Chapter 2727 Breaking Free from the Shackles of the Abyss
I need to wake up quickly; I can't stay trapped in this terrible dream!
Mother Earth struggled with all her might, and the iron chains clanged as if they were about to break.
With its current power, it seems that it is not impossible for it to forcibly break the restriction from back then.
But just then, a face suddenly appeared above the crevice, blocking out the blue sky and white clouds.
A person stood at the edge of the crevice and looked down, meeting the gaze of Mother Earth.
This face, this face... it's all too familiar.
The moment Mother Earth saw him, she let out a deafening roar:
"Shangguan Biao!"
This was absolutely, truly a dream, a nightmare from the past!
Not only is there Changfeng Valley, not only are there restrictions imposed by contracts, but there is also Shangguan Biao!
In the Earth Mother's memory, there are several periods of Shangguan Biao: there is Shangguan Biao who visited her as a child, Shangguan Biao who tried to heal her wounds with the Wind Dew Golden Lotus as a young man, and Shangguan Biao who became a ruthless and unscrupulous demon in the later period.
The Shangguan Biao above the crevice was peeking out in the same posture as when he was a teenager, but his face was now that of a man in his thirties, and the look in his eyes as he looked at the Earth Mother carried the coldness and scheming of his later years.
Yes, it was exactly the same as Shangguan Biao, whom it hated most in its memory.
"As expected, you should have been locked up here." Shangguan Biao sneered, every word cutting to the heart. "You have such great power, yet you're used as a watchdog by Changfeng Valley. Only when your stone heart is in my hands can it be truly brought to its full potential."
“You are dead,” Mother Earth glared at him. “This was all just a dream!”
It personally witnessed the Nine Nether Emperor kill him!
"Of course I'm dead." Shangguan Biao raised an eyebrow and said in a sinister tone, "I was tricked by Liu Yisheng and died in Danyan Pavilion in Thunder Heaven Plain. Have you forgotten?"
Mother Earth felt a jolt in her heart.
Those are all things from thousands of years ago. Shangguan Biao may have died in Thunder Heaven Plain, but in fact, he used the Wind Dew Golden Lotus and the Flowing Light Secret Realm to secretly trap the Earth Mother's soul. He then usurped the Earth Mother's body, slaughtered Changfeng Valley, and began to wreak havoc on the human world.
Shangguan Biao died long ago, but he can still cause trouble after his death, which perfectly illustrates what it means to "leave a legacy of evil for a thousand years".
What does he mean by saying that now?
Did he escape certain death once again? Did the Nine Nether Emperor still fail to kill him?
"What kind of nightmare are you, daring to use Shangguan Biao's body to scheme against me?" The Earth Mother was no pushover either. "He died long ago at the hands of the Nine Nether Emperor!"
It has already retrieved the stone core, which is the best proof!
"Fine, whatever you say." Shangguan Biao shrugged, looking completely indifferent. "Normally, people aren't stupid enough to fall into the same trap twice. Luckily, you're not human."
"What do you mean?" Mother Earth had almost reached the entrance to the crevice and reached out to grab him.
Even if it's just a dream, it doesn't want to see this thing swaggering around in front of it.
“You’ve let your guard down. I’ve waited more than three years for this moment.” Shangguan Biao’s smile looked like a devil to the Earth Mother. “I’ll borrow your body again.”
Then he pointed at Mother Earth and shouted:
"retreat!"
The Earth Mother's forelegs were almost reaching out of the crevice, just a little short of plunging into the sunlight outside, but as soon as Shangguan Biao finished speaking, the chains on the Earth Mother's body were suddenly yanked, pulling it hard into the ground!
The force was immense, far surpassing anything before; Mother Earth was pulled back seven or eight zhang (approximately 33-40 meters). Countless rocks followed, crashing into the abyss.
The distance between it and Shangguan Biao widened instantly, but the mockery on the other's face became even more obvious in its eyes.
This dragging force is exactly the same as the chains that Shangguan Biao used to bind it in the Void back then!
Thinking of this, Mother Earth flew into a rage and charged towards the surface of the earth again.
Sure enough, as it was about to burst out of the ground, the force behind it reappeared, pulling it down forcefully.
Mother Earth roared in anger, resisting with all her might. But the forces beneath the earth were too strong, and she pulled it back inch by inch.
"Let me tell you the truth, this is still my void." Shangguan Biao said flippantly, his hands behind his back. "Give up your futile struggles and give me back this body."
This statement was like a nightmare reenacted for Mother Earth, stirring up the deepest fear in her heart!
Shangguan Biao stretched out his index finger and shook it back and forth: "Stop making trouble for yourself, you can't get out."
Above, a serene blue sky and white clouds stretched out before them; below, a bottomless, pitch-black abyss lay. Even though Mother Earth was born from the Earth's core, she yearned for the world of light above.
The freedom it fought so hard for must not be taken away by Shangguan Biao again!
Red light emanated from Mother Earth's eyes, her rocky body rapidly expanded, and her fingers dug deep into the stone walls, almost becoming one with her surroundings. The chains pulled back desperately, tearing large rocks from her arms, but Mother Earth remained unmoved, steadily and surely ascending.
It must break free. Even without the help of the Nine Nether Emperor, it is determined to break out of Shangguan Biao's void!
Once again, it approached the outlet of the fissure.
Shangguan Biao couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"How is this possible?" His astonishment and fear were palpable. "You shouldn't have climbed out!"
"So that you may die again!" The Earth Mother's deep roar echoed throughout this small world. "Your void will never be able to trap me again!"
It had been dormant in Shangguan Biao's illusory world for thousands of years because it was bewitched by the Golden Lotus of Wind and Dew and was completely unaware of its own situation.
Now that it has a clear goal and a clear mind, there is absolutely no way it can be trapped by Shangguan Biao again!
Finally, its forepaws pressed against the crevice's exit, and just half a foot away was a blooming purple flower.
The forces of the abyss pulled it back desperately, as if a faint voice was whispering in its ear:
"Don't go...it's dangerous..."
Since this is Shangguan Biao's void, how could the Earth Mother possibly heed such seductive words?
"Break off!" it roared, leaping upwards with all its might, regardless of how many stones were torn off its body.
Finally, the chains broke inch by inch and could no longer bind it.
The whispers in her ears disappeared, and Mother Earth leaped out of the crevice, soaring more than ten feet away, finally standing under the bright sunlight!
The surface world was teeming with life, bees and butterflies flitting about, flowers blooming in abundance—a stark contrast to the dark, desolate depths of the earth. But after Mother Earth emerged and looked around, she was startled to discover:
"This is not Changfeng Valley!"
It knew exactly what the medicinal fields in Changfeng Valley looked like, but there was no iconic five-clawed locust tree, no row of small houses, and no neatly planned medicinal fields.
This is just an uninhabited valley, overgrown with purple alfalfa, which looks like a beautiful purple dream under the blue sky and white clouds.
What is this place?
It steadied itself and strode towards Shangguan Biao directly in front of it.
No matter what complications arise, the priority is to kill this guy first. That's what you call staying true to the core principle despite all the changes!
