Chapter 3303: 魁元族奎风

The Demonic Abyss Ruins are located in the central part of Xuanguang Continent. This place is filled with dense Yin energy and is home to a large number of high-level spectral beings. Even Integration Stage cultivators risk perishing if they enter.

A streak of azure light appeared on the distant horizon, swiftly flying towards this location.

Soon after, the azure light stopped, revealing an azure-glowing flying boat. Wang Changsheng and five others stood on the boat, with Wang Chan and Wang Can positioned at the very back.

"We've finally arrived," True Monarch Sihai breathed a sigh of relief.

Along their journey, they encountered many alien races and tried to avoid them. They also faced attacks from alien cultivators, but none were a match for them and were all eliminated.

"So this is the Demonic Abyss Ruins!" Wang Changsheng murmured to himself. Following his gaze, an endless black mountain range stretched into view. The sky above was also black, and chilling winds gusted incessantly.

For Wang Can and Wang Chan, the spectral beings of the Demonic Abyss Ruins were a great source of nourishment.

Wang Changsheng formed a hand seal, and the Azure Luan Boat immediately glowed brightly, soaring towards the Demonic Abyss Ruins.

Upon entering the Demonic Abyss Ruins, Wang Changsheng felt the temperature plummet. After traveling over a hundred thousand li, he could hear a series of mournful wails from spectral beings.

The Azure Luan Boat proceeded slowly deeper into the Demonic Abyss Ruins. Along the way, they encountered many low-level spectral beings, which Wang Can could handle by himself.

More than a month later, the Azure Luan Boat appeared above a vast, boundless black plain. The sky was black, dense Yin energy permeated the surroundings, and the wails of ghosts and howls of wolves echoed ceaselessly.

"There are spectral beings hiding nearby," Wang Can said, pointing at the ground.

No sooner had he spoken than mounds of earth swelled from the ground, and giant skeletons wreathed in black mist burrowed out from beneath. Wang Can and Wang Chan's eyes lit up. They quickly spewed forth enchanting light, covering the skeletons, and clusters of light masses were drawn into their mouths and disappeared.

These spectral beings were eliminated by Wang Can and Wang Chan before they even had a chance to attack Wang Changsheng and his three companions. Once hit by the enchanting light, they were like fish on a chopping board, completely at the mercy of Wang Can and Wang Chan.

In less than half an hour, all these spectral beings were annihilated by them, including two at the Integration Stage. A loud bang echoed from the distance, and a massive crimson fireball appeared on the far horizon.

"Two Integration Stage cultivators are approaching," Wang Changsheng warned. His spiritual sense detected two Integration Stage cultivators flying towards their location. Soon after, a streak of azure light and a streak of crimson light appeared on the distant horizon, moving rapidly. "Go save them; perhaps they know something about the Nether River Water," Wang Changsheng instructed.

Wang Can and Wang Chan acknowledged, then leaped out and flew forth.

The two streaks of light stopped, revealing a handsome young man in azure robes and a beautiful young woman in a crimson dress. Both had exquisite, naturally formed patterns at the corners of their eyes, and their physiques were considerably larger than those of humans.

"Kuaiyuan Race!" Wang Ruyan recognized their identities.

The azure-robed young man's face was pale, with a bleeding hole in his left shoulder. The crimson-dressed young woman was panting, her eyes filled with terror, suggesting they had encountered a formidable spectral being.

A streak of bloody light pursued them relentlessly, moving at high speed.

Wang Can and Wang Chan each spewed forth dense, slender golden light, directly targeting the bloody light.

At the same time, a shimmering golden giant cicada appeared above their heads, activating its Dharma Idol to attack the spectral being.

The bloody light stopped, revealing a malevolent ghost with blood-red horns on its head. It resembled a gigantic ape, radiating a powerful Yin energy, and was an Integration Stage late-phase spectral being.

