From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 408 The Thing Under the Seal
Xiling City sits on the edge of a mountain cliff. The ruined city still has a rugged outline, and in the twilight, it looks like a lurking beast, waiting for its prey to walk into its trap.

The ruins looked particularly eerie under the moonlight, with dark red vines climbing the broken stone pillars and a stench of decay permeating the air.

Some of the vines seemed to be slowly wriggling, as if they were alive, filled with the aura of the abyss.

After entering Xiling City, the Blue-blooded Perceptor in the team will lead the way to find the seal beneath the ruins.

The blue-blooded man ventured deep into Xiling City, unleashing his senses. After a dozen minutes, he located the seal and led his team to the very center of Xiling City.

Due to the rescue efforts of that era, the surrounding buildings had collapsed, leaving only ruins that buried the seal.

"It's right down there. We need to move these rocks first," the blue-blooded man pointed to the ground.

"Move the stone away," the Pharaoh commanded in Elvish, looking at Redbeard.

Redbeard stepped forward, picked up the rubble, and with a forceful throw, tossed it dozens of meters away, making a loud thud as it hit the ground.

The blue-blooded man leaned against a broken pillar and quipped, "Even our ancient Roman nobles had to do manual labor."

Redbeard had just picked up a broken pillar when he heard this, and suddenly turned around and hurled it at the blue-blooded man.

The blue-blooded man curled his lips into a mocking smile, flipped his hand, and produced a Sykes electromagnetic kinetic energy gun, pulling the trigger immediately.

Bang!
The electromagnetic bullet shattered the pillar, exploding into a shower of rubble with a loud "bang".

"You are still as irritable as ever, and you look down on the calmness and composure of the nobility."

Redbeard turned around and continued clearing away the stones, sneering, "You better not let me find out your real identity, or I'll definitely crush you."

Since Redbeard's number in the Creator's organization is 019, while Blueblood's is 017, according to organizational discipline, the earlier the number, the higher the status.

Therefore, the blue-blooded person ranks above the red-bearded person in the team, so he can tease him at will.

After entering the sealed area, Ke Yiming stopped speaking.

The blue-blooded man turned to look at him and asked, "Two days ago, I tried to communicate with you, but you didn't respond."

Ke Yiming glanced at him expressionlessly and replied firmly, "Try stealing something from the elven capital city."

He didn't explain the matter; in this situation, the more he explained, the more problematic it seemed. A firm rebuttal would only make him appear more confident.

While the two were arguing, Redbeard had already cleared away the rubble on the ground, revealing an ancient altar.

The Pharaoh raised his hand to stop the two men from arguing, then took out three statues of the commanders of the anti-demon alliance and said, "Shut up, and put the statues up there."

The three men, Blue Blood Man, Red Beard, and Ke Yiming, each carried a statue and walked to the three corners of the altar, placing them on their respective bases.

When Ke Yiming placed the statue, he seemingly casually observed the blue-blooded man, because he suspected that the other party had become suspicious of him, so he had to be more careful.

After placing it, Redbeard looked around and, seeing no change in the altar, asked in confusion, "Why isn't there any reaction?"

The Pharaoh circled the array patterns on the ground, took out a magic wand, and brushed away the dust covering the patterns to reveal the complete array diagram.

After looking around for a while, he found a key point in the array. He took out a crystal core, threw it into the recess of the key point, and then swung his magic wand down hard.

Bang!
The crystal core shattered, releasing a burst of energy that instantly illuminated the sealing array.

The bases of the three statues began to rotate, facing the center, and the magical artifacts in the statues' hands emitted purple light, focusing on the center of the formation.

The entire magic circle lit up with a dark purple light, the ground began to tremble, and the ground in the center of the square slowly cracked open, revealing a dark hole.

After the ground began to shake, the five people present started to back away, their faces showing vigilance.

Ke Yiming retreated the furthest and began to look around.

Of the five people here, only he knew that this plan was a trap.

The elves are definitely lying in ambush all around, and once the two sides clash, that will be his only chance to escape.

As the ground cracked open, the sealed mouth of the Moon Well was revealed.

A chilling aura surged from the ground, and wisps of black mist billowed from the cave entrance.

These black mists seemed to be alive, twisting and contorting into all sorts of grotesque shapes in the air.

Such dense, turbid air from the abyss, if it were to invade the human body, would certainly cause physical deformities.

The Creator organized this raiding party to seize profits by any means necessary, but they did not want to become monstrous, so they continued to retreat, avoiding the black mist.

The appearance of the black mist was just the appetizer. Immediately afterwards, streams of black, viscous liquid rolled out of the cave entrance and spread in all directions.

Bubbles rose on the surface of the viscous liquid, and black mist spread outwards.

The Pharaoh looked at the four and asked, "Who will go down to find the dragon's tooth?"

