Chapter 1685 Level 1!
He glanced around quickly and then stopped.
According to the rules, he only has ten minutes of safety time.
Taking a deep breath of the scorching air, which carried a faint smell of blood, Ye Chuyun's eyes narrowed, and she leaped off the edge of the platform.
There was no feeling of falling; it was as if I had passed through a viscous membrane, and the scene before my eyes changed drastically in an instant.
Above them were fissures emitting eerie halos and clouds burning with ghostly green flames that drifted slowly by.
Beneath their feet surged black energy, known as the abyss energy. It felt substantial when stepped on, yet it instilled unease in the heart.
As far as the eye could see, there were countless shattered landmasses suspended in the abyssal aura.
Twisted rocky mountains, rivers flowing with lava, and some indescribable, eerie structures.
The light was dim, with only the glow from the lava and certain minerals outlining the contours of this chaotic world.
Ferocity, chaos, oppression, danger... these are the first impressions of the Endless Abyss.
What made Ye Chuyun's heart tighten even more was that on several floating landmasses not far from where he landed, he sensed at least a dozen auras of varying strengths.
Some were moving quickly, seemingly searching for something; others lay in wait quietly; and still others gathered in twos and threes in a seemingly empty spot, watching vigilantly.
"The competition is indeed fierce." Ye Chuyun immediately concealed her aura, carefully spread out her divine sense, and began a thorough search.
His primary objectives are the [Abyss Chest] and the [Energy Crystal].
Both of these are constantly refreshed and can provide a stable amount of points.
Ye Chuyun's divine sense quickly covered an area of dozens of miles, but the result left her somewhat disappointed.
Within the field of vision, all terrain was relatively flat, and the places where energy fluctuations might converge were almost empty.
Occasionally, you can see fragments left after a treasure chest has been opened, or pits left after energy crystals have been collected.
"They've all been looted. It seems the refresh time is unpredictable; we'll have to wait." Ye Chuyun wasn't discouraged; this was to be expected.
His gaze quickly settled on those people guarding the "empty spot".
Some of those people sat alone, resting with their eyes closed; others took turns on duty in small teams, keeping watch.
The location they were guarding seemed to have nothing there, but Ye Chuyun carefully observed the energy flow and terrain features, combining them with some basic descriptions of the Abyss Treasure Chest spawn points in the [Detailed Explanation of Basic Points Acquisition Efficiency].
Ye Chuyun quickly realized that those places were likely the fixed spawn points for treasure chests or crystals.
These people are staking out the location.
Trying to snatch the refreshed treasures from them will undoubtedly lead to conflict.
Judging from the aura emanating from those guardians, most of them were experts at the Heavenly level, and some teams even had half-Spirit level leaders.
“We might be able to take it by force, but there’s no need to make enemies from the start, and it would be a waste of time.” Ye Chuyun smiled.
With a slight thought, his magical power flowed within him, and light and shadow flickered around him, instantly creating five clones that were exactly like him.
These clones possess 100% of his original strength, and their aura is restrained while their movements are agile.
"Go, keep an eye on the spawn points in the southeast, northwest, and due south directions. Once you spot a treasure chest or crystal spawn, grab it immediately."
"If we encounter resistance, we should focus on harassment and containment. Unless we are absolutely certain of victory, we should not fight to the death. Our goal is to obtain the treasure chest and crystals." Ye Chuyun issued the instructions to her five clones through telepathy.
The five clones nodded slightly, their figures silently dispersing, each stealthily heading towards one of the areas designated by Ye Chuyun.
They possess combat experience and the ability to apply their innate supernatural powers, which should be sufficient to deal with harassment and sudden robbery by ordinary Heavenly-level opponents.
After assigning the tasks, Ye Chuyun no longer lingered in this area that had been completely looted.
His gaze drifted deeper into the abyss.
The energy fluctuations there are more turbulent, the terrain is more treacherous, and this often means that greater dangers and opportunities may be hidden there.
"Treasure chests and crystals can be obtained by keeping an eye on them with your clones and trying your luck, but you can't miss out on mobile giant point packs and rare material vaults like the [Abyss Lord]."
"Moreover, killing the lord might improve my Abyss Exploration rating faster, unlocking deeper areas or obtaining other benefits."
Ye Chuyun concealed all her aura, adjusted the [Myriad Transformations Spirit Armor] to its most suitable shadow concealment form, blended into the dim abyss background, and quietly disappeared towards the area where she sensed the most violent energy and the most likely place to give birth to a lord.
As Ye Chuyun quietly traversed the shattered floating landmass, twisted stone forests, and lava rivers, he focused his divine sense within a hundred-meter radius around him to avoid alerting the enemy or attracting unnecessary attention.
At the same time, he was rapidly processing information about the [Raging Abyss] in his mind.
Most of these come from the book "Detailed Explanation of Basic Points Acquisition Efficiency".
"The Raging Abyss lives up to its name." Ye Chuyun recalled as she hurried along.
"According to records, the abyss is not just one layer, but rather like an endless funnel-shaped world."
"Where I am now is only the first level of the Raging Abyss."
The first level is the area where the vast majority of newcomers to the abyss are active.
The rules here are relatively stable, and the locations where [Abyss Chests] and [Energy Crystals] spawn are the most numerous, making the competition the fiercest.
However, this is also an area with relatively few Abyss Lord events.
It's not that they don't exist, but most lords have their own territories and often hide in more dangerous areas, or only appear under specific conditions.
"To delve deeper into the lower levels and obtain rarer, more valuable resources, you must improve your Abyss Exploration Rating."
The Abyss Exploration Rating is a comprehensive evaluation system, mainly composed of two parts:
Points Contribution: Total points earned in the Abyss, including points gained from opening treasure chests, collecting crystals, and defeating monsters, especially bosses.
Lord Extermination: The number and quality of Abyss Lords successfully defeated.
This is the most crucial part of improving the rating.
The score directly determines the level of the abyss that the trial participant is allowed to enter.
If your score is low, you can only participate in activities on the first level.
Only those with high scores are eligible to enter the second level, and so on.
It is said that the monsters at the top of the leaderboard have such high scores that they can delve into the unimaginable depths of the abyss, where the resources and lords that spawn provide astronomical amounts of points.
"My points have just surpassed one million, but my lord conquest count is zero."
"My overall score is probably pitifully low, barely enough to get into the first tier." Ye Chuyun was well aware of her current situation.
"Therefore, the primary goal at present is not to search for treasure chests aimlessly, but to find and kill at least one Abyss Lord, break the zero record, and get the first score."
