Chapter 74: At the Bottom of the Abyss, Blood-Stained Chains

Han Yu continuously unleashed Spirit techniques and martial arts to shatter the law-based powers of the Jue Ling Zhi Di, and a wide passage between the two realms gradually took shape.

A steady stream of Lingling and air poured into the passage; the Jue Ling Zhi Di, which once made ordinary cultivators shrink back, now had a passage that could be safely traversed.

Seeing this scene, the Profound Sword Venerable was truly convinced.

Before Han Yu could even speak, he took the initiative to hand over his Life Soul.

"This old one pays respects to my Master!"

The Profound Sword Venerable no longer cared about the demeanor of a powerhouse.

He was convinced by Han Yu's methods from the bottom of his heart; the other party looked very young yet possessed such means, so he must have an extraordinary background.

If he were to remain stubborn and unconvinced now, he would only be bringing trouble upon himself.

Regarding the Profound Sword Venerable's submission, Han Yu did not have much of an emotional fluctuation.

However, he also knew that after he entered the Wangjing Zhanchang, having a Venerable sitting in command would be of great benefit to Xiao Yuyao and the others.

"So, the entire Xuanzhou is your territory now, is it?"

Han Yu asked.

The Profound Sword Venerable nodded, then immediately added.

"No, no, no, Xuanzhou is now your territory, Master; everything this old one has is yours!"

Han Yu's mouth twitched, secretly thinking that this old fellow was truly shrewd and possessed such high emotional intelligence in his speech.

He was too lazy to be overly polite with the Profound Sword Venerable and directly ordered him to take the National Destiny Jade Seal of Qingzhou and head to the Great Yan Dynasty.

As long as the dragon veins and national destiny of the two provinces were connected, he believed it would surely add bricks and mortar to Ji Yanling's cultivation speed.

After the Profound Sword Venerable left, Han Yu looked toward the pitch-black Jue Ling Zhi Di.

Beneath that dark abyss, there seemed to be something.

Han Yu had already sensed it when he opened the passage between the two provinces just now.

He prepared to go down and take a look!

Han Yu sat cross-legged between the two provincial passages and took a deep gulp of fine wine from his Universe Gourd; the Lingling and blood energy he had just consumed were rapidly replenished.

The Universe Gourd contained a small world of its own; Han Yu's Green Lotus Immortal Sword and the fine wine he collected were constantly nourished within it, and drinking it could quickly restore his state.

Under the enhancement of the fine wine, Han Yu's state quickly returned to its peak.

He no longer hesitated, immediately activated his Heaven-Human Dharma Form, and then dove toward the dark abyss.

Boom, boom, boom—

The Blood Demon Heaven-Shaking Fist and Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin were unleashed continuously; blood demon heads and Spirit Swords struck rapidly, and the law-based powers of the dark abyss were annihilated one after another.

Han Yu was like a drilling machine, delving deep into the dark abyss of the Jue Ling Zhi Di.

To his surprise, once the law-based powers on the surface of the Jue Ling Zhi Di were shattered, it took a long time for them to be replenished.

However, in that rift-like abyss, once the law-based powers were annihilated, they would surge toward the empty space like a tide.

Furthermore, those law-based powers were becoming increasingly strong; at this moment, Han Yu felt as if he were diving into the deep sea, and the deeper he went, the greater the pressure he felt.

Han Yu's consumption rate became faster and faster, and the frequency at which he drank wine to replenish his state became higher and higher.

Not knowing how much time had passed, Han Yu used his Divine Sense to scan the remaining fine wine in the Universe Gourd.

"I cannot continue any further, otherwise I will definitely be unable to return!"

Han Yu looked at the dark abyss that seemed to have no end, a hint of regret appearing in his eyes; just as he was about to turn back, a voice actually came from within the dark abyss.

"Save me, save me..."

This voice was transmitted via Divine Sense, filled with an infinitely desolate emotion.

"Who are you?"

Han Yu tried to transmit his own thoughts using Divine Sense, but as soon as his Divine Sense left his Dharma Form, it was annihilated by the omnipresent Jue Ling laws in the surroundings.

Seeing this, Han Yu's heart stirred.

"The fact that the voice just now could be transmitted under the shroud of the laws means the entity that made the sound must be extraordinarily powerful, but why would such an existence be trapped here?"

"Could it be that there is something even more terrifying down below?"

Han Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.

He knew he could not continue exploring, or he would definitely encounter immeasurable danger.

However, Han Yu still wanted to try; he immediately mobilized the Noble Righteous Spirit within his body, as this thing was very useful in the Land of Absolute Spirit.

The laws of this Jue Ling Zhi Di not only had super destructive power against Lingling, but neither Divine Sense nor blood energy could be sustained for long.

