# Chapter 883: The Girl in the Abyss (Part 2)
Yun Che had no idea which direction he was heading, nor what lay ahead. The only thing he could do was fly with all his might, because once he stopped, death would close in.
The oppressive pressure behind him grew increasingly terrifying, and the sounds were drawing nearer. Just then, a sharp screech pierced down from above, and this screech completely drowned out the sound of the dark beast that had been chasing him earlier. An even more fearsome, even closer dangerous aura descended from above, approaching at a horrifically rapid pace.
What was that? Such terrifying speed!
Yun Che's heart was filled with alarm, because the speed of this dark beast approaching from the air was at least two to three times that of the previous one!
If Mo Li were here, she would have instantly recognized it as the ancient calamity beast—the Calamity Glass Bird! When she had arrived here, she too had been attacked by a Calamity Glass Bird.
Such speed was undoubtedly a horrific nightmare for Yun Che.
The considerable distance that had originally existed was rapidly closed in just over ten breaths under the Calamity Glass Bird's terrifying speed.
"Caw!!!"
The screech behind him suddenly became extremely shrill, and this sound jolted Yun Che's entire body awake... because judging from the sound, the distance between him and the dark beast pursuing him from the air was a mere dozen miles!
The moment this screech rang out, the dangerous aura behind him transformed in an instant into a deathly aura that sent chills through Yun Che's entire body.
The Calamity Glass Bird, now less than fifteen miles away, folded its wings and then suddenly swung them down. In an instant, a dark gale swept up, rolling through the space ahead with earth-shaking howls. Wherever the dark storm passed, even the dark space that the Primordial Mystic Ark could not traverse was churned into twisted vortices.
The moment the dark storm struck, Yun Che felt as if he had suddenly fallen into the abyss of death... He knew very well that if he were caught in that dark storm, even a slight touch would instantly shred him into dark powder.
Yun Che's gaze was dark and gloomy as he desperately pushed his speed to its absolute limit. Although his speed was already astonishingly fast, the death storm behind him was still getting closer and closer...
No good... at this speed, death is certain!
Sss!!
Yun Che gritted his teeth fiercely, a ferocious light flashing in his eyes. With a low roar, he forcibly activated the 【Heaven-Shattering】 Realm Gate.
Bang!!
A storm of profound force violently exploded from Yun Che's body, and his profound aura instantly turned crimson red. Under the surge of profound aura that had multiplied several times, his speed shot up abruptly, violently tearing through the darkness...
Whoosh—Boom————
The death storm slammed into the ground behind Yun Che, pulverizing the dark soil—which was countless times tougher than profound steel—into countless fragments. The space became riddled with holes in an instant.
After the horrifying destructive force erupted, the residual waves of power spread outward across dozens of miles of space...
Yun Che, who had forcibly opened the 【Heaven-Shattering】 Realm Gate to escape his deadly predicament, had not even had time to catch his breath when an extremely dangerous aura pounced at him from behind. His pupils contracted sharply. Without looking back, he instinctively opened the Evil God Barrier.
Bang!!
The aftermath of the death storm swept across Yun Che's back.
It was merely the scattered residual force, whose power compared to the storm's center could only be described as "weak." But even this "weak" residual force was a terrifying disaster for Yun Che.
With a thunderous roar, his Evil God Barrier shattered instantly, and his entire body was sent flying sideways at a speed even faster than his own maximum velocity. He flew for seventeen or eighteen miles before crashing heavily to the ground.
"Cough... cough... cough..."
Yun Che propped himself up with his arms, painfully raising his body, spitting out over a dozen mouthfuls of scarlet blood.
After fully obtaining Feng Xue'er's Phoenix primal yin, his strength had skyrocketed, placing him at the very peak of the current era. Apart from Xuanyuan Wentian, Xiao Yaohou, and Feng Xue'er, no one was a match for him.
But in this terrifying dark abyss, he was like a tender child who had mistakenly wandered into a demon's territory—so fragile that a single touch could mean death.
Just the distant residual wave of power, which had only spread from afar, had nearly taken half his life... and that was even with the Evil God Barrier activated.
Yun Che had no time to ponder what kind of ghostly place this was. He stood up, stumbling forward... Forcibly opening Heaven-Shattering had already dealt considerable damage to his entire body, and before he could recover, he had suffered such terrible injury. But he had to stand up, because stopping meant death.
"Cough... cough..."
Yun Che pressed his hand against his chest. The intense pain from his internal organs told him that most of his five viscera and six bowels were ruptured. His steps were already extremely difficult. If there had been light here, one would have seen a long trail of blood behind him wherever he stepped.
I... cannot die yet...
His steps were heavy, his injuries so severe that he could no longer gather enough energy to fly. Even his consciousness began to blur. After moving forward a few dozen steps, he finally sensed something unusual and slowly turned around.
The terrifying beast roars and earth-shaking footsteps from behind had all vanished without a trace.
The dangerous aura that had been enveloping him was also gone.
