Protagonist:
Xu Zhangqing
Xu Zhangqing drove the Tai Yi Green Lotus Seat, speeding through the skies of the Central Region.
As the distance to the Immortal Falling Abyss grew closer, the surrounding atmosphere became increasingly strange.
The originally mellow Spiritual Energy gradually thinned, replaced by a fishy smell.
The mountains and forests along the way grew increasingly desolate, human voices rarely heard, only successive roars rising and falling.
Before long, a situation appeared ahead.
Only to see over a hundred demons besieging three Hunting Demon Teams.
The demon horde was of mixed types.
There were wolf demons covered in green fur with exposed tusks.
There were bear demons massive in size, their whole bodies covered in black armor.
There were also bone-winged bat demons with wingspans of ten-odd zhang, their shrill cries piercing the ears.
Each and every one revealed fierce light in their eyes, their whole bodies emitting a ruthless aura.
The ground was stained red with blood, damaged Magic Tools scattered everywhere, several cultivator corpses lay on the ground, the scene too miserable to behold.
"Demons from elsewhere, how did they run to the Immortal Falling Abyss?"
"The situation is wrong, must send someone to notify the Outpost!"
"Everyone hold on!"
The three Hunting Demon Teams added up to barely twenty people, and moreover most of them were already injured, the Magic Tools in their hands even more covered in cracks.
"Roar—!"
At this moment, a deafening roar came from behind the demon horde, immediately followed by a black-armored bear demon whose body type far surpassed its kind stepping out slowly.
It stood a full five zhang tall, its whole body black armor gleaming with cold metallic light.
Its eyes blood-red, a ferocious scar also growing on its spine.
It was the leader of this demon horde, named Black Armor Bear King.
The Black Armor Bear King glanced at the trapped Hunting Demon Teams, its eyes full of disdain, then shifted its gaze past the crowd, landing on Xu Zhangqing who was speeding over.
Seeing he was alone, though driving the Tai Yi Green Lotus Seat, the Spiritual Energy around his body was not intense, instead exuding a gentle warm aura, not like a cultivator who hunts demons year-round.
Instantly, a trace of greed and contempt flashed in the Black Armor Bear King's eyes.
In its view, this was merely a lone traveling Loose Cultivator.
Even with a decent flying Magic Treasure, his strength might not be formidable, just right to capture, drain the other's Spiritual Energy, strengthen its own Dao Xing.
"Roar!"
The Black Armor Bear King roared again, then leaped up, its massive body drawing a black arc in mid-air, carrying a fierce fishy wind, pouncing viciously toward Xu Zhangqing.
"Bad!"
"This Bear Demon King's Dao Xing is extremely high, its strength not to be underestimated!"
"That Dao Friend is alone, afraid he will meet with disaster!"
The Hunting Demon Team members seeing this, all revealed expressions of horror.
Wanted to act, but were entangled by the surrounding demon horde.
Just as the Black Armor Bear King was about to rush to the front, Xu Zhangqing's expression was calm, he did not move once, merely raised his head and glanced at this beast.
This glance was ordinary, neither containing a fierce attack nor releasing a formidable pressure, yet the Black Armor Bear King seemed struck by lightning, its swiftly pouncing body suddenly freezing in mid-air, its blood-red eyes abruptly losing their luster.
The Demon Qi all over its body, like a stream cut off, came to an abrupt halt.
The next second, the Black Armor Bear King's massive body lost support, like a kite with its string cut, plummeting straight toward the ground, "Boom—" smashing onto the ground, stirring up vast dust and gravel.
Those blood-red eyes, at this moment still staring wide round, yet only endless fear remained.
This scene instantly plunged the battlefield into dead silence.
The demon horde besieging the Hunting Demon Teams, like stray dogs, frightened into scattering and fleeing.
If they didn't see wrong, their King, by that seemingly gentle cultivator, with a single glance was instantly killed.
