Swallowed Star: Copy God

Hearing this, Ye Yun immediately perked up, his expression becoming focused as he listened attentively to Venerable Yu Meng's words.

“Jin Shi King, who used to work under me, was originally a core member of the Virtual Universe Company's Primal Secret Realm. When he was at the Universe level, he was truly fearless like a newborn calf. He accepted a cultivation mission in Purgatory Abyss. Although he didn't successfully complete the mission, he spent ten years there and retreated unscathed. His understanding of the situation there is definitely more comprehensive than the information provided by the company.”

Ye Yun nodded slightly. Indeed, according to the description of the Purgatory Abyss mission and the information provided by the Virtual Universe Company, the danger levels in different areas of the Purgatory Abyss vary greatly. The tenth level is a watershed in terms of difficulty. If you don't enter the tenth level or above, it won't be much more difficult than other desperate-level missions.

“Since Jin Shi King has experience entering the Purgatory Abyss, why don't you, Teacher, introduce Jin Shi King to me? I can visit him to learn about the situation, which would save you the trouble.”

Before Ye Yun could finish speaking, he saw that Venerable Yu Meng and Venerable Zhou Niu's expressions had darkened somewhat, especially Venerable Yu Meng, whose face, usually devoid of expression, now carried a hint of resentment.

Venerable Zhou Niu coughed lightly and said in a low voice,

“Ye Yun, Jin Shi King fell millions of years ago, dying in the cosmic territory occupied by the Zerg race. Moreover, due to certain special reasons, there was no way to revive and rescue him, so…”

Ye Yun didn't expect this situation, but after considering Venerable Yu Meng's description, he fully understood. Venerable Yu Meng was responsible for assassinating geniuses of other races, and Jin Shi King, as Venerable Yu Meng's subordinate, was inevitably responsible for this aspect as well. Being in the territory of the Zerg race meant that one's life was in danger with the slightest carelessness.

The atmosphere became quiet for a moment. After a while, Venerable Yu Meng waved his hand and said softly,

“Let's not mention the past! Ye Yun, I'll remind you of a few things to pay attention to, just keep them in mind. However, once you actually enter the 'Purgatory Abyss,' everything will still depend on yourself. You must be extra careful, understand?”

Ye Yun stood in the sky above the manor, looking at a dark spaceship gradually approaching in the distance. He waved to Asitu and Illusion Void King beside him with a smile,

“Asitu, Senior Brother Arcfall, go back! I will definitely return safely after ten years!”

After saying these words, Ye Yun leaped up and plunged into the open hatch of the spaceship. Then, the spaceship abruptly turned its head and accelerated rapidly, heading towards the high sky.

Asitu and Illusion Void King exchanged a glance. Neither of them said anything, only hoping in their hearts that Ye Yun could return safely.

The dark F-class spaceship jumped out of the heavily guarded Wu Chen Time-Space, and after arriving in the starry sky, it instantly accelerated to the speed of light in less than a second, entering the dark universe. After traveling for about three days, the spaceship exited the dark universe. Ye Yun looked at the dark spot gradually approaching in the distance, stood up from the comfortable seat, stretched his arms and shoulders, and muttered to himself with a smile,

“It’s time to get busy again.”

As the spaceship gradually stopped in the starry sky, Ye Yun saw a dark palace standing in front of him. Ye Yun didn't know what words to use to describe this darkness, as if all the light in the world would be completely absorbed when it encountered this darkness, without any reflection. Staring at it for too long would even breed a sense of despair in one's heart, making it extremely terrifying.

At this time, a Virtual Universe Company envoy dressed in a silver robe came to Ye Yun's side and said respectfully,

“Your Highness Ye Yun, we have arrived at the entrance to the 'Purgatory Abyss.' Purgatory King has just sent a message that your mission permissions have passed the review and you can enter the 'Purgatory Abyss'.”

