Chapter 197: I Have A Bold Idea
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation | Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“It’s just a small trick, not worth mentioning,” Lu Xuan humbly said.
After learning that the spatial bridge was connected to another world, he had a vague plan in mind.
And to implement this plan, he needed Nuwa’s help.
As for whether she was lying or had ulterior motives…
With Lu Xuan’s strength, he didn’t need to worry about such things.
He turned to Cheng Lingzhu and smiled:
“Let’s go over there and take a look… Well, since we’re here already.”
“Let’s go.”
Cheng Lingzhu waved her hand in agreement.
Inside the pit leading to the Demon Abyss.
Lu Xuan and his companion quietly waited.
The pit was ordinary, no different from a regular large pit.
Suddenly, wisps of purple-black demonic aura emerged from the bottom of the pit, and spatial cracks appeared.
A giant beast with six hooves and thick scale armor emerged.
Bloodthirsty, ferocious, sinister… Various negative auras flowed around it. The six-hoofed beast, with blood shining in its eyes, charged forward.
Lu Xuan frowned and shattered the soul of the giant beast.
The body of the beast, caught mid-charge, lost control and stumbled down.
Inside the pit, the spatial passage collapsed.
Just as it was about to disappear, a pair of hands propped up the spatial crack, one on each side, tearing it open.
Lu Xuan stabilized the space in the area and, together with Cheng Lingzhu, entered the spatial passage.
Heavy leaden clouds obscured the grayish-white sun.
The air was scorching, and the smell of sulfur permeated the surroundings.
On the other end of the spatial passage was a volcanic crater.
Neither of them felt any discomfort.
Cheng Lingzhu was already a Golden Core cultivator, and mere lava could not harm her, not to mention Lu Xuan.
He stood at the edge of the volcanic crater, looked down, and at the bottom of the crater, amidst the surging lava, a giant eye emerged.
Lu Xuan nodded slightly, sensing a kind of spatial law from this eye.
It seemed that the being controlling the passage between this world and the Archean Eon world was this creature.
“Roar—”
A sudden roar came from not far away. The two followed the sound and saw a hundred-zhang-tall winged giant ape fighting with a golden-horned giant serpent, entangled in battle.
“The laws of heaven and earth here are very strange.”
Lu Xuan frowned and sensed around, “Madness, bloodthirstiness, chaos… I can feel the will of this world.
Cheng Lingzhu heard this and looked towards the two giant beasts fighting.
The strength of the giant ape was somewhat stronger than the serpent, gradually gaining the upper hand.
The serpent had deep wounds visible to the bone, but instead of retreating, it became more ferocious, attacking even more wildly.
“The bloodline of these ferocious beasts is branded with genes of slaughter and bloodthirstiness…” Lu Xuan said. “Similar to the Barbarian tribes?”
Cheng Lingzhu inquired.
“Somewhat, but there are still some differences,” Lu Xuan pondered for a while.
“The Barbarian tribes are inherently savage because when Mohe Yesha created them, something was missing from the divine essence, resulting in the Barbarians having only beastly instincts and no humanity.” “But the creatures of this world… seem more intentional.”
“Intentional?” Cheng Lingzhu raised an eyebrow.
Lu Xuan nodded, “Nuwa calling this place the ‘Demon Abyss’ is quite fitting. The creatures here are born bloodthirsty and naturally inclined towards war and killing… This is the will of this world.”
He had already figured out the operating rules of the Demon Abyss. While they spoke, the golden-horned serpent was torn in two by the hundred-zhang-tall ape.
The ape crushed the serpent’s skull, consuming its brain matter.
The flesh and blood of the serpent were also devoured, leaving not even bones behind, eaten completely clean.
After doing all this, the ape raised its arms, pounding its chest while letting out a long howl.
Its body swelled up, growing even larger, its aura becoming more powerful and ferocious, and a golden horn grew on its forehead.
“Mutual slaughter and devouring each other for self-strengthening…”
Lu Xuan nodded his head.
The two did not stay in this place for long. After observing the battle between the ape and the serpent, Lu Xuan and Cheng Lingzhu left the area.
Three days later.
Archean Eon World, Demon God Mountain.
“The Demon Abyss is a great place, ” Lu Xuan remarked as he emerged from the spatial passage.
He and Cheng Lingzhu spent three days to get a general understanding of the Demon Abyss.
It is also a major realm but falls short compared to the Archean Eon World.
The Demon Abyss is divided into nine layers, functioning as a whole.
However, there were barriers between each layer, making them relatively isolated and independent.
The Demon race follows a path of survival evolution.
In each layer of the Demon Abyss, there is an [Origin Sea].
All Demon race beings were born from the Origin Sea.
Initially, they were merely ordinary Demon Abyss beetles, crawling out from the Origin Sea.
Driven by instinct, the Demon Abyss beetles engage in mutual slaughter and devouring, transforming and growing step by step into powerful Demon race beings.
In each layer of the Demon Abyss, there is a [Lord], whose strength is comparable to a Transcendent Phase cultivator in the Archean Eon World.
However, the Lords are special; each one has refined an entire layer of the Demon Abyss.
If they utilize the power of the Demon Abyss, their combat capability could surpass that of the Transcendent Stage cultivator.
Lu Xuan referred to this state as “Pseudo-Immortal.
It was worth mentioning that after merging with the Demon Abyss, the Lords’ realms no longer grow, but their lifespans become exceedingly long.
As long as the Demon Abyss exists, the Lords could live..
