363 The Rumored Legend
Hu Jinbao said, "The legend I'm about to tell you about is actually very special. I can guarantee that not many people have heard about this listen in the entire universe."
Qin Feng nodded his head and showed enthusiasm as he listened.
Hu Jinbao said, "The Burning Ice Emperor was a very powerful Ancient Immortal and before the great war that almost destroyed the entire universe, he has been living in seclusion for thousands of years. He entered seclusion after losing his beloved wife in a tragic accident. He devoted himself to cultivating the Burning Ice Art, a supreme technique that combines the effect of fire into the ice element, creating a unique and unmatched force."
"One day, he receives a message from his old friend, the Heavenly Thunder Emperor, who was also an Ancient Immortal and one of the few people who knew Burning Ice Emperor's whereabouts. The message said that the world is in grave danger and that he needs Burning Ice Emperor's help urgently. The Burning Ice Emperor was curious and concerned, so he decided to leave his secluded mountain and meet his friend."
"He arrived at the Heavenly Thunder Palace, where he was greeted by the Heavenly Thunder Emperor and his disciples. The Heavenly Thunder Emperor told the Burning Ice Emperor that a mysterious enemy had appeared in the universe and that that person was the leader of a cult called the Dark Abyss."
"The Dark Abyss cult worships someone called Dark Abyssal Lord and seeks to destroy the order and balance of the universe and to plunge it into chaos and darkness. The Dark Abyss cult also had a secret weapon: the Dark Abyss Pearl. The Dark Abyss Pearl is a Source Treasure born from the very essence of Abyss. It is a treasure that is rumored to contain a fragment of the Abyss itself. The Dark Abyss Pearl can absorb and corrupt any form of energy, and can unleash devastating attacks that can shatter the sky and the earth."
Stopping for a few seconds and observing Qin Feng's stunned expression, Hu Jinbao once again continued to explain this forgotten legend. He said, "The Heavenly Thunder Emperor told the Burning Ice Emperor that he had been fighting the Dark Abyss cult for a long time, but was unable to stop them. He said that the Dark Abyss cult has a hidden base, where they were preparing to use the Dark Abyss Pearl to open a portal to the Great Abyss, and to summon the Abyssal Beast, a monstrous creature that can devour stars and moons. He said that he had found the location of that base and that he needed the Burning Ice Emperor's help to infiltrate it and destroy the Dark Abyss Pearl."
Qin Feng wondered. Then he was reminded of the Butterfly Mark. He could use this mark to kill Hu Jinbao.
Anyway, Qin Feng was not worried. Even if he takes action and ends up being killed, he'll be back in time.
"What are you thinking?"
While Qin Feng was still thinking, Hu Jinbao's voice was heard.
Looking at him, Qin Feng saw Hu Jinbao was smiling.
A smile suddenly bloomed on Qin Feng's face as well. This smile gave a chilling sensation to Hu Jinbao for some reason.
Smiling at Hu Jinbao, Qin Feng honestly said, "I was thinking of how to kill you. Hey, tell me, do you have any weakness?"
