BXBX NOVEL Chapter 578: 578: Abyss of the Underworld
So, he trained intensively.
He burned through celestite at an astonishing speed.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed, and Jiang Xiaobai had used over two hundred thousand low-grade celestite, raising his power to a level that matched the rules of this place.
The intensity of his spiritual power was terrifyingly stronger than before!
Jiang Xiaobai felt like he was back in the game!
“Hmm, let’s go test it out in the War God Space.”
With that thought, Jiang Xiaobai charged straight into the War God Space.
After a full day of battles, Jiang Xiaobai indeed felt that his power had increased significantly!
It could be said that he had improved by at least double!
Even though he was still in the Late-Stage Merge Realm, his power had undergone a qualitative change!
And in the rankings of those in the Fusion Field, he had moved up… twenty places.
Although it was just twenty places, Jiang Xiaobai was not focused on climbing up the ranks. He was focusing on testing his power.
After leaving the War God Space, Jiang Xiaobai left the practice room, and while stretching his muscles, he found Xu Lingling.
“I plan to go to the Dark Abyss. Is there anything I need to be aware of?” Jiang Xiaobai asked calmly.
“There’s nothing particularly to be aware of. The Dark Abyss only has one type of dark beast called Dark Spirits. Just don’t let them drain your Soul Energy.”
“The Dark Abyss isn’t big. You should be able to find the trial altar fairly easily. But the Dark Abyss is quite lively now.”
Xu Lingling looked at Jiang Xiaobai with a meaningful gaze.
Jiang Xiaobai didn’t understand what she meant and just nodded, walking towards the passage to the Dark Abyss.
At the same time, he checked his belongings.
Two Acquired Spirit Treasures, one Soul Knife trump card and his Virtuous Merits.
It was worth mentioning that his entire right arm was now Virtuous Merits. This was a massive increase from the previous four fingers.
In addition, he had nearly three million points.
His normal reputation was over thirty thousand, and his evil reputation was zero.
That was a good thing, as there were no side effects of having the title of ‘The Great Villain of the Three Thousand Worlds’.
“Given this, I should be able to survive the Dark Abyss, right?”
Jiang Xiaobai said to himself.
Then he entered the passage. After the scene in front of him flickered, when he regained consciousness, Jiang Xiaobai found himself in a blue canyon!
The canyon was spacious. Looking up, he couldn’t see anything above.
This place was the Dark Abyss!
The soil of the distant ground was faintly glowing blue, illuminating the entire abyss.
Aside from that, everything was barren and empty.
Not only that, Jiang Xiaobai also felt a chill. This coldness wasn’t physical; it originated from the soul!
After a slight vibration of his Soul Energy, the chill disappeared.
After all, he, Jiang Xiaobai, possessed the Purple Sky Soul.
“This place is truly strange. It can actually make the soul feel cold.”
“But the rules here are the same as the Abyss Forbidden Lands. Fortunately, I increased my spiritual power previously; otherwise, I would have suffered a loss by rashly coming here.”
Jiang Xiaobai muttered to himself, preparing to leave.
But just then, he suddenly sensed an attack from behind and swiftly dodged, while the Abyss Rainbow appeared in his hand.
Only then did Jiang Xiaobai see clearly a wolf-like dark beast in front of him.
Its mouth couldn’t close, and it had a retractable proboscis.
Dark Spirit!
The only dark beast here, could absorb Soul Energy according to Xu Lingling’s description!
Jiang Xiaobai was both curious and shocked about the Dark Abyss. Not only because this place seemed to harm the soul, but also because of these Dark Spirit beasts that could devour Soul Energy!
The Dark Spirit beast in front of him was extremely horrifying in its form, and an intense, terrifying aura emanated from it.
This aura could suppress the soul!
It could also indirectly suppress one’s strength. When Jiang Xiaobai tried to react and mobilise his spiritual power, he realised that his spiritual power was being suppressed within the Dark Abyss!
His current power had probably been reduced by about 10%!
“Damn, this place is so weird.”
While mumbling to himself, Jiang Xiaobai kept his eyes firmly on the Dark Spirit beast in front of him.
The beast also stared at Jiang Xiaobai, but it did not initiate an attack immediately.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Xiaobai decided to test the beast’s strength, and he made the first move with the Abyss Rainbow, thrusting his sword forward!
Unexpectedly, even though the Dark Spirit was eerie and seemed to have formidable power, it wasn’t very fast.
With this move, Jiang Xiaobai easily pierced through the body of the Dark Spirit.
But the Dark Spirit did not die. It was as if it was perfectly fine.
Even its wound visibly began to heal.
Then, Jiang Xiaobai started testing the strength of the Dark Spirit. After a battle, he finally managed to kill it.
He also learned a few things about these Dark Spirit beasts.
The Dark Spirit he just fought was at the Peak of the Late Integration Stage, but the power it exhibited could match a Tianxuan Continental Tribulation Passing Peak power.
It had a terrifying physical body and an astonishing healing rate.
The only weakness seemed to be their speed, which wasn’t very fast.
“If their speed is slow, they should be manageable.”
“But then again, didn’t Xu Lingling say that this place is quite busy now? Where is everyone?”
Jiang Xiaobai looked around in confusion, then carefully moved forward.
The Dark Abyss was completely deserted, only the blue soil was visible. The Dark Spirits were all pitch black, but somehow they could hide their bodies among the blue soil!
Having only walked for about ten minutes, Jiang Xiaobai was attacked by Dark Spirits three times.
Each time he was unable to detect them at first. Only when they moved to attack, could he sense their presence.
Moreover, this place could devour his soul sense! All of the soul sense that Jiang Xiaobai sent out was swallowed in the abyss, rendering him unable to use it to scout his surroundings.
With these conditions, his situation was quite precarious.
Jiang Xiaobai did not dare to take things lightly. He could only proceed with caution, despite the fact that he had already encountered numerous attacks from the Dark Spirits.
Eventually, he decided to speed ahead to reach the trial altar as quickly as possible.
Even though the Dark Spirits were lurking everywhere and constantly ambushing him, this level of intensity was nothing to Jiang Xiaobai.
As long as he found a Dark Spirit, one slash of his sword could easily kill it.
After walking for about two hours, Jiang Xiaobai finally saw the first person!
However, that person looked a little strange…
