And in the very center of the thunder, was the Abyss Black Tide that continuously surged from the bronze door.
Every bolt of thunder exuded an instinct-shaking majesty, with celestial might fully encapsulated within, slashing fiercely towards the sinister and bizarre Abyss Black Tide!
Each time the thunder struck the black tide, it would cause a hundred yards of the black tide to explode and vanish, but in the next second, new black tide would surge in to fill up the gap, endlessly and inexhaustibly!
And the black tide was not without the power to fight back; on the contrary, even under the wrathful thunder of the Heavenly Dao falling like rain, it could still rigidly launch attacks, intending to erode the surrounding heaven and earth and re-establish an Abyss Gate here!
Every inch of heaven and earth constitutes the world itself, so as long as the Abyss erodes one more inch of land, Mystical Mechanism Continent would be weakened by a fraction.
And once the Abyss succeeds in establishing the Abyss Gate, even if only for a single second, it would be sufficient to bring forth a large number of top Abyss Cultivators from the Abyss!
This place is the heartland of the Demon Clan, and naturally, there can be no cultivators from other sects besides the Demon Clan, even the nearest Demon Clan cultivator is tens of thousands of miles away.
If the Abyss Cultivators appear here without being eradicated immediately, they could vanish in a flash, bypassing the five major battlefields in front of them, and emerge within the interior of Mystical Mechanism Continent.
Perhaps the Heavenly Dao will act to annihilate them, but once these Abyss Cultivators are ready to die just to summon the Abyss Gate, wherever the Abyss Gate appears, the power of the Abyss will spread there.
As long as the Abyss Gate appears and it remains connected to the Abyss inside, then even the Heavenly Dao cannot circumvent the Abyss to destroy the Abyss Gate.
In this manner, the Abyss Gate would be like a nail, firmly nailing itself inside the Abyss Continent, diverting their attention.
Therefore, under no circumstances should any Abyss Gate appear outside of the battlefield!
As observers, Yue Bai and the others could clearly see, the current strategy of the Abyss is to build an Abyss Gate here at a colossal cost, including its essence!
Having just attempted an ambush on Yue Bai and others, it would retreat if successful, and if unsuccessful, it would execute this backup plan, after all, having come all the way here, it certainly needs to leave something behind.
Thanks to previously devouring numerous laws in the Demon Spirit Ancestral Land, the strength of the Heavenly Dao has been slightly weakened, allowing this part of the descending Abyss Will to persist for a longer duration.
The black tide surged up from the ground, transforming into a black storm that raged towards the Heavenly Vault Thunder Prison, ferociously colliding with countless thunders!
Space shattered, the world collapsed! Fissures in the void were faintly visible, as if they would collapse at any moment, generating a Void Storm.
The encounter between two Tenth Realm beings was more catastrophic than a natural disaster, seeming like the apocalypse had arrived, causing Yue Bai and others watching beside to tremble in fright.
Even having seen Chen Hua take action before did not give them this feeling, if Chen Hua is still within a range that cultivators can comprehend, then this collision between the Abyss and the Heavenly Dao is completely beyond their imagination.
"Is this beyond the Ninth Realm, the Tenth Realm?"
Grand Saint of Nine Spirits's pupils reflected everything before him, his claws tightly clenched.
The closer he got to this realm, the more he realized how terrifying the battle before him was.
It seems like there's only a step between the Great Perfection of the Ninth Realm and the Tenth Realm, but this one step is the difference between heaven and earth.
"No wonder even Chen Hua encountered a bottleneck..."
Grand Saint of Nine Spirits murmured to himself.
Once, Chen Hua's cultivation speed had far surpassed them all, but this time they have all reached Great Perfection of the Ninth Realm while Chen Hua still remained at that realm, signifying the seriousness of the issue.
But fortunately, as the home ground advantage, Heavenly Dao still holds significant sway, at least the black tide transforming from the Abyss is disappearing at a speed visible to Yue Bai's eyes, no matter how much power surged from the bronze door, it was just in vain.
Inside Mystical Mechanism Continent, the Heavenly Dao could freely utilize all laws as its weapons, whereas the Abyss, albeit powerful, was excluded from using Abyss Laws.
Like two equally matched fighters, even if one holds a simple brick, it's better than holding nothing.
Thus, the Abyss only symbolically resisted, like a thick-skinned rogue, radiating an attitude of "you strike yours, I build mine, see whether you kill me first or I complete the Abyss Gate."
Since the original purpose was already accomplished, it was now just a risky trial, if they can build it, it's a massive gain; if not, they just flee, after all, it won't suffer a loss.
The Heavenly Dao, of course, was aware of the intentions of the Abyss, acting very decisively, directly using the entire world's power to suppress the Abyss.
Lightning transformed into elongated Thunder Dragons that roared, biting towards the Abyss Black Tide, erasing vast swaths of Abyss Power.
But at the very center of the Abyss Black Tide, an evil, chaotic blood-colored gate phantom was still methodically forming.
What was somewhat a perilous situation just now seemed to be controlled with the arrival of the Heavenly Dao, even Grand Saint of Nine Spirits, who was observing from the side, did not notice that a small cluster of black power had appeared not far behind them.
