Chapter 188 The Cliff That Seizes Energy
To save time and avoid repeated trips back and forth, Ye Yang had already made plans while he was on the Blood Luo Continent.
After Bloodlust World, he still has two dangerous missions to complete in the Primordial Secret Realm.
It would take several hours to reach the next location, so Ye Yang prepared to venture into the Illusionary Sea and the Immortal Altar.
"I also explored the ancient god ruins in the Blood Luo Continent for a period of time, using the baleful energy to hone my will. After so many years of killing and fighting, even though I only truly died once, my progress in the third round of true intention tempering has reached about 11%."
Ye Yang attempted to explore the tenth island of the Illusionary Sea.
As expected, he failed again. His consciousness, which was comparable to that of a world lord, was still too weak. His will could hold on, but his consciousness was crushed.
"Then let's try the Immortal Altar. My current power multiplier is already over 80."
On one of the altars in the Immortal Altar plane, as Ye Yang struck a humanoid target five times with different body parts, the result was immediately apparent:
82、81、81、82、81
"8000 points acquired, let's take a look—I now have 18 points left."
After Ye Yang comprehended the 36th spatial essence while on the Blood Luo Continent, he spent 10 points to purchase the first three volumes of "Cosmic Wandering".
The third volume corresponds to the third picture in the "Cosmic Chaos Monument," titled "The Giant Wave Star Chart," which contains 72 stars representing the essence of space and 72 giant waves representing the essence of time.
With the 8000 points I just earned, plus some points I've used up, I have exactly 18 points left.
For the rest of the time, Ye Yang continued to study the snake-patterned bead and analyze the 37th type of spatial essence.
Several hours later, the spaceship returned to its original universe, and staff from the Virtual Universe Company reminded the crew:
"Your Highness Ye Yang, we have arrived at the 'Void Cliff'."
Ye Yang quickly opened his eyes and nodded: "Thank you, thank you for your help."
He left the spaceship and saw a gray expanse before him, with only a few faint stars shining.
"This place is enveloped by a huge cloud of cosmic dust, which blocks out all the light, so no light from outside can get in," the staff member said.
Ye Yang looked at the endless cliff floating in the void before him; this was the second cultivation task he had accepted.
Void Cliff!
The abyss between the cliffs was pitch black, and it was impossible to see what was inside.
Between the cliffs and above the abyss, there are thick, eerie chains, which are bright red, as if they have just been soaked in blood.
Above the Void Cliff, there is a divine mountain that radiates light, illuminating the entire Void Cliff from top to bottom.
Without this mountain, this place would probably be pitch black.
"That is Bright Peak, where a powerful being resides. Throughout the Void Cliffs, many immortals also quietly cultivate in asceticism. If you discover their presence, do not disturb them."
The realm lord who brought Ye Yang here gave a reminder.
"Your Highness, good luck and may you complete your mission successfully."
The spaceship that brought Ye Yang quickly departed.
"The Void Cliff - those red chains really look ominous, and the abyss here looks like a gaping maw."
Ye Yang looked expectant: "I hope the big secret here won't disappoint me."
Of course, despite his anticipation, he will still be very careful.
Even with the talent for creating clones and the ability to resurrect, if his consciousness and will are affected, his true body in the Immortal Alliance will also be affected, and Ye Yang will be truly doomed.
In the world of devouring, there are countless methods targeting the soul, as well as numerous special methods targeting consciousness and will.
In particular, Ye Yang was not clear about the details of the "Void Cliff" and could only understand its appearance through simple descriptions.
A guide from the realm lord descended from Bright Peak, gave Ye Yang a pass token, and then led him into the Void Cliff area.
He began to act alone.
A month later.
"We've gathered all the materials needed for the cultivation quest; now it's time to explore the secrets hidden within the 'Void Cliff.'"
Ye Yang stood in front of a cliff, with a huge blood-red chain in front of him and an endless abyss below.
He now has two starting points: the chains and the abyss.
After a month of exploration, Ye Yang has basically understood some of the dangers of the Void Cliff.
First, there's the mountain rock. Sometimes, a piece will naturally break off and form a rock monster that isn't very intelligent.
They will attack all outsiders, and their strength varies, with the weakest being only at the cosmic level and the strongest comparable to the peak of a domain lord.
There might be those comparable to world lords, but Ye Yang hasn't encountered one in the past month, so the probability must be very low.
The second danger is the abyss.
The abyss below the cliff is bottomless; if you throw a stone down, you won't hear a sound.
It was as if it had vanished without a trace.
There are winding paths leading down the cliff face.
Ye Yang descended along these paths to collect materials.
He could only venture a little over 10,000 kilometers into the abyss when the surrounding danger made his scalp tingle, and he dared not linger any longer.
Rock monsters also roam around from time to time along the rocky path, and it gets more dangerous the further you go down.
Below a depth of 3000 kilometers, you will find Domain Lord-level monsters, and below a depth of 8000 kilometers, you will find rock monsters at the peak of the Domain Lord level.
The third danger was the blood-red chains that connected the cliffs like roads.
Don't be fooled by these chains that look like roads that you can walk on. If you foolishly step on them, your energy will immediately be sucked away by the chains!
