Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 6448: Ancient Abyss Realm

The Abyssal Realm had thus become the most unique place in the entire Ancient Domain.

Jian Wushuang and his two companions secretly followed the ancient gate into the abyss, without immediately contacting Jiang Ni.

Because now, Jiang Ni had the strength to protect herself.

In fact, she could roam freely throughout the Ancient Domain.

Whether they recognized each other sooner or later, it didn’t matter.

However, Jian Wushuang was particularly anxious about the Emperor within the ancient gate.

The silver puppets that the Emperor had summoned were exactly the same as the ones left behind by the Divine Eye Clan.

It wasn’t that they looked the same, but they had identical powers.

This person was definitely connected to the Divine Eye Clan.

Either he had obtained the inheritance of the Divine Eye Clan, or someone from the Divine Eye Clan was supporting him.

What Jian Wushuang currently lacked the most were powerful warriors from the Divine Eye Clan.

If he could secure another one, his strength would increase once again.

They had now reached the ninety-ninth level of the Abyssal Realm.

This corridor lay at the deepest part of the Abyssal Realm.

It was the place where the energy was densest and also the most dangerous.

Most practitioners could only reach this level, but the abyss was far deeper than that.

There was a tale of someone throwing a Dao Master servant down, and after months of descent, the servant still hadn’t reached the bottom, but their consciousness and Origin Source were destroyed by an overwhelming force from the abyss below.

Ultimately, they perished.

Many had attempted to enter the abyss, but they all fell.

Even now, some still believed that treasures existed within the abyss.

But many more thought that a terrifying being resided in its depths.

Standing at the edge of the abyssal corridor, Jian Wushuang and his two companions leaned on the railing, gazing down into the abyss.

“Brother Wushuang, you’ve seen much in your travels. Tell me, could this abyss be the Abyss of the Universe?” Xue Yang asked.

The Abyss of the Universe that Xue Yang referred to was something Jian Wushuang had heard of but never encountered.

He had seen the Abyss of Time and Space.

It was the abyss connected to the River of Time and Space, and he had even ventured to its bottom.

But it wasn’t particularly special.

He hadn’t expected that the Ancient Domain would contain such an abyss.

Moreover, monsters occasionally flew out from this abyss.

However, their strength was weak.

These creatures were strange, growing weaker the closer they were to the abyss’s mouth.

The most powerful monsters appearing at the ninety-ninth level were only at the Dao Master level.

And the energy they wielded wasn’t divine power but a destructive force.

It equated to around five thousand times the power of divine energy.

A Holy Land Dao Master, whose strength rivaled that of an Emperor, could easily crush them with a single hand.

If an Emperor were stationed here, they could even open up a new corridor.

Jian Wushuang stared down into the abyss. It was different from the abyss he had seen before.

If this were the Abyss of Time and Space, there wouldn’t be any strong beings living nearby.

As for the Universe Abyss, he had heard of it but knew it didn’t possess this kind of dark magic. An Emperor could generally explore such a place with ease.

But this abyss, even a Holy Lord couldn’t deal with.

Clearly, it wasn’t the Universe Abyss.

“I’m not sure. It looks strange and is quite different from the abyss I encountered in the past!” Jian Wushuang shook his head.

Hearing this, Xue Yang’s excitement grew. “If even you haven’t seen this before, doesn’t that mean this abyss might not exist in the outside Realm? If we come back here after becoming an Emperor or Universe Master, there’s bound to be great treasures waiting for us!”

“Haha, you’re too naive!” Immortal Jiu Chen sneered. “Based on what I know, this abyss is likely a passage.”

“A passage?” Jian Wushuang was stunned.

Xue Yang scoffed at Jiu Chen’s claim, dismissing it. “You’re full of it. What does a mere Universe Master’s soul fragment know?”

“I’ve told you countless times, the Master of Divine Fire is a Demigod—a Demigod, with the potential to become a Universe God, someone capable of ascending to the heavens!!!”

