I picked up the scattered attributes

What is the Great Abyss of the Universe?

That's one of the two forbidden areas, on par with the Cosmic Burial Ground!

“Since ancient times, no living being who has fallen into the abyss of the universe, even a god, has ever come out again!” Feng Xia said, enunciating each word clearly, his eyes filled with increasingly intense killing intent.

"That's true, but Fellow Daoist Feng, please don't forget that the Cosmic Burial Ground is also known as a place where you can only enter and not leave, but in the end we still came out, didn't we?"

Fortunately, Zu Long's next words temporarily stopped Feng Xia from killing.

He narrowed his eyes, and said thoughtfully, "You mean, even if you fall into the abyss of the universe, there's still a possibility of coming back?"

"It's just a possibility, but even if there's only a sliver of a possibility, we must strive for it."

Despite his body being composed of lightning, Zulong still took another breath: "The other side of the Great Abyss of the Universe may be connected to another universe, but it is not the other universe that is the source of the strangeness, but rather the ruins of a destroyed other universe."

Feng Xia was greatly encouraged.

Chapter 1088

Inner Demon Tribulation?

Zu Long was stunned.

He certainly knew about the Yang God Tribulation.

When a cultivator reaches the peak of the Divine Bridge Realm, under the influence of the interaction between heaven and man, they will be summoned to undergo the Yang God Tribulation. After passing through the tribulation, their primordial spirit will transform from the Yin God into the Yang God, and their true self will be united with the divine realm of the True One!

The Yang God Thunder Tribulation originates from Heaven and Earth.

Not all lightning can be called a tribulation lightning.

If he wasn't mistaken, the inner demon lightning tribulation that Feng Xia mentioned was actually formed from the stone carvings on the cliff.

What are the mysteries behind this strange thunder that it deserves the name of a tribulation thunder?

"Give it a try?" Feng Xia asked with a smile.

"Since you have so kindly invited me..."

After a moment's thought, Zu Long agreed.

Now that things have come to this, he no longer regards Feng Xia as a junior.

Although Feng Xia's current cultivation level is still not as high as his peak, he is no longer at his peak either. In particular, everything Feng Xia has done is something that even he might not have been able to do at his peak!

For Zulong now, Feng Xia is a respectable fellow Daoist, an existence equal to the Emperor Realm!

"Then I'll take the liberty of trying... I'll give it a try!"

Moreover, Zu Long did not believe that the so-called inner demon lightning tribulation could cause him much harm.

After all, the highest cultivation level among those lingering near the Heart Demon Cliff is only the True Spirit Realm. These True Spirit Realm cultivators are able to survive the Heart Demon Tribulation, so how could anything unexpected happen to him?

More importantly, his body is composed of primordial divine lightning!

Looking across the world, the Primordial Divine Lightning can almost be called the ancestor of all lightning. Even the true Yang God Lightning Tribulation must bow down in the face of the Primordial Divine Lightning.

"Fellow Daoist, be careful, the power of the Heart Demon Tribulation is extraordinary."

Feng Xia kindly reminded him, then raised his hand and unleashed a gentle force, sending the Thousand Autumn Valley disciples who were under the influence of the Heart Demon Cliff's magic one by one to a more distant place, so as to avoid being affected by the commotion created by the Ancestral Dragon.

Zu Long laughed heartily, then leaped into the thunder-filled Heart Demon Cliff.

"Fellow Daoist Feng, there's no need to worry. I've spent my life fighting against heaven and earth, never admitting defeat. No matter what inner demons I face, I will shatter them with a single blow—Ah!!!"

Before he could finish speaking, Zu Long suddenly let out a scream.

The primordial divine lightning that constituted his body flickered, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, with bursts of lightning occasionally shooting out, as if his whole being had become illusory.

Feng Xia watched this scene with a smile on his face, taking his time.

The Heart Demon Cliff was a unique treasure he specially crafted to help the people of Thousand Autumn Valley hone their Dao hearts, combining it with his own Dao heart cultivation method.

Even the Eight Prodigies often come here to hone their Dao hearts, and even the Ghost Jellyfish comes here from time to time. However, this giant jellyfish rarely has a demonic heart. Most of the time, it just treats the Thunder Sea of ​​the Demonic Heart Cliff as a good place to sleep soundly.

It is worth mentioning that when the Ghost Jellyfish is dormant, its power dissipates, creating a series of illusions.

Therefore, the disciples of Qianqiu Valley who come to Xinmo Cliff for training occasionally fall into the double Xinmo illusion, which is extremely dangerous and often requires outsiders to come and rescue them.

However, if one can survive the double inner demon illusion, the effect on the tempering and growth of one's Dao heart will be far better than that of a simple inner demon lightning tribulation!

The inner demon tribulation is aimed at the Dao heart.

