Compared to the Intertidal, Shallow Water, and Deep Water Zones, this place was far more mysterious and filled with unknown dangers.
Even a True God could not guarantee they would emerge unscathed after stepping inside.
The slightest misstep could lead to severe injury, or even death.
These thoughts flashed through Hu Qi’s mind.
He didn’t hesitate for long. After a brief pause, he took a step forward.
The next moment.
His figure instantly vanished into the pitch-black region, as if swallowed by an endless darkness.
—
The moment he entered the Bottomless Realm, Hu Qi felt his body pass through a thick, viscous membrane.
It was pitch-black all around. There was no light whatsoever; even the green motes of soul light had vanished.
It was just like the true depths of an ocean.
The surroundings became exceptionally viscous. Even Hu Qi could feel a distinct resistance as he moved through it.
The range of his Divine Soul was drastically compressed, now only able to cover a tiny area.
Not only that, but he also felt a powerful corrosive force, like an invisible viper, trying to erode his body.
However, the Twisted Light emanating from his body repelled this force, preventing it from getting within half a meter of him.
Witnessing this, Hu Qi finally understood why only True Gods were qualified to explore the Bottomless Realm.
This unique environment alone was enough to render anyone beneath the level of a True God completely immobile, and could even cause them to be devoured in an instant.
He didn’t retreat.
Instead, he began to move forward.
Time seemed to lose all meaning here. There was nothing in the surroundings to serve as a reference point.
Soon.
According to his Pocket World’s time, roughly thirty days had passed.
Finally, he made a discovery.
A fissure emitting a faint white light appeared in his field of vision.
The white light was dim, looking as if it might be extinguished at any moment.
As soon as Hu Qi’s Divine Soul Power made contact with the fissure, he sensed a dense worldly aura.
’A world entrance?!’
A jolt went through him, and he immediately advanced toward the fissure.
However, just as he was about to reach the fissure, the dense Spiritual Sea Water all around him suddenly began to churn.
An intense feeling of danger washed over him. Hu Qi snapped his head up just in time to see a silver beam of light descending from above, heading straight for him.
Looking closer, he saw that it wasn’t a beam of light at all, but a silver thread with a hook at its tip.
It was like a fishing line—cold and deadly.
’The Fisherman?!’
Hu Qi’s expression shifted.
The Bottomless Realm was fraught with hidden crises; one could encounter anything within it.
The Fisherman was one such crisis, something akin to a natural phenomenon.
Once caught on its hook, one would be like a fish on a line, dragged directly into an unknown abyss with no guarantee of survival.
He recalled from the Mirage Dragon’s memories that it had once encountered this and paid a hefty price to escape.
There was no time to think. Hu Qi raised his hand and struck out with his palm.
Light condensed into a giant golden hand that shot directly toward the hook.
PFFT!
But the next second, the golden palm was pierced straight through.
Still, the hook’s advance faltered for a moment.
Seeing this, Hu Qi didn’t linger.
His speed suddenly surged. Body moving like a flash of lightning, he became an afterimage and dove headfirst into the white fissure without a hint of hesitation.
The second after Hu Qi’s figure vanished, the silver hook slammed down, carving a cold arc through the darkness.
It hovered in place for a moment, seemingly searching for any trace of Hu Qi, but it came up empty.
Finally, it quivered a few times in frustration before slowly fading away, disappearing into the endless darkness.
...
After entering the fissure, Hu Qi immediately felt a powerful suppressive force.
His perception was compressed once more.
It was confined to a tiny area around his body, unable to extend outward in the slightest.
But thanks to the Mirage Dragon’s memories, he had anticipated something like this.
He didn’t panic. Instead, he conserved his strength and waited for the right moment.
After an unknown amount of time, the space around him suddenly shuddered.
Immediately after, Hu Qi felt as if he had passed through a membrane, and the suppressive force around him weakened slightly.
Noticing this, Hu Qi released his perception to examine the outside world.
