Supreme Initial True Water, which concerns the Body Refining Divine Realm, he is determined to obtain.
Even if there are mountains of knives and seas of flames, he will bravely venture in.
Shen Xuan took a deep breath, and the spiritual power within him circulated, his figure gradually fading until he perfectly merged into the surrounding environment, completely concealing his aura.
In the next moment, he transformed into an almost imperceptible transparent escape light, silently tearing through the morning mist, speeding towards the direction of the underground abyss indicated by the Jade Scroll.
The mountain wind swept across, gently shaking the branches and leaves of ancient trees.
...
The entrance to the underground abyss was as black as ink, like a giant mouth waiting to devour, exuding a heart-stopping deadly stillness.
Even the divine sense of cultivators would find it hard to reach far in this place.
Shen Xuan did not rashly rush in.
With a slight movement of his divine thought, the mouth of the leather pouch at his waist opened, and over ten thousand shadow-devouring demon insects flowed silently like a black tide, first pouring into the abyss to become the vanguard for his exploration.
A moment later, with feedback from the insect king, only then did Shen Xuan conceal his aura, merging his form into the darkness like an invisible green smoke, quietly slipping into the underground abyss.
Inside the abyss, light had completely vanished.
Even the divine sense of cultivators was significantly shortened.
Shen Xuan fully released his talents of perception.
[Insight], [Sharp-eyed], [Smell and Taste], [Ears Listening in All Directions]...
The surrounding mottled and damp earthen walls were covered with jagged strange stones, with slippery and cold dark green moss growing in the crevices.
The air was filled with a stenching that mixed the decay of soil and unknown biological decline, oppressive enough to make one suffocate.
Underfoot were sharp stones piled up for years, one carelessness would tear through the magic robe and harm the skin.
Passages intertwined, as complex as a maze, leading who knows where.
However, what tightened Shen Xuan’s heart the most was the ubiquitous faint glow in the darkness.
Those were countless pairs of eyes, staring deadly at him, the intruder, from every corner.
"Squeak squeak!"
Suddenly, an ear-piercing screech came from the front.
Several bloodthirsty demon bats with wings spanning over a yard, their eyes glowing red, dove down like specters from the top of the rock wall.
Each had a mouthpiece as long as a foot, as red as blood, sharp as needles, glinting with a chilling gleam in the darkness.
Like a signal.
"Squeak squeak squeak..."
More screeches echoed like a tide from all directions.
Thousands upon thousands of bloodthirsty demon bats surged out from countless forked paths and caves, converging into a black frenzy that blotted out the sky, carrying a bloody wind, and madly pouncing towards Shen Xuan.
They were in perfect order, evidently subject to unified instructions.
"Hmph!"
Shen Xuan coldly snorted, his divine thought urged the shadow-devouring demon insects to meet them head-on.
"Buzz!"
The black insect cloud emitted a deep hum, fearlessly rushing towards the bat swarm.
In an instant, the two dark creatures clashed fiercely in the narrow passage, biting into each other.
The sound of wings flapping, shells cracking, bats’ screeches, and insects’ hissing mixed into a cacophony, the battle quickly entering a fever pitch.
Shen Xuan did not stand idly by.
He pointed his fingers like a sword, the fiery light flame saber shot skywards, transforming into a crimson golden streak.
The blade contained a trace of Sun True Fire that exploded violently, the supreme yang and firm aura was precisely the nemesis of these sinister demon creatures.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Shen Xuan’s divine sense locked onto several powerful tier-two bat kings among the swarm.
The knife light was like electricity, precisely executing them.
Every flicker turned a bat king into charcoal amidst their screams, falling from the air.
The fight was intense and brutal.
The demon bats seemed unaware of fear, charging continuously, fighting until death and never retreating.
On the ground, the corpses of bats and insects quickly piled up, the bloody smell was nauseatingly strong.
After an unknown amount of time had passed, when the last demon bat was torn apart by the insects, the abyss passage finally returned to silent stillness, leaving only a mess and lingering heavy blood stench.
Shen Xuan slowly exhaled a turbid breath, his expression solemn.
"No wonder the sects of Yue Country have listed this place as a forbidden zone. Just these swarms of bloodthirsty demon bats are enough to annihilate any Foundation Establishment team."
"However, I cannot afford to waste time like this."
Shen Xuan dismissed the shadow-devouring demon insects, leaving only two insect kings and a dozen tier-two guardians.
Afterwards, he issued a command to move forward quickly.
He followed right after.
Not long after Shen Xuan departed.
A transparent shadow appeared.
It was Hua Yanting.
She glanced at the piled-up bat corpses on the ground, murmuring to herself, "Found you, True Master Profound Ice Shen Xuan!"
