Chapter 937: Small Space

The moment Zhou Yuan entered the Fallen Abyss, he could feel the space around him violently shifting, and the Genesis Qi between heaven and earth became extremely turbulent.

It was as if heaven and earth were inverted in this place, causing one's mind and spirit to waver.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long. After dozens of breaths, Zhou Yuan felt his feet touch solid ground. His gaze immediately swept across his surroundings, and an unfamiliar world entered his view.

This was a desolate world. On the ground, weeds grew rampant, and vitality seemed scarce.

Thick clouds hung in the sky, giving a sense of unfathomable depth. On the ground, occasional massive tear marks were visible, as if powerful experts had once waged earth-shattering battles there.

Furthermore, the space here felt unstable, with signs of distortion appearing in the void from time to time.

Zhou Yuan gazed at the desolate world, then turned around. Behind him, nearly five hundred figures appeared one after another. They, too, looked at this world with a mix of bewilderment and wariness.

They were the team led by Zhou Yuan.

At the front of the team, in addition to Yi Qiushui, there were some familiar figures from Wind Pavilion.

Shang Xiaoling, Ling Feng, Yuan Tiegang... These were the people Zhou Yuan had personally recruited into Wind Pavilion. Now, they held high positions as Deputy Pavilion Masters in Wind Pavilion. For this assignment, Zhou Yuan had also placed them in his team.

Seeing Zhou Yuan's gaze, Shang Xiaoling and the others all showed respect. After all, Zhou Yuan's current status was immeasurably higher than when he first recruited them.

Of course, this was not just about status; there was also a significant change in his strength.

"Zhou Yuan, the Genesis Qi here is so turbulent," Yi Qiushui said, approaching him with a slight frown of concern.

Zhou Yuan nodded. The Genesis Qi within the Fallen Abyss was extremely turbulent, so the efficiency of absorbing Genesis Qi would be far lower than in Hunyuan Heaven.

This meant that ordinary Divine Dwelling stage practitioners could not freely expend their Genesis Qi. If it took one hour to recover consumed Genesis Qi in Hunyuan Heaven, then here, it would likely take at least three hours.

This would undoubtedly make people feel constrained when fighting in this place.

Zhou Yuan pondered for a moment. With a thought, he drew a wisp of Genesis Qi from the surroundings into his body. Immediately, he activated the Ancestral Dragon Scripture. A faint dragon roar echoed within him, vibrating his meridians.

A few breaths later, that turbulent Genesis Qi was refined, transforming into a wisp of pure Heavenly Python Qi, which flowed into his Divine Dwelling.

Zhou Yuan's eyebrows twitched slightly in surprise, as he found that the Ancestral Dragon Scripture's refining time had not increased at all.

Was this because the Ancestral Dragon Scripture was too overbearing, completely disregarding the slight turbulence contained within the Genesis Qi of this place?

A hint of joy appeared in Zhou Yuan's eyes. This was, after all, good news for him.

At the very least, within this Fallen Abyss, he possessed a unique advantage.

Zhou Yuan temporarily suppressed the joy brought by this good news. He then looked at the hundreds of figures before him and said, "We have entered the Fallen Abyss. The Nine Regions Grand Meeting has truly begun from this moment."

"Perhaps another group of people has entered another part of this small space. If we encounter them, intense combat awaits us."

The hundreds of people fell silent, their expressions exceptionally solemn. They knew very well that among the Nine Regions, Tianyuan Region was currently the weakest.

Fortunately, the Nine Regions' forces were divided into many teams. As long as they didn't encounter the main teams of the other eight regions, under Zhou Yuan's leadership, they didn't necessarily have to be weaker than their opponents.

Moreover, perhaps they were the only team in this small space?

This was not impossible. There were many small spaces within the Fallen Abyss. Even if tens of thousands of people from the Nine Regions entered, they wouldn't necessarily meet another group every time they changed spaces.

However, Zhou Yuan, as the leader, could not harbor such thoughts. He had to be fully prepared. He immediately looked at Shang Xiaoling and said, "Xiaoling, lead twenty people to search for the spatial fissures in this small space. Send a signal once you find them."

Those spatial fissures were the paths to exit this small space. As long as they exited through them, they would be teleported to other small spaces.

Of course, if they encountered a strong enemy, it would also serve as a retreat route.

Hearing this, Shang Xiaoling nodded, and without another word, she quickly led over twenty people away.

"Ling Feng, lead eighty people as scouts. Search everywhere to determine if there are other teams in this small space." His gaze then fell upon a stern-faced man.

The latter acknowledged the order and quickly led his people away.

"As for the remaining people, follow me to find the most vibrant place of spiritual energy within this space." Zhou Yuan looked at the remaining three hundred-plus people, his gaze sharpening as he said, "The Fallen Abyss is fraught with danger. Not only are there powerful enemies secretly lurking, but there are also various potential threats. Therefore, everyone must obey orders. If anyone causes losses to the team due to their recklessness, I will surely punish them severely!"

Hearing Zhou Yuan's stern voice, everyone's hearts tightened, and they respectfully responded, "Yes!"

After issuing his warnings, Zhou Yuan nodded and said, "Depart!"

His figure was the first to sweep out at a low altitude. Behind him, over three hundred figures closely followed.

While Zhou Yuan was leading his three hundred people to sweep through this small space, in another corner of the space, hundreds of figures stood at the foot of a mountain.

These individuals were all clad in profound yellow robes, with powerful Genesis Qi fluctuations emanating from their bodies. Their aura was sharp and formidable; one could tell at a glance that they were elites. All of them were experts in the late Divine Dwelling stage!

At this moment, these originally unruly elite forces all gazed respectfully at the mountaintop ahead. A tall, slender figure stood there with hands clasped behind his back. His expression was indifferent, and a heart-palpitating pressure slowly emanated from his body, causing the hundreds of figures below to feel immense pressure.

For that figure was none other than Zhao Mushen, the king among the Divine Dwelling stage practitioners in Hunyuan Heaven!

Who would have thought that in their very first round upon entering the Fallen Abyss, Zhou Yuan and his team would encounter their strongest opponent...?

Zhao Mushen looked up at the thick, rolling clouds in the sky, murmuring softly to himself, "Uncle Zhao, there was no need for such a move... It's just Zhou Yuan. Is he worth all this effort?"

He paused, shook his head, and continued, "Never mind. Since I'm already here, I'll complete the Grand Elder's task first. It's just a minor detour anyway."

His gaze dropped, looking at the hundreds of figures standing below, and his faint voice resounded.

"Go, find the team that entered this small space, and then... eliminate them."

The next instant, hundreds of figures soared into the sky, a murderous aura rising with them.
