The next afternoon.
Seven people crossed the final mountain ridge, and Soulbreak Falls finally appeared before them.
Then everyone stopped in their tracks.
Leorio's jaw nearly hit the ground.
"...They call this thing a waterfall?"
His voice trembled.

But it was completely different from an ordinary waterfall.
An ordinary waterfall was water flowing off a cliff to form a curtain. Soulbreak Falls, however, was an entire thousand-meter-thick flow of water, like a gigantic wall, crashing down from the sky and connecting heaven and earth.
The amount of water pouring down every second was enough to submerge a small city.

The wind blew over from the waterfall, carrying icy moisture that struck their faces like tiny knives.
"My god..." Gon tilted his head back, his mouth wide enough to fit an egg inside. "How spectacular!"
"Spectacular, sure." Killua narrowed his eyes as his silver-white hair whipped wildly in the wind. "But how are we supposed to get past this thing? The water is a thousand meters thick. Wouldn't we be pulverized the moment we got close?"
Kurapika's Scarlet Eyes flickered faintly as he sensed the waterfall's energy fluctuations.
"The impact force of the water is roughly equivalent to five tons of pressure per square centimeter. An ordinary Nen user would last at most three seconds in the current before being crushed."
He paused.
"Moreover, the current inside the waterfall is chaotic. The impact forces from every direction are intertwined. Even
