Chapter 113: Chapter 112: The worst possible outcome.

The cave that Liang Chen and Yan Ling were walking in right now was a bit different from the one they had used to first arrive in the cavern where they found the strange tree, this one was far more arid, with the walls cracked in a few places. The walls were also a bit darker than the walls of the other cave, the stone here so dark that it was almost black.

The two also discovered a strange phenomenon as they moved, the faint pressure Liang Chen had felt in the cavern was growing stronger and stronger. It was as if there were unseen hands pushing down on them, trying to force them down into the ground. There was clearly something in the area that made gravity grow stronger and stronger, and they seemed to be approaching it.

Both of them grew vigilant, drawing their weapons and holding them at the ready. Liang Chen had an uneasy hunch about their location, but he was hoping that he was wrong, because he truly did not wish to believe that his luck was that abysmal.

The cave continued to slant upwards in a spiraling manner, the two guessing that it might even go all the way to the surface again. The higher they got, the faster gravity grew stronger, the ground beneath them starting to creak from the force it had to endure as they walked on it. Gravity got so bad that even their Qi was getting affected, ending up nearly sealed up inside their bodies, rendering their scouting techniques practically useless.

Due to this, their vigilance continued to rise as they followed the cave upwards, both of them tightly gripping their weapons and staying ready for combat at any second. After following the cave for a little over half a day, they spotted the end of the cave, a white light shining in the distance.

The two carefully approached the end of the cave and saw that the white light came from a large cavern that the cave was connected to. This cavern was far larger than the first one they had entered, easily several tens of kilometers in width and length. Their cave was located about half a kilometer above the ground of the cavern, a small outcropping past the cave exit giving them a place to stand so that they could examine the entire cavern.

They both stepped onto the outcropping and swept the massive cavern, somewhat amazed at the sheer size of it. They could see countless caves covering the walls of this cavern, leading to who knows where. There was a one-meter wide hole in the ceiling of the cavern, the hole went all the way to the surface, something they could tell by the sunlight that shone down from the hole.

Looking at it, it seemed like something had either pierced through the ground in the valley and ended up here, or something had pierced up through the ground from here and entered the valley. Pillars of various sizes were spread throughout the cavern, some so tall that they reached the cavern ceiling and some so thick that they seemed to be at least one or two kilometers thick. The entire cavern was filled with the same star-like crystals that had been present in the other caverns, making it easy to see their surroundings.

Strangely enough, the gravity in this cavern wasn't as strong as it had been in the cave. Liang Chen guessed that they might have passed by whatever increased the strength of the surrounding gravity, letting out a light sigh of relief that his guess about their current location seemed to be wrong. After the two examined the parts of the cavern they could see from their position, Yan Ling pointed at a cave that was directly opposite of them, on the other end of the cavern. It was slightly obscured by a few pillars, but they could still see the left half of the cave.

"I say we check out that one, it seems to lead upwards, so it might lead to the surface."

Liang Chen had also seen that the cave seemed to slant upwards, so he felt like her guess was logical and reasonable, nodding his head. There was no path down to the ground from their outcropping, so they could only jump down, Yan Ling using her law of wind to control the speed of their descent.

When they landed on the ground, they discovered that it was surprisingly brittle, minute cracks spreading out as far as the eye could see. The other caverns and caves they had seen were surprisingly sturdy, even the cave they had just left, which was covered in cracks, was sturdier than it looked. So how come this large cavern seemed so brittle, cracks covering the entire ground? Just stepping on these cracks caused them to creak a little, growing slightly, so the cavern was clearly just as brittle as it looked.

The two carefully made their way across the cavern, walking around some of the pillars that blocked their path. Both of them kept their weapons at the ready, prepared for any situation that might pop up. The closer they got to the center of the cavern, the place where the hole in the ceiling was, the weaker the strengthened gravity got. But despite the gravity getting weaker and weaker, there seemed to be something within this cavern interfering with their Qi, preventing them from controlling it past a few meters beyond their bodies. It was clear that this Fiend King's Tomb hadn't become one of the more interesting and diverse places in this Myriad Convergence for nothing.

No Demonic beasts attack the two of them, they didn't even see any traces of Demonic beasts as they continued to walk, the entire cavern seemingly empty. But then the two of them walked around one of the thickest pillars in the cavern, arriving at the center of the cavern. And once the two saw the center of the cavern, their expressions rapidly distorted as they pulled back and tried to hide behind the pillar again. But it was too late, they had already been discovered, a pleasantly surprised voice sounding out.

"Ling'er? Were you unable to contain yourself and came to look for me? I'm flattered."

Sitting on the ground in the center of the cavern, in front of a watermelon-sized black stone that was surrounded by a field of gravity so strong that it distorted space around it, was Huang Dong. He was looking at Liang Chen and Yan Ling with a pleased smile, standing up and stepping away from the stone.

Liang Chen felt like cursing at his own luck, curse at the fact that his guess had been right. They had headed south in the valley to avoid running into Huang Dong, but when they entered the raging river, they had been pulled north again at a high speed. And then when Liang Chen noticed that gravity had gotten a bit stronger after leaving the river, he remembered what the six spies had said, Huang Dong had entered the Fiend King's Tomb to find something called a Gravity Well.

He hoped that his guess had been wrong, that they hadn't ended up close to this Gravity Well, but now it seemed like him hoping for that had caused some strange fate to laugh in his face and throw the worst possible situation at them. The strange black stone, likely the Gravity Well, didn't distort the gravity in the place where they were right now, but even without the restriction of the strong gravity, Liang Chen was not the slightest bit confident that they could beat Huang Dong, someone at the very peak of the Soaring Immortal Realm.

Liang Chen and Yan Ling's minds started to race, slowly stepping back as Huang Dong casually walked closer. The worst possible situation had come about, just how were they to solve this and escape from the predicament in front of them?
