I bear witness to immortality in the human world.

They returned to the Demon-Subduing Realm once again.

Wu Ming went straight to the Hall of Laws, entered the hall, and stepped forward.

The laws of slaughter within the hall constantly shifted, sometimes resembling billions of swords and spears, sometimes like raging waves, and sometimes like a whirlwind sweeping away clouds. His eyes flickered as he continuously observed and comprehended them.

He had been to the Hall of Laws countless times and had pondered its meaning here countless times. His understanding of the Law of Slaughter, which had reached its current level, was almost inseparable from the insights he gained here.

But the laws of killing ultimately have their unique aspects.

Simply observing and comprehending is not enough to fully grasp its true meaning. This was the case when he comprehended the second step of the Law of Slaughter. Comprehension can only get you to the threshold, but to truly cross that threshold, you need to personally verify it.

However, Wu Ming was not in a hurry.

Now, he can be said to have endless time. After mastering the third step of the Thunder Law, his strength has greatly increased. Even without going through the nine tribulations of decline and proving immortality, his strength is already enough to crush a peak Dao Saint. If he goes all out to activate the supreme treasure, the Eye of Thunder, he can even have a chance against a true immortal being.

With his strength greatly improved and the bottleneck in his realm no longer existing, Wu Ming's mind can be said to have become more transcendent. This transcendent state of mind also made it easier and more relaxed for him to comprehend the laws.

Furthermore, the complete essence of the Law of Slaughter presented in the Law Hall allows one to directly grasp the core of the Law of Slaughter. Therefore, Wu Ming only took forty-seven years to comprehend the Law of Slaughter and reach the bottleneck of the third step.

"We've reached a bottleneck."

Wu Ming stood with his hands behind his back inside the Law Hall, the murderous light in his eyes quietly receding.

He has already comprehended and deduced the Law of Slaughter in every direction to the extreme that can be deduced at present, reaching the point where there is no way to go further. However, if he wants to truly go further, completely integrate and master the third step of the Law of Slaughter, he still needs to personally experience slaughter to verify his own path.

"It's time to go to that place."

Wu Ming's eyes were deep and profound.

He already had a clear and definite path to comprehend the third step of the Law of Slaughter long before he had fully grasped the Law of Thunder. Now, having pushed the Law of Slaughter to the limit of the second step within the Law Hall, he can finally begin the next step.

There was only one place he wanted to go to: a very special place within the Shattered Realm.

Its name is—Purgatory Abyss!
This is a special shattered realm that rivals the Thunder Prison Abyss. Rumor has it that this realm is related to the last immortal emperor of ancient times, the 'Black Emperor', and the dangers within it far surpass those of the Thunder Prison Abyss!

This danger does not come from the Abyss of Purgatory itself, but from all living beings that go to the Abyss of Purgatory.

The abyss of purgatory.

As the name suggests, this place is purgatory!

This realm has only two rules. First, the realm is filled with malevolent energy, giving rise to countless ferocious creatures. Fighting against these ferocious creatures and walking on the edge of life and death naturally allows one to gain a deeper understanding of one's own path.

Secondly, all living beings who step into this realm will be affected by it. If they fight each other, as long as one of them can kill the other, they will receive feedback from the Abyss of Purgatory and draw a trace of pure yang blood essence from the abyss!
This pure Yang blood aura is the most extreme form of malevolent energy in the world. Even a Dao Saint, after slaughtering millions of living beings and refining it for thousands of years, would find it difficult to condense even a single wisp. However, in the Abyss of Purgatory, it can be obtained directly by killing other living beings. For a Dao Saint, this pure Yang blood aura is the most refined spiritual substance for tempering their primordial spirit; for a Martial Saint, it is the most perfect energy for tempering their physical body. If one obtains enough, it will greatly benefit anyone!
Therefore,

The abyss of purgatory is extremely dangerous!
Those who step into the Abyss of Purgatory are either individuals with extreme confidence in their own strength, the most powerful figures among Dao Saints and Martial Saints, who kill wantonly here, accumulating pure Yang blood essence to temper themselves and pursue the immortal Dao.

Another type is the Dao Saint and Martial Saint who are not confident of surviving the next tribulation and whose lifespan is nearing its end. They can foresee that they will perish in the next tribulation, so they come to the Abyss of Purgatory to make a final life-or-death struggle!
If one can crawl out of purgatory, then one has won a sliver of hope in the world!
If we cannot climb out, then we will die here.

In this battlefield, everyone is fighting for a sliver of hope and for their own path to enlightenment. Therefore, unlike the Thunder Prison Abyss, there are no places in the Purgatory Abyss where one can meditate and comprehend. Here, there is only the purest struggle and slaughter!

Wu Ming had long heard of the infamous Purgatory Abyss, but he had been focused on comprehending the Law of Thunder. Now that he had perfected his understanding of the Law of Thunder and taken the third step, only the Law of Slaughter remained. With the final leap to take him there, it was finally time for him to venture into the Purgatory Abyss.

Now,

Wu Ming quietly left the seclusion.

Without alerting anyone, he only sent a message to the Qingming Peak Master before gracefully arriving at the main hall of the Holy Land.

"Uncle Qiu."

"Please activate the formation and send me to the Abyss of Purgatory."

Wu Ming saw the familiar figure of the old man in the straw raincoat in the main hall, bowed respectfully, and then spoke directly.

The old man in the straw raincoat greeted Wu Ming with a smile, but upon hearing Wu Ming's words, he was taken aback and hesitated, saying, "The Abyss of Purgatory? Wu Ming, I know you are exceptionally talented, possess divine cultivation, and are extremely powerful. Even in the Abyss of Purgatory, you would be capable of fighting, but at your age, isn't it a bit too early for you to go there?"

Upon learning of Wu Ming's purpose, the old man in the straw raincoat immediately tried to dissuade him.

The name of the Purgatory Abyss is well known to every Dao Saint and Martial Saint. It is also the final destination of almost all Dao Saints and Martial Saints. Anyone who is nearing the end of their lifespan and has exhausted all their strength and potential will go there to fight for a last chance of survival. Those peak Dao Saints and peak Martial Saints who have reached the eighth tribulation will also go to the Purgatory Abyss to fight before the final tribulation.

He did not doubt Wu Ming's strength. After all, Wu Ming had already made a great name for himself in the Thunder Prison Abyss. Although the first tribulation had not yet arrived, his strength was at least at the peak of the seventh tribulation, and might even be comparable to the eighth tribulation Dao Saint.

Even if he were to enter the abyss of purgatory, Wu Ming would still be a being capable of wreaking havoc at will.

But the problem is...

Wu Ming is too young.

With Wu Ming's current strength, passing through seven tribulations is a piece of cake. He still has at least seven or eight thousand years left in the world, so he can cultivate and experience at his own pace. It won't be too late to go to the Abyss of Purgatory when he faces the ninth tribulation.

To be so eager to go to the Abyss of Purgatory now seems far too hasty to him. (End of Chapter)
