“I don’t believe it. Just a mere ray of light, even if it was left by a member of the Abyss Demon Tribe, can we, with so many of us, not break through it?”

Qin Chen brandished the dark green demon sword, infusing it with solidified soul power, and slashed upwards with one strike.

Boom! The sword energy soared to the heavens, but that black light suddenly erupted with a terrifying force, once again sending Qin Chen flying backward.

Yet, Qin Chen continued to take out the mysterious rusty sword, crazily hacking at it.

Buzz! The mysterious rusty sword radiated black light and struck down fiercely on that Abyss Soul Light. The black halo flickered slightly but remained completely unharmed. This time, the rebounding force was even more terrifying, causing Qin Chen to fly backward, spitting out blood as he crashed heavily to the ground.

The mysterious rusty sword was strong, but it still fell short in front of the Abyss Soul Light. At least, Qin Chen could not yet unleash its full power.

“Boom!”

Beside him, Mo Yuanbai also unleashed the heavenly fire, scorching the Abyss Soul Light, but it was useless. The heavenly fire, capable of melting gold and iron, had no effect before the protective barrier of the Abyss Soul Light.

Old Source also made his move, his enormous claws fiercely grabbing at it. With a crack, Old Source's claws shook violently, almost breaking, as he was sent crashing backward, his body covered in wounds.

“It’s useless. We’ve already tried this before; this altar cannot be opened.”

The leader of the Illusory Demon Sect said anxiously. She and Qin Mo had tried countless times, even using the power of the Chaos Demon Nest, yet they still could not break the altar.

“Chen Shao, let me try!”

Ji Ruyue stepped forward. Suddenly, a purple halo burst forth from her forehead, and a purple crystal appeared, enveloping her in a vast purplish light, a terrifying power awakening within her.

At this moment, the power of the purple crystal was a treasure left to Ji Ruyue by the ancestors of the Ji family.

You Qianxue and the others were filled with anticipation. They all knew the origin of this purple crystal; it was a supreme treasure left behind by the ancestors of the Ji family, once a master of the heavenly realm. This treasure might just be able to break the Abyss Soul Light.

Boom! The purple halo flowed, and a terrifying force surged forth, crashing violently against the altar.

Instantly, the altar shook as if it had received a tremendous blow, violently trembling.

“It works.”

Everyone rejoiced.

And amidst the violent shaking, within the altar, Chen Sisi's painfully closed eyes also trembled slightly, as if she was trying desperately to open them.

“Sisi!”

Qin Chen shouted.

Pfft! Suddenly, Ji Ruyue spat out a mouthful of blood. Wow, blood gushed forth as she was sent flying backward, her aura wilting, clearly gravely injured.

“Ruyue.”

Qin Chen hurriedly caught Ji Ruyue. At this moment, she was covered in blood, looking weakly at Qin Chen and bitterly saying, “Chen Shao, I’m sorry.”

She had failed. She had pushed the power of the purple crystal to its limits, yet it was still ineffective, and she had even been injured by the rebounding force. If it weren't for the protective effect of the purple crystal, she might have been directly injured by this force.

How could the Abyss Soul Light be so strong?

“Ruyue, it’s not your fault. Don’t worry, I will definitely save Sisi.”

Qin Chen gritted his teeth and infused a sliver of soul power into the mysterious rusty sword. Instantly, a cold aura spread throughout his body, and Qin Chen's eyes turned pitch black, emitting a chilling energy.

Qin Chen trembled violently, as if undergoing an immense trial, and the mysterious rusty sword in his hand erupted with blinding black light.

“Slash!”

Qin Chen charged forward madly.

Boom boom boom! He swung the sword continuously, putting all his strength into each strike. The mysterious rusty sword collided with the black light, causing the Abyss Soul Light to fluctuate again, but it still did not shatter.
