266: Arriving at the Abyss
As soon as Xiao Zhuo stepped into the passage after the Boundary Gate, a powerful force enveloped him, pushing him forward continuously.
Xiao Zhuo did not resist, allowing the torrent to carry him forward.
His mind was still immersed in the violent fluctuations that shook the Void Realm when the Boundary Gate opened just now. His extraordinary Comprehension Ability allowed him to keenly capture the faint Space Law Profound Truths within it.
In this bizarre spatial passage, Xiao Zhuo, drifting with the current, quietly entered a state of Epiphany.
Figures swiftly glided past him.
Occasionally, glances caught his strange state, but no one disturbed him.
Fighting within the Boundary Gate passage was strictly prohibited; it was an iron rule. Once the stability of the passage was disturbed, the consequences were unforeseeable.
Over the long years, Geniuses who experienced an Epiphany upon first witnessing the Boundary Gate open were not uncommon, especially those who specialized in the Dao of Space.
The Immortals and Demons, with their long Lifespans, were long accustomed to this, merely sweeping their envious gazes over Xiao Zhuo's figure before accelerating towards the end of the passage.
After an unknown period, the end of the passage appeared.
At this moment, Xiao Zhuo also slowly awakened from his profound Epiphany.
What greeted his eyes was an incredibly clear, slowly rotating black and white nebula.
Xiao Zhuo understood that he had successfully Transmigrated the Immortal-Demon Realm barrier and officially stepped into the Immortal-Demon Realm boundary realm.
At this moment, he faced a choice: the Immortal Realm, or the Demon Realm?
Most of the Immortals who had gone ahead were already gone.
Xiao Zhuo sensed briefly, a slight smile on his lips, then unhesitatingly transformed into a brilliant silver light and sped towards the Demon Realm.
The silver light tore through the dim sky of the Demon Realm, and after flying for only about ten breaths, Xiao Zhuo emerged from it.
With a slight thought, Universe God Step was quietly cast, and with one step, his figure instantly disappeared into the Void Realm.
His figure vanished, but in reality, he was in the spatial interlayer of the Demon Realm.
This was the most advanced stealth assassination technique for Space Law Cultivators; Xiao Zhuo could even launch attacks on the outside world directly from the interlayer!
And it was extremely difficult for non-Space Law Cultivators in the outside world to discover him.
In his previous sensing, the Divine Sense imprint he left on the young man's storage ring in Wanfu Tower was incredibly clear.
After locking onto the Aura of the group of Demon people ahead, Xiao Zhuo entered the spatial interlayer, silently trailing behind them.
Having just arrived in the Immortal-Demon Realm, he had no detailed map in hand, so following this group was undoubtedly the fastest way to find the Eternal Tribulation Demon Abyss.
Immortals and Demons were essentially Law beings, with similar power levels; the only difference lay in the attributes of Immortal Power and Demonic Qi.
In the spatial interlayer, Xiao Zhuo's figure flickered, like ink blending into shadow.
His Divine Sense, like invisible tentacles, firmly locked onto the seven Demonic Path Auras rapidly flying through the Demon Realm ahead.
Through the spatial barrier, the distorted light and shadow of the outside world presented a bizarre and blurry flowing scroll.
Suddenly, the outside light became even dimmer, as if passing through an invisible thick curtain.
Xiao Zhuo looked through his Divine Sense, and the true appearance of the Demon Realm was revealed to him completely for the first time.
The sky was not pure night, but an eternally oppressive lead-gray.
Heavy Demonic Clouds hung low like solidified lead blocks, and through their gaps, a few eerie pale or dark red lights occasionally leaked, but they could not dispel the gloomy dead silence that permeated the world.
The vast and boundless land was not as desolate as imagined; instead, it was covered with unusually dense vegetation.
Deep purple, dark green, almost pitch-black crimson... trees, vines, and moss displayed strange dark tones, their leaves shimmering with a metallic, cold luster.
The air was filled with dense and pure Demonic Qi, mixed with the pungent smell of sulfur, the metallic tang of rust, and a unique aroma of ancient decay.
At the end of his vision, the land was not flat.
A terrifying crack, as massive as a planetary scar, savagely tore through the vast Demon land.
It was not buried deep underground, but spanned the surface like a chasm, bottomless and tens of thousands of miles wide!
Its edges churned with visible, deep purple Demonic Qi like substantial smoke, emitting heart-pounding chaotic Law fluctuations from within!
