Legend of Swordsman

4864 Black Abyss Prison

Cheng Qing’s expression was extremely grave. He naturally knew the severity of this matter.

He had been the one to deal with the black energy that had burst out of the Black Mountains several times before. Each time, the scale of the black energy was extremely small. At most, it had only devoured an entire batch of prisoners and supervisors.

However this time, the black energy had devoured all the living beings in the Heavenly Region!

From this alone, one could see how serious the situation was.

Thinking of this, he reminded Jian Wushuang, “Brother Jian, the black energy can easily be contaminated by Yan power. Once it’s contaminated, it’s difficult to get rid of it. So, when we reach the place later, try not to use Yan power if you can.”

Jian Wushuang nodded slightly and looked through the void at the Heavenly Region that was emitting dark energy.

As soon as he stepped into the first Heavenly Region of the Lower Three Heavens, an indescribable, rotten aura of death hit him in the face. The source of thɪs content is ɴoᴠel ꜰɪre.nᴇt

As far as the eye could see, there were layers of Black Mountain that stretched out to the end of the horizon.

The dark clouds devoured every inch of space, making it hazy and chaotic to the extreme.

The four figures all withdrew their Yan power and walked forward step by step.

Both the Young Emperor and Cheng Qing looked like they could not bear it, as if they were being suppressed by some unknown force.

On the other hand, Jian Wushuang looked calm, as if he was not affected at all.

As he walked in the sky that was high up in the clouds, the aura of death was dense.

The corpses of prisoners could be seen everywhere. They were all sprawled on the ground, and when the wind blew, they all turned into black dust. It was extremely strange.

“Young Emperor, it seems like the first Heavenly Region has been completely destroyed.” Cheng Qing looked ahead and said. “If that’s the case, I’m afraid it’ll be extremely difficult to find the source.”

The Young Emperor who was walking in front did not say anything. He also felt that it was tricky. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

He had taken over the Black Mountain area in the Lower Three Heavens since he was young, and there had been no bad signs.

However, in the past few years, black energy had started to appear in the Black Mountain area. Each time, the black energy did not appear in a large area, only spreading to one of the Black Mountains.

However, today, the black energy that came out of nowhere had devoured an entire Heavenly Region, and none of the living beings here survived.

At this moment, Jian Wushuang, who had been silent all this while, said, “I think we should be able to find the source by following the direction of the prisoners’ corpses on the ground.”

The Young Emperor looked over and saw the corpses of the prisoners lying on the ground. They were like a path that stretched into the distance.

“We can’t stay here for long, let’s finish this quickly,” he said, and then took the lead.

As he was unable to use Yan power, his speed was quite slow.

The further they went, the more shocking scenes appeared.

Countless corpses of the prisoners were piled up like a mountain, almost spreading into the distance.

Moreover, these prisoners had all died in a very strange way. Their clothes had all disappeared, and their exposed bodies had become bones covered in black threads.

Jian Wushuang frowned slightly. What was the so-called black energy that could affect living beings so much?

One had to know that the prisoners trapped in the Black Mountain were at least Half Ancestors. Even though they were bound by the chains around their necks, they did not do anything to resist. This was too strange.

“Could it be that this black energy has a restraining effect on Yan power?” He slowly stretched out his palm and touched the black energy flowing in the void.

The black energy was dry and cold, with a certain kind of heart-palpitating aura. It did not seem to be a product of this Heavenly Region.

They gathered their thoughts and continued to pass through the mountains of corpses piled up by the corpses of prisoners.

When he passed the highest mountain of corpses, a black abyss appeared in front of Jian Wushuang.

Endless black energy spurted out from the vast and endless abyss.

Even Yan Immortals felt tiny before this abyss.

The Black Mountain that had collapsed long ago slanted into the abyss, and the abyss continued to expand. The corpses of the prisoners fell into it.

“Since when did the first Heavenly Region have an abyss like this?” Cheng Qing said in shock.

The Young Emperor frowned. “It seems that all the black energy came from the collapsed underground.”

“What do we do next?” Cheng Qing asked again. “I’m afraid that with just the few of us, there’s no way we can seal such a deep abyss again.”

In the end, the Young Emperor shook his head in disappointment. “That’s all we can do. Let’s go back.”

He did not even dare to investigate the strange destruction of the first Heavenly Region in the Lower Three Heavens.

After making their decision, they prepared to leave.

However, just as he turned around, he felt his heart palpitate and he turned around subconsciously.

The dense black energy in the air quietly turned into a vortex and began to slowly rotate.

“Quickly run!” He suddenly shouted and warned.

However, it was too late. Almost at the same time as Jian Wushuang’s words, the vortex formed by the black energy started to spin madly.

The towering Black Mountains suddenly broke apart and were sucked into the madly swirling vortex.

Jian Wushuang and the others were also swallowed by the unimaginable suction force.

The dark clouds connected to the ground, the entire Heavenly Region seemed to be falling into the black abyss prison.

As he was sucked into the vortex, Jian Wushuang felt the world spinning around him. As he could not use Yan power, he was in a passive position.

The Young Emperor, the skinny purple-robed man, and Chen Qing were not any better off. They disappeared almost at the same time they were swallowed.

Jian Wushuang opened his eyes in the vortex while suppressing the dizziness of his divine sense.

As far as the eye could see, it was endless darkness.

This surging vortex kept falling, and the entire black abyss seemed to have no end. No one knew where it led to.

After an unknown period of time, when he felt a hard and cold touch under his body, everything seemed to return to silence.

The vortex slowly dissipated, leaving only an ancient, silent, deep sound in the surroundings.

“Aiyo, damn it, my waist…” Cheng Qing’s painful curses resounded in the abyss.

An indescribable echo reverberated in the abyss like a deafening thunder that shook the Nine Heavens.

“Be quiet.” The young Emperor’s voice rang out.

As he stood in the black source, a golden light flashed in the depths of Jian Wushuang’s eyes.

Even though he was in the unknown world of extreme darkness, he could still clearly see every inch of the ground and every inch of space.

The bottom of the abyss was completely made up of black and irregular strange rocks, which were dense and cold.
