Six months ago, if not for this little girl and two other women appearing, the martial arts world would have likely been wiped out entirely.
It was the arrival of the three of them that shattered the God-Sea Palace's relentless momentum.
Furthermore, they opened up the Luo family's small world, creating a sanctuary for all martial artists.
As for the remaining two families, the Qi and Song families, they were reportedly severely weakened and had completely sealed their small world entrances!
Their strongholds were now cast adrift in the void between dimensions.
Only by opening from within could the entrances be accessed.
The outside world could no longer breach them.
Even the God-Sea Palace forces couldn't locate them.
Of the eight great families present, only Grandma Ma, the head of the Qin family, Qin Xiaorou, and a young girl from the Hua family remained.
If Chu Tian were here, he would never have imagined that even the Luo family's small world had collapsed.
The same applied to the Qin and Hua families!
The rest were beyond saving; not a single survivor.
Therefore, if one were to consider the current situation, excluding the sealed Qi and Song families,
The only remaining family of the eight great clans with its gates wide open was the Luo family.
This was the only place that could offer them refuge.
Although the people gathered here desperately wanted to use the Luo family as a shield, urging them to confront the God-Sea Palace head-on, hoping they would win.
Then they could reclaim their former sect territories.
If they lost, they could simply return to the Luo family for shelter!
However, their calculations were flawed, believing a young girl would be easily manipulated.
They didn't expect the girl's words to be laced with defiance.
Luo Yiyi's statement was clear: "If you want to stay, behave yourselves; if not, get out!"
Offering them shelter was kindness; denying them entry was their prerogative!
This put Sect Leader Li in a difficult position.
"Heh, Sect Leader Li, if there's nothing else, please take a seat. As for what happens next, our Luo family head has their own arrangements!"
The perpetually fiery Ninth Grand Elder of the Luo family wore a benevolent smile, as warm as a spring breeze!
These people knew him too well; they'd known him for decades.
It was truly baffling what had happened to him in the past year.
He had completely changed his demeanor!
Always smiling, devoid of his former temper.
Sect Leader Li, hearing Elder Luo's words, cast a grateful glance at him.
He thought, Elder Luo was such a good person!
After giving Elder Luo a grateful look, he turned and glared fiercely at the elders seated below him.
He felt these old fellows were too wicked, trying to use him as a pawn.
Just as he was about to sit down, Grandma Ma suddenly spoke.
"Old madman, you've been acting strangely lately!"
Grandma Ma was addressing Luo Lingfeng.
"Haha, this old man has realized recently, why get angry before killing? These insignificant ants are more satisfying to finish off with a smile!"
Elder Luo chuckled as he glanced at Sect Leader Li.
The latter felt two sharp gazes fixed upon him.
The prickly sensation made cold sweat break out.
In the blink of an eye, his sweat soaked through his clothes.
The hot sweat then instantly froze into frost.
He couldn't help but shiver.
His posture, knees bent to sit, froze in place.
The two old men on his left and right twitched their lips, a hint of schadenfreude appearing.
"Of course, the cowards behind me are even more detestable. If I hadn't promised my Luo Luo, I would have crushed them one by one long ago!"
Elder Luo added nonchalantly.
Immediately, those elders who had shown schadenfreude felt a killing intent engulf them.
Their smiling faces
froze, their muscles solidifying.
Expressions far more hideous than crying appeared before everyone.
Sect Leader Li, at this moment, felt the gaze locking onto him shift away.
Seeing the smug expressions of the old men who had conspired with him behind his back turn into ones as if they had swallowed a fly,
He felt a surge of joy within.
However, he showed no outward reaction, slowly taking a seat.
He lowered his head and remained silent.
"Alright, let's discuss resource allocation. We don't know how long we'll have to hold out, and we can't go out for supplies right now.
So, we must economize expenditures…"
Luo Luo, at this moment, sat in the upper seat and spoke slowly.
Everyone listened to her words, their expressions turning grim.
But they knew they had to bow to the circumstances.
When they entered the Luo family's small world seeking refuge,
The first condition was to hand over all their resources for unified distribution.
…
Meanwhile, Chu Tian continued to descend into the bottomless pit.
The surrounding rock walls grew colder.
However, upon reaching this point, Chu Tian discovered that the law of suppressing the divine soul and preventing its release from the body was gradually disappearing.
His divine sense, which could initially probe only a few meters downwards, then tens of meters, hundreds of meters…
Was gradually recovering.
Finally, his divine sense could probe ten thousand meters away.
At this moment, his eyes shifted.
"Hmm… there is a bottom after all, not a bottomless pit!"
Because his divine sense had already surveyed a distance of twenty thousand meters, revealing a vast cavern below, and he could see the ground.
Seeing this, he quickly extended his claws.
The hard rock walls immediately sparked.
The Usurper's Claws, transformed from the Moon God's Fury, could no longer slice through the rock walls like cutting tofu.
But this was good; it could greatly increase friction.
Allowing him to decelerate rapidly.
Simultaneously, he used his divine sense to carefully scan below.
The scene on the ground stunned Chu Tian.
Darkness was a given, of course.
In the depths of the cavern.
Chu Tian actually saw a figure.
Seeing one person wasn't the strangest thing; the strange part was that this person was standing directly below the opening, looking upwards.
And the person's appearance.
Was identical to his own.
That faint summoning force.
Emanated from this person.
Along with a strong sense of hostility.
The expression on his face as he looked up was filled with intense hatred.
"Holy cow… could that be my twin brother?"
Chu Tian, at this moment, lost his confidence.
Because that guy looked too much like him, even the fluctuations emanating from him were exactly the same.
"Did my mother give birth to twins and abandon my younger brother here?
No, that's not right…"
Putting him aside for a moment.
The cavern below was also strange.
The walls of this cavern seemed like. living creatures.
The vines wrapped around them were like living blood vessels.
They pulsated at a fixed frequency.
And all these blood vessels extended towards a deeper cavern.
Chu Tian attempted to probe the depths of that cavern with his divine soul.
But he was blocked there.
That cavern possessed an extraordinary law.
It wasn't a law that suppressed divine sense, but one that directly disintegrated it.
Xiao Hei, at this moment, was also slowly decelerating above Chu Tian.
"Boss…" Xiao Hei's eyes were already filled with confusion.
The endless, desolate descent was driving him to the brink of collapse.
It wasn't that Xiao Hei was too weak.
It was simply that they had been descending for too long.
Chu Tian gauged the time.
They had descended for a full three days.
