Chapter 836: Chapter 525: Beneath the Abyss for Tens of Thousands of Meters, Deadly Peril! (Double-Length)

The moment he spread out his awareness, it was evidently influenced by the will of the Star-Devouring Dragon, almost causing him to act foolishly like the other Abyssal Beasts here.

The Sealing Array could entrap the Star-Devouring Dragon’s body, but couldn’t completely lock up its will—this was the crux of the problem.

Apparently sensing that Song Changming wasn’t affected or controlled by it, even more powerful Abyssal Beasts flew up from below, charging straight at Song Changming.

These Abyssal Beasts could not only perfectly adapt to the abyssal environment but also mobilize the tumultuous and violent abyssal energy to a certain extent, transforming it into their combat tactics.

As they charged, the Abyssal Energy collided with Song Changming from all directions.

With a sharp glint in his eyes, Song Changming immediately summoned his Witch Soldier Seal to physically withstand the impact and pressure of the Abyssal Energy.

Then, he abruptly drew his saber and slashed, the might of the saber easily cutting apart the approaching Abyssal Energy.

With the saber in hand, Song Changming’s strength was greatly enhanced compared to fighting bare-handed.

Boom!

One of the Abyssal Beasts was crushed to pieces by the sword’s might on the spot, becoming another valuable essence of blood and flesh collected by Song Changming.

But this couldn’t stop other Abyssal Beasts from charging; they broke through the protection of the Master’s Power and lunged at Song Changming with open mouths.

Not only was Song Changming’s physical body attacked, but even the Divine Soul in his Nether Sea was targeted by these Abyssal Beasts, as if a moment’s negligence would allow them to take a bite out of him.

It must be said, the attack tactics of these Abyssal Beasts were indeed rare.

"Get out here and work!" Song Changming couldn’t endure this, directly activating the Evil Beast within the God-devouring Saber.

The Evil Beast roared reluctantly and emerged.

Clearly, it had little interest in these Abyssal Beasts, but for the sake of its master, Song Changming, it had no choice but to obey, biting into the Divine Souls of those Abyssal Beasts.

Divine Soul is the most crucial and fragile component of any living being, and ordinary creatures fear damage to it, often opting to avoid such attacks.

Song Changming was no exception.

However, these Abyssal Beasts knew no fear, completely ignoring the Evil Beast’s devouring bites on their Divine Souls, continuing to assail Song Changming.

Their suicidal stance deepened Song Changming’s frown.

He stepped down, rising on a crimson cloud of thunder and lightning, disappearing from the spot.

If a Divine Soul is damaged, even if it’s just a trace, recovery isn’t easy.

Song Changming’s speed was unmatched, like riding a somersault cloud, simultaneously confronting the Abyssal Energy while moving.

More Abyssal Beasts surrounded him relentlessly, and Song Changming no longer wished to tangle with these annoying and numerous beasts.

He continued downward, challenging his limits.

Thirty thousand meters, forty thousand meters...

The surrounding Abyssal Energy was growing increasingly turbulent and chaotic.

Because of this, it even caused spatial distortion to intensify here.

There were even visual phenomena of spatial collapse!

At this point, Song Changming sensed he was nearing.

Nearing the location of the Sealing Array and Star-Devouring Dragon.

Above the abyss, Emperor Yun flicked his fingers over the golden thread, suddenly shaking his head.

"This kid is truly bold."

He thought Song Changming would turn back when the situation got hairy halfway, but Song Changming unexpectedly continued accelerating downward, taking the risk head-on.

Usually seeming composed, who knew he’d be so reckless now.

Emperor Yun’s awareness was attached to the golden thread; if anything went awry, he would pull Song Changming back, saving him from the current danger.

On the other side, Song Changming, deep in the Abyss, his eyes bursting with radiant colorful light—this was the manifestation of him fully operating the Heaven Lifting Divine Technique.

The Divine Soul in the Nether Sea sat firmly on the Lotus Platform, hands raised, allowing him to resist the will of the Star-Devouring Dragon under the action of witchcraft, keeping his clarity.

