Chapter 227 Purgatory Abyss, Time Acceleration
Ye Yang re-examined himself:
The second human clone, at the ninth level of the Domain Lord realm, is limited in level by the second Golden Horn clone. Furthermore, the second Golden Horn clone, using the optimal metal combination, will need approximately 27 more years to reach the Realm Lord level.
In terms of understanding the laws, I have thoroughly comprehended the 108 spatial essences and the first 62 temporal essences.
The laws of time are still missing 46 essential mysteries, leaving 77 years remaining before the 100-year time limit given by the Lord of Chaos City.
Ten years ago, Ye Yang had already gained recognition from the fundamental laws of fire.
As for my understanding of the Ouroboros concept, it hasn't improved significantly in a long time.
Overall, the achievements over the past 21 years are still gratifying.
Ye Yang calculated the time: "There are still 4 years until the qualification battle for members of the universe-level primordial secret realm. I need to prepare and finish the remaining cultivation tasks as soon as possible."
He has already placed his second resurrection point in the altar space of the Seven Flames Palace. Whenever he wants to observe the phantom of flames, he can use resurrection to refresh his body there at any time.
So it doesn't matter if I leave the Seven Flames Palace now.
Ye Yang received 1.5 points for submitting the Seven Flames Palace cultivation task.
The dangerous mission world is the Flame and Ice Continent, where the natives are skilled in the laws of water and fire. They are divided into countless tribes of all sizes, and these tribes form alliances to fight each other.
The two largest factions are the Blazing Continent and the Swimming Soul Continent. The faction name "Continent" represents their desire to completely eliminate the opposing faction and transform the "Flame and Ice Continent" into a continent that belongs entirely to their own faction!
Ye Yang descended upon this continent, completed his cultivation mission within a month, and explored for about a year, discovering the great secret hidden within the 'Immortal Elder Council' of these two major factions.
Unfortunately, this alerted the indigenous immortals, and the clones were destroyed multiple times, ending the exploration mission in failure.
Ye Yang submitted the task and received 2 points.
Ye Yang completed two missions in 19 days at the dangerous Blue Cloud Cave. However, the subsequent exploration yielded no results after six months, so he gave up.
The two tasks in Blue Cloud Cave total 6 points.
Three and a half years passed in the blink of an eye, and Ye Yang completed four more dangerous-level cultivation missions.
A total of 12 points were earned.
Members of the Primal Realm can accept a maximum of 3 Extreme-level missions, and a maximum of 10 missions every 100 years.
Before this qualifying battle, Ye Yang had already completed nine cultivation missions, including Blood Luo Continent, Void Cliff, Dragon Tower Star, Cloud Palace, Seven Flame Palace, Flame Ice Continent, and Blue Cloud Deep Cave.
With one last chance to accept a mission, Ye Yang decided to take on a critical mission.
He planned to explore the Demon Mountain and the Frost Mountain to see if there was anything like the "Inheritance of the Frost God General".
The "Purgatory Abyss," a top-ranked mission with the highest score and the highest mortality rate, particularly piqued Ye Yang's curiosity. Ye Yang made his decision: "Compared to other missions, the Purgatory Abyss is more interesting. In the last six months before the qualifying battle, I'll venture into the Purgatory Abyss to find out."
What makes the unknown so fascinating is its mystery and danger.
"Your Highness, this is the Abyss of Purgatory, the place that has devoured the lives of countless core members of the virtual universe."
On a satellite 54 billion kilometers away from the Abyss of Purgatory, Ye Yang, guided by his guide, gazes at the vast continent 54 billion kilometers away.
This continent is over 10 billion kilometers long and wide, and in the middle there is a rift that is nearly 95 billion kilometers long and 100 billion kilometers wide at its widest point.
This width is enough to contain half of the solar system, including Jupiter.
The fissure is an abyss, like a beadless eye growing on the continent.
The guide pointed to the continent and said, "Because of the existence of the Abyss of Purgatory, this continent is also known as the Abyss Continent. It is filled with a special death aura, and ordinary life cannot reproduce normally on it."
"Only a few special and bizarre life forms can survive and reproduce in this harsh environment."
"Half of the deadly threats in the Abyss of Purgatory come from these strange creatures. Many of these monsters possess bizarre talents that can easily kill even ordinary human realm lords."
Through the guide's introduction, Ye Yang also learned that most of those who came to challenge the Abyss of the Primordial City were members of the Primordial Zone or the Primal Zone, and they must have been extremely confident in themselves to dare to enter.
Even so, the mortality rate was as high as 99%!
The members of the Primordial Secret Realm and the Primal Secret Realm in the Virtual Universe are not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry; they are the most outstanding geniuses of the human race!
But 99% of those who dared to enter this abyss of purgatory died.
This is clearly a terrifying place.
After making all the preparations, Ye Yang entered his spaceship and headed towards the edge of that vast continent.
He soon arrived over the continent, drove to one end of the rift, and landed.
"Ahead lies the 'West Abyss Pass.' Entering this pass means truly entering the realm of the Purgatory Abyss."
As soon as Ye Yang landed, he felt the immense gravitational pull of this continent.
He arrived at Xiyuan Pass.
This enormous pass was built on an extremely high mountain wall, with sheer cliffs on both sides that seemed to reach straight into the starry sky, covered in blue stone scales.
