A total of five clusters of blood-red aerosols, coming from far and near, soon appeared at the edge of the Endless Abyss and stopped.
The blood mist slowly dispersed, revealing five Immortal Blood Race members with fleshy wings, four of which were at the Half Saint level.
There was also an Immortal Blood Race whose cultivation was unfathomable, and the blood qi in his body was as volatile as the sea, reflecting even the ink-black clouds above into red.
The one standing at the very front was quite young, with a heroic figure, giving off an extraordinary aura.
It was the second prince of the Immortal Blood Clan.
In the battle at the Sikong Zen Academy, although the Second Prince had been severely injured by Zhang Ruochen, however, his vitality was so strong that not only did he escape, but after his injuries had healed, his cultivation had instead improved again.
“This is the Endless Abyss? It’s really an odd place, the cultivation was severely suppressed, and at most, I could only utilise one tenth of my power.”
The Second Prince of the Immortal Blood Race raised his palm, slightly lucked out, and formed a palm seal, then shook his head again and withdrew his holy qi back into his Qi Sea.
Beside the Undying Blood Race’s Second Prince, a three-metre tall hulk with bowl-thick chains wrapped around his body clenched his fists and laughed, “Cultivation has been suppressed, but fleshly strength has not, in this way, our Undying Blood Race will have an advantage over humans.”
“That’s right, the Immortal Blood Race’s most powerful thing is its physical body, in the same realm, it’s enough to abuse humans.”Another Immortal Blood Race’s Half-Saint said.
The Immortal Blood Race’s second prince’s gaze stared over towards the Immortal Orchid King as he said, “Imperial Uncle, are we really only searching for the Blood Race Secret Scrolls when we came to the Endless Abyss?”
“It’s very likely that the Sacred Book Talented Maiden obtained the Blood Clan Secret Scroll from the Shangguan Family, and the Blood Clan Secret Scroll must have some hidden things recorded on it, otherwise, she wouldn’t have come to the Endless Abyss for no reason. Since, the Sacred Book Talented Maiden died here and fell down the Endless Abyss, then the Secret Scroll of the Blood Race must have fallen down together as well.”
The Immortal Orchid King carried a pair of arms behind his back, with an invisible aura emanating from his body, as if the rules of heaven and earth in this place could not suppress his powerful cultivation.
The Immortal Blood Race’s Second Prince’s gaze, glanced towards the bottom of the abyss, only to feel that there was a shocking and bizarre force coming from the bottom of the abyss, which actually pulled him downwards, wanting to devour him.
The Second Prince of the Immortal Blood Race broke out in a cold sweat and immediately took five steps back, moving away from the edge of the abyss, his heart palpitating as he said, “Is it true that there are three gradients in the Endless Abyss? Is the news reliable?”
“Regardless of whether the news is reliable or not, we must go down and explore, this is the order of the Crown Prince.”Immortal Orchid King said.
A ferocious light appeared in the eyes of the Second Prince of the Immortal Blood Race as he said, “I think he is deliberately trying to get me killed.”
The Immortal Orchid King patted the Immortal Blood Race’s second prince’s shoulder and sighed, saying, “In the battle of the Ancient Clan of the Suppressing Prison, Lord Qingtian Blood Emperor fought against the Holy Ancestor of the Hall of Brightness and the Buddha Emperor’s Great Disciple on his own, and he suffered a considerable amount of injuries, and he has already closed down to recuperate from his injuries.”
“Nowadays, the Crown Prince has the backing of his mother’s clan and is temporarily in charge of the Qingtian Clan. If we are unable to bring back the Secret Scrolls of the Blood Clan, the Crown Prince will definitely use the opportunity to deal with the Second Prince. We can only endure for a while, and as long as Lord Qingtian Blood Emperor emerges from the gate, everything will be fine.”
The Second Prince of the Immortal Blood Clan clenched his hands together and said, “If it wasn’t for the fact that the Crown Prince’s mother was the daughter of the Qi Tian Blood Emperor, who is he to fight me?”
In the end, the Immortal Orchid King calmed the Immortal Blood Race’s Second Prince’s emotions, down.
Afterwards, the five Immortal Blood Clansmen successively jumped down into the endless abyss and disappeared between the misty clouds.
“Wow…”
Zhang Ruochen’s figure, positioned at the edge of the Endless Abyss, manifested and glanced down towards the bottom of the abyss, muttering to himself, “The Immortal Orchid King is also a Saint realm existence, and actually jumped down into the Endless Abyss without any hesitation, so he must be aware of some hidden secrets. Could it be that the three gradients really exist?”
Seeing that Zhang Ruochen wanted to jump down after him, Little Black immediately tugged on Zhang Ruochen’s robes with his claws and said, “Even if there really are three gradients down there, jumping down would be a one-in-nine chance of death. It’s not too late for us to return to the Spectral Character Heavenly Palace to learn more before making a decision. For the secrets of the Endless Abyss, the people of the Blood God Cult definitely know a bit more than the Immortal Blood Race.”?Zhang Ruochen’s eyebrows knitted together, and in a flash, in his mind, he thought of many things and said, “I do have a lot of things left to do, so it’s not too late to go down there after I’ve done these things first.”
In the end, Zhang Ruochen left the Endless Abyss with Little Black and returned to the location of the Pixie Character Heavenly Palace’s camp.
……
…………
Below the abyss, which was roughly three thousand zhang from the ground, was a dark and sunless world. Here, there was no sunlight to be seen, it was cold and dark, just like a Moro Hell.
