Ch. 241Buried Immortal Abyss, Origin Crystal Core
Chapter Summary: Buried Immortal Abyss, Origin Crystal Core
Key Plot Points and Events
- Sun Yu dismantles and absorbs the core of an early-stage Immortal Emperor using his Extreme Dao Grotto-heaven, extracting coordinates to the Buried Immortal Abyss.
- He travels there atop Azi, the thunder dragon, but recalls Azi before entering because the abyss’s destructive Law Storms are too powerful for a World King-level creature.
- At the entrance, Sun Yu confronts the abyss’s gravekeeper, a mid-stage Immortal Emperor, accompanied by tens of thousands of corpse immortals.
- Sun Yu annihilates the corpse immortal army with his eight-hundred-billionfold Prison Suppressing Gravity. He then destroys the gravekeeper’s bronze mirror, breaks through his defensive laws with the Destruction Demon Arm, and tears out his Emperor core.
- Sun Yu descends to the bottom of the abyss, enduring extreme storms and gravity without injury.
- He discovers the Origin Crystal Core, the primordial source left from the collapse of the Ancient Immortal Domain.
- A final guardian formed from lava, Emperor-level laws, and the resentment of an ancient Immortal Emperor attacks him. Sun Yu destroys it with a single stomp, splitting the lava lake and crushing the lingering resentment.
- He absorbs the Origin Crystal Core into his Dantian, where the miniature galaxy grinds it apart and converts its energy into immense physical power.
- Sun Yu’s Prison Suppressing Gravity rises from eight hundred billionfold to five trillionfold, causing the surrounding space and rock layers to collapse merely from his presence.
- The abyss begins collapsing after the core is removed. Sun Yu blasts his way out using his enhanced gravity and returns to the starry sky.
- Immediately afterward, a powerful figure arrives in a bronze imperial carriage pulled by nine divine dragons and guarded by over a hundred late-Saint Realm generals. The unknown Emperor accuses Sun Yu of stealing the Origin Crystal Core.
- Sun Yu responds defiantly and launches a fifty-trillionfold gravity punch directly at the imperial carriage, ending the chapter at the start of their confrontation.
Character Developments
- Sun Yu grows dramatically stronger after absorbing both the Immortal Emperor core and the Origin Crystal Core. His gravity power reaches five trillion times normal mass, and his body becomes so dense that it resembles an ordinary black stone while possessing nearly indestructible physical strength.
- He becomes increasingly confident and aggressive, showing no hesitation against Emperor-level enemies or overwhelming armies.
- Sun Yu’s combat style remains direct and physically dominant: he relies on gravity, bodily strength, speed, and the armor-piercing Destruction Demon Arm rather than elaborate techniques.
- Azi is shown to be loyal and useful as transportation, but Sun Yu recognizes the limits of the thunder dragon’s cultivation and protects it by recalling it before entering the abyss.
- The gravekeeper is established as a powerful but ultimately inadequate guardian. His ancient bronze mirror and corpse immortal army are completely overwhelmed by Sun Yu.
- The unnamed imperial carriage’s master is introduced as Sun Yu’s next major opponent, apparently possessing great authority and power within the Chaos Immortal Domain.
Significant Themes
- Overwhelming physical power: Sun Yu’s cultivation is expressed through increasingly absurd levels of gravity and bodily density, emphasizing brute force that can crush laws, magic treasures, and space itself.
- Devouring and transformation: Ancient power sources, Emperor cores, and the Origin Crystal Core are not merely treasures but fuel for Sun Yu’s continual evolution.
- Defiance of authority: Sun Yu refuses to respect titles, forbidden lands, guardians, or imperial displays. His contempt for the approaching Emperor reinforces his rebellious attitude.
- Ruins and rebirth: The Immortal Dynasty ruins, corpse immortals, ancient resentment, and the collapsed Ancient Immortal Domain all represent the remains of past powers, while Sun Yu absorbs their remnants to build a new strength.
- Limits of ancient defenses: Even supposedly invincible forbidden lands and ancient guardians cannot withstand Sun Yu’s rapidly escalating power.
Character Interactions
- Sun Yu communicates with Azi by sending the abyss’s coordinates into the thunder dragon’s consciousness and later recalls it for safety.
- The gravekeeper warns Sun Yu that trespassers must die, leading to a one-sided battle in which Sun Yu destroys the corpse army, breaks the gravekeeper’s treasure, and extracts his core.
- Sun Yu confronts the ancient resentment guarding the Origin Crystal Core and defeats it with overwhelming gravity.
- After escaping the collapsing abyss, Sun Yu is confronted by the mysterious Emperor in the bronze imperial carriage. The Emperor insults him as a lower-realm “bug” and accuses him of theft, while Sun Yu answers with mockery and an immediate attack.