Behind the pass, a winding, narrow path can be seen stretching into the distance, before being obscured at a bend.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Yang stepped inside.
However, just after crossing Xiyuan Pass, he almost suffered a serious injury.
Ye Yang said with some surprise, "The gravity of the outer continent is already strong enough, but I didn't expect that the gravity inside would increase by tens of thousands of times! This is at least 1000 times the gravitational acceleration on the surface of a white dwarf star."
It is also thanks to the fact that the matter here is filled with primordial energy of the universe, unlike ordinary matter, that it has not collapsed.
Having quickly adapted to the environment, Ye Yang continued forward, but at a much slower pace.
And you can gradually feel a strange pulling sensation acting inside and outside your body.
"Time? That's strange."
Sensing the anomaly in this spacetime, Ye Yang stopped. He was extremely sensitive to his environment, and he sensed danger emanating from this place.
However, if you turn your head, you can still see Xiyuan Pass.
"Let's delve deeper."
Ye Yang was highly focused, and dared not underestimate this infamous abyss of purgatory.
His exceptional mental state allows him to grasp every subtle change in himself and his environment, enabling him to exert his perception and abilities beyond the norm.
After traveling over a hundred kilometers, Ye Yang's eyes narrowed. "I knew something felt off—it was the flow of time!"
"The flow of time I am in now is one-thousandth faster than the flow of time outside."
This place is far enough away from Xiyuan Pass. While maintaining his senses, Ye Yang secretly probed downwards with his mental power, used the extraction function of the Gate of All Heavens to dig a hole, and then moved the first resurrection point inside.
Then continue onward.
The cliffs on both sides gradually opened up, turning from a narrow path into a plain tens of kilometers wide.
However, it was also much deeper, and the starry sky above had become an extremely thin slit, almost impossible to see clearly.
Soon, Ye Yang saw the skeleton of a gigantic beast, tens of kilometers long, lying by the roadside.
"The skeleton of a World Lord-level demon beast?"
As Ye Yang ventured deeper, more and more skeletons appeared by the roadside, including human remains, various birds and beasts, as well as strangely shaped crystal powders, black humanoid marks, and sticky, foul-smelling black mud.
Through his perception of "Resonance Spacetime," Ye Yang could vaguely sense countless tiny, pulsating life forms within the mud pit. They were very well hidden, and Ye Yang's mental energy swept over them without finding a single one.
The quest in the Abyss is to kill a "Silverwing" and obtain its pair of silver wings. Although there's only one quest...
But it's worth 100 million points!
"Could the unidentified creature beneath this black mud be our mission target?"
The company's materials only stated that the larvae of the silver oyster live underwater, but did not specify whether it was clear water or muddy water.
Ye Yang sensed the dense life force below. Although he knew the chances were slim, he couldn't help but want to give it a try.
So he used his telekinesis to lift a stone from a distance and threw it in.
Heh!
As if a cesspool had been blown up, countless eyeballs shot out from the black mud. These eyeballs had a pair of transparent wings, and their pupils possessed an incomparably strange magic that could drag any life consciousness that dared to meet their gaze into eternal darkness.
"No, it's not 'Silver Wing'."
Ye Yang was startled and secretly retreated, hiding behind a rock. He used "Resonance Spacetime" to conceal his energy fluctuations within the spacetime fluctuations, blending his aura into the environment.
This strange thing doesn't look like something to be trifled with; it's best not to provoke it any further.
The Abyss of Purgatory is unlike any other place; the danger level here is far too high.
After these eye-shaped monsters flew around aimlessly but couldn't find their target, they had no choice but to return to the mud and restore the previous calm.
Ye Yang then continued to advance deeper into the abyss.
We also encountered many strange creatures along the way.
If they can attach themselves to a skeleton, they automatically form nematodes similar to muscle and fascia tissue. Countless nematodes cling to a skeleton, miraculously transforming it into the shape the skeleton had in life, and wandering around.
For example, the group of 'white cloths' that Ye Yang encountered by chance—any life force that dared to move at high speed in front of these white cloths…
Tens of millions of white cloths will swarm up and wrap around the fast-moving creature.
Once the white cloth is unfurled, only a skeleton or an empty shell will remain.
These creatures are either bizarre and twisted, or possess unexpected abilities.
The key is that they are usually extremely adapted to the local environment, or become part of it. Unsuspecting people are easily caught off guard on their first visit. Moreover, these creatures are quite powerful, at least at the domain lord or world lord level.
Ye Yang was extremely careful, avoiding touching anything he shouldn't along the way, and only searching for his target, "Silver Wing".
Even so, the human clone died once.
He escaped with his life thanks to the full power of the first Golden Horn clone, but was seriously injured as a result.
"This is outrageous! What kind of monster is that invisible and intangible thing?"
"My first Golden Horn clone, activating the power of Blood Luo, can achieve a 1-fold increase in life gene multiplier and a 100-fold increase in spatial law compatibility. Even with the use of the innate secret technique 'Spatial Strangulation,' it still couldn't kill that invisible and shadowless monster."
"I almost got killed too."
Ye Yang hid in a temporarily safe place and slowly recovered from his injuries.
But he soon noticed that time was flowing at 1.3 times faster here than outside.
If he didn't have a clone outside, he wouldn't have been able to perceive the difference in the flow of time.
"A natural time acceleration zone? If there weren't so many dangers here, it might even be considered a treasure trove," Ye Yang murmured.
