Chapter 472 Ch 472: Ling Xiaolong's Calculations (1)

"Darkness of the Abyss, Total Destruction!"

The Abyss Emperor roared, causing the void to tear and distort. Abyssal Energy swarmed toward the Abyss Emperor from every direction, entering his body. With each passing second, the Abyss Emperor grew in size. In a matter of minutes, he transformed into a giant shrouded in Abyssal Energy.

His figure could no longer be clearly discerned; only his outline was visible.

Ling Xiaolong witnessed the Abyss Emperor raising his hand and making a slashing motion. Though slow, the void seemed to shatter into pieces in that instant. The Abyss trembled, and thousands of various-sized fractures appeared everywhere.

As if in response to the Abyss Emperor's call, thousands of thick, dark, and long roots emerged from these fractures, wrapping around the abyss and tightly constricting it.

"BOOM!"

Along with the void, Ling Xiaolong found himself trapped in the encirclement of those roots, unable to escape. As the roots constricted, the abyss itself seemed to explode. Along with the destruction of Abyss, Ling Xiaolong was also annihilated.

As the Abyss disappeared entirely, leaving behind absolute emptiness, the residual power from the collapsing of the Abyss still wreaked havoc in the void, turning an unknown length of the vast emptiness into a forbidden zone.

As far as the eye could see, darkness prevailed, with no sign of life or even ripples of spatial turbulence.

Everything was dark and deadly silent.

On the other hand, the Abyss Emperor somehow survived. It was not that he came out of all of these unscathed. No, he was also terribly injured due to the destruction of an entire Cosmic Field.

Nevertheless, even under such horrifying circumstances, he emerged alive.

"Humph, finally dealt with you!"

The Abyss Emperor snorted coldly as he took out a dark bowl filled with blood-red wine, drinking the wine of victory and rejoicing.

At that moment, ripples appeared in the infinite darkness, and the roots once again pierced out from every direction, dancing around the giant Abyss Emperor.Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only

"I know!"

It was as if the Abyss Emperor knew what these roots were doing or trying to tell him, he muttered silently and then raised his hand.

However, at that exact moment, he noticed something. He saw, although distorted, a faint reflection slowly manifesting in the darkness above his head.

"Hmm?"

Since he never chose to sever his connection and consistently maintained his bond with the Tree of Abyss, it is evident that the Tree of Abyss itself aided the Abyss Emperor in transcending its own limitations.

Over the years, the Tree of Abyss likely derived numerous benefits from this symbiotic relationship, thereby enhancing its own strength.

Perhaps, its ultimate objective is to ascend beyond the status of an Ethereal Guardian.

Just as the Abyss was constantly being created, the faint reflection above the Abyss Emperor's head suddenly shone brightly, brightening the dark void.

Huh?

It was not just the Abyss Emperor, even the Tree of Abyss was startled. None of them knew exactly what was happening.

Before they could understand the sudden progress of the situation, they sensed something.

The Abyss Emperor turned back hurriedly, only to see Ling Xiaolong standing a few miles away from him, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

It was at that moment that the Abyss Emperor realized his previous assumptions were not wrong. Not only had he and the Tree of Chaos failed to annihilate Ling Xiaolong's existence completely, but it appeared they hadn't even injured him.

"How? How did you do it? You were clearly killed right before my eyes. How can you still be alive?" The Abyss Emperor asked, utterly puzzled by the sudden turn of events.

Ling Xiaolong pointed raised his hand and pointed above.

The Abyss Emperor followed Ling Xiaolong's gesture and looked at the Reflection of Chaos.

Finally, Ling Xiaolong explained, "You tried to destroy the Reflection of my Chaos, thinking that with its destruction, I cannot utilize the power of Rules to turn the table every time. Along with that, you also destroyed the entire Abyss so that I don't take out another bizarre trump card and escape somehow. And... I think those roots must belong to the Tree of Abyss, right?"

"In order to kill me, both you and the Tree of Abyss spared no effort, even to the extent of obliterating the Abyss itself. Evidently, my existence holds significant value to both of you, as you deemed the destruction of Chaos nearly impossible with me in the picture. Sacrificing the Abyss to ensure my demise might seem a small price to pay for someone like you, capable of recreating the Abyss from scratch. I suspect only you possess this ability, not the Tree of Chaos, and it might be due to the fact that you are a creature born in the Abyss, have comprehended the Rules of the Abyss, and share the very connection of existence with the Abyss."

"While the Abyss was birthed from the Tree of Abyss, it was akin to a child to it. While the Tree may be able to recreate the Abyss, the recreated Abyss would not be the same; rather, it would become akin to a second child. Unlike the Abyss Emperor, the Tree of Abyss is not a creature of the Abyss but its progenitor. Therefore, it lacks the profound existential connection to the Abyss shared by the Abyss Emperor."

"If you recreate the Abyss, everything will be the same. Moreover, I believe before destroying the Abyss, you or the Tree of Abyss must have kept its source secure, not letting it get destroyed."

As Ling Xiaolong spoke all of this, the Abyss Emperor revealed a shocked expression. Obviously, he did not expect Ling Xiaolong to guess everything correctly.

In fact, Ling Xiaolong might have sounded very confident while speaking, but he was not sure in his heart whether his guess was true or not.

Now, looking at the Abyss Emperor's shocked expression, he was sure that his guess was at least 90% correct.
