Baby with Daoist Monarch System

Chapter 837: Chapter 367: Golden Lightning (Part 2)

The master brother felt the gaze of everyone, and his words carried a spreading white chill.

"I don’t know either!"

The five words from the master brother’s mouth could also shake their hearts.

Who is the master brother? He is an unparalleled genius who has once again repaired the cracks and sealed the Power of Annihilation, someone even these heroes of an era cannot compare to.

Moreover, the master brother has even ventured into the cracks, witnessing countless things, yet even such an existence does not know what these nine appearing stone pillars truly are?

Such a situation, they had never imagined.

"However, the black symbols on these nine stone pillars should be from the Nether Abyss!"

The moment the words "Nether Abyss" were spoken, the Dueling Arena instantly fell into silence, and the air seemed to be frozen, with no sounds appearing.

Fear flickered across the faces of all soul bodies, including those of the second senior brother and the little junior sister.

The Nether Abyss, the most perilous area in the Origin Realm, is true to its name, unimaginably deep. Since its creation, no one has entered inside and emerged again.

Speaking of the Endless Abyss, at least Great Powers can obtain Nine Nether Cold Sand from it.

But the Nether Abyss, let alone coming out, even approaching it is impossible.

Approach within a thousand miles, and you will be entangled by an invisible aura. Within three days, regardless of how strong your physical body is, it will turn into a puddle of black water, vanishing from the world.

Thus, no one has entered it.

The thousand miles near the Nether Abyss are so dangerous, not to mention the Nether Abyss itself.

As for why the Nether Abyss is known as an Endless Abyss, it is due to a Celestial Secretist, who successfully forged the Celestial Secret Divine Gaze upon proving the Dao, and out of curiosity, cast the gaze imbued with a wisp of Heavenly Dao aura into the Nether Abyss.

In an instant, an Endless Abyss was projected into the high skies above the Origin Realm through the Celestial Secret Divine Gaze, allowing everyone to witness its true form.

It was a completely dark place, the darkness within seeming capable of devouring everything; even light could not escape it. Some Great Powers with weaker Spiritual Power, upon seeing the projection, were instantly stupefied, never to recover and hence perished.

The Celestial Secretist, as the owner of the Celestial Secret Divine Gaze, seemed to have glimpsed the true nature of the Nether Abyss.

The projection vanished the moment it appeared in the sky of the Origin Realm, after which the Celestial Secretist never discussed anything about the Nether Abyss.

There are only a few brief written records regarding the Nether Abyss.

Thus, the Nether Abyss became a source of fear in everyone’s heart.

Now, hearing these words from the mouth of the master brother again, a heartless fear began to pervade within.

The second senior brother, upon hearing this, was first shocked, but then stared at the master brother with astonishment.

"How does the master brother know those symbols originate from the Nether Abyss?"

A question arose but went unasked.

No one has ever entered the Nether Abyss, so how could the master brother know these symbols are from the Nether Abyss?

Could it be... that the master brother has entered it before?

But quickly, his gaze shifted to the Ancient Bronze Gate within the mirror, realizing in his heart.

To completely seal the cracks, the master brother had entered them before, seeing the Ancient Bronze Gate therein. Now, these nine stone pillars emerging from it—it’s no surprise that he recognizes them.

Speaking of the Nether Abyss, all soul bodies fell into silence, curiously staring at the scene in the mirror, all eager to witness what capabilities the things emerging from the Nether Abyss possess!

...

Xu Ran stood on the ground, his tender little hand waving before his nose, letting the Innate Qi disperse within his nasal cavity to eliminate much of the odor.

Meanwhile, he gazed at the nine appearing stone pillars, his heartbeat inexplicably quickening, as if something threatening was about to emerge.

"Crack!"

Just as Xu Ran pondered, nine crisp sounds simultaneously emanated from the nine black stone pillars.

Looking within, he saw the cracks on the nine stone pillars resembling a spider’s web simultaneously splitting open, their surfaces crumbling into rock fragments, which fell and corroded the ground, forming deep pits.

Simultaneously, nine gusts of wild wind burst out from the stone pillars, carrying the odor, sweeping through the entire Dueling Arena.

Xu Ran squinted, eyes fixed on the storm, staring unwaveringly at the crumbling stone pillars. His gaze suddenly sharpened.

"That’s... a person!"

Xu Ran’s eyes widened, staring incredulously at the stone pillars.

He actually spotted a human arm emerging from within a stone pillar.

If there is a person within one stone pillar, then might the other eight also contain someone?

Then Xu Ran’s gaze swiftly scanned the crumbling stones of each pillar, visibly spotting vague human body parts—arms, legs, torso, head...

Apart from the different body parts seen, the one constant was the black colored skin, covered with layers of black symbols.

Although only a portion was visible, Xu Ran’s current keen observation noticed the appearing symbols matched those on the stone pillars exactly!

"Huff!"

Soon!

A violent gust from the crumbling stone pillar again blew all falling fragments away.

"Boom!"

The nine stone pillars exploded simultaneously, scattering fragments everywhere, revealing the entities inside to everyone.

They were nine complete, wholly black individuals!

Initially, it seemed those stone pillars were for sealing the existence of these nine people. The instant they exploded, the originally reclining nine individuals instantly stood, eyes glowing red, black gales howling from their bodies.

Black symbols covered these nine individuals from head to toe.

Upon closer inspection of these black symbols, they did not glow; rather, black maggots crawled along the patterns, leaving behind puddles of black fluid unknown in nature.

Each crawling maggot raised the aura of these individuals incrementally.

Moreover, the fingertips of these nine were devoid of flesh, exposing dark golden finger bones.

Outside the Dueling Arena, the master brother upon seeing the dark golden finger bones, cried out.

"Chaotic Ancient War Puppet!"

He, typically calm and composed, stood abruptly from his seat, staring tremblingly at the nine individuals emerging from the stone pillars.

"The Nether Abyss actually harbors Chaotic Ancient War Puppets!"

After the initial shock, the master brother slowly sat down, muttering, seemingly pondering.

The others, hearing his words, remained perplexed, not understanding what he said.

Not only were they mystified, but so were the second senior brother and little junior sister, puzzled.

Chaotic Ancient War Puppet, a term they had never heard before.

What sort of existence does this unknown entity possess?

Instantly, the curiosity in everyone’s heart was piqued, all wanting to learn a bit from the master brother.

"Cough!" The master brother lightly coughed, calming himself. "Normal Puppets require a power to drive their actions, much like the Five Elements Puppets in the trial!"

"But War Puppets, although also puppets, are utterly different!"

After a brief silence, the master brother continued.

"Firstly, the completely intact corpse of a Great Power can be raw material for War Puppets!"

"When I say intact, I mean complete in all aspects, not just bodily, but their understanding, Dao, Origin..."

"Everything possessed by a Great Power must be complete to serve as material for War Puppets!"

Upon finishing his explanation, the entire Dueling Arena fell silent, listening hard, no sound emerging, even time seemed to pause!
