Thunder rumbled continuously, echoing through the heavens and the earth. Inside the Thunder Abyss, where lightning cascaded down like a curtain, two figures were cautiously making their way forward.
"Master, is there really a peak Primordial Embryo Realm beast inside?" The voice of Zuo Zongshou echoed in his mind.
At this moment, Zuo Zongshou was suppressing his aura and walking carefully, not daring to speak loudly. Even facing the torrential lightning, he could only endure it with a Dan Qi shield, without using any spiritual artifacts.
He was afraid.
A peak Primordial Embryo Realm beast was within the Thunder Abyss, not far from them. The pressure was overwhelming. It was known that such a terrifying beast could easily annihilate both him and Fang Chen. Yet now, under Fang Chen's lead, they were not avoiding it but slowly advancing toward the beast.
Wasn't this seeking death?
Zuo Zongshou felt bitter inside. Although he had entered the Thunder Abyss with Fang Chen, at this moment, he had forgotten all about Fang Chen's ability to make beasts avoid them. All that remained was worry and fear.
Surrounding them, apart from the continuous rumbling of thunder, a low growl gradually emerged from the air. A fierce aura began to permeate the atmosphere, chilling both Fang Chen and Zuo Zongshou to the bone.
Sensing Zuo Zongshou's unease, Fang Chen suddenly spoke calmly, "Stay calm and composed!"
"Yes." Zuo Zongshou trembled slightly and replied. Then, he struggled to take another step forward, braving the lightning pouring down from above as they continued deeper into the Thunder Abyss.
Not long after, about half a minute later, amidst the booming roars that sounded like falling thunder around them, Fang Chen and Zuo Zongshou finally halted their steps.
Gulp!
Before them stood a colossal creature, its eyes resembling two red lanterns hanging high in the air. The fierce aura swirling around them intensified with the Frenzy energy sweeping through like a storm. Zuo Zongshou felt his throat tighten and couldn't help but swallow hard.
Just from the aura emanating from this beast, he knew that if it erupted in fury, survival would be impossible. If it weren't for Fang Chen by his side, Zuo Zongshou would have wanted to flee from this dangerous place immediately.
Struggling to turn his body, Zuo Zongshou shifted his gaze from the mountain-like Armored Beast to Fang Chen beside him. Seeing the calm expression on Fang Chen's face, the shock in his heart eased slightly. Fang Chen's composed confidence had become his only glimmer of hope.
However, at that moment, Zuo Zongshou's eyes suddenly twitched, and a look of uncontrollable astonishment returned to his face. In his line of sight, Fang Chen was not retreating but instead stepping forward toward the Pangolin Beast that loomed like a mountain before them.
"Roar!"
A low growl emanated from the Pangolin Beast, its enormous crimson eyes fixed intently on Fang Chen. Yet within those somewhat dull eyes flickered a mix of brutality, confusion, and fear—contradictory emotions flashing across its gaze.
As Fang Chen continued to approach, the Pangolin Beast's growls echoed like thunder in the air. Gradually, it seemed to grow accustomed to Fang Chen's presence; its crimson eyes narrowed as it began to purr.
"Huh..."
Seeing this scene, both Fang Chen and Zuo Zongshou let out a long sigh of relief.
It was practically a gamble! Fortunately, they had won.
At that moment, Fang Chen took a few more steps before stopping again.
Before him lay a long incense stick, about ten feet in length and entirely grayish-white. The stick's surface bore a cluster of souls manifesting a painful expression, constantly twisting in an eerie manner.
The grayish-white incense burned steadily, releasing wisps of smoke. Upon contact, this smoke induced a sense of mental fogginess, making one feel lost deep within their soul.
"Hmph!" Fang Chen snorted coldly. Although the smoke was potent, his extraordinary Divine Consciousness Power rendered him unaffected. With a dismissive snort, he dispelled all feelings of drowsiness.
"If I pull out this incense... Hehe." Fang Chen murmured, a glint of brilliance flashing in his eyes. As he spoke, he reached for the nearest Soul-Searching Incense.
A chill surged through Fang Chen the moment he grasped the Soul-Searching Incense. "Rise!" he exclaimed sharply, unleashing a tremendous force from his hand.
Thunder rumbled as the ground around the Soul-Searching Incense trembled violently.
A buzzing sound filled the air.
