System: Replicating The Heavens-Chapter 268 Ch 268: Mouth Of Abyss
Alex returned to the Inferno Kingdom and went to look for Max and Amilia. However, he was shocked to learn that they have been not seen in the Inferno Kingdom for more than three years now.
Alex was really astounded when he heard this.
It turned out that Max and Amilia have disappeared for three whole years, and no one had seen them again.
He immediately understood that they must enter the tomb of the Earth Demon Emperor and have yet to come out.
He knows very well that some tombs have such opportunities and traps that it takes people years to come out from them. So it is not strange for the two of them to not come out of the tomb for years.
Since that was the case, then there was no meaning in staying in the Inferno Kingdom. Alex chose to go to the Mouth of Abyss directly which was sealed by the Fire Emperor.
However, fearing that the demons might break the seal and come out again, he never left the mouth of the abyss and stayed there to keep an eye on the seal.
.....
In the far west, the mountains are deserted.
This place was filled with thick evil fog. No one knew how this evil fog was born. It existed extremely ancient and had existed since the Dark Age.
The deeper one went, the denser the evil fog became. Furthermore, this evil fog was filled with a strong sense of oppression.
Although any Extreme Void Stage martial warrior could withstand the evil fog at the edge of the area and would not be affected by it, however, once they reached the middle of the region, even they would not dare to go any deeper. That pressure was enough to crush them into pieces.
What was even more shocking was that within the Evil Fog, one's sense was compressed to the extreme. Even if an Extreme Void Stage expert stepped into the Evil Fog, their spiritual sense wouldn't exceed five meters.
Even the supreme existence in the Celestial River Stage would not dare to casually step into the deepest part of the fog.
The deepest part of this evil fog was the barrier that covered the sky. It was said that the world within this barrier was incomparably vast, and it was also the reason why all the races were coveting this world!
At the edge of the region enveloped by the jet-black baleful mist, the entire ground was riddled with holes. Densely packed bones and numerous shattered weapons were scattered all over the place, and just a single glance was sufficient to allow one to guess that this place had experienced a great battle.
There were even faint howls and howls that reverberated throughout this land, and it was extremely horrifying.
Not far away, there was a hole with a diameter of about 200 meters. It was bottomless, like an endless abyss that could devour people. This was the Mouth of Abyss!
At the bottom of the Mouth of Abyss, there was a vast space.
In this vast space, nine vast pillars of light stood up, illuminating the dark underground space until it was as bright as day. The nine pillars of light were actually emitted from the nine huge black balls. These black balls seemed to have been made up of strange black material, and they were exuding an extremely ancient aura.
A boundless ancient aura spread out from the nine huge balls. The patterns on the nine ancient balls seemed to have come alive. They were circulating with a mysterious radiance, causing the nine ancient balls to look incomparably strange!
These nine balls were actually High Grade Celestial Rank treasures.
The location where these Nine Balls were located was a huge altar. The altar was also engraved with dense patterns.
These patterns were circulating with a mysterious light. They interweaved with the dazzling light perfectly connecting the Nine Balls and the pattern!
In all, if a Formation Master was here, he would find that this entire altar was actually a formation and nine huge balls were connected with this formation. This formation was called Heaven Sealing Celestial Formation!
It was obtained from Ancient Ruin by the Fire Emperor. He had spent almost all of his effort to complete the inscription of this Celestial Formation.
It was also this Celestial Formation that sealed the mouth of the abyss and stopped demons from entering this world. For many years, it had prevented them from taking even half a step into this world.
Strands of celestial patterns lingered in the Mouth of Abyss, making it look like an illusion. Some of these celestial patterns merged with the ground, while the rest floated towards the sky above the Mouth of Abyss. They merged into the sky, completely isolating the abyss from the outside world.
Even the evil mist outside was faintly pushed away by these celestial patterns. Although these evil fog were terrifying, the evil fog ist at the border wasn't of much use to the Celestial River Stage martial warrior.
In the center of the Heaven Sealing Celestial Formation, a mighty figure sat cross-legged.
A powerful force was emitted from this figure. This force was divided into nine parts and poured into the Nine Balls, urging them to unleash a stronger power.
However, if one looked closely, one would notice that the Heaven Sealing Celestial Formation on the altar was already densely covered in cracks. Even with the support of the mighty figure, these cracks were still increasing.
This mighty figure was the current Fire Emperor of Inferno Kingdom!
For hundreds of years, Fire Emperor was here so that he could keep sealing the Mouth of Abyss!
However, demons always attacked the seal, wanting to break it apart and invade this world once again. An extremely long period of continuous attack from powerful Celestial River and Celestial Phenomenon Stage demons caused many cracks to appear on the nine ancient balls. At the same time, it also dealt heavy damage to the Heaven Sealing Celestial Formation.
With his own strength, Fire Emperor forcefully delayed this Heaven Sealing Celestial Formation from shattering.
However, after suppressing it for such a long time, even someone as powerful as Fire Emperor was powerless to reverse the situation.
"Cough!"
In the silent underground space, a cough sounded. Fire Emperor's tightly shut eyes suddenly opened, and a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth. The blood fell onto the altar and was absorbed by the Heaven Sealing Celestial Formation.
The white fog that lingered around Fire Emperor's body suddenly dissipated, revealing his pale face. At this moment, blood was seeping out of his facial features, making him look incomparably miserable.
Although he didn't have any injuries on his body, it gave people the feeling that he was like a lamp that had run out of oil.
"A disaster has finally arrived!"
"I have let down the Inferno Kingdom and all the humans who sacrificed their lives to protect the Inferno Kingdom!"
A sigh came out from Fire Emperor's mouth. At this moment, his body was emitting a despairing aura.
After years of continuous activation, he had already run out of fuel.
Although his combat strength was extraordinary, and he could compete with any Celestial Phenomenon Stage demon, he knew that there is a terrifying existence in the abyss who has already surpassed the Celestial phenomenon Stage. Even if he used all of his strength, he would not be able to face that demon.
As if in response to Fire Emperor's despair, a powerful and terrifying aura suddenly emerged in the Mouth of Abyss, causing the entire Mouth of Abyss to tremble violently. 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮
This terrifying force caused Fire Emperor's facial expression to change. Gritting his teeth, he wanted to raise his strength once more and activate the High Grade Treasures, Nine Ancient Balls. However, there was no longer any strength left in his body. No matter how hard he tried, there was nothing left. It was useful!
After the terrifying aura appeared, a crack on the altar suddenly expanded, as if something was trying to squeeze out from the crack.
"Hahaha, We are finally here again!"
"This familiar aura has really made me infatuated!"
A mocking and arrogant voice suddenly came out from the crack, shaking the entire Mouth of Abyss.
Accompanied by this wild laughter was intense pressure from the Celestial Phenomenon Stage demon!
No, there were many Celestial River Stage and a few hundred Celestial Phenomenon Stage demons. Fire Emperor could feel their aura. ƒ𝒓e𝐞we𝚋𝙣o𝚟𝚎𝘭.co𝙢
In an instant, this Celestial Phenomenon Stage pressure filled the entire Mouth of Abyss. It made Fire Emperor, who was already weak, break out in cold sweat. If it wasn't for the protection of the Nine Balls, just this pressure from so many experts alone would have injured him again.
Fire Emperor's expression changed dramatically, and despair reflected in his eyes.
He had thought that he could still hold on for a period of time, but he didn't expect the disaster to come so quickly!
Fortunately, he sent his successor away a few months ago already. Otherwise, his successor would have died from this pressure immediately.
