Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas-Chapter 530 - 474: Soul Suppressing Abyss

Chu Chen sat cross-legged inside the prison. Unable to cultivate at the moment, he could only sit idly, pondering Sun Wenshan’s intentions in his mind.

He remained in this state for three days. During this time, Zhang Tianlong and the other four generals came to see him, mostly offering words of comfort.

Chu Chen naturally accepted this gladly, as these five were initially absolutely neutral, choosing to take a stand for his sake, a sentiment he could truly feel.

Although all this started because of the Perfect Level Evolution Formula, these formulas were useless to them personally, but immensely beneficial to their soldiers.

In summary, they were all working for the good of humanity, a point Chu Chen wholeheartedly agreed with.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t risk so much to expose some of his trump cards.

At this moment, a sound of synchronized footsteps echoed. Chu Chen looked up to see Zhao Wudi entering with a dozen soldiers.

Zhao Wudi looked at Chu Chen with a complex expression, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes.

"Chu the Kid, the procedures in the Alliance are complete. Today, you will be transferred to the Soul Suppressing Abyss," Zhao Wudi said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen frowned. The Soul Suppressing Abyss was the Alliance’s most secure prison, housing the most heinous criminals, all of King Level strength or higher.

Seeing this, Zhao Wudi explained solemnly, "This was Sun Wenshan’s persistent demand, exerting pressure on me many times. I had no choice, but rest assured, I’ve paved the way for you over there; there will be no danger."

Chu Chen nodded and said, "I understand."

"Hmm, the road is unsafe. I’ll personally escort you there. Just bear with it for two years, it will pass quickly," Zhao Wudi comforted with a deep voice.

Hearing this, Chu Chen didn’t reply, he simply nodded gently.

Such a situation, Chu Chen had long anticipated, knowing Sun Wenshan wouldn’t miss any chance to target him.

The Soul Suppressing Abyss is in the far north of the Alliance, where the climate is extremely harsh, maintaining below zero degrees all year round, dropping to minus fifty at its coldest. Ordinary people can hardly survive, and there are no teleportation arrays around, requiring a two-day journey to reach the Soul Suppressing Abyss.

Zhao Wudi led Chu Chen through a teleportation array to a northern frontier town, Xuemei City.

This place was still tens of thousands of kilometers away from the Soul Suppressing Abyss, but it was the closest city to it.

The arrival of Chu Chen and his party did not cause much of a stir, as they traveled very covertly, not revealing their purpose to anyone.

Xuemei City’s scenery was beautiful, covered in snow, dressed entirely in white, as if the whole city donned a snow-white wedding dress. Seven-colored petals floated in the wind, the Wind Breath Blossoms adding a touch of stunning beauty to the bridal gown.

Admiring Xuemei City’s scenery, a line of poetry sprung to Chu Chen’s mind.

"The plum is less white than the snow by three parts, yet the snow loses to the plum in fragrance by one rank."

The city was quite lively, with crowds bustling on the streets, their clothes mostly made of white beast fur. Everyone had beast teeth hanging around their necks, some with one, some with several. Chu Chen even saw a middle-aged man with over a hundred beast teeth hanging from his neck.

These beast teeth seemed to have some special significance, as the more someone wore them, the more respectful others seemed.

"Lord Alliance Leader, what is the meaning of the beast teeth hanging from these people’s necks?" Chu Chen asked Zhao Wudi directly, not wanting to strain his mind.

Zhao Wudi replied with a smile, "Due to the extreme cold in Xuemei City and the lack of Star Beasts around, the beast teeth hanging from their necks are evidence of their prowess in killing Star Beasts. Each tooth represents a Star Beast they have killed."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen’s face lit up with realization, understanding why people were so respectful to the man wearing a hundred beast teeth.

However, Chu Chen then thought of himself; he had slaughtered millions of Star Beasts. If he wore beast teeth around his neck, wouldn’t he be overwhelmed?

Zhao Wudi, seeing Chu Chen’s silly grin, couldn’t help but say, "Xuemei City is known as a paradise, rarely participating in any Alliance activities, and never seeking its help, completely self-sufficient."

Chu Chen nodded approvingly, saying, "Indeed a paradise. If all of humanity could live like this, how wonderful it would be."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wudi firmly patted his shoulder, saying, "I believe that day will come soon."

Chu Chen smiled and said, "I’ve always believed in that."

The two exchanged a knowing smile, their laughter loud and hearty.

Their behavior naturally attracted attention from those around them, yet no one disturbed them, seeing as their attire was so out of place with this city.

The locals knew that outsiders coming here were usually people they couldn’t afford to offend, unwilling to bring trouble upon themselves.

Seeing this, Zhao Wudi lost his interest in further admiring the scenery. He summoned a Guardian Beast and pulled Chu Chen onto its back.

Zhao Wudi’s Guardian Beast was swift, rapidly leaving Xuemei City far behind within just a few breaths.

As they departed Xuemei City, Chu Chen looked out, seeing every mountain and plant covered in thick snow.

At first, he still found the scene beautiful, but as they journeyed further along unchanged snowy landscapes, he grew weary of the monotony.

Approaching the Soul Suppressing Abyss, traces of life became scarcer, while the temperature continued to drop.

Chu Chen held no longing for the Soul Suppressing Abyss, so he sat cross-legged atop the Guardian Beast’s back, feigning sleep.

Zhao Wudi, seeing this, said nothing, knowing the entire Alliance owed this young man.

After an unknown distance, Zhao Wudi finally spoke, "We’re nearing the Soul Suppressing Abyss."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen abruptly opened his eyes, following the direction of Zhao Wudi’s gesture to see a massive black hole a hundred meters away.

From a distance, the black hole resembled the massive maw of a beast, as if capable of devouring everything in its path.

Gazing at it with furrowed brows, Chu Chen asked, "Alliance Hierarch, is that the Soul Suppressing Abyss?"

Zhao Wudi nodded, "Indeed, but that’s just the entrance to the Soul Suppressing Abyss."

Thinking it over, Chu Chen nodded slightly, "This Soul Suppressing Abyss is hidden deep indeed."

Raising his hand, Zhao Wudi retrieved several books from within a Spatial Ring, handing them to Chu Chen, "These are some martial arts manuals. In the Soul Suppressing Abyss, Soul Power cannot be used. Learning these will give you some means of self-protection."

Chu Chen accepted the manuals without hesitation, tucking them into his bosom.

Seeing this, Zhao Wudi nodded in satisfaction, then directed the Guardian Beast towards the Soul Suppressing Abyss.

Upon entering the massive black hole, the surrounding light seemed to be devoured, dropping down dozens of feet, leaving nothing visible. The temperature sharply decreased, with the surrounding rock walls smoothed by the fierce wind, akin to a mirror’s surface.

As they continued their descent, Chu Chen felt an inexplicable force around them, seemingly suppressing Soul Power.

"You feel it too, don’t you?" Zhao Wudi suddenly asked.

"Is this the origin of the Soul Suppressing Abyss?" Chu Chen responded gravely.

"Exactly. There exists a special mineral here called the Zhenhun Stone. The Soul Suppressing Abyss is named after it," Zhao Wudi explained solemnly.

Chu Chen raised his silver bracelet hand, asking, "Are these handcuffs made from Zhenhun Stone as well?"

Zhao Wudi nodded solemnly, "Yes."

During their conversation, they finally reached the bottom of the Soul Suppressing Abyss.