Jian Wushuang interrupted the two men’s argument and said, “Stop arguing. Tell me about this abyss, or the passage you mentioned!”

Immortal Jiu Chen, upon hearing this, adopted a haughty demeanor and slowly began to speak:

“I also learned of this from the memories of the Lord of Divine Fire. This passage likely leads to a place of inheritance for the Divine Eye Clan.”

“Don’t mistake it for those inheritances in the Ancient Domain. Those are trash. Though they were also established by a Universe Master of the Divine Eye Clan, they can only impart the first five transformations. While the first five transformations can allow a Universe Master to dominate, the Lord of Divine Fire once accidentally entered an abyss, where he discovered a true inheritance site of the Divine Eye Clan. There, he obtained the Nine-Eye Inheritance, which contains the complete Nine Transformations Secret Art of the Divine Eye. From then on, his rise was meteoric. Becoming a Universe God would have been an easy task for him, but unfortunately, he suddenly perished for reasons unknown.”

After finishing, Immortal Jiu Chen sighed with some regret.

If the Lord of Divine Fire hadn’t fallen, there would have been no opportunity for him. Yet, his fall still evoked a sense of pity.

After all, it was the perfect inheritance of the Nine Transformations!

Hearing this, Jian Wushuang was surprised and said, “It seems that the inheritance the Lord of Divine Fire stumbled upon back then is the holy ground of the entire Divine Eye Clan!”

The Nine Transformations Inheritance was something only Senior Brother Guiyan had.

It must have been left behind by Senior Brother Guiyan, which was why the Lord of Divine Fire had called him ‘Martial Uncle.’

Since he had obtained Senior Brother Guiyan’s inheritance, he naturally became his disciple.

“So, there must be a great treasure down there!” Jian Wushuang smiled faintly. “You could say that!”

However, entering it likely required a high standard.

Without another word, and to the astonishment of the two men, Jian Wushuang leaped into the abyss.

This scene left both Xue Yang and Immortal Jiu Chen dumbfounded.

Some of the powerful cultivators observing the abyss also gasped in shock when they saw Jian Wushuang jump in.

Although people occasionally jumped into the abyss, not many had seen it happen with their own eyes.

“Look! Another fool has jumped in!”

“He seems fairly strong,” an elder commented calmly.

A younger cultivator sneered, “What good is strength? Even an Emperor would perish down there. He’s probably just another bored cultivator seeking death!”

“What a shame.”

Several others echoed similar sentiments.

But it only stirred some brief excitement.

Before long, everyone returned to their meditation and resumed cultivating.

Meanwhile, Jian Wushuang plunged deeper into the abyss.

He had already mastered the first three transformations of the Nine Transformations Secret Art.

The power within the abyss could not harm him.

However, the further down he went, the more intense the mental assaults became.

Jian Wushuang, possessing the consciousness of a Realm Beast, barely felt the assaults—it was nothing more than an itch to him.

Even though the mental impact had reached a level capable of annihilating peak experts, it still didn’t affect him.

However, he dared not descend any further.

The reason was that the number of monsters around him had increased dramatically.

Each of them was at the peak level.

Although Jian Wushuang had divine power equivalent to fifty thousand times the strength of an ordinary Universe God, aided by the leaves of the Realm Tree and the secret mental techniques, even he found it strenuous to deal with so many monsters.

In short, his mental resilience was sufficient.

His mastery of the Divine Eye Secret Art, however, was lacking.

And in terms of combat strength, he was far behind.

He had no choice but to fly back up.

As long as his mind wasn’t under threat, Jian Wushuang could fly back out of the abyss.

Other cultivators, however, had their consciousness overwhelmed, preventing them from moving. They were forced to fall deeper into the abyss.

The fortunate ones avoided monsters and were ultimately destroyed by the mental assaults.

The unlucky ones encountered the monsters and were devoured on the spot.
