Path of Absolute Transcendence

Chapter 67: 67. Whispers of Echo

"The Death Abyss was not a forbidden zone before the arrival of the Abyssal Dragon. It was a normal world like any other, but the sudden arrival of the Abyssal Dragon changed the situation in the entire lower dimension.

A lot of peak powerhouses from around the world had to gather and manage to seal it.

Due to the power of the Abyss, this place became weird and it was abandoned by the Heavenly Dao.

But an Innate Treasure formed here due to the extreme conditions, and I came here to find that treasure.

I don't know if it was because of my good luck or bad luck, but I found the treasure soon.

But it attracted the greedy eyes of the Abyssal Dragon. I have become a target for it to acquire the treasure.

You might wonder why the dragon didn't simply seize the treasure. The reason lies in the treasure's own choice of owner; it did not accept the dragon. Thus, the dragon bided its time, waiting for its rightful owner to claim it. Once the treasure was claimed, the dragon intended to slay its new owner and take the treasure for itself.

I fought with the dragon since it was injured, but even though I wasn't capable enough to defeat it,

I was badly injured in the fight and had to hide using a formation. But I didn't let that dragon acquire the treasure; I broke the treasure into seven pieces at the last second and scattered them around the Death Abyss.

If you want to escape this world, you need to obtain all of the parts and remake them.

The first piece is in your hands, and the remaining pieces should be in Whispers of Echo.

After finding all of them, you can leave this place. But be aware of that dragon, since it will hunt you down the moment you merge them."

'What a weird guy.' Kai thought after he finished reading the book.

He left the place without burying his remains, but before that, he took a piece of that treasure.

'Wow, it looks simple. If that guy didn't say it was an Innate Treasure, I would think, it was just a piece of crap.' Kai thought while holding a piece.

It looks like a stone and doesn't exclude any aura of specialization. Kai injected his Will Power into it.

The fragment started to absorb his energy like a starved beast, and the black, layered shell around it started to break.

After almost exhausting his entire Will Power, it finally revealed its true appearance.

'Why does it look simple even after this?' Kai complained after seeing its appearance.

It seems the stone in his hands heard the complainant speak to its owner and sent information to him.

Kai digested all the information and opened its eyes in amazement.

'An Innate Treasure even in a broken stage, is heaven-defying.'

An innate treasure is created naturally, without the assistance of anyone. Any innate Treasure has the potential to become the strongest weapon in its category.

It also grows with the user, so theoretically, they have no limits if the owner has a high amount of talent.

Treasures are classified into Innate, Chaos and normal treasures.

Normal treasures have grades based on Tier, and their strength also depends on their Tier. Chaos Treasure is created at the beginning of Chaos, and they don't have any classification, they also grow with their user.

Both Innate Treasure and Chaos Treasure are the best of their type, whether it is a pill, medicine, or weapon.

But they are impossible to find; they are only for the destined ones.

Kai's fragment is a part of a weapon called Timeless Echo. It has a total of seven abilities, and each fragment has its ability.

It was the information given by the fragment to Kai. Innate and Chaos Treasure also have spirit, but they aren't capable of cultivating, it was more like an instinct, so there is no problem with them gaining ambition at some point.

'I should go to the 'Whispers of Echo' to find the next fragment.'

Kai decided to acquire the treasure after learning about the ability of the first fragment. It was entirely worth it for him to risk his life on this journey.

The Whispers of Echo is a forest located in the Death Abyss, and it was far away from his location; he had to travel a long time, so Kai started his journey to find the fragment immediately.

When Kai was on the journey to find the fragment, a hidden, invisible crown appeared on his head.

It glowed above his head, but Kai didn't notice any of that; he just continued traveling. It seems he wasn't aware of something like a crown on his head.

'I finally arrived at the location.' Kai stood outside in amazement.

The forest is surrounded by mist and fog. Nothing inside was revealed, giving it a mysterious feeling.

The only things that can be seen outside are the majestic trees and a tall mountain that is almost touching the skies. There are also whispers of something unknown being echoed from time to time.

The temperature near the forest is nearly cold and different from the outside. A very dangerous aura permeated outside the forest.

'Whispers of Echo is the correct name for this forest.' Kai can imagine a lot of things about this place from its name alone.

'I should go inside and find the next fragment.' Kai landed on the ground and went inside the forest.

He didn't want to fly into the forest since the sky seemed more dangerous than the land from the outside.

Kai took his fragment and started searching for the next one. The fragments can resonate with each other when they are close to each other.

'Ah, man! I need to explore another stupid place.' Kai thought in annoyance while searching.

He doesn't like searching or wandering or anything like that. But he had to do that since it was his only option to escape.

He can't always stay in the dragon's lair; what if it changes its mind and decides to eat him?

So, Kai won't relax until he finds a way to escape or has enough strength equal to that of the dragon.
