Chapter 122 The Ancient Buddha of the Abyss Appears

How did they follow us here...?

As soon as Chu Mingkong arrived near the coastline, he felt Feng Ying's gaze upon him. It was an undisguised gaze, telling him bluntly, "I'm right here."

Isn't this a bit too perceptive? He just released the Annihilation Domain, and he was found immediately?

Near the coast, Chu Mingkong also saw Yuehe, who naturally sensed that someone was behind Chu Mingkong.

"I need to clarify beforehand that I came alone. It's just that my girl was probably worried about my safety and secretly followed me. This wasn't what I wanted... If you don't mind, I'd like her to show herself more openly? She can also be considered a fighting force."

The highly wary woman stared intently in the direction where Feng Ying was hiding, her eyes seemingly deep in thought. After a moment's hesitation, she nodded slightly.

"Alright, let her come out then. There's no need to follow her like this."

Chu Mingkong breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Yuehe would suddenly disappear. He didn't even dare to have the joking thought of arresting her with a sack, for fear that she might read his mind using some secret means.

"Fengying, come out!" Chu Mingkong shouted, immediately covering his face with a mask to avoid being recognized.

Feng Ying made no further attempt to conceal himself. With a flash, Chu Mingkong's vision and perception seemed to pause for a moment as Feng Ying emerged from behind him.

Then, her gaze fell on Yuehe. Although Yuehe at this time differed from the portraits that have been passed down through the ages, his general appearance was still the same, only with a more youthful look.

Fengying sensed the other party's wariness and performed a gesture of respect reminiscent of the ancient Yueqi era to show friendliness, but said nothing more, only offering a brief self-introduction:

"Wind Shadow, that is my name."

Perhaps it was this gesture, imbued with a sense of warmth and familiarity, that led Yuehe to refrain from questioning the woman's origins, and he simply nodded and said:

"Yuehe, I will be hiding for a while. You don't need to worry about me. Just be with him."

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman with flowing long hair turned around, pointed in a certain direction deep in the sea, and her figure disappeared instantly.

This basically means—I'll be going there, and you can follow if you want.

"Fengying, can you sense her movements? I can't sense her at all, not even the Yin energy that can best conceal her presence."

Feng Ying shook his head, pondering an explanation with considerable difficulty:

"No, I don't think this is a problem with the technique, but rather a problem with the existence itself. How should I put it... I don't know how to describe the existence of the Moon River Goddess. She is not an existence in our usual understanding, so she may not have used any special methods. It's just that we cannot perceive her existence."

Chu Mingkong knew what she meant; in short, she was a person from the Yin era. He knew this all too well. However, as long as her thoughts represented the Moon River Goddess, even if she was only in her youth, Chu Mingkong would still treat her as a normal being.

After explaining his plans and his meeting with Yuehe on Penghu Island, Chu Mingkong summarized:

"...So now I'm going to help her go to that godforsaken place, the Abyss, and injure 'a being'."

"A being," Feng Ying repeated the title in her mind. She remembered that Chu Mingkong never showed any respect for the ferocious beasts of the Abyss.

"It's alright, I'll go with you. But is it just an injury? Is this Miss Yuehe looking down on you, or is she overestimating the other party's strength?"

“I’ll take this as a compliment. Anyway, let’s go over there. I’m also very curious about what’s in the Abyss that deserves the title of ‘a being’. I’ve always just used ‘thing’ to refer to it.”

Not long after Chu Mingkong and Feng Ying plunged into the East China Sea, the entire sea area experienced a tremendous shaking!

The two men were startled. For a moment, they felt like fish in a bottle, being shaken by someone holding the bottle, experiencing a shocking, earth-shattering sensation.

what?

Meanwhile, quite a few people noticed this commotion.

The aquatic creatures of the East Sea stared intently at the place of exile: "It's the place of exile! What happened there? Such a commotion! Shouldn't there only be some evil spirits moving around? Quick! Send people over to investigate what's going on! This commotion is extraordinary!"

The cultivators who had come for this grand auction were all "awakened" from their meditation. Those who already intended to leave hastened their departure and urged their fellow disciples to leave, while those who wanted to stay a little longer said:

"Go to the East China Sea and see what's going on. This must be related to the strange phenomena that have been occurring there in recent days! Find out what is causing such a disturbance! Kill it!"

The cultivators acted swiftly, requiring little preparation or formation; they could set off as soon as they were almost together, for they themselves were the most powerful weapons.

