Chapter 167: The Bottom of the Abyss

word order from Zhao Baihu and was about to leave."Big brother, big brother!!"Zhao Qing hugged Zhao Ling's body, crying hysterically, and he also roared, "Su Xin, you killed my brother, my father will...Soon, the Sixth Mountain Master returned to Jiusheng Mountain.

When he returned, the sword in his hand was already stained red with blood.

Within the Nine Saints Mountain, many saw the return of the Sixth Mountain Master and were astonished. They had no idea what the Sixth Mountain Master had done.

Not until half an hour later, when news came from the Heavenly God Palace, did they learn that just now, the Sixth Mountain Master alone had directly slain into the Heavenly God Palace's lair, and was wreaking havoc within. He single-handedly fought against the three Palace Masters of the Heavenly God Palace, but suppressed them completely.

Even within the Heavenly Palace, where countless powerful beings reside, they are powerless to stop the Sixth Mountain Master's rampage.

Until the very end, the first Palace Master of Ten Heaven Palace, who had been in seclusion for years, was forced to appear and finally drove back the sixth Mountain Master.

And in this battle, the three palace masters of Tianshen Palace were all severely injured. The palm of Zi Chen Palace Master was even severed on the spot.

Even the transcendent powerhouses of the Heavenly Palace were affected, resulting in the direct demise of four Saints, including the Devilheart Saint Lord.

And those numerous Nirvana Realm experts died hundreds on the spot.

As for the sixth mountain master, he retreated completely!

News broke that the entire Jiusheng Mountain was in an uproar!! Remember the URL

……

The fourth realm, at the very center of Yan Shui Lake.

That terrifying abyss at the center of the lake, like a monstrous beast with a gaping maw, devoured everything around it frantically.

And Su Xin was plunged into the very bottom of the abyss, with terrifying forces pressing down on him from all directions, as if they were going to tear apart his body and his soul.

He couldn't bear the pain at all, his consciousness gradually slipping into a coma.

As consciousness ebbed, he faintly heard a voice at his ear.

"Humans, I haven't seen one in ages, and this one looks so delicate and tender. It must taste delicious.

"Eat him"

"No, no. Master's orders were clear: give anyone who comes here a chance. Bring them to the dungeon first. If they can't escape, then we eat them."

……

After an unknown amount of time, Su Xin's consciousness gradually recovered.

"Am I, not dead yet"

Su Xin opened his eyes, looking around in a daze.

Before your eyes, there was a pitch-black and murky lake. Sounds of dark currents surging could be faintly heard, clearly indicating that he was still within the lake. However, an area around him seemed to be self-contained, preventing the surrounding lake water from flowing in.

"Here, could this be the bottom of the lake's abyss" Su Xin exclaimed in surprise.

The Heart of the Lake Abyss, a place that strikes fear into the hearts of countless powerful beings in Qingxuan Domain, was where he had ventured before. Desperate for a sliver of hope, he'd plunged into its depths, expecting to meet his end there. But now, he saw himself alive.

At least I'm still alive now.

"Human boy, you've woken up," a deep voice suddenly boomed.

"Is anyone there" Su Xin's expression changed instantly.

Could there be someone at the very bottom of the lake

"Noticing Su Xin, he immediately reacted. "

Although he didn't know who was speaking, the other party called him "human boy". Could it be that the other party wasn't human

"A little guy from the Nirvana Realm, actually came here. It's hard to say if you're lucky or unlucky," said the thick voice.

"Was it lucky or unlucky" Su Xin wondered.

That thick voice continued, "Since you've been able to make it here, it means you have a great connection to the thing your master left behind. And according to what your master instructed, any human attracted by that thing, whether they want to or not, must undergo his arranged rebirth-or-death trial!"

You can only obtain that item and leave this place by passing this test.

"That thing A test of life and death" Su Xin's heart moved.

He understood that the thing being spoken of by that deep voice was undoubtedly the object that had been communicating with him telepathically since he first stepped foot in Yan Shui Lake, calling out to him.

As for what kind of tests regarding life and death await him, he remains unaware at this time.

"Listen closely, human boy. The space you are in now is rather special; it's akin to a prison. What you must do is escape from this prison."

You have a full three years to try. When three years are up, if you haven't been able to get out of prison, then it's a failure.

"Once you fail, it's death!!"

A deep, booming voice echoed through the space beneath the lake.

"Failure, does it mean death"

Su Xin's eyes darkened, and he immediately wanted to get up and investigate the prison space he was in.

As soon as he got up, a piercing pain shot through him, causing Su Xin to smile wryly.

Before he plunged into the abyss at the heart of the lake, he was immediately subjected to the terrifying force of engulfment and the frenzied impact of the water. His body felt as if it were being torn apart completely. To be able to survive by sheer luck was already an act of burning high incense, but his injuries were still severe.

He can only spend a few days first, recovering his injuries to a certain extent, before he starts investigating the prison space around him.

"Is this... prohibited"

Su Xin not only scrutinized with his eyes but also let his spiritual consciousness spread out. The first feeling he got was that the prison space felt like a restriction.

But upon closer inspection, it was clearly not the case.

"...is not a prohibition, nor an array formation, it seems to be an incredibly unique method."

"Let's try breaking it open by force first..." Su Xin flipped his hand, and the Zi Xue Shen Jian appeared in his hand.

Within this prison cell, he began to practice swordsmanship, attempting to break through it head-on.

