Chapter 1730: Chapter 1729: [How Deep Is This, Really?]

Ye Tianchen didn’t expect that reaching the center of Zhongnan Mountain, with ”Taiyi Mountain” as the main peak and the other four peaks as its auxiliary, would be so difficult. Not only are there Thunder Dragons descending, striking at him, but there are also mighty Gang Winds turned into sharp swords, charging towards him to kill. Such a setup, though not unprecedentedly powerful, is rare in history. Even if a Martial Artist with not very profound cultivation arrived here, they would likely fall, let alone ordinary mortal people?

Of course, with Ye Tianchen’s current cultivation realm at the mid-stage Martial Saint level, along with the powerful treasures he possesses, he certainly has no fear. At least on Earth, whether in the Mortal World or the Ancient Martial World, there is no place that Ye Tianchen wouldn’t dare to go. After successfully blocking these power forces of thunder and lightning and the Gang Wind, Ye Tianchen quickly surveyed the surrounding four mountain peaks. He found that there was a rune at the top of each mountain, each with the character ’Suppression’. Ye Tianchen could discern that these were clearly suppression symbols. However, in this area centered around ”Taiyi Mountain,” all four surrounding mountain summits had this rune, all with the character ’Suppression’. What exactly were they suppressing?

Just as Ye Tianchen was puzzled, he suddenly noticed what seemed to be buried under the ’Suppression’ symbol were black iron chains. The chains were not very thick, but Ye Tianchen could feel that these chains were not made from earthly materials. When he grabbed one of the black chains with his hand and explored it with Divine Thought, he discovered runes filled all over the chain!

”Could it be like this?” Ye Tianchen thought to himself and quickly used Qi Manipulation Flight to reach the other three peaks. He pulled out a chain from under the ’Suppression’ symbol of each of the other three peaks. These four chains extended from the mountaintops down to the foot of the mountains, disappearing from sight.

”Could there be something suppressed under this abyss?” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but speculate aloud.

After considering for a while, Ye Tianchen thought that to uncover the mystery here, to understand why Zhongnan Mountain had remained undeveloped and the four peaks kept in their original state over the years, he must reach the bottom of this abyss!

At this moment, Ye Tianchen stood atop one of the peaks and glanced below. Darkness covered the depths, seemingly bottomless. He used his powerful Divine Thought to explore, yet still perceived nothing but darkness, leaving Ye Tianchen confused and astonished. What kind of force lay beneath this abyss to be so inscrutable?

”Let me see what lies below...” Ye Tianchen thought, feeling lost in balance, and suddenly plummeted from the mountaintop, descending continuously. He allowed the force of his fall to drift him downward!

Boom!

Crack!

Suddenly, the power of thunder and lightning and Gang Wind powers struck with much greater force than before, causing Ye Tianchen to frown. Could it be that the abyss hid some unknown, earth-shattering secrets, which some would wish others not to discover?

Buzz!

Ye Tianchen no longer sat idly by. He summoned the Taie Sword with his right hand and continuously swung Sword Qi to disperse these powers of thunder and the Gang Wind. Not knowing what might exist beneath the abyss, Ye Tianchen felt unsure himself. Though he was confident, he was not arrogant. Earth was full of too many mysteries and unknowns, perhaps even things he couldn’t begin to imagine were present!

Centered around ”Taiyi Mountain,” the surrounding four peaks not only had suppression talismans but also chains filled with Divine Runes. These four chains pointed in only one direction, underneath the abyss. So, what was suppressed beneath the abyss?

As he continued descending, Ye Tianchen felt the powers combined from thunder and gang winds growing stronger against his slashing force, proving his speculation—indeed, someone had arranged such a setup, fearing that someday someone might discover this place, or even reach the bottom of the abyss!

”Such powerful forces of thunder and gang wind, the fallen secular mortals must have died half-way in the air, with spirits annihilated!” Ye Tianchen examined the darkness surrounding him, contemplating to himself.

More and more energies from thunder and gang winds mixed and attacked Ye Tianchen. Without a doubt, such force was truly mighty, leaving even Ye Tianchen astounded. Finding such a powerful place in Earth’s Mortal World was no easy feat. Unfortunately for now, he hoped these forces would weaken rather than strengthen!

