Abyss Sequence

Chapter 507 82: Destruction

The vortex had flattened the towering undersea peaks and plateaus, even tearing open the seabed, yet the abyss had still not been destroyed.

Yan Luo didn't feel his thinking was wrong. If he had been mistaken, then when he destroyed the newly descended abyss in Kode City, the demons would not have come to attack him.

Even the Master of the Abyss and other demons attempted to attack him, certainly because his destruction of the abyss had provoked a reaction from it.

But the reason this didn't happen in the undersea abyss was entirely due to the power of the vortex; any demons caught in the whirlpool were certain to die, and even a Catastrophe Level demon would be left with little breath when caught near Yan Luo.

In such a situation, the demons could no longer launch an attack on Yan Luo.

Could it be that merely destroying the ocean was not enough?

Yan Luo looked up, as if his gaze could penetrate several kilometers of seawater to see the sky above the ocean surface.

The sky was also part of the abyss, even if it occupied far less space than the ocean.

Since that was the case...

Yan Luo bit down on the Master of the Abyss, tearing a piece of flesh from it, chewing a few times before swallowing it down his throat.

His digestive system worked rapidly to digest the flesh, providing Yan Luo with more strength.

Yan Luo temporarily gained more power from the magnetic field, allowing him to maintain the current state of the vortex while still causing the seawater to rise and strike the sky.

The island above the sea had already been destroyed, with the currents flowing along the island's edge slowly tearing it apart until it completely vanished.

Flying demons soaring through the sky lost all perches, forced to fly continuously without rest.

Winds surged over the vortex, allowing them to glide in the sky using the wind's power, but no matter the means, it was not a solution.

Demons also have muscles, and they can cramp.

During Yan Luo's ten days in the undersea abyss, flying demons gradually fell from the sky, plunging into the sea, instantly drowning.

Now, very few flying demons remained in the sky, flying at a low altitude. As soon as Yan Luo called up the seawater, the rising tide knocked down most of the flying demons.

The massive vortex swallowed those demons that fell into the sea, leaving the rest scrambling in panic, struggling to flap their wings and ascend.

Wind element creatures were able to keep flying in the sky, but they were few in the abyss. As long as Yan Luo could sweep away the other flying demons, it didn't matter about those wind element demons.

The demons, flapping their wings to ascend, soon met with disaster because they had been flying for a prolonged time and now suddenly exerting themselves caused inevitable wing cramps.

Except for a few air and wind-controlling demons that didn't fall into the sea, the vast majority of flying demons were engulfed by the enormous vortex.

The entire ocean resembled a constantly running spin dryer, although the force of this dryer was so immense that even steel could be erased.

"...It's coming!"

For some reason, Yan Luo suddenly had a feeling.

That feeling told him this abyss had reached the brink of collapse; if he continued agitating the seawater and maintained the vortex's existence, the abyss would be destroyed.

This wasn't difficult for Yan Luo. He exerted all his strength, frantically churning the entire ocean, causing an enormous body of water with a diameter of 18,862 kilometers, at least 10,000 meters deep, to swirl continuously around him.

The seabed was uplifted, countless silt churned into the whirlpool, and the seabed was gradually thinning.

No matter how vast the abyss, it was merely a slice of a world being destroyed. The sky had height, the sea had depth, and likewise, the earth also had thickness.

No one knew what lay beneath the seabed of the undersea abyss. Similarly, no one knew what was beneath the Crimson Abyss.

Nobody would explore these things, not even experts in abyss studies would think about such matters.

Because the abyss had 'boundaries.'

Many abyss edges were arc-shaped. If one were to draw those arcs into patterns, it would reveal a circular shape.

Therefore, many believed the abyss was spherical.

Yan Luo proved this through action, at least the undersea abyss was certainly a sphere!

Beneath the uplifted seabed, the spatial boundary was exposed.

The bottom edge of the undersea abyss also showed an arc shape, even a convex surface.

"So that's how the abyss looks..." Yan Luo chuckled softly.

The power of the vortex continuously impacted the spatial boundary. Under relentless collisions, the spherical spatial membrane covering the entire abyss was on the verge of collapse.

Yan Luo silently maintained the vortex's operation, and this maintenance lasted for three days and nights!

Finally, the spatial membrane of the undersea abyss fractured.

Then, the seawater roared uncontrollably towards the fissure, the heavy water mass smashing it apart, flowing into the outside world.

Suddenly, it was as if a black hole appeared in the abyss, drawing everything in one direction. Even Yan Luo couldn't control himself, let alone the vortex.

Seeing how dire the situation was, Yan Luo quickly retreated, passing through the frosted glass-like abyss entrance and returning to Blue Star.

Sopping wet, Yan Luo leaped out of the abyss entrance, immediately capturing the attention of all those focused on the abyss entrance.

"It's Yan Luo, he's out!"

"Yan Luo, how's the situation in the abyss? Did you destroy it?"

"How is it? How's the situation?"

People bombarded Yan Luo with questions.

Yet Yan Luo turned a deaf ear, looking upward at the abyss entrance ahead.

Gradually, people's voices lowered.

Anyone who wasn't foolish could sense that Yan Luo's mood was off, as if he was in deep thought.

What was Yan Luo thinking? What had he done inside the abyss?

People were itching to know what had occurred prior.

"...Hoo!"

After an unknown amount of time, Yan Luo exhaled a murky breath, turning to look at the hunters gathered near the checkpoint.

He contemplated for a moment before recounting what he had witnessed, using his terminal to connect to a projector to show the footage he captured at the end to the hunters present.

Yan Luo couldn't see the crack in the spatial membrane, but from the seawater surging past him, he knew something wasn't right.

After watching the video, people exchanged glances.

Had the abyss been destroyed?

Nobody knew if the undersea abyss had been destroyed, not even Yan Luo was clear.

He only felt that the abyss might have been destroyed; the specifics depended on feedback from the abyss entrance.

If the abyss had been destroyed, then the abyss entrance would also disappear; it was just unknown how long the changes within the undersea abyss would last.

Yan Luo did not leave the No. 2 Undersea Exploration Town. He found a place to stay and observed any developments with the abyss entrance.

Soon, four days passed.

If killing the Master of the Abyss caused the abyss to collapse, then at this point, the abyss would have nearly completely collapsed, with the abyss entrance disappearing.

However, the abyss entrance on the No. 2 undersea side remained firmly intact, showing no signs of disappearing.

Both Yan Luo and others felt perplexed by this.

From the video captured by Yan Luo's personal terminal, the undersea abyss should have been destroyed, so why hadn't the abyss entrance disappeared?

With such doubts, Yan Luo decided—to go back in and take another look!

After all, Yan Luo held a jade object that could open a spatial passage. If faced with insurmountable danger, Yan Luo could use the jade to open a spatial passage, then jump to another world and find a way back to Blue Star later.

Many tried to persuade him not to do such foolish things since several hunters in No. 2 Undersea valued money over life and were willing to risk a trip to the undersea abyss to investigate.

But Yan Luo strongly opposed this, as his ability to protect himself was strong. If something unpredictable happened in the undersea abyss, he could at least save his life, whereas other hunters meeting such circumstances would equate to announcing their death.

Nobody could dissuade Yan Luo, so he set out.

With the jade in hand, Yan Luo took a deep breath, resolutely stepping through the abyss entrance.

Then, he found himself at another checkpoint.

"...Hmm?"

Looking at the underwater city before him, Yan Luo was filled with questions.
