Chapter 2133: Enter!
"She is Ao Guang?"Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment.
He had originally thought Ao Guang should be a man; he never expected it would actually be a little girl.
Whenever Ao Guang was mentioned, a trace of fear would unconsciously appear on Bai Shuang’s face.
"Mr. Zhou, this Ao Guang is a ruthless, vicious one. The lives on her hands are already beyond counting."
"Not to mention anything else—do you know what she used to cultivate that Four Ding Yuan Armor Technique?"
Zhou Yu asked curiously:
"What?"
"Evil Qi!"
"The Evil Qi on her body is terrifying."
Hearing this, Zhou Yu felt a jolt in his heart.
He hadn’t expected that this little girl who looked harmless to humans and animals would actually be so vicious.
He really had misjudged her.
However, judging from that woman’s gaze just now, she clearly hadn’t come with good intentions either.
Zhou Yu secretly let out a sigh. He and these people had never even met before, yet he had already become a thorn in their side, a thorn in their flesh.
Just then, Zhou Yu again felt a few familiar gazes.
Without even looking, he knew these gazes came from Zhu Tie and the others of the Tiger Roc Clan.
The Tiger Roc Clan’s intention to swallow the Golden Roc Clan was already as obvious as Sima Zhao’s heart; everyone could see it.
While everyone was silently waiting, suddenly several Elders stepped into the air.
Immediately after, they surrounded the Array of Talismanic Light in the sky. Each one activated their Primordial Power and struck toward the center of the Array of Talismanic Light.
The next moment, a Teleportation Channel manifested within the violently flickering Array of Talismanic Light.
At the same time, an aura filled with extreme oppression spread out from within the Teleportation Channel.
This aura gave people a creepy, hair-raising feeling.
Although they still didn’t know what lay on the other side of the Transmission Array, just from this aura alone they could conclude that the other side was definitely a barren land.
"All right."
"The Teleportation Channel has stabilized."
"Next, this old woman will announce the content of this trial."
The white-haired old woman from the Soul Abyss Pavilion took a step forward, overlooking all the Peng Clan Young Masters.
Hearing this, everyone stared fixedly at the old woman.
This concerned the concrete interests of the various Royal Families; it was what everyone would risk their lives fighting over, so no one was willing to miss a word.
"There is only one item in this assessment: you are to find something called Soul Void Grass within the Black Soul Abyss."
"In the Black Soul Abyss, the closer you get to the lower layers, the more Soul Void Grass there will be."
"Of course, you’re all familiar with the Black Soul Abyss—the lower you go, the more dangerous it is."
"Especially the lowest three layers. Even Integration Realm experts who enter will face slim chances of survival."
"So act within your limits."
"The time for this trial is a total of two months."
"After two months, whether or not you have obtained Soul Void Grass, you must immediately leave the Black Soul Abyss."
"If you remain inside, you will surely die; no one will be able to save you."
"All right, that’s all."
"You may set off now."
As soon as the old woman’s voice fell, several people from within the Peng Clan rose into the air and flew straight toward the Teleportation Channel, disappearing within it in the blink of an eye.
Immediately after, more and more people rushed in one after another.
Zhou Yu was in no hurry. He waited until most people had gone in, then led Lei Xin’er and Bai Shuang to rise into the air unhurriedly and enter the Teleportation Channel.
As for Zhu Tie and the others of the Tiger Roc Clan, upon seeing Zhou Yu enter, they closely followed and went in as well.
A short while later, the several hundred Peng Clan Young Masters had all entered.
...
After Zhou Yu and the others entered the Teleportation Channel, they immediately felt the surrounding aura change.
A chilling aura enveloped them in waves.
When they emerged from the Teleportation Channel, they found themselves in a gray, hazy space.
As far as the eye could see, there was no sign of life, only dead, ashen desolation everywhere.
There were no other Young Masters around.
It seemed the Transmission Array had randomly scattered them.
Then Zhou Yu looked up, only to see that the sky was likewise shrouded in dense gray fog. Neither his five senses nor his Divine Sense could penetrate it.
Upon arriving here, he could already tell how treacherous this environment was.
But at the same time, there was one advantage: in this gray, hazy space, once you hid yourself, it would be very hard for others to find you.
"Have you two been here before?"
Zhou Yu looked at Lei Xin’er and Bai Shuang.
Both of them shook their heads.
"No."
"But before we set off, the Clan Leader and the others already told us the general routes of the Black Soul Abyss."
Seeing this, Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Good."
"According to what that Elder said just now, if we want to find more Soul Void Grass, we should head to the lower layers."
"So we won’t waste time here; we’ll go straight down."
"You two, ready your Defense in case of any accidents."
Bai Shuang and Lei Xin’er both nodded.
"Okay."
"Then lead the way!"
Bai Shuang glanced at the surrounding environment and quickly determined a rough direction.
After that, the three of them began to move out.
Zhou Yu took the lead, his figure darting rapidly through the gray mist.
There was no expression on his face, only a pair of eyes in which gray light flickered nonstop.
Divine Sense wasn’t very useful here, but the Eye of Destruction worked wonders.
Through the Eye of Destruction, he could clearly see every movement within a radius of several kilometers.
After the three had traveled for about half a day, the gray mist around them suddenly began to thin and dissipate.
And within Zhou Yu and the others’ field of vision, a vast expanse of withered forest unexpectedly appeared.
All the trees in the forest looked as if they had withered.
But if one observed carefully, one would discover that these trees seemed to have been like this to begin with, not because of any external influence.
Such a bizarre sight was something Zhou Yu truly had never seen before.
At this moment, Bai Shuang spoke:
"This is it. This is one of the routes you have to pass through to reach the next layer."
"Compared to the other paths, this one is a bit farther."
Zhou Yu nodded, then began to study their surroundings.
Besides the withered forest, there were also some scattered monsters here.
However, those monsters backed away from them from afar as soon as they saw them.
This actually surprised Zhou Yu a little.
At this moment, Bai Shuang spoke up:
"There’s nothing strange about that."
"Because this is the topmost layer of the Black Soul Abyss, the Demon Beast Variants here are less affected by the underground soul energy, so most of them still have some Spiritual Wisdom left."
"But the lower you go, the more the Demon Beast Variants are affected by the underground soul energy, and their temperaments become extremely violent, with exceedingly strong aggression."
Hearing this, Zhou Yu nodded.
"Let’s go. We’ll head in and take a look."
With that, he took the lead and walked into the withered forest.
Just as he stepped into the forest, three gray shadows suddenly shot at him from a distant treetop like lightning.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu’s expression didn’t change in the slightest; he simply flicked his finger casually.
Three streaks of Thunder Light shot out.
Bang, bang, bang!
The three gray shadows were instantly annihilated by the Thunder Light.
Only then did Zhou Yu step forward to take a look...
