After falling to a certain depth, Yang Yu retrieved the Machine Race Spaceship.

"Whoosh!"

"Disguise simulation, making the entire spaceship appear as ordinary meteorite fragments."

Yang Yu into the Silver Pyramid Spaceship and simultaneously gave commands to the spaceship's AI.

"Yes, Master."

The Machine Race Spaceship changed its appearance, quickly turning dark gray with an uneven surface. It looked like an ordinary meteorite fragment, inconspicuous in the Void, and then flew rapidly towards the abyss at an astonishing speed.

There is still a long distance between the Dust Layer and the Abyss World.

Even for Universe Level powerhouse, such a long distance would require several months of continuous flight.

For such a long distance, of course, we would use a spaceship to travel.

This place is close to the outside world, and the spaceship is disguised as a meteorite. The natives of the Abyss World generally dare not linger in these places, and the probability of being discovered by Wild Immortal is extremely low.

Although Yang Yu's true strength is now no less than that of the most ordinary immortals.

However, the gap between immortals is astonishing, and it is difficult to accurately judge the specific strength of an immortal based solely on their appearance. Therefore, when you first enter the Abyss World, it is best not to provoke the immortal in their true form if possible.

During the journey.

Yang Yu recalled the detailed information about the Abyss Continent once again in his mind.

"Star Fragment No. 00001, also known as the Abyss Continent, is the largest and most central continent in the Abyss World. It contains countless dangers, but also hides a great deal of opportunity."

"The Abyss Continent alone is large enough to rival several star systems. On this vast continent, countless native powerhouses have emerged, forming a unique cultivation system, cultural system, and combat civilization."

"The natives of the Abyss World deeply revere the strong. Among them, legends of powerful figures abound, some true and some false. The quest taker must explore and verify these legends on their own. Perhaps the opportunity to become stronger lies hidden within these legends!"

Several hours later.

"External Scenery Virtualization!"

"Whoosh~"

Inside the spacecraft's control room, Yang Yu looked ahead.

In the distance, an incredibly vast, almost endless continent floats suspended in the Void.

The entire continent was shrouded in Cloud Layer.

This is the Abyss Continent!

The Core Continent of the Abyss World!

"We will enter the outer Cloud Layer in half an hour," the spaceship's AI reported.

"Hmm." Yang Yu nodded slightly.

Half an hour later.

The Machine Race Spaceship, disguised as a meteorite, hovered in the clouds.

Below lies the Abyss Continent. Yang Yu's powerful eyesight even allows him to see some strange and ferocious birds Fierce Beast appearing in the far distance.

"Whoosh!"

Yang Yu out of the spaceship's hatch and then stored the Machine Race Spaceship into his World Ring.

Then he hurried forward on his own.

Several hours later.

Having traversed dozens of layers of clouds, Yang Yu arrived tens of thousands of meters above the Abyss Continent.

Then came a rapid freefall.

"Bang!"

Yang Yu, dressed in Dark Red Battle Suit, landed on a plain.

"Such a strong Abyss Aura."

Yang Yu looked around curiously.

"Such strong gravity! To live normally here, any creature would need at least Planetary Level strength, otherwise it wouldn't be able to withstand this powerful gravity."

Yang Yu looked at the desolate world around him and the atmosphere that was completely different from the outside world, and sighed.

The Abyss World.

Their origins are incredibly ancient and impossible to verify, but all the indigenous people born from the abyss share a common characteristic.

That's what it carried—an incredibly distinct Abyss Aura!

The female World Lord had previously coated Yang Yu's body with Abyss Substance carrying a rich aura, making the aura Yang Yu emitted appear genuine.

At least they won't be hunted down by the entire world's native inhabitants as soon as they enter the Abyss World.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be here to be tempered, but to be sent to their deaths.

It should be noted that on this Abyss Continent, there are countless World Lords and a great many Immortals, far exceeding the number of Immortal Expert born in an ordinary star field outside.

Perhaps this is what Abyss World's Specialty.

Although the environment here currently appears desolate and has a peculiar aura, the Cosmic Energy is very rich, and even the air contains an astonishing strengthening effect. The clarity of the laws is also quite good, so it will be much easier for natives born here to cultivate.

Even if these natives cultivate to become Immortal Expert, they will be killed if they go out unless they are willing to attach themselves to the Virtual Universe Company.

Walking across the desolate plains, Yang Yu's thoughts drifted.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, an attack came.

Its aura was quite fierce, and it was also surrounded by a strong domain power. If an ordinary Universe Level powerhouse were hit by it, the outcome would most likely be bad.

But Yang Yu merely smiled slightly, and with a flick of his Dark Red War Blade, an incredibly condensed blade light shot out, deflecting the incoming weapon.

Before arriving, Yang Yu had selected a complete set of weapons and equipment made from materials native to the Abyss World from the Virtual Universe Company's inventory.

What he was holding now was a pure metal War Blade, with a hardness comparable to Fifth-Order Force Weapon. Its shape was very similar to the Thunder Blade that Yang Yu used before, and it was very easy to use now.

"Tough nut to crack, run!"

