Chapter 502: Chapter 500: Wild Beast Abyss

"What?"

Deng Tianfang’s eyes widened in shock, staring blankly at Xu Yang, as if to say: I don’t even know you.

"Wait, that voice, you, you are..."

His whole body trembled, his pupils instantly flushed red with blood, and he glared at Xu Yang: "You’re Xu Yang?"

Xu Yang suddenly removed his disguise, and with a faint smile said, "Deng Tianfang, what a coincidence."

"What are you doing in the Land of the Fallen?"

Deng Tianfang was both resentful and afraid, forcing himself to appear calm, but his ferocity was only on the surface as he threatened: "Xu Yang, you’d better let me go. Otherwise, even the Martial King’s clan won’t be able to protect you!"

"Still refuse to shed tears until you see the coffin!"

"Do you really think I don’t dare kill you?"

Xu Yang’s eyes turned cold as ice. "It is true that killing you might be discovered, but..."

The sound stopped abruptly, but it was enough to make Deng Tianfang’s heart leap into his throat, trembling uncontrollably from fear.

With a single thought, Xu Yang summoned the Celestial Refining Divine Tripod.

"You... what are you going to do?"

Panic spread across Deng Tianfang’s face.

He had heard that Xu Yang was also an Alchemist.

"No, you can’t do this."

When he saw Spirit Fire igniting inside the Divine Tripod, Deng Tianfang’s reason was completely shattered by terror. He screamed, "I’ll talk! I’ll say! I didn’t come here for you. I’m looking for someone."

"Who are you looking for?"

"I don’t know, I don’t know."

"It was Senior Xiao Ming who sent me. He said I would know once I got here!"

"Is there a way to contact them?" Xu Yang’s brows furrowed tightly.

Turns out, he wasn’t here for him.

But the fact that Xiao Ming sent special instructions was quite surprising.

"Yes, this Jade Talisman. With it, I can find the person." Deng Tianfang fumbled anxiously, pulling out a brilliantly colored Jade Talisman exuding rich Five Elements aura.

Xu Yang accepted the talisman, inspecting it closely, but couldn’t sense anything strange.

For a while.

He grinned at Deng Tianfang. Under the latter’s terrified gaze, the Divine Tripod suddenly expanded, swallowing him whole.

What Xu Yang feared was that directly killing Deng Tianfang might allow those with special methods at the Five Elements Celestial Realm to sense it.

So, he was swallowed into the Celestial Refining Divine Tripod!

To be suppressed!

Later, once he reached a special place that could block detection, he would kill him then.

But after being trapped inside the Celestial Refining Divine Tripod, although Deng Tianfang was alive, it was no different from being dead.

After that, Xu Yang looked at the Jade Talisman, hesitated for a moment, then tossed it into the Divine Tripod as well.

For the time being, he would ignore it!

As for what Xiao Ming was plotting, Xu Yang was curious, but also afraid of anything unexpected happening.

Just that little snake made him very wary of Xiao Ming’s strength.

Right now, improving his power comes first!

After doing all this, Xu Yang continued to race towards the Wild Beast Abyss.

...

Somewhere in Wild Beast Abyss.

A veiled woman was sitting cross-legged.

Suddenly, she slowly opened her eyes. With a twist of her wrist, a purple Jade Talisman appeared in her hand.

She focused her mind and probed, but her brows instantly knitted together.

"How did it disappear?"

"Damn, could something have happened?"

Her expression darkened as she probed again and again, but still found nothing unusual. In the end, her face became completely cold and sinister.

"Damn Deng Tianfang. How could Xiao Ming find such an unreliable person!"

"Looks like I’ll have to rely on myself now."

"But who would dare kill Deng Tianfang?"

...

"So this is the Wild Beast Abyss?"

Xu Yang gazed in shock at the gloomy abyss before him.

From the depths of the Land of the Fallen, the earth split open, with mountain walls towering into the clouds on either side.

