Chapter 2140 - 2141: Returning to the Abyss Once More
This time, Ye Qiu didn’t let Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng follow along. He wanted to explore the Xuanhuang Qi on his own; mainly, bringing the two of them would be inconvenient.
After that, Ye Qiu set off.
After leaving the ancient city, Ye Qiu saw that quite a few people were also rushing toward the Cosmic Abyss.
When people saw Ye Qiu, none of them dared to be presumptuous. Ye Qiu ignored them and walked forward on his own.
"That person just now was Ye Fentian, right."
"That’s him. I saw him fight the Taiyi Saint Heir before." someone said.
"Zizi, a Loose Cultivator, and so young, yet he’s reached this level. Then think about myself, ai..." someone sighed.
"Comparing people will piss you off. Why don’t I have such high martial talent?"
"From the looks of him, he’s definitely going to search for Xuanhuang Qi. He has the strength to head into the Cosmic Abyss alone, but we can’t."
...
Three hours later, Ye Qiu arrived at a cliff-edge of the Cosmic Abyss. His body leaped, and he jumped straight down.
His skill was high so his courage was big. In any case, his clairvoyant eyes had already swept over the area; there were no Emperor-level demons. As for ordinary demons or King-level demons, Ye Qiu simply didn’t care.
What’s more, he had specifically noticed that there were quite a few King-level demons here, yet he still jumped down.
Susususu...
When he descended to a depth of twenty thousand meters, a King-level abyssal demon pounced at him. Moreover, the deeper he went, the more King-level abyssal demons he saw standing on various protruding stone walls.
Pairs of eyes all converged on his body.
Ye Qiu wore a faint smile on his face and acted as if he hadn’t seen the abyssal demons lunging at him.
Just as the abyssal demon was within ten meters of him, Ye Qiu’s Heaven-and-Earth Dharma Form appeared and struck directly in his stead.
Shua.
The Heaven-and-Earth Dharma Form was like Ye Qiu’s avatar; the power of its strikes was comparable to his own.
Bang bang bang!
With a single palm strike, like a breeze sweeping away fallen leaves, the five King-level abyssal demons nearby were all swatted down.
After this strike, the abyssal demons fell, but they didn’t die. They immediately spread their fleshy wings and charged up again.
The Heaven-and-Earth Dharma Form stretched out its arms. Because it was an energy body, a special form of energy, it could transform at will. In an instant, both hands turned into twin blades, hacking out a flurry of blade shadows at the abyssal demons.
Shua shua shua...
The King-level abyssal demons were sliced piece by piece as if being dismembered alive. Not even their bones were left; in the blink of an eye, they were all killed.
Seeing this scene, Ye Qiu’s expression couldn’t help but shift slightly. Although he had already anticipated it, the Heaven-and-Earth Dharma Form strengthened by Xuanhuang Qi was truly not ordinarily powerful—five to six times stronger than before.
And this was only the Dharma Form at the same height as him. If it could also reach a hundred meters tall, facing a King-level abyssal demon, it could probably slap one to death with a single palm.
He had to keep finding Xuanhuang Qi.
Ye Qiu made up his mind. For these next few days he would focus on searching for Xuanhuang Qi. Anyway, with his strength, even if he encountered an Emperor-level abyssal demon, he wouldn’t die. With the Taihuang Bell protecting him, he could avoid any crisis.
His advantages far surpassed others. Relying on the Taihuang Bell alone, Ye Qiu already had a head start over anyone else and could seize more Xuanhuang Qi.
The Heaven-and-Earth Dharma Form opened the way, fighting King-level demons non-stop, while Ye Qiu strolled along leisurely behind.
In fact, Ye Qiu could have refrained from bringing out the Heaven-and-Earth Dharma Form at all. That way his speed would be even faster, but he didn’t do so. He wanted to temper the Dharma Form a bit. Since there were so many abyssal demons here, weren’t they perfect for practice?
Advancing like this all the way, as long as no Emperor-level demons appeared, no abyssal demon could block Ye Qiu’s path. Before long, Ye Qiu had reached a depth of one hundred thousand meters. Last time, it was at about this depth that he discovered Xuanhuang Qi. This time, as Ye Qiu went in again to one hundred thousand meters, he naturally became serious.
Where there was Xuanhuang Qi, there was also the possibility of hidden danger.
Nothing!
Ye Qiu swept his gaze around and really didn’t find the shadow of any Xuanhuang Qi, so he continued sinking down. When he went down to two hundred thousand meters, the cold below was somewhat unbearable. Even with Ye Qiu’s powerful Supreme Saint physique, he felt the icy chill.
Ye Qiu glanced downward, thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and continued descending.
When he reached a depth of three hundred thousand meters, he started to be unable to endure it. Mainly, at this depth it was several times colder than before, and he also saw that some stone walls had begun to grow white ice crystals.
Especially since it was already three hundred thousand meters deep and yet there was still no bottom in sight, Ye Qiu didn’t know where the limits of this Cosmic Abyss lay.
Could it really be a bottomless abyss?
After thinking it over again and again, Ye Qiu descended another hundred thousand meters. At this point, his teeth had begun to chatter. No, he couldn’t go any deeper. Otherwise, even as a Supreme Saint, he would be frozen to death.
Moreover, he had gone down so deep and still hadn’t seen even the shadow of Xuanhuang Qi. He couldn’t even see a single abyssal demon. That bottomless, pitch-black depths below was like a devouring black hole. The more Ye Qiu looked at it, the more his scalp tingled.
Retreat.
Even though he had the Taihuang Bell protecting him, Ye Qiu didn’t want to take risks, because he knew very well that the most powerful abyssal demon in this Cosmic Abyss was not at the Emperor level. Those terrifying eyes were the truly dreadful thing. If he kept going down and ran into the owner of those eyes, he really was afraid some accident would happen.
That existence was probably even more terrifying than the All-Heavens Realm.
When that time came, would a heaven-tier hiding treasure like the Taihuang Bell still be useful?
A question mark popped up in Ye Qiu’s head.
After a long while, when he returned to a depth of one hundred thousand meters, the chill in Ye Qiu’s body finally began to fade. It was better to search at this depth; as for the deeper parts of the abyss, he didn’t want to try again.
Thus, Ye Qiu changed direction and began to move horizontally.
No longer continuing to go straight down.
Half a stick of incense later, Ye Qiu’s expression flickered. His face—sure enough, he had discovered Xuanhuang Qi again.
However, the Xuanhuang Qi he found this time was a bit sparse, only about one cubic meter. The Heaven-and-Earth Dharma Form opened its mouth in delight toward the Xuanhuang Qi and swallowed it all, then began refining.
An hour later, the aura of the Heaven-and-Earth Dharma Form grew slightly stronger. Ye Qiu was quite satisfied. As expected, the more of a thing like Xuanhuang Qi, the better.
Having gained something, Ye Qiu was full of motivation and continued forward.
Before long, he encountered a small squad that was also searching here. When they saw Ye Qiu, they even considered robbing him, but were immediately stopped by someone among them, because one of them recognized Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu smiled and ignored these guys. Since they didn’t make a move, fine. If they really dared to attack him, he wouldn’t mind opening their eyes and letting them learn who they could mess with and who they absolutely couldn’t.
In the next three hours, Ye Qiu didn’t see any Xuanhuang Qi. Only after another half stick of incense of walking did he discover a familiar figure.
Most importantly, right in front of that familiar figure, there was a patch of Xuanhuang Qi.
