CHAPTER 479: CHAPTER 478: START_1

Around the Bottomless Demon Abyss, all eyes converged on Ling Chen. He appeared harmless, but the memory of his fierce, wolf-like gaze in the Sky Demon Tower sent shivers down their spines. As the involved parties calmed down, the previously tense atmosphere gradually eased. Then, all eyes shifted once more, staring intently into the depths of the Bottomless Demon Abyss. There, Devil Qi churned and surged, as if several Demon Dragons were leaping within it.

In the very center of the Devil’s Abyss, a massive vortex appeared. As the vortex expanded, the gazes fixed on the Bottomless Demon Abyss grew fervent.

"The Bottomless Demon Abyss is about to open..."

Excited cries spread in an instant, and the entire surrounding space erupted with activity. The dense, dark sea of people surged, desperately pushing towards the front.

As the black vortex expanded, Ling Chen opened his eyes. He gazed at the rather frenzied scene before him with some astonishment, his heart filled with awe. This Bottomless Demon Abyss... I wonder what place it connects to? It’s so terrifying that even a Top Sky Apex Strong would seem frail before its power.

"There’s nothing to be surprised about. When you step out of this small Five Country Territory in the future, you will realize that the world you see is merely the tip of the iceberg of the Tianyuan Continent..." At that moment, the Human Emperor’s faint voice resonated in Ling Chen’s mind.

Ling Chen neither agreed nor disagreed. In his current view, the Five Country Territory alone was already vast. As for the even more immense and endless Tianyuan Continent, it felt far too unfamiliar to him.

"After entering this Bottomless Demon Abyss, be careful. These Devil’s Abysses were left over from the ancient wars between Heaven and Earth. Later, many Demon Way Experts exploited them, making them hiding places for Evil Spirits. Even though they have now fallen into decay, they are inevitably still fraught with peril. Don’t end up losing your life without even obtaining any treasures."

"Mm!"

Even if the Human Emperor hadn’t mentioned it, Ling Chen understood. The Sky Demon Tower he had experienced before posed significant danger, let alone this even grander, more boundless, and inscrutable Bottomless Demon Abyss. Moreover, he had offended numerous people. The people from Skypiercing Peak, as well as the Green-faced Demon Sect, the Tiger Demon Sect, and other Ninth Layer Great Masters affiliated with Skypiercing Peak, all wished to tear him into pieces. The slightest carelessness could cost him his life; that was only to be expected.

While Ling Chen and the Human Emperor conversed, the vortex continued to grow larger. Approximately ten minutes later, the black vortex finally expanded to dozens of meters wide...

The vortex spun, tyrannically dragging in all the surrounding air. At the vortex’s end, darkness and an icy chill permeated, evoking a profound sense of mystery.

"The Bottomless Demon Abyss has finally opened."

Many eyes ignited with a crimson gleam, and their breathing became rapid. The Bottomless Demon Abyss was a place where danger and opportunity coexisted. Seeking treasure amidst danger was exactly what appealed to Demonic Path Followers.

The Bottomless Demon Abyss only opened once every few years; for these Demon Way Experts, this was a once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity for improvement.

"Let’s go!"

Hovering in mid-air, Xie Zhiqiu stared at the black vortex, then suddenly gestured and took the lead. His figure carved an arc through the air as he shot towards the vortex like a bolt of lightning. Behind him, the experts from the Skypiercing Peak Lineage hurriedly followed.

Following Xie Zhiqiu and the others, the remaining major Demonic Sect forces all charged out at the same time, rushing into the black vortex.

SWOOSH!

Seeing that someone had taken the lead, the situation immediately erupted into chaos. The dense, dark sea of people surged forth, their black shadows like locusts obscuring the sky, then frenziedly charged towards the black vortex.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

However, it was evident that entering the Bottomless Demon Abyss had certain strength requirements. Thus, not long after countless figures plunged into the black vortex, many were flung back out, landing wretchedly on the ground as if spat out by the vortex.

"Let’s go, it’s time for us to move!"

Watching the numerous forces continuously flowing into the Bottomless Demon Abyss, Ling Chen also stood up from a rock he had been sitting on, preparing to enter the vortex.

"Ling Chen, take this first."

Just as Ling Chen was about to move, Xia Yunxin suddenly produced a bottle of elixir and handed it to him. "This contains the Demon-Repelling Pill. After taking it, you can move more conveniently within the Bottomless Demon Abyss."

Ling Chen took the elixir and swallowed it. Even though he had the protection of his Sword Intent, which resisted all evil, it was still better to be cautious when entering such an unknown, perilous place.

Then, Ling Chen’s figure flickered, transforming into a streak of light that shot straight into the large vortex of the Bottomless Demon Abyss.

The moment he entered the vortex, Ling Chen could clearly feel a repulsive force surging against him. This must be the ultimate reason those unlucky fellows were ejected.

This repulsive force was not weak. According to Ling Chen’s estimate, as long as one’s strength reached the Great Master Realm, they should be able to barely enter. This obviously posed no obstacle for Ling Chen. So, with a slight tremor of his body, a surge of True Qi erupted, easily dissipating the repulsive force.

After dispelling the repulsive force, Ling Chen’s speed increased sharply. Allowing the suction force within the vortex to pull him, his body plummeted rapidly downwards.

This descent lasted for several minutes. As his body fell further, the demonic fog at the bottom of the Bottomless Demon Abyss seemed to have thickened to a certain degree. Ling Chen felt as if his body had fallen into water, into a vast ocean, and he could no longer find his bearings.

Cold, gloomy storms continuously swept through this Devil’s Abyss. After a good ten minutes or more, Ling Chen finally landed on the ground.

The vast and desolate land was silent. An ancient, time-worn aura permeated from the earth, suffusing the entire space with a sense of desolation.

Above, Demon Clouds roiled. Ling Chen could also see an opening that had split in the cloud layer not far away, from which figures were constantly descending.

This place, at this moment, was a testament to nature’s incredible, divine artistry.

Ling Chen’s figure descended from the sky. Gazing at the vast expanse that stretched beyond sight, his eyes filled with awe. The sheer scale of the scene was truly unbelievable.

This must be the bottom of the Bottomless Demon Abyss.

However, the surrounding terrain was pitted and uneven, with caves, abysses, and crevices everywhere constantly spewing black air. Clearly, this was not the true depths of the Bottomless Demon Abyss. If one were to venture further, it should be possible to descend into even deeper regions.
