Abyss of Fiends

Abyss of Fiends / Demon Abyss (恶魔深渊), located in the Jiuli Secret Realm

## Summary

Long Chen could only move on. His new target was the only place marked with a blood-colored human skull.

This place was the Abyss of Fiends. No one knew just how deep this abyss was, but it emitted a fiendish air that caused people's hair to stand on end.

It was known as a land of absolute death. That was because that fiendish air was something ordinary people were unable to block. Sometimes just by getting close to the abyss, people would be corroded by the fiendish air, causing their mental states to collapse.

Countless shockingly powerful experts had tried to explore the Abyss of Fiends' secrets. As a result, countless experts had thrown their lives away there.

One peak expert had said that after advancing to Bone Forging, he had barely gotten three hundred meters into the abyss before a terrifying pressure tore through his body, almost making his body explode.

Three hundred meters was nothing, not even enough for him to reach the bottom of the abyss. From then on, no one else tried entering.

That was how that place had ended up being called a land of absolute death. Over countless years, there had never been anyone who had obtained the slightest benefit from that place, but instead, countless people's lives had been thrown in.

Those people whose lives had been lost were all experts amongst experts, as those were the ones who dared try to probe its secrets.

Those who dared to come to the Abyss of Fiends were all extremely conceited people. They all had powerful cultivation bases or live-saving measures.

But it was because of that conceit that they had lost their lives. They had used their fearlessness to tell other people a certain principle: being a show-off had its price.

Long Chen had chosen to go to the Abyss of Fiends for two reasons. The first reason was curiosity. He was like those previous experts, extremely confident in his own strength.

The other reason was that now that it had been four months since the Jiuli secret realm had opened, people had long since gone through all the marked places on the map.

Many opportunities had already been taken away by other people. If he wanted to find more opportunities, he would have to search in areas not marked by the map.

But the Jiuli secret realm was practically boundless. No one knew how large it was. Without the markings on the map, it was all too easy to get lost.

Furthermore, even if you didn't get lost, if you weren't able to get back in time for the closing of the secret realm, you wouldn't even be able to leave alive.

## Entering

As he got closer, the land around him became more and more desolate. In the beginning, there was still some dense vegetation around. But after a day's travel, that vegetation had disappeared. Each mountain was completely bare.

The ground had also turned from a dark yellow to a coal black. A strong deathly air was emitted from here. Three days later, Long Chen finally saw an abyss ahead.

This abyss was three thousand miles long. When he was still a hundred miles away, a terrifying pressure began to crush Long Chen.

"What a strong deathly air, what a powerful pressure!"

It was no wonder he hadn't seen a single person on his way. The pressure emitted by this abyss could easily crush Favored.

An ordinary person would be crushed to death before even approaching the abyss. Furthermore, the land around the abyss was barren for ten thousand miles. There was nothing to attract people here.

"The pressure has increased again." When Long Chen was thirty miles from the abyss, that pressure increased again. Long Chen felt as if a large mountain was crushing him.

But ever since condensing the Alioth Star, Long Chen's physical body had undergone a heaven-toppling transformation. If this was before condensing the Alioth Star, he would have needed to use his full strength to resist this pressure. But now he could basically ignore it.

As Long Chen advanced, that pressure only increased. By the time he reached the edge of the abyss, that pressure was something that would even crush Chosen.

Standing at the edge of the abyss, Long Chen looked down, seeing pitch blackness. He couldn't see anything, nor could he tell how deep it was.

He spread out his divine sense, but he was horrified to find that his divine sense suddenly disappeared as soon as it spread a few dozen meters. It was like snow had been dropped into lava, instantly and silently disappearing. Furthermore, his soul energy was now being rapidly exhausted. In less than a breath's time, a tenth of it was gone.

Long Chen jumped in fright and hastily retrieved his divine sense. He no longer dared to try using Spiritual Strength to inspect this place. This abyss was too bizarre.

After hesitating a moment and testing the hardness of the rock wall, Long Chen clenched his teeth and began to go down the abyss.

At a depth of three hundred meters, the surrounding space felt as if it had solidified as endless pressure pressed down on him. He felt even his lungs might explode from it. He had no choice but to begin circulating his spiritual qi to resist it.

"It's no wonder even Bone Forging experts would be crushed to death upon entering here. This pressure is too terrifying." Long Chen's abnormal physical body was no longer enough to resist this ocean-like pressure.

This kind of pressure was enough to turn steel into powder, let alone the physical body. If he hadn't condensed the Alioth Star, allowing his physical body to make a huge advancement, he would have long since become injured just standing here.

As he entered deeper, the pressure grew, and by ten thousand meters, his skin was starting to split open, blood pouring out.

Buzz.

Long Chen summoned out his divine ring to resist this pressure. As soon as the divine ring appeared, Long Chen felt the pressure lessen, and he had it much easier.

The divine ring not only increased his strength, but it also had a restrictive effect on the surrounding pressure. Clenching his teeth, Long Chen pressed onwards.

At fifteen thousand meters, Long Chen finally reached the bottom of the abyss. At this place, the pressure was even stronger, and furthermore, it was now surging around. It was as if Long Chen was stuck in the ocean, his body being constantly rocked by waves.

He carefully advanced forward. He saw that the ground around here had become even harder than steel from this pressure.

It was like this place was a valley, but the stones around here were craggy, and a ghastly air filled the place. The fiendish aura here would make a person's hair stand on end.

A sharp turn occurred in the path in front of him. Long Chen had only just made that turn when a ferocious light cut apart the void and rushed towards the middle of Long Chen's back.