The Sword Dynasty, which had the largest number of people, the Sword Profound Sect, which changed its itinerary at the last minute, and some other cultivators who concealed their origins, all entered the East Sea at almost the same time, and all of them had considerable cultivation and strength.

The mere fact that they had to operate in the East China Sea eliminated most of the cultivators; they could only observe from the shore, waiting for intelligence to come from below to see what had happened.

The cultivators moved forward at full speed, popping pills into their mouths to replenish their spiritual energy. The seawater was riddled with holes from their impact.

A few cultivators with affinity for water spirits were not in such a predicament. They moved through the deep sea as if they were fish in water. Halfway through their journey, in order to reach the place of exile as soon as possible, they formed temporary alliances and traveled in formation. They even caught up with Chu Mingkong and Feng Ying, who had set off earlier.

These cultivators were quickly stunned by their own words. In the trench shrouded in extreme yin energy, a giant ancient Buddha statue, hundreds of feet tall, suddenly appeared. Behind the head of this giant Buddha statue, a ring of light formed by the core of the extreme abyss floated!

The Abyss Trench is bottomless, and this giant, living Buddha statue extends two hands from the abyss, clinging to the edges of the cliffs on both sides, as if it wants to emerge from the abyss!

"What...what is this? Why would something like this appear in the Abyss?!"

"I've heard that the Abyss initially consisted of mutated plants, which gradually gave rise to various ferocious beasts, and now even Buddha statues have evolved within it? Will immortals emerge from the Abyss in the future?!"

Shouldn't the Abyss be a forbidden zone of death?!

"No matter what, we absolutely cannot let this thing out of the place of exile, otherwise who knows what kind of disaster it will cause! Also, be careful if any Buddhist monks appear around, they love to cause trouble! Beware of them lying in ambush."

The arrangements were made quickly, but a deep sense of insecurity flashed through the minds of these cultivators.

Can this thing really be stopped? We should think about our own future first and not give up here. If necessary, we can go further away and avoid it if we can!

Chapter 123 Chu was busy digging a hole

One magical treasure after another was unleashed, and countless sword shadows appeared. Beams of spiritual energy tore a "channel" through the dark depths of the sea, and immense destructive energy converged to bombard the colossal ancient Buddha beneath the Abyss Trench.

Regardless of who arrived first or last, the cultivators who reached the edge of the Abyss Trench immediately unleashed all their skills and used any means necessary to attack the ancient Buddha.

However, the effect was rather mediocre. After their attacks entered the abyss, they were first partially eroded by the extreme yin energy, greatly reducing their power, before they finally struck the head of the ancient Buddha.

Like a mayfly trying to shake a tree, or drops of water falling into the ocean, the ancient Buddha was only slightly shaken by the blow.

"Boundless Buddha Light!"

Ancient Sanskrit chanted from the mouth of the ancient Buddha statue, and golden light flashed across its body, but it immediately turned into a dark purple of extreme yin power, covering the surface of the ancient Buddha's body and steadily resisting the cultivators' attacks.

Those attacks became a complete joke, failing to even create a ripple.

However, a large part of the reason for this is that those powerful figures are really just observing. The powerful figures from all sides who have reached a certain level of cultivation understand that this situation may be fraught with danger, and they will not spend their energy on things other than self-defense.

"Where is Yuehe? Is this the 'being' she was referring to? She wants to injure this thing?!"

Chu Mingkong and Feng Ying were hiding in the shadows. They were also part of the small group of observers. They were both shocked. Even Chu Mingkong, who treated Jiyuan like his own home, had never seen such a being before!

"I'm even more curious about why the Moon River Goddess wanted to injure this big guy. This thing must have appeared suddenly, right? The aquatic people have lived here for so long, it's impossible that they only found out about this now. And what is this big guy trying to do?"

Feng Ying's attention was focused, his eyes scanning all directions, wary of Ji Yuan and the other cultivators.

If this behemoth appeared during the Yin time, then these Yin people might be mingling among the rogue cultivators, plotting something.

Chu Mingkong thought about it more deeply: "Is this thing related to the ancient Buddha corpse at the Zhong family's place? It doesn't look like it... And the Asura King, could she be waiting for this guy?"

Before his thoughts could settle, a loud bang forcefully interrupted Chu Mingkong. In the abyss where everything was shrouded in a dark, fallen void, a pale thunderclap shattered the silence.

