I Only Marry Widows
Chapter 677 - 67: Chaos Celestial Abyss, Traveling with the Ladies
At his command, several women were somewhat reluctant. They had only managed to come out for a brief period and did not want to be confined again. But faced with Lu Chengfeng’s order, they couldn’t refuse and could only transform into five streaks of starlight, reluctantly entering Lu Chengfeng’s brow.
After collecting the five women, Lu Chengfeng then stepped into the Chaos Heaven in one stride. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
Upon entering this place, he saw the Chaos Qi permeating the air, the world vast and misty, making it impossible to see into the distance. The space was filled with an invisible, fierce, and violent Qi that made one’s skin feel icy, as if being pierced by knives.
"What a Chaos Heaven, truly the forbidden realm of beings in the Three Realms."
Lu Chengfeng took a deep breath. It was his first time entering Chaos Heaven in his true form, and an instinctive premonition made him feel that this place nurtured terrifying dangers, prompting him to become more vigilant.
With a shift in his heart thought, he slightly utilized the Taotie Transformation, and the previous sense of danger immediately lessened significantly. The Taotie Transformation, even devouring the violent Qi of the Void, made him feel as if he were soaking in a hot spring, exulting all over his body.
"Indeed, what poses extreme danger to Immortals, Buddhas, Gods, and Demons, is actually paradise for an Ancient Fierce Beast like the Taotie."
Lu Chengfeng had inferred this change many times, which is why he dared to venture into Chaos Heaven to deal with those two Divine Venerates.
Transforming himself, he directly assumed the form of a Taotie. The previously hazy world then became clear, and Taotie could even perceive extremely distant distances by leveraging the chaotic, violent Qi in the Void.
"In this way, the search speed will be much faster!"
Lu Chengfeng began to roam Chaos Heaven. This place exuded antiquity, as if covered with a layer of dust, with everything enveloped in the marks of time.
Moreover, the Chaos Qi surged, pervading the Void, containing extremely terrifying violent corrosive power.
Yet, by transforming into a Taotie, Lu Chengfeng seemed to have entered his own hunting ground, with an extremely vast sensing range.
Previously, through deduction, he had locked onto a large area where the Great Sun Celestial Patrol Divine Venerate and Earth Mother Dragon Venerate might exist, although he couldn’t determine the exact location, saving a lot of time and effort.
Along the way, Lu Chengfeng did not stop, heading directly to the most severe area. As he ventured deeper into Chaos Heaven, the Chaos Qi grew denser, with black light and Chaos Storms everywhere. The world was dark, and one couldn’t see their hand before their face.
"This Chaos Heaven is so vast!"
His escape speed was terrifying, but traversing Chaos Heaven seemed like an endless journey.
Wandering in this directionless, lightless darkness for what seemed an eternity, Lu Chengfeng suddenly found himself at a dead end, with a massive abyss stretching out before him.
This abyss was even more immense than a province, leaving one awestruck. Below lay an inky blackness, impossible to see anything, evoking a hair-raising sensation.
Endless Chaos Qi and violent aura surged from the massive abyss, filled with mystique and eeriness.
Even Lu Chengfeng felt a sense of trepidation. Such a colossal abyss seemed like a bottomless chasm that could devour the mind, luring one into its depths.
Beneath the endless darkness of the abyss, Chaos Qi surged like tides, occasionally forming terrifying Void Storms that ripped through the sky, connecting with the chaos outside of existence. If one got lost within, unable to find a way back to the Three Realms, even a Great Emperor might fall.
This was one of the most dangerous forbidden realms in Chaos Heaven, known as the Celestial Abyss. Ordinary Immortals and Buddhas hadn’t even heard of it; it only persisted in extremely ancient legends, and even Great Emperors dared not trespass lightly, ranking among the most terrifying deadly grounds.
The so-called Celestial Abyss, according to the ancient sages, extends directly into Chaos at its bottom, and on the other side likely lies some chaotic wonder within the chaos, a terrifying existence capable of entombing Great Emperors.
Many speculate that the Four Ancient Fierce Beasts were initially nurtured and born from the Celestial Abyss.
