Chapter 4503 The Terrifying Abyss

"That's right.

In fact, the members of the face race don't have the ability to enter the Longevity Valley.

Despite them living in this cosmos for a long time, the holy treasure in the Longevity Valley has always been out of their reach,"

a governing god from the wood puppet race explained.

"Even a governing god may never enter this abyss and comes back alive,

and that's why the maternal tree chose you,"

another governing god from the wood puppet race added.

"Okay. I understand now,"

Austin replied, nodding his head slightly.

He had eagerly agreed to complete this task because the maternal tree of the wood puppet race was willing to exchange the holy treasure with the law of life and the mind power, which were the two core inheritances of the wood puppet race.

Without Austin's help, it was too difficult to get the holy treasure.

Even though the wood puppet race and the face race, who were both super forces, tried for many years, they still could not obtain it.

Looking ahead, Austin could see why they had had so much trouble in the past. The huge abyss at his feet was the answer.

Walking closer, Austin used his spiritual sense to examine its contents.

The abyss was so deep that it appeared bottomless, as if it was able to devour any soul that got too close.

It was like a vast, black ocean.

As Austin explored, the gnome, the Eight Stone Saints, and the eight governing gods from the wood puppet race also released their spiritual senses and joined him.

The abyss was opaque,

and even with the help of their spiritual sense, they could see nothing but darkness.

"Back up!

This abyss is strange,"

Austin warned in a loud voice.

Suddenly, a strange wave appeared at the bottom of the abyss, spreading out like ripples.

Both the gnome and the Eight Stone Saints keeled over. They clutched their chests as if their spiritual souls were about to collapse or explode.

Even the eight governing gods from the wood puppet race could not bear it, clutching onto the backs of their necks and bowing their heads.

The aura the abyss gave off was terrifying. It surged all the way from the ground to the sky, enveloping everything in between.

Puff! Puf

re.

Otherwise, their task would remain incomplete.

"Austin, this abyss is very dangerous. Are you sure you want to do this?

It's not a joke,"

the gnome said.

"I need you to trust me.

If I take you in, I will bring you out safely."

Austin nodded affirmatively.

"Come on. Let's enter the abyss now,"

Austin ordered before he approached the abyss.

Since they were still hesitant, Austin released a powerful spiritual soul energy from his mind that enveloped the Eight Stone Saints, the gnome, and the eight governing gods from the wood puppet race.

Strange waves continued to sweep out of the abyss every so often, but now that they were under Austin's protection, the others felt safe.

Austin pressed forward into the abyss and the others were forced to follow if they wanted to stay protected.

As they walked deeper, everything around them became dark. With the help of their spiritual sense, they could see small areas around them.

"Be careful. Protect your own spiritual souls.

If you don't, you will be attacked and possibly explode,"

Austin reminded them.

Boom...

The deeper they went, the more things they triggered. Soon, a terrible wave of energy surged and rumbled, spreading up from the bottom of the abyss.

The wave of energy aimed at them. It charged over and slammed against their bodies.

Crack! Crack! Crack...

Austin turned around. All bodies but his own were making crisp sounds and blood was slowly pooling.