A faint, almost imperceptible, Abyss Native Language drifted from afar.

Having already mastered most of the Abyss Language, Yang Yu naturally understood what the other party meant.

He looked at the three people fleeing ten thousand meters away.

"Snort!"

Yang Yu snorted coldly, and then a 'crude' Flying Spiritual Weapon appeared beneath his feet. With a thought, he immediately chased after the three people ahead at high speed.

"Spiritual Weapon!"

The leader, seeing Yang Yu's impressive equipment and incredible speed, exclaimed in surprise, "Split up and escape! Meet back at the usual spot!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Two voices, one male and one female, came from inside.

The three then each chose a direction to flee.

But it was too late.

Yang Yu slightly activated the Lightning Law, transforming himself into a bolt of Leidian, instantly increasing his speed a hundredfold.

The distance of 10,000 meters was covered in an instant.

"What!"

The three, who hadn't gone far, suddenly sensed something was wrong.

The next moment.

Three blade beams flew out.

"Ah!"

Three screams rang out.

These three bandits, all at the Universe Level Nine, were instantly killed by Yang Yu, their skulls pierced through.

"We've just arrived and we've already been robbed. The people of this Abyss Continent are truly kind and hospitable."

Yang Yu smiled and used his Mental Force to sweep over the three corpses.

He then used the Soul Devour Secret Technique to refine the True Spirit of the three and extract their memories.

A moment later.

"So they landed in the Fire Pattern Tribe region."

With Mental Force, the armor covering the three people's faces was ripped off.

Sure enough, these three people were about 70% similar to humans in terms of physique and appearance, but they had dark red skin with intricate patterns on it.

"The Fire Pattern Race are naturally skilled in Fire Domain and the Fire Origin Law. They are widely distributed throughout various regions of the Abyss Continent, often living in tribal communities. Unfortunately, overall, this race's potential is generally average."

A brief introduction to the Fire Pattern Race from the Virtual Universe Company flashed through Yang Yu's mind.

"It seems the Fire Pattern Race's settlement is not far ahead."

The mission information Yang Yu received was not detailed; it only provided a general overview of the most famous races among the Abyss Native and their power structures.

No further details were revealed, perhaps implying that the task was intended to train and challenge the recipients.

"The Abyss Continent is incredibly vast, and the forces on it are intricately intertwined, including tribes, empires, religions, many Freelance Martial Artists, and strange and unusual life forms."

"The Fire Pattern Race is a medium-sized race. The most powerful Fire Pattern Tribe may very well contain an Immortal, but the number of strong individuals in the other Fire Pattern Tribe is generally average. However, since Fire Pattern Race have appeared here, the area within tens of millions of miles should be within the Fire Pattern Race's sphere of influence."

Yang Yu thought to himself.

Yang Yu then examined the three Fire Pattern Race again, but found nothing of value. The leader, however, had a Space Ring containing some currency from the Fire Pattern Tribe's territory, as well as a rough map of several surrounding forces—a small gain, he thought.

Next, Yang Yu plans to explore this world thoroughly, and naturally integrating into the local environment is a good option.

After carefully storing the gold coin-shaped currency and the map, Yang Yu headed forward following the map's directions.

That was the largest Fire Pattern Tribe in the area.

To obtain precious Abyss Crystal, it would obviously be easier to go to areas where powerful local forces reside.

Not long after Yang Yu left.

"Whoosh!"

A dark shadow appeared and then disappeared.

The three Fire Pattern Race corpses also vanished along with them.

Although Yang Yu detected the dark figure with his Mental Force, the figure was merely an ordinary native creature of the Universe Level 3, resembling a wild dog, so Yang Yu didn't bother to kill it.

However, for this Fierce Beast shaped like a wild dog, the corpses of three Universe Level Nine powerhouses were a rare feast, and eating them would greatly benefit its cultivation.

On the wasteland.

Yang Yu did not fly; he simply walked on his own two feet.

The strange thing is that every time Yang Yu takes a step, he reappears several miles away.

Their walking speed alone is already comparable to the full-speed flight of those Star Level 9 natives.

In the Abyss Continent, due to the powerful gravity, only creatures that have cultivated to the Star Level can fly; those at the Planetary Level can only guarantee a normal life.

In this way, Yang Yu traveled for three days.

Only then did they leave the wilderness and arrive at a place that was noticeably more populated.

However, during this period, Yang Yu suffered 10 waves of bandits and 15 waves of abnormal creatures.

The Strongest attacker was Domain Lord Level 3, while most of the others were only at the Universe Level or Star Level.

Against such an opponent, Yang Yu wouldn't even need to lift a finger; the pressure of his will he casually unleashed would be enough to instantly kill him.

I only draw my sword occasionally when I feel the urge to test out a move.

Leaving the wasteland, Yang Yu entered an ancient forest.

In the dim light,

The place on the map called the 'Dark Forest' exudes a foul stench, a pungent smell formed from the accumulation of countless years of dead trees, rotten leaves, and corpses.

It's worth mentioning that the Abyss Continent does not have a clear distinction between day and night.

All the light comes from a giant star in the sky.

