Chapter 296: Chapter 296: Finally Meeting the Abyssal Master
Yang Xiaotian took a deep breath and pushed the Primordial Dragon Art to its limit, boosting his Dragon Emperor’s Body defense to the fullest. His body was covered in dragon scales, and behind him, the hundred-yard-long True Dragon Wings unfurled as he leaped down.
Although he knew that his Dragon Emperor’s Body was virtually useless in the eyes of an existence like the Abyssal Master, he figured having an extra layer of defense was always good.
Now that Yang Xiaotian had broken through to the Martial Emperor Realm, he could fly without relying on the Supreme Divine Power, Skywalking Thousand Swords.
The moment he stepped into the Hell Abyss, boundless Blackglow Cold Energy surged towards him like a tsunami.
It struck the Golden Light Shield, resounding with continuous thunderous impacts.
Had it not been for the Golden Light Shield, that hit just now would have probably sent Yang Xiaotian flying back up.
Yang Xiaotian carefully continued to descend.
Darkness rolled and churned.
The cold was piercing.
The cold of the abyss was no less intense than the Blackglow Cold Energy in the Thousand Buddha Medicine God’s dwelling.
And with the cold seeping into every crevice, Yang Xiaotian had no choice but to summon the Earth Flame.
With the summoning of the Earth Flame, the light brightened considerably around him.
However, even the number one Abnormal Fire, Earth Flame, could only illuminate a hundred meters around him.
Beyond a hundred meters, darkness still prevailed.
The deeper he fell into the abyss, the more silent it became, so quiet that one couldn’t hear any sound at all—not even the wind, which seemed to disappear in this place.
Outside the abyss, the roars of Soul Beasts were incessant, but upon entering the abyss, even the roars of Soul Beasts vanished.
Here, it seemed that an invisible force was blocking all sounds from the outside world.
The further down he went, the more tense Yang Xiaotian became.
Time stretched on.
After sinking for roughly ten minutes, he still couldn’t see the bottom.
With no contact with the sky above or the ground below, Yang Xiaotian felt like he was completely engulfed in an endless dark morass.
Suddenly, a resonant sound emerged from the bottom of the abyss.
It was like tens of thousands of divine thunders exploding, and the entire abyss quaked endlessly.
Yang Xiaotian’s mind buzzed from the blast, and he was greatly shocked—what was that sound?
Could it be?
“Indeed, that is its snoring sound,” came Medicine Cauldron’s voice.
The snoring of the Abyssal Master!
One snore was like tens of thousands of divine thunders detonating.
Yang Xiaotian’s hair stood on end.
That was just too formidable.
Fortunately, after one snore, there was no second snore.
The abyss once again returned to a deathly silence.
Yang Xiaotian continued downward.
After an indeterminate amount of time, at last, he saw the ground.
When his feet touched the ground, it was dry and firm.
Yang Xiaotian hadn’t walked far before he spotted a pile of bones in the distance. Upon closer inspection, he saw that the bones were emanating an astonishing divinity.
“These are the remains of a Divine Spirit!” Yang Xiaotian’s heart leapt.
This was his first time seeing the bones of a Divine Spirit Powerhouse.
Divine Spirit Powerhouses were supremely exalted in the Azure God Continent, and now, seeing the remains of one up close was immensely shocking.
Beside the Divine Spirit’s remains, he found a divine grade longsword.
But the divine grade longsword was broken.
Broken into three pieces, scattered beside the remains.
The Divine Artifact was indestructible; even a Divine Spirit Powerhouse couldn’t possibly shatter it with crazy bombardments, yet now, this Divine Artifact longsword lay broken here.
Not far from the longsword, Yang Xiaotian also discovered a Space Ring.
Seeing this Space Ring, Yang Xiaotian’s heart began to race.
Without a doubt, this was the Space Ring of that Divine Spirit Powerhouse.
