Chapter 643 The Abyss's Array

"This is the depths of the abyss..."

Before Su Ping stands a massive, ancient bronze gate.

The door is carved with strange, lifelike beasts that seem to be looking down at the world before them.

An ancient and wild aura emanated from the door, as if it had stood there for tens of thousands of years.

At this moment, the bronze gate was not completely closed; there was a crack. Su Ping's consciousness extended into it, but there was no aura of a king beast behind the gate.

"This monster's dwelling place actually has a door..."

Su Ping was somewhat puzzled; this was clearly not forged by a demon beast.

Could it be that in the earliest times, those top pet masters drove these monsters here and built this gate to suppress and seal them off?

It seems that this is the only explanation.

Su Ping didn't think any further and his figure blurred.

Whoosh!

He flashed instantly, passing through that tiny crack in the door.

In other parts of this bronze gate, strange forces surround it, making it impossible to teleport directly there.

If the giant gate is sealed shut, Su Ping will have no choice but to push it open and enter.

Upon reaching the back of the door, Su Ping found himself in front of a passageway covered in slime, spiderwebs, animal carcasses, and dried blood. The passageway emitted a foul odor, sloped downwards, and was devoid of light.

Having been raised in a completely dark environment, Su Ping felt no discomfort. Relying on his senses to discern his surroundings, he and the little skeleton carefully descended the passage together.

This passage is extremely wide, with a diameter of four or five hundred meters. Even four or five large royal beasts side by side can pass through it.

In this enormous passage, Su Ping was like a thieving ant.

From the depths of the passage, waves of scorching air emanated intermittently, as if the entire passage were a gaping maw, breathing continuously.

Su Ping carefully extended his perception to its maximum extent. As he went deeper, he soon reached the end of the passage, where a blazing firelight illuminated the entrance.

At the bottom of the passage lies a scorching world of lava.

There are no forks in the road here, only a flat rocky area with strange rocks standing tall. It is incredibly vast, stretching for hundreds of kilometers, and the boundaries are hard to see!

The rock walls were reddish-brown, and the air temperature was at least 80 or 90 degrees Celsius.

Some huge skeletons were scattered around the rocky outskirts, indicating that the competition among the monsters here was extremely fierce.

"There's no aura of a royal beast here either..."

Su Ping discovered that there was no trace of a royal beast within his perception range.

Even the king beast deepest within has left…

Su Ping frowned, but without hesitation, he concealed his aura and moved forward quickly.

As Su Ping ventured deeper, he discovered that the surrounding temperature was rising. The ground beneath his feet was crimson rock, some of which had been scorched by the high temperature and turned into crimson crystals. On some rock walls, rare crystals were clustered and protruding like sharp blades.

Some crystals may not have any special properties, but their beautiful appearance can make them fetch exorbitant prices on the market, measured in grams.

Having been trained in the Golden Crow World, Su Ping didn't react much to the high temperature. The little skeleton had also undergone extreme high-temperature environment training in other cultivation worlds, so its heat resistance was either top-notch or high-level, and it showed no reaction to this temperature.

Compared to the Golden Crow World, this place is quite cool.

Suddenly, Su Ping stopped. On a rock wall ahead, a crimson beast lay, resembling a giant lizard, hundreds of meters long, with bright red scales covering its body. It was perched on crystals, and at first glance, it looked like a rock or crystal object.

The monster appears to be fast asleep.

"He's actually at the Void Realm..."

Su Ping frowned slightly. He had never seen this kind of monster before, but the aura it exuded was not to be underestimated.

The monsters we encountered up there were all at the Vast Ocean Realm, but here, even a random one we met was at the Void Cave Realm!

Although his exceptional fire resistance makes him a nemesis of fire-type monsters, the abyss is too vast, and Su Ping has yet to see the boundary of the opposite rock wall, so he dares not act recklessly.

Take a detour!

Su Ping chose to go around it, making a bend that stretched for dozens of miles before continuing straight ahead.

Besides the crimson giant lizard king beast, Su Ping soon encountered another king beast, which was playing in a lava pool with two cubs beside it. The larger one had an extremely terrifying aura, and it was actually at the Heavenly Fate Realm!

Su Ping was somewhat surprised. Demonic beasts at the Heavenly Fate Realm were all of the same caliber as those at the Other Shore Realm on the surface of the earth, and there were only a handful of them in the entire world!

Here, I unexpectedly ran into him in the blink of an eye!

"The Thousand-Eyed Rakshasa Beast that fought us in the corridor above was also at the Heavenly Fate Realm. With this one, that makes two now..."

Su Ping felt heavy-hearted.

There are only twelve Void Realm cultivators in the Peak Tower!

And a single person at the Heavenly Fate Realm is comparable to seven or eight at the Void Realm!

