572 Wu Jiong (Part 2)
This abyssal being was at the World Creator realm level. It opened its eyes and looked in Wu Jiong’s direction.
If it wanted to escape the chaos abyss, it would definitely have to snatch Wu Jiong’s treasure.
The abyssal being slowly stood up and released its aura.
The aura from his body was slowly released.
However, its movements seemed slightly disjointed from having not moved in many years.
Chu Xuan decided to give this human a warning. After all, he could learn more about the current situation of the human race and the chaos from him.
Wu Jiong continued to advance at high speed. He was a little anxious.
He had to find the corpse as soon as possible!
Suddenly, he received a thought transmission.
“Retreat quickly. You’ve alerted a strong guy below.”
“Who is it?”
Wu Jiong’s face paled.
The thought transmission had come without warning, and it had completely ignored his mental defenses as well.
What kind of strength was this?
It had to be a World Creator realm expert!
“It’ll be too late if you don’t retreat now.”
Wu Jiong stopped, gritted his teeth, and left.
Not long after he left, he sensed a terrifying aura emerge behind him.
A powerful abyssal being was chasing after him.
His expression changed drastically, and the yellow barrier became brighter as he poured more and more power into the supreme treasure.
“Leave the treasure behind!”
A terrifying roar was heard as a giant claw emerged from behind him.
Boom!
At this critical moment, Wu Jiong’s figure suddenly charged out of the chaos abyss.
The giant claw was blocked, unable to leave the chaos abyss.
The abyssal being below released an earth-shaking roar as it rushed up and tried to break free from the chaos abyss.
“Hand over the treasure and I’ll give you an opportunity!”
Wu Jiong ignored it and frantically flew away.
This operation had failed.
Were it not for Chu Xuan’s timely reminder, it was likely that he would have perished.
“Many thanks for Senior’s life-saving grace,” Wu Jiong said respectfully after leaving the chaos abyss.
“The human race has ten ancestors, which one are you?”
“I’m not one of the ten ancestors of the human race. My name is Wu Jiong, a personal disciple of the seventh ancestor, Wu,” Wu Jiong said respectfully.
The corpse in the chaos abyss was the seventh ancestor of the human race?
“May I ask who you are?”
Wu Jiong asked carefully.
This expert was mysterious and unfathomable, and his thought transmission had completely ignored his mental defenses.
It could even be transmitted into the chaos abyss.
Could it be a powerful chaotic being?
“I’m just an idle person.”
Chu Xuan naturally wouldn’t say his name.
“I’ve heard that the human race has ten ancestors. I wonder who they are?”
Wu Jiong was slightly hesitant. Could it be that the other party was trying to obtain information about the human race to attack them?
On second thought, it was not hard to find out the names of the ten ancestors of the human race.
What harm was there in telling the other party?
Moreover, the other party had not shown any malicious intent yet.
“The ten ancestors of the human race were the ten leaders who led the rise of the human race in history,” he said.
Chu Xuan nodded. It was as he expected.
The first ancestor Chu, second ancestor Xia, third ancestor Ji, fourth ancestor Hong, fifth ancestor Yue, sixth ancestor Luo, seventh ancestor Wu, eighth ancestor Zhou, ninth ancestor Ji and tenth ancestor Yang.
“Third ancestor Ji, fifth ancestor Yue, and seventh ancestor Wu have all fallen,” Wu Jiong added.
There were only seven of the ten ancestors of the human race left.
Chu Xuan knew the fourth ancestor Hong. He was Hong Yuanchu’s ancestor.
The sixth ancestor Luo should be Luo Xinbai’s ancestor.
The human king technique he cultivated should have come from the sixth ancestor Luo.
Ninth ancestor Ji was likely the ancestor of the ancient human king Ji family.
Did Ji Dexin know the ancestor?
Each of the 10 ancestors of the human race should have created a bloodline and inheritance, for example Wu’s path of martial intent.
He was curious though. Given Yang’s limited strength, how did he manage to lead the human race to rise to power and become the tenth ancestor?
“I’ve heard of Yang, who’s supposed to be the tenth ancestor of the human race, but…”
Chu Xuan did not say it clearly, but his meaning was clear.
“The tenth ancestor… Although he’s not very strong, there are reasons behind his status.”
Wu Jiong was clearly standing for Yang.
Chu Xuan thought for a moment. For Yang to become the tenth ancestor, there had to be something extraordinary about him.
“Why did you enter the chaos abyss?”
Chu Xuan asked about Wu Jiong’s intentions.
Wu Jiong was silent for a moment, then finally said, “For the sake of my master’s corpse.”
He then bowed and said, “Senior, can you please enlighten me?”
Chu Xuan did not wait for him to finish and laughed. “The time is not right yet.”
Wu Jiong was startled.
The time was not right?
Chu Xuan memorized Wu Jiong’s aura and did not continue the conversation. Instead he turned his attention back to the corpse.
The corpse’s martial intent was still present, so he was not completely dead.
As long as the martial intent was present, there was a chance he could recover.
Chu Xuan then turned his attention to the entrance of the chaos abyss’ ancient path. There were still many abyssal beings gathered there, and many of them were Daoyuan realm existences.
From time to time, these Daoyuan realm existences would go crazy and slaughter the Dao realm abyssal beings nearby to vent their violent and crazy emotions.
Chu Xuan also saw that not far from the entrance of the abyss, there were a few abyssal beings that had reached the Nine Extreme Daoyuan realm sitting quietly, waiting to enter the ancient path.
Chu Xuan followed the ancient path toward the nine zones. Along the way, he saw an endless number of abyssal beings, far too many to count.
One could imagine how great the pressure on the nine zones was.
Further along, he saw Hei Yue and hundreds of Dao realm abyssal beings sitting cross-legged around her.
These former abyssal beings were willing to be her slaves as long as they could leave the chaos abyss.
Chu Xuan sighed. Hei Yue’s domain was quite unusual. Given enough time, she would grow to the point where she could wipe out the chaos abyss created by the Ancient Chaos God.
In the chaos, there were many abysses of all sizes, and countless abyssal beings were suppressed within them.
Hei Yue would be their savior.
She would be able to free them and create and preside over a powerful force within the chaos.
Hei Yue was currently erasing the mark of an abyssal being.
It was a reddish figure that was similar to one of the abyssal beings that Chu Xuan had seen at the bottom of the abyss.
It was only a 20th-level Dao realm existence, but its eyes were more alive than the other abyssal beings. Clearly, it had retained a portion of its consciousness.
The abyssal imprint on its body contained the power of the abyss, so even Hei Yue found it difficult. She could indeed erase abyssal imprints, but that ability had its limits.
There was a limit to the number of abyssal imprints that could be erased every day, and the consumption of spiritual power was significant.
Boom!
The reddish figure trembled, and then the abyssal imprint was removed and extracted, before being devoured by the power of the laws around Hei Yue.
Within the pearl of the laws of retribution, the dot of light representing the master of the chaos abyss became even redder.