A huge lotus pedestal appeared in the sky above the Abyss. This lotus was upside down, as if it replaced the "sky" in the Abyss. The power of extreme yin could not get close to it for a while and could not erode it in the slightest.

Within that power, the Asura King appeared!

Amidst the pale lightning, the beautiful figure of the Asura King flashed out, her white hair fluttering wildly. With her bare, jade-like feet, she stepped forward, placing one foot on the forehead of the ancient Buddha statue. One by one, the fleshy protuberances on her hair shattered, revealing the slender corpses of monks.

The thick fluid seeping from the corpse quickly scabbed over and turned black, transforming in the blink of an eye into the ancient Buddha corpse that had once appeared in the Zhong family.

The eerie and ominous ancient Buddha corpse vanished from the spot, its whereabouts unknown.

"This is definitely hidden inside the Nirvana Realm!" Chu Mingkong had already witnessed it once and immediately made a judgment. He carried Feng Ying into his Nirvana Realm so that he wouldn't be unaware if an ancient Buddha corpse came near.

Many cultivators were tempted to retreat upon seeing this, but then they thought that with so many people here, taller people would be there to shield them from harm, so it was unlikely that it would be their turn.

"Who is that woman? Judging from her skills, she seems to be a Buddhist. How could she be so powerful?"

"Beware of those ancient Buddha corpses, do not let your guard down!"

"I've heard of that woman. She seems to be the Asura King from the Buddhist Realm. She rarely appears before the world. Her Asura clan is extremely warlike. Could it be that she came to the Abyss to challenge this giant ancient Buddha to a duel?!"

They weren't sure, but Chu Mingkong felt it was quite possible...

When they met before, the Asura King revealed a deep sense of frustration, feeling that the people of the world were too weak and far from being able to fight her.

Feng Ying watched the fight for a while, then breathed into Chu Mingkong's ear:

"You can look all you want, but can you please not hug me so tightly? You came here to find Cat's mother, don't let your gaze lead you to do something outrageous on the edge of the Abyss. What will you say if someone sees you like that?"

After Chu Mingkong carried Feng Ying into the Silent Extinction Domain, he didn't let go and kept holding her. In addition, he was lying on the seabed rock watching, so the posture was basically Chu Mingkong holding Feng Ying and pressing her down.

The main features are its slender, boneless body and warm, fragrant scent, making it exceptionally comfortable to hold. Since you're going to watch the show anyway, why not hold Fengying while watching?

"I just wanted to protect you. Do you think I'm the kind of person who would be overcome with lust even in the most dangerous places?" Chu Mingkong said with a sanctimonious expression.

"I don't care~ but you're trying to gain the trust of the extremely wary Moon River Goddess while you're holding me like this, how can she trust you?"

Thinking that Chu Mingkong probably wouldn't dare to do anything reckless, Feng Ying's playful side was aroused. He turned his neck and pecked at Chu Mingkong's neck a few times. With each peck, his full and sexy lips would press against the skin of Chu Mingkong's neck, take a small breath, and then release.

"Ying, has my mother, Zhi'er, ever told you about the Abyss?" Chu Mingkong suppressed his inner impulse.

"What? The Princess Consort of Chu? She doesn't even have much combat ability, how could she discuss matters of the Abyss with me?"

"so......"

While Chu Mingkong was still hesitating about whether to give Feng Ying something more realistic,

The battle tactics of the Asura King below changed. Suddenly, a powerful force shot out from the crowd of cultivators, aiming at the white-haired, black-skinned Asura King.

This attack was almost at the peak of the eighth rank with complete spiritual and physical cultivation, and it was a full-force attack!

After the initial attack, several more forces launched sneak attacks, all aimed at the Asura King.

"Miscellaneous items at the Yin time."

The Asura King glanced at it indifferently, her tone devoid of much emotion. She used her strength to block the attacks, but a hint of anger mingled with regret:

"The power of the clone is insufficient. It's a pity. I should have come in person. I didn't expect that such a perfected Blood Blade King Corpse could emerge from this Abyss. I also forgot about you Yin Shi people hiding in the shadows. My power has been wasted!"

"Then let's see how you underworld figures who have already launched an attack deal with this Mingwang corpse."

The Asura King raised his hand, and the lightning under his punitive will transformed into a spearhead, stabbing it towards a certain spot in the Abyss.

A dull thud echoed as the shackles binding the ancient Buddha statue broke, its massive body emerging from the narrow crack in the trench, its blood-red eyes fixed on the group of cultivators.
