Cultivating in the Wizard World-Chapter 216 - 197: Sea of Yin Sha

Jeming’s descent was swift.

He didn’t deliberately cast any slowing witchcraft on himself, yet even so, Jeming felt like he had been falling for a long time.

The pit created by the explosion was unimaginably deep; he estimated that he had fallen over ten kilometers before finally reaching the bottom.

However, Jeming discovered that even at this depth, the ground below continued to emit an endless stream of even purer Yin Sha Qi!

Picking up a wisp of the Yin Sha Qi and carefully feeling its flow, Jeming shook his head helplessly.

The way it drifted upward indicated that this Yin Sha Qi was still rootless.

This meant...the source of the Yin Sha Qi was even further below! 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

These ten kilometers were still just the "surface" layer!

Jeming didn’t linger; he hovered slightly above the ground and then unleashed the "Great Light Appearance" again, bombarding the rock layers below!

The Energy Bullets shot from the Talisman Witchcraft tore through the rock once more like a drill.

He repeated this process several times, each time penetrating several kilometers, but Jeming still could not find the source of the Yin Sha Qi.

No matter how far he bombarded downward, the Yin Sha Qi kept surging relentlessly from deeper within, like a bottomless pit!

This sent a chill down Jeming’s spine, making his hair stand on end!

Because this meant that even the terrifying Yin Sha Qi surging upward was merely a small fraction emanating from the "source"!

How massive must that source be?

How terrifying?

The immense pressure and unknown fear gradually replaced the curiosity that initially filled Jeming’s heart with a bone-chilling sensation.

Yet he was somewhat "intoxicated" by it.

This unprecedented situation aroused the ultimate curiosity and desire for exploration in him as a wizard and seeker!

He repeated the process of bombing, descending, bombing again, and descending again, unsure of how long it lasted.

The surrounding temperature kept dropping, and the Yin Sha Qi grew thicker, so much so that even with the protection of the "Profound Gang Red Dust Barrier," Jeming felt his body vaguely uncomfortable!

The biting cold around him felt like tangible knives, slicing at his skin, making even his consciousness begin to sluggishly dull.

Finally, when he had descended to a depth where his body felt it was nearing its limit, Jeming noticed something different.

Here, the Yin Sha Qi no longer just surged upward completely.

It became denser and slightly more sluggish.

This indicated that he was extremely close to the source of the Yin Sha Qi.

Jeming’s heart trembled, and he immediately increased the output of the "Great Light Appearance," blasting through the last stone wall obstructing his vision and path.

Boom...

With the collapse of the stone wall, an immeasurably cold surge of Yin Sha Qi swept over him with an overwhelming force, as if a giant beast had awakened from the ancient abyss!

Jeming’s body was instantly blown away by this force.

When Jeming regained his balance, he realized he seemed to have arrived at a vast...hollow!

Of course, this hollow was merely what other living beings would perceive.

"What...the hell is this?!!" Jeming couldn’t help but exclaim.

In the view of Jeming’s True Essence-powered eyes, before him was not any so-called "hollow," but an ever-churning "Sea of Evil Qi" composed of extremely pure and intensely condensed Yin Sha Qi!

This "Sea of Evil Qi" was vast and magnificent; Jeming couldn’t fathom its depth.

As for the final boundary, Jeming couldn’t estimate it, knowing only that with his eyesight, he could barely see new Yin Sha Qi continuously forming from the transformation of older Yin Sha Qi in the far distance.

The entire "ocean" was pure black, not like ink, more like the void of the universe that absorbs all light.

This "sea" had no waves, yet it continuously churned, boiled, and spun, emitting a silent roar.

Countless tiny black silhouettes appeared and vanished within this Sea of Evil Qi, as if they were manifestations of this deathly force, or perhaps the wails of countless soul fragments it had absorbed.

Here, the concentration of Yin Sha Qi was unimaginably high, having even solidified completely into tangible matter!

It no longer resembled gas; instead, it was like a viscous black liquid, even forming visible swirling masses of mysterious blackness with eerie iridescence that drifted past Jeming.

Jeming couldn’t help but ascend a bit higher.

This level of Yin Sha Qi, even the mere aura emanating from it, was enough to cause him discomfort.

Jeming could feel the "Profound Gang Red Dust Barrier" around him trembling; merely brushing against these diffused auras caused the Gang Sha Qi on its surface to grow explosively.

But due to such rapid growth, the Profound Gang Red Dust Barrier became unstable.

The absorption and defensive capabilities of the Profound Gang Red Dust Barrier had their limits, and even without direct contact, merely "touching" this level of Yin Sha Qi could pierce through its defense in an instant.

Even without direct contact, staying here too long would erode him with this dense Yin Sha Qi!

Put bluntly, with Jeming’s current cultivation level too low, he wasn’t even qualified to tangibly interact with this Yin Sha Qi.

If he dared to recklessly attempt it, he might be corroded by this terrifying Evil Qi in the next second, reduced to nothing but a puddle of blood.

If before truly witnessing this "Sea of Evil Qi," Jeming still harbored all sorts of speculations about the source of the Evil Qi.

Then after truly seeing this suffocatingly magnificent Sea of Evil Qi with his own eyes, Jeming became all the more baffled!

Such a scale, such a concentration, far exceeded the limits of what any "war relic" could produce.

This made him begin to doubt what kind of event beyond his comprehension had occurred in this plane to create such a terrifying sight?!

To form a sea of evil qi like the one before him, not only would the number of dead creatures far exceed imagination, but the formation time might also need to trace back hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of years!

Moreover, the level of the deceased creatures likely far surpassed that of the Magma Giant and Yeti!

Seeing the Yin Sha Qi still constantly increasing, and feeling the intensifying fluctuations within as he delved deeper, Jeming felt a stabbing pain in his soul.

It was a sensation of extreme oppression, an illusion of imminent collapse.

He knew he couldn’t stay here much longer, as lingering would only cause permanent damage to himself.

Despite being filled with awe and reluctance, Jeming displayed a wizard’s extreme calmness and decisiveness.

He no longer lingered greedily, nor did he make any extra attempts to investigate.

Jeming abruptly turned around, speeding towards the surface along the same path he came from!