What's going on?
Had his consciousness become so blurred that he couldn't perceive them?
Of course, this was not an illusion on Yun Che's part. Dozens of miles away, the profound beasts that had been chasing Yun Che had all come to a halt, their roars ceasing entirely. Not one dared to take another step forward.
As if the area ahead was an absolute forbidden ground they could not touch.
Yun Che did not know what had happened behind him. He moved forward through the darkness. After walking for who knows how long, just as his body was about to collapse, he suddenly grabbed hold of a hard wall.
After fleeing for a long time through the unknown open space, he had finally touched something solid other than the ground.
Finding a support, Yun Che leaned against the wall and began gasping heavily. By now, he was certain that the abrupt cessation of the profound beasts' pursuit behind him was not due to blurry senses.
Without time to investigate the reason, he calmed his aura for a moment and was about to sit down to heal his wounds. Just then, the corner of his eye caught a glimmer of purple light.
Yun Che's heart jolted. He quickly turned his head, his gaze locking onto it... It was not an illusion. Somewhere far ahead, there was indeed a trace of purple radiance.
The light was very faint, and in this world of endless darkness, its presence was extremely unusual.
"Light...!"
Yun Che muttered subconsciously.
He abandoned the idea of healing, supporting himself against the wall, dragging his heavily injured body and heavy steps, and straining toward the direction of the purple light. He was not driven by curiosity, but because in this terrifying dark world, a glimmer of light was a dazzling beacon of hope!
As he walked, the purple light grew closer and brighter in his sight. Gradually, Yun Che sensed a strange sense of familiarity from the purple light.
This purple light... I must have seen it before!
What could it be?
Yun Che panted heavily, forcing his steps to quicken. After walking a great distance further, the purple light seemed to be very close. The wall he had been supporting suddenly bent inward.
His body passed the corner of the wall, and he froze on the spot.
What appeared before him was a world filled with eerie purple light.
Countless strange flowers swayed in the purple light. Deep purple stems and leaves bore blooms proudly in full flower, each petal like flowing purple jade, emitting bright purple radiance and faintly scattering pale purple mist that seemed to come from the netherworld.
All the purple light in this space came from these purple demon flowers.
In this terrifying dark world, even Yun Che's flames could only illuminate less than thirty yards. Yet these demon flowers, though clearly far away, were completely clear in their entirety, as if they were right before his eyes. The light they emitted was not buried by the darkness at all.
Yun Che stood there dumbfounded, as if turned to stone.
These purple demon flowers—they were unmistakably Netherworld Brahma Flowers!!
Back then, he and Mo Li had spent a full seven years searching the Slay Moon Demon Cave for traces of Netherworld Brahma Flowers. Mo Li had also said that should be the only one in this plane.
And now, right before his eyes, tens of thousands of Netherworld Brahma Flowers were blooming, forming a massive sea of Netherworld flowers.
It was as if he had stepped from a black world of death into a purple netherworld space.
But the Netherworld Brahma Flower was not only incomparably enchanting; its most special and terrifying quality was... soul-seizing!!
Although Yun Che was still far from this sea of flowers, he was bathed in the purple light of tens of thousands of Netherworld Brahma Flowers. Combined with his severe injuries, his vision, fixed on the flower sea, quickly blurred, and his pupils dilated rapidly without his awareness.
Yun Che quickly became alert, but it was too late. He wanted to retreat, but he could barely feel his body anymore. His vision and consciousness were blurring at an alarming rate.
Back in the Slay Moon Demon Cave, Yun Che had personally experienced the terror of the Netherworld Brahma Flower, and he knew all too well the terrible consequences of having his soul seized—it was essentially no different from complete death.
He bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, regaining a bit of clarity, but his out-of-control body quickly went limp and began to collapse.
No... I must not lose consciousness.
Yun Che gritted his teeth desperately, but his injuries were too severe, and his struggle seemed pitifully futile. Through his blurring vision, he suddenly saw a silver figure slowly emerge from the purple flower sea.
"Ah..." Yun Che's whole body had already collapsed to the ground. He strained to widen his eyes, staring at the silver silhouette...
It seemed to be a human figure, and a very petite one, as delicate as Hong'er. The silver he saw was the radiance emitted by her long hair, while her body was covered in a layer of luminous white light.
She drifted over slowly, her feet not touching the ground, but her silver hair dragged long behind her.
His consciousness grew fainter and fainter, his hazy vision barely able to distinguish outlines and colors. Yun Che's eyes closed again and again, each time he forced them open. Every time his vision returned, he found that the figure from the flower sea was a little closer to him.
The last time he strained to open his eyes, what he saw was a pair of eyes right in front of him—eyes so gorgeously incredible that they defied belief.
Eyes that seemed to be releasing a rainbow of light.
"You... are... who………"
Yun Che's voice came out as faint as a mosquito's buzz, then his vision turned pale white, followed by darkness, and his consciousness sank into complete oblivion.