And the Hunting Demon Team members, at this moment even more stared with wide eyes and gaping mouths.
Everyone opened their mouths wide, gazes fixed tightly on that green flowing light, eyes full of shock.
The Black Armor Bear King who was still unrivaled a moment ago, was actually by this mysterious Immortal Master, with just a single glance, instantly killed?
Such strength, simply unfathomable!
"This... what is going on?"
"With just a single glance, instantly killed a thousand-year Dao Xing Demon King?"
"Fortunately this Immortal Master passed by, otherwise we would all be buried in demon bellies today!"
Everyone bowed in salute toward the direction Xu Zhangqing departed.
For this, Xu Zhangqing neither stopped, nor glanced down once more.
As if what he just instantly killed was not a thousand-year Demon King, but an insignificant ant.
The Tai Yi Green Lotus Seat sped up, green flowing light tearing across the horizon, in a flash passing over this battlefield, soon disappearing into the distance.
Rushing like this for a period of time, finally approached the Immortal Falling Abyss.
The further forward, the stranger the surrounding environment.
The Spiritual Energy in the air thinned to the extreme, almost impossible to sense.
Replacing it was thick, unyielding Yin-Evil Qi and decaying Qi.
Xu Zhangqing had barely inhaled once before he felt his spiritual power turn sluggish throughout his body.
The originally clear sky was now shrouded by heavy gray miasma clouds, the light dim, not even the Sun visible.
Heaven and Earth were dead silent, only the wailing of wind through ruined mountains and forests, enough to make one's heart crawl.
Xu Zhangqing stopped the Tai Yi Green Lotus Seat, his whole person suspended in mid-air, then gazed into the distance: "So this is the Immortal Falling Abyss?"
Truly living up to its name—just the Outer Perimeter has such thick Yin-Evil and decaying Qi!"
It is said that the Immortal Falling Abyss is divided into three regions.
From outside to inside, it grows increasingly dangerous.
The outermost region is the Corroding Bone Forest Sea.
This region was once a spiritually beautiful mountain forest, lush vegetation, abundant Spiritual Energy.
But now, it has been polluted by substances seeping out from within the Immortal Falling Abyss, becoming unrecognizable.
Even the trees are twisted into terrifying postures, branches gnarled like reaching ghost claws, bark pitch-black and cracked, oozing dark red juice like blood.
On the ground, ruined weapons are stuck everywhere.
There are longswords used by cultivators, and sharp claws of demons.
There are also several huge skeletons, unknown whether left by Spirit Beasts or demons, their sturdy bones covered in shocking cracks.
Passing through the Corroding Bone Forest Sea leads to the second region of the Immortal Falling Abyss, named Funeral Path Wilderness.
It is a dead silent Chenjiang Plain, not a trace of vitality visible, the ground covered in dense cracks, each bottomless.
From the cracks, poisonous miasma is endlessly exhaled.
The poisonous miasma fills the air, intertwining with the gray miasma clouds; once too much is inhaled, even a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator will suffer Divine Soul damage and a great drop in cultivation.
Yet no matter how dangerous, large numbers of Hunting Demon Teams still go there.
There, huge shattered lands and Palace remains float, though they have lost their complete form, are covered in cracks, mostly ruined beyond repair, they contain Spiritual Treasures from the Ancient Period, driving countless people to rush toward them like moths to a flame.
But if speaking of the most dangerous place, it is actually the third region, the Yinxian Heavenly Pit located in the center.
It is a pitch-black Heavenly Pit with a diameter of several hundred li, its edges as neatly cut as if by a blade.
The pit walls are not ordinary rock, but formed from condensed resentment and shattered laws gathered together, smooth on the surface, yet emitting a Yin cold aura that makes even the Divine Soul tremble.
Inside the pit there is not a trace of light, only pure Darkness.
At the pit bottom, endless hair-raising howls and suction constantly emanate.
As if to suck everything into endless Darkness, never to be reborn for eternity!
