discovered something amiss.
Because amidst this chaotic situation, the silver-haired girl with beastly ears no longer uttered a word.
She stood there coldly, bearing the Almighty Heavenly Thunder Sword that shook the world, yet remained silent, her gaze fixed tightly upon the crimson-clad woman in the distant void.
And after that enigmatic smile, the crimson-clad woman unexpectedly started to become transparent, gradually fading away.
Meanwhile, the vitality that belonged to Lu Ai, began to gradually fade away.
Upon witnessing this scene, Gu Yan and the others grew anxious, hastily examining the condition of the Supreme God, only to discover that the silver-haired girl with beastly ears had become motionless, her eyes vacant, devoid of any trace of soul.
The Supreme God Lu Ai, who had shaken the four seas and personally established the Heavenly Court of Frost Feather, inexplicably lost her very soul!
This scene not only shocked the celestial beings, but also sent shivers down the spines of numerous demons below.
That is none other than Supreme God Lu Ai!
Heavenly Lord Lu Heng's esteemed disciple, the wielder of the Heavenly Thunder Sword! A paragon of unrivaled talent surpassing both ancient and modern times, possessing strength that towers above an entire era!
But even she cannot withstand the sinister methods of that demonic entity lurking beneath the Cangwu Abyss?
Who in this world can withstand the atrocities inflicted by that malevolent creature!
The cultivators trembled in fear, while the three ancient ferocious beasts that surrounded them had an eerie gleam in their eyes, as if they had realized something. As they locked gazes with each other, their expressions grew mysteriously peculiar.
Upon seeing the scene beyond the clouds, Lu Heng was startled and swiftly exclaimed, "I apologize for the trouble, my dear friends!"
As the words resonated, Lu Heng immediately transformed himself into a thunderous radiance, swiftly darting towards the southwest like a brilliant streak of light, heading directly towards the Cangwu Abyss!
Xiao Ai's soul was actually spirited away right under his very nose? And he remained completely oblivious to it?
If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, he could hardly believe it!
As Lu Heng moved forward, Candle Dragon and Jiu Mie, who stood behind him, exchanged a glance as they watched the thunderous radiance vanish in an instant beyond the horizon.
Helplessly, they said, "It seems that we have to toil laboriously."
"Sigh… I hope Old Wolf manages smoothly."
Candle Dragon and Jiu Mie exchanged glances, both filled with deep concern.
Even now, they couldn't help but feel a sense of fear towards the eerie creature lurking in the Cangwu Abyss.
What kind of mystical power is that strange and inexplicable soul-binding technique! It is simply impossible to defend against!