Looking as far as the eye could see, there was no end in sight. A primeval aura emanated, enough to make one’s heart pound with fear!

The scene alone made Xu Yang secretly shudder.

The beasts here must be anything but simple!

Xu Yang steeled himself and leapt in.

Dozens of breaths later, he finally touched down.

The light was dim. Looking up, it was as if thick dark clouds hung above, the atmosphere oppressive!

Besides the primal aura in the air, there was also a frenzy brewing in it.

Roar~~~

Low, deep roars echoed endlessly from the distant darkness.

Xu Yang lifted his eyebrows slightly; clearly, those sounds were from the wild beasts here.

Though the distance blunted the sound somewhat, he could still feel how alarming it was.

Roar!

Suddenly, a roar sounded nearby.

Immediately, a mountainous beast lunged from the shadows—those blood-red eyes were as big as copper bells, filled with feral madness and vicious menace.

The ground quaked, violent ripples spreading out!

Its cultivation was at the True Monarch Initial Realm, and its presence was almost at the True Monarch Middle Realm!

Xu Yang’s eyes flashed in shock. With a wave of his sleeve, the Asura Blood Saber slashed down head-on.

Splurt!

The wild beast let out a miserable cry and fell down.

Xu Yang stepped forward and cast the Heaven-Devouring Spirit-Eating Skill.

Buzz!

A few breaths later, Xu Yang’s face revealed awe: "Just as Mr. Zheng said, its essence contains faint spiritual origin, deep and rich!"

Only, this beast was too weak, so the feeling wasn’t that intense.

But if he could slay enough High-tier True Monarch wild beasts, his strength would surely skyrocket.

The thought flashed by, Xu Yang grinned, and sped deeper in.

"I must break my Spirit Mark through to four feet!"

Two days later.

At the foot of a hill, crimson saber light raged, shaking a gigantic wild beast.

The land quaked; wild, violent, and savage energy roared crazily.

"Locking Spirit!"

Xu Yang twisted, slapping the beast with his palm. The energy inside its body went berserk, clashing violently, suddenly losing balance.

The biting blade light swept down like a raging torrent, wave after wave.

A few breaths later,

The beast crashed to the ground.

It was clearly a bona fide High-tier True Monarch wild beast.

Xu Yang sat cross-legged atop its body, wielding the Heaven-Devouring Spirit-Eating Skill.

An hour later, his aura fluctuated, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"Worthy of a High-tier True Monarch wild beast."

"The essence power it held was truly shocking!"

Just this one was worth about ten days of cultivation in the Land of the Fallen’s core.

And fighting it was also a great tempering, yielding far more gain!

This was already the third High-tier True Monarch wild beast he’d hunted down!

Glancing at his Spirit Mark, Xu Yang grinned. He was already not far from the four-foot Spirit Mark.

Immediately, Xu Yang leapt off and continued forward.

He hadn’t gone far when his eyes narrowed, glancing toward the mountain wall.

Swish!

Xu Yang darted to the base of the wall, staring at a crack above him.

The crack was extremely wide, at least two zhang across.

A faint bloody scent drifted out from within.

If not for his sharp senses, it would have been nearly undetectable.

Xu Yang entered cautiously and soon found two corpses.

Martial Artists’ bodies.

Their clothes were intact, and they looked peaceful in death!

Xu Yang only felt a deep sense of eeriness.

The two corpses bore not a single wound, and their peaceful faces seemed as if they’d drifted into sleep or were having a pleasant dream, only for their consciousness to be silently crushed while they died.

"Strange. This definitely wasn’t the work of wild beasts!"

If not the wild beasts, the killer is obvious!

A Martial Artist!

Xu Yang crouched down, meditating to investigate. A few breaths later, shock flickered in his eyes.

"These two were about the High-tier True Monarch level in life!"

"No wounds at all; as if their souls were crushed in a dream without the least bit of resistance. The one who did this..."

Not just sinister in their methods, but their strength was astonishing!

Hiss—

Xu Yang secretly drew in a breath of cold air.
