As we began our descent into the Abyss of this Yunjian Peak, I took the lead, only to be halted by a fucking boy who abruptly stepped in front of me.
A young man who appeared older than his years, his face devoid of wrinkles despite his status as an expert in the Golden Core Acquired realm.
Though I was curious about his seemingly Age more but wrinkle-less appearance, I refrained from questioning him, maintaining my composure.
He directed the others to form a protective Front wall in front and behind Hui and me, a move that caught me off guard. I glanced at Hui for some sign of acknowledgment, but she didn't even spare me a glance.
Oddly, the strange vibe I always sensed from her seemed to intensify.
*I can smell honey.*
*Should I try holding his hand... But I haven't taken the Pills to calm my mind. I'd collapse instantly.*
I ain't gonna deny that I am mesmerized by her beauty.
This will make things slightly difficult.
Suddenly she noticed me.
Her sudden notice of me caught me off guard.
She shoots me a flustered look, winks, and places a finger on her lips, playfully signaling me not to ask any questions.
The boy asked for Hui's permission and started walking inside the Abyss.
The others followed behind him and some behind us to safeguard our security.
I understand that the survival rate of coming alive is 20 % but their worries are too much (abyss is a Shadow cast of a Small World on Elemental World so it's actually dangerous and unexpected).
Well, their entire family will be torn apart bone by bone if anything happens to the City Lord, the De-facto ruler of Gandhara Jianghu, and fiancée to Hier to Heavenly Martial Hall.
*I love him I love him I love him I love him I love him*
As I gently grasp Hui's hand, fall into step beside her, and start walking along with others I'm taken aback by her unexpected reaction.
*Ahhhhhhhhhhh*
What's wrong with her? She got nervous and blushed with just holding hands.
We've already kissed.
Despite our previous intimacy, her response to this simple gesture is surprising.
Her cheeks flush with a deep crimson hue, and she becomes visibly flustered, fidgeting with her hands and feet in a display of nervous energy. It's a side of her I hadn't seen before, one that reveals a vulnerability beneath her confident exterior.
At that moment, I can't help but find her utterly adorable, her innocence and vulnerability endearing.
She is a cutie and surprisingly It appears she is weak to these sorts of things.
Disciple 1: *What a lovely dovey atmosphere*
Disciple 2: *Thank heavens that they are here all or I would have pissed myself*
In an instant, we transport somewhere, bumping into somewhere then getting thrown here and there in the Timeless place.
The sky falls onto us and then turns azure blue and instantly disappears.
White Cloud touched the disciples and no surprise there.
White clouds turned into Philosophical conceptual weapons upon touching them.
These Dumbass protecting us gladly became a sacrificial Goat but still survived which ruined the mood.
After Jumping from Imaginary orderliness to Complex real orderliness we finally arrive in there.
I kept a close eye on Hui in all this happening so she doesn't try something shady.
"Sister Hui May Adi-Buddha show you the path and My Lord May Allah-Kabeer peace and blessing be upon you," one of the disciples speaks up, breaking the eerie silence that envelops us. "We seemed to have entered a strange and shady Island Universe surrounded by a Mysterious goo-like green Slime Sea."
The Mob leader(Boy 1) of these Disciples says.
Disciple 2 : *Mommy I'm scared.*
Disciple 3: *I'm a vagina that I came here.*
Whether the abyss brought on the fear in them or their consciousness brought fear they did not know.
The Island universe loomed menacingly in the universal horror, but despite the menacing atmosphere, Hui, the old boy, and I remained unfazed.
Other ears had grown intolerably sensitive to preternatural levels.
We didn't even have the time to compose and look around the abyss as the darkness filled the sky, green darkness but it was not just the physical darkness that surrounded us; it was the darkness of the mind, the kind that gnaws at your sanity and twists your thoughts into grotesque shapes. Shadows danced and flickered at the edges of my vision, and I couldn't shake the feeling that we were being watched by unseen eyes, their gaze cold and unrelenting.
The corrupting mist aged everything to endless and started recycling the world.
I employed the Formation to break the bond of endless and observed the layer of faint Darkness Destiny-texture condensed in front of me, and then I saw the sound wave collide with this layer of Destiny-texture, and an impact visible to the naked eye was constantly sweeping away, and the world was in a mess.
Soon disgusting creatures emerge from the ground, their forms grotesque and decayed as the landscape shifted around us, the sky collapsing and reforming in a display of chaos.
The creatures resembled a grotesque fusion of rat and lion, their bodies rotting and emitting a putrid smell that permeated the air like a virus, consuming everything it touched in the universal darkness.
Their forms constantly fluctuated, expanding and contracting like glitching holograms, adding to the eerie and unsettling atmosphere of the abyss. With each movement, they seemed to melt the very fabric of reality around them.
At that moment, I realized we had entered a realm beyond comprehension, where madness reigned supreme, and the laws of Logical orderliness held no sway but surely Hui had possibly seen things like this often since she didn't even try blocking her nose but mine.
Her voice trembles with regret as she speaks, the weight of responsibility heavy in her words. "Are you alright, honey?" she asks, concern etched into every syllable. "I'm sorry. It's all my fault for not stopping you from coming here, for the sake of my selfishness." Her voice hitches with emotion. "I'll protect you."
I offer her a reassuring smile, trying to alleviate her guilt. "Don't worry, it's no big deal," I assure her, though the putrid stench that fills the air begs to differ.
"How is it no big deal?" she insists, her concern evident in her furrowed brow "You shouldn't have to breathe in stench such as here."
"Roar!"
Before I could respond, a deafening roar echoed through the darkness, signaling the approach of danger aka creatures.
The roar sounded again, and then all the disgusting fucks rushed towards us, only to meet front disciples.
I could sense that at most these Rat lion fucks are minions of some greater mob boss despite the so-called fear-inducing aura.
As the disciples halted their advance, Hui stepped forward, her form bathed in an ethereal glow as Hui began condensing the Dao of the Sword.
With each incantation and gesture of arcane power, the very laws of nature trembled, yielding to the inexorable will of the Dao. The Dao of the Sword shattered existing laws and replaced them.
The sword of the Dao ignited with a radiant divine light as it descended upon the loathsome gaze of the foul creatures.
I watched as the sword of the Dao swiftly cut through the creatures with a decisive strike.
"Puff!"
With a swift motion, the Sword of Dao sliced through the bodies of the creatures in a single stroke, cleaving them in half before crashing down.
I suppress the urge to smile as I witness each stroke tearing through flesh and bone with a sickening crunch, recognizing the dire need for a tactical advantage in this otherworldly battleground, I start focusing my will on making formations to create spacetime in a world filled with madness and entropy.
