Chapter 611: Essence Blood Grades and Entering the Abyss
Gulp.
With Kun Ji and Kun Su's swift defeat, the plaza echoed with the sound of people swallowing.
Even the young generation of the Kun Peng Clan and the various elders had a trace of horror surging in their eyes at this moment. In that previous instant, they hadn't even had time to see clearly what happened, yet Kun Su and the other had already been defeated.
Those were two Reincarnation Realm powerhouses. In any force within the Great Thousand World, they would be absolutely valued as high-level figures.
Yet now, they were as helpless as chicks in that youth's hands.
"You... you win."
At this moment in the field, Kun Su and Kun Ji staggered to their feet. After being dazed for a long while, a sense of defeat finally surged in their eyes filled with horror.
Only after experiencing that terror did they understand just how formidable the strength of this handsome youth before them truly was.
Lin Langtian smiled slightly, the silver light on his hand slowly receding.
After breaking through to the Reincarnation Realm, although his use of the Spatial Ancestral Symbol still couldn't compare to Moro's control over the Flame Ancestral Symbol, dealing with two Reincarnation Realm experts was more than enough.
Moreover, the Kun Peng Clan's greatest strengths were speed and spatial power, but all of that was completely suppressed by Lin Langtian, who possessed the Spatial Ancestral Symbol.
"Such powerful spatial power. Is this the might of the Spatial Ancestral Symbol?"
The silver-haired woman Kun Ling watched the outcome in the field, a touch of emotion on her delicate face.
Facing the speed of Kun Ji and Kun Su, even she would find it quite difficult to counter, but unexpectedly, Lin Langtian had cracked it head-on.
"It seems that being able to resolve our Kun Peng Clan's major trouble indeed requires powerful strength."
Kun Ji and Kun Su smiled bitterly. They were inherently proud individuals, but now they had no choice but to admit that they had indeed misjudged.
Kun Qiong looked at the somewhat quietened plaza and smiled faintly. Those originally arrogant young brats had now reined in some of their pride.
This was good too—it let them understand that there were always people beyond people, and not to always think that possessing the Kun Peng Clan's bloodline meant they could truly stand above others.
"However, this Lin Langtian can wield the power of the Spatial Ancestral Symbol to such a degree. He's truly not simple. Without that, it would be impossible to defeat Kun Ji and the other so quickly."
Kun Qiong exchanged glances with several Kun Peng Clan elders beside him, a trace of surprise in their eyes. Even though the Kun Peng Clan excelled most in spatial power, it still fell somewhat short before the Spatial Ancestral Symbol.
"I yield." In the field, Lin Langtian patted Kun Ji and Kun Su's shoulders and smiled.
"Brother Langtian is indeed formidable. It was my poor judgment before."
Kun Ji and Kun Su also showed some grace. Although they had lost, they still cupped their hands and smiled. However, their attitudes now were much better than their previous nonchalance.
The principle that strength reigns supreme held true everywhere.
"My quota for the North Sea Abyss goes to Brother Langtian then." Kun Su beside them smiled slightly at this moment and said.
"Thank you, Brother Kun Su." Lin Langtian smiled.
"You brats, always looking down on others. Today you've finally been taught a lesson, haven't you?" Kun Qiong led several elders into the field and laughed heartily.
The young men and women of the Kun Peng Clan around the plaza also nodded solemnly. The strength Lin Langtian had displayed had indeed greatly shocked them.
"Since the result is settled, in three days, we'll open the North Sea Abyss. At that time, Lin Langtian, Kun Ling, Kun Ji—you three will enter the North Sea Abyss!" Kun Qiong's eyes turned to the three and said.
Hearing this, Lin Langtian and the other two nodded.
"Haha, I'm quite looking forward to seeing what grade of essence blood the North Sea Abyss will produce this time?" Kun Qiong said with interest.
"Essence blood has grades too?" Lin Langtian was stunned. He knew nothing about these matters.
"Of course. These essence bloods, after being tempered in the North Sea Abyss for thousands or tens of thousands of years, also vary in strength and weakness. Generally speaking, they are divided into upper, middle, and lower three grades of essence blood."
Kun Qiong wasn't surprised by Lin Langtian's ignorance, after all, this information was only known to Kun Peng Clan members.
"Of course, upper-grade essence blood isn't the purest. Above it, there's another kind called ancient essence blood, though those who can obtain it are extremely rare."
