Yi Yun held the metal brick in one hand and the Thousand Army Saber in the other. The saber's blade hung above the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile's nose. The Blackwater Ancient Crocodile was afraid of being killed by Yi Yun, so it could only listen to Yi Yun's instructions and cross the river.
Splash –
The Blackwater Ancient Crocodile's body broke through the corrosive mud of the swamp as it headed deeper into the swamp.
Upon entering the depths of the swamp, Yi Yun sighed when he saw the situation inside. This Blackwater Swamp was indeed a land of death.
In this swamp, there were many hidden quagmires. If one was not careful, they would fall into one.
There were very few desolate beasts lurking here, but there were large numbers of desolate beast corpses. All the desolate beasts' flesh and blood had been completely corroded. The remaining desolate bones had lost a great deal of their spirituality. They had been corroded black by the swamp's toxins.
Yi Yun even saw a huge python skeleton that stretched out like a mountain range buried in the swamp. Each rib was like a thousand foot long spear that pierced the sky.
Yi Yun found it hard to imagine how such a powerful desolate beast could die here.
There were very few desolate beasts in the swamp, but there were many poisonous plants. There were vines that were filled with poison, and there were colorful flowers that were tens of feet tall that would devour corpses …
Yi Yun even saw the wreckage of a spirit boat. It was wrecked in the depths of the swamp. The boat's hull had been severely corroded and there was a blood-red moss growing on it.
An airship that could fly in the Divine wilderness was usually huge. It had all sorts of arrays, weapons and cannons. It needed more than ten human lords to control it.
Back when Yi Yun rushed from the Divine Capital to the Tai Ah Divine City, he had taken such an airship.
And a typical small airship could easily crash if it was attacked by a flying desolate beast in the sky.
When the airship crashed, a Purple Blood realm warrior who could not fly would have to fight a flying desolate beast in the air. It was equivalent to suicide.
Hence, when cultivators went out for training, they would never take an airship. A large airship was impossible to operate and it was too expensive.
A small airship was useless. Besides, it was too big and could not be stuffed into an interspatial ring.
The airship in front of Yi Yun was a small airship that could not fly. It was probably specially prepared by cultivators to cross the Blackwater Swamp.
However, an accident happened midway. Perhaps they were attacked by a desolate beast similar to the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile. The boat was destroyed and the people died.
Such a small boat did not have much defense. Furthermore, there was not much water in the Blackwater Swamp. There was toxic mud everywhere, so the speed of a boat moving through the mud was imaginable. It was definitely inferior to the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile that Yi Yun was sitting on.
Having learned his lesson, to prevent the Black Water Ancient Crocodile from suddenly committing suicide, Yi Yun's Thousand Army Saber stabbed deeper. This made the Black Water Ancient Crocodile's body tremble. Its four short legs desperately paddled back and forth as it swam even harder.
As he proceeded forward, Yi Yun finally saw land in the distance when the crescent moon appeared in the sky.
Only when land appeared did Yi Yun heave a sigh of relief. His tense nerves finally relaxed.
He pulled out the Thousand Army Saber that was pressed against the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile's nose and leaped onto the shore.
The Blackwater Ancient Crocodile behind him stared at Yi Yun with its amber eyes as it looked uneasily at him.
Yi Yun chuckled, "Thanks!"
With that said, Yi Yun turned around and flew away. The Blackwater Ancient Crocodile felt as if it had been pardoned. It hurriedly shook its tail and burrowed into the swamp, escaping far away.
…
After passing through the Blackwater Swamp, Meteorite Abyss was getting closer.
Yi Yun could already feel the pure Yang aura in the air becoming thicker. He found a safe place and meditated for a few hours, adjusting himself to his best condition.
Tomorrow was the beginning of the real battle.
This night was peaceful. There were no hotheads like the Thousand Feet Black Silkworm that ignored king-ranked desolate beasts' feces.
The next morning, as the Sun rose, Yi Yun stood on a cliff. Looking out, there was an endless barren plain in front of him. The ground was covered with dark red shattered rocks and some fine gravel.
At the end of the wasteland, where the horizon was, there was a vast and deep cut that split the mountain range in the middle. Jagged cliffs crisscrossed, as if the earth had been forcibly cut open by something.
If one looked down from the airship, they would feel that the deep cut was like a huge scar that a god had used a divine sword to dig open.
In the middle of Meteorite Abyss, there was a faint flicker of Yang fire. The heat transformed into a red mist that rose thousands of feet high, evaporating all the clouds in the sky!
The further one went into Meteorite Abyss, the drier the land became. There were no clouds here, much less rain.
Below the abyss, there was a layer of flame-like haze. It obscured the situation inside, making it difficult to see clearly.
At this point, the air had clearly become a lot hotter.
In the rolling heat, the light in front of him rippled and distorted like water.
I've finally arrived!
With his destination in front of him, Yi Yun's heart stirred as he sped up.
Stepping on the hot gravel, Yi Yun came to the periphery of Meteorite Abyss like the wind. A gust of hot wind swept over from the bottom of the abyss. When he breathed it in, his nostrils felt an inexplicable heat.
Standing on the cliff and looking down, what filled his vision was an endless deep pit. Below the deep pit, there was the vague outline of a canyon, and there were many unfathomable cracks.
