The World Awakens: Ten Consecutive Draws Before Invincibility

Chapter 89: Abyss

“We already have twenty-four [Barrow’s Souls].”

“We only need to collect 11 more for us to reach our goal,” Chen Feng said to everyone with a smile,

“Uh…”

Pu Yunmo pursed his lips and said, “Why do I feel that this target is a little beyond our reach? The 24 [Barrow’s Souls] that we have should include the seven that we obtained previously, the ones that we obtained from the French team from the [Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets] as well as all the ones that we obtained from Ivanovna’s team.”

“Now that most of the soul beasts have been hunted, what should we do to get our hands on the remaining [Barrow’s Souls] that we need?”

After Chen Feng defeated Ivanovna, they all heard the sounds of battle coming from within the forest once again.

There was not a single battle between Awakened Ones and soul beasts. All the battles occurring were between different teams of Awakened Ones.

Chen Feng even suspected that the battle might be an internal battle within a team of Awakened Ones.

After all, there were too few of them participating in the battle.

With Chen Feng’s perception of the elements, he could tell that there were only four people on both sides of the battle. Eventually, only one person survived.

It was very likely that their team had only obtained five [Barrow’s Souls]. These [Barrow’s Souls] were only sufficient for one member to survive. Therefore, an internal battle had occurred.

Under the threat of death, the weakness of human nature would be exposed no matter the circumstances.

The ugliest side of human nature could no longer be concealed…

…

“Are there any more soul beasts?! It’s almost dawn!”

Pu Yunmo could not help but complain as he made his way forward.

The quiet night was about to pass, and the distant horizon was beginning to turn bright.

It should be four or five in the morning by now. They had spent two hours in the forest, and they had only seen one soul beast. They had only obtained six [Barrow’s Souls] from the said soul beast.

In other words…they were still lacking four [Barrow’s Souls]!

However, Chen Feng did not plan to attack the other teams.

In other words, if the other teams did not take the initiative to attack him, he would not take the lead to attack them either.

This was Chen Feng’s personality.

Although Chen Feng’s team was strong enough to crush any other team, Chen Feng would not offend anyone else if they did not offend him.

He wouldn’t actively attack the other teams, but if any other teams wanted to attack them…

Hehe, they had to consider their own self-worth then.

After walking further into the forest for half an hour, Chen Feng seemed to notice something. A serious expression formed on his face.

“Look in front of you…Be careful!”

Everyone turned serious after seeing the sudden change in Chen Feng’s expression. Even Pu Yunmo stopped smiling.

After all, the appearance of Ivanovna made them feel threatened.

Before entering the [Mystic Realm of Gaotian Plains], everyone felt that they were truly the chosen ones. However, after meeting their enemies, they finally understood that there would always someone better than them.

Even a freak with a full set of SSS-rank talents like Chen Feng had to be careful.

If it were not for the [Soul Suppressing Tower], Chen Feng might really have died in Ivanovna’s hands. That would be terrible…

As he moved forward, he realized that the forest had become sparser.

The black thorny trees and tall scholar trees were becoming sparser and sparser. The gaps between the trees were widening.

“We should be reaching the end of the forest soon.”

Chen Feng contemplated in his heart. He was also curious as to what awaited them at the end of the forest.

Finally, something appeared before them after they passed through the forest.

Everyone’s expression changed drastically.

“Oh my god! What kind of place is this?”

A bottomless abyss appeared in front of them!

The abyss was at least 300 meters wide, and its depth…They could not see the bottom of the abyss, so it was impossible to determine how deep it was.

Black smoke was everywhere. The smoke resembled some sort of toxic gas.

“Isn’t [Gaotian Plains] where the gods live? Why is there a hell-like abyss over here?”

Pu Yunmo couldn’t help but question out loud.

Other than him, Chen Feng and Blake also cast curious gazes at Sakurai Longzi.

After all, she was the only Japanese here. She came from the Sakurai family of Japan and knew many secrets that ordinary people had never heard of.

“Don’t look at me.”

Sakurai Longzi frowned.

“The Japanese gods live in [Gaotian Plains], not me. This is the home of the gods, not my home. How can I be sure of what’s going on?”

They approached the abyss cautiously since Sakurai Longzi did not know about its origin.

Finally, they stopped walking when they were one step away from the edge of the cliff.

