Catastrophe Card King - Chapter 1635

Chapter 1635: Chapter 496: I Plan to Advance to Seventh Rank_2 Chapter 1635: Chapter 496: I Plan to Advance to Seventh Rank_2 These bodies of water contained dense elemental energy, so concentrated that visible “elemental rainbows” formed.

This gave Leonard Churchill and his companions a sense of indescribable vitality with every breath.

They all hailed from the East Wilderness and were not surprised by the gravitational reversals of the Abyssal Rift.

But this endless pit was different.

In the Abyssal Rift of the East Wilderness, hardly any living creature could be seen.

Yet in this pit, layers upon layers of dense, luminescent forests formed a vast ecosystem.

Looking down, layers of luminescent plants covered the rock walls, stretching deep into the abyss, exuding a mysterious aura distinctly different from that of the Cavern World.

At this moment, Leonard Churchill and his group stood at the entrance on the rock wall.

A mere ten-meter-wide entrance in this colossal underground cave seemed as tiny as an ant hole.

Feeling the intense dark elemental power in this endless cave, Bonnie and the others were immediately shocked by the sight.

“How exaggerated is the concentration of elements here… It’s several times denser than our previous camp! My God, how exaggerated would cultivation speed be here?”

“Could this be the ‘Death Domain’?”

“Gravitational inversion, along with such concentrated elements and dark energy, it should be… But isn’t the Firefly Camp still many days away from the Death Domain? How did we get here so quickly?”

“The space was twisted by the people from the Holy Church before, the perceived distance might not be real. Plus, we’ve been following the tree roots, which is essentially a shortcut. It’s not surprising.”

…

The Holy Church strictly sealed the news about the Death Domain.

But Leonard Churchill and his companions had learned detailed intelligence from the vice-captain of the Mithril Serpent Mercenary Group.

So, seeing this scene, they immediately realized that this was the treasure land secretly being explored by the high echelons of the Three Great Kingdoms–the Death Domain.

Amid their excitement, there was a deep sense of anticipation.

After all, this was a mysterious realm that even Emperor Lanlingster had risked his life to explore.

This place held secrets that could be the ultimate mysteries of this world.

The group looked down into the endless depths of the ground, facing the profound mystery that was coming towards them.

This endless abyss was not only an amazing natural wonder; it resembled a gateway to an unknown world.

But after the initial excitement, Bonnie and the others felt an indescribable fear as they looked into the abyss.

It seemed as though while they were peering into the endless abyss, something down there was peering back at them.

The group instinctively retreated, withdrawing their gazes.

Leonard Churchill felt the same way.

The fear, as if glimpsing a higher-dimensional world, stemmed from deep within the soul, an uncontrollable emotion.

Leonard Churchill withdrew his gaze and glanced at the tree roots on the rock wall, sprawling like ivy, and muttered: “Is this abyss connected to the Underworld?”

After all, Elder Clinton had just mentioned the origin of these tree roots.

Just as he was pondering, an unexpected sharp pain hit his throat, and Leonard couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of foul blood.

Despite his effort to suppress it, blood still dripped from the corner of his mouth.

Sam was the first to notice and exclaimed, “Leonard brother, are you alright?”

With that, everyone turned their attention to him, their faces filled with concern.

They knew very well that without Leonard’s remarkable skills, they might not have had the chance to be alive and talking here.

In a way, Leonard’s injuries were largely related to them.

Bonnie, the team medic, immediately saw through the dire state of Leonard’s health, her expression grave: “Leonard, your injuries are severe!”

After catching his breath, Leonard waved his hand with a smile to indicate he was fine.

These were injuries accumulated from previous battles, which he hadn’t healed to avoid overburdening his body.

Now that the formidable enemies were gone and the situation was less critical, his vitality surged, and he vomited blood.

Seeing Leonard’s nonchalant demeanor, Bonnie said: “You’re being too reckless. Even if you know the ‘Curse of Immortality,’ you can’t use it like that. At that level, I’m afraid your lifespan might…”

Listening, it sounded like a complaint but was actually care among friends.

Sophia Jones looked at him and slightly furrowed her brows.

But knowing his personality, she wanted to say something but then swallowed her words.

“It’s okay.”

Leonard was well aware that frequent use of the Curse of Immortality would shorten his lifespan; he had nearly died once before.

But not to mention that a bit of lifespan for a thrilling battle seemed worth it, this time was different.

Seeing everyone’s concern, he added, “Now that I’ve comprehended my Domain and can almost surely advance to the Seventh Rank. When that happens, my lifespan will greatly increase, so it’s not a big problem.”

Hearing “Seventh Rank,” the expressions of several officers from the Revolutionary Army brightened.

They were all at the Sixth Rank and knew very well the difficulty of reaching the demi-god threshold of the Seventh Rank.

Hearing Leonard say he could surely advance eased their worries.

Indeed, as he said, reaching the Seventh Rank was akin to becoming a “Demigod” and would dramatically extend one’s lifespan.

Still, Bonnie muttered: “But even if a Demigod’s lifespan is long, you shouldn’t use it like that…”

“Hmm.”

Leonard just smiled and didn’t linger on the topic.

He looked around and said, “This should be near the ‘Third Layer of the Mysterious Realm’ mentioned by Big Beard. Let’s change locations and go down to check it out.”

Knowing this wasn’t a place for casual chatting, everyone followed Leonard as they moved downward along the rock wall.

Looking at the perilous rock wall, which was, for humans, filled with rather spacious platforms formed by the rock crevices.
