Chapter 222 - 103: The Distinction of Divine Spirits, South Sea Abyss

BANG!

He casually shut the door, but the long-haired man in sunglasses didn’t reply. With a roar of its engine, the car shot away.

"..."

Watching the car disappear, Chen Yu looked away, then used his key to open the door and enter the villa.

He contacted An Ran and the others and gave them a brief update before ending the call.

’The situation in the South Sea...’

Chen Yu sat on the sofa, browsing the news.

The most eye-catching reports were about the Flame Demon Spirit. News of him had shot straight to the top of the headlines.

However, that wasn’t what Chen Yu was focused on. The beasts in the South Sea had retreated, and the situation was now stable.

This was good news for everyone else, but not for him.

Upgrading his Skills and advancing his physical Evolution both required a massive amount of Source of Life. An ordinary beast tide was no longer enough for him to get stronger.

Then there was the Starry Sky Divine Hall assessment the True God had mentioned. Although he didn’t know the specifics of the trial, one thing was crystal clear.

The stronger he was, the better his chances in the assessment!

With less than half a year remaining, Chen Yu had no idea how much stronger he could get.

It would depend on his luck.

If he got lucky, he could kill enough beasts to obtain a massive amount of Source of Life. Then he could upgrade his Skills, and his power would grow even faster.

’My Skills are the core of my power.’

Getting more Source of Life was the priority.

’Looks like my only option is to check out those Anomaly Realms in the South Sea.’

Closing the news interface, Chen Yu quickly made a decision.

The beasts might have retreated from the South Sea, but the situation inside the Anomaly Realms was another story.

However, the new Anomaly Realms were still uncharted territory. The government hadn’t sent anyone in yet; the risks were considered too high.

They could only be entered after they had completely stabilized.

This "empty window" was the perfect time for him to go.

Unexplored Anomaly Realms were always teeming with beasts.

The Tangula Anomaly, for instance, had been just like that.

Of course, the danger was also immense.

But that wasn’t a problem for him.

With his current power, he could handle anything short of a Ninth-level opponent.

Even if he did run into a Ninth-level, he could still put up a fight by going all out.

’I wonder how much longer she’ll be asleep... This Evolution is taking a long time.’

Chen Yu snapped out of his thoughts and glanced at the metal bracelet on his wrist.

It had been almost a month since the Crane Ridge Anomaly, but Sophie still showed no signs of waking.

Her evolutionary slumber was lasting longer than Chen Yu had expected.

’I’ll just have to wait. I wonder what changes her Evolution will bring...’

With that thought, Chen Yu stood up.

He stepped out of the villa and looked into the distance. In a flash, his figure vanished like a bolt of lightning.

—

A moment later, Chen Yu’s figure appeared above the South Sea.

From high in the air, Chen Yu looked down at the sea. In the distance, the islands were shattered and broken.

The war against the beasts was brutal, causing innumerable casualties. This time, however, by dealing with the Flame Demon Spirit ahead of schedule, they had managed to avert an even greater disaster.

Otherwise, if the attacks had continued, the situation would have been far more severe.

Even with legions of civilian Martial Artists reinforcing the defense, the cost would have been staggering.

After scanning the sea, Chen Yu continued deeper into the South Sea.

After traveling another one or two thousand kilometers, Chen Yu reached the depths of the South Sea.

The pitch-black water looked like an abyss, ready to swallow everything.

On the surface of this dark sea, a lone island less than ten kilometers in size stood out conspicuously.

WHOOSH—!

In a flash, Chen Yu descended onto the small island.

The island wasn’t large, but it was rugged and precipitous.

Strange, grotesque rocks jutted out from the ground, with sparse weeds growing between them.

Upon landing, Chen Yu quickly made his way to the center of the island.

His Force Field scan revealed no life on the island—not even a bird.

In the center of the island was a lush, verdant valley.

Chen Yu appeared in the valley. His gaze fell upon the valley’s depths, where a thirty-meter-tall Space-Time Gate came into view.

It was a purple rift in space-time, emitting waves of dark, eerie light.

Inside was a swirl of Chaos, making it impossible to see through.

This Space-Time Gate was the entrance to the South Sea Ninth Abyss.

It was also his destination.

SWOOSH—!

In a flash, Chen Yu was directly in front of the Abyssal Entrance.

As he stared at the Abyss of Space-Time before him, a powerful gravitational pull swept over him.

Chen Yu didn’t resist the pull, allowing his body to be drawn inside.

A wave of vertigo washed over him—the classic dizziness from spatial travel.

The brief discomfort passed, and everything returned to normal.

Light returned to his vision. Chen Yu had entered the South Sea Ninth Abyss.

The sky was a brilliant blue, and in the distance, a boundless sea stretched out before him.

He looked up to see a purple, sun-like orb radiating light.

Its light was more intense than the sun’s, and Chen Yu could feel powerful radiation in the air.

The radiation here could easily kill a first-level Martial Artist.

However, with his powerful physique, even double the radiation would have no effect on him.

His physical Evolution had progressed to the point where he was completely transformed.

Each physical Evolution was a fundamental change to his very being!

Even a Ninth-level Martial Artist might not have a stronger body than his.

’So this is the South Sea Ninth Abyss...’

Chen Yu scanned his surroundings. He was on an island, with a boundless sea stretching into the distance.

This was the first time since he started entering Abyssal Realms that he had seen an Otherworld’s ocean.

It looked no different from the oceans on the Ancestor Star—completely normal.

His Force Field scan detected no beast fluctuations nearby.
