Damn it! Let's smash the darkness together!-Chapter 587 - 158: Madman, Chaos, Sea (First Update, Seeking Monthly Pass)

"You left the limit of the Abyss, you charged into the dark passageway."

"In an instant, your consciousness was shattered."

"Here lies great terror, indescribable."

"You felt your body being torn apart, yet without pain;"

"Your thoughts were sliced and diced, unable to solidify again;"

"The space around you was reversing, even time had stopped!"

"Your resilient Ming King’s Dharma Body crumbled to dust without a struggle, only to continuously reconsolidate, cycling endlessly, thriving unabated."

"Your will became chaotic, your thoughts forcibly stripped away, your life reached its instant end but was eternally frozen at this moment, unable to regress, nor advance!"

"You haven’t died, for you could no longer perceive any boundary between life and death; you were trapped, sealed here, forever unable to break free."

"You were extremely frightened, but even the concept of fear had slipped away; you thought of suicide, of escaping through death, but that idea too was taken from you, and you could not die."

"Perhaps time could solve everything, but as the Rashamon Ming King, you didn’t know how many years you could live, and if you were to be trapped here for a lifetime, that might drive you into madness."

"Just the thought of falling into madness was driving you truly mad, but fortunately, this place was fair, and even the thought of madness was taken from you."

"You didn’t know what to do, but you didn’t know that you didn’t know, you didn’t know that you didn’t know you didn’t know, your thought processes kept splitting, endlessly, your talents also shattered and chaotically dispersed."

"Within a realm devoid of the concepts of time and space, at some instant, your body suddenly disintegrated."

"You were torn to pieces, shattered into countless tiny particles, but you were not scared, instead, you were ecstatic."

"Because you felt yourself falling, you felt intense pain, you regained your senses! Regained your consciousness!"

"Hahaha, I’ve made it out! I’ve made it out!" you laughed like a madman, successfully traversing the time-space turbulence, and at the same time, you understood what you had experienced before."

"—It was annihilation, it was chaos!"

"The passageway contained more than just time-space turbulence; it was a place of disorder, a place of exile, where everything inside would be annihilated."

"Those skeletons in the passageway, they too were trapped in endless darkness and solitude before their deaths, just like you, their wills endlessly splitting."

"Why was this so? Had they truly died?"

"Because that was not a passageway, that was an abode of chaotic void, the bottommost prison of darkness!"

"You almost became a prisoner trapped in the darkness and chaos; it was supposed to be like this, but, fortunately, one of your shattered and scattered talents ’Scavenger’ by chance picked up a stray thought, and this thought just happened to come from an immensely powerful being, the will enveloped within it also happened to be: escape."

"It was just that lucky, it made sense."

"You escaped."

"Fuck!"

A big puddle of "Xu Shu" emerged from the void, falling straight onto the ground.

While he restored his body through "Flesh Ascension", he gasped for breath, his face utterly pale.

He was genuinely a bit scared!

Frankly speaking, having experienced so many legends, Xu Shu encountered true fear for the first time within a legend.

The Rashamon Ming King didn’t know how long he could live; what if he had to survive for thousands of years? Wouldn’t he be trapped in the legend for thousands of years?

This chaos and darkness, isn’t it too terrifying?

Thank goodness I have the Tai Chu Scroll, no matter what kind of demons or monsters, as long as I return to reality, only eight hours will have passed.

This is the confidence the Tai Chu Scroll gives me!

Xu Shu patted his chest, looking around him.

This was an endless wasteland.

It had a stone-paved ground, but rotten and sparse, without wrinkles, very smooth.

It had meandering rivers, but withered and filthy, without flowing water, full and dense.

These dried riverbeds divided the land into countless pieces, with countless bifurcations branching off toward the distance, and it was impossible to tell where the boundaries lay.

There was a huge planet-like sun in the sky, but it was black, with a halo around it.

I should not look directly at it, because when Xu Shu glanced at it, his eyes exploded.

He hurriedly restored his eyes while starting to think.

What did I come here for?

Oh right, to find the ruler of the Abyss!

This is the 19th layer of the Abyss, the ruler of the Abyss, as rumored, is here. I want to challenge him, attempting to advance to a higher realm.

"Motherfucker, I don’t know how long I was trapped in the black hole, almost forgot!"

Xu Shu rubbed his head, looking for clues.

But he didn’t need to look, because as he turned around, he saw someone standing behind him.

This was a monk-looking humanoid creature; Xu Shu couldn’t tell whether They were male or female.

Their features were both delicate and resolute, Their figure both alluring and sharp, Their attire was...

They had no attire.

Another monk? Could They be the one who left the scriptures behind? An ancestor of this world’s Demon race?

Xu Shu, although muttering to himself, honestly spoke up, "Are you the ruler of the Abyss? It seems there’s no need to fight, I can’t beat you. I would like to ask you some questions."

Indeed, there was no need to fight. Considering the other’s capabilities, Xu Shu was clear, he was definitely not a match.

It was better to be honest and ask some questions, maybe something could broaden his horizons.

"I am not the ruler of the Abyss, this should be what you call the ruler of the Abyss." The monk took out a basin-sized, bloody eyeball from Their sleeve and said.
