After passing the Blackwater Swamp, the Meteorite Abyss was already getting closer.
Yi Yun could feel the pure Yang Qi in the air getting richer. He found a safe spot and meditated there for hours, adjusting himself to an optimal state.
The next day was when the real battle began.
The night was calm. No desolate beasts, that did not fear the king-ranked desolate beast feces like the Thousand Feet Black Silkworm, appeared.
The next morning when the Sun rose, Yi Yun stood at the top of a cliff and looked far ahead. Ahead of him was an endless barren Desolate Lands. The ground was filled with reddish rock fragments and fine gravel.
Along the edge of the Desolate Lands, where the horizon was, there was a deep canyon that seemed to cut up a mountain ridge. The jagged cliffs were staggered as if something had cut through the earth.
If one were to look down from an airship, one would think that the deep abyss was a huge scar dug up by a god with his divine sword.
In the middle of the Meteorite Abyss, there was a faint Yang fire shining. The heat turned everything in a few kilometers radius red, evaporating even the clouds in the sky!
The closer it was to the Meteorite Abyss, the drier the land became. There were no clouds, let alone rain.
Beneath the abyss’ surface, there was smoky haze that enshrouded layers of flames, obscuring everything that happened within.
Here, the air was clearly hotter.
In the swirling heat, light became distorted like water ripples.
He had finally arrived!
With his destination ahead of him, Yi Yun felt excitement deep down. He picked up his pace.
Stepping on the scorching sand, Yi Yun had arrived at the edge of the Meteorite Abyss swiftly like the wind. Hot winds blew up from the deep abyss. Breathing in the air made his nostrils feel strangely hot.
Standing on the cliff and looking down, all he saw was a vast expanse of huge craters. Underneath these craters, there were hidden continuous canyons and deep cracks.
All of these had been hiding within the large amount of red smoke, making it hard to see.
But in this smoke, there were strange but unknown giant trees that grew from hundreds of meters down in the abyss up into the sky. They were extremely spectacular!
A place that never rained all year round actually had such odd trees growing here!
“It’s really a wondrous place…”
Yi Yun was filled with emotions. He found it hard to imagine what sort of meteorite would create such a sight after landing on land.
“Oh?”
Yi Yun heard the faint growls of beasts in the midst of the hot blowing wind. With a thought, he opened up his Purple Crystal’s energy vision.
In the vast and boundless surface of the abyss, Yi Yun could slowly sense a lot of energy light dots and traces of life using the Purple Crystal’s energy vision.
He could not help but feel his heart warm up.
The exterior perimeter of the Meteorite Abyss was detailed in the introductory materials of the Tai Ah Divine City.
However, deep in the Meteorite Abyss, there was a “Fallen Star Gate”. There was very little information describing it in the Divine City. There was so little information that there was only a one sentence description:
“Inside the Fallen Star Gate, the Yang flames have been burning inextinguishably for tens of millions of years. The environment within it is ever-changing and it is extremely dangerous. Do not enter!”
Although Yi Yun was very interested in knowing what it was like inside the Fallen Star Gate, he knew himself. It was unlikely he could survive in such a place with his mere Purple Blood cultivation level. It was best if he avoided the place.
After all, the more dangerous the environment, the thicker the pure Yang energy was, which gave rise to even stronger desolate beasts.
Even if he did not enter the Fallen Star Gate, the perimeter of the Meteorite Abyss was already fraught with danger.
In the Tai Ah Divine City’s tens of millions of years of history, an unknown number of cultivators had died in the Meteorite Abyss, becoming food for powerful desolate beasts.
With these past examples, Yi Yun was extremely careful.
After he calmed his mind, the light in Yi Yun’s eyes turned brighter. With a deep breath, he chose a direction and jumped towards the dark red abyss like a huge bird.
The perimeter of the Meteorite Abyss was a few hundred meters tall. While landing, Yi Yun clung on to a cliff and used the Thousand Army Saber to cleave into the side of the cliff, sending rocks flying, to slow down his descent.
