Chapter 179: Pernicious Abyss

, then we might lose our nature, but he didn't. If he succeeds in controlling this killing qi someday, maybe…" Ji Meixian didn't finish her sentence and felt it was impossible."Becoming Ten Heavenly I...Chapter 179 - The Abyss of the Afterlife

The old man with a tall and thin figure had tightly grabbed Shen Xiang's wrist. He was badly injured, unable to use his essence energy. His body had been severely damaged, and he couldn't use Water Escape technique on the flying magical tool.

"Boy, if you don't want to die, give me your good things! I'll just cripple you, not kill you!" The old man smiled sinisterly, his face full of malice.

Shen Xiang didn't expect the elders of Taiwu Sect to be so cruel towards him. Knowing that this elder was trusted by Dong Chen and his group, he didn't anticipate being caught off guard. He was successfully ambushed due to his lack of precautions. This elder’s strength was also formidable, nearly taking his life with one palm strike.

The flying spirit tool of the tall and thin elder was fast, arriving at a place that made people fearful. They were currently hovering in the middle of a wide fissure stretching thousands of feet on both sides, with no bottom to it.

This was a famous place near the Eastern Dragon Mountain, called Abyss of the Afterlife. No one knew what was at the bottom, and it was also where the boundary between True Martial Sect started. It was said that Huang Jin Tian had gone down there, but he returned after a few days since he couldn't withstand the cold qi below. After coming back, he spent an extended period recovering. This showed how terrifying this place was.

"Boy, if you don't give it to me, I'll throw you down!" The tall and thin elder tightly held Shen Xiang's wrist as he struck him again.

"Don't you fear Taiwu Sect knowing about this Whether I give it to you or not, you're going to kill me and make sure no one finds out." Shen Xiang spat, his voice cold. He had nowhere to escape, hovering in the middle of that gigantic fissure, unable to fly, with only one way out - jumping down.

"Haha... since you're asking so nicely, I'll let you know the reason. My last name is Lu! Now do you understand This was all your own fault." The tall and thin elder laughed crazily, then struck Shen Xiang’s abdomen with a palm, sending him flying.

Shen Xiang didn't scream, only looking at the tall and thin elder with eyes filled with hatred. His immobile body fell into the abyss, while only傳來 that tall and thin elder’s laughter.

Centuries ago, even Huang Jin Tian himself couldn't bear this place. Others certainly wouldn’t be able to handle it, making this a perfect place for destruction and disappearance. If he was killed elsewhere, his soul would scatter with the wind. Some spirit talismans could be used to summon his soul, and he would certainly die if that happened. However, the Abyss of the Afterlife didn’t work like that - you died and stayed there forever.

Shen Xiang had been assassinated by the elder Lu when he left Taiwu Sect, something he didn’t expect. He would have been careful if he knew that this elder was highly respected by Dong Chen and his group. Otherwise, the ambush wouldn’t have been successful.

As the tall and thin elder watched Shen Xiang's body disappear into the infinite abyss, he flew away.

After falling down, Shen Xiang only felt coldness. His arm suddenly glowed with a light and revealed a delicate girl, Long Xue Yi tugging at his arm. "These troubles are caused by the powerful suction here," she said while trying to pull him up.

"As long as you don't let me break apart," Shen Xiang said with a laugh. "You know the Taoist technique is to prevent me from breaking apart."

A hellish spirit herb appeared in his hands. Long Xue Yi took it, licking her lips as she longed to taste its flavor. She wanted to try the taste of hellish spirit herbs, but she knew it was for Shen Xiang’s injuries. After licking her tongue, she placed it in his mouth, watching him enjoy the herb with envy.

Long Xue Yi swallowed her saliva and asked, "Is it good"

"Kid, as long as I don’t die, you might get the best food someday!" Shen Xiang said with a sad laugh. "Don’t forget my Dragon Soul Technique."

"I know, but I can't help it," Long Xue Yi said while pulling his arm slowly down. If the suction wasn’t too strong, she could easily have carried him.

If she appeared too early and was seen by the tall and thin elder, it would have been dangerous. Although she was a dragon, she was too small to handle the elder’s strength. Therefore, she could only wait until he left before coming out. However, she had enough strength to escape while leaving Shen Xiang behind if necessary. But she decided to stay, grabbing onto him and letting him slowly descend, showing her loyalty.

The abyss was filled with coldness, making Shen Xiang tremble.

"Sister Mei Yao, Sister You You. Have you heard of this place" Shen Xiang asked.

"Yes, it's a very scary place. All we know is that," Su Mei Yao said with concern in her voice.

"I once thought this place was good for me to practice, and I came here for a while. But in the end, I couldn't bear it," said White You You.

Shen Xiang felt the cold qi becoming heavier. If he continued, he would die!

"Bull**, I have Yin-Yang Divine Vein! A little bit of cold qi can't harm me!" Shen Xiang said proudly. He quickly circulated the Taiji Dragon Technique, absorbing and refining the cold qi that had entered his body!

At first, he could absorb the cold qi and turn it into essence energy. Then, through his technique, it was transformed into True Qi of the five elements. This only worked at first, but after over two hours, he suddenly found that there was more cold qi entering his body than before. He could hardly keep up with the rate at which he refined it, so he had no choice but to use his technique to expel the cold qi from his body.

The cold qi became heavier, and Shen Xiang now understood why so many people couldn't bear it and left. The endless cold qi seemed to be coming from the abyss itself.

Shen Xiang's face became paler, his body shaking with cold. Even Huang Jin Tian couldn't reach the bottom, so he didn't have much confidence. Besides, he was also unable to return now, relying on Long Xue Yi's strength to slowly descend.

Long Xue Yi was practicing divine Dao, so the cold qi didn't affect her. However, she also discreetly worried about there being dangers that she couldn't handle down below.

"Hey, don't you have the Eastern Dragon Golden Armor Try it out to see if it can withstand cold qi!" Su Mei Yao suddenly said, reviving Shen Xiang's spirit. He concentrated his mind and saw armor of golden light appear around his body, covering him entirely. Although his head was still exposed, he felt much better and blocked more cold qi from entering his body. He now felt more comfortable.

The cold qi coming in was still abundant, but the majority of it contained a large amount of negative energy. By refining it with Taiji Dragon Technique, he could turn it into refined essence energy. Through the nourishment of the Five-Element Beast Image, he could turn it into True Qi of the five elements. It would then be stored in Shen Xiang's dantian.

As he fell, Shen Xiang healed his injuries and practiced. He already had Yin-Yang Divine Vein, absorbing large amounts of qi from the cold qi and refining it quickly. Unknowingly, another True Qi grain appeared in his Dragon Beast Image. The black dragon already had four grains glowing. When he reached ten, he could start practicing other beast images, and all five beasts needed to have fifty True Qi grains in total for him to enter the Second Stage of True Martial Realm. However, even then, he would have more profound essence energy.

Long Xue Yi pulled Shen Xiang slowly, even though it seemed tiring. She was comfortably eating medicinal pills and fruits all the while. Building a contract with Shen Xiang seemed like an excellent decision since she knew that practicing Taiji Dragon Technique would definitely lead him to great success.he shivered and glared at Shen Xiang and Leigyoulan. He had lost again, this time to a woman. It was even more ironic that Leigyoulan was Liu Meng’er’s disciple!Luo Yitao had a marriage contract with...
