Chapter 609: Chapter 607: Kun (Extra update, please subscribe)_1

Whoosh!

Amidst the void, a pitch-dark river materialized, shrouding an area of a hundred miles.

From the Mysterious Dark Abyss, water dragons began to take shape, drawing countless volumes of Mysterious Dark Heavy Water into midair, pouring into the Nine Nether Underworld River, creating numerous spectacles of ’Dragon Absorbing Water’!

Boom, boom!

Mixed within the Mysterious Dark Heavy Water were numerous Black Water Mysterious Snakes, Black Thorn Fish, black pearl oysters, Large Salamanders... as well as a vast quantity of Mysterious Dark Crystals!

"Refine!"

Fang Xi brandished the Mysterious Dark Banner, from which surged the Power of Transcendent God at a Mahayana Level.

The Nine Netherworld Underworld River Mysterious Sand Great Array immediately underwent another transformation, as the countless Mysterious Dark Crystals automatically turned into Mysterious Dark Crystal Sand, Mysterious Dark Divine Sand... merging into the sandy flows of the Nine Nether Underworld River.

Meanwhile, those Black Water Mysterious Snakes and Large Salamanders suddenly found themselves devoid of all water flow, pulled up by a mysterious force.

Where they passed, not a blade of grass would grow.

Presently, Fang Xi only had eyes for Large Salamanders of five hundred years, releasing the rest with a mere gesture of his hand back into the Mysterious Dark Abyss...

After three days and nights of sacrificial refining, the Mysterious Dark Banner increased in power.

With a sweep of his Divine Consciousness, he detected several Spirit Boats approaching, and at once withdrew the Great Array, vanishing as a streak of light.

A thousand miles away, Fang Xi found a flat rock, lazily lying on it, he began to fish with a rod...

No matter what he would catch, it was the pursuit of a hobby that mattered!

As long as he persisted, one day he would reel in a big catch!

...

"What on earth..."

Fang Xi reeled in the line and stared at the clump of black seaweed hanging from it, speechless for a moment.

This time his luck was lacking, after several baitings, he didn’t even get a few Black Thorn Fish, let alone a Large Salamander.

Fang Xi forcibly suppressed the urge to curse, his lips twitching slightly.

He put away his fishing rod and looked in the direction of the Misty Sea, contemplative.

He might have been discovered by the ’True Armored Whale’ due to a momentary lapse in vigilance, but this time he was prepared; he covered his face with the Exotic Treasure cloth, so there should be no problem.

Even if discovered, the worst he would face was a humiliating flight from the Mysterious Dark Abyss.

If he delved deeper, he might just catch a big one!

"I’ll just skim around the edge of the Misty Sea..."

With that thought in mind, Fang Xi released the Spirit Boat, exploring deeper into the Mysterious Dark Abyss.

For the past decades, he combined the sea charts from Wang Qiao’s memories and had a good understanding of the Mysterious Dark Abyss, so he had some confidence in this endeavor.

Whoosh!

A wave crashed fiercely upon the Spirit Boat.

Fang Xi’s expression turned grave as he constantly extended his Divine Consciousness, alert to his surroundings.

’Inside the Mysterious Dark Abyss, the ’Unfixed Wind’ appears from time to time, preventing cultivators from flying away... Even a Nascent Soul cultivator needs to find a place to meditate and recover their magic power after flying tens of thousands of miles in one breath; most of the time, it’s more economical to choose a Spirit Boat...’

Two million miles deeper past the Ghost Gate Reef lies the Misty Sea.

The Misty Sea, already part of the deep Mysterious Dark Abyss, multiplies dangers manyfold.

Yet there are fearless cultivators who come here to fish.

Often, after several catches in this area, the gains are incredibly abundant, sometimes even enough to trade for Core Formation or even Infant Condensing spiritual objects!

Fang Xi anchored at the edge of the Misty Sea and cast a fishing line.

Before long, the fishing line trembled violently, and he gently lifted it.

Snap!

A Large Salamander with four limbs and three claws was pulled from the Mysterious Dark Heavy Water and slammed heavily onto the deck, turning into an ice sculpture.

