Purgatory Abyss.
A mysterious place within the Primal Secret Realm, affected by heat and chaos, where space lacks stability and spatial cracks occasionally appear.
In its early days, the Purgatory Abyss was a planet with a diameter of nearly 0.1 light-years!
Later, a great change occurred. The entire planet was torn apart by a sudden disaster, and a huge conical abyss appeared on the planet. Countless planetary fragments spiraled within the abyss, forming continuously moving continents and islands.
The natives of the Purgatory Abyss are rock-type lifeforms, known as Purgatory Beasts.
They feed on the flames within the Purgatory Abyss. Their life forms have undergone significant changes compared to normal rock-type life, gradually transforming towards energy-type life.
Purgatory Beasts are born at the bottom of the abyss. They are Stellar Rank upon birth. Newly born Purgatory Beasts are sent to the outer periphery of the abyss to survive. Only powerful Purgatory Beasts can enter the inner region of the abyss, or even its bottom!
...
Purgatory Abyss Mission!
1. Survive in the inner region of the Purgatory Abyss for three months to earn 50,000 points.
2. Survive in the inner region of the Purgatory Abyss for three years to earn 200,000 points.
3. Collect one thousand tons of nightmare core to earn 500,000 points. (Tip! 99% of members who complete this Cultivation mission complete the first two tasks.)
(Note: The nightmare core is the life of a Purgatory Beasts. Only Domain Master and above Purgatory Beasts will produce nightmare cores. After collecting the nightmare core, you need to go to the fortress guarding the Purgatory Abyss to exchange for a voucher.)
...
A few days later.
A spaceship arrived at Wu Chen Continent and landed on a manor lawn.
Ender was fully armed. He wore dark red battle armor, with Cloud Vine battle armor underneath, and dark red Devil Shadow Claws on his hands.
The overall environment of the Purgatory Abyss is dark red, and such attire is conducive to him hiding his figure, reducing the probability of being discovered.
At the spaceship hatch, four men and women in black respectfully said, "Your Highness Ender."
Ender entered the spaceship, "Let's go."
The guards of the manor respectfully saluted, "Farewell, Your Highness."
...
A few hours later.
Ender's spaceship was sent into a fortress.
At the entrance of the fortress, he looked sideways, and what met his eyes was the dark red Purgatory Abyss, with countless continents and islands suspended and moving.
Even from a distance, he could feel the scorching and chaotic aura in the Purgatory Abyss, and even the Universe energy was affected, becoming chaotic and difficult to absorb.
"Your Highness Ender, this way please."
Led by a World Master, Ender arrived at the core hall of the fortress, and this behavior made him feel strange.
"King Nightmare." The World Master respectfully said, "Your Highness Ender has been brought."
"King Nightmare?!" Hearing this name, Ender felt a bit familiar. He quickly remembered, "Isn't this Seventh Senior Brother's Disciple? What does he want with me?"
Whoosh!
In the spacious palace, there was no one else besides Ender and the World Master who led the way, but the next moment, a figure with his back to them appeared in front of them.
This figure was burly, dressed in dark gold battle armor, exuding a powerful Immortal pressure, and also had a somewhat ethereal feeling like space.
"This is?!"
Ender clearly sensed the spatial fluctuations, and combined with the way King Nightmare appeared, he immediately understood that it was instantaneous movement!
King Nightmare spoke, "You go down first."
"Yes." The World Master respectfully saluted and left.
After the World Master left, King Nightmare turned around, and a brilliant smile appeared on his furry face, "This is our first meeting, Junior Brother."
King Nightmare was a bear-human from a branch of the Human Race, hence his burly physique, over four meters tall, with brown fur all over his body.
"Junior Brother?" Hearing King Nightmare's address, Ender finally understood. He thought, "So it was a misunderstanding. He thought I was Seventh Senior Brother's Disciple, his Junior Brother."
As an Official Disciple of Ice Summit Master, Ender's identity was currently a secret, and such a secret was a protection for him. He naturally didn't want to expose this secret, so he could only pretend to be Seventh Senior Brother's Disciple.
"Greetings, Senior Brother." Ender bowed slightly.
"A Genius who appears once in millions of eras." King Nightmare smiled, "Junior Brother, among all the Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers accepted by Master, you are the one with the highest talent."
"Senior Brother overpraises me." Ender said humbly.
"Junior Brother, you are too humble." King Nightmare smiled and shook his head, "In the history of our Human Race, any Genius who appears once in millions of eras, as long as they don't fall, are at least King-level Immortal, and they are all Limit stage King existences like me."
