The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood-Chapter 959 - 960: Abyss of Hell

"This is one of the Ten Great Dangerous Lands, the Abyssal Chasm, even more dangerous than the Dragon Prison!"

Hong Ling watched the scene unfold, immediately filled with astonishment.

"Abyssal Chasm? What is that?"

Ye Mo could sense the terror of the black flames; given its status as one of Lingwu Continent’s top ten forbidden areas, it certainly had something extraordinary about it.

"It’s said that the Abyssal Chasm was created when an object from the immortal world crashed here, forming a colossal pit. Outsiders refer to it as the Abyssal Chasm. There’s talk of an immortal treasure within, drawing many powerful figures eager to explore and retrieve it. Even formidable Demon Beasts have tried to uncover its secrets, but none have returned after descending."

As Hong Ling spoke, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, clearly signifying how dangerous this forbidden place was.

"Has no one ever emerged from it?"

Ye Mo asked curiously.

"Yes, of course. Many Divine Venerate Realm experts have ventured inside, but they can generally only reach a depth of a thousand meters. Yet it remains a sea of hellish flames, unbearable, forcing them to return."

Hong Ling explained.

"The fact that even Divine Venerate experts can only penetrate a thousand meters implies this Abyss of Hell remains unexplored and certainly unfused."

A flutter of excitement touched Ye Mo’s heart. Perhaps within this Abyss of Hell, he might discover some fateful fortune to enhance his power further.

"Ye Mo, I advise you not to tempt fate. Even a Wheel of Reincarnation Realm expert can only dive in a hundred meters before having to withdraw immediately; you’re courting death without Demon Dragon Power."

Hong Ling immediately cautioned.

"Let’s try. If it’s too much, we’ll retreat at once. The elder may have sent me here to test me."

Ye Mo speculated.

In truth, Zi Kui’s decision to teleport Ye Mo here had nothing to do with that. It was merely because the environment suited Ye Mo’s breakthrough, without expecting Ye Mo would dare to penetrate the Abyss of Hell.

Ye Mo descended directly, gazing at the fierce black flames that leapt wildly, occasionally flickering onto his feet, burning for a long time before slowly dying out.

"The flames in this Abyss of Hell are indeed extraordinary, becoming more terrifying the deeper one goes."

Ye Mo felt the fire, more dreadful than Unique Fire Body and Karmic Fire.

Ye Mo was convinced of the terror lurking deep within the Abyss of Hell, fearsome enough to deter even Divine Venerate Realm experts.

Whoosh!

Ye Mo leapt, unfurling the Immortal-Slaying Domain, cascading directly into the abyss.

The flames within the Abyss of Hell assailed Ye Mo’s domain, extending their fierce invasion. The deeper he went, the more fearsome the flames grew.

Now descended a hundred meters, Ye Mo could feel the flames capable of easily annihilating a Wheel of Reincarnation Realm expert, yet they posed no threat to him.

No matter how the flames burned, they couldn’t breach Ye Mo’s emerging domain.

"Could it be due to the Immortal-Slaying Holy Flame?"

Ye Mo wondered, this being the only explanation. Since these flames originated from the immortal world, they were likely immortal substances too. The Immortal-Slaying Holy Flame belonging to the Heavenly Court Goddess was also an immortal flame.

"It seems these flames can’t harm you, but don’t get complacent. Descend gradually; as soon as the Immortal-Slaying Domain shows signs of strain, ascend immediately!"

Hong Ling advised.

Divine Venerate experts could only reach a thousand meters before returning fruitlessly. Going deeper could either ruin one’s cultivation or lead to death.

"Alright!"

Ye Mo nodded, slowly delving underground.

Below, the sea of fire rippled like countless wailing spirits.

Having reached nearly 300 meters, Ye Mo dared not extend his heart’s spirit; the searing heat could incinerate it. As for the Immortal-Slaying Domain, he dared not lift it, lest he court death.

Unwittingly, Ye Mo had ventured 300 meters below ground, the fire’s terror akin to a rampaging beast assaulting the rune barriers.

"Here, I’ve reached the maximum depth for Divine Venerate experts. Any further, and none dare venture. However, with the Immortal-Slaying Domain, it should be manageable. Yet my Foutu Xuanqi is depleting; I’ll restore my strength here before pressing forward again."

Though the Immortal-Slaying Domain can fend off the hellish flames, it requires continual power and depletes more rapidly with each descent.

Ye Mo sat cross-legged in the sea of fire, slowly recuperating. An hour passed, and Ye Mo’s state returned to its peak.

He moved forward again, soon shattering the kilometer barrier, reaching depths where even Divine Venerate experts had never ventured.

Indeed, this kilometer was a bottleneck, as if nearing the hellfire’s source. The flames’ power swelled, and a immense oppressive force rolled in, cracking the rune barriers slightly.

"Not good!"

Ye Mo’s face changed dramatically. He intended to retreat, knowing that if he went further, the rune barriers would surely shatter, leaving him incinerated.

"Brother Ye Mo, go for it."

The little girl urged, "Beyond just a hundred more meters, there are no flames."

As a Half-Deity Level seal, the so-called demigod surpasses the Divine Venerate, with Heart Spirit Strength reaching the tenth tier, the strongest Heart Cultivation Level on the continent. Ye Mo’s breakthrough to this point barely breached the hellfire’s blockade, revealing an empty chasm beneath the flames.

Ye Mo unreservedly trusted the little girl, gritting his teeth, plunging deeper into the swirling, rampant flames.

Crack, crack!

The immense pressure further fissured Ye Mo’s rune barriers, almost to the point of shattering.

But beyond his sight was a bright expanse; the vast subterranean world beneath the Abyss of Hell held its own terrain. The hellish fire was merely a barrier no Divine Venerate could breach, yet Ye Mo, by relying on the Immortal-Slaying Domain, broke through by sheer force.

"Charge!"

Ye Mo shouted as the rune barriers collapsed. His body passed through the sea of flames, landing directly underground.

Ye Mo landed, surveying the surroundings. Since this chasm resulted from an immortal world object crashing down, there must be items from the immortal world here.

"I smell blood!"

Ye Mo sniffed; indeed, there was a lot of blood underground, still fresh.

"This is Ancient Shenrui Blood—could this pit have been caused by the Ancient Shenrui falling from the immortal world?"

Hong Ling, sensitive to blood, immediately recognized the underground blood as Ancient Shenrui Blood.

"It must be so. No wonder the Ancient Shenrui was so formidable; in ancient times, so many mighty figures joined forces to kill it. The black flames alone are beyond what ordinary Divine Venerate experts can withstand. Yet why did the Ancient Shenrui descend to Lingwu Continent?"

This indeed remains a mystery, unsolvable by anyone.
