Within the gloom of the Abyss of Darkness, Austin fumbled every step forward.
After a moment of glancing around the darkness, he saw that a bright light began to shine and the mist slowly rose. A peaceful scene as far as the eye could see welcomed him.
Even though the map provided by the eight supreme leaders was incomplete, Austin still engraved it deeply into his Soul Sea.
Every once in a while he'd consult the map and successfully managed to avoid some of the recorded dangerous areas.
Although Austin was proficient in the Earth Exploring Technique, some areas were still extremely dangerous even for him. Some of the places within the Abyss of Darkness made him tremble in fear at the very sight of them and he didn't dare to approach any closer.
One of the areas was surrounded by nine green mountains and incredibly dense fog. All the spiritual birds and beasts there were full of vitality.
After only a moment of studying the place, Austin realized that it was a legendary forbidden area.
Based on what he remembered of the place, it was one of the most horrible and dangerous places in the world.
If it weren't for the notes on the eight supreme leaders' incomplete map, Austin might have already entered it.
However, some dangerous areas weren't marked on the map.
Just a day later, Austin found himself deep inside a terrible place before he realized it.
Dozens of black mountains stood side by side and cast an ominous shadow.
A huge lake served as the center of the black mountains and had water as dark as the mountains' shadow.
It was dark and lifeless. A foreboding feeling climbed up people's spines just by looking into the water.
Plop!
Small ripples surged from the dark water of the lake from time to time as unknown creatures swam within the depths.
A huge black lake was surrounded by dozens of black mountains.
It wouldn't take a genius to realize that it must be a terrible place.
Despite realizing that he was in a bad place, he had no idea how he actually entered the place.
Just a moment ago, he was in a fairyland with beautiful mountains, gurgling rivers, and light mist floating in the air.
In the blink of an eye, the scene completely changed.
No matter how many times he looked over the map in his Soul Sea, he couldn't find any hint of it.
Splash!
Right when Austin was lost in fear and shock, the dark water of the huge black lake before his eyes began to violently surge.
As he stayed rooted in his spot to watch in horror, something began to slowly rise from the lake.
A strong malicious aura enveloped everything around him.
Blood red demonic flowers rained down from the void.
Every hair on Austin's body stood on end.
Everything about this was a glaring warning.
Suddenly, a deep deafening roar echoed around Austin.
Before Austin's dumbfounded eyes, a black dragon rose from the depths of the lake.
To be exact, it wasn't a living dragon but the remains of it. A thick cloud of corpse miasma emitted from its cold and stiff body. Any sign of life had long left the corpse.
Boom!
A horrifying force flared up from the dragon's cold body.
Nothing could possibly withstand that terrifying surge of power.
Intense admiration bubbled up from deep within Austin's heart and he wanted to drop onto his knees and kowtow.
If there weren't more than two hundred earth dragons watching over him like hawks, he might have knelt down.
This was a kind of blood suppression.
It was a kind of innate suppression of creatures with noble blood could use against those low-born ones.
Never before had Austin felt anything like it.
"Well... Could it be a divine dragon?"
Austin gaped in shock as he scanned whatever part of the dragon his eyes could reach.