Ender listened quietly, thinking, "So, King Nightmare is a Limit stage King who is very close to Universe Venerable."
Among Immortals, Immortal King is divided into five levels: Low, High, Pinnacle, Limit, and Invincible.
Among them, Limit stage King is already very close to Universe Venerable, such as Venerable Gu Lun, who presided over the Pinnacle Genius Battle, who was a Limit stage King who had Cultivated for a long time before advancing to Venerable.
As for Invincible King, this level, in addition to Law comprehension, their secret techniques and treasures are also very close to Universe Venerable, and they can escape from elementary Universe Venerable.
Even some Invincible King with Heaven-Defying life Gene Energy can suppress elementary Universe Venerable, and their status is comparable to elementary Universe Venerable!
"Our Virtual Universe Company is divided into two factions. A large part of them believe that Kedi's future achievements will be very high, and there is a good chance he will become a Universe Venerable in the future."
"But there are also many who believe that you will be no weaker than him in the future, or even surpass him!" King Nightmare smiled, "And I belong to the latter."
"Thank you for your high regard, Senior Brother." Ender thanked him.
King Nightmare joked, "I've placed a heavy bet on you, don't disappoint your Senior Brother."
"Junior Brother will do his best to surpass Kedi!" Ender said.
"Having this determination is a good thing." King Nightmare smiled and nodded, "The reason I asked you to come this time, besides getting to know you, is also to remind you."
"Please speak, Senior Brother."
King Nightmare solemnly said, "Purgatory Abyss has World Masters."
"Purgatory Abyss has World Masters? What does that mean?" Ender was a bit confused, "As a Impossible Level mission, it's normal for the Purgatory Abyss to have World Master or Immortal level powerhouses, right?"
"Alright." King Nightmare only said one sentence and then said no more, "You go complete your Cultivation mission first. After you complete the Cultivation mission in the Purgatory Abyss, we'll gather again."
Ender nodded, "Yes."
...
Not long after, Ender left the fortress suppressing the Purgatory Abyss and took an E-class spaceship to the Purgatory Abyss below.
Whoosh!
The disguised E-class spaceship landed on a continent in the outer region of the Purgatory Abyss.
Hiss!
The hatch opened, and as soon as Ender emerged from the spaceship, he felt a wave of heat rush towards him.
"The temperature in the outer region of the Purgatory Abyss is already sixty to seventy degrees Celsius. The temperature at the bottom will probably reach an exaggerated level."
He put the E-class spaceship into his world ring and felt the environment on this continent, "The gravity is not low, and I don't know if it's caused by the temperature, but no plants were found."
Whoosh!
Ender flew close to the ground, "The danger level in the outer region of the Purgatory Abyss is very low. Unless you're unlucky enough to encounter a spatial crack that occurs once in tens of millions of years, there's no danger to speak of." Soon he arrived at the edge of this continent. Standing on the edge, he could overlook the Purgatory Abyss, but due to the constantly moving continents and islands blocking his view, he couldn't see much.
Even so, Ender could still feel the heat and chaos. In this Purgatory Abyss, his Gene Energy recovery speed also slowed down a bit.
He leaped from the edge of the continent, falling towards the continent below, and after flying to the edge of another continent, he continued to fly towards the island below.
Repeating this, he spent several days reaching the inner region of the Purgatory Abyss, and his timer began working at this time.
"Hmm!"
Upon entering the inner region of the Purgatory Abyss, Ender, whose figure was hidden, suddenly looked up into the distance and saw a dark red object moving.
That dark red object was tens of meters high, shaped like a short-bodied lizard carved from rock. It was the native Purgatory Beasts of the Purgatory Abyss!
It moved slowly, each step causing the ground to tremble. Bright red lines occasionally appeared on its body surface, as if its blood was flowing in its veins, very conspicuous.
"A Domain Master Fourth-Order Purgatory Beasts!" After a simple probe, Ender thought, "I wonder if my luck is good or bad, the first Purgatory Beasts I encountered is Domain Master."
"I'll observe for a while longer to make sure there are no other Purgatory Beasts before making a move." He remained hidden and patiently observed.
...
Two days later.
Looking at the Domain Master Purgatory Beasts, which was lying on the ground like a small mountain, seemingly resting, Ender had already advanced to a close distance, enough for him to arrive instantly.
"Kill!"
Ender burst out, his figure flashed, and he was already on the Domain Master Purgatory Beasts.
Annihilation Two!
A huge dark red claw shadow appeared, containing terrifying power. Wherever the claw tip passed, it seemed to tear space apart.
Bang!