"Oh?" Lin Langtian's gaze flickered slightly, clearly quite interested in that so-called ancient essence blood.
"Alright, everyone go back and rest first. In three days, we'll open the North Sea Abyss." Kun Qiong waved his hand at this moment and said.
"Come on, Brother Langtian, come play with us. There's plenty of fun stuff in the Kun Peng Clan."
Lin Langtian nodded and was about to leave when he was pulled away by the grinning Kun Ji and Kun Su.
Seeing this, Lin Langtian didn't refuse. Then, under the escort of many interested young men and women of the Kun Peng Clan, he departed into the distance.
Kun Qiong watched the departing group and couldn't help but smile.
"Clan Leader, ancient essence blood is indeed pure and powerful, but aren't you forgetting one kind?" One of the Kun Peng Clan elders also smiled as he watched the large group of young people leaving, suddenly laughing.
Kun Qiong was stunned upon hearing this, then looked helplessly at that elder. "You're talking about dragon-kun essence blood? That's even rarer than ancient essence blood. Do you think it could appear again?"
The elder chuckled dryly and shook his head. That was indeed something quite ethereal. Being able to get ancient essence blood again would already be very satisfying. As for dragon-kun essence blood, better not to hope.
...
When the third day arrived, the entire Kun Peng Clan seemed to become much more lively. The opening of the North Sea Abyss was a major event within the Kun Peng Clan.
After all, if rare essence blood appeared, it meant the Kun Peng Clan would have another clan member with terrifying potential. This was no small matter for the entire Kun Peng Clan.
At this time, in the surrounding skies, streams of light occasionally streaked by. Giant kun figures that were rare to see in the outside world were everywhere here.
Their direction was the deepest part of the Kun Domain, clearly all heading toward the North Sea Abyss. Although there were only three limited entry quotas, being able to witness it firsthand was still good.
"Young Friend Langtian, we're almost there."
After flying for another dozen or so minutes, Kun Jian suddenly spoke. At this time, his expression had become somewhat solemn. For them Kun Peng Clan members, the North Sea Abyss was akin to a sacred ground.
Lin Langtian and the other landed on a mountain peak, their gazes looking forward. It was a basin surrounded by mountains on all sides.
At this moment, under the encirclement of several majestic mountain peaks, a massive black abyss appeared in Lin Langtian's sight.
That abyss was about a thousand zhang in size, with no ripples or undulations within. It was viscous and pitch-black, appearing extremely strange.
"That is our Kun Peng Clan's North Sea Abyss."
Kun Jian pointed to that massive black deep pool, his expression devout. In this deep pool lay the remains of countless Kun Peng Clan ancestors.
Lin Langtian's eyes focused. Above that black abyss, a brilliant light array floated and fluctuated.
Strands of light shot down, sealing the deep pool completely. However, even so, strands of nearly terrifying energy still leaked out, distorting the space above and making it nearly impossible for outsiders to approach.
What level of terror must this energy reach?
Lin Langtian narrowed his eyes slightly. No wonder the Kun Peng Clan regarded it so importantly.
"Heh heh, to prevent the North Sea Abyss's energy from overflowing, our Kun Peng Clan uses an array to seal it. Each opening requires the clan leader and at least six elders to act together." Kun Jian beside him explained.
Lin Langtian nodded. Lifting his gaze, he saw that the distant mountain peaks were already filled with figures. On the main peak, Kun Qiong and the others had long been standing there.
As Lin Langtian looked over, Kun Qiong also noticed him and immediately smiled at him. Then, turning his head, he looked at the six Kun Peng Clan elders behind him and waved his hand. "Open the North Sea Abyss."
"Yes!"
The six elders responded solemnly. Then, with a wave of their sleeves, six energy light pillars shot out from their hands, directly entering the array covering the North Sea Abyss.
Hum hum!
As they activated it, the array slowly began to rotate. Those strands of light concealing the North Sea Abyss's energy fluctuations also dissipated one by one.
At this moment, Kun Qiong also pointed out with a finger. A black light shot into the array, and then the array boomed. The light array rose slowly, finally dissipating abruptly when it was a thousand zhang away from the North Sea Abyss.
Swoosh!
As the array dissipated, everyone immediately saw a black light pillar erupting violently from the North Sea Abyss, shooting into the clouds. That patch of space shattered directly at this moment.
