Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears - Chapter 387: A Million Times Gravity! The Prisoner Beneath the Abyss
In the Celestial Trace Abyss, three hundred thousand meters deep.
The words on the stone monument seemed to issue the most dire of warnings!
Moreover, several different languages had been deliberately carved onto it, as if to ensure no one would fail to understand.
BUZZ BUZZ. ’Good grief, going all out for a simple warning sign,’
Chu Sheng buzzed in astonishment.
He then flew slowly upward, deciding to check out the situation behind the monument first.
Soon, Chu Sheng surpassed the height of the monument and saw the scene ahead… The canyon no longer stretched on endlessly, a desperate, seemingly infinite expanse.
The end was in sight.
Roughly one or two thousand meters further, the canyon came to an end.
There, a massive stone wall, as tall as the cliffs on either side, soared into the clouds and pierced the sky, sealing off any path forward.
It was like a colossal dead end.
However, Chu Sheng’s vision was exceptional. Even through the air, which was as viscous as water, he keenly spotted something unusual.
At the base of the final stone wall, there seemed to be… a massive hole?
The hole was pitch-black, wreathed in a grayish-white mist that obscured whatever lay within.
But a single glance was enough to make one’s heart pound, as if it were a giant, man-eating maw.
’Go, or not go?’
Chu Sheng hesitated.
’This monument wasn’t erected here for decoration.’
’That “Enter with caution” was definitely not a joke.’
After some thought, Chu Sheng decided to play it safe.
’Even though I’ve evolved into a Reincarnation Saint Mosquito, my power has skyrocketed, and I have a heaven-defying life-saving skill like Time Reincarnation, it’s always better to be safe than sorry.’
BUZZ!
With a soft sound, lightning flashed around Chu Sheng’s body.
A clone, identical to his main body but wreathed in faint arcs of electricity, materialized out of thin air.
Celestial Thunder Illusion!
This clone possessed fifty percent of his main body’s base strength, making it perfect for scouting.
“Go, Pikachu!”
Chu Sheng’s main body retreated behind the monument, found a comfortable crevice to hide in, and then directed his clone to swagger boldly past the stone marker.
However, the very instant the clone crossed the invisible line marked by the monument…
BOOM!
There was no actual sound, but it was as if a deafening roar had exploded in Chu Sheng’s consciousness.
It was an illusion caused by the abrupt change in the Law of Gravity.
Before the monument, the gravity was already about three hundred thousand times that of the outside world.
But after crossing it, the gravity no longer increased linearly. Instead, it began to skyrocket exponentially in a truly insane fashion!
With every meter it flew forward, the feeling of weight intensified slightly.
One hundred meters… two hundred meters… one thousand meters!
By the time Chu Sheng’s clone reached the abyss below the final stone wall, the Law of Gravity had reached its peak!
At this moment, the gravity his body was enduring was equivalent to carrying a full 20 kilograms.
To Chu Sheng, 20 kilograms was still almost negligible.
But… if an ordinary mosquito were to carry 20 kilograms, it would be utterly preposterous. It would have been crushed to death long ago.
Chu Sheng quickly did the math in his head.
’According to this ratio…’
’The gravity multiplier here has reached a terrifying one million times!’
One million times gravity!
Chu Sheng couldn’t help but gasp.
’What the hell does that even mean?’
If an adult weighing 100 kilograms stood here, the weight they would have to bear would reach 100 million kilograms!
That is… one hundred thousand tons!
One hundred thousand tons!
That’s equivalent to having a large aircraft carrier pressing down on a single person’s shoulders!
And it was constant, every single moment!
Even for someone at the Peak of King Realm, this was nearly the absolute limit they could endure, even by summoning all their Qi Blood!
’That woman, Gu Yuexi…’
The image of her slender figure flashed through Chu Sheng’s mind.
’Could she withstand it?’
(PS: For the sake of intuitive understanding, I’m using the weight of carried objects to describe this instead of units of force. Also, it’s a high-fantasy martial world, so don’t get too hung up on the details, haha.)
…
Clearly, Gu Yuexi hadn’t made it this far yet.
Standing before the deep pit, Chu Sheng was already itching to take action.
’It’s just a clone anyway, might as well go down and take a look?’
Before the deep pit, beneath the final stone wall.
The environment here was utterly extreme.
Due to the extreme compression, the air had taken on a semi-liquid state, flowing slowly like viscous glue.
The faint “mist” was a manifestation of this semi-liquefaction.
Under the pressure of one-million-times gravity over hundreds of millions of years, the surrounding ground and stone walls had become astonishingly dense, their hardness surpassing most alloys.
Even light itself was distorted into bizarre arcs upon entering this area.
The flow of time itself seemed to have slowed.
How terrifying!
This kind of setup was definitely a Law-based restriction established by an Emperor Realm expert!
So, the question was…
Why go to such great lengths to create such a terrifying gravitational field?
Chu Sheng directed his clone to cautiously peek its head over the edge and look into the deep pit.
The pit was shrouded in a dense mist, making it impossible to see the bottom.
’Well, I’m already here. Time to dive in.’
The Celestial Thunder Clone flapped its wings, transforming into a streak of lightning and plunging directly into the deep pit.
The pit was deeper than he had imagined.
It seemed to lead straight to hell.
After descending about two hundred meters, the mist thinned slightly.
Chu Sheng could finally make out something.
It was chains.
Four astonishingly thick, jet-black iron chains were deeply embedded into the incredibly hard walls of the pit, hanging down into the deeper darkness below.
The surfaces of these chains were mottled with rust, looking dilapidated and as if they could snap at any moment.
But Chu Sheng keenly sensed an extremely ancient and malevolent aura emanating from them.
Three hundred meters… four hundred meters…
Finally, he could see the bottom of the pit.
The pit was about five hundred meters deep. The light was incredibly dim, but with Chu Sheng’s vision, he could just barely make things out.
His gaze swept slowly across the area, and suddenly, his pupils constricted violently.
The bottom of the pit wasn’t large, only a few hundred square meters.
And in the very center lay a creature.
Or rather, a Fierce Beast.
It wasn’t enormous, about the size of a large elephant.
Its body was hairless, its skin a deathly, decaying gray, and it was covered in layers of fine, fish-like scales.
A row of sharp bone spikes ran down its spine, extending all the way to its tail.
It had four thick legs and was currently lying motionless on the ground, as if it had been dead for a long time.
And the four jet-black iron chains hanging from above were locked onto its four limbs!
The chains were dug so deep into its flesh that they seemed to have fused with its very bones and sinew.
“What kind of Demon Beast is this?”
Chu Sheng searched his entire mental database but found nothing that matched this thing.
Its appearance was too bizarre; it didn’t resemble any known Demon Beast on Blue Star.
The aura it exuded, though faint, carried a nauseatingly evil strangeness.
’That feeling…’
’It’s as if it doesn’t belong to this world at all!’
’This aura… an Alien Race?’
’Is it a Demon Beast of the Alien Race, or should I call it… an Outer Realm Fierce Beast?!’
’So, this canyon stretching for hundreds of thousands of meters, this deep pit, this one-million-times Law of Gravity…’
’…was it all to suppress this one Outer Realm Fierce Beast?’
’This Secret Realm… is actually a cage?’
…
