Chapter 1360: Chapter 1360: The Seduction of the Evil Spirit

“The torrent of time and space–he’s using some bizarre method to break our sealing force!”

“Not good, he’s heading toward the Demon Abyss. Stop him. You must stop him!”

The experts of Primal Heaven exclaimed in shock and rage.

The turn of events had surpassed their expectations. If he truly released the ancient evil from beyond the heavens, catastrophe would follow for the entire world.

“Using a seal to break a seal!”

The Gate of Sealing suddenly surged into action.

The Demon Abyss was also shrouded in a powerful sealing force; however, ninety percent of this force had been applied solely to suppress the ancient evil.

He instantly utilized the power of the seal to counteract on equal grounds.

“Time-space traversal.”

Swish, swish, swish! Chu Yuan’s body blurred like a streak of light, merging into his traversal technique. Commanding an overwhelming force, he shot straight into the depths of the Demon Abyss.

“He’s already entered the Demon Abyss. What do we do now?!”

Chu Yuan’s entry was alarmingly effortless, far faster than any of them had anticipated. Their faces darkened as frustration mingled with helplessness.

Chasing him into the Demon Abyss to settle the score?

None of them would dare–terrified that the ripple effects of battle would interfere with the imposed restraints.

“Do not panic.”

It was the voice of the Master of Primal Heaven: “Even if he’s entered the Demon Abyss, unlocking the seal imposed by our ancestors won’t be so simple. We’ll stand guard outside the Abyss and prepare for any possible disasters.”

“For now, that’s the only option,”

the Master of Ocean Heaven nodded solemnly.

The ancient evil may not be as formidable as it had been in primordial times, but its Divine Abilities remained unfathomable.

“Moreover, I’ve found something intriguing. He doesn’t seem to be cut from the same cloth as the ancient evil from beyond the heavens.”

The Master of Primal Heaven mused aloud.

Outside the Abyss, numerous Heavenly Dao guardians stood vigilant, their expressions grave.

“No one’s going to chase after me?”

Chu Yuan remarked coolly.

Of course, he knew these people wouldn’t dare carelessly venture into the Demon Abyss to pursue him. He also understood they would wait for him just beyond, though he felt utterly unconcerned.

Unfurling the teleportation scroll, he could come and go as he pleased–without restrictions.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have entered the Abyss in the first place.

The Demon Abyss wasn’t vast, but its depths carried an aura of utter annihilation. Anyone entering this realm would find their lifeforce drained irrevocably.

Even the Heavenly Dao guardians would have to remain perpetually cautious.

But Chu Yuan was not fazed in the slightest.

“This is where the ancient evil is suppressed.”

Chu Yuan cast his gaze upon the center of the Demon Abyss, where an open clearing lay–a colossal sealing altar rested there. Its surface was divided by numerous indentations, each filled with crimson blood!

This blood came from Heavenly Dao entities, retaining immense power even after countless ages.

“The life force of Heavenly Dao beings–offered as a sacrifice, transmuted into essence blood–to seal this ancient evil!”

Chu Yuan could sense the devastating battles that had raged here.

His eyes then shifted to another object embedded within the altar–a vast Array Plate measuring several meters.

This Array Plate was none other than a Primal Divine Artifact–Primal Heaven Diagram!

A Primal Divine Artifact–a treasure sought by all divine masters–had now materialized right before Chu Yuan.

However, if the Primal Heaven Diagram were removed, the ancient evil would immediately break free from its seal.

He could also sense the aura of primordial divinity–the seal over the Demon Abyss had demanded the sacrificial lives of numerous Heavenly Dao beings and a primordial god.

Anyone daring to act would face devastating retaliation.

Chu Yuan felt the seething forces beneath the altar.

They were malevolent–an ultimate darkness and corruptive energy stirring, brimming with massive lifeforce.

“How many years have passed, and finally someone has stepped into this sealed realm. You, too, are hunted as an ancient evil beyond the heavens.”

From deep within the altar, a voice echoed forth.

“Ancient evil beyond the heavens,” Chu Yuan murmured coolly.

“Haha, ancient evil–just a baseless label they slapped onto me,”

The ancient evil laughed: “But you’re impressive. I assume you’re also a Heavenly Dao being, given that you managed to evade their pursuit and reach the Demon Abyss. I’ve watched your battles–the sword you wield is exceptional. A Primal Divine Artifact, I presume? Tremendously powerful.”

“What’s your point?”

Chu Yuan remained calm, simply observing him.

“Relax, I don’t intend to harm you. As you can see, I’m sealed here and lack the ability to cause you harm even if I wanted to.”

The ancient evil spoke persuasively: “You don’t need to be wary. I only wish to propose a transaction.”

His words were spoken casually, as though he were an old acquaintance engaging in small talk after years of confinement.

But Chu Yuan knew better–every syllable of his carried the weight of intrusive Soul Power, laced with a potent allure capable of subtly steering thoughts.

“Don’t be so quick to reject me. You must be wondering why you’d help an evil entity. Yet, your formidable power earned their label of ‘evil.’ I am not an evil being–it’s a crime unfairly pinned upon me.”

The ancient evil explained.

“Oh?”

Chu Yuan’s expression remained neutral, unwavering.

“I am, in fact, a unique multi-dimensional lifeform birthed by the universe. Many ages ago, I arrived near Primal Heaven, where their most powerful guardian sought to enslave me. I resisted, fiercely battling them. Ultimately enraged, I attempted to destroy Primal Heaven in retaliation, which led to my imprisonment here.”

“A fellow outcast… why should we torment one another so?”

The ancient evil sighed wistfully.

Chu Yuan continued to stare wordlessly, refusing to engage.

He knew this was an attempt to manipulate him–the true intentions remained occluded, and wasting breath on nonsense benefited no one.

His silence unnerved the ancient evil, who became impatient and forged ahead: “You’re trapped in the Demon Abyss now as well, unable to escape. I’m guessing you stumbled into Primal Heaven unawares–do you plan to remain imprisoned here forever?”

“Why not join forces with me? We can break out together and wreak havoc upon Primal Heaven, feasting on the boundless resources it holds.”

“Releasing me is simple, too–just target the Primal Heaven Diagram. It only takes a minor disruption to crack the seal. Like a breached dam, a single fissure can unleash a flood.”

The ancient evil specialized in soul manipulation, subtly compelling individuals to act against their better judgment.

But Chu Yuan found the claims utterly unconvincing.

With sharp focus, Chu Yuan pierced through the fabric of space-time, discerning the forces–dark and lethal–lurking within.

“A seal forged from the lives of a primordial god and countless Heavenly Dao beings–are you suggesting it’s so easily undone?”

Chu Yuan scoffed with disdain.

“I won’t deceive you. If you touch it, you’ll be met with terrifying backlash. But with your Primal Divine Artifact, surely you can defend against it. Additionally, I’ll lend my power, countering the retaliation alongside you. This Primal Divine Artifact is of no use to me–it’ll be yours when we succeed.”

The ancient evil continued its temptations.

Though the offer rang hollow, the true danger lay in the soul manipulation–it could co-opt thoughts and perception imperceptibly.

“Fire Ancestor, can you discern his origins?”

Chu Yuan dismissed the ancient evil entirely, disregarding its grandiose promises. He had no intention of helping to break the seal; he already considered Primal Heaven his plaything, destined for future conquest.

Summoning his power, Chu Yuan performed a sacrifice and called upon the Fire Ancestor.
