Chapter 1028 – Terror

The reason Abyssal Kings were formidable was that they were acknowledged by the will of the abyss. Perhaps this explanation was a bit too general, but in other terms it could be said that Abyssal Kings had obtained the vital energy of the abyss and had become a part of it.

In borrowing the strength of the Nightmare King, Cangwu was the equivalent of the Nightmare King’s incarnation for as long as he could withstand it. He could borrow the Nightmare King’s strength to summon the abyss to arrive here.

This arrival was different from the distorted abyss world that appeared in the private school’s backyard. Now, a portion of the abyss’ will had directly descended, turning the city into a part of the abyss.

Until the will of the abyss retreated, this was the abyss!

…

On a long street, standing behind a tall steamed bun steamer, a neatly dressed stall owner’s mouth cracked open bit by bit, revealing the pale gums hidden inside. Saliva and blood mixed together and started to drip down.

“Customer, these are hot steamed buns. If they aren’t delicious then you don’t need to pay at all. Would you like one?” The vendor lifted the steamer and revealed human heads that were being steamed into a pulp. However, the heads hadn’t died. Their faces twisted in pain as they cried out in sorrow.

The cultivator standing in front of the vendor immediately paled. This was because he discovered that one of the heads in the steamer was exactly the same as his own.

He frantically waved his hand and flipped over the steamer. Taking a step back, the cultivator ran away in a panic.

The vendor’s horrifying face turned fierce. “Where are you going? Without you, how am I going to steam these buns? Grab him for me!”

The steamed human heads flew out from the steamer that was rolling on the ground, screaming “Stay, Stay!” as they chased the fleeing cultivator.

…

A fierce face appeared on a sturdy and thick wooden trunk. It opened its mouth to reveal rows of sharp fangs and issued a violent and bloodthirsty roar.

The root system that was drilled deeply into the ground was completely pulled out. After the abyss appeared, they became something similar to tentacles. They wove together like a massive grinding pan, rumbling as it pushed the big tree forward.

The dense and numerous branches grew long spikes on the end. Even in the darkness, one could still clearly feel the cold light they released. They were like incomparably sharp thorns that stabbed at the crowd.

A cultivator erupted with dazzling light. But, he never imagined that this abyssal demonized tree would actually be able to intercept the trajectory of his dodge. When he reappeared, a wooden branch had pierced through his chest.

“Ahh!” He cried out in pain. While his body had been pierced through, the powerful vitality of a cultivator prevented him from dying here.

As he struggled, a sword appeared in his hand. He chopped down at the branch. The sword cracked and the wooden branch was almost severed. With just one more strike he would be able to do it.

But the cultivator no longer had any chances to continue. Branches howled towards him from all directions, turning him into a porcupine in a breath of time.

In the next moment, his corpse was dragged into the gaping mouth of the face on the tree.

Chewing sounds echoed out as bloody water spewed onto the ground.

…

Yun Feng, Jiang Yuanyi, and the others all paled. They hid in a house, an array disc floating above their heads. It had been activated and the array formation strengthened and supported the house as it blocked the impact of outside attacks.

Hou –

Hou –

Constrained roars endlessly assaulted their ears. The house constantly shook and groaned.

The windows had been destroyed. Looking through the translucent barrier of the array formation, one could clearly see the countless fierce ghosts that were attacking the array formation in a frenzy.

And they all knew that these ghost-like beings had previously been the harmless natives of the city.

When the abyss arrived, they were corroded by its power. Or to be more exact, the abyssal strength within their bodies was drawn out and they became the incarnations of the abyssal beings that devoured and destroyed all flesh and blood beings.

“Come out! You cannot escape!”

“I will grab you all and tear you to shreds! Then I will slowly eat you up so that you become a part of the abyss!”

“Don’t struggle. You should all be aware that there is no meaning to this. All that awaits you in the end is death!”

In the room, Yun Feng and the others paled further. Before, they had to use all their methods in order to escape here and activate this array disc. Although they had no idea what was happening, after experiencing the private school’s backyard becoming a manifestation of the abyss, they knew what this sight in front of them meant.

The entire city had become the abyss. And the most terrifying thing was that the natives who originally lived in this city had become horrifying abyssal beings.

There was no place that was safe. This was already their final place of retreat.

But no matter how strong the array disc was, it couldn’t withstand the tsunami-like onslaught of the abyssal beings forever. How long could they last for?

Once the array disc shattered, all that awaited them was the tragic fate of being torn to pieces!

…

If someone flew in the skies and looked down at the city, they would discover that it had become a carnival for ghosts and demons.

The transformed abyssal beings raged and viciously attacked the cultivators that came here, ripping them apart and eating them up.

But there was an exception.

The private school was covered in a light layer of white light. Although it wasn’t that bright, it contained an inconceivable might. It isolated out the corrosion of the abyss so that this place maintained its original appearance.

The teacher surnamed Xu stood at the front courtyard of the empty private school. Light emitted from every pore of his body.

He was the source of the light that covered the private school. He looked up at the ink-black skies and slowly said, “Qin Yu, remember that you only have one chance. If you fail here, then be buried together forever with me.”

After giving one final glance at the familiar private school he had spent so many years in, the teacher closed his eyes.

Whoosh –

Whoosh –

𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

The white light that covered the entire private school howled back. Then, the teacher turned into a mass of brilliant light that fell on Qin Yu’s chest and merged into his body.