Yang Xiaotian picked up the Space Ring and opened it to look inside, only to see it filled with various Spirit Stones, nearly all of them of high quality. Besides the high-quality Spirit Stones, there were also many Alchemy Materials.
Besides these, there were also numerous Secret Tomes and Cultivation Techniques.
Yang Xiaotian took both the Space Ring and the broken sword and then began to search for the Abyssal Master.
However, after half a day, Yang Xiaotian had searched every nook and cranny at the bottom of the Abyss, but he still hadn’t found any trace of the Abyssal Master.
Instead, he found fifteen Divine Spirit skeletons.
Clearly, these Divine Spirits had been the Divine Spirit Powerhouses who had entered with the Master of Buddha Source.
Just as Yang Xiaotian was puzzling over where the Abyssal Master could be hiding, suddenly, the ground beneath his feet began to shake violently.
No, not just beneath his feet— the entire ground of the Abyss was trembling.
It was as if some super-terrifying creature was about to emerge from the depths of the earth.
The ground began to crack at an alarming rate.
It wasn’t just one area that was cracking, but every corner of the ground.
Suddenly, the ground beneath Yang Xiaotian began to bulge upwards!
Yang Xiaotian’s face changed, and he quickly unfolded his True Dragon Wings to fly upwards.
As Yang Xiaotian continued to rise, the ground kept bulging upwards, as though no matter how high he flew, the ground would bulge just as high!
As the ground kept rising, an unimaginably colossal black creature appeared in front of Yang Xiaotian.
This black creature, enveloped in rolling dark energy, had two eyes like vast blood-red lakes.
As it stood up, it blotted out the sky, as if it were about to burst the entirety of the Hell Abyss.
The Hell Abyss was vast, and Yang Xiaotian knew this well; he flew for half a day just to cross it once, but now, as this colossal black creature stood up, the Hell Abyss seemed incredibly narrow.
Yang Xiaotian looked at the Abyssal Master in front of him, which was spewing endless black energy, almost filling the entire Hell Abyss, and was horrified.
Motherfucker!
It’s so huge!
No wonder he couldn’t find the Abyssal Master earlier.
The entire Hell Abyss turned out to be the Abyssal Master.
The ground he had been walking on was the back of the Abyssal Master, or perhaps even its buttocks.
Thinking that he might have been stepping on its rear, Yang Xiaotian’s feet began to tingle.
Finally, the Abyssal Master fully stood up.
Looking at the Abyssal Master, Yang Xiaotian thought of the Azure Thunder Python and the Iceflame Qilin.
Old Bing and Old Meng were big enough, but compared to this Abyssal Master, they were like little chicks.
The Abyssal Master’s two blood-red eyes stared at Yang Xiaotian, giving a creepy feeling as it spoke, “Little guy, are you looking for me?”
Earlier, its snoring was like millions of divine thunders exploding; now, as it spoke, it wasn’t just millions of divine thunders; the entire Abyss resonated, the echo lingering on and on.
“Indeed, I am looking for you!” Yang Xiaotian said, trying to remain calm.
“Looking for me, what for?” the Abyssal Master continued to stare at Yang Xiaotian, puzzled as to how he had got in.
“To kill you!” Yang Xiaotian took a deep breath and slowly said, “To absorb your Beast Soul and condense a million-year Soul Ring!”
The Abyssal Master paused for a moment, then burst into laughter. Its laughter shook the Abyss tumultuously while rocks fell like rain from the high cliffs surrounding the Abyss.
“Little guy, you want to kill me?” the Abyssal Master laughed, “Do you know how long I have lived? I have lived for nearly two million years! This is the first time I’ve heard someone say they want to kill me, to absorb my Beast Soul!”
It did not get angry but chuckled, “You’ve got guts, little guy. How about this, I won’t kill you either. I’m very bored here in this Hell Abyss, so why don’t you stay here with me at the bottom of the Abyss?”
As for how long to accompany, of course, until the day it ascended to the Nine Heavens.
Just as it finished speaking, Yang Xiaotian shouted, “Master Ding!”
