Chapter 24: Stone Tablet Revelation and Seal Crisis

At this critical moment, the colorful phoenix let out a shrill cry, and it suddenly spread its wings and used its body to block Feng Yao. The guardian beast's huge claws slapped the colorful phoenix, and the phoenix's feathers flew, blood splattered, and it let out a painful wail, but still protected Feng Yao tightly.

Feng Yao's eyes were filled with tears, and her heart was filled with grief and anger. She tried her best to inject the last bit of her magic power into the stone tablet. In an instant, the stone tablet glowed brightly, and a strong beam of light shot up into the sky, and the picture in the light curtain was finally fully presented.

In between the fierce battles with the guardian beasts, everyone looked at the light screen. The screen showed that when the ancient demon god was sealed, he left behind a key sealing spell. If you want to strengthen the seal, you must find the five "Spirit Source Holy Pearls" scattered between heaven and earth, place them in five specific locations in the Nether Abyss, and activate the sealing formation set up in ancient times, so as to completely prevent the demon god from being awakened.

However, just as everyone was getting this key information, a strong energy fluctuation suddenly came from outside the Nether Abyss. Feng Yao was startled and said, "Not good, I'm afraid the people from the mysterious force have noticed our actions and they have also come to the Nether Abyss."

At this time, the guardian beast seemed to have sensed the abnormality outside the Nether Abyss, and its attack became even more frantic, completely ignoring the counterattacks of the crowd, and was determined to destroy the stone tablet. Just as the guardian beast swung its claws to smash the stone tablet again, Yang Jian saw the opportunity and used all his strength to stab the three-pointed double-edged knife into one of the guardian beast's legs. The guardian beast felt pain and its body swayed. The attack deviated from the direction and only brushed past the stone tablet, leaving a shallow mark on it.

Ao Bing took the opportunity to use his water magic to freeze the lower body of the guardian beast, restricting its movement. Bajie seized the opportunity and used the nine-toothed rake to attack the back of the guardian beast fiercely. The guardian beast roared, and the black flames on its body became more and more vigorous, trying to break free.

Feng Yao quickly read the clues about the five "Spirit Source Holy Pearls" on the stone tablet and found that one of them was most likely in the Nether Abyss. She didn't care about the battle with the guardian beast and shouted to everyone: "I'm going to find the Spirit Source Holy Pearl, you hold the guardian beast!" After that, she rode on the injured five-colored phoenix and flew deeper into the Nether Abyss.

Although the colorful phoenix was seriously injured, it felt Feng Yao's anxiety and determination and still tried its best to fly. The Nether Abyss was filled with thick yin and fog, and strange lights flashed from time to time around, and the eerie and terrifying atmosphere became stronger. While flying, Feng Yao paid attention to the surrounding environment, looking for clues related to the Lingyuan Holy Pearl.

Suddenly, Feng Yao discovered a huge cave in front of her. A faint light emanated from the cave entrance, which was somewhat similar to the aura of the Holy Spirit Pearl recorded on the stone tablet. She was delighted and commanded the colorful phoenix to fly towards the cave.

As soon as they approached the cave, a strong suction came from inside the cave, trying to suck Feng Yao and the Five-Colored Phoenix in. Feng Yao tightly grasped the feathers of the Phoenix, resisting the suction with all her might. The Five-Colored Phoenix flapped its wings vigorously, making bursts of wailing, and was in a stalemate with the suction.

Just when Feng Yao was about to give up, she saw some strange runes carved at the entrance of the cave. She was moved and remembered some rune deciphering methods recorded on the stone tablet. She concentrated her mind and drew the corresponding runes in the air with her fingers according to the deciphering methods. As the runes appeared, the suction gradually weakened, and Feng Yao and the colorful phoenix took the opportunity to fly into the cave.

The cave was very spacious, and the walls were inlaid with various exotic gems, emitting a soft light. In the center of the cave, there was a huge stone platform, on which was placed a bead emitting colorful light, which was the Holy Spirit Bead they were looking for.

However, just as Feng Yao was about to take the Holy Spirit Bead, a group of short monsters with black mist all over their bodies suddenly emerged from under the stone platform. These monsters made sharp cries and rushed towards Feng Yao. Feng Yao hurriedly commanded the colorful phoenix to spray flames to block the monsters' attack.

At the same time, outside the Nether Abyss, the mysterious forces had broken through the restrictions and entered the Nether Abyss. The leader was a man in a black robe with a stern face. His eyes were like lightning, scanning everything around him, and he snorted coldly: "I didn't expect them to get here before us. We must not let them ruin our plan." After that, he led his men to rush into the Nether Abyss.

Yang Jian, Ao Bing and Bajie, who were fighting the guardian beast in the Nether Abyss, were also in a tough fight. The guardian beast, in anger, broke free from Ao Bing's frozen bondage, the black flames on its body became more vigorous, and its nine tails swung wildly, with each strike carrying the power to destroy the world.

After Ao Bing continuously cast powerful water spells, his magic power was consumed greatly and he gradually became unable to continue.