“The gas is toxic…”

Chen Feng looked at the black gas in front of him and felt a sense of extreme danger.

“Test the corrosive nature of this gas.”

“Wood Whip!”

A wooden stick popped out of the ground beside Chen Feng’s feet. It slowly extended towards the black gas in front of him. The moment the wooden stick came into contact with the black gas, its surface instantly turned black.

Thud—Thud—

The sound of corrosion rang out. In less than half a second, the thickness of the wooden strip had shrunk by half.

One second later, the entire log disappeared.

It turned into ashes, which scattered into the bottomless abyss.

“What a corrosive gas!”

Everyone’s pupils trembled. This was not an ordinary piece of wood. This was a piece of wood that Chen Feng had formed using the [Wood Whip].

Even the toughest wood in nature could not compare to the [Wood Whip].

Even if Chen Feng soaked the block of wood in concentrated sulfuric acid for a day or two, only some of the wood’s outer layers would be eroded at most.

But now…

“If a human had fallen in, they would have been instantly turned into a pile of bones,” Pu Yunmo said as he took half a step back in fear. He involuntarily shrank his neck back into his shirt.

“I’m afraid there won’t even be bones left. The bones of the human body can’t withstand such corrosion. If you fall in…it would take five seconds? Seven seconds? None of your remains would be left,” Sakurai Longzi said. “I conducted similar research when I was in university.”

“What did you major in back in university?”

“I was an anatomy major in the medical department of Kyungdong University,” Sakurai Longzi said with a smile.

Chen Feng, Park Yunmo, and Blake felt their bodies tremble at once. They cast odd glances at Sakurai Longzi.

He did not know why, but he felt a chill run down his spine when he heard about her major.

“What’s inside the abyss?” Chen Feng stood at the edge of the abyss and leaned over to look down.

Suddenly, he felt the [Hibiscus Seed] in his backpack tremble slightly. It gave him some positive feedback.

“Is there something related to the Godly Tree down there?”

Chen Feng was delighted. He still remembered what the Yatengu had said. If he wanted to survive, he had to look for the Godly Tree.

If Chen Feng guessed correctly, the [Hibiscus Seed] in his hand should be the seed of the legendary Godly Tree.

According to the Chinese myth, “The Classic of Mountains and Seas”, there was a hibiscus tree located where the sun rose in the east. Ten suns lived there, and the suns would rise from there every day.

This place was rumored to be the gate that connected the Immortal Realm, the Mortal Realm, and the Netherworld.

Subsequently, the light released by theten suns brought great disaster to mankind. Therefore, Da Yi stood on the hibiscus tree and shot down nine of the suns. He left only one behind.

During this process, Da Yi crushed the hibiscus tree, which made it difficult for the Mortal Realm, the God Realm, and the Netherworld to contact each other.

Other than that, many Chinese scholars have written about Hibiscus in their papers.

There was another saying. “Hibiscus” was said to be the name of a place. There were many hibiscus trees on a piece of land 20,000 miles to the east of China. Therefore, that piece of land was named “Hibiscus”.

The East of China…It was most likely that they were referring to Japan.

“Hibiscus… Japan…”

Chen Feng thought about it and realized there was an extremely complex relationship between these two things.

He had to enter this abyss in order to find out more about the [Hibiscus Seed] and the Godly Tree.

Although this abyss looked extremely dangerous, Chen Feng felt that he had to take a risk.

Chen Feng felt like a pair of invisible eyes were staring back at him as he stared at the bottomless abyss.

“When you stare into the abyss, the abyss is staring back at you.”

For some reason, these words suddenly appeared in Chen Feng’s mind.

Just then, something happened.

A hand gently pressed against Chen Feng’s back.

Before he could react, he was pushed forward by a powerful force.

Chen Feng’s pupils constricted.

He was now standing at the edge of the cliff. Even if he took a step forward, he would fall into the dark abyss!

Flash Spell!

Chen Feng immediately took out his staff and attempted to teleport to a safe location.

However, just as he was about to cast the spell, he realized…he was unable to do so!

All his magical and mental powers seemed to be sealed within his body. Not only was he unable to cast the Flash Spell, but he was also unable to use any of his other skills.

“Crap!”

Chen Feng cursed in rage. He felt like a bird that had lost its wings. He fell from the edge of the cliff and dropped down into the endless darkness in front of him.