If the First Gradient truly existed, it should refer to this place.
“Ow!”
A seven-metre tall Fire Tiger Beast stood above a chaotic rocky hillock and let out a deafening roar. Its pair of blood-red eyes the size of a faceplate stared menacingly at the very weak woman below.
The Fire Tiger Beast licked its tongue and opened its bloody mouth, revealing its sharp teeth, emitting a strong aura of bloodlust.
The woman, who appeared quite weak, was covered in blood. Her body that was wrapped in blood scale made it impossible to see her original face.
Only the eyes beneath the blood scale were still full of spirituality, bearing an unyielding will as she continued to confront the Fire Tiger Beast.
In her hands, she held a jade volume, emitting a faint white light.
The Fire Tiger Beast was somewhat scornful of the tome in her hands, and did not easily approach the past.
It had been almost a month since she came here.
She had encountered at least two Blood Beasts every day, and had to strain her nerves at all times, not daring to close her eyes for a moment at all. As a result, the injuries to her body, which was already heavily injured, became even more severe.
Almost every day, she was overdrawing her life force.
Here, her powerful spiritual energy, which suffered severe suppression, was no better than an ordinary woman.
If she hadn’t grasped the Ru Ancestor’s Holy Book, I’m afraid that she would have already died in the belly of one of the blood beasts.
However, after holding on for so long, both her body and her spiritual power had reached the brink of collapse.
“Gimme!”
Right at this moment, the light emanating from the Confucian Ancestor Holy Book suddenly disappeared, and the entire world was plunged into darkness.
The Fire Tiger Beast finally waited for the right moment and made a violent leap, rushing above that woman’s head, extending a huge sharp claw and swinging it over.
If she was struck by the claw, her petite and weak body, I’m afraid that it would directly break into two.
Only, just as the Fire Tiger Beast charged towards her, a smirk flashed through those eyes of hers.
In the next moment, a layer of white light once again surfaced from the Ru Ancestor Sacred Book as it stamped towards the Fire Tiger Beast.
“Poof! Puff ……?”In the book, four holy texts flew out in a row, striking the body of the Fire Tiger Beast.
The Fire Tiger Beast wailed and flew backwards, crashing to the ground with a bang.
Its huge body kept convulsing, and blood flowed out from the four bloody holes, causing the surroundings to turn completely blood-red.
Seeing the Fire Tiger Beast die, the woman’s taut nerves were finally able to relax, and at the same time, a sense of weakness spread throughout her body.
She could no longer support herself and collapsed to the ground, and the light above the Ru Ancestor’s Sacred Book completely disappeared.
That strike just now had used up all of her spiritual energy.
However, she still clenched her lips and teeth, biting out fresh blood in an effort to keep herself awake. Once she fainted, with her current physical condition, she would definitely never wake up again.
With great difficulty, she supported her delicate body and crawled to the side of the Fire Tiger Beast’s corpse, leaning on top of the tiger’s skin, finally feeling a trace of warmth.
“Maybe …… really have to die here!”She chanted to herself.
There was a time when she had told herself more than once that she must persevere, saying that not surely, someone would discover the secret of the Endless Abyss and jump down to save her.
However, a whole month had passed, and she hadn’t waited for anyone but a group of blood beasts that wanted to eat her.
“The cultivators of the Kunlun Realm, all of them thought that the Endless Abyss was a death-defying realm where there was no return, and no one at all knew that underneath, there was actually a vast world as well.”
The fact that no one came to her rescue was originally a very normal thing, after all, everyone thought that she had already died. Her heart, therefore, had gradually become open.
For some reason, at this moment, Zhang Ruochen’s figure surfaced in her mind again.
Ever since their initial encounter in the Perishing God Tomb Forest, Zhang Ruochen’s figure had been as if imprinted in her heart, how could it not be erased?
“Who would have thought that the famous Sacred Book Talent Girl would also fall in love with a man at first sight? Who knew that the Sacred Book Talented Lady, whom thousands of talented men had sought the most, would be waiting here in despair to die, and eventually turn into a white bone and a shovelful of yellow earth.”
She gave a self-deprecating smile, a smile that had three parts sweetness, three parts regret, three parts poignancy, and one part regret.
She had never done anything she regretted, and it was only when she was about to die that she had some regrets. Why hadn’t she told Zhang Ruochen about her feelings for him earlier in the beginning?
If she had told him, what kind of expression would he have?
She didn’t think that after she told Zhang Ruochen, there would be any good results between the two of them. One was a felon that the Empress had named to be captured, and the other was a female official beside the Empress, they were originally from two worlds, how could there be a result?
Moreover, she understood Zhang Ruochen.
If any other man knew that he had been favoured by the Sacred Book Talented Lady, he would definitely be quite excited and thrilled, feeling incredibly lucky.
However, Zhang Ruochen would definitely not.
Zhang Ruochen would definitely be quite calm, and there was even a possibility that he would look down on her, thinking that the Sacred Book Talented Lady was only a mundane woman, and that compared to Huang Yichen, she was definitely far behind, and couldn’t be compared to that little saintly maiden of the Demon Sect.
In her current state, even if she hadn’t encountered the Blood Beast, it would actually be very difficult for her to last past tomorrow.
Since this was the case, she would greedily enjoy the last of the tranquillity, and in her mind, thinking about some messy things, her mouth recited a broken sentence, “Perishable Tomb Forest met at the beginning of the day, and once I saw Ruochen, I was mistaken for life.”
