Chapter 674: Going Down the Abyss Again

After what seemed like hours, Yu Zhenghai opened his eyes. Apart from the roaring wind in his ears, all he could see was darkness. When he looked up at the sky from the abyss, it was dark as well. No stars could be seen.

He recalled Si Wuya saying he would have to act when he felt a pulling force under him. Before it happened, he wanted to have a good sleep to kill the boredom. Hence, he closed his eyes.

…

After an unknown time had passed, Yu Zhenghai who felt as though he had spent a long time in this darkness suddenly felt a pull from below. He was immediately invigorated.

He was right to rest while he descended. His mental state was not affected at all. When he opened his eyes, he felt more energetic.

He looked around curiously. He had seen many dangerous things in life. Compared to all those things, this was nothing. After all, his current situation was one where he only could not see his surroundings. What was there to be afraid of?

He conjured a shining golden palm seal to illuminate his surroundings.

The walls of the abyss were gone, and the pulling force intensified.

Yu Zhenghai did not resist the pulling force. In fact, he even accelerated his descent. Then, he wasted no time in lifting the coffin’s lid and entering the coffin.

His Primal Qi wrapped around the red coffin as it continued to descend.

In the endless darkness, Yu Zhenhai lay in the red coffin. He held the scabbard of Yu Shangrong’s Longevity Sword with one hand while he kept his other hand pressed against the base of the red coffin to channel his Primal Qi into it.

After a while…

Splash!

The sound of the red coffin hitting water rang in the air.

Yu Zhenghai was delighted. “I’m at the bottom now!”

Anyone with a weaker mind would not have survived the descent.

Yu Zhenghai raised the Longevity Sword’s scabbard. His Primal Qi surged as the scabbard buzzed. Something stirred in him, and he steered the red coffin in the direction he wanted.

…

Five days had passed.

Yu Zhenghai did not see any light. This meant he was completely clueless about his current whereabouts.

He could feel the red runes on the scabbard were glowing. His direction was clear, and he felt relieved.

“Perhaps, I’ll arrive when I wake up.” Yu Zhenghai closed his eyes in sweet anticipation of a good rest. The trip to the red lotus domain did not seem so terrible. On the contrary, it seemed interesting.

The thought had barely appeared in his mind when he heard loud splashes outside.

“Hm?” Yu Zhenghai opened his eyes and looked out of the red coffin. Naturally, he could not see anything.

He raised his palm. A golden seal shone, illuminating the inside of the red coffin.

Splash!

He could clearly feel the red coffin being lifted into the air by a huge wave, causing him to feel disoriented.

“A beast?” He remembered Si Wuya’s warning and hazard a guess. If it was a beast, he should stay inside the red coffin all the more. He should not go out.

Splash!

The red coffin was tossed into the air by the huge waves again.

Yu Zhenghai was even more disoriented this time.

Crack!

“No…” Yu Zhenghai’s heart sank when he saw a crack appearing on the red coffin. He quickly increased the input of Primal Qi. He condensed it into energy and protected the red coffin.

Bam!

Amidst loud banging sounds, the red coffin ricocheted.

Yu Zhenghai activated his protective energy to prevent the coffin from being damaged.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

He could hear the coffin being knocked around.

Yu Zhenghai frowned. He wondered if the runes were damaged. He launched another palm seal to illuminate his surroundings again. He saw the red runes inside the coffin. Indeed… they were dimmer now.

He could not see what was happening outside. However, if the runes inside were damaged, there was no need to wonder about the state of the runes outside.

This was bad.

Crack!

The red coffin cracked open!

Yu Zhenghai had prepared himself for this. He struck with his Jasper Saber before it flew under his feet and carried him.

Several energy sabers shot out into the surroundings and illuminated the surroundings.

With this, he saw the boundless body of black water and darkness. He saw fragments from the shattered red coffin dropping into the water.

Yu Zhenghai held onto the Longevity Sword’s scabbard and said, “Second Senior Brother, are you cursing me behind my back?”