Ye Yun nodded lightly, glanced at the dark palace not far away, and immediately retracted his gaze. He had learned about the strong guardian of the 'Purgatory Abyss' before coming, named Purgatory King.

Strangely, this Purgatory King seemed to be a strong person from an extremely ancient era. After the human race occupied and developed the Primal Secret Realm, he had been guarding outside the 'Purgatory Abyss,' and it was unknown how many years had passed since then.

Ye Yun shook his head, adjusted his mentality, shifted his gaze away from the dark 'Purgatory Palace,' and noticed the scene below the palace.

Below the dark 'Purgatory Palace' was a huge crack that was hundreds of millions of kilometers long, standing upright in the starry sky. The width of the crack was also a full hundred kilometers, but it was somewhat insignificant compared to the length. Therefore, from a distance, it looked like a 'crack in the sky.' The crack was filled with darkness, making it impossible to see the situation inside.

This huge crack was the entrance to the 'Purgatory Abyss' that made countless geniuses change color upon hearing it!

Ye Yun took a light breath, jumped out of the spaceship's hatch, and a dark blue armor instantly covered his entire body. Then, he flew rapidly towards the crack, and soon plunged directly into the crack, deep into the dark crack, disappearing from people's sight.

And that dark spaceship had already stopped quietly in the starry sky. During these ten years, the spaceship would remain here until Ye Yun came out one day and took him back to Wu Chen Time-Space.

After Ye Yun plunged into the huge crack, he immediately felt an extremely clear sense of spatial vibration, and the vibration became stronger and stronger. After reaching an extreme point, it suddenly returned to calm. The next moment, Ye Yun regained his perception of the surrounding scene, knowing that he had entered the real 'Purgatory Abyss.'

The 'Purgatory Abyss' was a strange place naturally born in the Primal Secret Realm. That crack that was hundreds of millions of kilometers long was really just an entrance. Every part of this crack was filled with extremely strong spatial law fluctuations. Once the spatial law force in this crack was touched, one would be directly teleported into the 'Purgatory Abyss.'

Ye Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, his mental power spreading out, carefully sensing the surrounding scenery. He saw a dim world, and the vast land stretched out as far as the eye could see. The whole scene was silent to a terrifying degree. There were no bright colors anywhere, and he could not sense the presence of life.

It was as if Ye Yun was the only living person between heaven and earth, with black and gray tones filling his eyes. In just a short while, Ye Yun felt an extreme sense of oppression welling up in his heart, and he felt a restless urge to vent.

Ye Yun's expression didn't change much, and he quickly suppressed the strangeness in his heart. He knew that the environment of the 'Purgatory Abyss' itself was filled with a special atmosphere that stirred people's hearts, causing those who entered it to undergo rounds of psychological torment and torture at all times. Most people who entered the 'Purgatory Abyss' couldn't even withstand this most common environment, let alone other dangers.

This was just the most common danger of the 'Purgatory Abyss', but if one couldn't suppress the madness and violence that were aroused in their heart, they would gradually lose their self-awareness and eventually become 'beasts' who only knew how to kill. Even if they didn't die, they would no longer be complete humans, and they would be locked in this 'Purgatory Abyss' forever, truly becoming a part of it.

Moreover, the environment of the 'Purgatory Abyss' was very special. The cosmic energy here was also affected by the environment, tainted with a sense of madness. This made the cosmic energy here completely unusable for absorption. Once one's own consumption was too great, they could only rely on the energy they carried with them to replenish it. However, this was very inconvenient in battle. If replenishment was not timely, it was very likely that they would lose the power to protect themselves, and they would become more vulnerable to various unexpected situations.

Ye Yun restrained his own aura, and a powerful will surged forth, completely suppressing the throbbing in his heart, unaffected by anything. He cautiously advanced on this empty land.

According to the information provided by the Virtual Universe Company, Ye Yun knew that this 'Purgatory Abyss' had a total of eighteen levels, each of which seemed to be an independent special space, but they were also deeply connected.

