Chapter 2730: Chapter 2730: The Abyss

The eight Immortal Emperors split into four groups, heading in different directions to search for the traces of the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor in the Demon Realm.

Fang Bai decided to group the Bixie Immortal Emperor, the Azure Dragon Immortal Emperor, and the Lightning Mink together because they had recently ascended to the Emperor Realm and their strength was slightly inferior to the other Immortal Emperors. Should they encounter the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor, forming a formation would be their only hope to contend with him.

Although Fang Bai had trained in the Demon Realm more than once, he had not traversed the entire realm and was far less familiar with it compared to the Immortal Realm.

The Heaven Devouring Great Emperor was extremely cunning and was equally adept in the Array Path. Therefore, after unifying the Demon Realm, it was not easy to find where he established his lair.

Fang Bai advanced continuously, releasing his Divine Sense to investigate, from the periphery to the depths of the Demon Realm, covering billions of miles.

Along the way, he saw that many Demon Cities, once populated by numerous powerful members of the Demon Clan, had become desolate and barren.

In some Demon Cities, the corpses of powerful Demon Clan members were scattered, dry and withered like old bark, clearly drained of blood, a ghastly sight.

In one Demon City, Fang Bai caught a trace of the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor’s aura, confirming that the horrific scenes he had witnessed were indeed his doing.

"The Heaven Devouring Great Emperor is frantically consuming blood; it seems he’s not far from breaking through to the Great Emperor Realm. If I don’t find him soon, I will have to return to the Emperor’s Palace to cultivate in seclusion, hoping to ascend to the Great Emperor Realm before him."

Fang Bai was worried that the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor might reach the Great Emperor Realm before him, causing him considerable anxiety.

After searching across the Demon Realm for several months without locating the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor’s lair, Fang Bai was becoming disheartened when he suddenly received a message from the Great Luo Immortal Emperor.

Fang Bai thought the Great Luo Immortal Emperor might have made a surprising discovery and immediately tore through the void, rushing to their side as quickly as possible.

Soon after, other Immortal Emperors who received the message also arrived one by one.

"What did you find?"

Suppressing his excitement, Fang Bai asked.

The Great Luo Immortal Emperor pointed ahead and said, "A few days ago, I captured an injured strongman from the Demon Clan and used the Soul Capture Technique to control his consciousness, discovering the location of the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor’s lair."

Many of the Emperor’s Palace Immortals, including the Great Luo Immortal Emperor, had learned the Soul Capture Technique taught by Fang Bai, a secret technique capable of controlling consciousness, which sometimes proved greatly advantageous.

"According to the Demon Clan strongman, the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor’s lair was originally home to over a million powerful Demon Clan members, but recently, the Great Emperor, in a frenzy, relentlessly consumed their blood, not even sparing some of his trusted aides."

"After this news spread, the million strong Demon Clan members in the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor’s lair started to disperse to avoid becoming his cultivation sacrifices."

The Great Luo Immortal Emperor spoke with a heavy heart, continuing, "The captured Demon Clan strongman said that recently, the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor’s aura has surged with an incredibly frightening pressure, seemingly nearing the breakthrough to a higher realm."

"Indeed..."

Fang Bai thought to himself, as he had previously suspected, the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor was consuming a massive amount of blood from powerful Demon Clan members because he was nearing the edge of the Great Emperor Realm and wanted to make the final leap with their blood.

"Hope we can find the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor and completely eradicate him; otherwise, he will be a great threat in the future!"

Fang Bai said, signaling for the Great Luo Immortal Emperor to lead the way. The eight Immortal Emperors, separated by thousands of miles, connected through Divine Sense, rushed toward the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor’s lair ahead.

Fang Bai decided that this time, if they discovered the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor’s traces, they would pursue him across the Three Realms and finish him off.

This was an unnamed abyss stretching hundreds of thousands of miles. When Fang Bai and the other Immortal Emperors probed with their Divine Sense, the abyss was dark and cold, unfathomably deep.

When their Divine Sense reached four or five thousand zhang deep, it was blocked by an invisible barrier, preventing further descent.

"This must be the place."

Fang Bai knew that in all the Three Realms, only the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor could block his Divine Sense, indicating that the bottom of this abyss was likely where the Great Emperor’s lair was located.

"Let’s go!"

Fang Bai transmitted to the other seven Immortal Emperors. The eight of them concealed their presence, wielded Emperor’s Instruments, and descended toward the bottom of the abyss.

The abyss was unbearably cold, dark to the extreme, with a hostile environment, but fortunately, Fang Bai and the others were at the Immortal Emperor Realm, unafraid of cold and darkness, undeterred by such an environment.

However, to be safe, they formed a Defense Qi Shield, drawing closer to each other to provide mutual assistance in case of unforeseen events.

Descending thousands of zhang into the abyss, they discovered a Defense Qi Shield formed by Demonic Qi, blocking their path.

"Let me..."

Fang Bai examined the Defense Qi Shield with keen interest, realizing that it was a highly advanced Defensive Array set by the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor, which even he couldn’t break instantly.

After all, the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor was once an expert in the Great Emperor Realm, even the Divine Realm, with a profound understanding and comprehension of the Array Path, possibly surpassing Fang Bai. However, his current cultivation was on par with Fang Bai’s; although he had methods for laying out several Divine Formations, he couldn’t do it without a shred of Divine Power.

Even so, the formation he laid at the bottom of the abyss still posed a significant challenge to Fang Bai.

In the eyes of other Emperor Realm Experts like the Great Luo Immortal Emperor, Fang Bai’s formations were unmatched; no Immortal Array in the Immortal Realm could restrain him. However, at this moment, facing the Defensive Array set by the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor, Fang Bai was deep in thought and failed multiple attempts.

They observed from a distance, refraining from disturbing Fang Bai while maintaining vigilance, ready to respond if strongmen from the Demon Clan appeared suddenly.

"Got it!"

After pondering for a while, an enlightened look appeared on Fang Bai’s face. His hands danced as he continuously formed Array Runes, striking them onto the Qi Shield beneath him.

The Array Runes he created were brilliantly complex and perfectly unrivaled. Although the Great Luo Immortal Emperor prided himself on being proficient in formations, he couldn’t understand the Array Runes formed by Fang Bai’s hands.

What he didn’t know was that after practicing the Chaos Emperor Technique and the Emperor Extinction Fist, Fang Bai gained a new understanding of the Immortal Technique Secrets at the Great Emperor Realm. This sudden realization allowed him to conceive methods for creating and deciphering formations far beyond his previous capabilities.

The Array Runes formed by his hands were specifically realized for breaking the formation beneath.

One by one, Array Runes condensed from Fang Bai’s hands and were slammed onto the Qi Shield below.

With each Array Rune impacting, the Qi Shield quivered, gradually forming cracks.

"Hey!"

Suddenly, Fang Bai shouted, slamming the final Array Rune onto the Qi Shield. A cracking sound was heard, and the Qi Shield shattered with a bang.
