Chapter 337 - 181: A Single Sword Strike Breaks the Barrier, Suppressing the Heavenly Abyss

These guys are really good at hiding.

If he hadn’t guessed wrong before, the Demon Fiends were hiding beneath the Abyssal Forbidden Land. But now it seemed it wasn’t that simple.

If they were only hiding beneath the Abyssal Forbidden Land, the Demon Shadow Tracking Disc’s power would have long since pinpointed their exact location!

But right now, it couldn’t sense their specific location. The only thing it could confirm was that...

The Demon Fiends were indeed in the Silent Extinction Abyss!

As long as they were here, things would be much easier.

If he investigated piece by piece, he would definitely be able to drag them out!

At this thought, a cold glint flashed in Ye Xuantian’s eyes. He then said, "Brother Shen, the Demon Fiends are here in the Silent Extinction Abyss. We need to keep heading down so the Demon Shadow Tracking Disc can get a better read on their location!"

Shen Qing nodded slightly in understanding. The two then descended, flying swiftly through the dark abyss. In the center of the Demon Shadow Tracking Disc in Ye Xuantian’s hand, the piece of dark red, vibrant Demon Fiend flesh was now emitting a scarlet glow.

...

Silent Extinction Abyss.

In the central region, beneath an extremely deep Abyssal Forbidden Land, countless writhing, Profound Mysterious Inscriptions formed a world-spanning Barrier.

Below the Barrier, in the deep darkness, a pitch-black spatial vortex hovered in mid-air—the entrance to the Demon Fiend Secret Realm.

Within the Secret Realm, a crimson blood moon hung high in the sky, casting down countless scarlet rays that made the endless, pitch-black night seem even more sinister.

From the darkness, a Demon Fiend that looked like a tiger, with the character for "King" inscribed on its forehead, a ferocious face, and a height of thirty feet, spoke in a grave, deep voice. Its body contained an endless, terrifying Demon Qi. "Everyone, those two Tongxuan are approaching us!"

"This is definitely not just a simple passing by. We might have been exposed!"

The Nether Tiger’s voice echoed in the darkness, followed by a moment of silence.

"It seems so!"

"If they’ve really found us, then we’ll have no choice but to send them on their way!"

In the darkness, another Demon Fiend spoke. It was covered in deep, magnificent scales, with a sinister, vulture-like face and narrow eyes. A scarlet glint flashed in its pupils, and the astonishing chill it exuded caused the temperature within the Demon Fiend space to drop.

"Xue Ying is right.

If we’re going to fight, this old bull will be the first to charge!

I’ll make sure they never return!"

The Celestial Bull, with its towering frame, simple and honest face, ox horns, and eyes like copper bells, let out a resounding voice. Its body contained a boundless, ocean-like Demon Qi.

"That’s right!"

"For the Demon Lord’s grand plan,

we Demon Fiends must do what is necessary and slaughter both of them!!"

From the darkness, the hoarse, deep voices of two more Demon Fiends rang out.

Who would have thought that within a Secret Realm in a small Abyssal Forbidden Land, there were five King Demon Fiends of the Tongxuan Realm.

"Since we’re preparing to strike, let’s get ready.

It’s time to put the Arrays we’ve prepared all these years to use!" A scarlet glint flashed in Xue Ying’s eyes as he spoke, his voice laced with killing intent.

...

Silent Extinction Abyss.

In the void of the abyss, a labyrinth of endless chasms, two figures flew swiftly yet smoothly.

The light from the Hexagonal Prism Plate in Ye Xuantian’s palm grew brighter and brighter. Finally, as the two flew closer to the center of the Silent Extinction Abyss, a cold glint suddenly flashed in Ye Xuantian’s deep, starlit eyes.

His gaze shot toward a dark part of the abyss, piercing through layer after layer of gloom until he saw the Barrier Array covered in Profound Mysterious Inscriptions. A pleased sound escaped him:

"Found it!"

Hearing this, Shen Qing jolted. He followed Ye Xuantian’s gaze, his own sight piercing through the void to the depths of the Abyssal Forbidden Land. When he saw the Barrier, covered in Profound Mysterious Inscriptions that writhed like a spider’s web and pulsed with a dense Demon Qi, Shen Qing smiled. "Yes, we’ve found it."

"If I’m not mistaken, beneath that Barrier Array, there should be a spatial Secret Realm that serves as the Demon Fiends’ base."

"Brother Ye, we’re about to strike it rich!"

’A Demon Fiend base... that certainly means there’s more than just one of them. It seems we really are about to strike it rich.’

"Not a single one of these damn Demon Fiends is getting away!" Shen Qing’s voice was filled with extreme killing intent. The Sword Intent surging around him caused the very void to fracture.

"Brother Ye, watch Old Qing here break this Barrier with a single strike!" A flash of sword light glinted in Shen Qing’s eyes, making them seem like sharp blades that could pierce the heavens. He unleashed his full Tongxuan Realm Late Stage Cultivation. A Heaven-Reaching Sword Intent erupted from his body, soaring into the sky and dominating the nine heavens. The very clouds and winds changed color in its presence!

The moment the ultimate Sword Intent burst forth, it directly triggered a celestial phenomenon. Beneath the dim sky, the faint phantom of a Vast Sword River appeared, as if it had traveled through the void from beyond the cosmos to suddenly descend upon this world!

"Sever!!"

Following Shen Qing’s command, the phantom of the Vast Sword River in the void fully materialized. It stretched across heaven and earth like a river of stars, carrying with it a supreme Sword Intent. It poured down from the nine heavens, tearing through layers of space and radiating endless starlight as it descended, blanketing everything as it slashed toward the Barrier beneath the Abyssal Forbidden Land!

’This old fellow’s Sword Intent is quite refined. He’s close to touching the threshold of the Sword Domain,’ Ye Xuantian thought, watching from the side. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes as he praised him inwardly.

BOOM!!!

The terrifyingly powerful Vast Sword River plunged down from the nine heavens, striking the Barrier covered in Profound Mysterious Inscriptions in an instant. A world-shaking explosion erupted. The surrounding space was immediately torn apart by the fearsome Sword Intent, revealing an endless darkness so profound you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face, from which a terrifying astral wind surged forth.

The terrifying aftershock of energy directly annihilated the surrounding abyss cliffs, turning them to dust.