Having just passed through the huge crack entrance outside and teleported in, he had arrived at the first level of the 'Purgatory Abyss'. This level had the largest area of all eighteen levels, and it was also the least dangerous.

Ye Yun ran on the ground, his speed was very fast, but he didn't cause any air fluctuations, showing his strong control over space and the law of wind. However, Ye Yun could clearly feel that after entering the 'Purgatory Abyss', his own perception of the laws seemed to be blocked and obscured by something, not as clear as in the outside world.

This also made Ye Yun secretly cautious. Although he couldn't see anything for the time being, as the levels increased one after another, unknown dangers would inevitably emerge one after another. Although he had many trump cards, he must not be careless.

After walking for about ten minutes, a black hurricane suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the distance. The range of the hurricane was extremely large, almost completely occupying Ye Yun's line of sight in front of him. Even from such a distance, Ye Yun could clearly hear the 'whooshing' sound of the wind, which seemed extremely abrupt and strange in this silent world.

Ye Yun stared at this suddenly appearing black hurricane, his expression also becoming serious.

“Purgatory Wind”

This black hurricane is called 'Purgatory Wind', which is a unique phenomenon only found in the 'Purgatory Abyss'. The generation of this 'Purgatory Wind' has no warning, it is completely random, and it is full of uncertainty.

The 'Purgatory Wind' carried a fierce power and howled from a distance. Ye Yun stood on the spot, his battle armor fully deployed. After a full minute, this 'Purgatory Wind' finally passed over Ye Yun and swept away into the distance.

Ye Yun, who was protected by the battle armor, was not harmed in any way. This 'Purgatory Wind' looked powerful, but in the most violent area of the hurricane, it was only equivalent to the full blow of an ordinary Universe level ninth rank, which posed no threat to Ye Yun at all.

However, Ye Yun's expression did not relax, because he saw a new 'Purgatory Wind' forming not far away, but this time it did not blow in his direction, but swept towards another direction.

‘Could it be that I have encountered the outbreak period of the 'Purgatory Abyss'? ’

Just as Ye Yun was thinking, a sense of danger suddenly surged in his heart. Ye Yun moved a long distance to the side without even thinking. The moment Ye Yun left, a black-gray flame suddenly appeared in his original position. The flame was about twenty meters high, and it didn't seem to be burning fiercely, but the power contained in it had reached the level of a Domain Lord!

Ye Yun's face became even more solemn at this time. This flame is called 'Purgatory Fire', which is also a special product of the 'Purgatory Abyss'. This 'Purgatory Fire' is extremely special, it is the fire of the spirit and soul. Once burned, it is as if facing endless soul attacks, completely unable to defend against, and the threat is even greater than the 'Purgatory Wind'.

According to the information Ye Yun obtained about the 'Purgatory Abyss', although the first level would occasionally have 'Purgatory Wind' and 'Purgatory Fire' appearing, the frequency would not be so high, and the power would probably be maintained at the Universe level, which was not too dangerous for ordinary core Universe level members.

The current situation is completely different from the information in the 'guide'. The 'Purgatory Fire' that suddenly appeared has actually reached the level of a Domain Lord!

This is a scene that only frequently appears above the tenth level, and the only explanation for such a situation is that the 'Purgatory Abyss' has entered a special period of irregular outbreaks.

‘Am I really that unlucky? During the outbreak period of the 'Purgatory Abyss', the danger of the first level has reached such a frequent level, then how dangerous should the tenth level be? ’

Even Ye Yun, who had many trump cards, couldn't help but become more cautious. The 'Purgatory Abyss' was famous, and the mortality rate of over 99% was not a joke.

Sensing the special changes in the 'Purgatory Abyss', Ye Yun was not so eager to go to the higher levels. He planned to carefully feel the current outbreak situation of the 'Purgatory Abyss' on the first level, and after having a greater grasp in his heart, he would explore the deeper abyss levels.
