"It's almost midnight, are you really sure you want to do it?"
Inside the eighteenth level of the prison abyss, the luminous giant squid stared curiously at Jiang Yuan, who was stuffing meat into his mouth.
"To die beneath the peony blossoms is my life's goal."
Jiang Yuan smiled slightly, showing no fear, and said, "Besides, I also want to see what kind of people are imprisoned in this Prison Abyss."
"Don't underestimate them. Although the ones up there aren't as tough as the eighteenth floor, there are still a few troublemakers," the glowing giant squid kindly reminded them.
Although the Abyss is divided into layers according to crimes, each layer has powerful individuals, just like the one in the clam.
"Perfect timing. I'm tired of the food from the other floors. Going out to find some new ingredients is a good idea." Jiang Yuan remained nonchalant, as if entering other floors was just a beautiful journey.
"Alright, you better watch out. I don't want to lose such an interesting cellmate for the next few hundred years!"
The luminous giant squid casually said a few words before returning to its dark corner. Its sentence was several hundred years, destined to spend most of its life in this prison abyss, so it was extremely difficult to meet someone with whom it could have a good chat.
Is it interesting?
Jiang Yuan looked up at the sky and murmured, "Perhaps, it could be even more interesting!"
After passing through the thick layer of water, the sky had darkened to its lowest point, which meant that midnight, the darkest hour, was approaching.
As the seawater swayed, the Tonghai Jiuyou Grand Array was withdrawn, and the unrestrained seawater gradually became violent.
"Sea creatures, welcome to the darkest hour!"
Demonic runes gradually covered Jiang Yuan's body. He awakened in the sea like a demon god. This time, the sea creatures who had experienced his powerful physique wisely chose not to confront him.
Jiang Yuan didn't set his sights on his fellow inmates on the same floor; the words of the luminous giant squid kept echoing in his mind.
It can reach the deepest seas and grasp the moon in the highest heavens.
To break through the barrier of the Prison Abyss, one needs the guidance of moonlight; otherwise, one will surely lose one's way.
Following the great formation, Jiang Yuan saw the moonlight shining through the water, which led to the passage to the upper level of the prison abyss.
"Eight Gates—Open!"
With his physical body activated, Jiang Yuan shouldered the pressure of a million tons of water and went against the current, creating a huge vortex that stirred up the Prison Abyss around him.
"That's fucking insane!"
"Try to understand. One day he will realize that all his efforts in this prison are in vain. Once he has experienced despair, he will give up all struggle!"
"That's true. We were all so crazy when we first came in, but in the end, we were all crushed by reality and became salted fish waiting to die."
There was much discussion among the prisoners, but none of them were optimistic about Jiang Yuan, because as long as Tonghai Jiuyou existed in the Prison Abyss, they would have no chance of getting out.
The Tonghai Jiuyou Grand Array was once formed by gods. The midnight hour left behind was also a sign of the gods' mercy towards them. Survival under their mercy might be possible, but to truly break through the Tonghai Jiuyou Array is undoubtedly a pipe dream.
Despite the gossip, it did not affect Jiang Yuan's determination in the slightest. He activated the Demon God Body along with the Eight Gates of Body Techniques, and following the guidance of the moonlight, he rushed to the Prison Abyss Barrier, and then began a frantic attempt to break through the barrier.
With one punch, two punches, Jiang Yuan raised his fist and slammed it into the Prison Abyss Barrier, which was enough to make even a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator despair.
If flesh and blood are ineffective, then he will use his star-glass-like arm. If the Ancient God Fist is powerless, then he will unleash the Eternal God Fist with all his might.
Jiang Yuan ignored the unbridled ridicule from others.
In this deep sea, wanting freedom is a ridiculous thing, just as the soul is bound to the body, freedom is forever bound in the abyss.
With deafeningly loud punches, no one counted how many punches Jiang Yuan threw; all they knew was that the figure standing before the Prison Abyss Barrier never stopped for a single second.
Within a short hour, the Prison Abyss was like a battlefield, and every punch Jiang Yuan threw was like the sound of war drums, his indomitable fighting spirit permeating the seawater.
"Snap!"
The walls of the prison shattered with a crash, and at the same time, the shackles in the hearts of those prisoners also broke.
At that moment, they realized a truth: some freedoms must be fought for with fists.
"Slow, too slow!"
Jiang Yuan, his arms hanging limply, had a lifeless gaze. Golden blood dripped from his fingertips. It had taken him a full hour and twenty minutes to break through a barrier in the Prison Abyss. This was far too rushed for him, who only had an hour all he had left. He needed to go not only to the seventeenth level, but also to the sixteenth, the fifteenth, and even the first level.
"Sound waves—the ocean is boundless!"
Jiang Yuan wasted no time. As soon as he entered the seventeenth floor, he activated his killing move, a technique he had learned from his cellmate. Combined with the fused deep-sea mysteries, he was able to sweep through the entire seventeenth floor in the shortest amount of time.
After Jiang Yuan used the Boundless Ocean technique, the prisoners on the seventeenth floor were extremely surprised by the sudden visit of this man. They had only ever seen people coming down from above, but this was the first time they had ever seen someone come up from below.
What are you doing?!
Some people pointed at Jiang Yuan and questioned him, saying they did not welcome this uninvited guest.
However, while Jiang Yuan was urging the Boundless Ocean to search for traces of the human race, unfortunately, no human race appeared in the seventeenth level.
"No, there are signs of humans here!"
Jiang Yuan keenly sensed the unique scent of this place. It was a scent unique to humans, without the fishy smell of the sea or the fluctuations of water energy. It was an aura possessed only by terrestrial creatures.
"Hey kid, our boss is talking to you!"