The spectral being dared not directly confront the slender golden light. It opened its mouth and spewed a murky gray hurricane, blocking the incoming golden light.

Two streaks of golden light descended from the sky. The spectral being transformed into an afterimage and flew back along its original path at great speed. It was not foolish and had no intention of fighting six Integration Stage cultivators to the death.

A world-shaking thunderclap resounded from high in the sky, as tens of thousands of thick silver lightning bolts rained down. Although the spectral being was very fast, the sheer number of silver lightning bolts was overwhelming. It was struck, letting out a shriek, its speed diminished, and its aura weakened.

Innumerable slender golden threads shot forth. The spectral being spewed a crimson flame, but it could not withstand the golden light, which pierced through its body. This was precisely the Soul-Fixing Enchantment Light.

The spectral being immediately lost all ability to resist and was devoured by Wang Can and Wang Chan.

All things in existence have a natural balance of mutual generation and restraint. An ordinary early-Integration Stage cultivator would be no match for this spectral being, but Wang Can and Wang Chan were born with an inherent ability to suppress spectral beings and spirits.

Witnessing this scene, the azure-robed young man and the crimson-dressed young woman were stunned. They had nearly been killed by the spectral being, yet their saviors had effortlessly annihilated it.

"I am Kui Feng of the Kuaiyuan Race. Many thanks, fellow Daoist, for your timely assistance. May I know your esteemed name?" the azure-robed young man asked politely, his expression tense.

It would certainly not be difficult for the other party to kill them if they wished.

"My surname is Wang," Wang Changsheng replied. "I wish to inquire of Fellow Daoist Kui about the whereabouts of the Nether River Water. Do you know where it can be found?"

The Kuaiyuan Race and the Bloodshadow Race were mortal enemies, and the enemy of one's enemy was a friend.

"Nether River Water? We know of a place where it might be found, but it's extremely dangerous," the crimson-dressed young woman said. "There are some mutated spectral beings there that are very difficult to deal with." She then took out a piece of azure beast hide and handed it to Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng took the beast hide; it was a topographical map with some marked locations.

"The areas marked in gold might contain Nether River Water. We've found it in that vicinity before, so Fellow Daoist Wang can try his luck there," Kui Feng explained. "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Wang, for saving our lives. This is a small token of our appreciation, though it hardly conveys our gratitude." He then took out two exquisite black jade boxes and handed them to Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng took the black jade boxes and opened them to find a Profound Yin Grass, over twenty thousand years old, in each. "Many thanks, Fellow Daoist Kui. Please be careful. We still have important matters to attend to!" Wang Changsheng said. He then formed a hand seal, and the Azure Luan Boat immediately flared with azure light, soaring towards the sky, with Wang Can and Wang Chan quickly following.

Kui Feng and the crimson-dressed young woman breathed a sigh of relief. They had indeed worried that Wang Changsheng might kill them for their treasures.

"Let's go! We should head back quickly!" Kui Feng urged, "This time, we owe our lives to a human cultivator, or we would have died here." He and the crimson-dressed young woman then departed from the area.

More than a month later, the Azure Luan Boat appeared above a dense black forest. Wang Changsheng held an azure beast hide in his hand, his expression solemn.

Following the map provided by Kui Feng, they arrived here. Along the way, they encountered numerous Integration Stage spectral beings. Wang Lin, Wang Can, and Wang Chan teamed up and swiftly eliminated these creatures.

Wang Tun Tian stood at the forefront, his eyes gleaming with golden light.

"There's a small pool in a cave ahead. I'm not sure if it's Nether River Water!" Wang Tun Tian announced.

"No spectral beings found?" Wang Changsheng asked with a frown.

"No, and there are no spirit herbs inside the cave either," Wang Tun Tian shook his head.

Wang Changsheng formed a hand seal, and the Azure Luan Boat flew forward slowly.

After a while, the Azure Luan Boat appeared above a valley shrouded in Yin energy.