Eternal Tribulation Demon Abyss!
This abyss was not isolated.
Above and around it was a vast Demon land where Demonic Qi was equally dense but relatively calmer.
Xiao Zhuo's Divine Sense keenly extended, capturing the massive city built against the mountains in the distance.
Its architectural style was rough and sharp, with distinct angles, mostly constructed from obsidian and some dark, dull metal, gleaming with a cold, eerie light.
Countless beings were active on the land.
Knights riding bone-winged demon steeds swept low, while muscular Mortals carrying huge ore baskets trekked along rugged mountain paths.
Even in some areas with weaker Demonic Qi, there were scattered villages, mostly inhabited by Mortals.
The vitality and physical strength of these Demon Realm Mortals far surpassed the top Martial Artists of the Minor Thousand Worlds, and their numbers were immense, forming the vast and solid foundation of the Demon Realm.
Zou Tianci, Tang Yanshou, and the other seven had a clear destination and did not stop, flying directly into the Eternal Tribulation Demon Abyss, reaching its bottom. The Demon Abyss was vast, and the dark purple demon sun in the sky could still illuminate its interior. Demon Cities flew past beneath the seven.
Finally, the seven flew to a cliff bordering the abyss, beneath which stood a massive complex of black palaces, shaped like a ferocious beast in hibernation.
Sharp towers pierced the gloomy sky like fangs.
The palace exterior was enveloped by a powerful Restriction light shield, its surface covered in dark purple runes that flowed like living things.
At the palace entrance, a massive stone tablet stood majestically, its inscription seemingly written with solidified demon blood, exuding an ancient and ferocious Aura—
Doumo Mansion!
Xiao Zhuo glided silently like a ghost in the spatial interlayer, watching the seven.
The seven quickly passed through a barrier/boundary and entered Doumo Mansion.
Xiao Zhuo, however, did not enter, merely penetrating the barrier/boundary with his Divine Sense.
The scene within the mansion entered his perception.
Houses stood in rows, and a huge training ground was riddled with pits and scorch marks, remnants of violent energy fluctuations.
Demon soldiers in ferocious armor patrolled in formation, their Auras fierce and bloodthirsty.
Dull thuds and painful roars came from afar, clearly indicating someone was tempering their Demon body in an extreme manner.
The Demonic Qi here was so dense it almost solidified into mist.
His gaze pierced through the spatial obstruction, catching sight of Zou Tianci and the others who had just landed on a black stone plaza.
Danger Perception was giving a slight warning; lingering outside Doumo Mansion would be dangerous.
Presumably, there must be Golden Immortal Rank or higher Cultivators guarding this Doumo Mansion.
His purpose was merely to find the Eternal Tribulation Demon Abyss and seize the opportunity to participate in the war between the two great abysses.
Now that he had arrived, there was no need to take risks at this moment.
The war between the Eternal Tribulation Demon Abyss and the Blood Prison Abyss was imminent, and it would undoubtedly require the recruitment of Demon Abyss Cultivators and civilian Demon Realm inhabitants.
With his strength, it should not be difficult to blend into the Demon army.
With this thought, Xiao Zhuo decisively withdrew, quietly retreating.
Having followed them all the way, he had already discovered many cities in the Demon Abyss boundary realm, many of which had strongest Cultivators no higher than Profound Immortal Rank Profound Demons.
Those places were more suitable footholds.
In the spatial interlayer, he traveled thousands of miles in one step.
Xiao Zhuo quickly moved away from Doumo Mansion, stepping out of the Void Realm and officially setting foot in the Eternal Tribulation Demon Abyss boundary realm.
Dense and pure Demonic Qi instantly surged into his pores, automatically operating the Free and Natural Heavenly Art, continuously transforming into pure Zizai Immortal Power.
Without needing to Cultivate intentionally, his body automatically absorbed and refined the surrounding energy like a bottomless pit.
Not far away, a Demon City named Ziluo City (Purple Luo City) stood majestically, its hundred-foot city walls exuding a chilling Aura.
Xiao Zhuo's Aura circulated, instantly changing his appearance.
He transformed into a stern young man with silver hair, silver eyes, and an unnaturally pale complexion.
A wide black hooded robe enveloped him.
Having just arrived in the Demon Abyss, caution was paramount, so he naturally would not show his true face.
After the transformation was complete, Xiao Zhuo's figure flickered, and he flew towards Ziluo City (Purple Luo City).
