Abyss Walker

Chapter 8 The Primordial Era

Upon realizing that Yun Muhan had not stopped, he continued, "You don't actually think that the broken bead in your hand can destroy me, do you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire area around the main hall instantly turned into a dark, eerie red.

A resolute glint flashed in Yun Muhan's eyes. He could feel the powerful spiritual energy contained within the Nether Dragon Pearl, which was his strongest reliance at this moment.

He slowly raised his right hand, and the Nether Dragon Pearl in his palm emitted a faint, eerie light, which contrasted sharply with the dark red light in the coffin.

The spiritual energy fluctuations in the air became unusually intense, as if the entire space was trembling in anticipation of the impending attack.

The shaking of the coffin suddenly stopped, and everything seemed to fall into an eerie silence.

Yun Muhan's heart seemed to stop beating for a moment. His gaze was fixed on the coffin, and all his spiritual power was gathered at this moment, ready to explode at any time.

However, just as Yun Muhan stopped, the coffin shook violently again, as if something inside was struggling to break free.

Yun Muhan frowned, his anger reaching its peak at this moment. Without further hesitation, he gripped the Minglong Pearl tightly in his right hand, and all the spiritual power in his body surged into it like a tide.

"Azure Dragon - Break!" Yun Muhan shouted, his voice carrying an undeniable authority.

With his shout, the spiritual power within the Nether Dragon Pearl was fully activated, and its dark light burst forth instantly, shining like a small sun in Yun Muhan's palm.

Yun Muhan's cultivation level dropped instantly, from the peak of the Nascent Soul stage to the early Nascent Soul stage—the price he paid for unleashing this move. But his eyes showed no hesitation or regret, only determination and resolve.

Under Yun Muhan's control, the water-attribute attack transformed into a gigantic dragon shadow. The dragon's body was composed of pure spiritual energy, its scales shimmering with a cold light, and its eyes were like two burning fireballs, radiating a chilling pressure.

The dragon circled once in the air, then charged straight at the coffin with overwhelming force.

With a deafening roar, the giant dragon slammed into the coffin, the powerful impact causing cracks to appear in the ground around it.

The coffin couldn't withstand the attack and was sent flying, while the skeleton inside the coffin instantly disintegrated.

Xi Ling quickly ran up behind Yun Muhan. "Is he dead?"

"Maybe!"

Yun Muhan turned around and stroked Xi Ling with his left hand, then quickly let go and turned back to face the place where the coffin had fallen. He gripped the Minglong Pearl in his right hand warily and slowly spoke.

"Who exactly are you? How long are you going to hide?"

"Hehehe! Your physical body is not bad, a body that has achieved the path of divinity, hehehe! It's even a Ten Absolute Body. But it will soon be mine." The voice came from inside the coffin.

He was full of questions. It was true that he had achieved godhood through physical means, but where did he get the Ten Absolute Bodies? Moreover, this guy clearly wanted to possess him.

Yun Muhan thought to himself: His cultivation level is at the Nascent Soul stage, which is far too different from mine. If we were to compete in spiritual power, I definitely wouldn't be able to win. But I am a dragon.

Yun Muhan released a little of his own dragon soul, and the hand holding the Nether Dragon Pearl tightened its grip. He couldn't help but ask, "Who exactly are you? What is the Ten Absolute Physiques?"

The coffin was stunned after sensing Yun Muhan's dragon soul.

The coffin immediately thought: I have offended a terrible guy. Not only does he have a dragon soul, but he also carries a bit of imperial might.

Meanwhile, Yun Muhan's dragon soul continued to suppress the coffin, causing the already severely damaged coffin to crack instantly.

A plume of black smoke suddenly billowed out of the coffin.

A very short orc appeared before Yun Muhan. It was not even as tall as a normal person's knee and had a pair of pointed ears.

He knelt down in anguish and said, "I meant no harm. Please, Your Excellency, withdraw your imperial authority."

Yun Muhan's face was full of mockery, tinged with a slight chuckle. "Oh! Unintentional? Do you even believe that yourself?"

After speaking, the dragon soul's pressure intensified, directly condensing into a dragon shape, floating above Yun Muhan and the others.

The orc instantly coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground, but still managed to stay upright and pleaded in extreme pain, "Please spare my life, sir. I will tell you everything you want to know."

The orc knew this was his only chance to survive, and he begged for mercy desperately.

Yun Muhan still didn't understand why his cultivation level had dropped for no reason. The key was that Xi Ling had fainted, so he could only forgive him for now.

Yun Muhan put away the Nether Dragon Pearl and retrieved the Dragon Soul.

