Path of Absolute Transcendence

Chapter 58: 58. Death Abyss

Kai's POV

DEATH ABYSS

It is a place that is abnormally quiet, but it doesn't represent peace; instead, it was calm before the storm. The skies of the place are red instead of normal blue.

There is no sun in the abyss, and only a red moon is slowly rotating in the sky.

It was a desolate place that was abandoned by the heavens. There is no sane life form in this place; all the living creatures here are bloodthirsty and only carved for killing.

A sudden battle might occur at any place for no reason. It is called Death Abyss because of that reason.

In such a place, a young man with fair skin and beautiful blue hair lay in such a desolate place.

The young man was Kai, who fell from the crack. He fainted after he fell from the space crack and was only alive due to his [Evergreen] talent.

Most of his bones are broken due to the sudden appearance of a space storm, and the poison is slowly devouring his life.

Kai's finger lightly moved for the first time in a week. His body started to twitch after that, and he slowly came to consciousness.

'What happened to me?' Kai thought about his situation after he woke. He moved his hand without awareness of injuries due to regular practice.

*AHHHH*

'What the fu**?'

He screamed in pain after moving his hand. Most of his bones are crushed, and a lot of them are damaged to an unimaginable level. His sudden movement caused him pain all over his body.

Kai calmed down after some time and slowly thought about the situation. He recalled everything that happened to him and realized his situation.

'I never thought that the Heavenly Dao would set the trial like this.' He thought that the three trials would be like facing some kind of unimaginable enemy, but he didn't expect it to involve scheming.

'I thought that the Heavenly Dao couldn't interfere with the lives of people.'

Kai's thought is correct; the heavenly dao cannot interfere in the lives of people at normal times. But it can interfere in some special cases, like Kai's trial.

The first trial started the moment that the heavenly dao chose to help Anna.

"First, I should find a place to heal myself, and at least I passed the first trial," Kai muttered in relief.

But he didn't know that the trail didn't end; it would only end after he left this place successfully. The reason Kai appeared in such a place is also because of Heavenly Dao.

The moment that Kai chose to escape from Anna using the explosion talisman, the heavenly dao placed a bad luck curse on him, which caused a space storm to appear. The probability of a space storm appearing during travel in space is one in a trillion, but the curse of Heavenly Dao made it possible.

'Somehow, I need to move from this place and find a good hiding spot.' Kai is now on open ground without any defense. Any beast or dryad can kill him without any trouble; the only reason he survived is because of his bad luck.

You may ask the question, Why did he survive because of bad luck? He will soon realize that.

Kai tried absorbing Qi in the air to accelerate his healing process, but it didn't happen as he thought.

Seeing something wrong with the situation, Kai immediately used Will Power to check the surroundings.

'What's wrong with my shitty luck?' Kai cursed after finding out the reason. He didn't find the presence of Qi in this place. Instead, he found an ominous dark red energy, but he didn't absorb it since he felt mortal danger from it.

His decision to avoid absorbing the energy is correct because the energy is called Death Abyssal Energy, and only saint realm cultivators can harness such energy. His body would explode, unable to endure the volatile nature of the energy.

Kai slowly started to crawl out of his place. His legs became useless, and he was only capable of using his left hand to move.

He wasn't even able to lift his head for a long time. He started moving at a snail's pace, but after five minutes, he wasn't able to hold back and stopped it.

'No, I cannot move mindlessly in my condition. I should prioritize healing in the first place.' Kai abandoned the idea of finding a safe place at this moment and started actively absorbing the wood elements from the surroundings.

'Why is the presence of wood elemental energy very low here?' Kai thought about the reason after using his Will power to check.

The wood elemental energy is very low in his location, but it isn't supposed to happen. A location can have a high amount of elemental energy compared to other locations, but it must have a minimum amount of elemental energy.

The balance of five elements is required for the stability of any world, but the wood elemental energy is below the minimum level, which causes an imbalance between the elements.

'So, this place is an unstable place that may collapse at any time.' Kai soon concluded.

'I didn't expect to appear in such a dangerous place.'

Kai moved a little and found a bush for him to hide in. He got inside the bush, covered himself, and eliminated his presence to avoid getting caught in the eyes of the predator.

He started absorbing the wood element to heal the injuries. The amount of wood energy isn't enough for him to heal his bones, but if he doesn't heal, he won't be able to move and will die soon.

The wood elemental energy slowly started to heal the damaged parts of his body, but the process was very slow. If the process continues at this rate, it will take him more than ten years for himself to get back to peak condition. He didn't even dare to imagine how long it would take to get back to peak condition.

The only thing that comforts him is that the process didn't cause any pain; on the contrary, it gave him a comfortable feeling.
