Chapter 461 Ch 461: What is Abyss?

The place where Ling Xiaolong was standing was a sinister and foreboding realm, enveloped in perpetual darkness and saturated with malevolent energy. This land was completely barren and desolate, devoid of any signs of life or growth. Jagged, obsidian-like stony formations jut out from the ground, casting eerie shadows that dance in the dim red light.

A thick, suffocating mist hung heavy in the air, its tendrils twisting and writhing with an otherworldly presence. The atmosphere was thick with the stench of decay and corruption, assaulting Ling Xiaolong's senses with an oppressive weight.

The sky above was a deep crimson hue, as if it was stained with blood. Swirling clouds of darkness obscure any glimpse of stars, lending an ominous and unsettling ambiance to the surroundings.

Throughout the land, menacing structures rise from the bleak terrain, their architecture twisted and contorted into grotesque shapes that defy reason. These structures serve as the lairs and strongholds of the Abyssals, their presence looming over the desolate landscape like silent sentinels of darkness.

The land is fraught with danger at every turn, with Abyssals lurking in the shadows, ready to strike at any moment.

The instant Ling Xiaolong appeared, every Abyssal's attention was attracted to him.

"A human?"

"How did a human come here?"

"He must have opened the Gate that was prepared to summon our Emperor into Chaos."

"But... How did he open the gate? Even Masters of Abyss... I mean, even Masters of Chaos could not come closer to the Gate. How did he do it?"

"I think he must have obtained those two eyes and thought that he could obtain treasures here. No matter the reason, let's kill him."

"Hahaha! Yes! Let's go!"

At first, Ling Xiaolong did not notice them because his attention was attracted to the gate that suddenly disappeared for some unknown reason. However, he soon noticed the presence of hundreds of thousands of powerful abyssals. They seemed to be coming at him in a tide.

"Umm... The owner of that threatening presence is definitely there. Why is he not coming? Could it be that he thinks these Abyssals could kill me?" Ling Xiaolong muttered with a deep frown, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

"Whatever, I'll just get rid of all the Abyssals!"

Ling Xiaolong muttered and stepped forward, ready to face all the Abyssals.

Very soon, a large tide of Abyssals appeared in his sight. These Abyssals had various shapes and sizes. The only common thing was that every one of them was powerful, extremely powerful. nove(l)bi(n.)com

The weakest of them was a Celestial Sovereign. However, the number of celestial sovereigns was too few among this army of abyssals. Other than a selected few Celestial Sovereigns, 90% of Abyssals were Masters of Chaos.

"So many Masters of Chaos?"

Ling Xiaolong was genuinely shocked, he could not believe his eyes. There were simply too many Masters of Chaos Realm Abyssals. Moreover, several Abyssals had even surpassed Level 30 in this army.

It was a formidable army. If they were to truly invade the Lands, chaos would engulf everything, heralding the end of true Chaos.

"Hehehe!"

In Chaos, no matter what race a person comes from, they could all cultivate Chaos Energy, Celestial Energy, and Origin Energy. However, these energies never touch the soul nor do they make the soul impure.

However, if Abyssal Energy invades a warrior of any race, this enemy not only infects the body of that warrior but also their soul. It contaminates the soul and destroys it.

Abyssals could not cultivate any of the above energies. They cultivate Abyssal Energy from the very beginning to the peak. To Abyssals, Abyssal Energy is their everything. That is why, their souls remain pure regardless of how much Abyssal Energy is present inside their body.

It is also the reason Ling Xiaolong devoured Abyssal's soul without thinking too much. The abyssal's soul was dark, but the soul force present in his soul was pure.

Moreover, since Ling Xiaolong had devoured the soul, even if Abyssal Energy was present, it would have been completely under Ling Xiaolong's control.

After devouring the soul, Ling Xiaolong started refining it and very soon, a large amount of Soul Force was added to his ocean-like soul force.

Other than that, a large amount of memories also appeared in Ling Xiaolong's mind. He did not choose to see all the memories, he first separated them in portions and wiped out 90% of the memories.

The rest of the memories were very important.

As Ling Xiaolong started going through these memories one by one, several expressions appeared on his face. For a moment, if someone looked at him, they would have doubted their eyes. It is because the continuous changing of expressions made it as if Ling Xiaolong's face was distorting.

After what seemed to be an eternity for Ling Xiaolong but was only a few minutes in reality, Ling Xiaolong's expression finally calmed down.

However, he still could not describe how he felt in his heart.

It turned out that everything he had been thinking about Abyssals from the start was wrong. It was a complete lie.

Why were Abyssals hated by Chaos?

People might think it is because Abyssals are the embodiment of darkness and slaughter. They are dark, malevolent entities associated with calamity, destruction, and evil.

But that is not the case.

Abyssals are hated by Chaos because they are not creatures of Chaos at all. They are the invaders of Chaos.

Abyssals are being born in the Abyss.

What is Abyss?

People might say Abyss is a Land located somewhere in Chaos, or a group of Lands controlled by Abyssals. They might also say that the Abyss is a Forbidden Land due to the absence of Chaos Energy and other energies.

However, the truth is nothing like that. The reality differs greatly from such conjecture.

The truth is, the Abyss resembles Chaos itself. It is a vast void of darkness. In this vast void of darkness, there exists a single land. It is so huge that even the combination of millions of Lands could not be as big as this single Land.

Furthermore, the Abyss exists beyond the confines of Chaos, situated in the boundless expanse of darkness beyond the true Chaos.
