Comprehension Ability: Creating and teaching the Dao in various worlds

Protector Nuan had thought that the "Profound Gold"–constructed entrance to the Great Abyss would be countered by the Mother Water.

But now, it seemed she had been too optimistic.

"My Lord..."

Protector Nuan's right hand was placed against the entrance to the Great Abyss.

This was the closest distance she had been to Xiahou Yuan.

"I'm useless..."

Protector Nuan's eyes began to redden slightly.

"Time's almost up, wait a little longer, and that Jiang swordsmaster should arrive."

The man beside her suddenly spoke.

"Jiang swordsmaster..."

Protector Nuan took a deep breath.

"Moyang Demon Lord..."

If Moyang Demon Lord were here, he could have deterred the Jiang swordsmaster and bought her more time.

"My Lord..."

"Hold on a little longer."

"I will return soon."

After saying this, Protector Nuan led her followers away quickly.

As time passed, the truly loyal minions to Xiahou Yuan became fewer and fewer.

Therefore, Protector Nuan absolutely couldn't let her followers die in vain.

The Jiang swordsmaster was a formidable foe of the Eighth Realm; if they were intercepted by him, it would be difficult for them to retreat unharmed.

And as Protector Nuan, a remnant of the Demonic Tao, left,

The many guards who had been stationed at a distance now began to approach.

"Look at that."

"These remnants of the Demonic Tao can't do anything to the Profound Gold entrance gate."

Zhao Si carefully inspected the entrance gate and, finding only a thin outer layer slightly melted, grinned and laughed.

"Hahaha, these remnants of the Demonic Tao are completely ignorant of their own limitations. This entrance gate, crafted personally by Sect Leader Tianjian Zi and a host of powerful figures—even if they breached the first layer, there are still seventeen more..."

"Dream on if you think you can rescue Xiahou Yuan."

"In my opinion, even if Xiahou Yuan were unharmed and at peak combat power, he couldn't possibly break through the Great Abyss's eighteen layers of gates..."

The numerous guards spoke with great confidence in their voices about the entrance gate.

They even believed that Xiahou Yuan couldn't escape even if he regained all his strength.

Suddenly.

At that moment.

Crack!!

Crack-crack!!!

Muffled sounds of breaking echoed faintly.

"Hm?"

"What's that sound?"

Zhao Si, with his sharp senses, immediately noticed something.

The other guards were also slightly startled and exchanged glances.

"It seems, it seems to be coming from the entrance gate..."

A faint voice spoke up, belonging to a new guard.

At this moment, his eyes widened as he stared straight at the entrance gate to the Great Abyss.

"What did you say?"

Zhao Si's heart tensed.

He turned his head to look quickly.

But with that glance,

Zhao Si saw a scene he would never forget.

The previously intact entrance gate to the Great Abyss, from inside out, began to show crack after crack.

The cracks spread and divided, growing rapidly.

In an instant, they covered the whole gate.

"That's bad!!!"

Zhao Si's heartbeat nearly stopped.

Before he could speak,

The entrance gate to the Great Abyss burst open with a roar.

Countless pieces of Profound Gold, like meteors, shot out in all directions.

But nobody was paying attention to these fragments; their gazes were all fixed on the now empty entrance to the Great Abyss.

Then came soft footsteps, slow and prolonged, from deep within the Great Abyss Ground.

Under the shocked gaze of the onlookers,

a figure in tattered clothes slowly emerged.

The figure initially raised a hand to shield his eyes, seemingly finding the light a bit too harsh.

"Freedom!"

The figure took a deep breath, and all the Heavenly Earth Vital Energy within a radius of tens of miles, willingly or not, was drawn into him.
