Chapter 84: Chapter 83: Abyss Demon Ancestor
To call himself the second Demon Ancestor was pure self-aggrandizement on Qin Feng’s part. In his previous life, countless Demons had surpassed him.
However, the title of Abyss Demon Ancestor was well-deserved.
Qin Feng was the creator of the Endless Abyss. His Lifebound Array Map was the Ten Directions Abyssal Annihilation Array. Once it reached Great Success, it would fuse with his personal heaven and earth to become the Endless Abyss. The Inner Heaven and Earth he had cultivated in his past life was, in fact, an Endless Abyss.
Qin Feng was the original Demon Ancestor of the Endless Abyss, its very creator.
However, when he had traveled through Space-Time, the Endless Abyss was reverted to its original form to protect his soul from being obliterated. The Endless Abyss devolved into Chaos, reforming into the Abyssal Demon Map and hiding itself deep within Qin Feng’s soul.
But the Abyssal Demon Map had once been a perfect little world. Even in its diminished state, it was still formidable. Trapping a Martial Artist of the Condensing Vein Realm was more than enough.
This was Qin Feng’s final, life-saving trump card, one he wouldn’t play until the very last moment.
Of course, the main issue was that opening the Abyssal Heaven and Earth placed too great a burden on Qin Feng. At his Late-stage Martial Arts Fourth Layer Cultivation, he couldn’t have opened the damaged Endless Abyss even if he sacrificed all his flesh and blood. Even now, with the support from the Mystic Turtle Divine Pill’s properties, he could only maintain it for thirty breaths at most.
Furthermore, if the beautiful woman in white hadn’t been so close to Qin Feng, he might not have succeeded in pulling her into the Endless Abyss.
Qin Feng’s eyes grew cold. ’If it weren’t for all these restrictions, I wouldn’t have had to just stand by and watch the Zuo Brothers die.’
...
"Demon Ancestor? How shameless. A mere wet-behind-the-ears brat who hasn’t even reached the Martial Arts Fourth Layer dares call himself an ancestor? No matter what this place is or what kind of Treasure it might be, with your paltry Cultivation, you can’t possibly maintain it for long. Once I break free, not only will you die, but this little world will be mine!"
The sea here surged violently, with monstrous waves reaching for the sky. It appeared endless at first glance, but the real area was only about a hundred miles wide; everything beyond was an illusion.
After her initial shock, the beautiful woman in white quickly recovered her composure. As her eyes swept across this little world, they grew increasingly bright, unable to hide her delight.
A flush crept up the beautiful woman’s cheeks as she stared at the unfamiliar landscape with excitement.
The beautiful woman in white had a faint inkling this might be a small world, one at the dawn of its creation from Chaos. The more she considered the possibility, the more incredible it seemed.
’A mere Martial Arts Fourth Layer practitioner actually possesses such a Supreme Treasure—a small world at the dawn of its creation! If I can obtain this world and refine it, won’t I be able to ascend to the heavens in a single step and become a Great Cultivator of the Nirvana Realm?’
’A Great Cultivator in the Nirvana Realm is a true Giant, an overlord who commands countless cities like Mountain and River City.’
"A fortuitous encounter, delivered right to my doorstep!" The beautiful woman in white rejoiced, immediately mustering all her True Power in an attempt to shatter this world and seize the opportunity for its Refinement.
The Endless Abyss trembled violently. An immense, icy aura surged from the woman in white. She thrust out her palm, unleashing a boundless chill from the depths of the Void that threatened to tear through the Jade Sea Abyss.
’What audacity,’ Qin Feng thought. ’She’s fallen into my Endless Abyss, yet she still dreams of turning the tables and seizing it for herself!’
Deep within the Abyssal Demon Map, Qin Feng listened to the woman’s words, his gaze cold as he watched her attack the map again and again.
The Abyssal Demon Map deep within his soul trembled violently, on the verge of becoming uncontrollable.
It wasn’t that the Abyssal Demon Map was weak, but that its master’s Cultivation was too low. At the Martial Arts Fourth Layer, he couldn’t even unleash a one-hundred-millionth of its true power.
Qin Feng felt helpless about this. Despite his exceptional talent, his starting point was too low. It had been less than a month since he had reawakened!
Qin Feng frowned. The Abyssal Demon Map was too severely damaged. He had been forced to activate even its first layer, the Jade Sea Abyss. The other layers remained forcibly sealed.
’If I could activate the second layer, the Lava Abyss,’ he thought, ’this woman wouldn’t even be able to put up a fight. She’d be captured instantly.’
