Abyss Walker

Chapter 104 Purgatory - Abyss Transformation

In the fierce exchange, Yun Muhan moved like a dancer, weaving through the attacks of the shadowy figures. His steps were light and swift, and every dodge was perfectly timed.

His eyes were sharp as an eagle's, capturing every movement of the shadowy figure, searching for that fatal flaw.

Finally, the opportunity arrived.

Yun Muhan spotted the shadowy figure's attack trajectory, leaned forward abruptly, and thrust the Dugu Bing Sword like lightning straight at the shadowy figure's heart.

His voice echoed through the cave, accompanied by his sword strikes, unleashing a powerful sword aura: "Ice Dragon Descends!"

A flicker of fear flashed in the shadowy figure's eyes as it tried to dodge the fatal blow, but Yun Muhan was faster and more ruthless.

The sword tip pierced through the shadowy figure's body, and the icy sword energy instantly spread, freezing the shadowy figure's internal organs. It let out a shrill scream that echoed through the cave, sending chills down one's spine.

The dark figure fell, and Yun Muhan gasped for breath, his chest heaving violently, sweat streaming down his forehead.

His body was nearing its limit; his muscles ached, and he was almost completely exhausted. But he knew this was not the time to rest; he had to keep going.

Yun Muhan bent down and picked up a strange magic crystal that had fallen from the dead shadow. The magic crystal emitted a faint purple light and strange runes flowed on its surface. It was a unique item from Yuanzhou and contained powerful magic.

He gripped the magic crystal tightly, feeling the power within it. Though small, it might provide him with some help at a crucial moment.

Yun Muhan: I can now pinpoint my exact location in Yuanzhou. It's a special place outside Yuanxing, similar to a trial ground—Purgatory.

"In purgatory, evil spirits roam freely. One can easily be possessed or even devoured by purgatory itself. How can one get out?"

Dugu Jianling: "There is an item in Yuanzhou called the Divine Stone, which can save us from our current predicament. However, the problem is that there is no one here, and we have no guidance about the Divine Stone. We must protect ourselves first. We must not be careless in Purgatory."

Dugu Jianling's voice reached Yun Muhan's ears.

Yun Muhan cautiously looked around. The eerie winds of purgatory howled, and the wails of ghosts rose and fell.

"I must find the divine stone as soon as possible, otherwise my soul may be devoured at any time in this purgatory."

Just as he was anxiously searching for a way out, a series of hurried footsteps broke the deathly silence.

A stunningly beautiful girl suddenly appeared in Yun Muhan's sight. Her long hair was flowing, her clothes were fluttering, and her face showed a look of terror, clearly indicating that she was fleeing for her life.

Despair was evident in her eyes, as if there were endless pursuers behind her.

Yun Muhan realized that this girl had probably been inside for some time and might know the whereabouts of the divine stone, or at least its main location.

Yun Muhan quickly approached the girl, while remaining alert to any ghosts that might appear around them.

"Young lady, are you also trapped here?" Yun Muhan tried to make his voice sound gentle so as not to frighten her.

The girl stopped and looked at Yun Muhan warily. A hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by the instinct for survival.

“Yes, I was chased by those ghosts for a long time; they wanted to take my soul.” Her voice trembled, but her tone was firm.

Yun Muhan nodded; he certainly knew how terrifying the ghosts in this purgatory were. "My name is Yun Muhan. I'm searching for an item called the Divine Stone, which is said to be able to save us from here. Have you heard of it?"

The girl's eyes lit up, and she said urgently, "I know where the divine stone is, but I need your help. Those ghosts are too powerful; I can't fight them alone."

Yun Muhan immediately expressed his willingness to help her, and the two quickly formed an alliance.

Together they traversed the mists of purgatory, dodging wandering ghosts, searching for the legendary divine stone.

Yun Muhan and the girl walked with extra caution in the darkness of Purgatory, their shadows stretching long in the dim light.

The girl moved nimbly and decisively, and her eyes revealed a maturity and wisdom beyond her years.

Whenever the shadow of a ghost lingers in the distance, she can always guide Yun Muhan to skillfully avoid danger through intuition or some kind of mysterious knowledge, as if she has some special connection with this hellish place.

Yun Muhan's curiosity was like a flame gently stirred by the wind. He was full of questions about the girl's identity, but he knew that now was not the time to ask.

Their goal was to find the divine stone and escape this place filled with fear and death. His gaze remained fixed ahead, and every step he took was firm and powerful.

They passed through a dark forest, where the branches of the trees twisted like ghostly claws, and the leaves rustled in the wind as if whispering untold secrets.

A sense of oppression permeated the forest, but the girl seemed to know everything about it. She led Yun Muhan through the most hidden paths, avoiding the ghosts lurking in the shadows.

Crossing a swift-flowing river, the water was icy cold, with a faint mist floating on its surface. The water crashed against the rocks, making a roaring sound, as if warning the intruders.

The girl, however, showed no fear. With steady steps, she led Yun Muhan across the river.

Finally, they arrived at an ancient temple. The temple's architecture was simple and solemn, with vines climbing the stone pillars, and the doors tightly closed, covered with strange runes.

These runes shimmered with a mysterious light in the dim light, as if they were telling ancient secrets, waiting for a destined person to decipher them.

Yun Muhan and the girl stood in front of the temple, their hearts pounding in their chests. They knew that this might be the key to finding the divine stone.

The temple's doors are like an entrance to another world, mysterious and unknown.

“The sacred stone is inside.” The girl pointed to the temple, her eyes shining with hope.

Yun Muhan took a deep breath. He knew very well that they were about to face what might be the most powerful evil spirit in purgatory.

He gripped the Lone Sword tightly, preparing to face the upcoming challenge.

“Then let’s go in together,” Yun Muhan said firmly. The two walked into the temple side by side, ready to uncover the secrets of the divine stone and find hope of escaping purgatory.

As Yun Muhan and the girl's footsteps echoed within the temple, a heavy sense of history and a mysterious atmosphere seemed to permeate from every brick and every crack.

The air was filled with a faint smell of mildew and dust, a reminder that no one had set foot here for a long time.

The dimness inside the temple created a sense of oppression, as if the light had been swallowed up. Only a few stubborn beams of light pierced through the cracks at the top, like divine guidance illuminating their path forward.

The light cast dappled shadows on the stone path, making the outline of the temple's interior appear and disappear, adding to its mystery and depth.
