Chapter 17: Sight of the Abyss
Source corruption, a high level ability of creatures associated with the abyss. The nature of the abyss was to corrupt everything, high level individuals that fall into the abyss trap usually ended badly.
Source corruption target the sea of consciousness and the spirit body, high level figures who advanced step by step can defend against this corruption.
It was an open secret that the dragon lord of Longwei plane did not advance step by step but leaped to the heavens in a single bound. From the moment the abyssal behemoth arrived, it had been secretly trintoing to establish a connection with that dragon but fr the moment the dragon saw this behemoth, he had been pulled into an illusion.
Behind the group, a small ball of golden coloured light descended. The dragons and the other awakened immediately bowed their heads in respect.
Longwei laughed out loud when he saw the golden light, the golden expanded into a vortex before revealing a human figure, a beautiful lady with pure golden eyes with stars mixed in them.
A glance at the abyssal behemoth ignited his body turning him into a burning torch, she frowned slightly when she saw the artifact in his hands. She did not even bother to investigate, she simply purified it.
The darkness behind the massive sun in the distance churned violently when she started purifying the artifact. Like it was trying to open a door for something to come out of it.
“I expect you to take this mission seriously. The ethereal voice of the lady was pleasant to the ear, it gave the illusion of needing to keep hearing the voice forever. The rank 1 and rank 2 awakened creatures immediately resisted this feeling, they were all high level figures, they had strong wills that stemed from their pride.
She turned to the young man who wore golden hood… “punk, make sure you don’t forget the way to the desert by mistake. For a sun path to be fooled by a secret in the desert, this secret must have a high level. We need to be vigilant.”
Longwei nodded at her words, “I expect to see results soon, report to me if you discover anything…
Turning to Kumar’s father, “you will be given the opportunity to advance to rank 1 soon, you have made good contributions. Once your son has tempered his soul enough, he will be allowed to advance to rank 2.”
Kumar’s father was overjoyed, a rank 2 could easily go anywhere in the chaotic planes but the dragon clan and some other powerful forces occupied a planet, across the entire universe, there are no more than fifteen planets due to the corrosion of the abyss. And in other to keep this rare resource, the dragons always made sure high level figures remain closer to home to defend if need be.

Rank 1 awakened were allowed more freedom due to their ability to cross parts of the abyss corroded areas. The abyss had a way of disrupting
The listeners couldn’t even argue, they could only silently agree to the arrangement.
….
A silvery light ball flew through the void slowly, although it looked slow, the abyss around this light ball could not detect it presence because it was too fast.
Sometimes along it journey, it slowed down like it was hesitant to stop, an intense force seemed to be calling for this silvery ball but after a moment of hesitation, it immediately continued on its journey.
Giant mass with extremely large and dark tentacles, humanoid figures the height of planets were lying within the void, some had horns that emitted endless dark force.
Dark vortexes with complex symbols lined different parts of this chaotic void, while looking from afar, they seemed close but on getting closer to one the other seemed to suddenly become very far away.
The silver light ball travelled around different vortexes some times entering one and after a while it would leave to enter another vortex in other to chose it destination.
Around the vortex filled with partial dark stars, mirror like doors and simply pure doors, runes, patterns and other symbols adorned the chaotic space.
Extremely large dark monsters were either close to these vortexes or hanging around in a bid to enter but a mysterious force prevented them. The silver light ball that could prevent detection shuffled through this monsters trying out different doors and also reflecting what it captured from within this vortexes.
Some of the world within the vortex doors were filled with living beings automatically removing it from the list.
Some of them had collapsed cities without any sign of life while others were filled with zombies and other abyss minions giving out a repugnant feeling to this silvery ball.
While the abyssal force around planets are in a fog like state and could be driven back by high ranking sun path awakened, the force within each cell in the void contained a world on their own.
The silver light ball could pass through the deep abyss in this segment like it was nothing.
After wandering for a bit, the silver ball felt a little bit of convergence from a very far away space, it jumped across the void towards this calling force. After discovering the source- a palm size mirror, it hesitated for a while before reluctantly giving up on it.
The world this palm sized mirror lived in filled it with intrigue, this world possessed a forbidden realm that incubated abyssal monsters. It wanted to stay for a while before leaving, the silver light hated darkness and the mirror happened to be in this plane. It wanted to stay either so it could get a successor or end up like the mirror.
The mirror unconsciously tried reflecting the light but it was unsactisfactory. The pure silver light ball was after all the last of it kind, it self protective system is much more vast than the others.
It flew towards a cave and embedded itself into a stone in the rock.
….
A small seed projection flew through the abyss, the seed revealed a dreamlike allure as it flew through the endless force and force, it seemed to be tracking something. After a while of searching, it failed to discover the repulsive aura it felt.
When it was about to turn around and leave the void, a phantom of an island appeared near a vortex.
