In the cosmic void, a figure broke through space, like a god-king strolling through the starry universe.

Each step he took had dao patterns interweaving beneath his feet, crossing infinite distances.

It was Lord Xiao Yao's true self rushing toward the Black Abyss.

"So that's how it is."

Lord Xiao Yao had naturally learned everything.

The doubts in his heart were completely resolved.

"One body with two souls, I wonder if I can use Tiannu Yuan to counter that Ling Yuan," Lord Xiao Yao contemplated various possibilities.

Clearly, Ling Yuan and the Ancient Emperor's Son, though both Immortal Lineage inheritors, had not joined forces.

Instead, each had their own schemes.

The Ancient Emperor's Son sent out the Four Heavenly Kings of the Immortal Court, setting up the Creation Ship trap, intending to scheme against him.

While Ling Yuan used Tiannu Yuan to probe and understand him.

These Immortal Lineage inheritors each had their own methods.

Although to Lord Xiao Yao, these schemes weren't worthy of much attention.

But they were indeed more troublesome than his previous opponents.

"Now that they know I killed Chi Lie, the outside world should understand that my body is essentially fine. There's no point in trying to fish for more information, so I'll head directly to the Black Abyss at full speed."

After making his decision, Lord Xiao Yao's figure broke through layers of void, rushing toward the Black Abyss at maximum speed.

He planned to resolve the Black Abyss matter first, then meet with the Ancient Emperor's Son and Ling Yuan.

His confrontation with the Immortal Lineage inheritors had only just begun.

......

In a blessed land filled with immortal energy deep within the Ancient Road.

A peerless silhouette was wrapped in misty immortal light.

Before her stood a beautiful woman with a fair jade-like face - it was Ru Ying.

"Interesting, truly interesting. This princess now feels somewhat sorry for that Ancient Emperor's Son," the peerless silhouette spoke with a voice as melodious as heavenly music.

"Imperial Lady, but from this perspective, that Lord Xiao Yao doesn't seem to have been much affected by the cursed blood. His strength is unfathomable," Ru Ying said solemnly.

Even just one of his law bodies possessed such power, giving people an extreme sense of pressure.

It was difficult to imagine how powerful Lord Xiao Yao himself truly was.

"That Lord Xiao Yao not only possesses strength but is also skilled in scheming. That fool Chi Lie was just a fish that took the bait."

"However... Tiannu Yuan dared to defy this princess's will. Ru Ying, do you think I should make her disappear directly?"

"Ru Ying dares not judge. Imperial Lady may do as she wishes. After all, that Tiannu Yuan is merely a pawn in your hands," Ru Ying respectfully replied.

"Hmph..."

With a light chuckle, that figure slowly rose and walked out from the misty immortal light.

Ling Yuan wore a snow-white crystal dress, cut open at the thigh, revealing smooth, jade-like long legs.

Her face was strikingly eight parts similar to Tiannu Yuan's.

But compared to Tiannu Yuan, Ling Yuan's exquisitely perfect features carried a supremely noble and cold aura.

Like an untouchable immortal phoenix on a high branch, people could only admire from afar but not approach. It seemed that even looking at her for too long would be a form of blasphemy.

As her phoenix eyebrows slightly raised, they carried the cold elegance of a female immortal ruler.

Around her body, various great dao petals, stellar orbits, and other strange phenomena appeared.

She was like a female immortal ruler standing at the center of heaven and earth, her eyes cold as she looked down upon the mortal world.

"Imperial Lady!" Ru Ying bowed respectfully.

Ling Yuan had been in closed-door cultivation before. Was she finally going to take action now?

"Do you think if this princess were to threaten Lord Xiao Yao with Tiannu Yuan's life, would he submit?" Ling Yuan asked.

Ru Ying thought for a moment and said, "Ru Ying believes that if that were to happen, Tiannu Yuan would take her own life."

"Hmph, don't forget, if this princess doesn't allow it, that Tiannu Yuan couldn't die even if she wanted to. What do you think Lord Xiao Yao's attitude would be?"

