Jiang Zhou smiled, calm and composed. Everything was now under his control, and he was certain that the item was on Chu Feng.
The Great Abyss, dark and silent, usually had no ripples and was the most terrifying place in the Netherworld Universe, a place no one dared to tread.
However, it had now become the focus of global attention.
Unfortunately, even with sky-eye cameras, no clear images could be captured, and the feed was intermittent.
Chu Feng sighed softly. He hadn't expected to end up like this, truly having no other path. His expression serene, he began to sink, resolving that since there was no choice, he would throw himself into the Great Abyss rather than surrender the stone box.
"Wait!" Jiang Zhou's expression changed when he saw Chu Feng's resolute decision to sink into the Great Abyss. Here, he dared not use overly powerful laws, and at such a distance, if he were to act, he feared he might fail to restrain Chu Feng and completely lose the stone box.
"Beast, what more do you have to say?" Chu Feng spoke. At this point, there was no need for further words, nor any reason to be polite to this person.
He would never forget the palm strike from not long ago, when Jiang Zhou had obliterated three life planets, causing tens of billions of living beings to perish. It was too cold-blooded and cruel.
At that moment, Chu Feng's heart twitched, and his eyes reddened, but he was powerless to change anything.
People from the Yang Realm simply did not regard the beings of this universe as human, killing them at will. Tens of billions of lives were directly annihilated, and in Jiang Zhou's eyes, it was like crushing ants, with no guilt whatsoever.
"If you jump into the Great Abyss, your friends will die terribly. This isn't a threat; it's a fact." A cold smile played on Jiang Zhou's lips.
Chu Feng's face showed shock and fury. Although he knew the opponent was despicable and had already guessed various possibilities, this experience was still unbearable.
This was his weakness, but could he compromise? He truly didn't want to!
"In this life, I'll go first!" Chu Feng gritted his teeth one last time, preparing to leap into the Great Abyss.
"Wait, I don't want them to die. I never threaten people, nor do I stoop to intimidation. I'm merely stating a fact. How about you delay your death for a bit? First, see my decision. Actually, I don't wish to take lives." Jiang Zhou stopped him, his subsequent words unhurried and composed.
Meanwhile, at the edge of the chaos, the Old Divine Master and the Weasel had already finished their deductions, providing some coordinates to Jiang Zhou's and Xu Hong's true bodies.
Soon, Jiang Zhou's avatar at the Great Abyss received feedback and smiled faintly as he revealed the hiding places of the Big Black Ox, Ouyang Feng, Zhou Quan, Yellow Ox, and others to Chu Feng.
All these individuals had been pinpointed; there was no escape!
Chu Feng's eyes narrowed, and his body stiffened. He desperately wanted to throw himself into the Great Abyss but hesitated. What would happen to those people if he jumped?
He knew that the opponent wanted to gradually erode his firm conviction, making him turn back and emerge from the Great Abyss.
At this moment, Jiang Zhou calmly smiled and transmitted a message: "How about we conduct a test? You're going to die anyway, so at the last moment, let's test the good and evil of human nature and see if the friendship among you is truly strong."
Then, he turned to the evolvers of the Netherworld Universe and said, "Now, Chu Feng is here. Is there anyone willing to come here and die for him?"
"As long as Chu Feng's close friends, those intimately connected to him, dare to come here, I will spare Chu Feng. Of course, you yourself must die, perishing in Chu Feng's place," Jiang Zhou emphasized, completely at ease.
Upon seeing this, Chu Feng immediately began to sink into the Great Abyss. He did not want the opponent's malicious intent to be realized; it was too sinister.
"This is merely a test of human nature. If you stay there, I won't kill anyone. But if you jump, I'll slaughter them all!" Jiang Zhou quickly transmitted with soul light. His heart was completely tense, fearing that his efforts would be in vain.
Chu Feng's gaze was icy, filled with intense hatred. At the very last moment, he hovered there, holding back.
Because, from the bottom of the Great Abyss's endless darkness, he saw a point of white light appearing, slowly ascending!
"Damn you, you evil god from the Yang Realm!"
At that moment, the Big Black Ox, Ouyang Feng, Yellow Ox, and others couldn't help but curse loudly. They knew that even if they rushed over, they couldn't save Chu Feng, and Jiang Zhou's current audacious proposal was purely a game with human lives.
The talk of human ugliness and kindness, and the test of friendship, were all mere pretexts, mere tools. In reality, he wanted to torment everyone and thereby break Chu Feng's will.
"Even though I know you're a shameless bastard, your Grandpa Ox still can't help but step forward. If I come over, will you let Chu Feng go?"
"And me!" Yellow Ox and others also stepped forward.
"Hee-haw, hee-haw, gods of the Yang Realm, your Grandpa Donkey greets your entire female lineage for eighteen generations!"
The group was enraged, cursing loudly.
"Time is short. Currently, only one person is needed. Is there anyone willing to die for Chu Feng?" Jiang Zhou asked again, a faint smile on his face, addressing the Netherworld Universe.
"I, the Mastiff King of Kunlun Mountain, my current coordinates are..." The Mastiff King spoke on the Black Blood Platform, roaring as he stepped forward directly, declaring his willingness to die for Chu Feng.
"Your Grandpa Ox is also here..."
Almost at the same time, the Big Black Ox and others began to speak, but the Mastiff King was quicker, stepping forward first.
