Chapter 637: Chapter 637: Escape from Death

Jing Yan’s lips curled into a bitter smile.

He finally realized just how strong Gu Wanquan truly was.

His every move had proven futile.

Had Gu Wanquan not wanted to capture him alive, he would likely have already been killed by now.

As his body was thrown through the air, Jing Yan did not attempt to control it. The Primordial Energy in his Martial Arts Meridians was completely chaotic, bordering on explosion, and even the Fog Vortex showed signs of cracking and collapsing.

Furthermore, even if he forced himself to take control, what could he achieve? Ultimately, he would still fall into Gu Wanquan’s hands.

"Senior Tianshui, this time, it really is inescapable," Jing Yan sent the message to Tianshui with a wry smile.

Jing Yan heard Tianshui sigh.

"Up ahead is the Death Abyss. Jing Yan, if that old man captures you, life would be worse than death. Since that’s the case, you might as well rush into the Death Abyss," Tianshui said.

"The Death Abyss?"

"Alright!" Jing Yan gritted his teeth!

Forcing his Primordial Energy, he activated the Sky Wings and accelerated with the momentum.

Gu Wanquan had not expected Jing Yan to rush toward the Death Abyss. By the time he realized Jing Yan’s action, it was already a bit too late.

Jing Yan’s speed was not much inferior to his.

After Jing Yan dashed for more than ten miles, he saw a huge black chasm appear.

Even the buffer zone in this Despair Abyss was blood-red, making the huge blackness seem very sinister.

Above the chasm, black fog swirled. Looking down, one could not see the bottom at all; Jing Yan’s vision, upgraded as it was, could only see down to ten meters. Below that, everything was a blur.

Jing Yan’s Divine Soul could sense the terrifying danger emanating from the huge black chasm.

However, Jing Yan didn’t care. Seeing Gu Wanquan chase after him again, Jing Yan sped up once more.

In the blink of an eye, Jing Yan’s figure had already rushed into that terrifying grey shadow.

"Jing Yan..." Hu Donghe yelled out loud.

"Ah, what a pity! Such a demon, if he could have enough time to cultivate, his future achievements..."

"Didn’t expect this youngster, really isn’t even afraid of death. He would rather die in the Death Abyss than be caught by Gu Wanquan," Chang Huan shook his head, sighing deeply.

"Damn beast! Damn it! Damn bastard!" Gu Wanquan was furious. He stopped in his tracks and stomped his feet hard, but he truly did not dare to follow Jing Yan into the Death Abyss.

The Death Abyss!

Even practitioners of the Saint Realm who entered had little chance of surviving, not to mention he was only of the Dao Emperor Realm.

He wanted the Qiankun Ring, but his own life was clearly more important.

"Ancestor!" Gu Mo and Gu Xianlun also came to Gu Wanquan’s side.

Gu Wanquan ignored them, instead staring intently at the Death Abyss ahead.

"Donghe Great Pill King, has Jing Yan entered the Death Abyss?" At this moment, several figures flew over from a distance, one of them asked.

These people were also from the Great Families of the Heavenly Origin Continent, all powerful Dao Emperor Realm practitioners.

Before them, they had been following Hu Donghe and Chang Huan, so they arrived here a bit later and just happened to see Jing Yan rushing into the Death Abyss.

"Yes," Hu Donghe nodded.

"It’s such a pity! At this time, with the Abyss not opened, entering the Despair Abyss means certain death, with absolutely no chance of survival. Even Dao Emperor Realm Practitioners are destined to die." The man shook his head, seemingly sympathetic, but what he truly thought inside could be hard to say.

No matter how strong Jing Yan’s talent or potential, it didn’t really relate to them. Perhaps, they even wished for Jing Yan, this monster, to perish.

"Yes, it is indeed a pity! A super genius that appears once in a thousand years, just to fall like that."

"Hehe, thus it is said, no matter how high one’s talent, as long as they have not truly grown up, it holds little value. No one can be sure when a genius might die."

Several practitioners from the great families of Dao Emperor strength, discussed together.

"Mr. Chang Huan, what do you think is the reason Gu Wanquan is so intent on capturing Jing Yan?" one person asked, looking towards Chang Huan.

"I don’t know either," Chang Huan shook his head.

After all, to say that Gu Wanquan just wanted to avenge his grandson seemed far-fetched. Everyone vaguely felt that Gu Wanquan had other reasons for wanting to capture Jing Yan so desperately.

Jing Yan rushed into the Death Abyss!

A cold, deathly aura instantly enveloped him, eroding towards his Divine Soul.

"Jing Yan, quickly enter the Qiankun Ring." Just as Jing Yan was about to lose consciousness, Tianshui’s voice came.

Jing Yan’s Divine Soul was indeed quite strong. If it had been an average martial artist, even one at the Dao King Realm, they probably would have completely lost themselves upon contact with the death aura of the Death Abyss and lost their autonomous consciousness.

But Jing Yan’s Divine Soul was strong enough to give him a bit more time.

Hearing Tianshui’s voice, Jing Yan immediately entered the space within the Qiankun Ring.

"Hu!" Entering the Qiankun Small World, Jing Yan felt a relief from the pressure and couldn’t help but let out a long breath.

He quickly sensed the state of his Divine Soul. Upon entering the Death Abyss, Jing Yan felt his Divine Soul being rapidly eroded.

"What is that power?"

"Merely in the blink of an eye upon contact, my Divine Soul was actually eroded?" Jing Yan said weakly.

After bearing a strike from Gu Wanquan, Jing Yan’s bodily injuries were not light. Now even his Divine Soul had also received quite severe damage.

He quickly consumed some Healing Pills and then took out a Dragon Tiger Pill and swallowed it.

The injuries on his body were not a worry, with high-level Healing Pills, it wouldn’t take long to recover. However, the damage to his Divine Soul might need time to heal, and fortunately, he had the Dragon Tiger Pill, a pill capable of nurturing the Divine Soul, otherwise the consequences would be hard to say.

Back in Pill Country, Jing Yan had specifically refined some Dragon Tiger Pills, to be prepared for emergencies.

Several hours later, Jing Yan slowly opened his eyes.

The injuries on his body had largely healed, and the Fog Vortex had been stabilized. The damage to his Divine Soul, likewise due to the effects of the Dragon Tiger Pill, had received some repair.

Jing Yan saw that Tianshui’s residual soul was standing beside him.

"Senior, what exactly is the deal with this Death Abyss?" Jing Yan asked Tianshui, "Can we be safe inside the Qiankun Small World?"

Tianshui slowly shook his head.

"We are temporarily safe, but only temporarily," Tianshui said. "The Death Abyss is extremely dangerous. When I was still alive, I heard of an incident. Before the great war between the Human Gods, in order to explore the Death Abyss, both the Human Clan and the Divine Race had collaborated. During that exploration, it was said that dozens of practitioners from the Saint Realm and above had entered the Death Abyss together. But in the end, out of those dozens of Saint Realm human martial artists and members of the Divine Race, only two survived."

"Ah?" Jing Yan stared in disbelief, his eyes wide.
