Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation Chapter 1909 Raw 2012 : Abyssal Underworld’s First Layer

Chapter 1909 (Raw 2012): Abyssal Underworld’s First Layer
Xiao Chen had blown up the Demonic Cloud Mountain with the Eighteen Great Bandits all there. Naturally, none of them managed to escape. They were all caught up in the explosion.
The inherited Dao Tool’s explosion reached the deepest part of the interior. It was easy to imagine how severe their injuries were.
Not dying immediately when the Dao Tool exploded was already something of a miracle.
Sending the Demon Blood Vulture to deal with the survivors was the best solution.
Xiao Chen took out a Primeval Heavenly Pill and consumed it. Then, he sat down cross-legged and recuperated on a mountain summit.
Miserable cries kept coming from Smoky Cloud Mountain Range. He ignored them all, remaining calm and resting.
That earlier arrow exhausted all his Soul Energy and Veritable Essence Energy. It even overdrew on some of his lifeforce.
Otherwise, the God Shadow Bow could not have unleashed such enormous might.
Normally, only a Rank 5 sect or above could have a Soul Tool as the trump card of the sect.
Even a Sovereign Personage could not bring out the full might of a Soul Tool. Although Xiao Chen’s Veritable Essence Energy was vast and pure for a Star Venerate, his Soul Energy was still somewhat lacking in comparison.
Every time Xiao Chen used a Soul Tool, he would suffer a significant rebound.
Hence, he would absolutely not use a Soul Tool unless he had to. He also had to do his best to keep his Soul Tools a secret.
After one hour, Xiao Chen opened his eyes. His complexion had recovered some color.
A red light flashed before Xiao Chen’s eyes. It was the Demon Blood Vulture flying back cockily, circling in the air.
He grabbed the Tyrant Saber beside him and soared into the air. Then, he landed on the Demon Blood Vulture’s back.
Amid the fog-covered Smoky Cloud Mountain Range, the white-robed Xiao Chen rode the Demon Blood Vulture and tore through the clouds and fog.
After mere moments, he saw the corpses of the Eighteen Great Bandits among the rubble of the various peaks.
The Eighteen Great Bandits died in different manners, all killed by the Demon Blood Vulture.
Xiao Chen revealed a satisfied expression. The current efficiency of the Demon Blood Vulture was very gratifying.
It was worth giving the Demon Blood Vulture the Beast Blood Pill.
“One!”
Xiao Chen stopped smiling and drew his saber. Then, he chopped off the head of one of the Eighteen Great Bandits from the air before grabbing it and placing it in his storage ring.
As the Demon Blood Vulture circled around in the air, the storage rings and the heads of all the Eighteen Great Bandits soon ended up in Xiao Chen’s storage ring.
The mission was completed perfectly.
Xiao Chen heaved a sigh of relief. All in all, he used only one month to complete the first three missions. This left him with ample time to complete the last mission.
Just as he prepared to leave, the Demon Blood Vulture’s voice suddenly rang out in his mind. Master, I discovered something interesting.
“Oh?”
His interest piqued, Xiao Chen got the Demon Blood Vulture to lead the way. After a while, the Demon Blood Vulture arrived at the rubble of a mountain peak.
Due to the Demonic Cloud Mountain’s explosion, many of the nearby peaks had crumbled as a result of the shock wave.
This mountain peak in front was one of them.
Xiao Chen jumped off the Demon Blood Vulture’s back and found a cuboid crystal with dense markings on all its faces.
When he toyed with the crystal, he discovered that it was practically flawless.
This crystal looked like a natural gem.
However, the formation markings carved on it said that this was manmade.
After Xiao Chen studied this crystal for a while, his eyes gleamed. It’s a storage medium.
It was something like a storage ring. However, this crystal should have previously been inlaid in the Demonic Cloud Mountain, a part of the inherited Dao Tool.
Could the treasures that the Demonic Cloud Mountain Eighteen Great Bandits accumulated from robbing others for many years be in there?
If that was so, Xiao Chen would have earned big.
However, this formation was somewhat hard to figure out. He could not decipher it so quickly.
The Demonic Cloud Mountain Eighteen Great Bandits consisted of people who were excellent at various skills. This crystal had to be the product of a Formation Master. Ordinary people would not be able to unlock it.
However, that did not matter. Xiao Chen simply put it away for now.
After doing so, he left this place to complete the final mission.
At this moment, Xiao Chen was eager to return so that he could break through to late-stage Star Venerate.
With the comprehensions that he gained from these battles, he was ready to break through to late-stage Star Venerate.
Xiao Chen wanted to complete the missions quickly and rush back to the sect to participate in the heaven-class core disciple selection.
The underground world, also known as the Abyssal Underworld, had a total of nine layers. Each layer was incredibly vast. Back before the Martial Epoch fully rose up, Fiendish Demons caused chaos everywhere. After the predecessors of the various races killed them, the Fiendish Demons’ descendants went underground.