Between heaven and earth, fierce winds howled, as if countless aged kun chants emanated from the North Sea Abyss, echoing through the world.
All the Kun Peng Clan members, hearing these aged kun chants, lowered their eyes with solemn expressions.
"Such terrifying energy."
Lin Langtian also lowered his head slightly, but his gaze shook as he watched the North Sea Abyss from which the black light pillar had erupted. Although he had now broken through to the Reincarnation Realm, facing this might still made him feel a sense of insignificance.
"Lin Langtian, Ling'er, Kun Ji—you three set off. As for what you'll gain, it all depends on your own fortunes." Kun Qiong said solemnly.
Hearing this, Lin Langtian's gaze also turned to Kun Ling and the other on a distant mountain peak.
They looked at the North Sea Abyss with some fanaticism. Then, gritting their teeth, they turned into two streams of light and, under the gaze of countless eyes, plunged straight into the North Sea Abyss.
The two plunged in without making a sound. The abyss water rippled once, then returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
Boom!
However, this silence was soon broken. Two massive kun shadows appeared in the North Sea Abyss. They seemed to be struggling violently. Two kun chants filled with extreme pain emanated somewhat hoarsely from the North Sea Abyss.
That pure energy tempering was so intense.
"Young Friend Langtian, you go too. The energy in the North Sea Abyss is powerful. If you can't bear it, come out quickly—there's no shame in that. That kind of pain truly isn't something everyone can endure."
Kun Jian looked at Lin Langtian. From his appearance, it seemed he had also suffered in the North Sea Abyss before.
Lin Langtian nodded and exhaled lightly. A trace of resolve flashed in his pitch-black eyes.
"I'm going."
With a low shout, Lin Langtian's figure shot out. Then, under the gaze of countless eyes across the mountains and wilds, he plunged into the North Sea Abyss.
On the mountain peak, Kun Qiong watched the churning North Sea Abyss below, his palms slightly clenched. "After so many years, this is the first time a human without Kun Peng Clan bloodline has entered the North Sea Abyss. I wonder if Lin Langtian can hold on."
"The North Sea Abyss is formed from the energy of our many Kun Peng Clan ancestors, so the energy within will resist humans. However, there seems to be an extremely powerful demonic beast aura in that Lin Langtian's body.
This aura is similar to our clan's bloodline. Perhaps that's why Young Friend Langtian sought essence blood from our clan's Reincarnation Realm powerhouse." Great Elder Kun Yuan pondered.
"In that case, Young Friend Langtian truly has a connection with our clan. After all, he also possesses the Devouring Ancestral Symbol."
Kun Qiong seemed to think of something and nodded slightly. A trace of expectation suddenly surged in his gaze toward the North Sea Abyss.
"However, this Lin Langtian isn't a simple person either. Heh heh, I'm quite curious to see what grade of essence blood a human body like his can obtain in the North Sea Abyss."
"If ancient essence blood appears again, that would be interesting..."
...
The instant Lin Langtian plunged into the North Sea Abyss, he suddenly felt the clamor of the world completely dissipate.
His vision was plunged into darkness. Grasping with his hand, he could feel the viscous black abyss water sliding past his palm.
At this moment, Lin Langtian could sense that strands of energy, violent beyond description, were centering on him and sweeping madly toward him.
Puff!
In a subtle sound, the clothes on Lin Langtian's body instantly turned to powder. The black and viscous abyss water, like sludge, layered over his body.
Sizzle!
As if harsh sounds could be heard, strands of exceptionally black energy surged out at this moment, then drilled into Lin Langtian's body through every pore without restraint.
Intense pain swarmed in this instant!
Lin Langtian's body tensed tightly, veins on his skin surface bulging like coiling dragons.
Those black energies surged into his body like blades, leaving devastation in their wake. Even his meridians were slashed and wounded all over.
At this moment, Lin Langtian could clearly feel that his internal organs and bones seemed to be suddenly gripped by countless large hands.
The intense pain spread throughout his body, one wave after another impacting Lin Langtian's mind. His body convulsed violently at this moment.
Only now did he understand why even Kun Jian was apprehensive about the North Sea Abyss. This kind of pain was indeed enough to make one lose their reason.
But things had come to this, and all Lin Langtian could do was grit his teeth and endure...
