Alchemy Master

Chapter 640, Falling Into The Abyss

Translator: Silavin

Under the reckless adding of spiritual herbs into the small Pill Furnace, Qin Yichen was drawing ever closer to the Fallen God Abyss.

Not knowing how long he had walked, Qin Yichen’s figure finally appeared before the core region of this Unreturnable Land, the Fallen God Abyss.

Qin Yichen gazed at the bottomless dark abyss, his eyes narrowing slightly.

That pitch-black abyss had not a single ray of light, as if it were a Demon’s gaping maw, devouring one’s Soul and causing one to shudder with fear.

*Boom! Boom! Boom!*

From time to time, tremendous sounds echoed from within, causing the very earth to tremble.

At this moment, Qin Yichen could not spare any attention to observe his surroundings, for the sounds emanating from the abyss continuously assaulted his consciousness. Presently, he could only desperately guard his mind. Under these sounds, even with the protection of the small Pill Furnace, a moment’s carelessness could result in him becoming lost to these sounds.

If one were to lose their sanity in this cursed land, there would be only one outcome, to become an unremarkable pile of ash upon this earth!

[I need to cross over!] While desperately guarding his consciousness, Qin Yichen held only this one resolute thought. His gaze fixed upon a bridge above the abyss that seemed to have no visible end.

This bridge was constructed from chains as thick as rice bowls, with one end connected to this side of the abyss, while the other end led into endless darkness. From the end of the chains, Soul-piercing howls continuously emanated, making it appear like a passage to Hell.

This dark bridge constructed from several iron chains seemed to sense the presence of living beings and immediately began to sway continuously.

Gazing at the constantly swaying iron chains, Qin Yichen’s expression became unsightly. However, he also knew that in this place where flight was impossible, crossing the Fallen God Abyss required this as the only path!

The light barrier dimming at a speed visible to the naked eye made Qin Yichen acutely aware that he had no time to waste further. The curse here was strong to an unimaginable degree. The small Pill Furnace, whatever it might be, still radiated brilliance under this curse, but the consumption was also substantial.

Every second spent here consumed nearly one precious medicinal herb.

*Cing!* Qin Yichen’s palm grasped the edge of the iron chain. The moment of contact caused his brow to furrow tightly, and his palm nearly recoiled involuntarily.

Those chains, appearing to be made of some unknown material, emanated an extremely cold aura. Upon first contact, that aura nearly froze his entire arm solid!

[It’s all or nothing!] Qin Yichen silently roared in his heart. At this moment, he had no path of retreat!

Finally, Qin Yichen gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and stood upon one of the iron chains. In that instant, his vision rapidly darkened, and even all his perception was sealed within his body. The powerful Spiritual Energy that had originally rippled around his form was forcibly compressed back into his body.

This sudden sealing caused Qin Yichen to be startled. However, he did not panic. Gripping one iron chain with both hands, his figure moved forward.

Upon this passage, having walked barely two hundred metres, when once again supplementing the small Pill Furnace, Qin Yichen discovered with shock that the medicinal materials he had prepared were now nearly depleted!

At this moment, he stood upon the iron chain like a wooden figure, having no idea how far remained to the end.

*Rumble!*

Just as Qin Yichen’s attention wavered, a deafening sound erupted from within the Fallen God Abyss.

Under this sound, the curse that had already been strong enough to nearly destroy even the small Pill Furnace’s light barrier suddenly intensified.

Under this curse, the small Pill Furnace, with no medicinal materials left to supplement it, finally had its brilliance completely dissipate.

*Crack!*

The light barrier upon Qin Yichen’s body surface also shattered completely as the small Pill Furnace dimmed.

Almost instantly, an evil and corrosive curse invaded Qin Yichen’s body.

Under this corrosion, Qin Yichen discovered with shock that his usually invincible Taotie Martial Soul had not even retaliated. At this moment, he clearly felt that his body was already showing signs of withering.

*Damn it!*

Perceiving this change, Qin Yichen’s expression changed drastically. Almost simultaneously, those Soul-piercing sounds had already erupted like thunder beside his ears. The consciousness he had desperately guarded was also breached in that instant.

*Crash!*

With the wild dancing of the iron chains, Qin Yichen’s figure stumbled. Having not even traversed the two hundred metres of this bridge, his form plummeted rapidly toward the Fallen God Abyss below, darkness swiftly swallowing his silhouette.

This entire sequence of events occurred in mere seconds. The entire Fallen God Abyss once again fell into brief silence.

Heavenly Dragon Imperial City

A piece of news spread rapidly throughout the entire Heavenly Dragon Imperial Dynasty as if it had grown wings.

Qin Yichen had fallen out with the Feng Family!

This news had many versions. Some said Qin Yichen had been arrogant in attitude, offending some important figures of the Feng Family, and had already been eliminated by the enraged Feng Family. Others said Qin Yichen had been detained…

Various versions emerged endlessly, and as for their authenticity, it was impossible to verify.

However, the Feng Family’s non-defensive stance made almost everyone aware that Qin Yichen and the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce he had single-handedly built were finished.

The Feng Family acted in a low-key manner, but everyone knew that this colossal entity commanded respect even from the Royal Families of the various Imperial Dynasties!

Qin Yichen’s powerful rise during the Alchemy Manor Summit had drawn considerable attention to him.

More perceptive individuals had revealed his possession of a gold card from the Feng Family’s World Aplenty Hall, leading people to speculate that he had a considerable relationship with the Feng Family.

Precisely because of this, the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce had been able to establish itself within the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Dynasty in such a short time.

Now, with news emerging that the Feng Family had now turned their backs on Qin Yichen, with Qin Yichen not returning since visiting the Feng Family, the situation had become clear.

For a time, the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce was pushed to the forefront of the storm.

Those Forces that had finally dismissed their intentions once again turned their attention to the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce.

Who would not want a share of such a substantial piece of meat?!

Moreover, perhaps by targeting the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce, they could indirectly curry favour with the Feng Family. This kind of advantageous situation made countless people envious and eager.

After a dark and windy night had passed, the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce’s headquarters in the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Dynasty had been completely ransacked.

Fortunately, the core personnel of the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce had all been taken away in advance by Xing Yuhuan and hidden.

Although this matter had been conducted with extreme secrecy, no wall in this world was impervious to wind. When quite a few people came to their senses afterwards, their gazes immediately turned to the Xing Family, which had just changed its Patriarch.

Although the Xing Family was one of the top Forces within the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Dynasty, amongst the Forces interested in the substantial prize that was the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce, there was no shortage of Families of this calibre!
