Chapter 821: Death God's Graveyard

"Yes, the Absolute Cloud Cliff is located in the Langhuan Mountain Range in the southeast of Cangyun Continent. The Langhuan Mountain Range lies on the border between Fusu Nation and Nantian Nation, another country in Cangyun, with Fusu to the north and Nantian to the south."

Yun Che's memories of the Cangyun Continent were still very clear. After all, he had only left seven years ago.

"Jasmine, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly asking about the Absolute Cloud Cliff?" Yun Che's brows furrowed deeply. Over the years, he had sporadically recounted his experiences on the Cangyun Continent to Jasmine, telling her how he had been pursued by countless powerful sects in Cangyun, forced to the edge of the Absolute Cloud Cliff, and rather than be killed, had forcefully swallowed the Sky Poison Pearl before leaping to his death.

He wasn't surprised that Jasmine mentioned "Absolute Cloud Cliff," as he had told her it was the highest and most treacherous cliff on the Cangyun Continent. Jasmine's divine sense must have detected it as the highest cliff, and the name "Absolute Cloud Cliff" she had learned from him naturally came to mind. However, what he couldn't ignore was Jasmine's reaction when she opened her eyes.

"...The aura there is somewhat abnormal," Jasmine murmured softly.

"Abnormal?"

Jasmine turned to face him, her tightly furrowed brows never relaxing. "Tell me everything you know about the Absolute Cloud Cliff in detail."

Yun Che pondered for a moment before replying, "The Absolute Cloud Cliff is considered the foremost of the Cangyun Continent's Four Death Zones. Once you fall into it, survival is impossible. No matter how powerful one is, no one who has fallen into the Absolute Cloud Cliff has ever returned alive. That's why it's also known as the 'Graveyard of Death Gods.' Its perilous reputation is known to everyone on the Cangyun Continent, so very few people dare to approach it. Back then, I was pushed to the brink and, resigned to death, fled towards the edge of the Absolute Cloud Cliff."

"So, no one has ever seen the bottom of the Absolute Cloud Cliff?" Jasmine mused softly.

"Never," Yun Che confirmed with a nod. "That's why the Absolute Cloud Cliff is called the 'Graveyard of Death Gods.' Normally, at the Sky Profound or Emperor Profound realm, even if an abyss is tens of thousands of feet deep, one could descend safely along the cliff face to the bottom. At the Divine Sovereign level, even a direct leap wouldn't result in death by falling. However, many powerful individuals in the history of the Cangyun Continent have attempted to explore the bottom of the Absolute Cloud Cliff, including those at the Sovereign and Tyrant Emperor levels, but once they descended, none ever returned alive. Later, three Divine Sovereigns also went down the cliff, but likewise, no further news of them was ever heard. Since then, no one has dared to attempt exploring the Absolute Cloud Cliff."

Jasmine remained silent.

"What exactly is going on?" Yun Che pressed again.

Jasmine didn't answer. Instead, she asked in a low voice, "After you jumped from the Absolute Cloud Cliff back then, did you notice anything unusual? Or, did you catch even a fleeting glimpse of what was below the cliff?"

"..." Although he had no recollection, Yun Che still tried hard to remember for a moment, finally shaking his head. "Nothing at all. I lost consciousness during the fall, and even before that, my eyes were closed. When I woke up again, I was already back on the Profound Sky Continent."

"............" Jasmine fell silent once more. After a brief pause, her gaze became resolute. "It seems I must go there myself."

"You're going to... the Absolute Cloud Cliff?" Yun Che asked, surprised.

Jasmine had already made up her mind. "The aura there is absolutely extraordinary; I must go and see for myself. You don't need to ask anything more for now. I will tell you everything when I return after investigating."

Before Yun Che could respond, a red flash appeared before his eyes, and Jasmine's figure vanished.

Above the Frozen Cloud Asgard, a blizzard raged. Jasmine, enveloped by the snow, had a grave expression. When she first arrived on this planet, her only impression was that it was a low-level, inferior world. Had it not been for the memory fragments in the Evil God's undying blood, which indicated that the Evil God's seeds were scattered on this planet, she wouldn't have bothered to come here at all.

However, not long after her arrival, she nearly perished due to a severe resurgence of the demonic poison within her... and then she met Yun Che.

Subsequently, the longer she stayed in this world, the more she realized that it was far from simple.

A planet created by the Evil God... relics of the gods... two ultimate treasures, the Sky Poison Pearl and the Samsara Mirror... the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign... even the Heaven Punishing Ancestral Divine Wheel was sealed in this world...

Setting aside everything else, the fact that three of the Seven Profound Sky Treasures existed in this world alone was enough to shake the entire God Realm to its core.

And this time, her spontaneous decision to explore the Cangyun Continent led her to discover an extremely abnormal aura... The shock it brought her was no less than the revelation that the Profound Sky Continent harbored the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign, an ancient true devil.

"The distance is too great; it seems I'll need to exert a bit of effort," she murmured.

Jasmine muttered to herself, as a crimson glow gathered at her fingertip, which she then pointed forward.

With a soft sound, space was cleanly sliced open by the fleeting crimson light, forming a smooth rift. Jasmine stepped into the rift, and the space instantly shifted. When she reappeared, she was above a vast, azure ocean... a million miles away from the Frozen Cloud Asgard.

Jasmine pointed her finger again, and a crimson light flashed, opening a second spatial rift before her. Jasmine silently walked into it, reappearing a million miles away once more.

Thus, after seven consecutive spatial rifts and seven teleportations far beyond the comprehension of Profound practitioners of the Profound Sky Continent, Jasmine no longer saw an azure sea, but a dark mountain range stretching to the horizon.

The mountain range was vast, yet profound beasts were scarce, and the atmosphere was somber. Looking into the distance, not a single human figure was in sight.

