Chapter 130

Find monsters, kill them!

Not only can he complete the quest objective, he can also farm Ninefold Abyss points—killing two birds with one stone.

The Rift of the Abyss is not a barren wasteland.

The terrain even resembles Dragon Abyss Valley—within it are not only mountains and rivers, but also lush jungles and fierce winds everywhere.

The fierce winds can deal damage, yet pose no threat whatsoever to Luo Chenyu.

Starting from the entrance, he conducted a carpet search, determined not to let a single monster slip through.

Upon encountering monsters—

In a flash, he whipped out his greatsword and unleashed a barrage of damage.

Even when ambushed by a massive wave of Dark Elves, with a skyful of arrow rain laced with countless true damage, he was not afraid in the slightest.

【Abyss Demon Realm】 grants lifesteal on attacks, 【Heart of Time and Space】 also has passive health regeneration, and on top of that the recovery from two skills—

His HP had remained at full the entire time.

Unfortunately, his shield was not so sturdy—not only did it fail to stack higher, it was ground down by several million.

"Ranged monsters are really annoying!"

Right now he only has one dash skill; to quickly take out those sneaky lurkers hiding in the dark, he'd have to spend a bit of extra effort.

Originally, Luo Chenyu wanted to burn the entire jungle to the ground.

But ordinary fire had absolutely no effect within the Abyss.

So he could only obediently use several shields for consecutive bombardments.

Time slipped away, bit by bit.

Over two hours passed.

"Ding! You killed Lv. 62 Nightmare normal monster 【Abyss Demon】, gaining 9,800 EXP!"

"Ding! You killed a normal monster, Ninefold Abyss points +2!"

"Ding! You killed Lv. 62 Nightmare normal monster 【Abyss Demon Tiger】, gaining 9,800 EXP!"

"Ding! You killed a normal monster, Ninefold Abyss points +2!"

"Ding! Your level has increased by 1, current level LV. 40!"

"Ding! You have automatically comprehended the 2nd-tier Lv. 40 passive skill 【Blood Qi Fullness】. Since you have already learned a skill of the same type, this skill has been converted into special skill energy and absorbed by 【Goddess of Life's Sanctuary】!"

"Ding! Your skill 【Goddess of Life's Sanctuary】 has absorbed enough skill energy and has leveled up to LV. 4!"

Luo Chenyu: "..."

He hadn't expected that the skill he had been looking forward to comprehending would overlap with 【Blood Rage】 and be converted into special skill energy.

【Goddess of Life's Sanctuary】 got the bargain.

He had never heard of such a bizarre thing—it was very likely a product of his skill's mutation.

No need to comprehend it himself, yet the skill's level still rose.

An ability countless people dream of!

Luo Chenyu was also looking forward to when 【Goddess of Life's Sanctuary】 could undergo a complete metamorphosis.

After two hours of fierce fighting, he had already completed the objective for the 237th Layer.

The speed was incomparable to before.

But now, he could already see the shadow of the Abyss Camp.

In other words...

The final decisive battle of the Rift of the Abyss was about to begin.

Every Fiftieth Layer has a storyline; clearing it guarantees a large haul of Ninefold Abyss points and also unlocks special Exchange Items.

"Let's go!!"

………………

At the entrance of 【Ninefold Abyss】.

Many of the onlooking crowd had already returned to Mount Huilong city—if they waited until dark... even with so many big-shots present, the dangers of night would still be everywhere.

But... there are always some people who aren't afraid of death.

For instance, those reporters.

And those university admissions teachers.

As well as some genuine onlookers...

They all wanted to witness the final outcome—whether Luo Chenyu would emerge from 【Ninefold Abyss】, or perish within it.

"Old Xu, you should head back too. With me here, I guarantee he'll be fine!"

An Chen, who had no idea where he'd gotten a stool from, sat down with an air of swagger and looked toward the white-haired old man beside him.

Old Xu stared deeply at the red dot within the vortex.

He nodded and said, "Indeed, I can head back. Staying here would only make things worse."

"Hahaha, you really do know your limits!"

An Chen smiled faintly and said softly, "Perhaps tomorrow, we can finally get a good night's sleep."

"A good night's sleep... we've never once had a good night's sleep!"

Old Xu's gaze slid sideways toward the black-clad middle-aged man beside Wang Ziquan in the distance, and said, "The northern warfront is stretched thin, the higher-ups no longer have the spare strength to look after small cities like ours, so everything depends on us."

"If Yin Man gets elected as mayor, Longshan city is done for."

"Don't worry... I've already arranged that matter. However... that kid Luo Chenyu..."

"He can only suffer some grievances for now. Once things are over, we'll do our best to make it up to him."

"Go on, stay safe on the road."

Anchen stood up and looked at the person beside him, saying, "Zhilin, see Old Xu off."

"No need… uh, then I'll trouble Teacher Yu."

Old Xu stood up and left, and the Soundproof Barrier dissipated along with him.

The other side.

The black-clad middle-aged man saw Old Xu rise and leave, and a faint, barely noticeable smile flashed through his eyes.

Immediately, he also stood up and said to Wang Ziquan, "I'm heading back first. Keep order here."

Wang Ziquan caught a glimpse of Old Xu's retreating back and laughed, "Don't worry, Uncle Yin. My dad brought every combat personnel from the entire Maoxiangong Society. Guaranteed nothing will go wrong."

"Heh heh…"

Yin Man nodded toward Wang Meng not far away, then led his people away.

A sweltering afternoon.

The sky seemed to be filled with clump after clump of dark clouds, shrouding the entire Longshan city within them.

………………

【Ninefold Abyss】.

Luo Chenyu stood in the jungle, gazing at the heavily garrisoned abyss camp in the distance.

"Wait for someone?"

After only a moment's thought, he abandoned the idea in his heart.

The 140th Layer objective: assist the expeditionary army in breaking through the gates of the abyss Vanguard Commander camp.

Assist?

Isn't that just telling him to slack off and freeload?

He isn't some weakling!

A real man has to be fierce!

If I'm not fierce, how do I grind Ninefold Abyss points, how do I covet the ultimate divine artifact!

Luo Chenyu left the jungle, shouldering a great dark sword, and slowly walked toward the abyss camp.

A defense warrior who's been debuting for two and a half days, charging out in full force!

"Beep beep beep beep!!"

A strange alarm blared, and countless dark elf archers appeared atop the camp's crude stone walls, raising their bows and arrows, pointing at the approaching enemy from afar.

The black ground before the great gate began to surge like a tide, and countless small black demons crawled out from within, standing in strict formation to await the enemy.

Afterward.

A rumbling sound rang out, and two enormous, ugly heads emerged from within the stone walls…

In just an instant.
