Chaos God's Nest

"What's wrong, Xu Yao?" Yan Xiaohuang exclaimed in surprise, and quickly stepped forward to help Xu Yao up.

At this moment, Xu Yao's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and his face was extremely pale. In his eyes, there was a lingering sense of terror.

“I…I remember! I also saw…I saw those people!” Xu Yao said, panting heavily and his voice trembling.

"Those people? Who are those people?" Yan Xiaohuang asked repeatedly, his expression hardening.

It's conceivable that something capable of frightening even the immortal prince Xu Yao to such an extent must be an extremely terrifying being.

At this moment, Xu Yao took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, before saying with a look of terror in his eyes, "I don't know what those people are! I only saw them standing on the boundless chaos, there were nine humanoid phantoms! They seemed like nothingness, yet they also seemed to be real, blurry and eerie, terrifying and powerful!"

"Nine humanoid phantoms? Are they unknown entities?" Yan Xiaohuang asked, frowning.

“I don’t know either!” Xu Yao slowly shook his head and said, “I only know that those nine humanoid phantoms are too terrifying! They are like endless dark abysses, constantly watching over all living beings! Under their gaze, everyone is like a tiny ant! Even those Immortal Emperors are nothing more than playthings in their hands!”

"This..." Yan Xiaohuang was utterly shocked. "Can you see what they really look like?"

“I can’t see them!” Xu Yao shook his head and replied, “Their faces and expressions are incredibly blurry, shrouded in endless chaos! I can only vaguely make out that they are all humanoid beings!”

"Then who do you think they are?" Yan Xiaohuang asked again.

"It's hard to say! But I feel like their presence is somewhat familiar to me!"

"familiar?"

Yan Xiaohuang was surprised to hear this.

According to Xu Yao, those beings must have already reached an incredibly terrifying level of power! Therefore, given Xu Yao's current strength, he is like an ant among ants in front of them!

Therefore, there could not possibly have been any contact between the two parties! But how could he say that he felt familiar with those people's aura? Isn't that a contradiction?

“You don’t need to overthink it! That person’s aura is indeed very familiar to me! It’s as if I’ve sensed it somewhere before!” Seeing Yan Xiaohuang’s surprised look, Xu Yao also spoke up.

As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes and began to think deeply again.

After a long while, he suddenly opened his eyes and exclaimed in surprise, "I remember now! They must be those people!"

"What do you mean by 'those people'? What are you talking about?" Yan Xiaohuang asked, completely bewildered.

In response, Xu Yao's face darkened, and he said again, "Brother Yuan, do you remember what I told you before, the thing about the last time I saw my father?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiaohuang quickly thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes! I remember! You once told me that your father... wait! You mean? Those people..."

“That’s right! It’s those people!” Xu Yao nodded heavily and said, “Those people must be the guys my father mentioned to me back then!”

"The great terror within the God's Nest?" Yan Xiaohuang said in a deep voice.

“Yes! And there’s absolutely no mistake!” Xu Yao said with a firm gaze, “The aura of those people is exactly the same as the aura that enveloped Father when he left! It seems that the reason Father became so weak must be because of them!”

At this point, Xu Yao's face grew increasingly gloomy. He clenched his fists, and the anger in his eyes was beyond measure.

"I never imagined my earlier guess was right! My father's passing was indeed related to those people! No! I must avenge this!"

As Xu Yao spoke, his body began to tremble uncontrollably. He was blinded by hatred, and his inner demons were stirring, showing a strong tendency to go mad.

Seeing this, Yan Xiaohuang couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding. He quickly shouted, "How do you plan to take revenge? With your current strength?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yao's body trembled, and the hatred in his eyes immediately faded considerably.

"The strength of those people you saw is beyond anything you or I could have imagined! Even your father, the Immortal Emperor Taixu, was no match for them back then! With your abilities? How could you possibly do it? Is it a pipe dream? Or just wishful thinking?"

"I..."

Xu Yao opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but found that he had nothing to say in response.

After a long silence, he finally let out a long sigh and said weakly, "Yes! Even my father is no match for them! What chance do I have?"

Seeing that Xu Yao had finally returned to normal, Yan Xiaohuang, who was standing to the side, also felt a great sense of relief.

Then, he stepped forward, gently patted Xu Yao's shoulder, and said, "Brother Xu Yao! What I said just now..."

“It’s alright!” Xu Yao waved his hand to interrupt, “You’re absolutely right! With my current cultivation level, avenging my father is indeed a pipe dream! To be honest, I don’t even know where those people are right now! But…”

At this point, Xu Yao clenched his fists again.

"But I am truly unwilling! My father passed away under mysterious circumstances! As his son, how can I ignore it? How can I have peace of mind if I do that?"

Upon hearing Xu Yao's words, Yan Xiaohuang slowly shook his head and then said, "Brother Xu Yao, you misunderstand me! I don't mean for you to ignore this, but this matter requires careful consideration! Right now, the most urgent task is to improve our strength as quickly as possible! I think that since those people truly exist, they will reappear one day! Besides..."

At this point, Yan Xiaohuang paused for a moment.

"And what else?" Xu Yao couldn't help but ask upon hearing this.

"Besides, didn't you also tell me about that Undying Chaos Body that hasn't appeared yet? At worst... at worst, we can just lie low until it appears! By then, under its leadership, your father's revenge should be avenged!" Yan Xiaohuang said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yao suddenly realized what was happening and slapped his thigh, exclaiming, "That's right! Isn't there still that Undying Chaos Body? How could I have forgotten about him! He's bound to appear! After all, it's something my father told me about himself!"

At this point, Xu Yao quickly turned to look at Yan Xiaohuang, his eyes filled with gratitude as he clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Brother Yuan! Thank you so much for today! You've once again cleared up my doubts!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiaohuang chuckled and immediately waved his hand, saying, "Hey! We're like brothers! Don't be so polite with me!"
