NOVEL NEXT Chapter 458 - Gradually Dimming Soul Lamps
Chapter 458: Gradually Dimming Soul Lamps
A while ago, many Soul Lamps had been extinguished here. All of them had been extinguished during the battle with the Abyss.
At that time, the Soul Lams of the Saint Rank ancestor had been shaking frequently. Although it had not been extinguished yet, the soul lamp had become ten times dimmer.
These guards had originally been staring at the soul lamps, wondering which expert would die that day.
It was because too many people had died in the past few days, they were already numb to it.
They only reported the situation over and over again, reporting bad news one after another, causing the atmosphere here to become even more oppressive.
However…
For some unknown reason, the soul lamps that had been continuously extinguished suddenly stopped, no longer extinguished. This caused everyone to be puzzled, not understanding what had happened.
“Captain, isn’t the Abyss attacking humans on a large scale? Why are the Soul Lamps suddenly not extinguishing? Could it be that the Abyss invasion has stopped?” a guard called Old Six asked.
“Impossible. As long as there’s an opportunity, the Abyss will definitely invade crazily, killing all humans. Now that the Saint Rank ancestor is heavily injured, there’s no one who can stop the Abyss…”
“At this moment, it was a great opportunity for the Abyss to attack. They definitely won’t stop the invasion. There must be a major incident that we don’t know about,” the captain said solemnly.
“Something big? Are you saying that a super powerhouse appeared and stopped the Abyss invasion?” Old Six guessed.
“It’s possible. Let’s first report this matter to the higher-ups. The higher-ups will definitely pay attention to it. We just need to keep an eye on the soul lamps here.”
After the captain finished speaking, he hurriedly sent sixth brother to report the situation here.
Not long after, Old Six hurriedly ran back. Behind him was a group of high-ranking military officials, including the injured Saint Rank ancestor.
“Lord Ancestor, generals, why are you here?” the captain hurriedly stood up and bowed.
“Don’t ask this for now. where is Li Xuan’s Soul Lamp? Which one is his Soul Lamp?” The Saint Rank ancestor held his heart and asked weakly.
“This… here, this brightest Soul Lamp belongs to Grand Marshal Li Xuan.” The captain hurriedly pointed to the soul lamp that was placed separately.
“Phew! Fortunately, the Soul Lamp is normal. Nothing happened.”
The Saint Rank ancestor let out a sigh of relief. The generals around him also let out a sigh of relief.
“What’s the situation?” The captain was at a loss. He did not understand what was going on.
“Captain, it’s like this.”
Old Six pulled the captain to the side and whispered an explanation into his ear.
“I heard from the adults that the Abyss is invading the human world in all directions. The human world has already fallen into a catastrophe. However, at the critical moment, Grand Marshal Li Xuan appeared.”
“He single-handedly withstood everything. He killed the Abyss Army, crushed the Saint Rank Lion Man, blew up the Mid-Level Saint Rank strange eyeballs, and even rushed into the Abyss.”
“Right now, the space crack was filled with all kinds of terrifying auras. According to the detector, these auras had dozens of Saint Rank powerhouses.”
in other words, Grand Marshal Li Xuan was fighting dozens of saint-level enemies alone in the abyss. It was very, very dangerous.”
“What? Dozens of Saint Rank enemies?”
The captain was scared out of his wits when he heard this. He looked at Old Six in disbelief.
“It’s true. When I went to report the situation, the detector just happened to report back that Grand Marshal Li Xuan was madly fighting in the Abyss.”
“We don’t know what the consequences will be. That’s why we came here to observe the situation of Grand Marshal Li Xuan’s Soul Lamp,” the old man explained again.
“So that’s how it is! No wonder the Soul Lamps suddenly stopped going out. It turns out that Marshal Li Xuan has returned and is even fighting against dozens of Saint Rank experts. That scene must be very shocking!”
The captain’s heart trembled violently. Although he did not know what the battle scene was like, he knew that Li Xuan was definitely in extreme danger.
Thinking of this, the captain hurriedly turned his head to look at Li Xuan’s soul lamp. He stared at the candle-like flame, worried that it would go out.
Whoosh!
As if a gust of wind had blown past, Li Xuan’s Soul Lamp suddenly swayed.
In an instant, everyone held their breaths as they nervously looked at Li Xuan’s Soul Lamp. Their eyes were filled with worry.
The old-looking Saint Rank ancestor, who did not have much time left, also struggled to stand up as he looked at the Soul Lamp worriedly.
Whish!
The soul lamp swayed again and again. Each time, it touched the hearts of everyone.
They knew that Li Xuan must have encountered an extremely terrifying crisis. Even if they could not see it, they still understood it from the Soul Lamp.
“Please don’t let anything happen to him!!” The captain clenched his fists and muttered worriedly. His entire body was trembling.
The people at the side were also worried. They really wanted to replace Li Xuan and help him.
However, they knew that they were completely useless in the past. In fact, the aftershocks of the battle could even shock them to death.
Whish!
The Soul Lamp swayed once more, swaying even more frequently. It flickered between light and darkness and even dimmed a little.
At this moment, everyone’s hearts were raised. The Saint Rank ancestor could not help but want to drag his heavily injured body to help.
“Ancestor, don’t distract Li Xuan. We won’t be able to help him if we go over. We’ll only distract him.”
A graceful beauty tried to persuade him. Her name was Huo Ling’er, and she was the new general from the Seven Stars Sect. She was also Li Xuan’s master in this world, a Gold Rank expert.
However, at her level, she still did not have the qualifications to participate in a Saint Rank battle. Even if she got closer, she wouldn’t be able to. She would only be sending herself to her death.
What she could do was stabilize the fort and fight for the last glimmer of hope.
“Will it only distract him? How could I not know? However, I am really worried about him. He is currently suffering from the attacks of dozens of Saint Ranks.”
“Moreover, in a place like the Abyss, there might be more and more Saint Ranks appearing. I am really worried about Li Xuan,” the Saint Rank ancestor said in a hoarse voice.
“We have no other choice. The only thing we can do is to bless him.”
Huo Ling’er sighed and continued to look at the Soul Lamp that was slightly dimmer. Fortunately, although the Soul Lamp was shaking, it gradually stabilized.
Everyone relaxed a little, but they still did not dare to be careless. After all, that was the Abyss.
Just like that…
Everyone watched nervously. From time to time, they would see the Soul Lamp shaking violently and dimming again and again. In the end, the Soul Lamp had already dimmed by more than half.
That weak little flame made everyone’s heart clench to the extreme.
After half a day, the little flame did not change again. Instead, it completely stabilized and even gradually became bright.
Rumble!
A terrifying rumbling sound suddenly appeared in the Abyss Fortress. The source of the sound was shockingly the depths of the Abyss Passage.
The people who were paying attention to the Soul Lamp were shocked and hurriedly sent people to investigate the Abyss Passage.
After all, ever since Li Xuan had set up the array formations in the Abyss Passage, it had been a long time since there had been any enemies in the Abyss Passage.
However…
A loud boom came from the Abyssal Passage. Something big must have happened.
With worry, Huo Ling’er led a group of experts and hurriedly arrived at the entrance of the Abyss Passage, wanting to rush into the Abyss Passage to investigate.
