Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 313 The Situation of the Abyss of Purgatory

"I know that the death rate for typical extreme missions in the company is 90%, but the number one [Purgatory Abyss] has a death rate of 99%."

Therefore, generation after generation of geniuses, very few dare to take the plunge.

Bai Yang had investigated this mission before; after all, it was just a mission with a reward of 100 million points, and no one would ignore it.

Even a poorer, titled immortal would have roughly this much wealth.

"Virtual Universe Company has really high standards; they dare to open such a dangerous place to a cosmic level."

I once entered the realm at the level of a realm lord, thanks to the arrangement of a senior. It was still a nerve-wracking experience.

"Thinking about it, this happened a very, very long time ago."

Luo's face was filled with reminiscence as he spoke slowly.

"What's it like there? Why is it so dangerous? You're not company employees, why would you go there?"

Bai Yang was genuinely curious, as the entire mission was somewhat vague.

"I can't explain it. That place is too big. I only stayed there for two years and didn't actually travel to many places."

After obtaining the tentacle, he immediately withdrew, but was still mentally corrupted.

Bai Yang, do you know about the Prison Clan?

"I know. Like us humans, they are one of the six supreme races."

"That's right. In terms of location, the Prison Clan is one of the two most powerful races that are furthest from our territory."

Their race is very strange; it seems that any life that comes from that place called "Prison" can be considered a member of the Prison race.

Under normal circumstances, humans cannot come into contact with them.

Strangely, the life forms in the [Purgatory Abyss] are very similar to theirs.

Regardless of their form, all members of the Prison Clan possess an indescribable demonic aura.

And this is naturally opposed to our laws of light.

Conversely, such a place is the supreme treasure land for cultivating the laws of light.

At that time, my understanding of the laws of light had stalled, and I was trying to break through that bottleneck.

As soon as I heard about this place, I tried every possible opportunity to go there and carry out a job collecting corpses for someone.

"Collecting corpses for others?" Bai Yang was quite surprised; there was actually such a task.

"Despite the danger, quite a few people still venture here to explore every year."

With a large population, it's inevitable that some people will be of high status.

Their families believed in the necessity of seeing the person alive or dead, which created the need for this kind of mission.

Luo was a little tired from walking, so she took a short rest in a pavilion in the garden.

He took the cup of tea that Bai Yang poured for him, took a sip, and continued:

"The entire [Purgatory Abyss] is 6.6 light-years in diameter and is divided into countless spatial layers."

No one can say for sure how many floors there are inside, but everyone agrees that it's definitely bigger than it appears from the outside.

For two whole years, I only stayed on the first three floors and didn't dare to go any deeper.

Even so, they have already encountered several crises.

Each level of the abyss has a completely different style, scene, and environment, and they are constantly changing.

Those beings resembling the Prison Clan are bizarre in form and fearless in the face of death.

And their strength is terrifying!

Even though the laws of light have a certain restraining effect on them, they are still no match for the overwhelming number of the Prison Clan.

I also have to resist the invisible spiritual erosion of the entire space every day, making life extremely difficult.

To say it's cosmic in scale is really a stretch.

It can be said that every Prison Clan creature you encounter possesses the strength of a high-level Domain Lord.

Weak members of the Hell Clan do exist, but they are likely devoured by the more powerful ones at birth.

Bai Yang compared the descriptions in his mind and thought about it.

The Abyss of Purgatory is even more dangerous than Dragon Tower Star, no wonder the mortality rate is so high.

However, this place is a sacred place for cultivating spiritual will and the laws of light.

If given the chance, he still plans to go and take a look.

"This place is not Dragon Tower Star after all, and it is probably not the hometown of some universe ruler, so the company will not have any concerns when developing it."

Therefore, high-level forces will definitely be kept within a certain range and will not be deliberately made difficult for geniuses.

The real challenge lies in the sheer number of creatures that resemble the Hell Clan.

The company might be trying to simulate a miniature war between top-tier races.

However, he still has a lot of accumulated wealth that he hasn't cashed out yet, so he's not in a hurry to take on a new task immediately.

I just happened to be there today, so I asked a few more questions.

"But if you really want to go, I'll give you that tentacle then."

This thing might be helpful to you in that place.

After a while, Luo spoke again.

"Teacher, I can't accept this!"

Bai Yang quickly refused.

"It's alright. The Abyss of Purgatory is too dangerous. The more trump cards you can add, the better."

This thing is basically useless to me now.

I just need to focus on cultivating the laws of light.

Luo didn't care about Bai Yang's refusal, and instead analyzed the situation with him, continuing:

"If you feel uncomfortable with it, then just consider it a loan from me."

Bai Yang thought about it for a moment, but it was inconvenient to completely refuse his good intentions, so he could only agree for the time being.

These peaceful and stable days passed quickly.

One month later, Bai Yang was working in the laboratory.

Suddenly, Ruyer sent me a message:

"Your Highness, Prince Moro from the Primal Secret Realm has come to visit you."

"Moro?"

Bai Yang wondered, "Who was that treacherous fellow who plotted against Luo Feng at Demon Mountain?"

What is he doing here?

There are only five members left in this cosmic-level Primal Secret Realm.

Besides him and Bolan, the three old men were Fituo, Sima Yan, and Moro.

Among them, Fito passed through the eighth level of the Sky Bridge, while Sima Yan and Moro both passed through the seventh level.

To be honest, with his strength that was almost enough to reach the tenth level, he didn't take these three people seriously at all.

So I never thought about actively getting involved with them.

On the contrary, it was Bolan who had a friendship with Bolan because they were both geniuses from the same generation.

Nowadays, we still chat, get together, and eat and drink from time to time.

"Is this guy planning to ambush people so early on?"

Why didn't he choose anyone else, but instead came to me?

The standard quota for the Primal Secret Realm at the Universe level is 3 people.

Therefore, in each qualifying round, only the top two players can retain their spots.

The remaining three will have to compete with the top three from the Primordial Secret Realm for another spot.

According to the original work, under normal circumstances, Moro should have fallen into the beginning.

He might not even be able to defeat the stronger Berlan, let alone Luo Feng and the werewolf Crovet.

"Even if you're going to do something bad, you shouldn't target me, the strongest one, right?"

Bai Yang remembered that this guy was actually quite smart, which made him even more interested.

"Luye, let him in. I'll go to the reception room in a bit."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Bai Yang didn't get distracted again. He spent a few minutes completing an experiment at hand before slowly walking towards the reception room.

As soon as he entered the manor's reception room, he heard a loud bang.

A young man dressed in golden battle armor seemed to have just sprung up from the sofa, looking at him with an excited and sincere expression.

"Hello, Bai Yang!"

I'm Moro, and I've been looking forward to this day for a long time!
