Chapter 624: Chapter 383: An Idea Taking Root

’They shouldn’t run into any problems grinding the Abyss.’

’If there were going to be a problem, I’d be able to see it within the next thirty days...’

At that moment, Xiumi and the others arrived at the designated hunting ground.

This area was guarded by two Level 6 Mages.

Empty Valley could be considered a relatively large continent.

And because of the Abyss’s presence, there were more powerful individuals here...

Miselux was an ordinary large continent, whereas Empty Valley could be considered a strategic location.

If a chaotic invasion of the Abyss into the present world were to erupt,

this place would likely be the primary battleground.

However, how the Abyss Creatures of the Fallen Abyss could ascend to reach the present world... that was a problem in itself.

The Law that only permitted downward movement ensured that the Fallen Abyss would never intersect with the present world.

The only point of intersection was to actively open a rift to the Abyss.

Lu Cang’s Perception stretched out toward them.

He saw a crescent-shaped, purple-black stone appear in Xiumi’s hand.

She gently raised the stone.

A purple-black light instantly bloomed!

CRACKLE—

An enormous rift split open in the air!

It was huge, and from within it, like a torrential downpour, poured monsters wreathed in murky black fog, their faces twisted and terrifying!

Abyss Creatures.

These were the legendary Abyss Creatures.

It was said that Abyss Creatures had unique properties. Their corpses could be used to craft Abyssal Equipment, which possessed traits like Curse, Contamination, Corrosion, Will Erosion, and Defilement.

It could imbue both Magic and Combat Skills with contamination and Curses.

This was an extremely effective form of attack against the vast majority of Demons found in Nests.

The Abyss Creatures fell from the rift. Since they were falling from above to below, opening the rift was likely equivalent to slicing an opening into a cross-section of the Abyss.

But just as these Abyss Creatures landed, a Light Arrow trailing a long tail had already slammed into the ground!

BOOM!

A searing, spherical shockwave blasted outward in all directions!

Heaven-Falling Arrow·Star Fall.

Heaven-Falling Arrow was a type of Special Arrow.

As the slender Arrow gained speed, it was imbued with immense weight. The instant it struck, its velocity would drop to zero, unleashing an extremely powerful shockwave.

This Arrow was forged by Lu Cang.

He had used a Tier Two material, Meteorite Iron. It was an experimental product from his Blacksmith Forging process.

Its Enchantment Effect was a Flame Burst Enchantment, which added a Fire Attribute explosive blast to the shockwave!

"Starfall Shot" was Lu Luwei’s Bow Skill.

It allowed an arrow to crash down like a meteor, an Enhancement of both speed and impact force.

The impact directly obliterated every single Abyss Creature present!

Xiumi’s Adventurer’s Guild was also within the blast radius, but they had prepared in advance and weren’t significantly affected.

"So... so strong."

In the party, a red-haired woman with wolf ears on her head and a Great Sword on her back stared with wide eyes.

As a fellow Level 5 Warrior,

she considered herself one of the best in Miselux. Even if she wasn’t as strong as Xiumi, she estimated that among the Warriors in Miselux of the same Level, no more than three could defeat her.

But...

Lu Luwei’s shot was on a completely different level. In terms of attack power, she was probably already outmatched.

Seeing the shocked look on her companion’s face, Xiumi said with a hint of pride, "She’s someone who can get a 5,000-win streak in the Battle Arena, meow."

"Still, she’s a notch below me, meow."

As the aftershocks dissipated, even more Abyss Creatures were seen falling from the rift!

Before the rift closed,

these monsters would continue to pour out endlessly.

Within the Fallen Abyss, all movement was downward, but one could still adjust their direction somewhat. For example, trying to move up and to the left would result in moving down and to the left.

Though ascending was impossible, adjusting one’s direction on a horizontal plane was still feasible.

And so, when these creatures in the Fallen Abyss saw the light appear, they probably thought they had found a hope of escape...

...and leaped like fish toward this "exit."

...

The Heaven-Falling Arrows were limited in number, after all, and Lu Luwei didn’t intend to use one of the precious arrows for every shot.

"ROAR!"

All over the ground, the Abyss Creatures stood up after landing.

They let out a deafening roar!

But in the next instant,

THUD~

Heads began to roll. Their necks were cleanly severed as an invisible figure weaved through the horde, lopping off head after head while remaining completely unseen by the monsters.

It was Leng Qingying in action.

Her every move was also a test of Lu Cang’s teachings.

Her posture was more precise, her exertion of force more accurate, and her clumsy, wasted movements grew fewer and fewer.

Although her understanding of combat wasn’t as profound as Lu Cang’s,

for her current realm, she was already miles ahead of others at the same level...

Seeing Leng Qingying produce such results, Lu Cang felt quite gratified.

After Leng Qingying made her move, a baptism of arrows followed.

The Mages also began Chanting their Spells.

O, storm of the cerulean sky, O, scorching flame of the blistering heavens, divine and dreadful blaze, bring fiery calamity to this world.

Celestial Fire Tornado (Tier Five) (Level: 4).

WHOOSH!

A flaming tornado rose into the sky! Billowing waves of heat swept across the entire field!

Compared to Xiumi, Lu Luwei, and Leng Qingying,

this Mage’s performance was somewhat underwhelming.

’He’s actually still reciting a Spell.’

’The Mages I’ve encountered so far almost all have No Chanting Magic as a standard. I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve met a Mage who needs to perform a long Chant.’

’But I can’t rule out the possibility that he’s just practicing a Low Level Magic.’

’After all, this isn’t a life-or-death battle. There’s no need to use No Chanting Magic all the time.’

BOOM!

The Warriors shattered the ground as they charged in to join the slaughter!

Defenders flanked the Warriors, one on the left and one on the right, allowing the Warriors to ignore their own defense and focus solely on dealing maximum damage!

The seven of them were in a region with a radius of several thousand kilometers, surrounding and killing the Abyss Creatures that fell from the sky.

’It’s been a while since I’ve watched other people fight.’

’A battle of this level...’

’...is nothing more than child’s play to the current me.’

’Back then, I thought seeing someone sever the legs of a skyscraper-sized elephant with a single sword strike was unbelievably exaggerated. Now, seeing this level of battle, capable of shattering mountains and splitting the earth, I just find it unremarkable.’

...

’I should just focus on forging more equipment and getting the Enchantments done.’

It was mid-May, and only fifteen days had passed since he was promoted to a Level 2 Blacksmith and Enchanter.

’I just killed that Level 8 Scholar, and I haven’t even used the Enchantment Stone I got from him yet.’

’This is a good chance to forge a new set of equipment and socket the Relic he dropped.’

’Maybe I should hunt more High Level Reincarnators?’

’After all, killing them gives me Undead and they also drop Enchantment Stones.’

’If I could turn Izparut into an Undead, I wonder how strong it would be...’

The thought surfaced in Lu Cang’s mind unbidden, but he quickly shook his head.

’That idea is just too evil.’

’But if I could really obtain Izparut’s Undead, or get the Enchantment Stone that Izparut would become...’

These thoughts were persistent.

Like a seed that had already sprouted, they began to take root in Lu Cang’s mind.

’It’s just a thought, a fleeting idea. No need to blow it out of proportion and make a big deal out of it.’

’But if I’m just hunting Level 7 Reincarnators, that should be fine, right?’

’There are always some evil Level 7 folks out there. Killing them would be like ridding the world of a pest.’

In the Furnace Workshop, Lu Cang hammered at an alloy, the thoughts in his mind lingering for a long, long time.