The body's primal energy and spiritual power (soul energy) will gradually disappear at a slow rate.
It's like being bled out all the time.
Furthermore, one cannot fly above this abyss, as a mysterious and powerful suction force will appear.
If he's lucky, he might crash into the mountainside and escape unharmed; if he's unlucky, Ye Yang doesn't know what will happen if he falls.
"The abyss—after all, there are paths leading down the mountainside, and perhaps we can even encounter those immortals who have dug caves in the cliffs and are cultivating in seclusion."
Let's explore along the path first.
Ye Yang chose to explore the abyss below first, because if he failed to explore the Crimson Chains, he would still fall into the abyss.
First, place the first Golden Horn clone and the original core together in the newly obtained D-class spaceship and dock it on the top of a cliff.
The human clones then explored downwards.
With his previous experience, Ye Yang quickly explored to a depth of 10,000 kilometers.
Even though he was wearing a Tier 3 Force Suit and an F-grade armor, he still felt a chilling aura seeping into his body.
Ye Yang kept his innate secret technique 'Resonance in Spacetime' active at all times, like a spider crawling in a spacetime grid, carefully sensing everything around him.
Suddenly... Ye Yang's vision went black, and he knelt on one knee, his hands trembling wildly.
He was shocked to discover that streams of energy were frantically surging out of his body, taking away his body temperature in the process.
This feeling is not cold, but numbness and weakness.
These auras are taking away the energy from his body!
"What kind of attack was this? How did I suddenly get hit?"
Ye Yang leaned against the roadside with difficulty, took out the nutritional supplements he had prepared beforehand, and drank them.
This was actually prepared for exploring those thick, blood-red chains later, but I never expected it to come in handy now.
However, after Ye Yang drank the potion that could quickly replenish his cosmic-level ninth-order primal energy and psychic power, a large amount of icy energy surged into his body as he digested and absorbed it.
"not good!"
Having had experience before, Ye Yang knew exactly what this meant.
He immediately used his slightly restored strength to run back as fast as he could.
After speeding from a depth of 12,000 kilometers to a depth of 11,000 kilometers, a rock monster suddenly appeared ahead.
"Go to hell!"
Ye Yang immediately unleashed his power and killed him.
However, a new round of physical exhaustion has begun—
"What the hell is that unseen yet palpable chilling aura? Neither telekinesis nor the Force suit can stop it."
Physical strength is drained, which is like cutting off the fuel supply. Even if one's understanding of the laws is high, and even if one's life gene level, power amplitude, and law compatibility are far beyond those of ordinary people, one's physical strength will be drained.
But once you're exhausted, you still have to go to bed.
"It's more intense than last time. Is it related to the depth? Or the length of time spent here? Or perhaps this aura doesn't actually dissipate, but accumulates within the body?"
Ye Yang could only continue to replenish his energy and recover his strength for a while, but he felt even more icy energy uncontrollably surging into his body.
They had no choice but to hurry back.
After going through this ordeal seven or eight times, Ye Yang finally climbed back to a depth of about 5000 kilometers, his face pale.
It was as if this place was a boundary; once you crossed this depth, the eerie aura would no longer appear to steal Ye Yang's energy.
He quickly recovered, and looking down into the abyss, his eyes became even more wary.
He would accept it if a powerful monster suddenly appeared and killed him, or if some disaster broke out and swallowed him up.
That's a matter of strength.
But this strange situation is hard for Ye Yang to understand.
"It seems we can't explore blindly like this. These cultivation missions, dangers, and great secrets must be closely linked."
"Let me think—"
Ye Yang began to think quietly.
Crisis is a crisis; danger is accompanied by opportunity, and opportunity also carries danger!
"The benefit of the Blood Luo World is the Blood Luo Crystal. To fuse with the Blood Luo Crystal, one must kill to seize it and allow evil energy to enter the body."
"The danger of fighting the natives, and the danger of evil energy invading one's consciousness and will, are two sides of the same coin as the opportunity of Blood Crystal."
"Mount Demon Sound is dangerous because of the phantom beasts and the demonic sounds. And in the place where the phantom beasts gather the most, and even where immortal phantom beasts appear, there is the inheritance palace of the Demon Sound God General."
"The demonic sound targets the soul, and so does this inheritance."
"Similarly, here, the Void Chain Cliff, whether it's an abyss or a giant chain, poses the same danger—it steals your energy without you even realizing it!"
"The secret lies within this phenomenon. What is stealing energy? Where does the stolen energy go? How do we deal with this stealing?"
"And why do those immortals have to endure such hardship in a place like this?"
"Previously, on that cliff, a large number of immortals were engaged in arduous cultivation. I saw that they were all cultivating at a depth of over 5000 kilometers."
"No one has ever ventured more than 5000 kilometers below. Does this mean that even the power of immortal gods can be seized from this abyss?"
"If that's the case, then what are the immortal gods after? What is it that these immortals crave?"
Based on this information, Ye Yang gradually came to a guess:
"What the immortals are willing to risk losing their divine bodies for—is most likely an item that can accelerate the recovery of their divine bodies!"
"Something that can enhance communication with the Sea of Laws, the very source of the universe!"