Dark Star glanced at Ke Yiming and said, "Whoever gets it, it belongs to them?"

The Pharaoh was on a mental enhancement path, so he didn't have much need for swords. He casually agreed, "At the same time, retrieve the remains of that elven swordsman, and the Dragon Fang will be yours."

“Very well, this sword is mine.” Shadow glanced at Ke Yiming, rushed forward, and plunged into the Moon Well.

Ke Yiming had initially made a move to walk forward and lure Anxing inside, but immediately stopped in his tracks.

Suddenly, a silver light ripped through the night sky, and a dense rain of arrows shot down from the cliffs of the mountain range.

The blue-blooded man immediately sensed something was wrong and shouted, "An ambush!"

The elven arrows rained down, but the Pharaoh quickly erected a magical barrier to block them.

Redbeard took out a giant axe and swung it to chop down the arrows.

The elves appeared on the mountain range, led by Tyrese, and charged towards Xiling City.

Lu Heng's team of four also arrived.

The Azure Phoenix soared through the sky, and Lu Heng leaped off its back, charging into the battlefield one after the other with Tyrese.

The battle is about to break out.

The four raiders drew their weapons to fight, but the Pharaoh clearly sensed something was wrong.

The sudden appearance of the elven guards was clearly an ambush, and their large numbers made a direct confrontation extremely disadvantageous for them.

Fortunately, after Tyrese, Fiona, and Lu Heng rushed into the battlefield, the elven archers on the cliff stopped shooting, relieving them of the pressure of resisting the rain of arrows.

Although the elven forces that had laid an ambush were numerous, this operation was far from easy.

Because after the seal was broken, the source of the abyss pollution surged out from underground. Compared to dealing with this raiding party, the Elven race needed to focus more on purifying the source of the abyss pollution.

The druids and arcane legions, led by Elder Therien of the Forest, were responsible for preventing the spread of the abyss's pollution.

He raised his vine staff high, chanting ancient incantations, releasing natural energy that transformed into a rain of light that collided with the polluted black mist of the abyss, producing a hissing sound.

The Arcane Legion casts arcane spells, forming a barrier to intercept the outward spread of abyssal contamination.

The nature messengers brought by Serene scattered golden tree seeds around the perimeter.

Su Muyu descended from the sky, releasing the Tree of Life vines and unleashing natural energy to help the Golden Tree Species grow.

Golden tree saplings sprouted from the ground at a visible speed, growing into trees that formed a circle, creating a forest barrier to prevent the pollution sources in the abyss from spreading outwards.

……

On the battlefield, the fighting grew increasingly fierce. The Pharaoh brandished his wand, summoning abyssal demons from the source of the abyssal corruption, which charged towards the elven warriors.

Redbeard wielded his giant axe, each strike carrying the power to split mountains and shatter rocks.

Tyrese kept a close eye on the situation at the bottom of the Moonwell, because the assassin from the raiding party known as "Dark Star" had already jumped into the Moonwell.

He was worried that his teacher's body would be desecrated.

Lu Heng noticed his worry and offered, "You go in with him. I'll take care of things here."

“Alright!” Tyrese did not hesitate and plunged into the Moon Well.

Lu Heng's sword flashed like lightning as he faced the Pharaoh and Redbeard alone, while also dealing with the demonic soldiers emerging from the source of the abyss's pollution.

Even so, they were not at a disadvantage in the slightest.

Ke Yiming stood at a distance, avoiding the fight. He was in a very awkward situation. Even if Old Wang didn't know that the ambush was because of his betrayal, he would definitely be suspicious once he realized what was going on.

Therefore, if he wants to save his life, he can't help either side.

As he secretly observed the situation, he noticed that the Pharaoh's gaze kept sweeping over him, and he knew that he had been suspected.

"025, stop him!" Pharaoh suddenly gave the order to Ke Yiming, pointing at Lu Heng.

Ke Yiming knew this was a test, and also a signal that he wanted to withdraw. He didn't want to be abandoned as a pawn, so instead of stopping Lu Heng, he retreated.

"Do you want to betray the organization?" The Pharaoh's voice was chilling.

Ke Yiming continued to back away without responding to him.

At this point, no further explanation is needed.

A cold glint flashed in the Pharaoh's eyes. He ordered Redbeard to stop Lu Heng, then leaped backward, brandished his wand, and cast a spell to open a portal.

The portal opened very quickly. Lu Heng tried to stop it, but Redbeard blocked him, and the portal was already formed.

The next instant, Lu Heng released Void Flash, his figure disappeared from the original spot, crossed a distance of 40 meters, and appeared next to the spatial gate.

After opening the portal, the Pharaoh did not intend to wait for the other members of the raiding party to pass through the portal together, and prepared to leave first.

