Fortunately, the Abyss, in order to befuddle the Heavenly Dao, did not fully descend this time. It only stuffed a great portion of its power over through some unknown means, while the real Abyss Will still lurked in the Abyss, deceiving the Heavenly Dao.
As such, this task force, merely devouring the Laws within the Demon Spirit Ancestral Land's Abyss Will, was not as cunning as its true self and did not immediately see through the true nature of Mr. Orange Fur. Instead, because it overly valued pros and cons, it was bamboozled by him.
But Mr. Orange Fur knew he could only deceive them temporarily, but not forever. If his act were to be seen through before he could withstand it any longer, and without any reinforcements...
Then Liang Yi, the treacherous dog, could wait to offer him incense next year!
Right now, Mr. Orange Fur was anxiously waiting for Liang Yi to hurry up. His heart was like ants on a hot pan, yet he had to maintain a calm and dignified appearance on his face, which was pure torture for him.
He now had a rough idea why his Reincarnation Spirit Light followed Liang Yi and understood why Liang Yi was the person most watched over by the Heavenly Dao on Mystic Mechanism Continent.
If He Zhiqing, Ke Mengzhan, or Liu Rouxin could be considered the adopted sons of the Heavenly Dao, then Liang Yi was even closer than a true son of the Heavenly Dao.
So as long as Liang Yi arrived, naturally the eyes of the Heavenly Dao would follow. Even if the Heavenly Dao was blind, it should be able to spot this Abyss Will now.
"Come on, hurry up!"
Mr. Orange Fur was burning with anxiety internally, but it didn't show on his face at all.
He didn't even dare to send a telepathic message to White Tiger and Yue Bai to leave first, because that would seem cowardly, and perhaps tempt the Abyss to probe them.
And he was the least able to withstand testing, truly a paper tiger at the tipping point.
The Abyss Will of course understood that it should not drag out the time here. To leave was to leave, to fight was to fight; standing there doing nothing was the most disadvantageous for it.
The light across from it was definitely the light of the Heavenly Dao. Even after ten epochs, the Abyss, holding its nose, could smell that scent.
If it was going to forcefully leave by adhering to facing the Heavenly Dao, it would certainly take some slight damage, and since it had to pay a certain price, the Abyss was contemplating whether to invest this price in forcefully devouring some more Laws.
In that way, it might lose a little for now, but the power of the Mystic Mechanism Heavenly Dao would definitely decline significantly, and on the whole, it would still come out ahead.
Just when the Abyss Will was gradually figuring out its next move, it saw the peculiar beast that seemed to be possessed by the descent of the Heavenly Dao slowly lifting its paw.
The paw, covered with fluffy orange fur, looked round and plump, but as the paw was raised, the myriad of Laws behind Mr. Orange Fur suddenly stirred, moving all at once!
The Abyss revealed a vigilant look in its eyes. Was it about to fight?
If the other party took action, it would endure the blow, forcefully extract and devour some Laws from the assault, and then swiftly beat it back to the Abyss to merge with its true self!
Down below, Yue Bai and White Tiger watched the scene unfold, their hearts involuntarily hanging in suspense.
The oppression from the Abyss was indeed of despairing magnitude, but the light of the Heavenly Dao emanating from Mr. Orange Fur gave them hope. Was the action finally about to take place?
Boom—
Like the dawn of the world, the light of the Tai Chu shone gradually brighter from the Heavenly Dao Light enclosing Mr. Orange Fur. Anyone witnessing this sliver of Tai Chu Light couldn't help but sense the destruction and rebirth of the world, the beginning and the end of all things, the birth and death of all creation.
Facing this sliver of Tai Chu Light, the Abyss Will tensed up completely, and the jet-black color that had been evenly matched with the white light now surged like waves toward the crimson pupils at its center.
It seemed that even the Abyss was wary of this strike, not intending to strike first, but rather assuming a defensive posture.
Mr. Orange Fur was clear on the thoughts of the Abyss Will. When he was the Heavenly Dao, he had dealt a few harsh blows to the Abyss Will with this Tai Chu Light.
Thus, seeing this move again, the Abyss Will wisely chose to defend, not even considering whether Mr. Orange Fur was bluffing!
But when the trembling of the surrounding Laws reached its peak, and the Tai Chu Light above Mr. Orange Fur's head shone so intensely that no one could keep their eyes open, rendering the entire Demon Spirit Ancestral Land a blank white, Yue Bai and White Tiger suddenly felt a force enveloping the two of them.
"Could it be that the Abyss is seizing this opportunity to strike at us?"
White Tiger was shocked and furious in his heart, and Yue Bai beside him had also considered this possibility.
On instinct, Yue Bai and White Tiger were about to muster their Spiritual Power to resist, but in the next instant, they detected the voice of the owner of the force.
"Don't move, it's me! Run for it!"
Yue Bai recognized it, it was Mr. Orange Fur!
"Preserve our fighting strength, first make a tactical retreat!"
Under the cover of the Tai Chu Light, arguably the biggest and most useless lightbulb in the world, alike only in brightness, the gateway to the outside, unbeknownst to when Mr. Orange Fur had opened it, was now nervously racing against time to lead Yue Bai, White Tiger, and a whole heap of Laws slipped away!
The Abyss Will squatted down, and Mr. Orange Fur instantly knew what the other side was up to.
Unable to win the fight, the other side was now ready to take action. He might as well strike first, taking advantage of the last bit of awe-inspiring presence to perform the best strategy from the Thirty-Six Stratagems: make a break for it!
As long as Yue Bai, White Tiger, and the Laws behind him made no mishaps, then so be it if the Demon Spirit Ancestral Land was destroyed. After all, he didn't regret it in the least.
