Yet, the truth of these tales remained a mystery, as few dared to venture into the abyss, which was perpetually shrouded in malevolent demonic qi. Even the mightiest of beings, the Great Luo Immortal Venerables, could not withstand its corrupting influence. A moment's carelessness could lead one to be consumed by the darkness and stray onto a path of destruction.
Many valiant souls from the Northern Chill Immortal Domain had sought to uncover the secrets of the abyss, only to be lost to its depths or succumb to the demonic qi, wreaking havoc upon the region. To prevent further tragedy, the Northern Chill Immortal King sealed the abyss, forbidding entry.
Despite the prohibition, the king himself could not resist the allure of its mysteries. As the sovereign of the Northern Chill Immortal Region, he felt compelled to understand the anomaly within his domain. His attempts to penetrate the abyss were thwarted by an enigmatic force, leaving him no choice but to abandon his quest, leaving behind only a trace of his power.
Recently, the king sensed a disturbance in the abyss's seal. Driven by concern, he delved into its depths once more. To his astonishment, he discovered that the Forbidden Demonic Abyss was the resting place of the Ancient Devil Palace, a relic of the Immortal World.
Intent on avoiding conflict with the denizens of the Primordial Devil Palace, the king sought to rally the other Immortal Domains. His plan was to contain the Desolate Ancient Devil Palace within the abyss swiftly and decisively. Tragically, his actions did not go unnoticed, and he met his end at the hands of the very force he sought to contain.
Harnessing his formidable might, the Northern Chill Immortal King managed to withdraw from the Forbidden Devil Abyss. Once he had escaped, the Ancient Devil Palace, realizing their cover was blown, preemptively struck. They erupted from the Forbidden Demonic Abyss, unleashing their fury across the eighteen provinces of the Northern Chill Immortal Region.
In a stroke of luck, Peter Parker made an unexpected return to the Northern Chill Immortal Domain. In just half a day, he decimated the invading forces of the Desolate Ancient Devil Palace across the Nine Prefectures, compelling them to beat a hasty retreat. Had it not been for his timely intervention, the Northern Chill Immortal Domain would surely have descended into a chasm of despair.
Following their defeat at the hands of Peter Parker, the Ancient Devil Palace withdrew to their stronghold within the Forbidden Devil Abyss. It was this turn of events that spurred the Northern Chill Immortal King to rally the full might of his domain and march toward the Forbidden Devil Abyss with resolute determination.
Perched outside the Forbidden Demonic Abyss, the Northern Chill Immortal King, flanked by a cadre of over a hundred experts, surveyed the chasm that lay thousands of meters below.
"Immortal King," voiced a middle-aged Taiyi Immortal Venerable, his brow furrowed with concern, "with the Desolate Ancient Devil Palace now entrenched in the Forbidden Demonic Abyss, even the Great Luo Immortal Venerables would struggle against the pervasive devilish energy. It would be imprudent for us to venture within."
This sage was none other than Immortal Venerable Wushang, the esteemed palace master of the Nameless Immortal Palace.
"Fear not," the Northern Chill Immortal King replied coolly. "I have no intention of recklessly plunging into the Forbidden Demonic Abyss. Instead, I will set an ancient sealing formation that will compel them to emerge. Should they refuse, they will find themselves sealed within once more."
With these words, the Northern Chill Immortal King advanced and positioned himself directly above the Forbidden Demonic Abyss, commencing the establishment of the sealing formation.
Simultaneously, deep within the Forbidden Demonic Abyss, a pitch-black palace seethed with vile demonic energy. At its heart, a hulking figure, crowned with a single horn and shrouded in dark miasma, was immersed in deep cultivation.
After an indeterminate period, the burly man finally opened his eyes, which glinted with a bloodthirsty light.
"Damn it, I still can't purge that power from my body."
His expression was dark and stormy.
The man was known as Cang Ya, a formidable Devil King from the Ancient Devil Palace, whose might was on par with the peak Immortal Kings of the Immortal World.
In the epic conflict between the Immortal and Devil Worlds, not only had an Immortal World expert sealed him here, but he had also suffered severe injuries from a mysterious force.
Years had passed, yet Cang Ya remained unable to rid himself of this invasive power.
This very affliction had thwarted his return to full strength, to the extent that even the early Immortal King of the Northern Chill Immortal King had failed to eliminate him.
With the Northern Chill Immortal Region back in power, they were unlikely to show mercy.
He needed to regain his full strength to confront the looming threats.
"Demon... Lord Demon King, we're in trouble. The Northern Chill Immortal King has led forces to the outskirts of the Forbidden Demonic Abyss."
At that moment, a shadowy figure burst into the hall.
"What's there to panic about?" Cang Ya Devil King retorted with icy disdain. "Not even a Primordial Immortal Venerable can withstand the demonic Qi of the Forbidden Demonic Abyss with ease. Do you really think the Northern Chill Immortal King is foolish enough to storm in?"
The shadowy figure stammered out a response, "Lord Demon King, the Northern Chill Immortal King isn't attempting an assault on the Forbidden Demonic Abyss. He's erected a formation above it, apparently aiming to seal it off!"
Upon hearing this, Cang Ya Devil King's face showed a flicker of concern.
He was all too familiar with the Immortal World's sealing techniques.
In the past, one such technique had trapped him and his legions here. Only recently had he glimpsed hope of freedom.
He had no intention of falling prey to the Northern Chill Immortal King's seals once more.
A fierce demonic light blazed in Cang Ya Devil King's eyes as he commanded, "Relay my orders immediately. All devil sovereigns are to join me in breaking out of this prison!"
As Cang Ya's voice dissipated, he transformed into a streak of black light, ascending swiftly into the heavens.
In an instant, Cang Ya materialized above the Forbidden Demonic Abyss. He fixed his gaze on the Northern Chill Immortal King, his eyes swirling with thick devilish energy. "Northern Chill Immortal King, how dare you wreak havoc in my domain? It seems you're inviting your own demise!"
The Northern Chill Immortal King met his gaze with icy eyes. "Cang Ya Demon King, the Immortal World is no place for your Desolate Ancient Devil Palace. Today, I shall purge your presence from this realm!"
"Empty bravado!" Cang Ya, the Devil King, retorted with a scornful laugh. Suddenly, hundreds of shadowy figures, each radiating a potent devilish aura, materialized in the Devil Abyss with a swift whoosh.
"Northern Chill Immortal King, if you're so intent on leading the people of the Northern Chill Immortal Region to their doom, then I, the Devil King, will grant your wish today and obliterate them!"
Without hesitation, Cang Ya, the Devil King, commanded his forces. The devilish Qi from the legion of devil sovereigns surged, coalescing into a dark cloud that eclipsed the sun, casting a shadow over Peter Parker and his companions.
"Kill!" The command was given.
The Northern Chill Immortal King, emanating an aura of sheer coldness, disappeared from the sky above the Forbidden Devil Abyss alongside Cang Ya Demon King in a mere blink.