Jasmine scanned her surroundings, then looked down, murmuring softly, "Absolute... Cloud... Cliff..."

The two highest mountains on the Cangyun Continent were both within the Langhuan Mountain Range. These two mountains soared into the clouds, overlooking the world, standing adjacent in the central region of the Langhuan Mountain Range. Their heights were similar, but what was most peculiar was that their outward-facing sides were steep and treacherous, while their opposing faces...

...were almost perfectly straight, vertically rising and falling, as if sliced by a blade!

From a distance, it looked as if a single mountain had been vertically cut in half down the middle by a celestial blade, forming two oddly shaped peaks.

The abyss spanning between these two unusually shaped mountains was the "Graveyard of Death Gods," a place that struck fear into the hearts of countless powerful individuals on the Cangyun Continent. Once fallen into, there was no escape, not even for Divine Sovereigns.

The jagged peaks of the two mountains, right at the precipice overlooking the abyss, formed what was widely considered the most perilous place on the Cangyun Continent—the Absolute Cloud Cliff!

The southern side was the very spot from which Yun Che had leaped when he was facing certain death.

This cliff, nestled between the two oddly shaped mountains, was much narrower than anticipated, only about a hundred zhang wide, yet it stretched as far as the eye could see. Jasmine was currently positioned directly above this precipice. Looking down, the vast abyss was shrouded in a strange, murky darkness; bright light only penetrated to a depth of less than two hundred zhang before seeming to be swallowed by something.

"Even denser than the Moon Slaughter Devil's Lair... and a strange demonic aura," Jasmine muttered to herself, her gaze fixed on the depths below. "I'll see what kind of anomaly is hidden down there."

Having said that, Jasmine's small figure descended straight down from above the cliff, plummeting into the abyss below—the "Graveyard of Death Gods" from which no one in the history of the Cangyun Continent had ever returned alive!

Jasmine's speed was incredibly fast. In a blink, she had fallen thousands of zhang. Her surroundings turned pitch black; even the sky above, where a sliver of light should have been visible, was utterly devoid of illumination.

A red light flashed on Jasmine's body, instantly illuminating the surrounding world in a crimson glow. Beside her, the stone walls rapidly ascended, while below, there was still an infinitely hollow, pitch-black void, seemingly without end. As she rapidly descended, Jasmine gradually noticed that the deeper she went, the darker the color of the stone walls became.

Two thousand zhang...Three thousand zhang...Five thousand zhang...Seven thousand zhang...

For a cliff abyss, such a depth was already astonishing. However, for any profound practitioner above the Sky Profound Realm, let alone Jasmine, such a height was nothing significant. Jasmine descended deeper and deeper, yet the surrounding environment and aura showed no obvious changes. If it were other profound practitioners attempting to explore the abyss's bottom, they wouldn't have noticed anything different from other abysses at this point.

But Jasmine's brows tightened at that moment, for she was getting closer and closer to that strange aura.

Eight thousand zhang...Ten thousand zhang...Twelve thousand zhang...

Jasmine's descent suddenly slowed, then sharply halted.

Twelve thousand zhang down into the abyss, in a world of complete darkness, Jasmine's eyes glowed with an eerie, blood-like crimson light as she stared fixedly at the pitch-black world below.

She sensed that the spatial laws within three feet beneath her feet had abruptly undergone a dramatic change.

Though it was only a mere three feet, it was as if an invisible wall separated two worlds with entirely different laws that somehow did not interfere with each other.

"Could it be a transparent barrier?"

Strong bewilderment and doubt arose in Jasmine's mind, but her uncertainty lasted only for a few breaths before her body continued to descend... Yet, she didn't encounter any barrier-like objects, nor did she feel any obstruction, as she entered another world with completely different laws.

Jasmine's entire body suddenly went cold as an intensely dense and extreme chill abruptly assailed her from all directions, and a heavy pressure instantly struck her profound veins... At the same time, she felt powerful suction forces surging from below, as if countless invisible hands were fiercely pulling at her, trying to drag her into the bottomless, terrifying abyss beneath.

"Demonic aura!"

Jasmine was greatly startled. She had previously detected an unusual and exceptionally dense demonic aura here while in the Frozen Cloud Asgard. Now, she realized with alarm that the intensity of this demonic aura far surpassed her prior estimations.

Although its level was not as high as the demonic aura released by the Heaven Punishing Ancestral Divine Wheel in the Moon Slaughter Devil's Lair, it was still incredibly potent. Even in the God Realm where she was born, she had never encountered dark demonic energy of such a high level. And its density far exceeded that of the Moon Slaughter Devil's Lair!

The demonic aura from the Moon Slaughter Devil's Lair would not affect the current Jasmine in the slightest. However, the demonic aura here made Jasmine feel a subtle suppression of her profound energy.

"What's going on? How can such a terrifying demonic aura exist in a world with such low power and law levels...? The demonic aura in the Moon Slaughter Devil's Lair was due to the Heaven Punishing Ancestral Divine Wheel, so what is the cause here!?"

"Could an ancient true devil also be hidden at the bottom of this abyss!?"

By this point, Jasmine understood why every profound practitioner who had fallen into or attempted to explore the cliff's bottom had never returned, meeting certain death. If the dark demonic aura could even slightly suppress her, how could the profound practitioners of this world possibly resist it? Even a Divine Sovereign of Xuanyuan Wentian's level, once falling into this place, would have their profound energy instantly suppressed to a point where it was almost entirely unusable, making it impossible to resist the immense tearing force from below. This meant that anyone who came into contact with this dark world at the bottom of the abyss would be instantly sucked in. Not only would they be unable to escape, they wouldn't even have a chance to struggle, and would soon be consumed by the terrifying demonic energy within, turning into dark dust.
