Chapter 816 Seizure and Control 1
In the mountains and forests a thousand miles away from the "Abyss of Bliss," a cultivator shrouded in a black hooded robe stepped out of the torn void. After the void closed, the cultivator looked around and then switched to walking, quickly traversing the dense mountains without stopping.

Upon sensing the aura emanating from the cultivator, the creatures in the mountains retreated in all directions, showing no intention of showing themselves. This allowed the cultivator to move faster and faster, almost becoming a blur.

After the cultivators left the mountain range, a figure appeared at the spot where the void had just closed. The newcomer's sharp, narrow eyes looked in the direction where the hooded cultivator had disappeared, revealing a cruel smile.

"Hmph! The rats in the gutter are going back to their nests."

Then his figure blurred and disappeared.

An hour later, after taking a long detour, the hooded black-robed cultivator finally arrived at the "Abyss of Bliss" and jumped off without hesitation.

During his fall, the cultivator crushed a jade talisman. Halfway down, he was enveloped by a cloud of black mist. After the mist dissipated, the figure disappeared.

The bottom of the abyss of bliss
"Why are you back?"

A hoarse male voice immediately rang out, seemingly surprised that his companion would choose this moment to return.

"Things have changed. Wunian City was a trap to lure us out."

The female cultivator's hoarse voice rang out.

"Then why did you dare to come back here? What if you were tracked down?"

"Don't worry, someone took my place. If I hadn't come back, how could the 'door' have been taken back? That scapegoat was caught before he could even close the 'door'."

"Did you see who made the move?"

The male cultivator persisted, asking the question relentlessly.

"They must be cultivators from the four regions who were invited by that old ghost Mingyou this time."

The female evil cultivator said through gritted teeth.

"Didn't they say they found nothing and left Wunian City? Our people even kept watch for three more days. Didn't they notice that these people went back?"

The male cultivators seemed unwilling to admit their mistake and kept questioning their companions.

"Shut up! It's too late to say that now. Quickly take the 'door' back. Without the 'door,' every single one of these people will be trapped there and die. Sooner or later, they will become nourishment for the God's resurrection. What are you afraid of?"

The female evil cultivator seems to have more opinions.

Just as the two were heading deeper into the array within the "Abyss of Bliss," a black-robed cultivator appeared before them and said:

"Something's wrong! The array controlling the portal is collapsing, and the portal seems to be slipping out of control."

"what?"

"How could this be?"

The two spoke at the same time and disappeared from their companion's sight. The next moment, they appeared in front of a constantly flashing blood-red array.

Six black-robed cultivators sat cross-legged around the formation, pouring their evil energy into it in an attempt to stabilize it. At the very center of the formation was a constantly flickering red gate, shifting between reality and illusion. Each time it shifted, the gate shrank by an inch, meaning they were losing control of it. "Not good!"

The two immediately moved to their positions and began to rapidly inject evil power into the formation by forming hand seals, attempting to turn the tide. The addition of these two evil cultivators did indeed slow down the flashing frequency of the "gate," and the "gate" stopped shrinking and instead stabilized.

The evil cultivator who went to deliver the message returned to his position. The nine evil cultivators surrounded the formation, quickening their movements as they began to vie for control of the "gate".

The high-ranking ghost cultivator who had been tracking the hooded evil cultivator was now standing on the edge of the cliff above the "Abyss of Bliss," his deep, dark eyes seemingly searching the entire "Abyss of Bliss."

Just then, a white-headed black crow flew in from afar. The ghost cultivator blurred his form first and watched as the white-headed black crow landed on a piece of charred, withered wood protruding from the edge of the cliff.

The moment the white-headed black crow landed, black mist surged at the bottom of the "Abyss of Bliss," and a wisp of black smoke shot up the cliff wall, reaching the withered branch and beginning to devour the white-headed black crow.

The white-headed black crow showed no reaction, remaining quietly on the withered branch, seemingly accustomed to the situation. This scene was clearly seen by the ghost cultivator who had been tracking him, and he immediately transformed into a beam of light and entered the white-headed black crow's body.

A moment later, the black mist dissipated, and the white-headed black crow had disappeared, leaving only a charred and withered branch on the cliff face.

Yunxi had completed the contract array drawn with spiritual power, blood essence, and merit, radiating golden light that made the ghost cultivators who had been sucked into this space afraid to approach.

Master Wuwang felt his mouth watering. This was a meritorious deed, and it was such a waste to use it like this. However, their current situation was uncertain, and they absolutely could not let the cave entrance be closed, otherwise they would really be trapped here.

Therefore, Wu Wang sped up the speed at which he twisted the prayer beads, trying his best not to let his eyes fall on the contract array that emitted golden light, lest he lose control of his mouth.

Cao Yi was an eighth-grade array master. When Yun Xi was drawing the contract array, he had already placed an array plate under everyone's feet to protect his people and ensure that their soul power would not be extracted.

Ren Tianning and Xun Kun each held a Soul-Gathering Mirror, trying to collect as many ghost cultivators as possible that entered through the black hole into the mirrors, determined not to let anything here that devours soul power benefit from them.

Ren Tianning's light amber eyes had completely darkened as she looked around, her brows slowly furrowing. She transmitted her voice to Xun Kun:

“There’s something underground here that’s draining our soul power. Even with the array separating us, it only slows down the rate at which our soul power is being consumed. We must leave here as soon as possible.”

Xun Kun tightened his grip on the Soul-Gathering Mirror, then replied:

"I know, but we also need to control that black hole, otherwise we won't be able to leave immediately."

Ranxi is currently trying to control the black hole; we can't let her get distracted. Let's stabilize the situation here first.

Ren Tianning nodded, then turned the Soul-Gathering Mirror around and continued to input pure demonic energy into it. Because she had obtained Yun Xi's permission, she was now the temporary owner of the Soul-Gathering Mirror. However, she only needed to input the power to support the operation of the Soul-Gathering Mirror, and the Mirror would operate on its own.

Yunxi noticed that the black hole was shrinking again, indicating that the other side had intensified its efforts to seize the "gate". She could sense that the Key of Time and the Key of Space had merged with the "gate", and the "gate of space" was absorbing the surrounding power to restore its complete form.

Yunxi had been waiting for this moment, so she didn't hesitate to throw her soul power into the contract array and send it into the black hole with a flick of her sleeve. There is no safer way to form a contract than soul recognition. Even if her soul were to be scattered one day, she could make the "gate of time and space" break apart again.

At this moment, lightning flashed and thunder roared above the "Abyss of Bliss," and a bolt of purple lightning struck down into the abyss below without warning.

A thunderous roar echoed throughout the abyss as the purple lightning struck the "gate" of the array controlled by the evil cultivators, catching the nine cultivators off guard. As the array shattered, they all suffered a backlash.
