Chapter 1462: The Abyssal Devourer and the Truth Beyond the Gate (Part 1) Chapter 1462: The Abyssal Devourer and the Truth Beyond the Gate (Part 1) Editor: Henyee Translations Within the depths of the Immortal Bug Valley, beyond the mysterious Sky-reaching Gate, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan found themselves in a narrow, desolate cavern.
Here, the unsettling sight of innumerable insect beast remains piled high in a swamp greeted them.
Even though the two had mentally prepared for the valley's ominous secrets, the sheer scale and grimness of this scene momentarily stunned them.
In front of them lay heaps of bones, grotesquely shaped and ranging in size from small to unimaginably massive.
Some skeletons, despite their decay, still shimmered faintly with an otherworldly glow in their marrow, hinting at their former glory as pinnacle beings of the demonic path.
This swamp wasn't just a resting place for lowly creaturesaEUR”it was the graveyard of formidable insect beasts, many of whom had likely reached the heights of True Immortal cultivation or beyond.
“Zhi zhiaEUR ” The Golden Cicada Immortal perched on Jiang Chengxuan's shoulder shivered visibly, its chirps trembling with fear.
It could sense the lingering aura of True Immortal-level insect beasts among the remains, and the sheer malevolence of this place filled it with dread.
“What could have happened here to leave such devastation?” Shen Ruyan murmured, her voice heavy with unease as her gaze scanned the scene.
Without answering, Jiang Chengxuan raised two fingers and directed a pulse of ethereal white light toward the swamp.
The light danced in the air before plunging into the murky depths.
The glow rippled outward, illuminating the swamp's hidden recesses and painting a vivid picture in Jiang Chengxuan's mind.
“It runs deepaEUR”deeper than it appears on the surface.
The number of remains buried below far exceeds what we see.
No signs of life remain,” Jiang Chengxuan stated solemnly, his eyes narrowing.
Beneath the swamp, his divine sense had revealed a chaotic landscape stretching thousands of feet deep, densely packed with bones that filled every crevice.
More unsettling was the strange absorption phenomenon: the swamp appeared to be drawing power from the remnants, siphoning their lingering energy and essence.
“Boom!” Before they could investigate further, a deafening rumble erupted, shaking the entire cavern.
The walls trembled violently, and cracks spread like lightning across the rocky surfaces.
From every direction, a colossal force surged forward, oppressive and overwhelming.
Its sheer magnitude matched the might of an Earth Immortal, engulfing the entire space with its malevolent presence.
“Something's wrong.
Head up!” Jiang Chengxuan barked, immediately releasing his celestial energy to stabilize the crumbling surroundings.
With no time to waste, the pair transformed into streaks of light, surging upward toward the upper reaches of the cavern.
As they ascended, the environment grew increasingly hostile.
Rocks collapsed, and massive stone walls materialized in their path, attempting to seal their escape.
Jiang Chengxuan didn't falter, his body smashing through the obstacles like a blazing meteor, leaving shockwaves in his wake.
“Look!” Shen Ruyan exclaimed as a faint blue glow appeared ahead, growing brighter with every passing second.
The source of the light came into view: a radiant fissure shimmering with ethereal luminescence, like a doorway to salvation.
But just as hope emerged, a forest of bone spikes sprouted from the fissure's edges, radiating a cold, metallic luster and completely blocking their path.
“Primordial Flame, ignite!” Jiang Chengxuan roared, summoning a torrent of brilliant red flames that roared to life in his hands.
The fiery torrent surged forward, crashing against the bone spikes and reducing them to ash.
“Primordial Wind, rise!” Shen Ruyan followed seamlessly, her hand weaving currents of dazzling wind.
The wind merged with Jiang Chengxuan's fire, fanning its flames to greater heights and amplifying its destructive power.
The combined onslaught tore through the bone spikes with devastating force, obliterating the barrier in mere moments.
“Roar!” From the depths of the cavern, an enraged, guttural roar echoed, shaking the air.
Fragments of shattered bone, still aflame, rained down around Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan as they nimbly maneuvered through the chaos.
With a final push, they broke through the fissure into a new realm.
A World Beyond.
Emerging from the fissure, the pair felt as though they had passed through a thin veil, stepping into a breathtakingly surreal world.
The first thing they saw was a colossal moon, its size dwarfing anything they had ever encountered.
The moon seemed to rest just above the ground, its radiant glow saturating the environment in a serene, ghostly blue light.
Its sheer scale was incomprehensible, dominating more than half of the visible horizon.
This eerie moon cast an overwhelming stillness over the land, a chilling silence that sent shivers down their spines.
