“Rascal, I didn’t expect you to come knocking on my door before I could settle scores with you! You’re really courting death!”

Xiahou Mingyi looked into the distance. His eyes narrowed into slits as a cruel smile appeared on his lips.

Back then, he was about to break through. As long as he refined a petal of the Purifying Black Flame Lotus, he could break through to the Dao Ancestor realm. However, this thief ruined his plan.

In the end, he risked his soul being destroyed and forcefully infiltrated the depths of the Hellfire Abyss. He devoured the endless Spirit of Hellfire before barely breaking through and stepping into the Dao Ancestor Realm.

However, his breakthrough was not perfect.

He was still a step away from the true Dao Ancestor Realm.

However, this line was like the difference between clouds and mud.

The current him seemed to have unparalleled combat strength, but it was only the strength of his attack. His current recovery speed was far inferior to the true Dao Ancestor Realm.

In other words, he could only be considered to be at the half Dao Ancestor Realm. He had more than enough attacks, but his defense was insufficient.

However, the opportunity had come!

As long as he took back the Purifying Black Flame Lotus in the thief’s hand, he could break through the shackles and truly step into the Dao Ancestor Realm.

Not only that, with the help of the 36th-grade Purifying Black Flame Lotus, he could still travel further in the Dao Ancestor Realm in a short period of time.

At that time, no one in the entire Flame Demon Clan would be his match. Even if some slumbering old antiques attacked, they would not be able to defeat him!

“Hmph, damn thief. Today… is the day you die!”

Xiahou Mingyi’s expression was cold and his eyes were filled with killing intent.

“Lord Xia Hou! Do you have any worries? Please tell us and let everyone share your worries!”

Below, the upper echelons of the original southwest warzone saw the change in Xiahou Mingyi’s emotions and immediately knew that their chance to perform had arrived. Hence, they hurriedly shouted that they wanted to make a contribution.

When Xiahou Mingyi heard that, he swept his gaze across everyone below before nodding slightly.

“That’s true. I have a group of subordinates now. There’s no need for me to do it myself.”

With this in mind, Xiahou Mingyi cleared his throat. “Ahem, you’re right. A small fly has sneaked in from that direction. Immediately capture it for me. Remember, I want it alive!”

“Yes, sir!”

Below, everyone’s eyes lit up when they heard this. Then, they looked at each other and instantly disappeared. They rushed towards the distant sky.

It was a rare opportunity to make a contribution. They did not want to lose face in front of their new superior. This time, they had to settle the matter first.

This was crucial to their status in the new team.

As for strength… these people were all smart people. When Xiahou Mingyi’s expression changed, they had extended their divine senses to investigate the person in the distance. He was just an ant with weak strength. He was nothing to worry about.

It was rare to see such a beautiful job.

In the void, Lin Bei had a bitter expression and his brows were already knitted together.

After leaving the battlefield, he and Qiqi rushed to the area where the world fragment was in the intelligence. However, other than a space that looked like a paradise, there was no sign of the world fragment.

It was obvious that they had made a wasted trip.

Fortunately, with Qiqi around, she used her Time Backtrack ability to check everything that had happened in this space in the past 10,000 eras and finally obtained the results.

It turned out that this place was the spatial array used by the foreign forces in the southwest warzone to seal the Heavenly Emperor. As for the power in the world fragment here, it had actually long been exhausted by the foreign forces. Now, this place was only an empty shell.

As for the sealing formation, it had long dissipated.

There was no one alive here.

Hence, Lin Bei missed this time.

“Sigh, my luck is really bad. It’s only the first stop, but I encountered a situation. It’s really difficult.”

Lin Bei let out a long sigh and looked at Qiqi, who was floating barefoot beside him.

“It’s fine. Although we didn’t find the world fragment immediately, I used the Time Backtrack ability to find some clues. This world fragment is related to the foreign forces in the southwest warzone. As long as we find them and have a good chat, we can successfully find the world fragment.”

When Qiqi heard this, she did not care too much. Instead, she smiled and replied, “Moreover… Ordinary methods can’t refine world fragments. As far as I know, other than the Nine Unparalleled and the Chaos, few people can do it. The races in the southwest warzone are so weak, so they probably don’t have a chance. At most, they can use it to suppress the space in their race or deal with the devouring of the power of the Abyss. Other than that, I really can’t think of anything else they can do with the world fragments.”

“This world fragment can resist the devouring of the power of the Abyss?”

When Lin Bei heard this, he could not help but be surprised.

The Abyss he knew now was no longer the Abyss of the Second World of the Ocean Blue Planet. Instead, it was the Abyss World that truly existed in the dark side of the Major Chiliocosm. The Abyss was a terrifying power that could easily devour an entire world. According to legend, only experts who had reached the Dao Ancestor realm could rely on their own strength to resist it..
