Chapter 39: Paying Him Back for a Lifetime
The Abyss of Despair!
The human world has many forbidden places or ancient ruins, among which the most famous is definitely the Abyss of Despair, located in the Chu Yu Empire.
It is said that during the forbidden period of ancient times, this was the place where the six paths of life were buried; even the Immortal Lord and the Demon Lord had to perish here. The Abyss of Despair is located in the abyss of ten thousand zhang, far away from the mortal world, unless one has the cultivation of Reincarnarion; otherwise, one cannot even hope to go down even half a step.
Even the old monster reincarnation coming here is more dangerous than good. From ancient times until now, many strong people from all over the human world have gathered here in search of inheritance, but all failed, burying themselves in the desolate demon realm.
Of course, there are also monks who have great luck and successfully come out, bringing shocking news to the human world:
"Inside is the body of an Immortal Lord-level strong person who was pierced through the head by a spear, shattering his immortal soul and dying!"
"Even the Demon Lord was pierced through the left chest by a black spear and pinned to the ground. Even though he had been dead for hundreds of thousands of years, his expression still looked like he was struggling in fear from that terrifying spear."
"That was indeed the place where the six paths of life died. Countless corpses, some of which had been in the darkness for too long and had developed evil thoughts, turned into extremely terrifying existences. They looked like zombies, but only had the thoughts of killing and devouring."
After these three pieces of news spread, the human world was completely in an uproar. The oldest forces tried to rummage through the family's classics, trying to find the owner of that black spear. But all were disappointed, as if a mysterious hand had covered the forbidden period, wiping out all relevant information. No matter how hard they tried, they could not understand what happened that day.
At this moment, only Nathan was seen running straight towards the Abyss of Despair; both Elder Ding and Faye couldn't help but change their expressions.
Disciple, quickly return; that is the burial place of the six paths of living beings, whether you are a demon, fairy, monster, demon, god, or human; if you fall there, you will definitely die!
Faye also said:
Nether King, quickly return; I will find every way to cure you!
Unfortunately, no matter how they shouted, Nathan couldn't hear. A great battle was taking place in his mind at this moment. The consciousness of the heart demon and him were constantly devouring each other; the heart demon was really very strong; somehow, it seemed like it was forever stronger than him, unable to overwhelm!
The path is one foot high, and the devil is one zhang high! You will never defeat me! We are one body; obediently unifying will be invincible under the world!
Get lost; this body is mine. I would rather die than become a bloodthirsty monster like you!
- Die? Haha, your and my fates have been forever intertwined since you practiced the Demon scripture. In the cycle of reincarnation, it was predetermined that one day you would devour me, or I would devour you; there could be no other way!
Unexpectedly, the heart demon who had just appeared in the world would say the name of an unfamiliar cultivation method, which surprised Nathan greatly.
Haha, as soon as I was born, a few vague pieces of information appeared in my head. As I devour more flesh and blood and my cultivation level increases, those pieces of information will become clearer and clearer. Don't you want to know your identity? You're not an orphan, nor do you come from some planet like that!
The heart demon roared loudly and once again bit Nathan's consciousness, making him dizzy and feeling like he was about to disappear. He had lost this battle, unable to resist the power of the heart demon.
He laughed crazily.
If fate has arranged for you to successfully devour me, then I'd rather bury myself in the dark demon realm and die together!
- No!
The heart demon let out a piercing scream but could not stop Nathan from using his last bit of consciousness to control his body to jump down!
The abyss was ten thousand feet deep; demonic energy filled the sky, separating the mortal world; all living beings cried; any life that entered would only see despair!
- Disciple!
King of Hell!
Elder Ding and Chen Manyao rushed towards the edge of the abyss at almost the same time, but it was too late. Nathan had already jumped straight down, with the endless darkness gradually devouring his body.
- Illusion?
When his last consciousness began to blur, a hot tear suddenly welled up in the corner of his eye.
The Earth that I have always overlooked is an illusion. Then what is real? Where did I come from?
Even the heart demon was unable to endure this demonic abyss, as the demonic energy continuously shattered his consciousness. The Eternal Life Body rang out with loud explosions, the five divine embryos shattered, and the sea of suffering was also destroyed by the demonic energy.
At this moment, he saw a soft, trembling hand reaching down to grab his hand. On that soft hand, a purple rhododendron flower mark appeared, emitting a faint light. Although it was faint, it was enough to awaken Nathan's gradually fading consciousness for a moment.
Faye, you are not an illusion.
I am real, and you are real too, Nether King. In the dream, you walked with me for a while, and in the mortal world, I also accompanied you for a lifetime.
Faye's tears welled up, and her memories also began to blur. In her ears only rang the words that she could never forget in this life.
"If you don't walk on your own, how can you become a strong person? Being by my side will only make you dependent; from now on, you will be free. I brought you to fight a battle with the Great Emperor of the Immortal Clan because I want you to erase your inferiority complex; don't let my heart be wasted."
"The Six Realms are extremely dangerous; the path to cultivation is full of thorns. If one day Faye falls into reincarnation without seeing Faye one last time,
"This is the rhododendron flower from my hometown. I really like this flower because it symbolizes memories. "If I really have the chance to meet again, just seeing the imprint of this flower will immediately recognize you."
"Thank you, Nether King; if I fall into reincarnation, I will still come find you in the next life."
