Even though it’s not as seamless as controlling his own inner qi, as long as it could help him leap across the abyss, that was enough.
This way, he wouldn’t need to deplete a large amount of his inner qi and could simply use his spiritual power, solving the biggest problem that had troubled him before.
"Success or failure hinges on this one move..." Song Changming looked at the vast, dark abyss before him, feeling eager to try.
Buzz!
The timing was perfect; the magnetic field of this part of the abyss and the torrent of energy simultaneously weakened visibly.
Song Changming didn’t hesitate; he knew he only had a few minutes to make the leap.
Thunder light erupted under his feet, and with a heavy step, his figure instantly disappeared from where he stood, transforming into a streak of lightning rushing to the edge of the abyss.
He repeated his earlier trick and made a sprinting leap.
His entire body ascended rapidly, soaring above the abyss, heading toward the other shore.
Afterward, he no longer used his inner qi, concentrating his spiritual power on the talisman paper, manipulating its energy. When he was about to fall, he steadied himself again, continuing to float and fly forward.
"It works!"
Song Changming could clearly feel the energy of the talisman paper swirling around, able to resist the gravity of the abyss’s magnetic field, preventing him from being crushed downward.
Soon, he approached the center of the abyss.
That vast torrent of energy ford an insurmountable barrier, standing in front of him.
Song Changming took a deep breath, as if diving into water, and plunged headfirst into this energy barrier.
The speed of his flight imdiately dropped, and his figure wobbled before he adapted to the terrifying rush of the energy flow.
Song Changming still didn’t use his inner qi to protect himself but relied purely on his physical strength to endure and continue to leap forward.
The talisman paper was still steadily providing energy, allowing him to float forward, giving him confidence.
At this point, his confidence in success was steadily increasing.
Twenty li, fifteen li, ten li...
Before long, he reached the previous limit.
Previously, when he reached this point, his inner qi was nearly depleted, and the energy torrent in front was still growing stronger, forcing him to give up.
Now, his inner qi was still abundant, and that was the biggest difference!
Keep going forward!
The closer he got to the direction of the Ancient Abyss Country, the stronger the energy torrent beca, increasing in strength almost every hundred ters!
The qi and blood surged within Song Changming’s body, his skin taut, preventing the energy torrent from tearing him apart.
The Dragon Body’s properties played a significant role, as his skin seed to have an additional layer of hard dragon scales, shielding him from the relentless onslaught of the energy torrent.
Nine li, eight li, seven li...
At this step, Song Changming seed to be stuck in a quagmire, his progress becoming extrely slow.
The destructive power of the energy torrent had also reached its peak, and even a body as strong as Song Changming’s felt the pressure. His skin prickled, and blood began to seep from his pores.
This forced Song Changming to start consuming his inner qi.
Golden True Yang Qi covered his entire body, making him look like a golden fireball, drifting up and down with the energy torrent, struggling to move forward.
"This inner qi is depleting too quickly!" Song Changming checked his condition and couldn’t help but click his tongue.
Though the added inner qi protection prevented his injuries from worsening, maintaining this layer of inner qi protection was indeed challenging.
The inner qi was vanishing as if it cost nothing, and the eight qi vortices within him were visibly depleting.
At that mont, Song Changming finally felt a sense of urgency.
At this point, he had no way back and must break through this seemingly impassable energy barrier before his inner qi ran out!
Six li, five li...
The scourge of the energy torrent had made it impossible for Song Changming to open his eyes, and even if he could, he would only see distorted light blurs, a haze.
However, Song Changming sensed he was at the edge of the energy barrier, with dawn right before him!
He still gripped a few Golden Shield Talismans in his hand, as a last resort before his inner qi was exhausted.
Fortunately, it seed they weren’t needed!
Suddenly, in a mont, Song Changming felt a lightness all over, and the noise from the turbulent energy around him vanished instantly.
Song Changming opened his eyes, and his surroundings were no longer filled with layers of distorted energy spots; his vision was clear.
Before his eyes was the other shore of the abyss!
"I made it!"
Song Changming felt a surge of excitent and looked back, the energy barrier still there, seemingly touching the sky.
And Song Changming’s current position was on the other side of the energy barrier!
The process wasn’t easy, but fortunately, he succeeded!
His inner qi cald as he slowly floated to the other shore, and the last stretch of about five li was smooth and uneventful after the greatest obstacle was gone.
As he set foot on the ground, Song Changming breathed a long sigh of relief.
It was only at this mont that he truly crossed the Bottomless Abyss!
"It’s not easy..." Song Changming murmured to himself, looking at the Bottomless Abyss behind him.
A decade of exploring the abyss, coupled with his own solid strength and finally the help of this talisman paper, all three were indispensable.
Also, it must be said, this talisman paper was indeed effective.
Without this Flying Talisman, he might have had to stay in Da Lai for who knows how many years before he could hope to cross the abyss to reach this other shore.
Crack!
Before he could catch his breath, he heard a series of faint movents from below the abyss, and unsurprisingly, Abyssal Fog Beasts crawled up one after another.
Still the sa horde of Gluttonous Beasts!
The difference was that these Gluttonous Beasts were much larger, and more terrifying and vicious in appearance.
They were covered in spikes, with twin bone horns on their heads, and three intertwined bone tails extending from their spines.
With six limbs on the ground, their eyes glaring, they stared at Song Changming, charging straight at him.
Song Changming slashed out with a saber, condensing the remaining inner qi into a blazing golden blazing fire blade qi, slashing out in an instant.
Boom!
The golden wave of fire swept forward, engulfing nearly all the erging Abyss Gluttonous Beasts.
"Hm?" Song Changming suddenly frowned, stepping back.
Under the golden wave of fire, one Gluttonous Beast after another pushed through the fire wave, relentlessly pursuing Song Changming.
