"This thing had about the same gravity as a neutron star."
With nothing to grab onto while suspended in midair, Zhang Chen could only keep accelerating as he was pulled toward the surface of the enormous dark sphere.
As he passed through the ring of rocks, Zhang Chen's body struck fragments of stone. He had assumed such rocks would have no effect on him, yet when the first fragment hit his shoulder, it actually left the shoulder beneath his Black Ghost Robe numb.
"These ring stones! Every single one has the mass of a mountain, formed through compression under intense gravity."
Zhang Chen immediately drew the great saber "Tooth Cutter" and crushed the stone fragments before him into powder one by one.
"The gravity in the inner ring has leveled off and will no longer increase, much like Earth's atmosphere. Next comes the ultra-high-speed descent. Under this gravitational acceleration, even steel would be smashed into a metal pancake. My body should be able to endure it."
"Boom!"
From a height of ten thousand meters above the sphere's surface, Zhang Chen completed his descent in nearly a second. A tremendous sound erupted from the point of impact, yet the ground showed no indentation at all, revealing the hardness of the material composing the sphere.
Zhang Chen knelt on one knee, and a wave of numbness spread through his entire body as his bones were jarred by the supersonic impact. He only recovered after resting briefly.
"I finally landed safely. The pseudo-origin is probably located in the core of this sphere, turning the entire sphere into something like a miniature planet."
Although the sphere was only one-twentieth the size of the planet inhabited by humans in the Human World, its complete gravitational effect and inner ring had already created an inland living
