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

Chapter 319 City of the Abyss

"You must be careful, those prison tribes are really terrifying."

I only encountered a few in the prison battlefield, and I was almost seriously injured.

They are utterly irrational madmen, even more insane than ferocious beasts.

On the screen, Ai Chen's face was slightly pale as she looked at Bai Yang with concern.

"Honey, you're fine. Don't worry."

I'll let you know I'm safe once I've settled in.

Seeing the worry etched on Ai Chen's face, Bai Yang offered a few words of comfort before hanging up.

Just then, the entire spaceship shuddered slightly and passed through the top of the black egg.

Bai Yang put down the smart computer and looked outside.

Surrounded by dark air currents, the sword-shaped spaceship had already entered the first layer of atmosphere in the abyss of purgatory.

The entire Purgatory Abyss is 6.6 light-years in diameter, although it is unclear how many layers it has.

But the height of just the first floor is astonishing.

He roughly estimated that this place was probably even higher than the eighteenth cloud layer of the Blood Luo Continent.

If placed on Earth, the Moon's orbit would practically be glued to the ground.

Upon entering the first layer of gravity, the spaceship began to decelerate, taking more than forty minutes to come to a stop on the ground.

During this process, Bai Yang could see strange creatures flying around in the black air currents in the sky from time to time.

It's clear that even in the air, this place is far from safe.

"Your Highness Baiyang, we have arrived at Abyss City."

This is the only stronghold of the five major powers in the Abyss of Purgatory.

After you enter the city, please go to the company branch to collect the necessary items.

If you need to return to Wuchen Continent, you will also need to return there yourself and apply for a return spaceship.

After the spacecraft came to a stop, a beautiful flight attendant gave him a final introduction.

Bai Yang nodded his thanks and stepped out of the spaceship, ready to take a look at this abyss city.

He was currently in a spaceport outside Abyss City.

The ground was covered with a white material similar to cement, as simple as a creation from the Great Rebirth of Earth.

But the entire airport gave off a vibrant feeling, with spaceships taking off and landing all around him.

"The vast majority of these spacecraft do not have the ability to travel in space; they are probably all used for internal navigation."

The gravity here is seven hundred times that of Earth, and the air is primarily composed of oxygen.

Bai Yang nodded secretly, indicating to Xing Shou that he understood.

This place was far more lively than he had imagined, and those like himself, who were participants in the trials of the five major forces, were probably truly rare individuals.

Instead of wearing his usual white clothes, he dressed himself up as a burly man, three meters tall, with a thick beard.

After advancing to the ninth level of the Domain Lord, the Ancient Dragon Vine transformed into a brass-colored armor, which was then placed on his body.

He then activated "Shadow Rift" again, concealing his soul's aura.

Anyone at first glance would think that Bai Yang was an ordinary ninth-level domain lord.

He followed the crowd at the spaceport toward the massive black city in the distance.

Walking and looking around along the way is a normal reaction for someone who has just arrived here.

Abyss City is a bizarre and three-dimensional city carved out of a certain black mountain range.

Except for the area at the top of the mountain, all the buildings are cleverly integrated with the original mountain structure.

The walls, forged from black rock, blend seamlessly with the black mountain itself.

If it weren't for the brightly lit neon signs everywhere, indicating that this is a building for a certain purpose.

From the outside, it would be difficult for the average person to tell exactly where this place is.

Bai Yang looked up at the sky, which was extremely dark.

Above them, however, was a strange black sun, radiating extremely faint light.

If it weren't for these neon lights in the city, it would probably be pitch black.

"What a strange place."

It's understandable that domain lords and realm lords can wander around here at the city gate.

How can there be planetary-level beings? How did they get here?

Many of these planetary-level individuals were dressed in rags and appeared to be very poor.

They stood by the city gate, looking expectantly at the people coming and going around them.

"My lord! Is this your first time visiting Abyss City?"

Do you need a guide?

Let me do it! I was born here, so I know this place well.

Just one Black Stone Coin a day will absolutely satisfy you!

As soon as Bai Yang entered the city gate, he heard a clear voice beside him.

A boy who looked about twelve or thirteen years old, barefoot, looked at him with great hope.

Despite being a planetary-level creature, it had a pale, sickly appearance and thin limbs, clearly indicating malnutrition.

He used his mental powers and the superhuman perception derived from the monster to scan him.

The child hadn't eaten for several days, and although he was starving, his eyes were still very bright.

Bai Yang, seeing that he looked no different from an Earthling, said:

"How much is one Black Stone Coin? What's your name?"

Seeing that there was a chance, the child quickly said:

"My name is Donnie, sir!"

One Blackstone Coin is worth three Cosmic Coins!

"3 Cosmic Coins per day..."

Upon hearing about this wage, Bai Yang suddenly felt somewhat dazed.

How long has it been since he last spent this amount of money?

For a planetary level, such income is quite high in the universe.

But Bai Yang only stood there for a short time before he could make out what was going on in the conversations of the other people around him.

Doni's asking price is definitely cheap; it's just that prices in this city are too high.

"Okay, I'll choose you."

However, I don't have any Black Stone Coins right now, so you'll have to take me to the exchange place first.

"Of course, sir!

Please follow me!

Donnie was thrilled; finally, he wouldn't have to go hungry!

The environment of the Purgatory Abyss is so unique that even planetary-level beings would not be able to endure it without food.

Donnie was a smooth talker, and Bai Yang disguised his appearance, making it impossible to discern his emotions.

On the way, he selectively talked about some common knowledge about Abyss City.

Unless Bai Yang is interested and asks him himself, he will never keep rambling on.

The two walked along the narrow, black stone streets and soon arrived at the halfway point of the mountain.

"Sir, this is a branch of the world's number one bank."

There's a Blackstone Coin exchange window inside; I'll wait for you outside.

Donnie pointed to a white building and said.

Bai Yang looked over and saw that the building was a five-story building that was entirely white, which looked completely out of place in this black city.

"The First Bank of the Universe? Isn't there a Galactic Bank here?"

Bai Yang was slightly taken aback; he didn't have a private account with this bank.

"Yes, but it's very far from here, almost at the restricted area on the mountaintop."

I've never been there...

Donny, who had previously boasted that he knew everything about the place, suddenly began to tremble slightly from his thin frame.

Bai Yang could even sense a feeling of fear emanating from him.

He frowned slightly. What kind of life did this child lead before?

Why are you so afraid of such a small thing?

Is he afraid I'll hit him?

"It's okay, wait for me a moment."

After Bai Yang finished speaking, he walked towards that building.

"Xing Shou, transfer some money from Xingyang Group's corporate account in a bit."