As he looked at the shattered red coffin, he sighed. Fortunately, the scabbard was still with him. At the very least, he would not be lost. He decided to fly at full speed for the remainder of the journey.

As he moved forward, he suddenly realized he had overlooked something. Where was the beast that destroyed the red coffin?

Woo!

A cry resounded in the darkness.

Above?!

Yu Zhenghai launched a palm seal.

The shining seal sailed forth.

Then, he saw something that he would not forget.

An extremely huge fish had leaped out in an arc. It arched its body like a heavenly dome.

“This isn’t Chi Yao… This is… Wen Yao?”

Wen Yao was like a carp. It had the body of a fish with bird wings. It was pale with a white head and scarlet jaws.

Yu Zhenghai held his breath. He felt that he was barely the size of its scale. He was greatly shaken.

Although he was the master of the Nether Sect that had dominated the lands for a long time, and he was an Eight-leaf cultivator, he was still shocked by the beast before him.

His Seventh Junior Brother had said before that men would always improve. Whether it was the Four Great Forests, the Endless Ocean, or the black water, men had explored them all.

Since he could no longer count on the red coffin, he could only fly on his own.

He stood on the Jasper Saber and continued to fly.

Splash!

Wen Yao plunged into the water, stirring up a huge wave.

Yu Zhenghai pushed his palm forward. A conical energy seal shone and kept the water at bay as he forced his way through the wave.

Wen Yao let out another cry that echoed thunderously in the darkness as it leaped out of the water again. This time, it lunged at Yu Zhenghai.

“This is bad!” Yu Zhenghai flipped his palm. The Jasper Saber spun away from him and released countless energy sabers.

Dark Heaven Starlight.

With the help of the desolate-grade Jasper Saber, Dark Heaven Starlight took form instantly. Even so, the Dark Heaven Starlight that should have a wide range seemed insignificant in front of the gargantuan Wen Yao.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The energy sabers struck Wen Yao.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

White marks appeared on Wen Yao’s scales. It dove toward Yu Zhenghai, intending to swallow him whole!

“It’s so powerful?” Yu Zhenghai’s Dark Heaven Starlight that was unleashed by a desolate-grade weapon only seemed like a scratch to Wen Yao.

Yu Zhenghai shot up and hovered above Wen Yao.

Sovereign Descent!

His energy sabers fell toward Wen Yao like the tide. His desolate-grade weapon and Great Dark Heaven Memorial was finally showing their effect.

The tempest of energy sabers crashed on Wen Yao’s body as a thunderous sound rang in the air.

Wen Yao felt pain from the attacks and swiftly dove into the water.

“It sure is tough.” Even Sovereign Descent merely caused it to feel pain.

With Yu Zhenghai’s Eight-leaf cultivation base and desolate-grade weapon, his strength was comparable to that of an Eight-leaf-and-a[half cultivator.

He knew he could not afford to stay here any longer. Moreover, he had to save his Primal Qi. He quickly fled through the air.

Alas, the Wen Yao was a ferocious beast. It swam at top speed in the black water. After a short while, it leaped out from the water again, stirring the black water into waves.

Yu Zhenghai raised his hand and fisted his hand.

The Jasper Saber hovered in the air as he unleashed defensive energy seals from his body.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Yu Zhenghai was sent flying by the waves.

Behind the waves, Wen Yao was waiting for him with a gaping maw.

Yu Zhenghai looked up and pushed forward with his palms! A round energy seal appeared in front of him. He was the size of a basketball compared to the energy seal. This was the limit of his range!

Bam!

Wen Yao rammed against the shield.

Bam!

It rammed against it again!

Yu Zhenghai frowned. “Are the heavens trying to get rid of me?”

He unleashed his Primal Qi again as he reinforced his shield. As he maintained his huge defensive shield, his Primal Qi was being depleted at a greater rate as well.

Wen Yao looked undeterred as it pounced toward Yu Zhenghai.

At this moment, a school of Wen Yaos suddenly leaped out of the black water!
