"You want to go too?"
Ye Ling was somewhat surprised to see Xiao Yu, who had been silent in the team, suddenly speak up.
Ever since the Savage Chaos Master sent Xiao Yu to his side, Xiao Yu had been as quiet as possible, minimizing her presence among the group.
Now, for the usually reserved Xiao Yu to speak up so suddenly gave Ye Ling the feeling that the sun had risen from the west.
Xiao Yu pursed her lips and said to Ye Ling, "Please, sir, take me with you. I promise to be obedient and will never hold you back!"
"Taking you down isn't a problem, but may I ask why? After all, the bottom of the Star Devouring Abyss is not a good place, and we might be facing opponents who wield Karma techniques."
Karma was not by Ye Ling's side at the moment. If other powerful individuals' Karma techniques were too strong, it would be a non-negligible trouble for Ye Ling.
Of course, it would only be a trouble.
Ye Ling himself possessed many powerful Karma techniques, coupled with Source Power and the Void Sword. Even if the opponent possessed an instant-kill Karma technique like "Ten Breaths to Annihilation," Ye Ling had ways to counter it.
Hearing Ye Ling's question, Xiao Yu opened her mouth, then glanced at the people around them.
Ye Ling instantly understood Xiao Yu's meaning and immediately instructed Long Yu and the Sickle Beast, "Long Yu, take Xiao Huo back first. Sickle Beast, wait in the Gate of Rebirth."
"Yes."
Long Yu and the Sickle Beast replied in unison and then left. Ye Ling and Xiao Yu remained.
"Speak, there are only the two of us around, no one can hear our conversation." Ye Ling tried his best to keep his voice gentle, not to pressure Xiao Yu.
"Mmm..." Xiao Yu nodded. "Sir, after I approached the Star Devouring Abyss, my bloodline began to boil. A power from the unseen was guiding me to the bottom of the Star Devouring Abyss."
"I have a vague premonition that the Star Devouring Abyss might hide the secret to unlocking my past."
"Unlocking your past?" Ye Ling mused. "Indeed, I heard from the Savage Chaos Master that you still don't know your origins, and you are very likely not from the Savage Chaos."
"Furthermore, you are a descendant of Sin's kin. If the Star Devouring Abyss can truly unlock your past, then it might indeed be related to Sin's kin. This is quite a significant piece of news."
Xiao Yu looked at Ye Ling with anticipation. "So, sir, can you take me to see? I was picked up and raised by my brother since I was young. I still don't know who my parents are, and even the consciousness of the Savage Chaos couldn't help me... I really want to know my origins! I can sacrifice my life for it!"
"There's no need to say such resolute words. With me by your side, you will be fine," Ye Ling chuckled.
"So, you agree to take me?" Xiao Yu's eyes lit up.
"Yes, just stay close to me. If the bottom of the Star Devouring Abyss can truly reveal your origins, I will do my utmost to assist!"
"Thank you, sir!"
As Ye Ling agreed, Xiao Yu's favor towards him began to rise significantly.
"There's no time to delay, let's go and explore the bottom of the abyss!"
After receiving unexpected information from Xiao Yu, Ye Ling became even more curious about the bottom of the Star Devouring Abyss. He immediately called the Sickle Beast, who was waiting in the Gate of Rebirth, and the three of them proceeded along the hidden route provided by the Gate of Rebirth.
Under the guidance of the Gate of Rebirth, Ye Ling was completely unaffected by the chaotic coordinates within the Star Devouring Abyss. He led Xiao Yu and the Sickle Beast, flying at a speed far exceeding light. In a short time, they reached the bottom of the Star Devouring Abyss.
At the bottom of the Star Devouring Abyss, there was a spiritual pressure even stronger than Ye Ling had anticipated. Not only could Xiao Yu not withstand it, but even the Sickle Beast had to expend great effort to resist the external pressure, greatly affecting its combat power.
At the bottom of the Star Devouring Abyss, the Sickle Beast could not even exert a third of its strength.
Ye Ling, however, managed to endure it by directly activating the Karma Mirror Domain, enveloping the two of them, which instantly eased their discomfort.
"Phew! Finally saved!" The Sickle Beast let out a long sigh. "This place has such strong spiritual pressure. Could a powerful being reside here?"
Ye Ling: "No, the spiritual pressure at the bottom of the Star Devouring Abyss is all disordered and chaotic, without any conscious manipulation. This should be the tomb of a powerful being..."
Saying this, Ye Ling squatted down and touched the smooth ground. "The ground here is incredibly smooth, not like something naturally formed... If I'm guessing correctly, because the power leaked from the powerful being who died here, it has eroded the Hidden Ruins over the years, leading to the emergence of the Star Devouring Abyss, which eventually evolved into one of the Four Great Fiendish Lands."
The Sickle Beast's pupils contracted slightly. "This Star Devouring Abyss was formed by the erosion of power leaked from the corpse of a powerful being?"
Ye Ling: "Come to think of it, the formation of the Hidden Dragon Fiendish Land was due to the First Ancestral Dragon. This Star Devouring Abyss is also the tomb of a mysterious powerful being, and the Burial God Tomb needs no further explanation; its name itself indicates its characteristic."
"Three of the Four Great Fiendish Lands are tombs. This Hidden Ruins is truly extremely bizarre. I wonder how this Hidden Ruins was formed?"
Ye Ling briefly assessed the surrounding environment, then stood up. "You two, come closer to me. Even if a powerful being at the pinnacle of the void falls, as long as a wisp of their remnant soul exists, they possess terrifying power. Not to mention the special environment of the Star Devouring Abyss, which does not allow energy to leak out, and even continuously absorbs the power of the Hidden Ruins."
"If that fallen mysterious powerful being still has a remnant soul, I estimate that his strength has not only not weakened but has become even stronger... perhaps stronger than the First Ancestral Dragon!"
As soon as Ye Ling said this, the Sickle Beast and Xiao Yu's hearts tightened, and they involuntarily moved closer to Ye Ling.
Drip!
At this moment...
The sound of dripping water came from the darkness, instantly drawing the attention of the three!
Ye Ling signaled for the two to be quiet, then slowly walked towards the direction of the dripping sound!
Soon, Ye Ling reached the source of the sound. From the endless darkness, he vaguely saw the outline of an ancient tree.
Ye Ling squatted down, touched the damp spot on the ground with his index finger, and narrowed his eyes slightly. "It's blood... and it's still warm."
"Mas... Master..."
At this moment, the Sickle Beast's voice, tinged with fear, came. Ye Ling looked and saw the Sickle Beast pointing upwards with a look of terror, its body trembling slightly.
Ye Ling followed the direction the Sickle Beast was pointing and saw two corpses, pierced by countless branches of an ancient tree, hanging in mid-air.
And on the other messy branches of the ancient tree, countless more corpses were hanging!
The Sickle Beast stared intently at the two pierced corpses and trembled, "Those two bounty hunters... are dead!"