This time Ru Ying thought a bit longer before shaking her head, "Ru Ying cannot fathom Lord Xiao Yao. On the Desolate Star, he killed many for the sake of the Sacred Body lineage, showing great loyalty."

"But sometimes, he can also be terrifyingly cold, as if all beings and things before his eyes are merely passing clouds."

"Such a man, Ru Ying truly cannot predict."

"That's precisely why this princess hasn't acted rashly. People you cannot predict are the most dangerous."

As Ling Yuan spoke, her jade hand slowly opened, revealing an Imperial Dao Seal floating within.

If she merged with this Imperial Dao Seal, Ling Yuan's strength would surge again.

But she didn't do so directly.

She didn't want to be treated as a pawn.

Even if the chess player was the will of Heaven's Dao.

Moreover, this was a game between Lord Xiao Yao and Heaven's Dao.

If she were treated as a pawn, wouldn't that mean she was inferior to Lord Xiao Yao?

"Will Imperial Lady now move against Lord Xiao Yao?" Ru Ying asked.

Her eyes concealed a trace of worry.

Previously, when facing Ling Yuan's enemies, Ru Ying only felt pity for them.

But now, she was worried about Ling Yuan.

After all, Lord Xiao Yao was too powerful and too unfathomable as an opponent.

"This princess will definitely make a move, but not now. By the way, has the Underworld lineage made any moves?" Ling Yuan asked about another matter.

"Tianming Zi seems to have gone to the Black Abyss," Ru Ying said.

"The Black Abyss? I've heard it's an ancient forbidden zone related to the legendary Underworld. If one could obtain the opportunities and inheritances of the Underworld, then this princess's ascension to the position of Junior Sovereign would face little uncertainty," Ling Yuan pondered.

The Underworld, though not visible to the mortal world.

But it was said to be the Immortal Court of darkness, with absolutely powerful foundations.

"This princess will go to the Black Abyss. Also, don't forget to continue collecting information on that Lord Xiao Yao." After Ling Yuan finished speaking, her jade hand waved, opening a rift in space.

Her graceful figure entered it.

Looking at Ling Yuan's retreating figure, Ru Ying said somewhat worriedly, "Now it's probably impossible to track Lord Xiao Yao's whereabouts. This is truly difficult."

Since Lord Xiao Yao left the Desolate Star, except for Wu Hu and a few others.

No one else could possibly know that Lord Xiao Yao's destination was the Black Abyss.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, a year went by.

Lord Xiao Yao finally approached the ninetieth checkpoint of the Ultimate Ancient Road.

He didn't enter the city checkpoint but went into the depths of the starry universe.

The Black Abyss was a forbidden zone.

Even geniuses who had reached the ninetieth checkpoint of the Ancient Road would absolutely not approach it.

At most, they would only wander in the nearby areas.

Lord Xiao Yao gazed into the distance and clearly saw a huge abyss rift at the edge of the universe ahead, extending seemingly without end.

Various void storms raged and spread at its edges, even Sages had to be extremely careful when entering.

Those below Sage level who entered might even be directly torn apart by the void storms.

A few powerful geniuses only dared to collect some incomplete opportunities at the edge of the Black Abyss.

Either half a broken page, or a piece of incomplete immortal gold the size of a fingernail.

"Eh, that person is!"

Suddenly, some geniuses saw a blurry white-robed figure moving like a shadow, directly entering the Black Abyss.

"Who is it that dares to force their way into the Black Abyss, not valuing their own life?" Many people watched in astonishment.

The next moment, they saw a fierce void storm suddenly engulf that white-robed figure.

Some geniuses shook their heads slightly, while more people remained expressionless.

If someone sought death, there was nothing they could do.

However, before their thoughts could fully form, they were shocked to see that blurry figure simply wave his sleeve, dispersing the void storm.

He entered the Black Abyss with ease.

"This is... which powerful expert?" some geniuses asked in a daze.
