Chapter 10: The Realm of Kings, the Abyss, the Void Cavity!
Namjang City, No. 89, a suburban slum.
Zhang Wei, the captain of the first squad of the patrol division, clutched his chest wound and looked at everything in the sky with a grim expression.
"How could this happen..."
A month ago, he and his team tracked down a group of Abyss Believers who had infiltrated Nanjiang City, and finally found their hideout today.
Just as they were about to be wiped out.
Something unexpected happened.
Among them was a fifth-tier warrior who had awakened to the S-rank sequence and changed his class to the rare Crimson Priest. With an extremely rare blood sacrifice skill, he forcibly sacrificed all the Abyss Cultists and the corpses of the civilians they had secretly slaughtered, summoning the Abyss to descend.
By the time Zhang Wei realized what was happening...
It was all too late.
At the moment that evil and powerful abyssal aura erupted.
Three of his teammates from the patrol division died on the spot, and even Zhang Wei, who was at the sixth level, was seriously injured.
I could feel the aura emanating from the crack in the sky.
Zhang Wei murmured, "King Realm..."
Above the ninth-tier martial artist is the King Realm, who can easily destroy a city!
Above that are demigods, which bring calamities on the level of destroying a nation!
Click-clack!
Streaks of black lightning surged from the cracks in the sky. The aura of the creatures from the King Realm Abyss caused the celestial phenomena to change. The clear sky quickly turned into a thick cloud cover, with a violent storm and thunder, which looked extremely terrifying!
Outside Nanjiang City, the entrances to the abyss began to stir. Ferocious beasts broke through their seals, their eyes red, and roared as they charged toward the city walls!
"Fire!"
Soldiers roared, cannons roared, and most of the ferocious beasts were wiped out before they could even get close. What followed was a fierce hand-to-hand battle between the soldiers and the beasts, both sides fighting desperately.
……
Jiang Yuan looked up from the skylight window.
Several people stood high in the sky above Nanjiang City, radiating a terrifying spiritual pressure. Their life magnetic fields were as strong as several blazing suns, making it difficult for anyone to look up at them.
"This is... a hollow cavity?"
Liu He looked at the crack in the sky and said with a solemn expression.
The elder in the lead said, "Not bad."
A dignified and beautiful woman standing nearby said, "This is the first time I've seen this."
As they were speaking, a huge, malevolent single eye appeared in the void, looking down upon the group and the entire city with intelligence. Its terrifying will, carrying a corrupting aura, descended, causing the group's expressions to change. Liu He, whose life level was lower, turned pale instantly.
The dignified and beautiful woman raised her hand.
A pale purple mental barrier with engraved patterns appeared in front of them, and the mental pressure disappeared instantly.
The elder leader shouted sternly, "It cannot come out now. Attack immediately and destroy the void cavity."
The alloy longsword he was holding was covered by endless lightning. With a wave of his hand, a lightning blade light a thousand meters long shot into the sky and slashed towards the void cavity.
The middle-aged man with the sword on his back said coldly, "You beast! Go back!"
He gripped his sword and swung it, as if the space itself was being torn apart. A terrifying cross-shaped sword aura swept out, seemingly about to shred everything.
Liu He also unleashed his talent, with several white spheres appearing in front of him, from which air cannons shot out!
"Boom! Bang! Crack!!"
The cavity was attacked and became smaller and smaller.
The abyss within remained relentless; a gigantic tentacle covered in eyes twisted and squeezed out, shooting beams of purple light from its eyes that disintegrated everything.
Liu He narrowly escaped, breaking out in a cold sweat.
The mage in black robes raised his hands, forming barriers in front of the purple beams and protecting the safety of the city below.
"Mental Storm!"
The dignified and beautiful woman was also enraged. Her eyes emitted a purple light, and she unleashed a terrifying mental force to suppress his actions.
The white-haired old man swiftly severed the tentacle with a single slash, while the middle-aged man with the sword on his back unleashed countless sword lights, shattering it into millions of pieces.
Finally, as the mage, shrouded in black robes, summoned an elemental energy ball that exploded, the terrifying blast wave swept across everything around, dispersing the dark clouds and signaling the end of the battle.
In the city below.
The crowd breathed a sigh of relief and cheered when they saw this.
The white-haired old man sheathed his thunder blade, stroked his beard, and said in a deep voice, "These Abyss believers are really going too far."
"If this isn't dealt with soon, it'll become a huge problem. Lu Beili, what kind of work is your Inspection Division doing?"
The middle-aged man with the sword on his back, Lu Beili, calmly said, "This was our oversight, and I will take responsibility. I will also report the details of this matter."
"Hmph, that's for the best." The white-haired old man snorted coldly and turned to leave.
The group dispersed.
And they didn't notice.
The embers of the explosion fell into the city, some tiny pieces of flesh, no bigger than a finger, still burning, landing on the ground, the edges of buildings, and the roofs of cars.
They began to wriggle gently, as if they were alive.
……
The sky train arrived at the station without incident.
Jiang Yuan didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he got home.
I learned the whole story from the official website of the Martial Arts Association.
"Another group of Abyss cultists, those lunatics."
These people are all madmen, corrupted and depraved by the spirit of the Abyss, regarding the Abyss as a god and believing that the Abyss is the only eternal and indestructible being.
"Do they really want to drag humanity into an apocalyptic abyss?"
Jiang Yuan shook his head and said, once again feeling fortunate that he had chosen to hide his talents and profession.
Browse the news.

They were all renowned figures; apart from the city's garrison commander, it could be said that all of Nanjiang City's top combat forces were present.
"No wonder just looking at them makes me feel suffocated..."
Jiang Yuan murmured.
Even such powerful beings need to unite to fight against the abyss.
Jiang Yuan once again felt the threat of the abyss and the cruelty and danger of this era.