Only Han Yu's Noble Righteous Spirit showed almost no signs of being destroyed under the shroud of these laws.

However, if Han Yu only used Noble Righteous Spirit, his movement speed in this Land of Absolute Spirit would be very slow.

It was fine on the surface of the Jue Ling Zhi Di, but in this dark abyss, it was almost impossible to move an inch.

But now, Han Yu was determined to use the Noble Righteous Spirit to transmit some information.

He first unleashed a strand of Divine Sense containing his voice, then wrapped it layer by layer with spiritual energy and blood energy, and finally wrapped it in Noble Righteous Spirit, smashing it abruptly toward the deeper parts of the abyss.

The Divine Sense wrapped in Noble Righteous Spirit fell downward, and after an unknown amount of time, Han Yu received no response.

"Forget it, I should leave first."

He activated his Heaven-Human Dharma Form, took a drink of wine, and flew upward.

What Han Yu did not know was that the Divine Sense wrapped in Noble Righteous Spirit fell like a stone into a perfectly calm water surface.

Ripples spread out, and at the very bottom of the dark abyss, a figure with countless chains piercing through their body floated in mid-air, on the verge of death.

This figure was riddled with holes, and it was no longer possible to tell if it was male or female.

But from the aura remaining on the other party, one could judge that this was no ordinary living being.

"Save me..."

They murmured continuously, their Divine Sense wrapping the sound as it overflowed from their body, floating upward like bubbles.

It seemed to be an unconscious whisper to itself; it did not expect to receive a reply.

But just at this moment, it seemed to sense something, and the head that had been lowered suddenly snapped upward.

Within its gaze, an object wrapped in special energy appeared.

"This is... Noble Righteous Spirit?"

It immediately punctured that object, and the blood energy and Divine Sense contained within were all accepted by it.

"Noble Righteous Spirit, to think it is such pure Noble Righteous Spirit!"

"Not good, you cannot be discovered, you cannot be discovered!"

"Hide yourself well, you must hide yourself well!"

Within the dead, silent eyes of that figure, a dense light suddenly erupted.

Like a candle flickering in the wind, it suddenly burst forth with intense radiance, and a stream of light traced the origin toward the direction where the Noble Righteous Spirit had fallen.

When this stream of light shot out, the chains that had been motionless seemed to come alive, chasing after the stream of light like hideous venomous snakes.

"Stop, stop for me!"

That body, which looked riddled with holes, suddenly erupted with endless power, actually forcibly dragging back those chasing chains.

It was a pity that it did not last long; the power within this figure's body seemed to have been exhausted.

All the chains immediately surged out one after another, chasing after that stream of light.

However, thanks to this buffer of time, that stream of Divine Sense light had opened up some distance.

Both sides, one chasing and one fleeing, rushed continuously toward the top of the abyss.

Through Divine Sense perception, the figure at the bottom of the abyss seemed to see a figure in white appear in its field of vision.

Swish—

It felt its own Divine Sense being grasped by that figure.

Somewhere in the abyss, Han Yu received this wisp of Divine Sense, and many fragmented images and sounds rushed into his mind.

"Severing of Heaven and Earth! Divine Punisher! Wujian Diyu!"

Han Yu's heart jolted; his mind was flooded with a massive amount of information, causing him to be momentarily dazed, and then he seemed to think of something, his heart suddenly trembling.

"Run!"

Han Yu frantically poured wine into his mouth, desperately driving his Heaven-Man Dharma Form, and even his Wine Sword Immortal Body and Green Lotus Immortal Sword were immediately activated; he unleashed his full strength without reservation, rushing toward the outside of the abyss.

Behind him, countless blood-stained chains carrying bone-chilling cold pursued him; each one was as massive as a mountain range, and at the head of each chain were sharp hooks.

Han Yu could sense that if he were pierced by these hooks, his body, mind, and soul would be locked away forever, never to be reincarnated for all eternity!

At this moment, he was using his strength without reservation, fighting for his life to shatter the power of the laws blocking his path, yet even so, those blood-stained chains were getting closer and closer to him.

Until finally, they were only an inch away, and it looked as if Han Yu was about to be grabbed by those sharp hooks.

At this moment, Han Yu fully felt the crisis of death; it seemed that in this instant, he had already been dragged into Wujian Diyu, enduring endless torture.

But just at this split second, the blood-stained chains suddenly stalled, frozen in mid-air.

It turned out that at the most critical moment, he had finally reached the surface area of the Jue Ling Zhi Di, escaping the range of the abyss.

Han Yu let out a heavy sigh of relief, his eyes still filled with intense terror.

Thinking of the information contained in that Divine Sense just now, his expression immediately turned grave.

"If that is true, this truly is a terrifying world!"