Boom!

Ye Tianchen erupted his physical body power. He knew that if he continued to sit idle, there would truly be no way out, and he had yet to reach the abyss’s lower section—not something that could be delayed. The faster, the better. Therefore, without hesitation, he released his physical body power, shattering the surrounding thunder and gang wind forces!

Bang!

Bang!

Boom!

Ye Tianchen used the method of sinking Qi into the Dantian to let himself fall quickly. To his surprise, this abyss seemed to be bottomless, an unfathomable depth. It was truly strange that such a profoundly unexplorable place could appear in the mortal world of Earth.

”Oh my, who knows how deep this abyss is? Could it be leading to the very center of this planet?” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but think to himself.

With a mid-stage Martial Saint cultivation realm, and in this mortal world, Ye Tianchen was almost invincible, yet he wasn’t careless. The more he knew, the more he felt something was off. Earth is an unfathomable place, full of too many impossibilities, too many secrets. If possible, he wanted to understand what kind of existence Earth truly was.

A streak of golden light rushed toward the bottom of the abyss. Ye Tianchen’s speed was fast, but after charging ahead for a long distance, he still hadn’t reached the bottom, didn’t even feel anything at all. Everything around remained pitch black, as if he had fallen into an endless, boundless void of darkness, making even him shiver involuntarily. What kind of place was this?

”Huh? There’s light!”

Ye Tianchen suddenly noticed that two points of light appeared ahead of him. That should be the very bottom of the abyss, which meant he was getting close. But just at that moment, Ye Tianchen felt a powerful force approaching!

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a black chain rushed toward Ye Tianchen, with an overwhelming momentum as if to bind him. Ye Tianchen was startled by this. Wasn’t this black chain the same as the one under the ”Suppress” character of the four peaks? Why did it suddenly attack him?

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Before Ye Tianchen could react, three more black chains rushed forward to attack. Originally suppressing at the tops of the four peaks, these black chains unexpectedly attacked him out of the blue. Ye Tianchen truly hadn’t anticipated this and didn’t understand why.

But Ye Tianchen couldn’t afford to hesitate. In that instant, he was already heavily surrounded by four black chains filled with divine runes. These four black chains transformed into Vajra Locks, encircling Ye Tianchen completely airtight!

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

Ye Tianchen reacted quickly, immediately swinging out four strikes of Sword Qi to slash toward those four black chains. However, it only resulted in metallic crashing sounds without severing them. This left Ye Tianchen genuinely astonished. What was the origin of these four black chains that were so indestructible? It must be noted that the Taie Sword in Ye Tianchen’s hand was a Power Sword with tremendous strength, capable of crushing even a mountain, let alone these not-so-large four black chains.

”Such powerful divine rune chains, they must have an extraordinary origin!” Ye Tianchen thought to himself while continuously maneuvering his body. He certainly wouldn’t let these four black chains bind him!

Swish!

Transforming into a streak of golden light, Ye Tianchen executed the Divine Movement Skill to its peak, dashing downward instantly. However, he was shocked when he turned around to look back. The four black chains had already surrounded him completely. The next moment, turning forward, he realized he was also surrounded, thus being forcefully trapped!

At this time, beneath the abyss centered around ”Taiyi Mountain” with four other peaks supplementing it, a gigantic black iron ball hovered in mid-air. This iron ball was formed by the four chains that started at the tops of the four peaks and extended downward into the abyss. They were attacking Ye Tianchen and were so powerful that they managed to bind him—runes manifested on the chains, enveloping Ye Tianchen within, leaving the situation uncertain.

Buzz! Buzz!

Suddenly, the two points of light at the very bottom of the abyss flickered momentarily, resembling human eyes watching the situation above, seemingly wanting to know what would happen to Ye Tianchen. Would he be utterly destroyed, or would he never be able to move again?

Bangdong!

With a loud bang, a human figure in golden light suddenly charged out, wielding a Divine Sword, not caring about the black chains bursting behind him. At that moment, he sprinted toward the very bottom of the abyss at the fastest speed... (To be continued.
