Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 889 Abyss, Path of the Dao

The phrase "undercurrents" is often used to describe a seemingly calm lake surface that is actually turbulent and extremely dangerous.

The moment it crashed into depth 6, the previously unpredictable ocean suddenly erupted in a frenzied roar! It was as if its disguise had been abruptly ripped off, revealing its unspeakable true nature!

Did my arrival anger it?
No, this scene has clearly been going on for quite some time!
The geographical distinction between sky and earth had vanished; everything was upside down, like the beginning of chaos, a primordial chaos. A vast abyss of light, stretching for hundreds or thousands of miles, suddenly burst open, tearing through the heavens.

As Song Shi looked around, he saw one after another such abyss of light embedded on the untouchable edge of the world.

At first glance, some of them appear crimson, some reflect a deep blue, and some are profoundly dark. But if you look closely and delve into the depths of the abyss of light, you can discover that they are simultaneously filled with a multitude of colors, as if they are constantly changing without end.

But "Guangyuan" was just a backdrop; what truly caught people's attention was the storm that resembled the destruction of the world.

A massive, turbid wave swept across, and in the distance, countless things could be vaguely seen rising and falling within its surface: fragments of a broken mind, cognitively dysfunctional memes, proliferating and alienating viral programs, and coagulated emotions brimming with malice.
The sturdy garnet sand and corundum are not feared by humans, and can even withstand high-pressure water torrents.

But if the two are combined, it becomes a high-pressure water jet that can easily cut through metal and destroy objects. With a casual sweep, it can slice through flesh, bones, and even yellowish fat, splattering everywhere.

Boom!

—Then, it abruptly stopped.

A fiery inferno erupted, transforming into an insurmountable barrier that enveloped Song Shi and VE.

It wasn't just simple defense; it was more like an attack against an attack! They forcibly burned away a piece of safe land!
"Depth 6"

In the firelight, Song Shi's face was slightly blurred; he tried to achieve oneness with nature, but the effect was very poor.

Generally speaking, environmental resonance requires a certain compatibility. For example, the commander of the Eastern Continent Republic that I killed in my [Infinity of All Things] was Yu Juncai, who was the fourth ring [Great Source] of "Ice".

The enemy's fighting capabilities in the Arctic are clearly stronger than those in the lava-filled mantle layer.

When it comes to the unity of heaven and man, Song Shi is undoubtedly at the top level. However, after a brief attempt, he found the Abyss to be too complex, or rather, "chaotic".

【Dayuan】The path of Taoism has always emphasized imagery. The glaciers of the far north are "vast", "boundless", and "indifferent". The thunderstorms of natural disasters are "swift", "destructive", and "raging". Although there are occasional exceptions to the imagery, they are all still within the calculable range.

However, the Abyss is different.

Billions of pieces of information flow, trillions of emotions are confused, countless people are immersed in the internet, every minute and every second a massive amount of information is shattered and regenerated, redundant spiritual energy is mobilized again and again, fermenting and settling in the bizarre and colorful virtual world.

Following this, the Abyss descended into its current state of chaos.

It's like a ball of yarn tangled a million times, with countless variations, unimaginably complex, and utterly impossible to deal with. Even someone of Song Shi's caliber, a [Great Source], would find it quite perplexing.

Boom.

A tremendous impact suddenly hit!

As thoughts raced through his mind, millions of turbid waves continued to surge, terrifying gales howled, and the world was turned upside down, their movements unpredictable and without order. Song Shi even had the illusion that a giant had reached into the ocean called the Abyss, violently stirring it up and preventing it from finding peace!
Anything caught in it will be toppled and turned to dust, or even completely smashed!
Even a Deep Abyss Lord at Depth 5 wouldn't be able to withstand this level of intensity for long, right?
“VE.” Song Shi narrowed his eyes: “Depth 6, is it that difficult?”

"Haha."

VE grinded his teeth and laughed.

"What do you think?"

The answer is self-evident. "—Archibold's backup plan."

Song Shi looked at the storm: "This 'world' is also a visionary, afraid that you will take advantage of his absence to turn his lair upside down."

"No wonder even you couldn't get down."

Song Shi slowly pulled out the heavy weapon.

"This is the outer layer, right?"

A typhoon, as a tropical cyclone, has a diameter of about two or three hundred kilometers, but the range of influence it can reach thousands of kilometers. The strong winds felt by people in the city may just be a tiny ripple in the former.

Before us lies this devastating "storm".
It's the same as ripples.

—Originating from the depths of Depth 7, it has caused ripples in Depth 6!
The sixth ring, "Transcendence," is one of the Thrones of the Gods.

Before leaving, Archibald personally set up a barrier for "The World," using the chaos of the Abyss to create an unprecedented storm circulation, like the spiral cloud bands and cloud wall areas of a typhoon, isolating the eye of the storm at its center—Depth 7.

Even far from Terra, it will still, as always, occupy all the possibilities at the bottom of the abyss alone!
Song Shidu couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

He had to confess to one thing: that he couldn't do it.

I'm quite familiar with wide-area operations; they're easy to use, I love using them, I can use them, and I dare to use them. If I go all out, I dare to boil the seabed, burn mountains, and even burn an entire country from north to south and from west to east.

But even so.

Faced with this "world" figure who single-handedly stirred up the world, turning Depth 6 into a tool for riots and subversion, I still can't even begin to compare.

Is the difference between the fifth ring, [True Spirit], and the sixth ring, [Divine Throne], really this great?
Song Shi denied it in his heart. He had a vague premonition that if he attained the True Spirit "Hongyuan Tianchi", he should be able to make further progress. Even if he could not completely match him, he would at least be able to look up to him.

"Were you not present during the battle between Dwight and Ruan Fana?" Song Shi suddenly asked.

“Yes, but I didn’t go to the center.” VE shook his head, his eyes still showing apprehension: “I was seen from a distance by a satellite, so it’s not suitable for me to act in my real body.”

Of the four Abyss Kings of the Enterprise Alliance, "The Wizard King" Ogden Christopher was always unpredictable and constantly on the run, while "Nightmare" VE was confined to a city, designated as his private domain for his own amusement.

In terms of sheer power and prestige, it's even more impressive than the "Wizard King."

But this is only the surface. For 99% of hackers, having their physical IP address and activity range locked means they've been utterly defeated. The reality is that VE was caught out during an event, and a giant corporation cornered her, forcing her into that city.

Rather than saying VE is confined in the city, it's more accurate to say that the company has confined VE!

"You heard what Dwight said before he was killed." Song Shi tapped his index finger, and a burst of fire shattered the massive, half-concrete castle-like fragment that had been smashed into the ground. "What do you think of the 'Abyss' path?"

VE did not answer.

Song Shi also cut off his words.

It surged with the tsunami, like a lighthouse suddenly illuminating in a storm, piercing through all obstacles, an intense aura that could not be ignored.

The King of the Abyss.

—There is more than one Abyss King!
