The Rich Cultivator-Chapter 288. Closing the Abyss Crack

With a flick of his hand, Feng Feiyan crushed the Aswang. The Abyssal Demon let out a distorted shriek before its body collapsed in on itself, disintegrating into black mist.

Without wasting another moment, Feng Feiyan vanished.

But as he sped across the skies, heading back toward the Ixalaria Continent, he suddenly halted.

A wave of immense pressure descended upon him.

His expression darkened. Someone was watching him—no, locking onto him.

"A Celestial Immortal..." he muttered, his eyes narrowing.

Feng Feiyan immediately recalled the Merman’s warning. He wasn’t allowed to step foot on Ixalaria Continent.

He weighed his options. Should he take the risk?

No.

Instead of pressing forward, he ascended. Higher and higher, piercing through the clouds, until his gaze locked onto a vague figure in the distance.

A voice rang out, neither hostile nor friendly, yet unwavering in authority.

"You have already violated our organization’s rules," the figure said. "We do not care, as you are not one of us. However, we have imposed a ban on you from entering the Ixalaria Continent. We suggest you obey it."

A pause.

"Or be prepared to be captured."

With that, the figure vanished.

Feng Feiyan clenched his jaw. His fingers twitched in frustration, but he held back his emotions.

"Tsk... How does your damn luck keep working?" he muttered, thinking of Tyler.

A cruel glint flashed in his eyes.

If he couldn’t deal with Tyler himself...

Then he would simply send others to do it.

Without another word, he disappeared into the horizon.

Back near the Abyss Crack, the Merman Immortal wielded his Trident with an air of indifference.

With a single swipe, a Beginner Immortal Abyss Demon that had begun crawling out of the crack let out a soul-piercing scream.

The sheer force of its wail made Tyler clutch his head, a splitting pain surging through his skull. Maxwell and the Swordsman, already severely injured, couldn’t withstand it. Blood trickled from their ears as their bodies trembled. Their resistance didn’t last long.

Both of them collapsed.

Then, just as suddenly as it had started—

The screaming stopped.

The Abyss Demon had retreated at its full speed. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

The Merman lowered his trident, his expression calm. "It’s gone."

Tyler exhaled, still shaken by the intense pressure.

The Merman turned his sharp gaze to him. "You’re here for the mission to close this rift, aren’t you?"

Tyler nodded. It wasn’t hard to figure out. Why else would an Immortal Practitioner be searching for the Abyss Crack?

"Then close it. If I intervene directly, I risk drawing the attention of a Heaven-Level Abyss Creature. That’s the last thing we want."

His tone carried a veiled warning.

Tyler didn’t argue. Instead, he took out a set of devices, swiftly arranging them into a formation.

With practiced precision, he set up the arrays.

Within moments, a structure resembling an altar took shape—an intricate fusion of magic and advanced technology.

Tyler activated the formation. A beam of light shot out, striking the crack from two sides.

A faint hum filled the air as the rift began to shrink.

The process was swift. In just a few minutes, the Abyss passage was sealed shut.

The Merman observed the process without interference. Once the crack had fully vanished, he nodded in approval. "That was a small one. Easy enough to close."

He crossed his arms, his gaze drifting toward the distance. "The biggest rift, the one responsible for this Abyss Breakout, will take a lot longer to recover."

A hint of disappointment flickered across his eyes. "It’s a pity there are no void stone fragments. They are pretty valuable."

Then, as if remembering something, the Merman turned back to Tyler.

"You’d better be careful. Someone named Feng is after you."

Tyler’s eyes narrowed.

Before he could ask any questions, the Merman vanished.

Now alone, Tyler surveyed the place.

He then looked at his communication device. He tapped on it, quickly composing a message:

"Mission Completed."

With the priority task done, he turned his attention to Maxwell and the Swordsman, both still unconscious.

His gaze flickered toward the bodies of Lian Fu and the Mage.

They had once been ’zombies.’ But now?

Their eyes were empty.

The Abyssal corruption was gone, leaving them as nothing more than lifeless corpses.

Tyler didn’t linger. They weren’t his problem anymore.

He crouched down, checking Maxwell and the Swordsman for any severe injuries. They were stable but badly wounded.