However, restoring the Endless Abyss required meeting extremely demanding conditions; he needed to find specific, special Spiritual Objects to reactivate its layers.
The first layer was the Jade Sea Abyss. To truly manifest its power, he had to find a High-level Water Attribute Spiritual Object containing a trace of Water Attribute Origin.
However, Spiritual Objects were already rare, and those containing Water Attribute Origin Power were practically unheard of.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The Jade Sea Abyss shook violently, and the entire space teetered on the verge of collapse. More than half of the hundred-mile-wide azure sea had been frozen solid.
"Hmph!" A chilling light flashed in his eyes as Qin Feng’s figure abruptly materialized in front of the beautiful woman in white.
The woman, who had been bombarding the Void of the Jade Sea Abyss, froze. A look of horror crossed her face as she stared at the black-robed youth. She realized she had been completely unable to track his movements; it was as if he had appeared out of thin air.
"Thousand-Year Ice Seal Technique—Freeze All Creation!" The beautiful woman forcefully suppressed the turmoil in her heart, gathering all her True Power into a single palm strike aimed to kill Qin Feng.
This palm strike contained the entirety of the woman’s power. As she thrust it forward, a vast, frigid energy erupted, like a profound coldness condensed for eons deep within an endless glacier.
A flash of confidence appeared in her eyes. She believed that even if this palm strike couldn’t kill Qin Feng, it would be more than enough to grievously wound him.
This was a full-power attack from a cultivator at the third minor stage of the Condensing Vein Realm. Even a Sea of Reincarnation Realm expert who had grasped a sliver of Space Power would be injured by such a blow.
As long as she injured him, she was confident she could capture him alive, force him to hand over the Refining Method for this world, and claim it for herself.
But in the next moment, the confident expression on the woman’s face froze. Qin Feng merely lifted a hand—a fair, slender palm—and pressed it against the empty air. Instantly, an indescribable force met and stopped the relentless wave of ice.
The beautiful woman’s body went rigid. It became an immense struggle to even twitch a finger.
An invisible force had locked her in place!
"What is this power?" the beautiful woman asked, horrified.
"This is a Space Lock. After one comprehends the Seed of Heaven and Earth and cultivates True Power, one must integrate Space Power to form a Sea of Reincarnation Space. It is an ability exclusive to experts of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm!"
The black-robed figure descended from the air. As he took each step, the seawater below him surged upward to form a staircase.
With a faint, cold smile, Qin Feng waved his hand. This invisible power, which permeated the entire Abyssal Heaven and Earth, could be summoned with a single thought from him.
"Space Power?" The beautiful woman’s face turned pale. As an expert of the Condensing Vein Realm, she was deeply aware of how terrifying Space Power truly was.
Qin Feng gave a slight smile. Gazing at the bewitching beauty before him, he reached out and frivolously lifted her smooth, rounded chin. "You can also call it a Domain Ability," he said lightly. "An extraordinary ability that every Martial Artist in the Condensing Vein Realm dreams of obtaining!"
"This entire Jade Sea Abyss can be considered a planar Domain. On my turf, I make the rules. In here, no one can defy the might of the Creator God!"
Qin Feng looked down imperiously at the woman, his gaze lingering on the rise and fall of her chest.
The woman’s snow-white silk gown did little to hide her stunning curves. Beneath its hem, a pair of long, shapely, and well-toned legs were perfectly proportioned. Judging by her dress, she clearly knew how to best display her impressive figure.
"What are you planning to do?" A flicker of panic crossed the woman’s eyes. Forcing herself to remain calm, she tilted her pretty face up and spoke coolly.
"I know you’re only a Martial Artist at the Martial Arts Fourth Layer. You’re fundamentally incapable of wielding such tremendous power. I don’t know what price you’ve paid to control this ability temporarily, but you certainly can’t maintain it for much longer. I’d advise you not to go too far. Otherwise, the moment I break free, I will tear you limb from limb!"
"I have to admit, you’ve impressed me," Qin Feng said, genuinely surprised. This woman was truly sharp; in a mere moment, she had pieced together his current predicament with near-perfect accuracy.
Controlling the Abyssal Heaven and Earth was indeed too much for someone at the Martial Arts Fourth Layer. If the Mystic Turtle Divine Pill wasn’t providing a constant stream of power, the woman would have shattered this space long ago.
Even so, thirty breaths was his absolute limit. Once that time was up, he would suffer a backlash, and his body would be drained of its Essence Blood, turning him into a shriveled corpse.
At that point, not even the Mystic Turtle Divine Pill could save him.
Qin Feng’s expression remained impassive as he slowly approached her from behind.
"You guessed right. But why is your heart beating so fast!"
