The Last King Of Darkness

The lowest layer of the sewer.

In a massive space, countless pillars form a circular phalanx—this is Trolian’s Abyss Seal, with its suppressive power stemming from the Silver Ring above.

Precisely due to the existence of the seal and the Silver Ring, the abyss beneath Trolian can exist stably over the long term.

It’s also because of this that before Rod set out, the Silver Ring had already begun operating beyond its limits, greatly enhancing the power of the seal. The pervasive white light almost completely obscured the surface. If Rod didn’t know the abyss’s entrance was here, no one would dare to believe this area hid a terrifying black hole.

"Below is the abyss."

Rod said solemnly.

"Before entering, there are a few things to mention. Firstly, the abyss is not below us; it’s an independent plane. In terms of space position, it’s below the Main Material World; this is just the entrance."

"Secondly, the abyss is divided into many layers; it is not static, but constantly deriving and spreading, eroding the Main Material World. The outermost layer born from this is called the Derivative Layer. Many scholars do not consider the Derivative Layer and the Abyss Rift formed by its division to be the true abyss."

"Thirdly, the true abyss lies deeper and may not be connected to the surface’s Derivative Layer. Our basic goal this time is to find a lowest positional point, after which I will use the [Spirit Boat] to bring us into the next layer of the abyss..."

Fei Xue swiftly raised his hand, his bright, watery eyes staring straight at him.

Rod frowned and said, "What do you have to say?"

"Why don’t we directly use the [Spirit Boat] to enter the deepest layer of the abyss? Is it because Rod brother’s endurance is not enough?"

Rod said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense! I just don’t want to waste time... cough, I mean, the [Spirit Boat] is extremely fast and can traverse space and plane; with high Divine Power blessing, carrying four people is no problem. However, the abyss has very strong pollution—not only the corrosion of the Black Fog but also the erosion of abyssal pollution. Traveling in space at extremely fast speeds will cause pollution to accumulate to high levels very quickly. Even Lord Alan’s [Abyss Blade] cannot resist it, so we cannot directly use the [Spirit Boat] to enter the abyss; otherwise, I’d have gone long ago without waiting for you!"

Chucher nodded: "I understand, so it’s a matter of endurance."

Rod sighed, holding his forehead: "Sort of. Don’t overthink it; it’s the endurance of the [Spirit Boat]."

Frank, carrying a giant gourd, chuckled and said: "We understand; to reduce pollution, you choose the nearest area to reach the endpoint in the shortest time."

"Not the endpoint." Rod corrected: "Over the long years, the abyss has diversified into many Derivative Layers. The excessively old Derivative Layers have become part of the abyss; we may need multiple travels to reach the deepest layer, the earliest and most primitive abyss, which in some academic circles is considered the true abyss—a plane born with the creation of the world and the Main Material World."

Viheler loudly exclaimed: "Grandma’s corns, why make it so complicated? Let’s set off quickly and give the abyss a good thrashing, dig out the ashes of the wicked, and mix them into a meal for me!"

Fei Xue glanced at him with disgust: "Vulgar men are disgusting... Brother Rod makes me feel comfortable, though a bit brief."

"Shut up!"

Rod turned around, leaped to the center of the pillars, and disappeared into the white light.

The four followed Rod’s pace and jumped in as well. In the next instant, everyone’s view flipped, the world spun, and the positional changes in space were intense; the plane’s corridor dragged them from the Main Material World to the outermost layer of the abyss.

Bang bang bang bang!

The five of them crashed into the abyss’s surface; the huge impact created a hole thousands of yards wide in the hard ground, as the abyss aura and Black Fog surged together, trying to flow into their souls.

Rod quickly took out the Spirit Lamp and hung the [Abyss Blade] on his chest. The invisible protection instantly unfolded, blocking the aura emitting strong pollution radiation.

The red light of [Bright Red Tears] began to flash simultaneously; after reigniting, the protection abilities of this star strengthened greatly, and the Black Fog was immediately dispersed by the fire reinforced by flames, leaving only the dusky abyss aura.

The other four did not have this ability; they could only use more Spirit Lamps and stronger Guardian Fires to resist the erosion of pollution.

To Rod’s surprise, the abyss’s corrosive aura was also dispelled by [Bright Red Tears]. Although not as obvious as the Black Fog, the abyss aura around him retreated tens of yards, while each of the other four enveloped in the abyss aura could only rely on Alan’s [Abyss Blade] for resistance.

"Book!"

Rod asked in his heart.

"What’s going on? Why does [Bright Red Tears] also have an effect on the abyss aura?"

The Book of Knowledge slowly flipped its pages and said after a moment: "Master, the star soul of [Bloody Tears] is [Perfect Red Tear], possessing the strongest protection power of the red tear stone. In other words, if they also have a perfect red tear stone, they too can have a protective effect against the abyss aura."
