Wang Yu
Chapter 582 A Desperate Gamble
He lightly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and turned his gaze towards the incomparably dark abyss below.
Since the baleful aura above had been almost completely absorbed by Wang Yu, the speed at which the baleful aura below dissipated upwards had obviously accelerated. However, looking downwards, it was still bottomless, and it was unknown just how deep this pit was.
While pondering, Wang Yu took out a pill, swallowed it, and closed his eyes to adjust his breathing for a while. Then, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his figure shot downwards rapidly, instantly disappearing into the rolling baleful aura below.
As he expected, the further down he went, the denser and more viscous the baleful aura became.
Wang Yu had only plunged another fifty or sixty miles, and he felt that the oncoming yin wind and baleful aura were already several times stronger than where he had previously stayed. All sorts of illusions of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and ferocious alien beasts, began to reappear.
However, since his Refining God Art had already reached the fourth level, his tolerance for such illusions had also improved. He did not stop and continued to dive downwards against the baleful aura and yin wind.
After plunging another thirty miles, the surrounding yin wind lessened again, but the condensed baleful aura around him became even thicker.
Wang Yu felt as if he was walking through snow, making it difficult to move an inch.
Just at this moment, an unexpected change occurred!
In the void in front of him, specks of green light emerged and quickly coalesced.
Before long, the green giant rat illusion that had appeared before reappeared. Its body was several times larger than before, and its entire body seemed to have been splashed with boiling oil. Its skin and flesh were covered with scorched and festering wounds, and the fur on its cheeks was completely gone. Its two huge eyeballs seemed to be hanging in bloody sockets, swaying and seemingly ready to fall out at any moment.
A shrill screech rang out, and the giant rat's figure swayed as it charged towards Wang Yu.
Accompanied by it was an indescribable bloody smell. When Wang Yu smelled it, he felt as if a ten-thousand-foot-high wave of blood was crashing down on him, about to engulf him.
However, Wang Yu, who had been prepared for this, was not moved at all. He silently recited the incantation of the Refining God Art and let out a thunderous roar.
A powerful divine sense force instantly swept through his consciousness, like a summer rainstorm, washing his mind clean.
The giant rat illusion that had charged in front of him also shattered and disappeared with a bang.
Wang Yu simply steadied himself slightly and continued to descend.
He knew in his heart that the more concentrated and pure the baleful aura he absorbed, the greater the help it would be to him in impacting the Immortal Apertures, and the faster his cultivation would improve.
After all, he had less and less time left, and he had to seize the time and improve his strength as much as possible. Every bit of strength he improved would give him a better chance of surviving.
However, he had to stop again after descending only a few hundred feet.
This time, what blocked him was not an illusion, but the baleful aura that had become extremely dense.
At this moment, the baleful aura condensed below him was almost no longer in a mist state, and it no longer flowed at all. It looked like a black wall cast from ink.
Wang Yu could clearly feel that the baleful aura inside this "wall" was different from the baleful aura surrounding him, but he could not say how.
After hesitating for a moment, Wang Yu still bent down and tried to put a palm into the wall.
As a result, as soon as his palm entered the wall, a sharp, bone-chilling pain immediately came from his wrist and palm. Strands of extremely frantic baleful aura, like living things, condensed into sharp thorns and actively burrowed into his skin.
Wang Yu shuddered violently and immediately retracted his palm, wanting to pull his arm out of the "wall." However, an equally powerful force entangled his palm, preventing him from pulling it out.
A blue light shone in his eyes, and he realized that what was pulling his arm was the dense baleful aura that had pierced into his hand like needles.
They intertwined and almost completely enveloped Wang Yu's entire palm.
Wang Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and a "chi la" sound rang out in his palm as a golden lightning bolt suddenly exploded.
The black silk threads condensed from baleful aura were stimulated by the Evil-warding Divine Lightning and immediately retreated from his palm and wrist, but they still surrounded him and refused to completely retreat.
Wang Yu took the opportunity to pull his hand out and glanced at it, taking a cold breath.
His palm was covered with a dense mass of small red dots, which were actually small holes as thin as hair, and they had been penetrated by the baleful aura. Moreover, wisps of black air faintly lingered in these small holes.
With a "crack" sound, a golden light reappeared on the surface of his palm and disappeared in a flash, but the baleful aura in the small holes had disappeared, and the small holes quickly closed and disappeared.
Wang Yu exhaled lightly and smiled bitterly in his heart.
Fortunately, he had withdrawn in time, otherwise, this palm would probably have been completely ruined in a short while.
