Clang!
Wang Ye drew his Hellfire Devil Blade.
Feeling the strong resonance of the devilish blade, Wang Ye understood and said to Wen Rou, “Follow me.”
“Alright.” Wen Ron followed closely behind.
They moved forward swiftly.
Following the guidance of the devilish blade.
Before long, they arrived at a terrifying Black Abyss.
Wang Ye and Wen Ron floated in the air, looking down in astonishment.
This was the peculiar realm of the high-dimensional cosmos.
The entrance of the Black Abyss was immense, with a radius extending for light-years without end!
It felt as though the sky had collapsed into a gaping hole.
The hole harbored an immensely vast amount of energy, incredibly astonishing. No wonder the devilish blade reacted.
Looking down, it was bottomless!
A boundless and terrifying suction force emanated from the depths of the Black Abyss, emitting a chilling buzz!
It seemed intent on completely devouring them!
Their souls would be torn asunder!
The Black Abyss was so deep that one couldn’t see their fingers. Countless powerful auras permeated it. They were the experts of the dark race.
They were densely packed and innumerable!
This was the 108 Hell’s Dark Abyss, the dwelling place of the dark race experts!
Suddenly…
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
One by one, dark race experts leaped out of the dark abyss, seemingly sensing their own side’s aura and charging forth with furious roars.
Wen Ron’s sword clashed resolutely with theirs.
Wang Ye stood quietly above the Abyss, gazing downward.
The cell of Red Rouge Prison?
No.
This should be the passage to the 108 Hell’s Dark Abyss.
It wasn’t a spatial teleportation gate, but it existed in this incredibly peculiar form.
It was not only a dark abyss, but also a nest, and even a staircase!
“Let’s go.” Wang Ye shouted to Wen Rou and leaped downward.
Advance when necessary!
Fight when needed!
This was the creed of the Infinite World of Slaughter.
There was nothing to fear.
Swish! Swish!
The blade and sword light illuminated the dark abyss.
Wen Rou swiftly dispatched three dark race masters and followed closely behind Wang Ye.
A bottomless Abyss!
“This is the place.” Wang Ye flew downward rapidly.
The deeper they descended, the denser the dark substance and dark energy became, and the stronger the suction force grew!
If they couldn’t resist, they might be sucked to the bottom.
Their bodies would be pulverized, their willpower shattered, and their souls reduced to ashes!
In the depths of the dark abyss, there seemed to lurk an incredibly terrifying monster, instilling fear in all who beheld it.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Wen Rou continued her fierce battle above.
In the vast dark abyss nest, countless dark race beings thrived.
They were unending!
“Don’t linger in battle, Wen Rou. We can’t exterminate them all here!” Wang Ye quickly turned back to assist Wen Rou in clearing out the dark race experts who were besieging her, creating an escape route.
He understood Wen Rou too well.
Given Wen Rou’s character, once she got into a fight, she would fight to the bitter end!
However, this was the stronghold of the dark race, and the endless suction force of the dark abyss below was constantly sapping their energy.
If Wen Rou continued to battle, there was a high probability she would perish in the end.
In partnership, they had to advance and retreat together.
“Alright.” Although Wen Rou’s eyes were filled with murderous intent, her consciousness remained clear.
“I’ll lead the way, you attack,” Wang Ye stated succinctly.
The two of them moved like a well-oiled machine, descending rapidly.
Wang Ye’s Void Bind Ring gleamed, layer upon layer of shields protecting them with boundless energy.
With both blades in hand, they descended straight downward, lightning crackling around them, forming a natural barrier that made it difficult for the surrounding dark race experts to approach.
Combined with Wen Rou’s sword attacks, the slaughter continued endlessly!
Their cooperation was unparalleled.
Wave after wave of dark race experts were dispersed.
The relentless suction force from the dark abyss below persisted.
As they carved out a path forward, they also delved deeper.
The unfathomable abyss exuded an indescribable sense of terror.
It felt as if they were descending straight into the 108th level of hell.
At the bottom lay the most terrifying demons of hell.
Fighting in such darkness was akin to falling into despair.
But both Wang Ye and Wen Rou possessed unyielding willpower.
After half a cosmic day had passed, a glimmer of light finally appeared.
The two exchanged glances, expressions filled with relief.
Their speed increased once more, and a whole new world unfolded before them.
A fracture appeared in the dark abyss!
As if the very fabric of reality was tearing apart, black stars dotted the sky, and clusters of dark crystals emerged.
This was a new realm.
With a resounding boom, Wang Ye struck down another dark race expert and descended further from the dark abyss.
Stepping onto the shattered rocks beside the abyss, it felt as if they had crossed into another lifetime.
The endless dark abyss loomed like a behemoth, its insatiable suction force growing stronger the deeper they went.
It was difficult to fathom its depth, let alone discern the monstrous entity lurking at the bottom!
Yet Wang Ye knew that with his current strength, he would be swallowed whole long before reaching even one-tenth of the abyss’s depth, let alone its bottom.
Such strength was beyond his current capacity to withstand.
“Step.” Wen Rou landed beside Wang Ye. Despite the relentless battles, she showed no signs of fatigue, her spirit resolute. Her eyes gleamed as she surveyed their surroundings. “We’ve reached the second level!”
“Yes.” Wang Ye confirmed as he accessed the world panel.
The information displayed had undergone a complete transformation.
[Level 2: Black Silkworm Prison.]
[Contestants: 5/60000]
[Time Limit: 164-48]
“Three people have already arrived before us,” Wang Ye pondered.
Indeed, great minds think alike, and there were quite a few intelligent individuals here.
Rather than rushing to compete for the sole mission, it was wiser to seek opportunities in less crowded areas where chances were greater.
