The First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 537: Chapter 537: Entering Dragon Fall Abyss_1

”CLANG!”

A terrifying surge of sword Qi engulfed Shen Mo’s figure, hammering at his Dao Body like a blacksmith!

Soon after, the Sword Light dissipated one by one. The hill under his feet was leveled, and his robe was slashed and tattered.

Despite that, aside from his left shoulder being wounded by the reincarnation and Demon Slaying sword Qi, Shen Mo sustained no other injuries. The moment he activated the Three-Heads Six-Arms True Immortal Technique, the sword wounds quickly healed.

The Orange-quality Destiny is indeed extraordinary.

Shen Mo changed into a new robe, retrieved the Demon Slaying Sword, and began to ponder.

After testing, he found that the defense enhancement provided by the ”Indestructible Body” was not inferior to the True Immortal Magic that had reached the Epic level. After combining the two external magic techniques and this Destiny, his physical strength could rival the body of a middle-stage Class IV demonic beast!

With the help of this Destiny, Shen Mo’s confidence in forcing his way into the Dragon Fall Abyss increased further.

”SWISH!”

The blood flag fluttered fiercely. The surging blood light roiled, and the Ghost Bride and other Demon Soul Generals were collected into it.

After more than ten days of hard battle, the fight at Golden Light Ridge also came to an end.

Even from eight thousand miles away, Shen Mo could still sense that the Class V powerhouses fighting in the outermost heavens had ceased their battle several days prior.

The battles at the Golden Core Realm and Class IV levels then lasted for a few more days before gradually subsiding.

The Ghost Bride and other Demon Soul Generals were among the last Class IV beings to withdraw from the battlefield. Those great demons from the Outer Zone were clearly heavily depleted and did not pursue the Demon Soul Generals’ trail here.

Of course, even if they came to kill him, Shen Mo wouldn’t necessarily be afraid of them.

”Moro Shen, the over one hundred thousand creatures we saved have all been settled.” Flower Fairy Mi flapped her wings and flew before him, chirping excitedly.

It was clear that she was genuinely delighted.

Accompanying her was the white-haired old man, the main person in charge of the city. His face bore a trace of weariness; he was evidently exhausted from managing everything these past few days.

”You’ve worked hard these past few days, Fellow Daoist Zhu. Here are two vials of Elixirs for you to recuperate.”

Saying this, Shen Mo waved his sleeve, and two vials of Grade IV Elixirs landed in the white-haired old man’s hands.

”I can’t...”

The white-haired old man hurriedly tried to refuse, his eyes filled with deep emotion. ”Fellow Daoist Shen, it was already an immense feat for you to save so many innocent lives from hundreds of thousands of Evil Demons.”

”I merely contributed a little. How could I possibly accept your gift?”

Shen Mo used his magic to prevent him from returning the Elixirs and said with a smile, ”Please accept them. If you have any energy to spare, please look after the outsiders more and don’t let them be bullied too much.”

Then, Shen Mo took out several Universe Bags and handed them to the white-haired old man as well.

Inside were some resources for Body Tempering Realm disciples’ cultivation and combat, including Elixirs, talismans, and magic artifacts. These were prepared for Yan Zhuang, Zhou Ping’er, and other Outer Disciples of the Riverside Sect who were stranded in the city.

They had expressed their wish to leave with Shen Mo and return to Chong’a Mountain’s subsidiary courtyard. However, Shen Mo still needed to travel to the Dragon Fall Abyss, and he didn’t know what might happen during the journey. Therefore, he did not use Mi’s Golden Flowery Realm to take them with him.

However, Shen Mo had also promised that after returning from the Dragon Fall Abyss, he would pass by here to take them back to the sect’s subsidiary courtyard!

After leaving Zhong State, Shen Mo, accompanied by Flower Fairy Mi, continued to fly northward.

