Chapter 672: Chapter 672: Destruction

Before entering the Sealed Tower, Song Jian had wondered what a state the Abyssal Demon Lord, being sealed for thousands of years, would be in. However, he hadn’t imagined that it would lack a complete body.

Staring at the heart, the size of a basketball and colored purple-black before him, Song Jian fell into deep thought.

It’s unclear how long it would take to restore such an Abyssal Demon Lord. Would it be worthwhile to wait?

“Human, if you destroy these stone statues, I can break free from this cage!” The demon heart suspended in midair seemed to beat faster, showing its excitement.

Song Jian realized that the entire black pyramid was a sword formation, constantly absorbing energy from the outside. These nineteen stone statues were the nineteen core nodes of the entire sword formation. They transformed the energy absorbed by the pyramid into true Sword Qi to confine the heart. The whole sword formation would collapse once these statues were destroyed.

“These probably aren’t just statues, but real people!” Song Jian became silent. These nineteen human statues should have been powerful swordmasters in their lifetime. In order to seal the Abyssal Demon Lord, they sacrificed their lives and used their own flesh and blood to constitute a part of the Sealing Sword Array. They spent thousands of years just to destroy this heart of the Abyssal Demon Lord.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Any creature with Abyssal Power that approaches them will be met with a fierce attack. Only you, as a human, can destroy them!” The Blade of the Abyss became somewhat frantic. After being imprisoned for thousands of years and now on the verge of escape, any being would become excited.

Song Jian furrowed his brow. He himself possessed Abyssal Power. Both the Book of the Abyss and the Abyssal Demon Flame made him emit an aura of Abyssal Power. He wondered if the statues could detect this.

With a thought, the Book of the Abyss within him became motionless. The black flame burning on the surface also slowly extinguished. Song Jian stepped towards the closest statue.

As soon as he got close, this statue’s surface burst into radiant, golden Sword Qi. A phantom image appeared above the statue and swung its sword at Song Jian. Golden Sword Qi rushed towards Song Jian like a thunderbolt.

“How is that possible…” Red eyes emerged on the surface of the purple-black heart, looking towards Song Jian.

Song Jian felt a shock in his heart, could it really still not work?

A thought crossed his mind, and the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword appeared in his palm. He casually waved, releasing an abundant Sword Qi from the Light Strike, which collided with the golden Sword Qi rushing towards him.

A muffled sound echoed in the hall. Song Jian was thrown back by a powerful force, smashing violently into the hard wall of the hall.

He spat out blood. His pallid face revealed a significant loss of over a thousand Vitality Points.

“Peak First-Tier Combat Power!” Song Jian’s face was filled with terror.

“It merely senses your strength and responds accordingly! If you continue to attempt to destroy them, the power of these statues will further increase!” The Blade of the Abyss suppressed its rage and roared in a low voice: “Human, tell me now, why would they attack you? They should only be wary of Abyssal beings!”

Its hope of escape had been destroyed. The Blade of the Abyss no longer needed to coax Song Jian and directly revealed its true face. An angry phantom image of the Abyssal Demon appeared in the hall, roaring loudly at Song Jian: “You deceived me, you deceived a great Abyssal Demon Lord…”

The wind was harsh in the hall. The Blade of the Abyss vented all its rage. However, just at that moment, a faint golden light burst from the nineteen statues. Above each statue, a human phantom image appeared. The swords in their hands pointed at the Demon Lord’s heart caged in golden Sword Qi.

The phantom image of the Blade of the Abyss suddenly froze. If it behaved, it could still survive for at least hundreds of years more. If it tried to break free now, it would trigger the entire Sealing Array.

“Song Jian, we did sign a contract. If you fail to complete your part, you will suffer severe damage too!” The Blade of the Abyss’ angry roar was thoroughly stifled in the hall, filled with Sword Qi.

“Shut up, and let me think!” Song Jian’s face was gloomy. He didn’t know if these statues rejected his approach due to the Book of the Abyss within him or his inadvertent exposure to the Abyssal Power.

It must be noted, although the Abyssal Clan and Abyssal classes were stronger than ordinary classes after the game’s new revision, Song Jian always felt a certain risk. If he ended up turning into an Abyssal being because of too much exposure to the Abyssal Power, it was definitely not a result that Song Jian would want to see.

Song Jian contemplated, and the Book of the Abyss soon appeared before his eyes. The Book of the Abyss, burning with fierce, fourth-tier, black flames, immediately bathed the entire hall in dazzling golden light on its appearance.

“What are you doing, put it away quickly…” The Abyssal Demon Lord roared loudly. The phantom image in the hall was torn apart by Sword Qi, and the imprisoned Demon Lord’s heart stopped beating too.

Song Jian immediately stashed the Book of the Abyss into his bag. He felt it was too dangerous to keep such an Abyssal item within him all the time.

After the Book of the Abyss disappeared, the Sword Qi in the hall gradually dissipated, restoring its original state.

The Blade of the Abyss rematerialized a phantom image with a terrified look, staring at Song Jian without uttering a word.

At this point, Song Jian cautiously approached the statues again. This time, these statues did not prevent him from getting close. Soon, he was right next to the statue.

“Good, that’s how you do it. Destroy it, as long as you destroy these statues, I can break free from this damn cage. I can regain my freedom!” The Abyssal Demon Lord felt like an Abyss, going from the peak to the valley and back, all in one day.

Song Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed like the Book of the Abyss within him had set off the alarm on the statues and not him.

Looking at the statue before him, Song Jian hesitated a bit. These statues represented the powerful beings from a thousand years ago. They sacrificed themselves to eradicate the Abyssal Demon Lord, becoming part of the Sealing Array. Song Jian deeply respected this spirit. But now, for the sake of his mission, Song Jian had to destroy them.

After glancing at the expectant eyes of the Abyssal Demon Lord behind him, Song Jian could only apologize silently, “I’m sorry”, then he lifted his sword.
