Supreme sect of all multiverse

The group stood at the edge of Abyssal Valley, staring into the swirling mist below. The ground trembled slightly, as if something deep within the valley had sensed their arrival.

Zhang Wei exhaled. "Alright, last chance to turn back. Anyone?"

No one moved.

Lin Feng smirked. "Then let's move."

As they descended into the valley, an eerie silence settled over them. No birds. No wind. Just absolute stillness.

Mei Ling whispered, "Something feels… wrong."

Lin Feng's system chimed in:

"Warning: Abyssal Energy Detected. The deeper you go, the more unstable your cultivation will become."

Lin Feng frowned. "So it's a suppression field?"

"Worse. If you stay too long, your cultivation might permanently regress."

Zhang Wei groaned. "Of course it's not just a simple valley."

Lin Feng activated Heavenly Mirage Step, carefully suppressing his aura. "Stay alert. If we take too long, we're dead."

They pressed forward.

The Forgotten Ruins

After an hour of navigating through broken terrain, they stumbled upon an ancient temple buried within the valley walls.

The stone walls were covered in ancient carvings, depicting a mighty figure battling the heavens themselves.

Lin Feng touched the carvings. "This must be the Forgotten God."

The system chimed:

"Correct. This being once attempted to defy the Heavenly Dao itself… and was erased from history."

Zhang Wei crossed his arms. "Sounds like someone I'd get along with."

Mei Ling rolled her eyes. "You'd be vaporized instantly."

Lin Feng smirked. "Let's see if there's anything useful inside."

They pushed open the massive stone doors and stepped inside.

Trial of the Forgotten God

The moment they entered, the torches lining the walls ignited, casting an ominous glow.

A deep voice rumbled through the chamber.

"You who seek my legacy… prove your worth."

The air shifted—phantom warriors formed from golden energy, wielding ancient weapons.

The system chimed:

"Trial Activated: Defeat the Forgotten Warriors. Difficulty: Unknown."

Lin Feng cracked his neck. "Alright. Let's see what these guys got."

Zhang Wei grinned. "Finally, something to hit!"

The warriors charged forward, and the battle began.