Sighing, Tyler pulled out his portable waypoint terminal.

He tapped a few buttons, attempting to open a portal back to safety.

But—

Nothing happened.

"Tsk... As expected not working." Tyler muttered. He decided to wait for the reinforcement.

Inside the Abyss Passage , a phantom-like figure drifted through the endless void.

A lady wraith , her once-luminous red eyes now devoid of color, moved with a lifeless gait . Her entire form had faded into a grayish-white entity , stripped of all vibrancy, a mere shadow of what she once was.

Yet, within that empty husk, a voice lingered.

"I won’t forgive you. I won’t forgive you... Tyler White."

The words spilled from her lips in a broken mantra, a whisper carried into the depths of the Abyss , before she vanished into the darkness.

As Charla wandered deeper, creatures lurking in the shadows took notice.

They sniffed the air, sensing her presence .

A fresh prey had arrived.

Some of the monsters— twisted, grotesque entities that slithered and crawled through the jagged abyssal pathways—began to circle, their glowing eyes locked onto her.

Yet, just as they prepared to pounce , they stopped.

A mark burned faintly on her spectral body— the mark of an Aswang.

It was a claim , a brand left by a higher-tier Abyssal Demon .

Reluctantly, the creatures withdrew , their hunger unsated.

Charla, unaware of the threats around her, continued forward , her steps aimless and hollow.

However, something changed.

As she drifted further into the abyss, her mark vanished.

The moment it disappeared, the darkness stirred.

The creatures lurking in the shadows snarled , their patience rewarded.

With her protection gone, she was free game.

Dozens of glowing eyes flickered in the darkness. Fangs bared. The hunt began.

But just as the creatures lunged—

Two figures appeared.

The wraith never saw them coming.

A pair of young girls , appearing no older than sixteen , suddenly materialized from the darkness, their hands grabbing hold of Charla before she could react.

The surrounding creatures—moments away from tearing into their prey— froze .

A single glance at the newcomers sent a ripple of fear through the abyssal beasts.

They immediately retreated into the darkness , unwilling to challenge them.

The two girls turned their attention to their new captive, their expressions filled with curiosity.

"Wow!" one of them exclaimed, her violet eyes shimmering with amusement. "Such a beautiful wraith . Shall I possess it, sister?"

The other girl rolled her eyes. "Nixie, you’re the only one who wants to possess a Wraith. "

"But she’s so cute !" Nixie pouted, gently poking Charla’s ghostly cheek. "Besides, it’s rare to find a wraith like this!"

The older girl— Nova —sighed, placing her hands on her hips. "We just escaped the Lower Realm and made it back to the Abyss. Can’t you give it a break ? Maybe instead of collecting random souls , we should focus on finding a world where we can have a—"

Nova’s lips curled into a mischievous grin .

"— an orgy party. I loved how we turned an entire village into a lust paradise"

Nixie groaned. "Ugh! You and your orgies! You’re always thinking about that!"

Nova smirked. "Look who is talking . who was the one possessed this young girl and raped her whole family?."

"Ah... You won’t understand just thinking about it makes me Horny again." Nixie made a ahegao face thinking of that. She then looked back at Charla. "Fine. But let me play with her first!"

Charla, though still in her dazed state. She didn’t even notice her Phantom like dresses vanished.

Nixie giggled as she played with the wraith, her fingers weaving through all over Charla’s part. Then she also did scissors and all.

Nova watched from the side, arms crossed, a small smile tugging at her lips.

"You’re always like this, Spreading your legs to any creatures you meet" she mused, shaking her head.

Nixie barely acknowledged her, too absorbed in her game.

But then—

Her eyes widened.

"Sister... Guess what?"

Nova raised an eyebrow. "What now?"

"I just read her memories..." Nixie’s voice dripped with suspense.

Nova sighed. "And?"

Nixie grinned. "I found someone interesting."

Nova rolled her eyes. "Just say it already."

With a gleeful smirk, Nixie whispered, "Tyler White."

Nova’s expression froze.

Then, after a beat—

She made an ahegao face. She also joined them.

Inside the Abyss, the two succubi made their decision. They decided to find Tyler White and make him their slave. Their ’pet’ wraith will also tag along.