The Fiendish Demons’ descendants mingled with the races that originally existed underground, recuperating their strength. After one million years, they had developed a civilization that was no inferior to that of the surface.
The nine Underworld Monarchs were famous and had led the Underground Demons to attack the surface of the Central Great Realm.
Fortunately, the current nine Underworld Monarchs had conflicts with each other. They frequently fought each other and had no time to care about anything else.
Furthermore, the dynasties ruled most of the surface of the Central Great Realm. They enjoyed the Luck of the Central Great Realm and had accumulated it for hundreds of thousands of years. The accumulations of each dynasty were all horrifyingly scary.
There were also the four Buddhist temples, the three Daoist sects, and other transcendent Holy Lands. With all these, the Abyssal Underworld could not cause any major problems.
However, the Dragon Race’s people had somewhat complicated feelings for the Abyssal Underworld.
This was because the only one that truly had ruled the entire Abyssal Underworld was the Dragon Race’s Black Dragon King, also known as the Supreme Underworld Monarch.
However, this Black Dragon King nearly brought about the complete destruction of the Divine Dragon Empire. That was a piece of history that no one of the current Dragon Race was willing to mention.
If one wanted to enter the Abyssal Underworld, one would have to search for deep abyss cracks.
The underground world was not located in the conventional understanding of underground. It was more of the dark side of the Central Great Realm.
The underground world was attached to the Central Great Realm and was incredibly vast. It was mysterious and unfathomable, even more horrifyingly so than the Central Great Realm.
One could not travel between the two worlds by normal means. However, after a long time, some surprises always appeared.
The deep abyss cracks were the result of these surprises, allowing people to travel freely between the two worlds.
Xiao Chen spent seven days in a desolate plain of the Divine Dragon Empire before he found a huge crack that seemed to split the world down the middle, spreading out for millions of kilometers and looking endless.
The crack in the ground was pitch-black. Occasionally, he could see strange creatures flying in the darkness but nothing else aside from that.
Blood Crows!
Xiao Chen frowned slightly. He had seen these dark creatures before. They were creatures made up of dark energy and negative emotions.
Apparently, there was a huge Blood Crow nest hidden in the darkness below.
The Demon Blood Vulture looked at the crack below with an excited expression. It smelled the demonic-natured food that its bloodline desired.
“Dive,” Xiao Chen ordered, and the Demon Blood Vulture shot down like an arrow.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
After they fell for some distance, an overwhelming number of Blood Crows flew out from the incredibly cold, dark crack.
“They are indeed Blood Crows!”
Xiao Chen’s expression flickered. These Blood Crows were even more horrifying than the Blood Crows in the Kunlun Realm.
These Blood Crows were all incredibly huge and flickered with a red light in the darkness. Their wings were like blades, and their eyes shone with an evil light. They were actually all mutated Blood Crows.
The Blood Crows came in a large flock, covering the sky and land.
Without the strength of a Holy Venerate or a powerful treasure protecting the body, diving into the crack would be akin to committing suicide.
However, the Demon Blood Vulture considered these Blood Crows delicacies. The Demon Blood Vulture that Xiao Chen sat on started laughing maniacally.
It quickly flapped its scarlet wings, and a strong wind surged out. Then, this wind pulled a large clump of mutated Blood Crows into its mouth.
As Xiao Chen sat on the Demon Blood Vulture, he showed no expression, just unleashed two types of Great Dao Energies.
Any Blood Crow that managed to escape and dared to get near were either electrocuted to death or pierced by saber Qi.
The Demon Blood Vulture continued its dive. Mutated Blood Crow corpses fell like rain. Who knew how many were killed?
As for those that the Demon Blood Vulture swallowed, the number was even greater.
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, the world spun around. Xiao Chen felt something strange: his Demonic Qi Veritable Essence Energy strengthened significantly for no reason.
When his field of view widened again, the Demon Blood Vulture had already landed on a peak.
On the peak, Xiao Chen looked into the distance. The vista before him was vast and boundless. There were plains, mountains, and rivers. The environment was rather complicated and appeared quite strange.
“This is the Abyssal Underworld’s first layer?” Xiao Chen muttered as he sat on the Demon Blood Vulture’s back.
The Underground Demons ruling the Abyssal Underworld’s first layer were the Rakshasa Race. The next race in power was the Flood Dragon Humans. Aside from these, there were ghostly beasts that existed only in the Abyssal Underworld.
However, the Flood Dragon Humans’ situation in the Abyssal Underworld was different from the Rakshasa Race’s. They did not have fixed abodes but wandered around, scattered throughout the nine Abyssal Underworld layers. In each layer, they were considered bottom-feeder existences.
The Rakshasa Race stayed mainly in the first layer. The First Underworld Monarch was Rakshasa Tian, the strongest of the Rakshasa Race.
Xiao Chen took out the corresponding mission card and activated it to inform the Dragon’s Gate’s faction in the underground world of his arrival. Then, he waited for a response.