"Heh, no need for more words!" Jiang Zhou sneered, vanishing from outside the Great Abyss.
But the next moment, he quickly returned, carrying the Mastiff King. At this level, traversing the starry sky was far too easy.
"I'll kill your ancestors for nineteen generations!"
The Big Black Ox and others' eyes bulged, and they roared in fury, their hair bristling with anger at the intermittent images caught by the sky-eye cameras.
Because they saw Jiang Zhou cruelly carrying the Mastiff King, breaking many of his bones, and then throwing him, covered in blood, to the edge of the Great Abyss.
These individuals were furious, about to drive the Demon Ancestor's Cauldron and charge over to fight him.
"Don't come!" Chu Feng's eyes were also bloodshot, but he roared this command. He knew that even with their passion and unyielding will to fight, it was useless. They were ultimately no match and would only die in vain.
The Mastiff King also spoke weakly, saying, "Don't come, there's no need to follow the path arranged by this evil god from the Yang Realm. My stepping out like this is just to prove how disgusting he is. Jiang Zhou, right? Your Grandpa Mastiff King is here. Do you have the guts to spare my brother Chu Feng?"
"Brother!" In the starry sky, a group of great demons cried out.
"Yaoyao, is that you? Come quickly!"
In the Great Abyss, Chu Feng clenched his fists, looking into the depths of the dark forbidden zone, hoping that the white light was the reappearance of the ancient Yaoyao's physical body.
At this moment, he yearned intensely to become stronger. In this world, in the end, strength was all that mattered. Black and white, good and evil, without sufficient powerful trump cards, all talk was pale and powerless.
Jiang Zhou looked at the Mastiff King and said, "I keep my word. You came to die for Chu Feng, so I will spare his life for now. Hmm, you may now depart."
"Stop!" Chu Feng roared. The opponent was too malicious. These were words meant to stab him in the heart, to force him to witness a bloody scene, to coerce him into submission.
His claims of not intimidating or threatening were naturally false; he simply wanted to show Chu Feng this cruel scene and shake his resolve.
"I dislike being spoken to that way," Jiang Zhou said calmly. With a flick of his finger, the Mastiff King exploded with a 'poof' sound, and a mist of blood scattered.
"Jiang Zhou, you bastard!"
Chu Feng wished he could instantly generate god-level energy to obliterate Jiang Zhou. His eyes ached, and his heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife; it was unbearable. The Mastiff King had rushed over to die for him, only to be killed like this!
Jiang Zhou smiled and said, "Hate me, detest me, what does it matter? Do you possess such power? An ant howling at a god only appears lowly and ridiculous."
Then, with a point of his finger, the Mastiff King's blood mist turned to ash and completely vanished, but a weak soul light remained in its place; the Mastiff King's true spirit was not extinguished and was still there.
"This mastiff is quite loyal, with deep brotherly affection, truly daring to come and die for you. Hmm, not bad." Jiang Zhou looked at the Abyss and said to Chu Feng, "Now, I'll give you another chance. This mastiff died for you, but it's not a complete annihilation. If you come up and die once for this mastiff—no, just offer your blood as a sacrifice for him—I will release his soul light, and his recovery will be no problem."
"You disgusting evil god from the Yang Realm, you don't keep your word! Now you're still shamelessly coercing us. Do you have any decency left?" the Mastiff King roared, his soul light faint but still unyielding.
At the same time, he looked at Chu Feng and said, "Brother, don't pay attention to him. Back then, people from the Great Qi Dynasty came from the Laoshan Star Road on Earth. I was captured alive by them, crippled, and returned to my original form, with a chain around my neck, suffering extreme humiliation. It was you who saved me and healed me."
The Mastiff King, valuing loyalty and righteousness, already shared a bond of life and death with Chu Feng. Coupled with these past events, he naturally feared death even less and was willing to suffer for Chu Feng.
"Too vicious! Kill him!"
In a distant star field, the Big Black Ox, Yellow Ox, and others were indignant. They decided to go all out, communicating with the Demon Ancestor's Cauldron, asking if it could contend with this so-called god.
"I am merely a weapon. Although once very powerful, I am damaged. And he is an evolver whose divine-level power has been suppressed to the Reflection-level. I am certainly no match," the Demon Ancestor's Cauldron admitted. Nevertheless, at everyone's urging and pleading, it gathered the scattered individuals and set off with them!
"Damn it, we're going all out! If we're going to die, let's die together! Let's go slay a god!" the group shouted.
From the Great Abyss, a hazy white light suddenly shot up.
"Yaoyao, is that you? Kill him!" Chu Feng's blood boiled with rage as he transmitted a message, calling out to the woman who surged from the Great Abyss.
"Hmm!?"
Jiang Zhou rapidly retreated, abandoning all concerns. A being had burst forth from the Great Abyss, making his hair stand on end. He put all his effort into dodging backward.
However, it was too fast, so fast that even Jiang Zhou was astonished. How could this universe have an evolver with such speed?
The sound of a sword being drawn echoed outside the Great Abyss. Brilliant sword light, like a blazing sun, was dazzling, illuminating the darkness as it streaked towards Jiang Zhou.
He was rapidly dodging, yet at this moment, panic still seized him. Even a figure like him felt an immense sense of crisis, realizing he couldn't evade it.
A single sword strike came. Blood burst from his neck, and his head flew off at an angle, severed!