Any conventional defense method can only be supplementary at best, and cannot play a significant role.

The First Emperor had a strong Dao heart, but he was not without flaws.

In particular, his experience of being defeated and killed in battle and being turned into a dragon boat will forever remain a dark past that he cannot shake off.

Before the establishment of the Heavenly Pattern Divine Kingdom, in the era when innate gods and demons ruled the heavens and the universe, the Ancestral Dragon was already revered as the God of War by many living beings.

Dragons fight in the wild, their blood turning black and yellow.

He couldn't accept that his final fate was defeat!

That is why, even though fifty million years have passed, that defeat remains the biggest flaw in the Ancestral Dragon's Dao Heart!

Before entering the Heart Demon Thunder Sea, which of the disciples of Qianqiu Valley did not make full preparations, be on high alert, and dare not expose the slightest flaw in their mind?

But the First Emperor was different...

Without any preparation or a word, they jumped in!

"Aaaaaaaaaa..."

This day.

The agonizing roar of the Ancestral Dragon echoed throughout the entire Heart Demon Cliff.

Its body, formed from primordial divine lightning, was once on the verge of collapse, but it managed to maintain its form in the end.

Even so, Zulong still did not wake up from the illusion of inner demons.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

"Sect Leader, will Senior Ancestral Dragon be alright?"

During this period, all eight prodigies visited the Heart Demon Cliff.

Among them, the dragon descendant Qingxuan came the most.

It seemed that the appearance of the Ancestral Dragon gave her some kind of inexplicable feeling—perhaps it was related to her bloodline, or perhaps it was related to her memories.

Feng Xia also asked her if she had encountered any trouble, but she always denied it.

"He'll be fine. Besides, it's just a physical body. Even if it's destroyed here, he can just create another one, right?"

As if to confirm Feng Xia's words, almost at the same time as he finished speaking, in the Heart Demon Cliff, the body of the Ancestral Dragon suddenly exploded, turning into streaks of lightning that scattered and flew wildly. Before long, they had disappeared without a trace.

Qingxuan: "..."

Not long after, another figure arrived outside Qianqiu Valley.

The man's face was dark, and he exuded a low-pressure aura. Who else could it be but Zu Long?

"What exactly is going on with this inner demon tribulation?"

Zu Long stared at Feng Xia for a long time, seeing that Feng Xia had a smile on his face but didn't say a word. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly and squeeze out a sentence: "I have clearly defeated the enemy time and time again, so why can't I get rid of the illusion? Surely those who are undergoing tribulation are going to die in the lightning tribulation for the rest of their lives?"

In fact, this is why he was unwilling to ask.

It should be noted that although the young people of Qianqiu Valley often appeared disheveled, at least they managed to escape the tribulation of lightning through their own efforts.

But he, the ancestor of the dragon race, could not do it!

This is undoubtedly a disgrace!

"The reason is simple: the tribulation of inner demons is not meant to be braved, but to temper one's Dao heart."

Feng Xia grinned and introduced to Zu Long: "I suppose you imagined yourself possessing great power in the illusion, tearing all your enemies apart, in an attempt to break the illusion of the inner demon tribulation. However, the inner demon illusion is born from the flaws in your Dao heart. As long as the flaws in your Dao heart remain, your enemies will continue to evolve."

Zu Long was speechless: "Could it be... could it be that something is wrong?"

“Fellow Daoist, the power you have imagined is ultimately just an illusion. You failed to defeat your enemies back then, and now you imagine your own power, but it is nothing but a rootless duckweed. You don’t even believe that you can possess such power to make a comeback and defeat your former powerful enemies.”

Feng Xia said calmly and slowly, "Fellow Daoist, you need to have real confidence in your victory. The Heart Demon Cliff is right here, and you can come and try it anytime, anywhere."

Chapter 1089

Feng Xia had actually come into contact with quite a few of the ancient beings from the Celestial Pattern Era.

Such as Ji Yuheng, the Great Evolution God King, the Netherworld Emperor, the Supreme Demon Dragon Emperor, the Ancestral Dragon, and so on.

Going back even further, the schoolteacher who was suspected to be the national teacher of the ancient god kingdom, Xiao Weiming, could also be considered one of them.

Unfortunately, when he encountered these people, either the timing was wrong or the situation did not allow it.

For example, Ji Yuheng, the Great Yan God King, is suspected of having gone through fifty million years of madness and knows very little about the past.

The Netherworld Emperor was the most likely to know the truth. However, before Feng Xia could ask him, he had already returned to the ancient times, where he met Yu Hui, Lu Tiancheng and others, and also encountered the Thousand-Winged Ancestral Dragon Ship for the first time.

Later, when he returned to normal time and space, the Nether Emperor and the Underworld Emperor had already left and their whereabouts are still unknown.
