428: The perilous Fallen God Abyss, return to the sect!

Inside the Gods Fall Abyss, the silence was terrifying.

Su Ming moved his body cautiously, each step as light as if he were treading on cotton.

He was terrified of disturbing the Eerie Creatures within the Gods Fall Abyss.

Su Ming discovered that the Gods Fall Abyss was dim and devoid of light; his Divine Sense was swallowed by an invisible force before it could extend even a hundred meters.

Wherever his gaze landed, there was nothing but swirling, thin black mist and jagged, strange rocks.

He secretly held the recording crystal given to him by the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect, recording the scenes of the Gods Fall Abyss one by one.

It was for no other reason than the fact that this recording crystal would determine how many points he would receive upon returning to the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect.

Therefore, Su Ming had to ensure the safety of the recording crystal.

Just like that, Su Ming slowly explored the Gods Fall Abyss.

However, after exploring for several hours, there was nothing but deathly silence.

Let alone Eerie Creatures, he hadn't even seen a single strand of an Eerie Creature's hair.

"Could the intelligence from the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect be flawed?"

"Are there simply no Eerie Creatures here at all?"

Su Ming muttered to himself.

However, it was precisely because of this situation that Su Ming's courage gradually grew.

Following that, his pace quickened as he walked deeper inside.

As he ventured deeper, the black mist around him became increasingly thick.

The Qi permeating the air was almost tangible, pressing down on his chest and making it feel stifling.

Just at this moment.

"Eh?"

A light, airy voice rang out beside his ear without any warning.

This voice seemed to come from the depths of the Nine Underworlds, carrying a chilling aura.

The hairs on Su Ming's body stood on end instantly, and his whole body seemed to be nailed to the spot; he dared not move a muscle.

Cold sweat slid down his forehead in an instant.

He stiffly turned his neck to look in the direction the voice came from.

In that dense darkness, a silhouette slowly emerged.

Su Ming saw that the thing had no fixed form; it was just a wriggling ball of flesh, with two points of crimson light glowing in the shadows.

"Why do I feel... as if a bug has flown in?"

The voice sounded again, carrying a trace of confusion and bewilderment.

"Is it an illusion? Have I slept for too long?"

Immediately after, another voice rang out.

"I think you're just being too sensitive. Although a few members of the Human Race have come here over the years, ever since that time three years ago, no one has dared to come again!"

Before the words had even faded.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Several more distinct and terrifying auras rose from all directions.

In the darkness!

Pair after pair of eyes—some crimson, some ghastly green, some eerie purple—lit up one after another, surrounding Su Ming completely.

Every single aura was far beyond that of a mere Heavenly Immortal like him.

Immortal King!

These were all Eerie Creatures of the Immortal King Realm!

Su Ming's scalp tingled, and his brain went completely blank under the extreme fear.

Run!

This was the only thought in his mind.

Without a shred of hesitation, Su Ming turned and fled.

Su Ming pushed his Void Concealment to the limit, using the fastest speed of his life to sprint desperately along the path he had come from.

He dared not look back, and he didn't even dare to use his Divine Sense to investigate behind him.

He was terrified that any superfluous movement would attract the attention of those Immortal King Eerie Creatures.

He now only regretted that he was not a true Grand Void Ancient Dragon.

At this moment, thinking of the mission issued by the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect, he only felt a sense of absurdity.

What a joke!

This was only the middle-outer region of the Gods Fall Abyss, yet so many Immortal King-level Eerie Creatures had already appeared.

If he were to venture further inside, wouldn't Immortal Kings be everywhere, and Immortal Sovereigns be as common as stray dogs?

He, a small Heavenly Immortal, had run in here; although he had the help of Void Concealment, there were still huge risks.

This was just the outer region; he hadn't made a single sound, yet that group of Eerie Creatures had sensed his presence based purely on instinct.

Although that group of Eerie Creatures still couldn't confirm Su Ming's existence, this was already a bad sign.

If Su Ming were to continue deep into the Gods Fall Abyss, what difference would that be from an ant breaking into a Dragon's nest?

Fortunately, that group of Eerie Creatures seemed to truly believe it was just an illusion and had not actually discovered Su Ming's tracks.

However, just at the moment Su Ming was about to rush out of the Gods Fall Abyss.

A colder voice, bearing endless pressure, came from the depths of the Gods Fall Abyss.

"A bunch of idiots!"

The voice was like a thunderclap, shaking the entire Gods Fall Abyss.

Those Eerie Creatures of the Immortal King Realm instantly quieted down, as if they had been greatly intimidated.

"To actually let a bug escape right under your noses—I think you have been living in comfort for too long..."

Su Ming did not hear the rest of the words.

Because he had already rushed past the boundary of the Gods Fall Abyss and returned to the outside world.

Once he was out of the range of the Gods Fall Abyss, Su Ming's tense nerves finally relaxed slightly.

However, he dared not relax too much.

From what he had just heard, Su Ming knew he had been exposed.

Immediately after, he deactivated his Void Concealment state.

Then, he pushed his Great Void Art to the limit, turning into a streak of light and quickly fleeing the Eastern Underworld Sea.

At this moment, he could no longer care whether he would be discovered by other Eerie Creatures.

In the face of that terrifying Eerie Creature in the depths of the Gods Fall Abyss, the Eerie Creatures outside seemed insignificant in comparison.

He chose the route he had taken when coming, which was far away from the Eerie Sky City, and carefully bypassed it.

His speed was pushed to the limit; even if an Eerie Creature really did discover him, most would not be able to catch up to him.

...

A full half-year!

Su Ming barely stopped, crossing countless kilometers, and finally successfully returned to the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect.

After returning to the Sect, Su Ming headed straight for the Mission Hall without delay.

This trip out had taken him nearly a year.

When Su Ming, travel-worn, arrived at the Mission Hall and took out that recording crystal.

Elder Wang, who was dozing on the desk, woke up with a start.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes, and upon seeing Su Ming, he froze instantly.

Then, he stood up with a start, staring at Su Ming with an expression of disbelief.

"You... you actually came back?"

Elder Wang's tone was filled with shock, as if he had seen some incredible miracle.

Immediately after, as if he had thought of something, his face darkened, and his tone became somewhat unfriendly.

"Wait! You didn't just not go to the Gods Fall Abyss, did you?"

"To avoid having points deducted, you stayed outside the Sect for nearly a year?"

The more Elder Wang spoke, the more he felt it made sense, and his tone became increasingly severe.

"Let me tell you, doing that only counts as a failed mission, and you won't be able to get any points!"

"The requirement of this mission is to explore the Gods Fall Abyss, not for you to go out sightseeing!"

Before Elder Wang had finished speaking, Su Ming did not say much.

He simply, with an expressionless face, threw the recording crystal in his hand right in front of him.

The crystal bounced lightly on the desk, making a crisp sound.

"Elder Wang, whether I was sightseeing or not, won't you know once you take a look?"

Su Ming spoke indifferently, his tone calm yet exuding a sense of confidence.

"Oh, that's right!"
