Chapter 106: Breaking the Barrier
To the south of the Wuchen Kingdom, there stretched a range of desolate mountains, uninhabited and forlorn.
Unbeknownst to mortals, in the midst of these mountains lay several enormous ranges of utter desolation. The peaks were devoid of any vegetation, and no birds or beasts could be seen. The stones and soil were an eerie black, and black smoke continuously emanated from the fissures in the ground, corroding the surrounding forests.
A chill pervaded the area, not only affecting Qin Sang’s body but also seeping into his heart.
Qin Sang arrived by flying through the air and landed his Sky Shuttle. As he gazed at the boundless black mountains, he mused that the name Sunken Cave was misleading—it was even larger than the Yin Malevolent Abyss!
The entrance to the Sunken Cave resembled a crater created by a meteorite impact, with a diameter of several hundred zhang. The dark, gaping mouth faced the sky, and streams of malevolent yin qi surged against the cave’s barrier, trapped inside and moving like fish. The cave’s floor was shrouded in darkness, resembling an entrance to the netherworld.
Fortunately, the Sunken Cave was located deep in the mountains and forests; if it were closer to the neighboring small kingdom, the potential disaster would be unimaginable.
Qin Sang jumped into the cave, immediately feeling a shiver. His expression changed slightly. Though he had the Yang Warming Pill and the Malevolence-Avoiding Pouch—artifacts specifically designed to counter malevolent yin qi—he could still feel the chilling cold of the yin qi in the Sunken Cave.
Descending further into the cave, Qin Sang found that it expanded into a vast abyss, rivaling the Yin Malevolent Abyss. Countless fissures lined the sides of the abyss, stretching like branches into even more distant areas, affecting all living beings within hundreds of miles.
Finding his cave dwelling on the rock walls, Qin Sang entered and activated the barrier, which restored a bit of warmth to his body.
