The moment Li Sheng stepped through the black doorway, he was swallowed by a storm of screaming souls.
The Abyssal World was madness incarnate.
Skies wept rivers of blood.
Mountains writhed like living beasts.
Forests twisted with trees made from bone and flesh.
Li Sheng staggered forward, each breath feeling like he inhaled knives. His wounds from the battle with the Forgotten Guardian had barely closed. His robes were torn, soaked in blood, and his soul felt ragged.
And then — the ground split open beneath him.
Without warning, a monstrous horde surged from the chasm: creatures stitched from countless corpses, their eyes glowing like dying stars, their bodies a grotesque mockery of human and beast.
The Abyssal Swarm.
Thousands of them.
Each radiating killing intent so dense it was suffocating.
> [System Alert: Incoming Hostile Entities.
Survival Probability: 0.2%.]
Li Sheng gritted his teeth.
There was no time to think.
The first wave struck.
A beast the size of a boulder lunged, its maw splitting open into four jaws. Li Sheng's blade flashed — too slow. The creature's talons raked across his side, ripping flesh and spraying blood into the air.
He retaliated with a savage downward slash, cleaving the monster in two — but already, three more replaced it.
They swarmed him like locusts.
Claws tore into his arms. Fangs sank into his legs. He fought like a demon, blade weaving deadly arcs through the tide of nightmares, but for every one he slew, five more rose.
Blood soaked the broken earth.
Li Sheng was drowning in enemies.
Minutes became hours.
Each movement grew slower.
His vision blurred red.
His limbs felt like iron.
And yet he stood.
Until — a massive beast, towering over the swarm, descended.
A [Tyrant-Class Abyssbeast]— a thing of horns, wings, and endless eyes — roared, shaking the very fabric of the Abyss.
Li Sheng barely raised his blade.
The blow struck him like a falling mountain.
He crashed into the ground, a crater forming beneath him. His ribs shattered. His right arm twisted at an unnatural angle. Blood pooled in the dust.
> [Warning: Critical Condition.
System Failure Imminent.]
The Tyrant roared again, charging, preparing to crush him utterly.
Li Sheng looked up, barely conscious. His body refused to move.
Is this it?
Something deep inside him stirred — not fear, not despair.
Rage.
The unwillingness to die like an insect.
The determination to devour everything that stood before him.
> [Emergency Override Triggered.]
[System Evolution: MAXIMUM.]
[Congratulations. You have unlocked the Ultimate State:
SYSTEM OF RESONANT DOMINATION.]
> [New Paths Unlocked:
Abyssal Emperor Cultivation
Evolution into Apex Resonant Being.]
The Abyss trembled.
The broken crown of Heiyin Peak, tucked into his robes, melted into molten power and fused with his soul.
Li Sheng's body burst apart — only to reforge itself, piece by agonizing piece.
Bones turned black and silver, unbreakable.
Blood thickened into rivers of living qi.
His Resonance Core expanded into a burning abyssal sun.
And when Li Sheng rose again, he was no longer mortal.
He was something else.
The Resonant Emperor of the Abyss.
His silver eyes now glowed with abyssal flames.
Black mist coiled around his form like living armor.
Each breath he took devoured ambient qi and corrupted essence alike.
The Tyrant charged again.
Li Sheng raised his hand — not his blade — his hand — and crushed the beast mid-charge with an invisible force.
Bones exploded. Flesh liquefied.
The swarm halted, sensing their doom.
Li Sheng stepped forward.
> [Skill Unlocked: Abyssal Devourer.Level 1]
[Effect: Consume slain enemies to permanently strengthen cultivation.]
He swung his arm once.
A tidal wave of black resonance energy swept the battlefield.
Hundreds of Abyssbeasts were reduced to ash in seconds.
Their souls and bodies were drawn into him, fueling his ever-growing power.
The System's voice now echoed not in his mind — but from him.
He was the System.
He was the Resonance.
He was Death incarnate.
As the last screams of the Abyssal Swarm died away, Li Sheng stood alone on a plain of silence and ash.
The sky above cracked further, revealing a deeper darkness — a deeper layer of the Abyss — where ancient gods and forgotten kings slumbered.
And the System spoke once more:
> [New Quest: Conquer the Abyss,Become its Supreme Master.]
Li Sheng, breathing in the madness of the world, smiled a bloodstained smile.
"This is only the beginning."
And with steps that shook the very fabric of reality, he marched toward the deeper horrors awaiting him.