However, this star is special; its light source is not intense.

It's like the light on Earth at dusk.

As Yang Yu walked quietly through the Dark Forest among countless enormous ancient trees and bushes...

Hundreds of miles away, a colossal beast, thousands of meters long, opened its eyes. "The sweet scent of food..."

Then, the giant beast, which resembled a python but was covered with thick, dark red scales, slowly swam towards Yang Yu's location.

At the same time.

A group of hunters also appeared in another part of the forest, not far from Yang Yu's location.

"Uncle Tu, do you think we'll be able to successfully capture the 'Phantom Spirit' beast this time?" asked a boy who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, with dark red skin and flame patterns on his face.

Although he looked young, this Fire Pattern Race boy was quite strong, emanating an aura that seemed to be at the Star Level Two.

"Xiao Yu, although this Phantom Spirit Beast isn't very strong, only at the Star Level, it's extremely fast and naturally adept at hiding. Whether we can catch it depends on luck."

The middle-aged man named Huowen Tu, whose strength was at the Universe Level 3, spoke in a low voice, clearly afraid that making a commotion would attract the attention of the Fierce Beast lurking in the forest.

Due to the previous sweeps and influences by humans, the natives of the Abyss Continent also adopted the terminology for strength Planetary Level to immortal.

"Okay, uncle."

The somewhat shy, handsome young man, Huowen Yu, also spoke softly.

Meanwhile, the hunters behind them were also carefully on guard, searching for traces of the Phantom Spirit Beast.

Yang Yu, however, was leisurely observing the Dark Forest.

Here, even Yang Yu's Soul Power, Domain Lord Limit, could only cover a radius of a few hundred miles. Beyond that, he could only rely on visual observation or the detection devices hidden under his battle suit to explore.

However, Yang Yu's purpose in coming here was to hone his skills. Unless Immortal Level being appeared within a radius of 100,000 miles, the detector that Yang Yu brought would not issue a warning.

The Dark Forest is vast. Even for Yang Yu, it would take a very long time to explore it completely without releasing his Zhuliuyin Clone.

Although this forest is inconspicuous in the entire Abyss Continent, it is quite famous in the Fire Pattern Tribe, Water Pattern Tribe, and the surrounding area of the Gold Pattern Tribe.

This forest covers an area of hundreds of millions of square kilometers, and the strange races and Fierce Beast living in its core are extremely powerful.

Those who can occupy territory in the core area are at least at the World Lord Peak level.

However, the outer areas are also home to a large number of Fierce Beast of average strength, as well as a wealth of special resources.

The three tribes living in the surrounding area have continued to grow and prosper thanks to the resources of the Dark Forest.

"Uncle, look!" Huowen Yu pointed ahead in surprise, "Someone actually dares to act alone in the Dark Forest!"

"Hmm?" Huowen Tu and the other dozen or so hunting team members looked curiously at Yang Yu, who was a kilometer away.

Hearing the boy's shout, Yang Yu turned to look at him.

Just then...

"Boom!"

An incredibly swift attack hurtled toward Yang Yu's head. In the eyes of the python- Fierce Beast, only Yang Yu, who exuded the aura of Universe Level Nine, posed a threat; the Fire Pattern Tribe's hunting team was merely food.

"Finally, they've made their move." Yang Yu's lips curled slightly.

Just as this ferocious python-like Fierce Beast, at the Domain Lord Level 3, lurked within a hundred miles of Yang Yu, it was detected by Yang Yu's Mental Force.

However, the strength of Domain Lord Level Fierce Beast is quite ordinary. If the other party doesn't provoke it, Yang Yu would rarely take the initiative to kill it.

But now.

"Whoosh!"

With a swing of the dark red metal War Blade, an extremely sharp blade light sliced through countless ancient trees, carrying an incomparably fierce momentum as it slammed into the python's head, precisely hitting the python's Life Core.

"Hiss~"

The Life Core shattered, and the skull exploded.

The remaining blade energy even blasted away most of the python's corpse.

In an instant.

This Domain Lord Level Fierce Beast of thousands of miles, has already perished.

"Wow!"

Young Huowen Yu's eyes widened.

Huowen Tu and the other members of the hunting team stared in disbelief at Yang Yu, who appeared to be harmless.

The attacks of Domain Lord Level Fierce Beast were incredibly swift; the Fire Pattern Tribe's hunting team only discovered what had happened after the battle was over.

"This seemingly reckless and inexperienced youth is actually a true powerhouse?"

For a moment, Huowen Tu hesitated to approach and make contact with his opponent.

Yang Yu, who could instantly kill Domain Lord Level 'Fire Scale Snake' with a single blow, could also instantly kill all of them with a single strike!

But the young Huowen Yu didn't care about any of that and rushed straight towards Yang Yu.

Judging from his appearance, Yang Yu is a typical native of the Abyss Continent, and the aura he exudes is also very pure.

Moreover, during their eye contact just now, the young Huowen Yu could clearly sense the goodwill in Yang Yu's eyes.

"Wow, bro, are you the legendary Abyss Walker?"

The young Huowen Yu asked curiously.
