Chapter 515: Chapter 472: Abyss_1

In the depths of the ocean, far beyond the Outer Sea, where even the Sea Race seldom ventures, it was pitch black, filled with surging undercurrents.

One day, a man and a woman arrived here through the turbulent currents.

“This is the most dangerous part of the deep sea!” Ming Ling Yulan pointed to a place resembling a sky pit in the distance and said quietly.

This sky pit, located in the depths of the sea, is referred to as the Abyss by the Sea Race.

It is said that one could reach the Earth’s core through this abyss, making contact with the legendary Heart of the Earth.

No one has ever made it, even less so brought back any credible evidence, so it remains a legend.

The only thing known about the abyss is that the gravity inside is different from the outside world. The deeper one goes, the gravity becomes stronger, so intense that not even those at the Divinity Transformation Stage could reach the end.

And yet, Xu Mu, for some reason, told her that he wanted to venture into this place that all Sea Race avoided like the plague.

Ming Ling Yulan couldn’t care less whether he would encounter any danger inside or if she would become a widow.

She’d rather he died; then she could regain her freedom. She truly didn’t enjoy living among humans.

“You should go back. There’s no need for you to wait for me here,”

Xu Mu said without turning his head, looking at the entrance to the abyss.

Ming Ling Yulan didn’t hesitate. She turned around and started leaving, but after a few steps, she couldn’t help but stop.

“Are you really going in?”

“What, are you going to miss me?” Xu Mu turned back and smiled at her.

Their union was purely political; there was no love, only some resentment.

“As if I would miss you! I just don’t want to break the agreement!”

Having said this, she left without any further delay, disappearing into the dark waters in a blink.

Xu Mu turned back to the abyss entrance, which was even darker than the seawater, and hesitated.

He had heard many rumors and collected numerous information about the abyss, aware of its terror.

Nevertheless, it was precisely because of this information that he was compelled to enter it.

Not because of excessive curiosity, nor was there any treasure inside he had to seek. He chose to enter because of the abyss itself.

Although he had already formed an alliance with the Sea Race, the danger was far from over.

The Cluster Stars Sect had not made any moves, and no one knew what they were planning. The only thing that was certain was that they would never let Xu Mu live comfortably.

Xu Mu refused to sit and wait for death, to put himself in a passive position. He wanted to enhance his power as much as possible before the other party made their move.

He had just advanced to the late-stage Nascent Soul. It was unlikely for him to make significant improvements in a short amount of time. The same applied to his magical treasures. After considering all other options, the only area with potential for a significant breakthrough was his physical body.

Back in the Xuan Yang Secret Realm, his physical body had already reached the late-stage Nascent Soul. He wasn’t far from making further progress.

Beyond that would be the Divinity Transformation realm.

Although his Martial Methods were a bit peculiar and he wouldn’t fully possess the power of the Divinity Transformation Stage even when he reached that level,

if he could improve in other aspects, his strength would likely not be much weaker than that of a true cultivator at the Divinity Transformation Stage.

At least it was a direction for rapid enhancement of his strength.

But reaching the Divinity Transformation Stage physically was easier said than done.

Despite trying numerous methods, it was difficult to make significant progress in his physical transformation in a short amount of time.

Later, when he unintentionally learned about the existence of the abyss, he decided to take a risk and try it out. If the rumors were true, then this place would undoubtedly be an excellent place for cultivation, and could significantly strengthen his physical body in a short amount of time.

If the rumors were false, though, the danger was overwhelming.

Over millions of years, countless people had entered it. Among thousands, no one had come out alive.

“Fortune favors the bold; at least, I have a certain degree of resistance.”