Grayish-white lines, resembling veins, emerged from the ground beneath the nine Soul-Searching Incense. At the same time, the Soul-Searching Incense that Fang Chen held tightly in his hand, which had been vibrating as if it might rise from the ground at any moment, suddenly shuddered upon the appearance of these grayish-white lines. Its upward movement came to an abrupt halt.
"Hmm?" Fang Chen furrowed his brow.
The reason he deliberately entered the Thunder Abyss with Zuo Zongshou was largely based on the gamble that the Pangolin Demon would not attack him upon seeing him.
This was no small wager. However, throughout his journey, every beast that encountered him had turned and fled without exception. Although Fang Chen did not understand the reason behind this phenomenon, it nonetheless gave him considerable confidence. The reality proved that he had indeed won this gamble.
However, betting that the Pangolin Beast would not attack him was merely Fang Chen's first step. His primary goal afterward was to remove the nine Soul-Searching Incense surrounding the Pangolin Demon, especially the six that were currently burning.
Fang Chen understood very well that the reason this beast appeared so listless and dazed was due to the nine Soul-Searching Incense. As long as he could remove all nine, the Pangolin Demon at the peak of the Primordial Embryo Realm would naturally awaken completely. At that point...
Fang Chen gazed into the distance beyond the Thunder Abyss, a hint of coldness in his eyes. A beast at the peak of the Primordial Embryo Realm already possessed considerable Spirit Intelligence. Once it fully awakened, it would understand what had transpired. By then, leveraging this beast's power, it would be uncertain who would be pursuing whom.
"Rise!" Fang Chen shouted again. This time, he pressed both hands firmly against the Soul-Searching Incense. Veins bulged on his arms as a rumbling sound echoed from beneath the ground.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ground cracked, stones shattered, and a thunderous noise erupted. The grayish-white lines spreading across the ground beneath the nine Soul-Searching Incense seemed to connect all nine together; attempting to remove one was akin to directly removing all nine!
One by one, the Soul-Searching Incense began to slowly rise from the ground.
A roar echoed through the air...
Sensing its own crisis, the clusters of souls sealed within the Soul-Searching Incense suddenly twisted wildly, emitting piercing wails, a formless soul shockwave sweeping towards Fang Chen.
"Trivial skills!" Fang Chen scoffed. For an ordinary Transcendence Realm Warrior, this soul shockwave might pose a significant problem, but for him, it was nothing at all.
A tremendous surge of Divine Consciousness Power erupted, transforming in mid-air into a massive hand that directly shattered the soul shockwave. Immediately afterward, the nine sticks of Soul-Searching Incense were finally pulled out of the ground.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Six burning sticks of Soul-Searching Incense left the ground, and the souls sealed within them exploded, leaving only three unburned sticks of Soul-Searching Incense intact. Fang Chen swept them into his sleeve.
This treasure, capable of inducing dizziness and soul loss invisibly, was indeed rare; Fang Chen would not waste it.
As the nine sticks of Soul-Searching Incense lifted from the ground, the eerie aura that had enveloped the surroundings and caused soul disorientation rapidly dissipated. On the ground, the Pangolin Beast, which had been sleeping with its eyes closed, suddenly opened its crimson eyes.
This time, those eyes, resembling high-hanging red lanterns, were devoid of any drowsiness; all that remained was boundless ferocity.
Boom!
Its mountain-like body shook violently, and then its thick legs, resembling towering pillars, gradually straightened. The Pangolin Demon stood up for the first time.
"Roar!"
It howled at the sky.
As it roared, a frenzy of wind surged around it, sweeping in all directions and carrying its furious roar far away.
"What a fierce roar! What did those two do?"
"These two guys from the Jincheng Sect are done for!"
"Hehe, with nine sticks of Soul-Searching Incense, two more are about to be lit."
Outside the Thunder Abyss, as they listened to the howls of Frenzy coming from within, Qian Sheng and his group laughed gleefully.
Beside them, Xiao Xingkong did not laugh; instead, he frowned. At that moment, as the earth-shattering roars echoed, an inexplicable sense of unease suddenly surfaced in his heart, as if something was amiss.
Suddenly, his body trembled, and his pupils constricted sharply.
"This roar is too shocking!" He finally realized what was wrong.
Although all nine incense sticks had not yet been lit, six had already been ignited. Under such circumstances, how could the Pangolin Beast still emit such a terrifying roar?
Could it be...
Before Xiao Xingkong could think further, a gust of Frenzy's fierce wind swept out from the Thunder Abyss. Within that wind, a massive figure stepped forward!