The last sentence in the memory ended, and darkness completely engulfed the silhouettes of Faye and Nathan.
Standing on the edge of the Abyss of Despair, the Demon Abyss, Elder Ding looked absent-minded, not thinking that this would happen.
Why did I meet you so briefly—the disciple I have been most satisfied with for thousands of years? If you are willing to devour my flesh and blood to temporarily suppress my inner demons, I will definitely use all my strength to refine the Demon-Eliminating Pill for you. And use all my strength to assist you on the path of Henry in the past...
He and Nathan did not meet for long, but from the bottom of his heart, he felt extremely regretful. As a grandmaster alchemist and also holding many secrets in the Void God Scripture and Aquatic Knife, if he had used all his strength to assist, then with Nathan's natural talent, he would most likely be able to defy the heavens and overcome the nine tribulations of life and death and would even be on par with the supreme geniuses of the Levant Sea.
What kind of relationship does that purple-clothed girl have with him? She did not even blink her eyes and was willing to jump into the demon abyss with him.
Elder Ding was sad for a long time and finally clenched his fists.
The Dragon Transformation Secret Realm leads to the Demon Abyss of Despair! Discipline: if you are fated not to die, try to hold on for half a year. Now I will immediately go find all the missing resources, then return to Aquatic Dao and ask someone to save you in half a year!
After uttering those words, he hurried directly towards the Demon tribe, swiftly seizing the Seven Fate Leaf. When he saw that the clan leaders were still standing there dumbfounded because of their injured souls, he crushed a handful of medicinal pills and then controlled the medicinal power to merge into their bodies.
The twenty or so people of the Demon tribe woke up, all of them panting. The scene of the demon with a pair of silver eyes shouting "Soul Capture" had become a fear deeply engraved in their minds.
I should have killed all of you! But my disciple refused to devour you and jumped into the Abyss of Despair. Try to live well, and don't let my disciple's life be in vain!
Elder Ding coldly snorted, climbed onto the flying leaf magic treasure, and left. He wanted to go to the Feng Sect, which is a mid-level sect.
Within three days, he used his enormous magic power to besiege the Feng Sect, forcing them to hand over the Extinction Thought Flower. However, this sect would rather die than hand over the treasure. Elder Ding's killing intent rose, and on this day, everyone truly saw the legendary methods of a seventh-level Alchemy Grandmaster. Elder Ding sealed the entire Feng Sect, then used the Pure Lotus True Fire to refine them for a whole month.
A month later, the entire Feng Sect from top to bottom had disappeared forever in the world, transforming into a red pill in Elder Ding's hands.
The three missing medicinal ingredients are sufficient; additionally, we require the blood of seven types of demonic beasts with True Spirit bloodlines, as well as a peerless demon corpse to expel the heart demon! I must visit the Northern Territory and Western Heavens!
Elder Ding's eyes were filled with countless blood vessels, revealing a look of madness. A month later, the Northern Territory demon race's roar shook the entire human world, and it was the same in the Western Heavens. The two continents declared that they wanted to hunt down the person named Ding Xeng, the elder of Aquatic Dao. The people of the Chu Yu Empire shivered, unable to comprehend the greatness of his intentions.
Disciple, you must live! In three months, I'll invite someone to save you!
Behind Ding Xeng were four Great Dao experts from the True Spirit lineage, and there were also three corpses emitting a terrifying aura chasing after him from the West Heaven.
At this moment, eight majestic figures descended from the sky like gods.
Who are you?
After seeing that person, the Great Dao expert of the demon race immediately knew that only one person had come; the seven figures behind him were just avatars.
Jiang Chen!
The middle-aged man, who appeared dignified, smiled.
Why are you all chasing after our sect elder?
You still dare to ask? He killed my clansmen and collected the true spirit blood; he deserves to die!
He came to the corpse clan to steal several ancient demon corpses that were about to awaken.
Sensing Jiang Chen's strength, those Great Dao experts refrained from taking any risks.
Jiang Chen smiled.
So that's how it is! It's okay, I will compensate you all appropriately.
Not only were the experts of the Corpse Tribe and Demon Tribe surprised, but even Elder Ding frowned, not knowing what Jiang Chen was trying to do.
"Have you all heard of the Abyss of Despair?"
This name made Elder Ding's heart stir, and the experts from Corpse Tribe and Demon Tribe were also silent.
The Immortal Lord and the Demon Lord met their demise in the same location as the experts of the six paths. How is it? Brother Jiang Chen, what do you want to say?"
Jiang Chen calmly said:
"Our True Great Dao Sect boasts a Dragon Transformation secret realm that can lead to the Abyss of Despair." Normally, our sect's disciples would enter this secret realm every year to seek opportunities. Now, to compensate, we can grant more quotas for the Corpse Tribe and Demon Tribe to enter together."
"Sect Leader Jiang, this seems too beneficial for us. What are you planning?"
A corpse clansman sneered, "Good things are falling from the sky; there must be hidden reasons behind this."
Of course, I also have to make use of my aquatic dao!
Jiang Chen clasped his hands behind his back.
With the strength of our sect's disciples, it is impossible to go too deep into the secret realm. But the remaining four continents are different. Your young generation of geniuses is very powerful and will definitely reap great harvests there. Since the Aquatic Dao generation has weakened, why not invite the world's heroes to participate in this secret realm? In return, you must take an oath to give our sect two parts of the secret treasures harvested...
