Chen Rui stepped onto the crystal bridge and crossed the Ice Sea step by step.
The crystal bridge did not end at the shore, but stretched all the way into the depths of the Nightmare Plain.
The abyssal aura of the Nightmare Plain was ten times denser than that of the Ice Sea. Any ordinary Kingdom-level powerhouse would suffocate under the crushing pressure within seconds in such a terrifying environment.
Lava flowed everywhere. The mountains and forests of old had long since become scorched earth where not a blade of grass could grow. Countless Abyss Flowers floated upon the lava, while enormous abyssal Broodmothers stood tall.
Around the Broodmothers were countless blood cocoons they had spawned. From afar, the densely packed cocoons resembled an ocean, stretching almost beyond sight.

The Broodmothers then continued producing batch after batch of new blood cocoons. This was why the abyssal army was inexhaustible.
The abyssal monsters did not attack Chen Rui, as though this enemy did not exist at all. This was because of the control of the abyssal will—the true source of all abyssal power.