"Four hundred years of cultivation, yet it hasn’t developed an Inner Core, what a pity..."

Fang Xi smacked his lips and directly grilled the Large Salamander, preparing to indulge in an extra meal.

Given the vastness of the Mysterious Dark Abyss, those cultivators who relied on this abyss for their livelihood came and went like sprinklings of pepper; unless by some lucky chance, it was quite rare to run into one another.

Fang Xi roamed near the Misty Sea for three months, taking the opportunity to sacrificially refine the ’Nine Netherworld Underworld River Mysterious Sand Great Array’ and caught quite a lot of good stuff.

And he was very cautious in his actions, not encountering the ’True Armored Whale’.

On this day.

The originally cloudless sky turned to rolling dark clouds in an instant, as though a downpour was imminent.

Fang Xi yawned and reeled in his fishing rod.

Having fished in the outside world for so long, he was ready to return to the Kong Sang Market for a good rest.

At that moment, his expression changed suddenly.

Drip, drop! Drip, drop!

The gentle rainfall was not ordinary water, but droplets of Mysterious Dark Heavy Water!

As far as the eye could see, it was like countless amounts of oil falling from the sky, turning into a downpour!

"One of the three great dangers of the Mysterious Dark Abyss, the ’Mysterious Dark Rain’?"

Upon seeing this, Fang Xi muttered to himself.

There are four dangerous places in the Mysterious Dark Abyss, and as long as one avoids them, it’s not too problematic.

But the three great dangers could strike at any time, impossible to evade.

The ’Unfixed Wind’ is one thing, but the ’Mysterious Dark Rain’ is even more terrifying. It’s bearable if it lasts only for a short while, but if it continues for several days and nights, let alone other consequences, even Core Formation cultivators might not be able to keep their magic treasures and magic power going. In the end, the best-case scenario would be being poisoned by the water.

The specially made Spirit Boat could indeed resist the "Mysterious Dark Heavy Water" to some extent, but it had its limits, and lower-ranking cultivators often couldn’t afford too good a Spirit Boat.

If they encountered this "Mysterious Dark Rain," they could only pray that it didn’t last too long, otherwise they might simply perish.

Of course, Fang Xi didn’t mind it at all.

He unfolded the "Mysterious Dark Banner," turning it into a pitch-black ring of light that absorbed all the rainwater near the Spirit Boat. Instead, it began to refine the power of the "Mysterious Dark Banner."

"Brewing tea in the rain should also be one of life’s great pleasures."

Seizing the rare sight of this black rain, Fang Xi immediately took out his tea set, ready to leisurely enjoy the rain.

Cultivation was mainly for the purpose of being carefree, after all, doing whatever one wanted.

He brewed himself a cup of Spiritual Tea and slowly savored it, when suddenly he saw a five-hundred-year-old Dragon Newt with long horns emerge from the deep sea, seemingly overjoyed and wanting to meet the rain.

With a thought, Fang Xi caused the Great Array to tremble slightly, but he didn’t continue to act, "Forget it... Today I am enjoying tea, it’s not suitable to stir up killing intent, I’ll spare your life..."

Just then, his expression subtly changed, and his Divine Consciousness swept out.

Within the nearby sea area, the ocean was surging wildly; on top of the waves were not spray, but the spines of various sea creatures heavily packed together!

A Black Water Mysterious Snake hundreds of feet long, a Black Thorn Fish as fierce as a tiger shark, along with various Mysterious Dark Beasts whose names Fang Xi could and could not recall.

Among them, he even saw a thousand-year-old Dragon Newt!

Its body was over a hundred feet long with a red line on its back that made it look quite majestic, certainly having evolved into a Flood Dragon!

Woo woo!

As Fang Xi was contemplating, his ears caught the ethereal and resonant sound of a whale singing!

"A True Armored Whale? Damn..."

Fang Xi’s face darkened as he stowed away his Spirit Boat, shielded himself with the "Mysterious Dark Banner," and flew backward to escape.

