Afterwards, Ye Yu stayed in this Taoyuan Village.
Half a month later, after Ye Yu's spiritual power had fully recovered, he headed to the mysterious abyss.
This bottomless abyss was long and deep, but only two meters wide.
At this moment, upon seeing Ye Yu, Qiulu asked, "Why are you here?"
"I want to go down and take a look."
Hearing this, Qiulu was shocked: "No way! It's very dangerous down there."
"Oh? Why?"
Qiulu replied apprehensively: "It's said that a long time ago, a dragon fell into our village, and instead of harming the villagers, it approached this place, and forcibly descended underground, causing the ground to split open. So, there might be a terrifying dragon below."
Ye Yu was surprised that such an event had occurred here.
Ye Yu carefully sensed, but felt nothing. If it were a powerful Soul Beast around a hundred thousand years or more, he would sense it.
Ye Yu said: "Don't worry, I must go down there. It's very suitable for my cultivation. You should go back and ask the villagers to prepare food for me. Tell them I want to eat a whole roasted lamb today, with plenty of cumin."
Ye Yu smiled slightly after speaking and jumped down directly.
Qiulu, having no choice, left.
As Ye Yu jumped down, he descended rapidly, the wind howling past his ears.
"It's really deep."
After falling for two minutes, Ye Yu still hadn't seen the bottom, his vision extending ten thousand meters.
After falling for five minutes, Ye Yu saw the end, but it was still ten thousand meters high. When he was a thousand meters from the ground, Ye Yu started using Moon Step to continuously step on the air, slowing his fall. As he descended, Ye Yu used the Origin of Evil, black energy enveloping his body, while the Trunk External Soul Bone covered him.
Boom!!
Ye Yu hit the ground, causing a thunderous crash, creating a deep pit. The massive sound echoed continuously through the abyss.
Ye Yu landed, black energy surged around him. Though it couldn't compare to his Origin of Evil, this black energy contained Evil Power. Cultivating in this environment would speed up his improvement and deepen his mastery over the Origin of Evil.
Ye Yu looked to his left, seeing the end, after walking two thousand meters, there was only a cliff.
Ye Yu then moved towards the right, advancing four thousand meters to the end.
During his walk, Ye Yu sensed where the Evil Power was most concentrated, then sat cross-legged in the middle to start cultivating.
Ye Yu underwent Complete Voidification, releasing the Origin of Evil to the limit he could endure.
Due to the enhancement of his spiritual power, Ye Yu now controlled more of the Origin of Evil, with five black Dragon Scales already on the back of his hand.
Ye Yu set a goal for himself: a year later, he should have mastered enough of the Origin of Evil to half-transform his left arm into a Dragon Arm!
Unknowingly, two years passed.
Ye Yu was at the bottom of the abyss, and the Evil Power around wasn't as thick as it first was, having thinned out considerably.
Two years of cultivation here had been rapid, with Ye Yu's Soul Power rising from level 54 to level 60.
Although Ye Yu had Innate Full Soul Power at level 30, as his strength increased, more of the Soul Power was absorbed by his body instead of adding to his level, otherwise, his level would be higher.
However, this absorption by the body had great benefits, making his combat power more terrifying. Moreover, when his Body Martial Soul fully awakens in the future, it will be even more dreadful. The absorbed Soul Power laid the foundation for the Body Martial Soul.
The majority of Soul Power being absorbed by the body added to Ye Yu's terrifying constitution. Combined with Soul Techniques and the boost from the Origin of Evil, Ye Yu's current combat power was exceedingly terrifying, comparable to a Soul Douluo in the early 80s.
If he encountered the team of seven from before now, he wouldn't need to go berserk to fight them and stand invincible, possibly even annihilating them.
Despite most of the Soul Power being absorbed, leveling up by six levels in a year and a half was already very fast.
For a Soul Master at level 50 and above, gaining two levels a year was already fast, even for super geniuses, leveling up four levels in a year and a half was difficult. After all, the higher they went, the more challenging the cultivation became.
Ye Yu could level up by six levels, partly due to his Innate Full Soul Power at level 30. Though most Soul Power was absorbed, it still advanced faster than Innate Full Soul Power at level 10.
As for him reaching level 60 half a year ago, why hasn't he absorbed the Sixth Soul Ring to become a Soul Emperor? Ye Yu wasn't in a hurry.
One of Master's ten core competencies suggests that when a Soul Master hits a bottleneck, even without absorbing a Soul Ring to advance, the Soul Power will keep accumulating and will manifest after absorbing a Soul Ring. Hence, Ye Yu continued to cultivate here without rushing to obtain a Soul Ring.
Previously, when he hit a bottleneck, he hadn't obtained one for a long time, and once he did, he advanced and even jumped several levels.
After reaching level 40, jumping levels was unlikely, even more so after reaching level 50 and level 60. Ye Yu believed that absorbing a Soul Ring might allow him to jump a level to reach level 62.
Ye Yu glanced at his left arm, which was now larger, resembling the Dragon Arm he had when he went berserk before. His left hand had completely transformed into a fierce Dragon Claw, covered in black Dragon Scales. His robust left arm was half covered in black Dragon Scales. The surrounding Origin of Evil was thicker.
Just as Ye Yu was about to retract the Origin of Evil, a deep voice filled with awe, excitement, and reverence suddenly sounded.
"Lord Black Dragon... is that you?"
"Hmm?"
Ye Yu was taken aback, recognizing the aura… a Soul Beast?
Ye Yu found that this aura was stronger than the Titan Giant Ape and the Hell Demon Dragon, comparable to Zi Ji.
Feeling no malicious intent from the other party, and noting their reverence, Ye Yu approached, remembering what Qiulu had said about the dragon that came here.
Ye Yu arrived in front of a cliff, his Dragon Claw struck it, creating a loud crash and a wide hole.
Peering inside, Ye Yu discovered a gigantic cave.
Upon entering, his expression turned serious.
Before him was a colossal creature.
As Ye Yu proceeded, the massive creature stood up, its body reaching a hundred meters in height.
This creature was akin to a Western dragon, with a broad body, a long neck, and a gigantic tail trailing behind it, its Dragon body covered with gleaming cyan scales reflecting the light.
On its massive head, a hundred meters high, were awe-inspiring Dragon eyes, and as it opened and closed its massive maw, it emitted a deafening sound.
"You are not Lord Black Dragon; who are you? How can you possess the Origin of Evil?"
Though not the Black Dragon, upon seeing Ye Yu's black aura and left arm, it still showed reverence. Indeed, this was the Origin of Evil; this Dragon Arm, these Dragon Scales, were that of the Black Dragon.
Ye Yu was surprised: "You know my father?"
This Cyan Demon Dragon was astonished: "Your father? Is Lord Black Dragon your father?"
Ye Yu nodded: "Yes."
The Cyan Demon Dragon sighed lightly: "No wonder, besides Lord Black Dragon, no one could possibly possess the Origin of Evil. Being Lord Black Dragon's son, naturally, you inherited the Origin of Evil."
