Chapter 1033: Venturing Deep into the Passageway (2/2)

No way! Had his trip been made completely in vain?

Tang Wulin drew to a halt as a hint of hesitation welled up in his heart. Should he continue onward? Blood One hadn't told him not to progress past a certain point; all he had told him was to retreat if he were to encounter any powerful abyssal creatures.

Blood One was clearly far more familiar with the abyssal plane than Tang Wulin was, and he knew that the abyssal passageway would go into a period of recession directly following an abyssal tide. As such, he wasn't overly concerned about Tang Wulin.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Tang Wulin focused his attention and continued onward. He had come all this way already, so he had to at least see an abyssal creature.

As he forged on ahead, the temperature within the abyssal passageway was gradually rising. There were also faint lights shimmering within the passageway, presenting rather strange sights to behold.

Due to the fact that his spiritual power was close to the Spirit Domain realm, Tang Wulin could clearly sense that the number of spatial attribute elemental particles in the air was quickly increasing.

As expected, a passageway that connected two realms was quite a remarkable place.

He wondered how the abyssal plane had managed to connect itself with another plane before trying to invade it.

If the abyssal plane could accomplish this, would the Douluo Continent also be able to do so? The resources on the Douluo Continent were quickly being depleted, and supplies of all types of ores and uncommon metals were constantly dwindling due to excessive mining.

This was why the aggressive parliamentary factions had suggested attacking the two neighboring continents on many occasions. Their objective was very simple; they wanted to pillage more resources.

However, what would happen if all of the resources on the entire Douluo Star were to be exhausted?

During his lessons back at Shrek Academy, Tang Wulin had heard from his teachers that the federation was currently working toward spatial exploration. According to scientific studies, there were countless planets in space, and there had to be some planets that were inhabitable for humans and possessed additional resources. It was just that space exploration was only in the infancy stages of its development, and it would take a long time before it was even possible to search for planets inhabitable to humans.

If these wormhole-like inter-realm passageways could be created at will, then space exploration would undoubtedly become a lot easier.

The spatial elements in the surrounding area became denser and denser, and Tang Wulin's intrigue toward the abyssal plane was also further piqued. His footsteps began to quicken, and the temperatures around him continued to rise. The size of the passageway hadn't changed much, but the spatial fluctuations were becoming more and more pronounced.

Furthermore, Tang Wulin could sense that this passageway was pulsing rhythmically as if it were a blood vessel. This was a very intriguing feeling, and he plunged his Golden Dragon Spear into the ground to sense the nature of the passageway.

There was no energy transferred into his body, which indicated that this passageway itself didn't possess any life force energy.

Could a passageway like this be destroyed?

If this could be achieved, then they wouldn't haven't worry about the abyssal plane ever again. He had to ask Blood One about this later.

Only after truly coming here in person would he be able to gain a better understanding of the abyssal passageway, and even though he still hadn't seen any abyssal creatures, he didn't feel like this was a wasted trip. At the very least, he was able to gain a greater understanding of spatial elements in this place.

The configuration of spatial elements in the abyssal passageway was quite peculiar, and it was beginning to border on the essence of the world, so sensing it was very effective for training his spiritual power.

He continued onward, and the spatial elements within the passageway seemed to have reached a stable state where it was no longer increasing. There seemed to be no end to the passageway, and even as he continued to forge ahead, there was no end in sight. After walking for two full hours, Tang Wulin finally stopped.

His instincts told him that he couldn't keep going. Otherwise, there seemed to be a change that would occur.

There really are no abyssal creatures here!

He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Without abyssal creatures, he wouldn't be able to battle anything or absorb their energy.

However, he was no longer the bullish young child that he was, and he was prioritizing his safety above all else. After all, Gu Yuena was still waiting for him, so he decided to turn back.