However, before he could even enter the portal, a sword was already blocking his way.

Lu Heng had obtained information from Ke Yiming beforehand, knowing that the Pharaoh King had the ability to teleport multiple times, so after getting close, he did not intend to give him any chance and directly threw out the [Spatial Imprisonment Orb].

While releasing the [Spatial Imprisonment Orb], he charges up his power, preparing to unleash a spatial combo.

The Pharaoh knew beforehand that Lu Heng possessed the [Spatial Imprisonment Orb], so upon seeing the orb, he raised his wand and unleashed a wave of energy.

hum!
The space controller's energy surged, sealing the energy of the [Space Imprisonment Orb].

Almost simultaneously, the spatial energy within his body surged, and he instantly disappeared from his original spot, reappearing 30 meters behind him.

The instant he disappeared, Lu Heng cleaved through the void with a sword, his figure rushing forward and stepping into the void. Guided by the traceless sword intent, he locked onto the Pharaoh's location, instantly traversing a distance of 30 meters and chasing after the Pharaoh.

It's too late, but it's soon.

Just as Pharaoh finished teleporting, he discovered that Lu Heng had caught up with him. His internal spatial energy surged again, and he teleported out once more, appearing 30 meters to his left.

Lu Heng swung his sword, piercing through the void once more, and arrived with the tip of his sword only 10 centimeters away from the Pharaoh's forehead.

The Pharaoh had already felt the fierce sword wind rushing towards him. He roared, and spatial energy surged again, allowing him to teleport away once more.

This time, he traversed a distance of 30 meters and appeared next to the portal, about to step inside.

His original strategy was to use two teleports to take Lu Heng away from the portal, and then teleport back to leave the battlefield through the portal.

Under normal circumstances, with his ability to teleport three times in a row, any opponent would be completely outmaneuvered.

However, just as he teleported back to the front of the portal, a loud bang of space shattering erupted behind him.

Bang!
Lu Heng once again broke through the air, his Aurora Blade slashing down from above.

The Pharaoh was startled, never expecting that Lu Heng would be able to catch up.

Including the first Void Flash, Lu Heng has now used it four times in a row.

This was completely beyond his expectation.

His number in the Creator's Organization is 011. Apart from the core figures who founded the Creator's Organization, he holds a very high position in the organization.

The reason he is so highly regarded is because his initial talent included spatial attributes.

One can only imagine the immense potential of a superhuman who awakens with spatial abilities.

Therefore, he received a massive influx of resources from the Creator Organization, allowing him to far surpass others in the field of spatial ability enhancement.

Before meeting Lu Heng, he was the human with the most teleportation abilities.

He can not only open spatial portals to take his team members on long-distance spatial journeys, but also use multiple teleportation techniques.

He originally thought that no human could harm him in the slightest with his teleportation ability.

He can even use his spatial mastery talent to temporarily seal the effects of spatial treasures.

Therefore, even the S-rank [Spatial Imprisonment Orb] couldn't do anything to him.

However, even though he had become this strong, he still couldn't dodge Lu Heng's sword.

He sensed danger approaching from behind, but having already used up his three consecutive spatial teleportation abilities, he could only turn around and swing his wand, creating a psychic field in an attempt to withstand the sword strike.

But his idea was too naive.

Lu Heng slashed down with his sword, a gale howled, and a wind dragon took shape.

Thousands of tornado blades, carrying the power of the Rift Slash, struck him, instantly slicing his flesh into countless pieces of blood and flesh that exploded outwards.

The Pharaoh let out a single scream before exploding into a shower of blood that was scattered by the raging wind.

Ke Yiming stood outside the battlefield and saw the Pharaoh being killed. He immediately prepared to flee.

At this moment.

Lu Heng's voice came through the communicator he was carrying: "I advise you not to run away."

Ke Yiming didn't want to be caught again. No matter which side caught him, he would die in the end. Now was his only chance to escape.

Worried that Lu Heng would catch up, he quickly said into the communicator, "You shouldn't be concerned about me right now. Check what's in the Moon Well first."

"What do you mean?"

"Here's another piece of information for you, free of charge: the skeleton beneath the seal has already awakened, but it can't break free. So you should focus on dealing with the skeleton of the elven swordsman first. Also, I'll be back sooner or later to retrieve the Death Agent's Scythe; none of you can take that class away." After saying this, Ke Yiming rushed into the Hiss Mountains.

Lu Heng originally wanted to chase after him, but after hearing his words, he immediately turned his head to look at the mouth of the Moon Well.

A deafening roar came from the well, and a sword blade shot into the sky as Tyrese burst out of the well.

Immediately afterwards, a corpse was thrown out of the Moon Well, crashing to the ground and breaking in two; it was none other than Dark Star from the raiding party.