This still takes into account the battle pets of seven or eight Void Realm Legends. If each Void Realm Legend has three Void Realm demonic beasts, that's equivalent to more than twenty Void Realm combatants!

However, they will still be at a disadvantage when facing those at the Heavenly Fate Realm!

Unless they utilize formations and coordinate perfectly, there is no way they can possibly resist!

The difference of one realm is like an insurmountable chasm. These two Heavenly Fate Realm demon beasts alone are enough to give the Peak Tower a headache, not to mention the four great evil beasts on the surface!

"The Thousand-Eyed Rakshasa beast from before failed to kill the little skeleton and left the Abyss Corridor three days ago..."

From the conversation between the little skeletons, it was learned that the Thousand-Eyed Rakshasa Beast was not dead. After all, it would be difficult for the little skeletons to kill it with their own strength. The little skeletons were only at the ninth level at the moment, and it was already incredible that they could barely contend with the Heavenly Fate Realm!

The Thousand-Eyed Rakshasa Beast couldn't bite the little skeleton, so it took the opportunity to escape and gave up the chase, which allowed the little skeleton to survive.

……

Su Ping bypassed the Heavenly Fate Realm demon beast and continued forward.

Half an hour later, Su Ping encountered three more demonic beasts, all of them at the Void Realm!

Here, the vast ocean realm has become a rarity.

"Um?"

Suddenly, hundreds of miles ahead, Su Ping sensed four deeply hidden auras, all of which belonged to the Heavenly Fate Realm!

Su Ping's pupils contracted, somewhat shocked.

Four Celestial Realm demonic beasts?

Including the previous Celestial Realm beast with two cubs, there are now five here!

These five Celestial Fate Realm demonic beasts are enough to overturn the entire surface of the earth!

"All those in the Heavenly Fate Realm are Lord-level, how come they're all gathered together...?"

Su Ping felt something was strange. After hesitating for a moment, he sent his thoughts to the little skeleton and began to merge with it.

The little skeleton's figure flickered, transforming into white bones that covered Su Ping's entire body.

An explosive force instantly filled Su Ping's limbs and bones, covering his entire body with white bones, making him look like a ferocious Grim Reaper.

After merging, Su Ping quickly infiltrated the area.

With the combined amplification of the little skeleton, he can unleash his stealth technique to its fullest potential.

Soon, Su Ping entered the visible range and saw flames shooting into the sky dozens of miles away. There was a square divine array barrier there, and outside the barrier, four giant beasts, each hundreds of meters tall, lay prostrate in the four directions, seemingly guarding the divine array barrier.

"Guarded by four Celestial Fate Realm demonic beasts?"

Su Ping was somewhat alarmed.

There is a divine array deep within this abyss!

Looking at the structure of that divine array, runes occasionally flashed across its surface, and the structure of those runes resembled sealing runes!

Is this a sealing divine array?

"That's right." The system's voice appeared in Su Ping's mind.

"..."

Su Ping was startled, but quickly recovered. He was somewhat annoyed by the system, but knew there was nothing he could do about it. Moreover, the system's words confirmed his suspicions.

It really is a seal!

Su Ping often mingled with Joanna's subordinates in the Demigod's Fallen Land, gaining some knowledge in various fields. Therefore, he was able to identify the type of divine array from the faint glow of the runes on the array.

Deep within the abyss lies a divine sealing array!

Could this be the divine array that suppresses the abyss?

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Su Ping rejected it.

impossible.

If this were a divine array meant to suppress the abyss, it would have been broken long ago!

Moreover, those four Heavenly Fate Realm demonic beasts were clearly guarding this divine array, which shows that this divine array is of great importance to these demonic beasts!

only……

What is this divine array sealing?

What kind of even more terrifying monster is it? Or something else entirely?

"If it's destroyed, I wonder what will happen..." Su Ping's eyes flashed, his heart filled with anticipation.

Although he was guarded by four Heavenly Fate Realm demonic beasts, he was no longer the same as before.

Even without merging with the little skeleton, his own combat power was already comparable to that of the Heavenly Fate Realm. In fact, Su Ping felt that even an ordinary Heavenly Fate Realm cultivator might not be able to withstand his Phantom Sword Technique!

Now that the little skeleton has merged with the Heavenly Fate Realm demon beast, Su Ping didn't pay much attention.

However, Su Ping hesitated.

These four Celestial Fate Realm demonic beasts are guarding this sealing divine array, clearly they are not the masters of this abyss!

After all, two tigers cannot share one mountain. Any social creature can only have one leader, whether it is humans or monsters!

Being able to command four Celestial Fate Realm demonic beasts, this Lord of the Abyss must be even stronger. They must be either top-tier Celestial Fate Realm demonic beasts or... Starry Sky Level demonic beasts!

If it's the former, that's fine; if it's the latter, then it's extremely troublesome!