Before the orc could get up, he walked to the unconscious Xi Ling, slowly squatted down, and gently picked her up.

He turned around instantly to face the orc. The orc, who had just stood up, immediately stopped circulating his spiritual power when he saw Yun Muhan turn around.

Yun Muhan swiftly retrieved the Dragon Blade from the ring on his left hand and held it against the orc's head with his right hand.

The orc's complexion slowly returned to normal. He never imagined that the Nascent Soul stage ant he had casually picked was actually a god with a hidden realm.

Yun Muhan looked down at the orc in front of him with a puzzled expression, holding Xi Ling in his left arm and the sharp blade of his right hand against the orc's neck.

With just a light swipe, the orc's head would be severed instantly.

"Tell me, what is the Ten Absolute Techniques?"

Orc: "There are ten types of the Ten Absolute Bodies, and each type is extremely rare."

"Nonsense, I asked you what the Ten Absolute Body is, and you won't answer, huh?" Yun Muhan immediately pretended to swing the sword in his hand.

The orc was immediately terrified, thinking, "This guy looks so gentle and refined, how come he's so quick to kill?" "No, no, no, sir! I'll tell you, I'll tell you right away! Please don't kill me!"

"Then hurry up and tell me, or I'll kill you."

The orc said fearfully, "The Ten Absolute Body Techniques are divided into two categories: combat, mastery, and perception."

Slightly angry, Yun Muhan sealed the cultivation of the orc in front of him, withdrew his dragon blade, gently held Xi Ling in his arms, glanced at the overturned coffin beside him, and sat down on the coffin.

"And then? What are the other two?"

"My lord, please don't be anxious. These eight physiques are also known as the Eight Immortals Physiques." The beastman said while observing Yun Muhan's expression.

At this moment, Mu Han's inner thoughts were: The Eight Immortals? Isn't that the name from the Primordial Era? Could it be that I accidentally traveled back to the Primordial Era after jumping off the cliff?

That doesn't make sense. Time travel? Unless... the Time-Space Mirror, the Asura Mirror, and the Kunlun Mirror—the three great artifacts of time travel. However, their main abilities and the costs involved are still uncertain and cannot be determined.

According to historical records.

The first was a supreme treasure of the heavens, which had long since vanished from the world; the second and third were the same. The Asura Mirror's previous world had completely disappeared, and as for the Kunlun Mirror... it was said to be in the Kunlun Mountains, but no one had ever found it.

"The two combats refer to the Supreme Body and the Void Body. The former can greatly improve physical strength, while the latter has no spiritual energy reserves and can directly absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth." After the orc finished speaking, he glanced at Yun Muhan.

Yun Muhan stroked Xi Ling.

"continue"

"The Three Proficiencies refer to: alchemy, talisman crafting, and Gu cultivation, corresponding to the Heavenly Pill Body, Immortal Talisman Body, and Divine Gu Body. Possessing these physiques directly elevates one's skill level. However, these three physiques are extremely well-hidden and difficult to detect." The orc finished speaking and glanced at Yun Muhan with a proud expression.

"continue"

"The three senses refer to: sensing the future, sensing the world, and sensing the universe."

Yun Muhan continued to gently stroke Xi Ling and spoke as he did so.

"To sense the future is to foresee; to sense the world is to explore; what is sensed by heaven and earth, perhaps, is the true source?"

(The true source is what people often refer to as destiny.)

"Yes, sir!" the orc quickly admitted.

"What about the remaining two?"

"The remaining two are not recorded in history and have never appeared."

"So what kind of constitution do I have?"

"Your physical constitution is not recorded, but it is said that these two constitutions are used for dual cultivation, and the aura emanating from you is clearly..."

"To shut up"

Yun Muhan quickly interrupted, pressing one hand down on the orc's head and relentlessly extracting his memories.

In an instant, he acquired all the memories of the Ten Absolute Forms.

Yun Muhan: It's a pity my cultivation level isn't high enough, otherwise I could have directly acquired all of his memories. Alas, there are still some protected memories within him, and I can't just ask him to release them directly. I can't kill him yet.

"I deserve to die, but I still urge you, sir, not to kill me and spare my dog's life."

"I won't kill you, but give me a reason, or prove your other worth!" He continued to stroke Xi Ling, who was sleeping obediently on his lap.

"Little Moyu is willing to follow you, Master, for the rest of my life..."

Yun Muhan gently put Xi Ling down, then excitedly stood up and interrupted, "Your name is Mo Yu? The dog who completely annihilated the God-King? What year is it now?"