However, breaking through this layer of the dark abyss wouldn’t be easy.
In addition to requiring courage and bravery, it demanded significant willpower and strength.
Otherwise, there was a high likelihood of perishing within the dark abyss.
His gaze shifted to the mission panel.
The missions on the second level were markedly different from those on the first.
“Progressive Mission: Capture the black silkworm. Points awarded based on its grade.”
“Difficult Mission: Locate the five-piece Black Silkworm Armor Set. Points awarded based on the loot.”
“Unique Mission: Find and dismantle the Black Silkworm Secret Realm, eliminate the Black Silkworm Master, and earn points based on mission progress.”
What?
Wang Ye was taken aback.
A five-piece Black Silkworm Armor Set?
Searching for treasures?
Wasn’t this putting oneself directly in harm’s way?
“Is this useful?” Wang Ye immediately attempted bloodline Treasure Hunting, and his eyes brightened.
It was indeed effective!
Six reactions!
“The Black Silkworm Armor Set should elicit five reactions…” Wang Ye raised his head and met Wen Rou’s gaze. It suddenly dawned on him.
One of the reactions stemmed from Wen Rou.
Not because she possessed one of the Black Silkworm Armor pieces, but rather, she harbored an indestructible artifact or supreme treasure within her internal world that remained unbound.
He could sense unbound or ownerless treasures.
“The distant light spots must be the genuine components of the Black Silkworm Armor.” Wang Ye realized in an instant.
The other light spots likely indicated participants who had arrived earlier.
They weren’t too far ahead, and such discrepancies were normal given their varying speeds while traveling from the border to the center.
“The Black Silkworm Armor Set comprises only two parts. Where are the remaining three? Were they taken, or have they been claimed?” Wang Ye didn’t dwell on it for long, as he couldn’t conclude.
First, they needed to acquire those two parts!
“Wen Rou, you take the lead. Let’s proceed,” Wang Ye instructed.
The competition on the first level was too intense, but the mission on this floor had practically fallen into their laps, they couldn’t afford to miss it.
“Understood,” Wen Rou responded obediently.
She trusted Wang Ye’s judgment and ability.
Within the human virtual cosmic, a buzz of excitement filled the air.
The developments in the 108 Hell’s Dark Abyss left them continuously amazed.
“The combination of Wen Rou and Wang Ye is incredibly strong. They’ve already reached the second level so quickly!”
“Yes, they don’t even have flying artifacts, yet they’ve managed to catch up to the progress solely based on their speed. They’re among the top contenders!”
“They must be the first to form such a powerful alliance. What foresight! Completing the tasks in the Infinite World of Slaughter alone is highly inefficient and risky.”
“That’s not necessarily true. Look at Donghuang Wanyi. He single-handedly saved two cells in the Red Rouge Prison, as if he had the divine eye. Now he’s leading by a wide margin!”
In the Red Rouge Prison,
“Simple! Let’s take them down!” Donghuang Wanyi laughed heartily.
With the Trye Dragon Sword in hand, he engaged in a wide-ranging battle, while the True Dragon Cloud Robe emitted a golden glow, protecting him.
It felt exhilarating!
The three cells in the Red Rouge Prison were exactly as he remembered them!
The Infinite World of Slaughter was a replica of the 108 Hell’s Dark Abyss model, allowing him to easily locate the three cells in the Red Rouge Prison!
As for the dark race experts on the first level, they were the weakest. The deeper they went, the stronger they became!
“The 108 Hell’s Dark Abyss lasts for 180 cosmic days.”
“Considering the task difficulty, I can secure at least three unique missions. If I’m lucky, I might monopolize the top four unique missions. Even if I don’t earn any points in the 72 Heavens Halls in the second half, I can still secure the first position.”
“The Infinite World of Slaughter has underestimated me this time.”
“108 Hell’s Dark Abyss? They’ve practically walked into my trap!”
Boom!
Donghuang Wanyi eliminated all the prison guards and rescued all human captives, completing the sole mission of the Red Rouge Prison!
“One cell fetches 3 million points, so three cells make it 9 million.”
“It’s a bit low.”
“Considering it’s the only mission on the first level, the difficulty is low. But it increases on the second level.”
Donghuang Wanyi smiled as he glanced at the leaderboard. With 10,250,000 points, he was comfortably in the lead!
Taishu Xiaoyao, ranked second, only had 2.21 million points.
It was a world of difference.
“Oh?” Donghuang Wanyi was slightly surprised.
He noticed a change in the world panel.
The sole mission had dimmed, indicating its completion.
On the pitch-black map at the center of the panel, three red circles appeared alongside his original white dot.
The location was where the three cells of the Red Rouge Prison were located.
“Head to the portal to the second level?” Donghuang Wanyi looked at the nearby teleportation channel, smiling. “That’s convenient. Saves me from climbing the Dark Abyss Stairway.”
“The second level, Black Silkworm Prison.”
“No problem.”
In the Black Silkworm Prison, on the totem rack of the dark race, a slender part of a supreme treasure, covered in terrifying black patterns, was being worshipped by the clansmen.
“Arm armor.” Wang Ye handed it over to Wen Rou, who looked slightly surprised.
“One for each of us. Since the difficult mission is to find the Black Silkworm Armor Set, we should collect all the pieces before tallying the points,” Wang Ye explained with a smile.
Everything went smoothly. The Dark Abyss was conveniently located in the central area.
No one contested them for the first two parts, which were quickly obtained from the tribe.
However, the last three components remained undetected by treasure hunting.
But that wasn’t a problem.
Wang Ye had plenty of tricks up his sleeve.
After all, he was an expert in Treasure Hunting!