Luckily, his Witch Race inheritance was strong enough, letting him greatly immune to the Star-Devouring Dragon’s will influence.

At the same time, a vast number of Abyssal Beasts emerged from the thick fog, reminding Song Changming of scenes from the Illusion Realm past.

Same fog enshrouds, same endless monsters emerge.

The only difference was the pressure and threat level here compared to the extraterrestrial beasts in the ancient battlefield of the Illusion Realm.

These Abyssal Beasts were indeed not the biggest obstacle to Song Changming deeply exploring the Abyss.

Compared to the relentless chase of these beasts, the abyss itself unleashed energy, with intensity reaching an exorbitant stage.

The energy armor formed by the Master’s Power had long been worn away by the energy here, leaving only a robust physical body to withstand.

Even with Song Changming’s sturdy physique and Witch Seal, he had to grit his teeth to fend off the Abyssal Energy’s erosion.

His skin showed crack damage with severe wear marks, signaling he was near his breaking point.

And the beasts didn’t care; they seized the moment as Song Changming’s descent slowed and reaction dulled, encircling him like a giant white flesh ball from afar.

Boom!

Encompassed, Song Changming unhesitatingly performed martial arts, slashing out a blade that annihilated the heavens and earth!

As the blade struck out, the abyss shook, countless beasts turned to dust, leaving nothing behind.

Song Changming followed up with a rush, breaking free once more.

"Mm!"

At this moment, he seemed to sense something, abruptly striking downward at a certain spot in the abyss.

Several beasts were crushed by his palm force; a vast section of the fog was temporarily cleared, revealing a massive rune several meters wide, radiating brilliant light!

The rune glowed energetically, hanging in a fixed position, sometimes dispersing light, instantaneously disintegrating nearby Abyssal Beasts.

"Arrived!" Song Changming finally approached this massive Sealing Rune Array.

Of course, the rune sighted was merely the tip of the iceberg of this enormous array, floating on the outer layer.

He was still a distance away from truly reaching the core of the array.

And the Star-Devouring Dragon was sealed at the core of the array!

Sadly, he couldn’t go further down.

The Abyssal Energy here had reached his limit; skin injuries were just the start, he couldn’t linger much longer.

As Song Changming planned to thoroughly study this rune for departure, more stronger Abyssal Beasts appeared.

Flying up from below, they bore resemblance to bizarre hybrids of dinosaurs and humans, upright, dragon-skinned, with a long tail behind.

Their vitality and aura far exceeded any other Abyssal Beasts Song Changming had killed, raising his caution.

These Abyssal Beasts moved extremely fast; before Song Changming could think further, they charged quickly.

Accompanied by a dull sound, Song Changming’s form was thrown off balance, rolling backward.

"What a strong impact." Song Changming’s feet landed heavily against one side of the abyss wall.

The rock wall, perhaps due to long exposure to Abyssal Energy, each black stone was extremely hard; Song Changming’s collision didn’t budge it, barely any debris fell off.

Though the rebound force made Song Changming’s feet and legs numb, unable to catch his breath.

Following this, other beasts opened their large mouths, spewing numerous energy flows, entirely engulfing Song Changming.

Simultaneously, the golden thread at Song Changming’s waist moved.

At the top of the abyss, Emperor Yun raised a finger, softly murmuring.

"Retrieve!"

The golden thread immediately tightened continuously, recoiling into his body.

Song Changming, deep in the abyss, was swiftly pulled out within a few breaths, landing again above the abyss.

"Luckily, still alive." Emperor Yun chuckled, the golden thread entirely retracting.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the rescue. I was reckless..." Song Changming shook his form, caught his breath, then gratefully saluted Emperor Yun.

At this moment, he looked far from well, his body battered and bloodied, severely wounded.

Even after an expedition to the Celestial Ruins, fighting many Great Demons and Demon Kings, he hadn’t been this injured.

This time, venturing into the Abyss, he almost met his demise.

As Emperor Yun said, this truly was a deadly nine-life place!
