God Emperor - Chapter 951

Chapter 951: 951

Poof!

The black shadow stood in place without moving . However, there was a layer of cold and dark power around him . It soundlessly swallowed the two golden palm prints from Mei Lanzhu .

All power waves in the cave residence vanished .

Mei Lanzhu was slightly shocked . The other’s cultivation was too powerful . Since he could dissolve the palm power so easily, he was at least an eighth level Half-Saint .

Whoosh!

The black shadow gradually showed himself . He walked out of the darkness to the center of the cave residence .

“Zhao Wuliang!” Mei Lanzhu was shocked . “How can it be you? Why did you sneak into my cave residence?”

Zhao Wuliang smiled . “I would like to cooperate with you . ”

“How?” Mei Lanzhu laughed coldly .

“You wish to kill Gu Linfeng while I wish to have the Yulin Blood Broadsword,” Zhao Wuliang said . “We can take what we need . ”

Mei Lanzhu stared deeply at him and laughed . “You are insatiable . Okay, if Gu Linfeng can be killed, we can definitely work together . However, Gu Linfeng is a Banner Lord of the Nether Heavenly Palace, after all . He’s the grand-disciple of Discipline King Haiming too . If we make it too obvious and someone finds out, it’ll be bad for both of us . ”

“The Bottomless Abyss is filled with danger,” Zhao Wuliang said confidently . “At least one or two Banner Lords sent by the Nether Heavenly Palace on missions dies every year . It’s more than normal for Gu Linfeng to die during a mission . ”

“Oh!” Mei Lanzhu grew interested . Sitting back into his chair, he asked, “Then, when do you plan on sending Gu Linfeng on a mission?”

“Tomorrow,” Zhao Wuliang said .

“Where?” Mei Lanzhu asked again .

“East of the Bottomless Abyss, at Mount Luofeng . I heard that blood beasts have appeared there recently . I will send Gu Linfeng to kill these blood beasts so he can get some practice . But if he dies there, that’s because his cultivation is too weak . No one else can be blamed, right?”

Mei Lanzhu snickered . “Mount Luofeng . Not bad . It’s a good place to bury Gu Linfeng . ”

“This is all I can do for you,” Zhao Wuliang said, chuckling . “I hope you can succeed and kill Gu Linfeng at once so he stops soliciting the Saintess’ favor . ”

“If I can’t even take care of Gu Linfeng, how can I still be the Deity of the Blood God Sect?” Mei Lanzhu studied Zhao Wuliang . “However, Gu Linfeng has a saint decree on him . If he escapes, it’ll be troublesome . ”

Mei Lanzhu thought for a moment . In the end, he decided to bring some more men .

Thus, after Zhao Wuliang left, Mei Lanzhu quickly messaged four Banner Lords of the Nether Heavenly Palace . He summoned them to the cave residence and started plotting about how to kill Gu Linfeng .

Zhao Shiqi was naturally included in the four Banner Lords that Mei Lanzhu had summoned .

…

Zhang Ruochen wore the Shooting Star Invisibility Cloak and had the Greenwood Buddhist Beads given by Master Yintuoluo . Thus, he was able to slip out of Cangtian Canyon and fly toward the Bottomless Abyss without alerting anyone .

When he reached the top of a hill that was hundreds of meters tall, he stopped . “It should be close,” he mumbled to himself .

Zhang Ruochen activated the Heavenly Eye and looked around, finally locking onto a point .

Boom!

He sent a palm print flying out . It printed onto the thick ice and snow surface . Snow danced in the air instantly . A deep ditch opened up on the ground .

A strange yowl sounded from the bottom of the ditch . A fat black cat jumped out, its fur sticking out like a porcupine . “Who?” it roared . “Who dares to disturb my sleep?”

Zhang Ruochen reached out and grabbed Blackie’s tail . Lifting it upside down, he knocked its head . “I sent you to the Bottomless Abyss to investigate the Saint Lady . How come you’re sleeping here?”

“Oh, it’s you!”

Blackie’s round eyes rolled around . “You’re finally here,” it complained . “I waited for five whole days, but you never showed up . As I waited, I ended up…sleeping! Zhang Ruochen, put me down . I’ve already found important information . ”

Zhang Ruochen let go .

Blackie dropped down with a thud . Its head buried into the snow . Its four claws struggled for a while before it could climb out .

Sitting on the ground, Blackie said mysteriously, “I went to the edge of the Bottomless Abyss and found an important secret . ”

“What secret?” Zhang Ruochen asked .