Only then, in his Divine Consciousness, did he realize there was a True Armored Whale, tens of miles long and seemingly clad in a layer of thick armor, emerging amidst the school of fish.

What was more surprising was that it was not receiving the worship of the myriad fish but was, like the thousand-year-old Dragon Newt, one in the group of worshippers...

Hurulu!

The Mysterious Dark Sea rolled, becoming even more tumultuous than when the "Unfixed Wind" blew.

Szzzt!

It was as if the sky itself had shattered, countless Primordial Energies radiating colors of light, churning down like a funnel.

The Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy within tens of thousands of miles tumbled, even forming tides!

Fang Xi suddenly felt his hair stand on end!

"This is not the Power of Transcendent God!"

"Directly invoking the Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy... This is the Power of Returning to Emptiness!"

He looked towards the depths of the sea and immediately saw an unbelievable scene.

The Mysterious Dark Sea churned, lifting a tsunami dozens of miles high!

An unimaginable Primordial Chaos Beast leaped out from the bottom of the Mysterious Dark Deep Abyss.

Warala!

Countless waters were lifted into the sky, turning into terrifying "Mysterious Dark Rain Clouds" that affected hundreds of thousands of miles.

The "Mysterious Dark Rain," one of the three great dangers of the Mysterious Dark Deep Abyss, was actually caused by a Primordial Chaos Beast!

It was probably a secret not even known by the many Cultivating Immortal Families that lived off the Mysterious Dark Deep Abyss!

Because most who witnessed this scene perished!

If it weren’t for Fang Xi being a Transcendent God, capable of preserving himself amidst such a tide of Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy, he might have been torn apart by the Primordial Energy as some nearby unlucky cultivators were...

And amidst the storm, he finally saw the true form of that Primordial Chaos Beast!

It was a...

"Kun?!"

Fang Xi murmured as he gazed at the ancient beast that resembled both fish and bird.

This giant Kun was over two hundred miles long; even the True Armored Whale beside it seemed just like a little brother by comparison. Yet it was now swimming around the giant Kun, appearing very excited.

"Kun is so large, it’s unknowable how many thousands of miles it spans... It seems this one is just a child, albeit a child of who knows how many billion tons..."

Fang Xi didn’t look any further and continued to retreat frantically.

This giant Primordial Chaos Beast Kun definitely possessed ’Returning to Emptiness’ strength. Once it reached maturity, it would at least have the fighting power of Integration!

"No wonder the Dragon Controlling Sect didn’t directly take over the Mysterious Dark Deep Abyss and catch all those Dragon Newts in one swoop... It turns out there’s such a terrifying creature lurking in the depths..."

As Fang Xi flew away, he felt fortunate that the giant Kun had not noticed him.

But then again, to the other, he was less significant than a sesame seed and thus unworthy of attention.

Otherwise, even a casual strike would have forced him to escape using the "Treasures of All Heavens."

"One of the four great dangers of the Mysterious Dark Deep Abyss... the Sea Eye Land at the center of the abyss... it’s unknown what it connects to, the giant Kun must have come from there..."

"Out of the Sea Eye Land, even if some terrifying giant or Primordial Chaos Beast emerges, it’s probably quite possible..."

Up until now, Fang Xi was somewhat puzzled as to why the territory of Primordial Chaos Beasts had become forbidden lands, even keeping people, demons, and monsters separate.

But having now witnessed it first-hand, he finally understood.

In such a unique environment, even if a cultivator of Integration came, they might not be able to do anything to this giant Kun...

Those Primordial Chaos Beasts at Mahayana Level, it is said, could compete with powerful True Spirits like true dragons and phoenixes; it was probably not without reason!

All three major groups pulling out all the stops might be able to take down one, but at too great a cost, leading to one’s own weakness and giving enemies an opportunity, which naturally no one would choose to do.

"It was indeed right to come to this Earth Immortal Realm, where in the Mortal World would one find such magnificent beings..."

Though Fang Xi was somewhat in disarray, once he had escaped tens of thousands of miles away, his mood was quite exhilarated, "That was close!"