In just a moment, Su Xin stopped his movements.

"This prison is unlike any other!"

"With my current strength, it's impossible to break through by force. Even if my swordsmanship were a hundred or thousand times stronger, it would still be impossible to break through."

Su Xin frowned tightly, already understanding that trying to forcibly break out of this prison was absolutely impossible.

He must find a way, find the trick.

Su Xin retracted his divine sword, took a deep breath, and then sat down directly, beginning to carefully observe the prison space before him.

He felt that in order to truly walk out of this prison, he first had to understand it sufficiently.

And though Su Xin felt a degree of fear being trapped in this prison space, he still managed to remain calm.

From a young age, he understood one principle: no matter the situation, absolute calmness was needed. Only then could he make the best judgments and find a sliver of hope.

Time passed slowly.

Inside Mount Jiusheng, although several days have passed since the chase against Su Xin, the commotion caused back then was so great that many people are still discussing it to this day.

"That Su Xin, it's such a pity. He had incredible talent. If he could have grown up, there was a high chance he would become the seventh mountain master of our Jiusheng Mountain, but now…"

It is said that the Heavenly God Palace sent four powerful Venerables to kill him, even the Shadow Venerable made a personal move. Although they eventually forced Su Xin into the depths of the lake, among those four Venerables, the Fire Burning Venerable and the Nine Battles Venerable were killed by Su Xin. It is also said that Xue Dao Wang was extremely miserable, both his legs were gone.

"What is this The Sixth Mountain Master is the real ruthless one. He single-handedly wielded his sword and stormed into the Heavenly Palace, overpowering all three palace masters. In the end, he severely injured the three palace masters, even killing four transcending experts on the spot! That's truly terrifying!"

"Originally, I wanted Jiushengshan to wreak havoc on Tianshen Palace. But just the sixth mountain master alone made Tianshen Palace cry for their father and mother. It's said that the Purple Pool Palace Master had his palm severed by the sixth mountain master."

“The Sixth Mountain Master is simply too powerful. Although he only became a Mountain Master not long ago, his strength surpasses the three Palace Masters of the Heavenly God Palace by so much. Among the six Mountain Masters of my Nine Saints Mountain, I'm afraid that besides the First Mountain Master, the Sixth Mountain Master is the most powerful.”

There was much discussion among the people.

On one hand, I feel sorry for the death of Su Xin, this peerless genius.

On the other hand, they were shocked by the terrifying power of the Sixth Mountain Master.

In one corner of the open square, two figures sat facing each other.

"Master Situ, now that Su Xin is dead, your Situ family can rest assured and deal with the Su family." Liu Chong took a sip of wine and said with a smile.

I know

Opposite Liu Chong sat Situ Bolei, the head of the Situ family who had only recently broken through to the Nirvana realm. Shortly after his breakthrough to the Nirvana realm, he also entered Jiusheng Mountain, of course, as just an ordinary outer member.

"Su Xin!"

As soon as he heard the name, Si Tu Bo Lei's eyes were filled with boundless hatred and killing intent.

"Kill my ancestor, even if you're dead, I won't let you get away with it," Si Tu Bolei's eyes were cold.

He had already thought it through, and next, he was going to figure out how to deal with the Su family.

Before, with Su Xin around, no one dared to infringe on the Su family even a little bit.

Now that Su Xin's dead, it's a completely different story.

"I want the Su family to be wiped out, all of them to bury my ancestor!" Situ Bole thought viciously.

Meanwhile, in the Qi Wangfu of the Tianyan Imperial Dynasty, within that dimly lit room.

"Su Xin, he's actually dead"

Then the Prince Qi, with his remaining eight-character beard, lifted his head. The brush in his hand, which had been drawing, came to a halt as well.

"It's a pity, it's a shame.

King Qi nodded lightly, though he had previously sent the "Nine Assassins" to assassinate Su Xin, it couldn't change his admiration for him.

On the contrary, he was also quite looking forward to Su Xin's growth. He was very curious to know where Su Xin would finally end up.

But now....

"My lord, after Su Xin's death, the one from Mount Jiusheng sent a message, saying they wanted us to cooperate with the Situ family to attack the Su family," said the gray-robed elder at the front.

"That Liu Chong is truly determined to wipe out the Su family," the Prince Qi laughed. "Forget it, since Su Xin is already dead, whether the Su family exists or not doesn't matter anymore. Just agree to him."

However, remember not to be too blatant. After all, Su Xin is a disciple of the sixth mountain master of Jiusheng Mountain. If we openly confront his family right after he died, the sixth mountain master probably won't stand idly by.

"Besides, it's said that the Su family ancestor back then had a certain relationship with a big shot on Jiusheng Mountain. It's still best to be careful.

The subordinate understood and nodded. The gray-robed elder turned and left.

After the grey-cloaked elder left, this Prince Qi let out an evil smile, "The Sixth Mountain Master… having only become master less than a hundred years ago, he managed to suppress the three Palace Masters of the Heavenly God Palace with his own power. Even the First Palace Master himself taking action was futile. This kind of ability is quite interesting!"

It seems like we need to have those people pay more attention to this Sixth Mountain Master.

……ly.Just now, that strike was already his strongest ultimate move, yet it was still shattered head-on by Xia Mang. This battle has no suspense left.I admit defeat. Duan Yunfeng directly chose to admit...
