Chapter 4960: 5.0712 Arrival

"This place... it's quite different from when I last entered."

She remembered feeling quite uncomfortable in her consciousness when she last entered the Sea Abyss.

Not only was there a natural suction force here, but it also seemed to attack her consciousness.

But now, all of that was gone, as if the splitting headache she'd felt before was just an illusion.

"There's a giant sinkhole down below. There used to be an ancient formation, but it's been completely destroyed by human intervention now."

Duan Yue led her downwards, his voice pausing. "It looks remarkably like Mo Lian and that Rotten Peach Blossom's destructive methods."

Qiao Mu's eyes brightened. Further down, she saw a very conspicuous ice stalactite on the ice wall.

This area was previously completely enveloped by Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable's wood spirit power.

Although Duan Yue had led his people to clear it, there were still faint wisps of wood spirit power drifting in the air.

Qiao Mu followed Duan Yue into the ice cave below.

The ice cave, which had originally seemed endlessly deep, now revealed its true appearance after the ancient grand formation was broken, and its spatial effects dissipated.

Qiao Mu and Duan Yue smoothly arrived at the bottom of the cave, where they saw paths covered in scattered white bones extending forward.

The two floated slightly, moving forward for a short distance, and then saw a largely collapsed earthen wall.

A tattered sign hung in front of the earthen archway.

On it, four crooked characters were scrawled: Land of Sin.

The writing was simply horrendous, clearly not penned by anyone cultured.

Qiao Mu and Duan Yue exchanged a look.

Duan Yue said, "The grand formation is behind a pile of broken earthen walls. I'll take you to see it."

The two went around to the back, and Qiao Mu indeed saw a shattered grand formation, adorned with many chaotic totems and hieroglyphs.

Qiao Mu glanced at it and then averted her gaze. She couldn't understand it anyway, so she looked at Duan Yue.

Duan Yue squatted beside the damaged grand formation and, after observing for a while, said, "This should be an isolation seal formation."

"This ancient grand formation must have sealed something."

Qiao Mu blinked. "Now that the formation is destroyed, you mean whatever was inside has escaped?"

"Your Majesty!" Shao Yi quickly walked up to him and bowed respectfully. "Something's been discovered below."

"Qiaoqiao." Duan Yue called out to Lord Qiaoqiao, and the two followed Shao Yi around to the back of a broken wall.

There, they saw a beast-shaped pit that had collapsed, extending downwards.

It seemed that the giant beast had rolled through this spot.

Qiao Mu estimated that the beast's body was probably over three meters tall, and this likely wasn't the Holy Beast's original form.

Wuyi then stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, your subordinates speculate that this Holy Beast has already left the Sea Abyss."

Duan Yue paused, then quickly jumped into the deep pit made by the giant beast with a few Dark Guards, following the uneven pits forward.

The terrain grew progressively lower until a fault appeared before them.

Beneath the fault, glaciers stood tall, shimmering with a faint light. A layer of shimmering blue seawater slowly flowed around the glaciers.

Wuyi pointed to the fault and said, "Your Majesty, look. This Holy Beast must have crashed directly down from here."

Qiao Mu leaned her head out to look, nearly extending half her body beyond the platform.

Duan Yue quickly reached out and pulled her back a few steps, frowning and whispering, "Qiaoqiao, stay here and don't move. I'll take some people down to check."