Bang –

An incomparably powerful aura burst free from his body. At this moment, Qin Yu felt as if he was the center of the heavens and earth.

No. It was like even the heavens and earth had to crawl on the floor and prostrate to his will.

With just a thought, he could control all!

Pure Summer and Peaceful Nun’s eyes widened with disbelief. This method of directly integrating power was beyond their imagination.

In their senses, Qin Yu was like a great blazing sun. Any flames that came from him were enough to burn them down into nothingness.

Such a formidable strength still wasn’t enough to suppress the power of the abyss? How terrifying was the Abyssal King who had been slain in the past!?

In truth, Qin Yu soon solved the doubts in his heart.

The Nightmare King’s strength had been borrowed by Cangwu. Cangwu temporarily became the incarnation of the Nightmare King and summoned a part of the abyss to arrive here.

Because of this, the power of the abyss was temporarily separated from the city. This was the reason it was able to integrate into Qin Yu’s body, allowing him to use it for the time being.

But fundamentally speaking, both sides were in an inseparable condition. The final victor would be able to swallow the other.

Of course, this was only in normal conditions. It was obvious that this city still had a trump card where it could self-destruct and pull the Abyssal King into a deep sleep with it.

Correspondingly, even if he won in the end, Qin Yu didn’t believe he could easily swallow the source of the Abyssal King.

But it was too early to consider such things, because only the victor should be worried about how to digest the opponent.

Qin Yu took a deep breath and looked up into the distance. He could feel the formidable yin chill aura there that emanated an inexhaustible level of cruelty and hate.

This was the strength of an Abyssal King? While he already had some assumptions in his mind, only after experiencing it himself did he understand how terrifying it was.

Even in Qin Yu’s current state, this was a powerful existence that still caused him to feel dread and fear.

In fact, he even clearly felt suffocated!

Bang –

A loud explosion rang out in the distance. Even though he was far away, the sound still pierced through his eardrums and dove straight into his soul.

Rumble –

Rumble –

Black clouds wove together in the skies and fiercely tumbled. The incomparably terrifying aura that came from them swept out in all directions.

In the city, the countless natives that had transformed into abyssal beings suddenly shivered and fell to the ground. Their bodies trembled as they pasted themselves tightly to the floor. This was their Supreme King, and they were expressing their awe and submission.

Hou –

The roar was like a thunderclap. A billowing voice spread throughout the skies of the city. The abyssal beings suddenly raised their heads, and the craziness in their ice-cold eyes became even more intense.

Because at this time, they had received the will of their King – to tear apart all living beings and destroy all. They would completely ruin this place that had imprisoned the power of the abyss for countless years!

The abyssal beings that had been restraining their desires went completely crazy. They acted according to their instincts and their keen sense of smell, desperately besieging all of the cultivators in the city.

“Ahhh!” A cultivator was submerged in abyssal beings. Despair shined in his eyes. As he cried out loud, the aura in his body began to riot and storm out.

Then, with a heaven-shaking explosion, he blew apart. The countless pieces of his body were mixed together with the explosive strength, tearing apart all nearby abyssal beings and dragging them into the grave with him.

But a moment later, the blank region created by that self-explosion had once again filled up with abyssal beings that crazily swallowed flesh and blood.

Whether it was the flesh and blood person that blew himself up or even their fallen comrades, they chewed and swallowed anything in their way.

And this scene was not an exception. Throughout the entire city and within a dozen breaths of time, the abyssal beings had killed almost half of the cultivators. The rest of them, such as Yun Feng and Jiang Yuanyi, were barely managing to endure.

If a favorable turn didn’t appear, then they would soon all die in this current situation!

Cangwu stepped through the void, black flames burning all over his body. Sharp horns drilled out from the top of his head and fine and delicate lines had emerged over his skin. They covered every inch of his body, revealing endless majesty and dignity.

His eyes were faint. He was like a being that stood amidst the highest heavens, coldly looking down at the city that had become a living hell.

The essence energy prepared by the King for the clan had already been taken away by that human. Now, he needed to reduce the punishment he would have to endure. To do so, he would naturally have to condense that human race’s essence energy once more.

And this city was filled with exceptionally talented geniuses that were brimming with hopes and ambitions. These relatively strong human cultivators were the best materials for refining essence energy.

Of course, in order to obtain the tolerance and forgiveness of the abyss, a complete human essence energy could only be regarded as supplementary.

A King that was freed from his shackles and returned to the abyss was the foundation of everything!

Now, Cangwu wanted to destroy the city’s will and swallow up all of its strength.

This was it, he had arrived!

In the skies above the private school, Cangwu’s faint eyes revealed a faint fluctuation. He looked at Qin Yu on the ground and sensed the terrifying sun-like energy being released from his body. The ice-cold killing intent surging in his chest became far more wild.

It’s him!

It was really him!

That lowly and bug-like human cultivator had to be a chess piece dispatched here by the living world. As I thought, my guess wasn’t wrong. Humanity had already sensed the changes within the Path of 10,000 Souls.

So everything I did was right!

Qin Yu…Qin Yu…every accident he had encountered was because of him.

“Die!”

With a deep roar, Cangwu lifted his hands and thrust down. He would use Qin Yu’s death to mark a perfect ending to this period!