“Actually, I learned this by eavesdropping on two Banner Lords’ conversation,” Blackie said . “Apparently, the Bottomless Abyss is divided into three gradients . ”

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes narrowed . “What do you mean?”

Blackie lifted two paws and started gesturing . “Right now, we are on the ground . If we jump into the Bottomless Abyss from the ground, we don’t drop to the bottom immediately . Instead, we fall into the first gradient of the Bottomless Abyss . ”

Blackie began digging a hole in the ground . Pointing at the bottom, it said, “Apparently, Monks who fall into the first gradient can use some techniques to return to the ground . However, the environment in the first gradient is extremely dangerous . There are organisms called blood beasts . Even Banner Lords can die there . ”

Zhang Ruochen was overjoyed . “This means that the Saint Lady might have only fallen into the first gradient . ”

Blackie touched its whiskers and huffed . “With her fragile body and serious wounds, even if she fell into the first gradient and didn’t get eaten by blood beasts, she’d probably die from the fall anyway . ”

“Are you sure there are three gradients?” Zhang Ruochen asked .

“No . ” Blackie shook his head . “I went to the border of the Bottomless Abyss to check, but it’s a dark void inside . It’s too deep to see the bottom and there isn’t a first gradient at all . If you jump in, you’ll most likely die . ”

Zhang Ruochen’s expression grew serious . “Take me there . I will check personally . ”

“Sure . ”

Blackie stood up like a human . With two paws behind its back, it whooshed away like black wind . Zhang Ruochen used a physical technique and followed after .

Around an hour later, the man and cat finally arrived beside the Bottomless Abyss . It was too wide to see the other side . Standing at the edge, it was like standing at the end of the world .

The sky was filled with black clouds as dense as ink . The clouds were low—only dozens of meters above the ground—and made people feel repressed .

“It’s really a strange place . It feels like the sky will fall at any moment and kill all the creatures . ”

Zhang Ruochen looked up . He felt that his saint soul was suppressed by an invisible power and couldn’t fly out at all . The movement of Holy Qi inside was less than ten percent of the original speed .

Afterward, Zhang Ruochen tried his Spiritual Power and discovered that it was repressed as well . He could only use ten percent of its power .

Blackie cackled . “Now you know how strange it is, right? Even if there is a first gradient, not everyone can climb back up . ”

Zhang Ruochen nodded . “This place is similar to the Ghost God Valley of the netherworld . However, the pressure in the valley came from the god’s corpse . Here…it seems that the laws of the world have changed . ”

“Indeed,” Blackie said . “According to my analysis, the laws here are different from anywhere else . The Holy Qi and Spiritual Power that you cultivated in the Kunlun’s Field can only be used to ten percent of their original amount . ”

“Plus, once you jump down and reach the so-called first gradient, the laws there will probably be changed even more dramatically . It’ll be extremely impressive if you can even use one percent of your cultivation, let alone ten percent . ”

“No . ” Zhang Ruochen shook his head . “A Monk’s saint soul, Holy Qi, and Spiritual Power will be repressed, but you can still use your physical strength . ”

With that, five-colored light flooded from Zhang Ruochen’s hand . He slammed down on the ground .

The ground shook after the boom . The blood-red rock cracked with tiny fissures . Then, the rock within dozens of meters in radius started caving in . With a whoosh, it fell into the Bottomless Abyss .

Before this happened, Zhang Ruochen and Blackie jumped, pushing off and using the recoil force . They jumped to the land hundreds of feet away and didn’t fall with the rock .

Blackie widened its eyes, a bit dumbfounded . Half a beat later, it exhaled . “You…tsk, with your Five Elements Chaotic Body and all the divine blood you’ve refined, you’re probably physically stronger than some Saints . ”

Zhang Ruochen walked to the edge of the Bottomless Abyss again . Looking down, he sighed . “Unfortunately, the Saint Lady cultivates Spiritual Power . Her physical body isn’t any different from a regular person . If she fell in…she’ll bode ill rather than well . ”

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were determined . Even though he knew that the Saint Lady had probably died, he still decided to go check .

However, he first had to return to the Nether Heavenly Palace to confirm that the first gradient really existed .

“Someone’s rushing over,” Blackie whispered .

Zhang Ruochen looked behind him and saw countless red shadows flying toward the Bottomless Abyss . These people emanated thick Blood Qi . Zhang Ruochen could smell the faint scent of blood from dozens of miles away .

“How come Immortal Vampires are here?” Zhang Ruochen furrowed his brow .

He immediately activated his Shooting Star Invisibility Cloak . Wrapping it around him and Blackie, they disappeared from the side of the Bottomless Abyss .
