The mountain range collapsed, creating a pitch-black abyss among the mountains, unfathomable in depth. Vapors churned as darkness intensified further down, likened to a colossal ferocious beast with a gaping maw, waiting for prey to leap into its jaws voluntarily.
A powerful force tugged at Xiao Chen, dragging him steadily downward. With his current strength, he could resist and stop the descent if he forced his way through.
Yet, inadvertently discovering a trace that resembled the Heavenly Stele, he decided to venture deeper to discern the truth.
"Roar…"
A dull howl emerged from deep underground; a gargantuan creature was growling, and simultaneously, a bolt of lightning struck upward.
"Crack"
The monstrous, blood-red lightning tore through the void, rushing towards Xiao Chen.
With the dim Divine Light as his guide, he caught a glimpse of a massive horned creature that vanished in a flash below him.
"Boom"
