Chapter 1541: Seal Abyss Tower

Yan Guhui’s eyes widened like saucers. Was he dreaming?

How was this guy stronger than even that young man at the mountaintop? He did not think he would be able to defeat him even if he was at peak condition. Just where the hell did such a monster emerge from?

“These treasures are a complete waste in your hands. I shall happily accept them.”

After breaching the cage of starlight with one swing and killing four deities with one slash, White Robe Demon Master let out a chuckle and swung his sleeve. Inside his sleeve hid an entire world.

The world darkened for a moment before lighting back up again. It felt as if nothing had happened.

However, Yan Guhui knew that his Seal Abyss talisman and Command Deity seal had disappeared.

More accurately, it had been stolen by the mysterious Sage.

He was miffed, of course. Motherfucker, this guy was a robber just like that guy on the mountain!

This was not the time to be thinking about such things though. How could he survive this situation? Yan Guhui arrived at a decision immediately.

His expression turning ruthless, he cut open his stomach, wrapped the infant inside his belly inside a sheen of bloody light, and sent it away.

“Go, master... I’ll hold him back!”

Yan Guhui shouted, “No one can hurt my master! No one!”

Yan Guhui abruptly swelled in size and brimmed with an immense amount of energy. Violent, destructive, and murderous aura immediately filled the air.

“Self-destruct?” White Robe Demon Master shook his head and reached out.

His hand seemed big enough to cover the sky and blot out the cosmos. All of the realm was only big enough to fit in his palm.

After Yan Guhui fell into White Robe Demon Master’s palm, his swollen body began shrinking bit by bit as if time was reversing. His violent aura was the same though.

It wasn’t just Yan Guhui. The Evil Infant that had escaped thousands and thousands of kilometers away and hidden itself had been caught by the hand as well.

Yan Guhui and the Evil Infant were still roaring when White Robe Demon Master closed his fingers and clasped his hands behind his back. Then, he set foot on the wave and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

......

“The Seal Abyss Tower... interesting!” Ye Qing and Feng Qingyou was currently walking down the steps of the only intact tower on the mountaintop.

The octagonal tower was built underground. The foundation was on the surface, whereas the body stretched into the mountain’s belly.

The tower was called the Seal Abyss Tower. It was probably where the Eight Views Sect imprisoned Strangers.

The tower boasted nine levels in total. Each floor boasted countless stone houses, and each stone house featured an independent cage used to imprison Strangers.

The deeper they went, the fewer the number of stone houses. However, the Strangers imprisoned in these houses also grew stronger.

The reason Ye Qing knew this was because that was what he was seeing with his own eyes.

Of course, these Strangers weren’t alive. They were all dead.

After tens of thousands of years, the Strangers imprisoned inside these stone houses were long dead. Those on the upper floors had long since disintegrated into piles of bones, though the ones in the lower floors still had some flesh left.

Starting from the seventh floor, the Stranger imprisoned inside the stone houses were Ancient-class. Potent, terrible auras remained in the corpses even after they were long dead.

The seventh floor had eighteen stone houses in total. The eighth floor had nine. Every stone house had the remains of a Stranger, meaning that at least twenty seven Ancient-class Strangers had been imprisoned inside the Seal Abyss Tower.

This was twenty-seven Ancient-class Strangers, not twenty-seven cats or dogs. Judging from the fact that the state of the corpses were more or less the same, the Eight Views Tower had probably captured them all at the same time as well. It showed just how powerful they used to be.

Ye Qing was curious though. Why had the Eight Views Sect captured so many Strangers and imprisoned them here? Wasn’t it easier to just kill them?

Of course, that was an unfair complaint. What if the Eight Views Sect enjoyed confining Strangers?

There weren’t just Stranger corpses in the stone houses though. They also discovered plenty of human remains.

If they weren’t mistaken, they were probably all Eight Views Sect disciples.

Ye Qing thought he knew why some Eight Views Sect disciples were imprisoned in these stone houses. It was probably because they had been corrupted by the Evil Infant’s energy.

When they arrived at the ninth floor though, what they saw stole their breath away.

The ninth floor was the “highest” floor of the Seal Abyss Tower. There were no stone houses here, only an empty hall with four stone pillars at the center. The stone pillars were covered in cracks as well.

This wasn’t important, of course. What was important was the fact that the hall was covered in bones. Human bones to be exact.

There were so many that they piled up like hills. It was horrifying.

“Why did so many people die here?” Ye Qing asked with a frown.

“A battle probably broke out here.”

Feng Qingyou thought to herself, “Assuming I’m not mistaken, it was a battle between the corrupted disciples and the uncorrupted ones. That was why this tragedy occurred.”

“In that case, this is probably where the Evil Infant was imprisoned.”

Looking at the bones, Ye Qing could almost imagine that terrible, terrible tragedy. “The seniors of the Eight Views Sect are truly commendable.”

“Indeed,” Feng Qingyou echoed in agreement before examining her surroundings. She said thoughtfully, “I believe this Seal Abyss Tower’s true form is a powerful Strange Artifact. It is also a great array.”

“All of the Strangers and humans imprisoned inside the tower are a part of the array. They provided the energy necessary to keep it functioning. The bigger the number of Strangers and humans, the more energy it could provide to the array. That was why every stone house had a Stranger in them.”

“The core of the great array is here. It is also the strongest point of the array.”

Feng Qingyou pointed at the four stone pillars at the center. “This is probably where the Evil Infant was shackled.”

“However, as the Strangers died, and the Eight Views Sect lost more and more disciples, the array’s power decreased tremendously as well. That is why the Evil Infant ultimately found a chance to escape.”

Ye Qing cast a look at the floor of bones and let out a deep sigh. “Rest in peace, seniors. Leave the rest to this junior. I promise I won’t allow the Evil Infant to bring harm upon humanity.”

Ye Qing waved his sleeves slightly, and an invisible power filled the hall. The pile of bones disintegrated into nothing a short while later.

“Can the Seal Abyss Tower and array still be used?” Ye Qing asked.

The Evil Infant was nigh unkillable once it was born. White Robe Demon Master confirmed this theory by killing it after he captured it.

The Evil Infant could neither be killed nor released, so he could only emulate the Eight Views Sect and sealed it away. It so happened that there was a suitable place right in front of him.

Of course, this hinged on the fact that the Seal Abyss Tower was still usable.

Feng Qingyou walked up to a stone pillar and pressed a hand against it. Weak lightning immediately danced from it.
