Overriding the Heaven

After departing from the King's Manor, Chu Yan rode his Spirit Boat and flew northwest.    

The further they flew, the less vegetation there was on the ground, revealing a large area of bare bluish-gray rocks.    

Two days later, the space between heaven and earth became vast. As far as the eye could see, it was filled with boundless rocky terrain.    

At this moment, the sandstorm grew in size.    

From time to time, Chu Yan would see tornadoes that pierced the sky and pierced the earth. They were dozens of miles in diameter and could move mountains and rivers.    

Amidst the raging winds, there were hundreds of millions of tons of sand and stones rolling about. Everywhere they passed, a layer of the ground would be grinded away.    

Even the protruding mountains would be ground to the ground in an instant.    

And because there was no water or vegetation, the temperature difference between day and night was huge.    

At the hottest time of the day, it was like a furnace.    

After placing a piece of meat outside, it would ripen and turn into roasted meat within the time it takes to take a few breaths. In a moment, it would be reduced to charcoal.    

At night, it would become extremely cold, like a glacier.    

No matter how thick a mortal's clothes were, standing there, in the blink of an eye, he would be frozen into an ice sculpture.    

For several generations of Kong Xian's family members to be able to lead troops to guard a region and even defeat a Demon Dweller and kill their leader in such an extreme environment, the amount of effort they had expended could be imagined.    

It was for this very reason that the attitude of the Imperial Clans toward him right now caused her heart to grow colder and colder.    

Fortunately, the emperor of the Precious Appearance Kingdom still had trust in the Kong Family.    

However, Chu Yan was clear that this kind of trust and protection also had a time limit.    

Once the Kong Family didn't reveal their new use for the imperial family in the following period of time, and also because they were too close to the Heaven's Edge Sect, the Emperor's trust would be slowly worn away.    

In the end, all the trust was gone.    

And with Kong Xian's power level, it was not enough to intimidate the other party. Just with his identity as a Heaven's Edge Sect disciple, it would be difficult for him to protect his entire family.    

Chu Yan had experienced betrayal before, so he could feel the pressure on Kong Xian more than anyone else.    

With that in mind, Chu Yan continued to move forward.    

After half a day, a huge crevice appeared in the distance. It connected the north and south as if the earth was opening its huge mouth. The end could not be seen at first glance, and it appeared within Chu Yan's line of sight.    

This fissure in the ground was hundreds of kilometers wide. Just looking at it from above would cause one's scalp to go numb, and their heart to go cold with fear.    

Chu Yan focused and looked down from above.    

He didn't know how deep the crack was, so he couldn't see what was at the bottom.    

According to the map that Kong Xian gave him, he had led the army to the entrance of the crevice, which was a few dozen miles ahead.    

Thus, Chu Yan kept his Spirit Boat and flew forward in the sky.    

Cultivators who had just advanced to the celestial mood stage would need to consume a large amount of Spiritual Qi to fly, so even if they could fly on their own, under normal circumstances, they would still use the power of flight magical equipment.    

However, the spiritual energy in Chu Yan's body was vigorous and endless, and there was no such problem.    

As a result, he flew directly into the sky and continued downwards. Not long after, he saw traces of battles between large armies on the ground.    

If there were tens of people, and if there were hundreds of people fighting, then it was very likely that they would be wiped out in a single downpour.    

However, a battlefield where hundreds of thousands or even millions of soldiers fought day and night for hundreds of thousands of days could possibly last for hundreds of years.    

At this moment, Chu Yan was looking at a battlefield that still reeked of iron and blood.    

Due to the extreme weather here, the corpses on the battlefield had already turned into mud.    

However, it was still clear which were the Saber Axe, Weapon, Armored Soldiers, or even the flagpole of the war chariot.    

The floor was covered in a thick layer that stretched out to who knew how much.    

Standing on the stage and listening to the whistling of the wind, he could not help but feel fear and depression in his heart. He was afraid that at the next moment, a vengeful spirit would come out to take his life.    

However, Chu Yan was not that worried. Not only that, the current scene here also helped verify one thing for Chu Yan.    

That was where he was now. He was told by Kong Xian that many years ago, he led his army to defeat the demon dwellers and established a winning battle.    

From here, they were less than 50 kilometers to the west, at the entrance of the underground crevice.    

Chu Yan flew forward.    

The underground crevice got closer and closer. When Chu Yan got closer, he could feel a bone-piercing darkness and chilliness gushing out from the crevice.    

It was clearly noon, and the sun was shining brightly. The surroundings were hot enough to melt gold and turn it into iron.    

However, the area several miles around the fissure was covered in ice.    

This ice seemed as if it wouldn't melt in tens of thousands of years; it was as solid as steel.    

Chu Yan saw a piece of ice that looked like a hammer that Kong Xian had reminded him to do.    

This solid block of ice was too obvious. It was almost three stories high, and could be seen from afar.    

"This is the place." Chu Yan landed on the ground and walked into the crack beside the ice.    

Although there was only a thin line separating the inside of the fissure, it was still like two different worlds.    

No matter how vile the environment outside was, it still held light.    

But in the crevice, it was pitch black.    

Furthermore, the deeper one went, the darker it became. It was as if it had been dyed with thick ink.    

The moment Chu Yan walked in, he felt the darkness surrounding him surging towards him like a tide.    

Physiologically and psychologically, the combination of pressure made it difficult to breathe. At this moment, it was as if his soul was being squeezed into a piece of paper and turned into a wandering soul within the universe.    

At this moment, Chu Yan finally understood what Kong Xian meant when he said that a normal person turned into a lunatic and an idiot in the blink of an eye.    

However, his will was firm. Not to mention this trifling darkness, even in an environment that made people despair, he still stayed there peacefully for a year.    

"Compared to the Abyss Demon Prison, you still have a long way to go." Chu Yan let out a cold snort. His feet left the ground as he flew deeper into the crevice.    

The light outside the crevice was getting further away from him.    

At first, it was a piece, then it became a thin line. When Chu Yan went deeper, the light that was as thin as a hair also disappeared.    

Chu Yan did not stop at all.    

In fact, the current darkness had no effect on his eyesight.    

Ordinary people might not be able to see their own fingers when they looked at it, but to him, it was no different than normal people.    

As he went deeper, Chu Yan noticed that the environment inside the crevice also changed.    

At the beginning, it was a smooth path.    

The ground around him was also smooth and neat.    

As they went deeper, the ground began to change. It was like a stack of waves, rising and falling.    

Further in, stalagmites began to appear.    

After that, the stone forest appeared.    

The rocks that formed the stone forest were strange and of different shapes. They were twisted and twisted, giving off a feeling of imagination while at the same time giving off a sinister feeling. It made one feel that they were terrifying and couldn't help but take a few more glances.    

At this moment, Chu Yan also started to find a few ores that rarely appeared on the ground.