Since the dawn of time, the Celestial Abyss has been expanding, devouring everything. A Great Emperor once prophesied that eventually, the entire Three Realms would be wholly consumed by the Celestial Abyss.
Lu Chengfeng circled the abyss, constantly using the Power of Time to deduce, combining fate and causality to seek traces left by the Great Sun Celestial Patrol Divine Venerate and Earth Mother Dragon Venerate.
He suspected those two might have relocated the Shenxiao Palace near the Celestial Abyss. Even Celestial Venerates are unwilling to linger here, let alone delve too deep.
However, he soon gave up attempting. Here, the Chaos Qi formed terrifying storms that shattered and obliterated everything, drowning all Heaven and Earth laws.
All magic and divine techniques were virtually unusable; if not for his Taotie transformation, he would’ve long been suppressed and unable to move.
The Celestial Abyss is a deadly peril, yet harbors infinite creativity. A Great Emperor once obtained Chaos Treasures from it, refining them into an Emperor’s Weapon—entering might lead to grand creation.
"I can’t pinpoint the couple’s exact location, only deduce a vague area, which should be around where the Celestial Abyss lies."
"What should I do; should I risk exploring it?!"
After some private consideration, Lu Chengfeng decided to descend for observation.
Even if he couldn’t find the couple, as long as he didn’t delve deep, relying on the Taotie Transformation wouldn’t pose too significant a threat.
Moreover, he was immensely curious about the Celestial Abyss. If he could find some creation within, that would be a substantial gain.
To ensure safety, Lu Chengfeng suppressed all mana and divine techniques, maximizing the Taotie Transformation, becoming an immensely large Fierce Beast, devouring chaos, with fierce Qi swirling like black clouds, slowly descending into the Celestial Abyss.
Upon entering the Celestial Abyss, the Chaos Qi surged vigorously like tides. As he descended, he encountered significant resistance, and he dared not plunge too deep at once, thus slowly making his way down.
The deeper he went, the darker it became, until finally, even the Taotie’s perception could not extend far, barely sensing the surrounding area within several hundred zhang.
"At this rate, it might be hard to find the couple’s trace."
Lu Chengfeng couldn’t help but furrow his brow. Just then, the Chaos Qi surged ahead, with a massive block the size of a mountain rolling along within the chaos.
"What is that?!"
His eyes couldn’t help but light up. It seemed to be Chaos Divine Iron, a supreme treasure born of the chaos itself, an Emperor-level supreme divine material, top-tier even among materials for an Emperor’s Weapon.
Without hesitation, Lu Chengfeng acted, the Taotie form advancing against the tide, riding the waves in the chaos as he gradually approached the mountain.
Fortunately, the Chaos Divine Iron drifted along with the tide, not too far from his location. It wasn’t long before Lu Chengfeng locked onto it. He opened the Taotie’s massive maw, and with a rumble, directly swallowed the mountain-sized Chaos Divine Iron.
In an instant, Lu Chengfeng felt his body sink, almost falling into the abyss. The inner space formed by the Taotie’s divine techniques creaked under the weight of the Chaos Divine Iron, almost shattering.
And it was merely unrefined divine material; the Taotie’s body had just swallowed it and already felt the Lifebound Divine Techniques on the verge of being obliterated.
Lu Chengfeng’s expression tightened, "I must leave quickly."
Fearing delay, he leveraged the power of the waves to rapidly move to the Celestial Abyss cliffside. The Chaos Divine Iron was too heavy, making it challenging to fly up, forcing him to climb the cliff.
However, after climbing for a while, his gaze suddenly focused. He noticed a dark cave entrance not far on the cliffside, where ancient palaces emitted divine light within the chaos.
"Is that the Shenxiao Palace?"
Lu Chengfeng’s eyes couldn’t help but brighten, "No wonder I didn’t see it earlier; it’s hard to notice this concealed entrance unless you’re nearby."
"The couple picked quite a hidden spot."
After a glance, he found the cave entrance was not too far from the Celestial Abyss’s exit.
"Indeed, going too deep would be dangerous for them as well."
"By hiding near the Celestial Abyss entrance, they can utilize this forbidden area to block all enemy searches."
"Unfortunately, they encountered me."
Lu Chengfeng chose not to alert the enemy, ascending swiftly.