"Sure enough, the further down I go, the more aggressive these baleful auras become. I'm afraid that by then, they will burrow into my body on their own without me guiding them. At that time, it may not be so easy to control them to impact the acupoints..." Wang Yu's eyes flickered as he pondered.
He looked at the black fog wall below him, a hint of hesitation appearing on his face.
It was true that once the baleful aura inside the fog wall invaded his body, it would inevitably be like a violent storm, and the risk was extremely high. If he was not careful, he might end up with his soul scattered. However, if he could control it, the efficiency of impacting the acupoints would definitely be increased several times.
After a moment, the light in Wang Yu's eyes brightened slightly, and he made up his mind.
Since he had already gambled on these twenty years, then why not add another bet to this gamble?
After all, he didn't have much choice now.
With a slight movement in his heart, his figure flashed and rushed straight into the black wall.
As soon as he entered the wall, Wang Yu immediately felt his consciousness sink, as if a thousand pounds of boulders were pressing on him. Sharp buzzing sounds echoed in his mind, as if his five senses were blocked, and he could hardly feel the various abnormalities around him.
Outside his body, ink-like baleful aura wrapped around him, turning into countless sharp baleful aura threads that pierced into his skin, deep to the bone.
The pain in his consciousness and body came at the same time, and Wang Yu felt as if he had been hit by a giant peak of pain. His whole body trembled, and his divine sense was a little scattered.
He forced himself to take a breath, gritted his teeth, and used the last bit of clarity in his divine sense to activate the Refining God Art.
The fourth level of Refining God Art, which had already been completed, was naturally extraordinarily powerful.
Wang Yu immediately felt a hurricane sweep through his mind, and the sharp sound in his consciousness disappeared immediately, and his divine sense returned to normal.
As soon as his divine sense recovered, he immediately urged his divine sense power to guard his mind, and at the same time urged the Black Fiend Spirit Convergence Art, guiding the majestic baleful aura pouring into his body towards his sixty-third acupoint.
However, as soon as he activated it, Wang Yu's expression changed.
He was shocked to find that after he had guided the surging baleful aura with the baleful aura cultivation technique, in addition to a part of it surging towards that acupoint, the rest was still like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, rushing towards various parts of his body uncontrollably.
"Crack..."
Rings of sounds like popping beans sounded around Wang Yu's body, and bulges rose on the skin of his body.
His figure also changed, and his whole body swelled and became larger, looking as if he was about to be burst by the baleful aura.
Wang Yu was shocked, but he did not lose his composure. He changed his hand seals repeatedly, trying to control the baleful aura that was constantly pouring into his body, but his body was like a dam with an opened gate, unable to stop the torrent of baleful aura from pouring in.
Seeing that his skin was filled with baleful aura and swelled like a balloon, as if it was about to burst, a small vortex formed on his shoulder, attracting another part of the baleful aura.
This vortex was actually another Immortal Aperture of Wang Yu's. In the case of excessive baleful aura, it was opened at the same time, welcoming the impact of the baleful aura together with the sixty-third Immortal Aperture.
Wang Yu gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain coming from all over his body, and kept his mind tense to the extreme, fully urging the Black Fiend Spirit Convergence Art, guiding the baleful aura pouring into his body and constantly impacting the two Immortal Apertures.
…
In the deep abyss, time was unknown. In a flash, more than ten years had passed.
On the cliff near the exit of the abyss, Jin Tong sat cross-legged on the ground, holding the Yuan in his hands, actually practicing in meditation.
Not far from her, the White Jade Pixiu rested its two front paws on its chin, lying on the ground with its eyelids drooping, seeming to be half asleep.
At this time, a gust of wind rose, and a golden light flew from above and landed on the cliff.
The White Jade Pixiu glanced at it and saw that it was Xie Daoren returning from checking the formation. It lazily drooped its eyelids again, while Jin Tong did not open her eyes from beginning to end.
Just then, there was a sound of "rumbling" from the bottom of the abyss, as if the Thunder God was drumming.
Immediately afterwards, rolling baleful aura rose from the bottom of the abyss like morning mist in the mountains, spreading to the top of the cliff.
Only then did Jin Tong suddenly open her eyes and jump up from the ground, jumping to the edge of the cliff, looking nervously towards the bottom of the abyss.
Xiao Bai also got up from the ground, trotted to her side, and said, "Boss, this movement, could it be that the master is going to..."
"Uncle..." Jin Tong seemed to have not heard Xiao Bai's words, her expression was extremely complicated, and she murmured to herself.
Her tone was mixed with a bit of anticipation, a bit of worry, and a bit of excitement and trepidation.
