Chapter 223 - 103: The Distinction of Divine Spirits, South Sea Abyss

He gazed at the island. It was enormous—so vast that even his Force Field perception couldn’t grasp its full extent.

Skyscraping trees grew everywhere, and the island’s vegetation was exceptionally lush.

Trees several hundred meters tall were too numerous to count, giving it the appearance of an untouched primeval forest.

’I should check out this island first.’

After a moment of deliberation, Chen Yu decided to explore the unknown island.

Spanning several thousand kilometers, it was more of a continent than an island.

The situation was a complete unknown, with no data to reference. He would have to rely on his own abilities to explore.

However, with his Force Field perception, exploring even an island this massive wasn’t a difficult task for Chen Yu.

Activating his Divine Speed Power, he vanished in a flash of lightning.

...

On the island, Chen Yu strolled through the primeval jungle.

Before long, he passed through a forest and arrived at a canyon.

The canyon stretched for dozens of miles and was several miles wide. Seen from above, it looked as if an immortal had cleaved the earth with a single sword strike.

Upon entering the canyon, he found it was very quiet. Only a gentle breeze stirred. But beneath the tranquility, a great danger lurked.

WHOOSH—!

The sound of something slicing through the air suddenly rang out as a black shadow shot toward Chen Yu with lightning speed.

Its sharp claws swung toward him like the scythe of the Death God.

But Chen Yu wasn’t flustered in the slightest. The instant the shadow struck, he leaned slightly to one side and shot out a kick.

BANG!

The shadowy monster slammed hard against the rock face, shattering the stone. The human-sized creature was left as if embedded in the cliff wall.

Chen Yu’s gaze fell upon the shadowy monster. It had a body covered in brown fur and extremely sharp claws, and it looked something like a sloth.

However, this monster was at least a hundred times faster than any sloth.

And its appearance was even more grotesque than a sloth’s.

Its aura wasn’t weak; it was a Level 3 Mutant Beast.

"This little thing is seriously ugly!"

Chen Yu clicked his tongue, unable to resist making a comment.

ROAR!!

As if it had understood Chen Yu’s jab, the beast instantly let out a furious roar, its eyes turning scarlet.

"Oh? So you’re ugly and can’t even admit it?"

ROAR!

A roar filled with murderous intent echoed as the mutant beast burst from the rock wall. Waving its scythe-like claws, which now emitted a faint glow, it charged directly at Chen Yu.

BANG!

But in the next second, the mutant beast was once again slammed into the cliff wall.

SQUELCH!

He wrapped a sharp, fist-sized stone with his Force Field. Under his control, the stone shot forward at an astonishing speed, piercing straight through the mutant beast’s head. Blood sprayed out as it was killed instantly.

Having dealt with the mutant beast, Chen Yu continued deeper into the canyon.

WHOOSH!

WHOOSH!

WHOOSH!

He had gone less than five hundred meters when the sound of whooshing air came from all directions. One after another, more of the sloth-like mutant beasts charged toward Chen Yu.

There were dozens of them, and almost all were Level 3!

Watching the swarm of Level 3 Mutant Beasts rush toward him, Chen Yu calmly raised a hand.

SPLAT—!

With a gesture of his Force Field, a terrifying pressure swept over every mutant beast. Their bodies were instantly crushed, erupting into a bloody mist.

The metallic scent of blood filled the canyon.

The dozens of mutant beasts were all killed before they could even get close.

Chen Yu glanced around, then continued on his way.

After passing through the long, narrow canyon, he saw another stretch of dense, primeval jungle in the distance.

The tree canopy blotted out the sky, a testament to its savage, unchecked growth.

It seemed there were no traces of civilization here.

BOOM!!

Just then, a tremendous explosion erupted from deep within the jungle. A terrifying shockwave spread out, obliterating countless trees and sending a thick plume of smoke and dust into the sky.

"Hm?"

’Something’s happening!’ Chen Yu’s eyes narrowed as he watched the dust plume rise from the jungle depths. He silently activated his Force Field perception.

An image quickly formed in his mind.

In a huge valley within the primeval forest, two enormous mutant beasts had appeared.

They were a hundred meters tall and entirely black, resembling massive lizards.

’This is... a Dark Giant Lizard!’

Seeing the image in his mind, Chen Yu’s heart skipped a beat.

The Dark Giant Lizard was a special type of mutant beast, incredibly formidable in both strength and speed.

It possessed special abilities, including the power to instantly release a dark mist that could inflict psychic damage.

Furthermore, it could spit a highly corrosive liquid capable of dissolving refined steel in an instant.

But its greatest strength was its defense.

It had an Energy Shield that could withstand incredibly powerful attacks.

They were extremely difficult to deal with.

’Two Level 8s!’

By judging their Life Fluctuations through his Force Field perception, Chen Yu quickly determined the strength of the two Dark Giant Lizards.

’Two Level 8 Mutant Beasts at once? Is this Abyss really that terrifying?!’

A chill went down Chen Yu’s spine.

Although these two Dark Giant Lizards couldn’t compare to a unique creature like the Flame Demon Spirit, they were still incredibly powerful.

In addition to the two Dark Giant Lizards, he also saw a human figure.

"Hm?"

’This person... I feel like I’ve seen her somewhere before.’

Focusing on the human figure, Chen Yu narrowed his eyes.

’Liu Mei!’

A name surfaced in his mind, and Chen Yu instantly remembered who she was.

A Level 5 member of the Alliance.

They had worked together before when they fought the Flame Demon Spirit.

’She’s here too...’

’Watching the battle unfold in his mind, he noted her strength. Taking on two Level 8 Dark Giant Lizards by herself... her power was not to be underestimated!’

Chen Yu continued to watch the battle unfold.

The two Level 8 Dark Giant Lizards were working together seamlessly, and for the moment, Liu Mei was on the defensive.

However, with her powerful Superpower, she wouldn’t be in any real danger for a while.
