BANG!
With a thunderous BANG, the “guardian spirit” that had withstood attacks from many before now exploded under Jiang Chengxuan’s single strike, immediately falling.
This scene shocked Leng Yuehua, Wen Yuxiao, and others nearby.
They never expected the “guardian spirit,” previously unharmed by numerous attacks, would fall directly under Jiang Chengxuan’s single blow.
Such power was almost beyond belief.
“Let’s go!”
However, Jiang Chengxuan did not give everyone much time to be astonished.
After signaling them, he immediately led the way towards the garden’s exit at a rapid pace.
Hearing this, everyone quickly regained their senses.
Given Jiang Chengxuan’s urgency to leave, it seemed something truly terrifying might happen within the natural herb garden soon.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Just as Jiang Chengxuan and his group were about to rush out of the garden s exit, the entire place suddenly seemed to come alive.
The ground and the sky violently shook, and dark fissures began to spread everywhere, resembling an ever-extending spider web.
Those unlucky enough to be touched by these dark fissures instantly melted away like snow under the sun, turning to ash in moments.
This spectacle terrified everyone within the garden.
Some who had received Jiang Chengxuan’s warning turned pale and, without a second thought, frantically flew towards the exit.
Crack—
Suddenly, those dark fissures widened dramatically.
Then, in those expanding fissures, a gigantic eye, evil in essence and red-black in color, appeared.
“Arghhhh!”
Everyone caught by that eye’s gaze quickly sprouted red-black fur, transforming into monstrous beings neither human nor beast in an instant.
These creatures, several meters long, covered in dense red-black fur with sharp claws, exuded a red-black aura that could not be dispelled.
They looked at the cultivators fleeing in every direction with a brutal and savage gleam in their eyes.
“Abyssal Seed!
They’ve all turned into Abyssal Seeds!”
A cultivator, seemingly recognizing the transformed monsters, exclaimed in horror.
“That must have been the legendary Abyssal Eye. Anyone it gazes upon will be instantly transformed into an Abyssal Seed!”
At that moment, everyone’s complexion turned deathly pale.
It was beyond anyone’s imagination that such an ordinary natural herb garden could suddenly manifest an Abyssal Eye.
Could it be that this garden had been invaded by the Abyssal beings from the beginning?
Only such an explanation seemed to make sense of the terrifying events unfolding.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh
in this dire moment, countless cultivators were frantically flying towards the
exit of the herb garden.
To their despair, the space around them seemed to have solidified.
No matter how they tried to fly, their speed was agonizingly slow, comparable to a turtle’s crawl.
After a great effort, they had only moved a little distance.
At this rate, it seemed impossible to escape the garden even if they continued for decades or centuries.
“We can’t be trapped here; otherwise, none of us will survive!
A man from Divine Shadow Gate, known as Saint White Witch, spoke up with gritted teeth.
He was among those who had received Jiang Chengxuan’s message not long ago.
Although he hadn’t dismissed Jiang’s warning entirely, he hadn’t taken it as seriously as he should have, a decision he now deeply regretted.
Fortunately, he possessed a life-saving trump card bestowed by the leader of Divine Shadow Gate.
As he formed a hand seal,
The next moment, a talisman on his body burst into flames and transformed into a flying boat, appearing in front of Saint White Witch and the others.
“Quickly, get on and leave this place immediately.”
Saint White Witch urged everyone present.
He was the first to leap onto the flying boat, and others quickly followed.
There was a whoosh.
Those who were previously unable to accelerate suddenly vanished from their original location with the help of the extraordinary flying boat.
At the same time.
Jiang Chengxuan and the others had successfully escaped the herb garden, but the sight of the expanding black fissures and the cultivators transformed into Abyssal Seeds inside painted a grim picture.
It was clear that if Jiang Chengxuan hadn’t led them to leave early, most of them, including high-ranking cultivators like Leng Yuehua and Wen Yuxiao, might have faced deadly peril.
“Junior Brother Jiang, what exactly is this herb garden…?”
Upon Wen Yuxiao’s inquiry about the true nature of the herb garden, everyone’s attention turned to Jiang Chengxuan, eager for his insights.
Jiang Chengxuan didn’t hold back his thoughts.
As they continued to distance themselves from the site, he shared,
“If my guess is correct, this herb garden has likely been invaded by the Abyss. And I suspect that this isn’t the only place affected.”
“You mean…?”
Leng Yuehua, Wen Yuxiao, and the others narrowed their eyes.
“That’s right.”
Jiang Chengxuan nodded.
At this moment, his expression could not help but become a little solemn. “There might be many other places experiencing similar situations.
After all, our exploration of this new world has only just scratched the surface. There are still vast areas uncharted by us, and it’s conceivable that Abyssal Demons could lurk in those unexplored territories.”
At this moment, no matter who was present, they could no longer maintain their calm.
Because they all realized a problem.
If the Abyssal Demons had indeed invaded this new world, could they leverage it as a stepping stone to invade their home realm, the vast Floodgate Realm, in the near future?
This was very possible.
Without intervention, an invasion of the Floodgate Realm by Abyssal Demons seemed not a question of if but when, given their notorious aggression.