"Let's explore the surrounding area first and see if the Lord of the Deep is there." Su Ping's eyes dimmed, and he quietly retreated, bypassing the sealing array and turning to another place.

Fortunately, his stealth technique was the Divine Concealment Technique he learned from Joanna. This was a high-level divine technique, and combined with the disguise skills he had honed through countless deaths in the cultivation world, he could hide even when encountering a Heavenly Fate Realm demon beast.

However, if he encounters a Heavenly Fate Realm demon beast that is extremely adept at sensing, Su Ping might still be exposed.

Time flies.

Six hours later.

Su Ping circled almost the entire depths of the abyss.

Su Ping chose to avoid only the places where demonic beasts inhabited. Unlike the Abyss Corridor, this place was full of passages, and the battles that took place in one place were unknown to others.

Here, once a battle breaks out, it is easily detected.

Especially now that a large number of abyssal monsters have left, leaving the area extremely empty.

"A total of... eight Celestial Fate Realm cultivators!"

After the tour, Su Ping felt extremely heavy-hearted.

He saw eight of them even at the Heavenly Fate Realm level!

And this only includes the demonic beasts remaining in the depths of this abyss; he doesn't know how many Heavenly Fate Realm experts have already left.

But one thing is certain: a considerable number of people at the Heavenly Fate Realm have left this place!

After all, the Thousand-Eyed Rakshasa Beast that had ambushed them last time was not seen here.

"However, I haven't seen any Abyss Lord-level beasts. Although these eight Heavenly Fate Realm demonic beasts are strong, they probably wouldn't be my match in a one-on-one fight," Su Ping thought to himself.

He did not believe that any of these eight Celestial Fate Realm demonic beasts had the ability to command the other four Celestial Fate Realm beasts.

It is clear that the Lord of the Abyss has already left!

"We can give that sealing formation a try."

With the Lord of the Abyss absent, Su Ping's thoughts began to stir again.

He used his secret technique of invisibility to once again lurk dozens of miles away from the sealing array.

The four demonic beasts remained lying around the sealing array, some fast asleep, others idly flicking their tails.

"Wait, could the Lord of the Abyss be sealed inside this sealing array?" Su Ping suddenly had this thought, feeling that there was a slight possibility.

If that's the case, wouldn't his rash attack just release the Lord of the Abyss?

But he quickly dismissed the idea.

If the Lord of the Abyss is sealed, how can he command those four Heavenly Fate Realm demonic beasts?

Could it be that the seal has loosened and is being breached through divine thought?

Or perhaps, long ago, the Lord of the Abyss was sealed away, and these Heavenly Fate Realm demonic beasts have been guarding their clan's king ever since?

Su Ping became more and more conflicted as she thought about it.

Although the possibility is very low, even the slightest possibility could lead to a major problem.

Suddenly, Su Ping stopped struggling with her decision.

Even if the Lord of the Abyss is indeed inside this sealing array, the fact that he needs a Heavenly Fate Realm demon beast to guard it means that this sealing array cannot be easily destroyed!

In other words, breaking the sealing array would definitely be disadvantageous for these demonic beasts!

No matter what's sealed inside, it will lead to bad consequences!

Thinking of this, Su Ping's eyes lit up, and his energy surged within him, ready to make a move.

But at that moment, Su Ping suddenly noticed that next to the sealing array, there was a patch of magma, and as the magma churned, a crimson scale several meters in size was revealed.

Su Ping was taken aback, and his expression changed slightly.

Those scales contain a surging vitality!

Those aren't dead scales; they're living things!

Either it was just plucked, or its owner is still alive and constantly supplying the scales with life energy!

"Could it be...?"

Su Ping's eyes kept changing. In the world of cultivation, he had encountered a situation where a monster placed a feather in its lair. He thought that since the monster was not at home, he could steal the cubs. However, in the blink of an eye, the feather transformed into a monster and killed him.

This is a power that only those at the Star Realm level can control: instantaneous teleportation!

As long as there is a medium, you can be instantly teleported to a place, even from the North Pole to the South Pole!

The scales before me clearly resemble a medium!

If something happens here, the true form of the scales can be teleported here!

Besides the four Heavenly Fate Realm demonic beasts outside, there's also the owner of these scales. Given their importance, what exactly is this sealing array sealing?

Even these abyssal monsters are afraid that the divine array will be destroyed, releasing what is sealed within.

"If the sabotage fails, it will alert the enemy, making it harder to come back in the future," Su Ping thought to himself. After much deliberation, he decided to give up.

The most pressing issue to address is the abyssal monsters on Earth.

This sealing array can perhaps be used to restrain these abyssal monsters at a crucial moment. If we act now and fail, this place will definitely be heavily guarded, and it will be difficult to succeed again then.