All of this was hidden in the vast red mist, making it difficult to see clearly …
And in this mist, there were some unknown strange trees that pierced through the clouds from a few hundred meters below. It was extremely spectacular!
A place that never rained all year round had such strange trees growing!
"What a magical place …" Yi Yun sighed from the bottom of his heart.
Yi Yun sighed from the bottom of his heart. He found it hard to imagine what sort of meteorite could form such a miraculous scene when it landed on the ground.
"Oh?"
In the midst of the hot wind, Yi Yun could vaguely hear a beast's roar. With a thought, he opened the Purple Crystal's energy vision.
Under the endless abyss, through the Purple Crystal's energy vision, Yi Yun gradually sensed many energy spots and signs of life.
His heart could not help but heat up.
The Tai Ah Divine City had detailed information on the periphery of Meteorite Abyss.
But the Divine City had very little information on the "Fallen Star Gate" in the deepest part of Meteorite Abyss. It was so little that there was only one sentence of description, and that was …
"Inside Fallen Star Gate, Yang flames burn for tens of millions of years, never extinguishing. The environment inside is ever-changing and extremely dangerous. Do not enter!"
Although Yi Yun was very interested in what was inside Fallen Star Gate, he knew himself. In such a place, with his Purple Blood realm cultivation level, it would only bode ill for him to enter. It was best to stay far away from it.
After all, the more dangerous the environment, the richer the pure Yang energy, and the stronger the desolate beasts that were born from it.
Actually, even if one did not enter Fallen Star Gate, the periphery of Meteorite Abyss was fraught with danger.
In the tens of millions of years since the establishment of the Tai Ah Divine City, it was unknown how many cultivators had died in Meteorite Abyss, becoming food for the powerful desolate beasts.
With these precedents as a lesson, Yi Yun was very careful.
After calming his mind, Yi Yun's eyes gradually lit up. With a deep breath, he chose a direction and jumped into the dark red abyss like a large bird.
The periphery of Meteorite Abyss was less than a thousand feet high. As he descended, Yi Yun stuck close to the cliff and slashed at the cliff with the Thousand Army Saber, causing rocks to fly, reducing the momentum of his fall.
Peng!
Yi Yun landed heavily on the ground, stirring up a dark red dust cloud.
Looking up, he saw that the sky above him had been covered by a dark red haze, turning indistinct.
The place where Yi Yun was at was under a boulder. The boulder was the size of a small hill, with withered trees standing on it.
These trees were black and had a metallic luster. Some of the branches had golden sprouts, showing their tenacious vitality.
In Meteorite Abyss, Yi Yun kept his energy vision open.
Hua La La –
Yi Yun heard the sound of flowing water. This sound surprised Yi Yun. It did not rain in Meteorite Abyss, and the temperature was very high. How could there be a river here?
Yi Yun looked towards the source of the sound and saw that a few hundred feet away from him, there was a river flowing from the other side of the hill.
Yi Yun approached it and was surprised that the stream had a chill to it. Gently touching it, the water was cold to the bone. It was definitely below freezing point!
Yi Yun was stunned. What was up with this ice river?
The water was so clear that he could see the bottom. There were transparent fish the size of a palm swimming in it.
Just as Yi Yun was wondering about this strange river, there was a sudden movement in his energy vision.
The wind suddenly howled in the sky as the sharp sound of something tearing through the air rapidly approached.
Yi Yun did not look up, but his energy vision could clearly see the true appearance of the sound above him.
It was a strange bird with a cow's head and a goat's body with a pair of wings on its back. It had sharp claws and teeth.
When it spread its wings, it was about thirty feet long. It cast a huge shadow on Yi Yun's head.
"Double Winged Ox Demon."
Yi Yun crouched down as strong winds blew past his head. The Double Winged Ox Demon's metallic wings were like blades that slashed down. If he was hit, his head would be separated from his body.
Yi Yun moved close to the ground and the Tai Cang Bow quickly appeared in his hand. A sharp arrow shot out like a cold meteor, instantly shooting at the desolate beast's head.
With the Purple Crystal's vision, Yi Yun could see the Double Winged Ox Demon very clearly. This arrow was aimed at the Double Winged Ox Demon's weakness!
The Double Winged Ox Demon's strength was much weaker than the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile. Although its wings were as hard as black iron, its abdomen was extremely soft. It was its weakness.
At such a close distance, the Double Winged Ox Demon's dive was extremely fast. Even if it sensed danger, it would not be able to dodge in time.
Cha!
The Wind Chasing Arrow instantly pierced through the Double Winged Ox Demon's abdomen!
Boom!
The Double Winged Ox Demon slammed heavily into the rocks as a pure Yang elemental energy aura emanated from its abdomen.
In the periphery of Meteorite Abyss, the desolate beasts were still very weak. It was very easy for Yi Yun to finish off the Double Winged Ox Demon.
Just as Yi Yun was about to absorb the Double Winged Ox Demon's soul mark, he suddenly heard a delicate shout.
Following that, a sharp sword beam shot up into the sky.
Yi Yun was slightly stunned as he looked in the direction of the voice. Oh? There were others here?