The huge dark red claw shadow struck the back of the Domain Master Purgatory Beasts. Instantly, rock fragments splattered, hot, blood-like magma splashed, and terrifying high temperatures surged out.
After the scorching magma blood dripped onto the ground, the terrifying high temperature immediately caused white smoke to appear on the ground, and the ground temperature also rose accordingly.
Roar!
Suffering a sudden attack and severe injury to its back, the Domain Master Purgatory Beasts roared in pain.
Thump!
With its back injured, the Domain Master Purgatory Beasts flew up, then flipped over and fell to the ground, attempting to crush the enemy on its back.
Boom!
Amidst a huge sound, the earth trembled, rocks rolled down, and surrounding small stones were shaken away.
Even so, Ender was not much affected, because he had already drilled into the body of the Domain Master Purgatory Beasts.
With the Fifth-Order Spirit Weapon Green Vine Pillar clearing the way, he was unstoppable, searching for traces of the nightmare core within the Domain Master Purgatory Beasts's body.
"Found it!"
Soon, Ender found a moving dark red life core, which had been trying to evade his search, but its speed was too slow and it was still found by Ender.
The Green Vine Pillar extended the Endless Vine, moving towards the nightmare core, wrapping around it at extreme speed.
"Die!"
With a thought from Ender, the Endless Vine contracted rapidly, and "crack, crack" sounds continuously echoed, accompanied by the painful roar of the Domain Master Purgatory Beasts.
Thump, thump!
The Domain Master Purgatory Beasts struggled frantically, its relatively short tail violently slapping the ground again and again, creating a huge deep pit in the ground.
Bang!
Under the contraction and squeezing of the Endless Vine, the dark red nightmare core shattered, splitting into three pieces.
And as the nightmare core shattered, the Domain Master Purgatory Beasts also fell to the ground, dead, with no further movement.
The originally scorching magma blood, after the death of the Domain Master Purgatory Beasts, slowly began to cool, and it was estimated that it would not be long before it turned into obsidian.
Ender manipulated the Endless Vine, wrapping the shattered nightmare core, and rushed out of the Domain Master Purgatory Beasts's body.
Pfft!
Accompanied by the splashing of magma blood and Stone fragments, Ender flew out of the Domain Master Purgatory Beasts, with the Endless Vine wrapping the nightmare core trailing behind him.
"I can't stay in this place."
The world ring took in the Endless Vine and the nightmare core together. Ender's figure flashed, and he flew away into the distance.
A few hours after Ender left, a Purgatory Beasts several times larger descended. Compared to the killed Purgatory Beasts, this one was truly as tall as a mountain!
...
Having hidden on another continent, Ender separated his consciousness and entered his world ring.
"This Domain Master Purgatory Beasts's nightmare core is really hard."
He looked at the nightmare core, which was broken into three pieces, "I used the Endless Vine, and it took two or three seconds to squeeze it until it shattered."
"Speaking of which, hunting Domain Master Purgatory Beasts is not difficult, it's just that their large size makes the killing speed relatively slow." He weighed the nightmare core, "And this single nightmare core weighs over two tons."
"This is only a Domain Master Fourth-Order Purgatory Beasts." Ender thought, "If it were a Domain Master Ninth-Order Purgatory Beasts, the nightmare core would probably weigh three tons."
"That means I only need to hunt three to four hundred Purgatory Beasts to collect a thousand tons of nightmare cores."
He thought, "Calculated this way, this mission of collecting nightmare cores doesn't seem difficult either."
"Hmm, at this rate, I probably won't need three years to complete this third trial mission."
...
After hiding for three days, Ender encountered a Domain Master Second-Order Purgatory Beasts. After observing for a few days and confirming that there was only one Purgatory Beasts.
He killed the Purgatory Beasts in less than a minute, then took its nightmare core and fled to other continents and islands to hide.
Similarly, a few hours later, a significantly larger Purgatory Beasts arrived next to the killed Purgatory Beasts.
After a moment of observation, a rumbling sound rang out, "It's the arrival of a foreign race!"
...
Five days later, on another continent, after searching several continents and islands, he finally found a Domain Master Seventh-Order Purgatory Beasts.
As usual.
He concealed his figure and aura, observed for several days, and after finding no other Purgatory Beasts traces, he slowly approached the Domain Master Purgatory Beasts.
But just as Ender was about to make a move, a chilling sense of crisis suddenly arose!
"Found you!" At the same time, a rumbling sound rang out, "Damn foreign race!"
The sound came from under Ender's feet, and only at this moment did he realize that the ground beneath him was a Purgatory Beasts!
