Why did you provoke her? Even Heaven itself is afraid of her.

Xiao Bo tried to touch the barrier with his spiritual power, but was bounced back.

He clutched his injured hand and said, "This barrier is too strong; we simply cannot break through it."

Just then, the Zhouyuan Spiritual Treasure suddenly emitted a strange light.

The light shone on the black energy barrier, and cracks appeared on the barrier.

Upon seeing this, Ling Yun was overjoyed.

"This cosmic treasure can break through this barrier. Let's pour our spiritual power into it and enhance its strength!"

Ling Yun, Qin Feng, and Xiao Bo infused their spiritual power into the Cosmic Essence Treasure.

The light emanating from the Primordial Spirit Treasure grew stronger and stronger.

Ultimately, the black energy barrier was completely shattered.

They successfully left the island and flew towards Neptune's energy core.

When they arrived at the energy core, they found that the cracks in the energy core had become even larger.

Dark energy surged forth like a flood, making Neptune's cosmic space even more turbulent.

Ling Yun carefully brought the Zhouyuan Spiritual Treasure close to the energy core.

The Primordial Spirit Treasure emitted a soft light, which gradually covered the cracks in the energy core.

As the light shone, the cracks began to heal slowly, and the black energy was gradually absorbed.

Under the influence of the Cosmic Essence Treasure, the energy core finally returned to calm.

The space of Neptune's universe gradually stabilized.

The surrounding marine life also calmed down, swimming happily as if celebrating the end of the crisis.

Xiao Bo said excitedly, "Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, the Neptune universe would probably be destroyed."

Ling Yun smiled and shook his head.

"This is a joint achievement. However, we cannot let our guard down. The threat of the Black Hole Saint King still exists, and we must continue to search for a way to completely eliminate him."

Qin Feng nodded: "That's right, we need to leave here as soon as possible and continue our journey."

Just as they were preparing to leave.

Suddenly, a huge black hole appeared in the sky.

A powerful suction force emanated from the black hole, directly pulling the Cosmic Essence Treasure in Ling Yun's hand towards it.

A figure slowly emerged from the black hole; it was none other than the Black Hole Saint King.

The Black Hole Saint looked down at Ling Yun and the others, letting out a sinister laugh.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect you guys to actually find the Cosmic Essence Treasure, the Starfall Chain. However, this thing is now mine. With it, the entire universe will be under my control!"

Say it.

The Black Hole Saint King then left the Neptune universe with the Starfall Chains.

Ling Yun's face was filled with murderous intent, and then he looked at Xiao Bo.

"Explain yourself clearly: how did you become the ruler of the universe? Why can the Black Hole Saint Lord freely enter and leave your Neptune universe? Are you colluding with the Black Hole Saint Lord?"

Xiao Bo was taken aback.

He then explained, "I don't know! I was with both of you the whole time!"

Ling Yun frowned, the doubt in his eyes not dissipating.

She stared intently at Xiao Bo and said coldly, "So what if we've been together all along? Maybe you already had a backup plan, secretly sending messages to the Black Hole Saint King to create an opportunity for him! Neptune is such an important place in the universe, yet he can come and go freely. This is no accident!"

Xiao Bo looked anxious, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Goddess Lingyun, you have really misunderstood me! As the ruler of the Neptune universe, it is my mission to protect this place. How could I collude with that Black Hole Saint and destroy my own home with my own hands?"

Qin Feng frowned slightly.

After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Sister Lingyun, don't rush to conclusions. Xiao Bo has been fighting alongside us the whole time, and judging from his previous behavior, he doesn't seem like someone who would betray us. There might be more to the story."

Ling Yun snorted coldly.

But her gaze remained fixed on Xiao Bo.

"Then tell me, what other possibility is there? This Cosmic Essence Treasure concerns the safety of the entire universe. Now that it has fallen into the hands of the Black Hole Saint King, the consequences are unimaginable!"

Xiao Bo was deep in thought when he suddenly slapped his thigh.

He said, "I remember now! Although the Neptune universe has many layers of protection, when the energy core malfunctioned, the universe's defense system experienced a brief period of disruption. Could it be that at that time, the Black Hole Saint Lord noticed the flaw and took the opportunity to set up a secret passage in the universe, which is why he could enter and exit so easily?"

Ling Yun's heart stirred, and he felt that what Xiao Bo said made sense, but he still did not completely dispel his doubts.

"Even so, as the ruler of the universe, you were completely unaware of the malfunction in the defense system, leading to such serious consequences. You cannot escape blame!"

Just as they were arguing, a strange fluctuation suddenly came from the depths of Neptune's universe.

A mysterious voice echoed in everyone's minds.

"If you want to reclaim the Cosmic Essence Treasure, go to the forbidden land of the universe, the Dark Abyss. There lies the power that can restrain the Black Hole Saint King. But remember, the Dark Abyss is fraught with danger, and a slight mistake will lead to annihilation."

Ling Yun and the others exchanged glances, a resolute glint in their eyes.

Despite the unknown and dangerous road ahead, they had no choice but to reclaim the Cosmic Treasure and save the universe.

Ling Yun took a deep breath.

He said, "No matter how dangerous the Dark Abyss is, we must go. Xiao Bo, we'll trust you this time. We hope you won't let us down."

Xiao Bo nodded emphatically.

"Rest assured, I will definitely go with you and do my best to make up for this mistake!"

Thus, Ling Yun, Qin Feng, and Xiao Bo, guided by the mysterious voice, headed together to the Dark Abyss.

The Dark Abyss is about three to five galaxies away from the black hole universe.

Moreover, its location is after the black hole universe.

In other words, to enter the Dark Abyss, one must secretly bypass the black hole universe.

Because of the existence of the Black Hole Saint King, this is no easy task.

So on the way, Ling Yun, Qin Feng, and Xiao Bo were constantly working out on the interstellar universe map to decide which route would allow them to safely bypass the black hole universe.

"Sister Lingyun, why don't we go to the Pluto universe first? The energy aura there is closest to that of a black hole. If we learn the Xuanming Undying Technique, we can change our own aura, which might be able to deceive the Black Hole Saint King," Qin Feng suggested.

"The Pluto universe?" Ling Yun asked casually. "Is it reliable? I don't have any impression of that place yet!"

"Absolutely reliable!" Xiao Bo answered before Qin Feng could. "The ruler of the Pluto universe is named Situ Qingming. He's a very good friend of mine. He did a great job for us during the First Interstellar War!"

"Really?" Ling Yun didn't believe Xiao Bo, and then looked at Qin Feng.

“That’s right, Sister Lingyun.” Qin Feng affirmed, “Back then, it was Situ Qingming who risked his life to infiltrate the Black Hole Universe and lure the Black Hole Saint King out of his stronghold to fight you to the death.”