During the journey, apart from slaying some evil cultivators and demons from the Outer Zone, he encountered no other major obstacles. This was primarily due to Shen Mo’s extreme caution; he consciously detoured far around the forbidden lands of neutral forces and hordes of demons from the Outer Zone to avoid unnecessary trouble.

After all, following his actions at Golden Light Ridge, he suspected many powerful demons now harbored a grudge against him.

While traveling, Shen Mo also found time to refine a batch of Elixirs and talismans, and repair his damaged robe armor. Furthermore, he used the shell of Demon Lord Ming Cang and various spirit gold he had acquired to reforge the Green Cloud Umbrella!

This defensive magic artifact, aside from its handle, had been damaged and reforged multiple times since its creation, truly having a difficult existence.

However, this time, thanks to the excellent quality of the shattered Immortal Clam shell, the newly forged umbrella’s defensive power had greatly increased. Barring accidents, it should be able to withstand the fierce attacks of Golden Core Realm and middle-stage Class IV experts.

Moreover, after being destroyed and reforged multiple times, the Green Cloud Umbrella had spontaneously developed a nascent True Intention of the ”Cycle of Life and Death” during its refinement.

Similar to the great tree Mi could manifest using the Mother Tree’s green leaves, it could convert a portion of destructive power into defensive energy. However, the effect was not as potent; if an attack exceeded its tolerance, it would still be damaged.

But with this True Intention’s enhancement, its defensive capabilities improved significantly. It could be considered a blessing in disguise.

「Void Sky Mountain Range, Dragon Fall Abyss.」

Shen Mo, in his streak of escaping light, halted above the abyss, his gaze directed further north.

Senior Sister Chen’s temporary cave mansion is only a few thousand miles from here.

But right now, entering the Jade Pool Dungeon, gathering spiritual medicine to refine the Chaotic Yuan Pill, and completing the trade with Mi is more urgent...

Once I emerge from the Dragon Fall Abyss, I’ll go visit her!

With that thought, he equipped the ”Indestructible Body” and ”[Chanjue] Destiny,” two Special Destinies. He then raised the Soul Refining Flag, summoning the Ghost Bride and other Class IV Demon Soul Generals to surround him.

Still not feeling secure enough, he also raised the Green Cloud Umbrella and cast multiple layers of the Wall Palm seal upon himself!

Flower Fairy Mi, in his sleeve, also took out a green leaf from the Mother Tree within the Golden Flowery Realm, holding it above her small head with both hands.

If Shen Mo’s numerous defenses failed to withstand the killing intent within the Dragon Fall Abyss, she would act, manifesting the giant tree from before to shield them both from the peril!

”Moro Shen, Mi is ready.”

”Good!”

The next moment, a mist of cloud appeared around Shen Mo, quickly enveloped by a pale golden spirit light, and he plunged headlong into the Dragon Fall Abyss.

”WOOO!”

”CREAK!”

”RUSTLE!”

Upon entering the Dragon Fall Abyss, Shen Mo was immediately enveloped by a dense black miasma. Even with his five senses and spiritual sense, extending his hand, he could not see his own fingers. Chilling, sinister winds howled, causing the spirit light around him to flicker unceasingly, like a bonfire in a gale. All sorts of strange and bizarre sounds continuously assailed his ears: ghostly wails, the grinding of teeth, the rolling of stones, the rustling of robes...

Shen Mo paid them no heed, descending rapidly into the depths of the abyss.

Just then, his [Chanjue] Destiny began to send warnings. After a quick check, he directed the Green-skinned Ghost Demon Soul General beside him to block the direction from which the danger was appearing.

”BANG!”

The Green-skinned Ghost didn’t even utter a sound before its Soul Body was shattered.

What shattered it was a pristine white skull, seemingly hurled with great force, smashing towards him at the speed of Sword Light.

The white skull, upon smashing into the Green-skinned Ghost, also shattered into a pile of bone fragments. These fragments, like countless sharp arrows, rained down towards Shen Mo, only to be blocked one by one by the Green Cloud Umbrella amidst a cacophony of CLINK! CLANK!
