Chapter 528 - 232: Meteor?
It made no sense at all.
The meteor just now proved that this world was clearly a Great Abyss!
Logically, a Great Abyss like this should be so dense that not even a feather could float on it.
But somehow, standing on it felt like solid ground.
Over the past year, he had even tried to dig his fingers into this surface... but it was like clawing at a solid mirror.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t push his hand through it.
...In the end, he could only treat it as a "special scenario"—something that looked like a Great Abyss but wasn’t.
Like a simulated environment...
But that meteor proved otherwise.
This thing... was no "special scenario."
It was a real, genuine Great Abyss!
The moment the ripples appeared, Qin Fang was nearly swallowed whole.
If he hadn’t reacted quickly, he would have been turned into a block of ice and sunk into the water by now.
But now... the ripples were gone, and the water’s surface was solid again...
So solid he couldn’t even scratch it!
’Why is it changing like this?’
Qin Fang found it hard to understand.
After a long while, he could only shake his head and attribute it to the strangeness of this world.
He then subconsciously glanced at the spot where the meteor had landed... only to find it completely empty.
’It seems... the meteor fell into the Great Abyss.’
Qin Fang felt a pang of regret...
...After all, the meteor had managed to "smash through" this Great Abyss, triggering such a massive wave. As something from this Secret Realm, it had to be extraordinary.
But now it had been swallowed by the Great Abyss...
’Forget it.’ On one hand, Qin Fang didn’t have the ability to enter the Great Abyss to search for it.
On the other, he had no intention of going even if he could.
He’d had a taste of how bizarre this world truly was...
"...If anyone ever says this world isn’t dangerous again, I’ll be the first to argue..."
Qin Fang grumbled helplessly.
A moment later, he let out a light breath, took out a True Essence Pill, and swallowed it.
There was no way out, and this world seemed both dangerous and strange... It was best not to act recklessly. ’I should recover first.’
Otherwise... if something like that happened again, he wouldn’t have enough Primordial Essence to rapidly heal his body this time.
Soon, he closed his eyes and entered a state of Meditation, beginning to restore his True Essence.
Time passed quietly. His Meditation lasted a long time... Since the Divine Summoning Hourglass wasn’t prepared, there was nothing to remind him.
Time trickled by.
At a certain moment, a faint Golden Light began to rise from beneath the water’s surface, about a thousand meters away.
The Golden Light was so brilliant that not even the profound blackness of the Abyss could conceal its radiance.
It was faint at first, but it gradually grew brighter and brighter...
Until finally.
With a soft POP.
An object radiating intense light leaped out of the water. The surface rippled slightly, and then the object lay quietly atop the "water"...
Qin Fang’s Meditation had lasted for quite a while. This was mainly because using Primordial Essence to heal his injuries, while highly effective, consumed a great deal of True Essence and stamina.
He himself didn’t know how much time had passed. At last, his depleted Primordial Essence was replenished, and his True Essence was fully restored.
Through his Perception, it felt as though the Profound Nether Nature within his True Essence had grown a bit stronger...
As Qin Fang perceived this, he thought, ’If that happens two more times... my Profound Nether Nature might actually reach the Fifth Grade: Eternal Freeze.’
He hadn’t forgotten what his master told him... a Profound Nether Nature at the Eternal Freeze level was terrifying.
Take the Erosion Puppet. If he reached the Eternal Freeze level, he could probably freeze it solid with a single leaf!
...That Erosion Puppet was no pushover. Its Physique was incredibly tough, and it possessed that fearsome, corrupting erosive power...
A Third Realm Martial Artist would definitely be no match for it.
Only a Divine Illumination Realm Martial Artist who had condensed True Gang could perhaps rely on the power of their Gang to slay it.
But if his Profound Nether Nature reached Eternal Freeze, he could freeze it solid in a single blow!
...In other words, there was a high probability that even a True Gang Martial Artist could be frozen solid!
...After all, Nature was not the same as True Essence.
They were matters of two different dimensions.
To make a rough analogy... no matter how strong a normal person’s physique is, they’ll still turn into an ice sculpture at twenty degrees below zero. If they’re set on fire, they’ll burn to a crisp just the same.
It was something like that.
...Of course, this wasn’t the mortal world, so things weren’t quite so absolute.
But its power was undeniable.
The ability to defeat stronger opponents was also a certainty.
After inspecting his body and confirming there were no hidden issues, Qin Fang finally opened his eyes.
The moment he did, he was stunned and instinctively looked up...
...Because the entire world had become incredibly bright!
...He thought another meteor was falling!
But when he looked up, he saw the starlight in the sky was unchanged.
And this light...
...Was coming from the side!
He quickly turned his head toward the source of the light.
And immediately saw the brilliantly glowing golden object lying silently on the water’s surface a thousand meters away.
’...What... is that?’
Qin Fang was a little dazed.
’That spot... isn’t that where the meteor fell?’
But he remembered clearly that he had specifically looked there before he started healing, and there had been nothing!
’How did this thing suddenly appear while I was in Meditation?’
His brows furrowed subconsciously.
His expression grew solemn.
Then, a hesitation began to surface in his mind...
’Should I go take a look?’
The thing was glittering with golden light, perfectly matching the common image of a Treasure.
But this world was so bizarre.
And its location was also significant... it was where the meteor had fallen.
’Could it be... the meteor that fell into the Abyss?’
’Did it float back up for some reason?’
he speculated internally.
Of course, the most important point was...
...this thing.
’Is it dangerous?’
